Qiao Yang, ……

A nasally soft laugh sound came from behind him, followed by Gu Ye’s voice, leisurely and indifferent, “Young Master Qiao, do you need my help?”

The rhetorical question was asked with a slightly high intonation, but one couldn’t hear a trace of concern. Instead it was like a ridicule.

Qiao Yang’s body stood up straight and turned his head again, then drew the corner of his mouth to give him a dry smile, “No need to bother president Gu. I’ll ask my assistant, you go home and get busy[1], don’t worry about me.”

The man shed his embarrassed look, his complexion was calm and his voice was flat and clear.

After saying that, he turned around and didn’t look at Gu Ye. Instead, he looked down and grabbed his phone to make a call.

Gu Ye narrowed his eyes slightly as he took a close look at the man’s back, he smiled as he said in a laughing voice, “Then if Young Master Qiao needs a helping hand just say it.”

Qiao Yang didn’t turn his head, his voice perfunctory, “Well, thank you in advance.”

Gu Ye indifferently shrugged his shoulders and closed the door.

Finally left.

Qiao Yang heaved a sigh of relief.

He didn’t know why, but Gu Ye always made him feel a sense of oppression when he was next to him.

Those two eyes looked like they were smiling, but the eyes were completely devoid of warmth. They even had an icy questioning look[2] to them.

His every movement seemed cultured and refined, an elegant and graceful gentleman, but Qiao Yang could see that it was all pretense.

The real Gu Ye was the kind of person who was simply difficult to decipher.

Liu Wen was still outside to purchase house furnitures for Qiao Yang’s new home, after receiving the call from Qiao Yang, he shrieked in panic and quickly apologized.

“Ah! Young Master Qiao, I’m sorry I’m sorry. I forgot to explain this matter to you.”

“Because you said you were going to sell it before, so the password was reset and the new password was posted[3] on the household card.”

Qiao Yang pinched the householder card and looked at the string of numbers affixed to it, ……

Liu Wen sounded extremely guilty, this could be taken as the assistant’s negligence, to actually let his immediate superior face the plight of being locked out of his home.

“I’ll contact the property manager right away and ask them to come and unlock it. But I guess you have to wait for a while.”

“There is a cafe outside, how about you…… you go inside first and sit for a while.”

Liu Wen’s voice was getting lower and lower, so scared that he wanted to cry, “I’m sorry, I will get there as soon as I can…… “

Qiao Yang gently reassured him, “Got it. It’s okay, you be careful on the way.”

After he hung up his phone, he contacted the property manager himself. The technician staff could come over in ten minutes to unlock the door, there was also no need to go downstairs to the cafe and wait.

Gu Ye’s home.

Because of Qiao Yang’s sudden arrival, Geng Hui quickly checked up on the residence’s transaction information.

“You’ve always been trying to buy the residence across the hall but couldn’t find information on the owner, and now the third young master of the Qiao family has suddenly moved in. Could it be that, it was originally his residence?”

Geng Hui speculated, “He moved in at this time, he must have deliberately approached you in order to compete to bid for Qifengtai.”

Gu Ye was indifferent, “Is that so?”

He had not seen Qiao Yang for more than a few times, the first time was probably gotten drunk by wine and drunkenly shout at him.

The next time was at a banquet, he was humble, polite, and gentle.

Furthermore, just now, he showed a panic expression after knowing that he opened the wrong door. When he apologized, he was distincted, cool, free and at ease, then finally became indifferent and somewhat detached.

Such a person was really inscrutable. Did he really approach him on purpose for a piece of land?

The property manager’s[4] service of the high-end community was considerate, thoughtful and attentive.

He was told to wait for ten minutes, and five minutes later the lock technician rushed over with the equipment in his arms.

After they quickly unlocked the door for Qiao Yang, they taught him how to set a new password, and finally left a 24-hour service phone number for property services.

Ten minutes later, Qiao Yang finally entered his home.

The house was big, and because there was no furniture and decorations, it was more spacious and open.

He stood in the center of the living room, looking around the layout and ambient of the living room, and his expression gradually eased. The heart that had been nervous had finally settled down.

If nothing else unexpected happened, this place would be his home in this world.

Gu Ye had a dinner gathering in the evening, but he lost track of time as soon as he became busy.

Geng Hui reminded him, “President Gu, it’s getting late. We will be late if we don’t leave now.”

Gu Ye raised his head from the document in front of him. He looked at the time and frowned, “Pack up and let’s go.”

Time was indeed tight, they needed to hurry and get to the banquet hall in half an hour.
