Gorgeous Female Tenants

Jiangcheng suddenly snapped out of it and mischievously said, "Qing Yu, you know, there’s really no need to rush. But if you’ve fallen for me at first sight, I guess I could reluctantly accept you."

Hu Qingyu coolly responded, "Only a ghost would fall in love with a rogue like you at first sight."

"Then you’re the ghost girl! A Beautiful Ghost Story! I’d gladly be Ning Caichen, even though he’s not as handsome as I am," Xu Xiangbei earnestly said, as if he were taking on the role of Ning Caichen begrudgingly.

Hu Qingyu didn’t want to talk to him anymore. Such a person, give him a little sunshine, and he’d brilliantly shine; give him a little color, and he’d set up a dye house. His ability to climb ropes was getting stronger and stronger. She finally gritted her teeth and coldly spat out two words: "It’s fake!"

"What’s fake? The words you just said are fake," Xu Xiangbei pretended to be shocked, patting his chest, then seemed somewhat relieved as he said, "Thank goodness it’s fake. With no chest, no butt, no figure, no looks, any wife in my family is better than you."

Hu Qingyu stared straight at him, making him too afraid to continue. What girl doesn’t like being praised for her beauty?

Hu Qingyu was originally one of the campus beauties of Jinjiang University, yet Xu Xiangbei spoke so harshly of her.

Hu Qingyu opened the car door, ready to leave, but Xu Xiangbei grabbed her. He realized she was genuinely angry and tried to coax her, "Qing Yu, I was just joking with you. Your beauty is indescribable. You, just two words: beautiful; four words: very beautiful. The saying ’fish sink, geese fall, the moon hides, flowers shame’ describes you perfectly!" After he said this, Hu Qingyu’s expression improved.

Hu Qingyu initially wanted to leave but remembered the trouble she was in, forcing her to lower her head to Xu Xiangbei, gritting her teeth and saying word by word, "I... want... you... to... pretend... to be... my... boyfriend."

"Oh, so you want a pretend boyfriend. I thought it was a real one. Relax, I’m good at this, I’ve got experience," Xu Xiangbei patted his chest, promising confidently.

"Seems like you have quite some experience in this field?" Hu Qingyu said with an inexplicable smile on her face.

Xu Xiangbei smirked and said, "Not just in this field, also in others. I’m very, very experienced. We can give it a try tonight."

"Scoundrel, perpetually incorrigible." Hu Qingyu’s face turned slightly red.

Xu Xiangbei smiled and said: "I pretend to be your boyfriend, could you fulfill some girlfriend duties?"

Before he finished, Hu Qingyu bluntly and decisively replied, "No way."

"Then why bother asking me to pretend to be your girlfriend? Anyone with eyes can see right through it."

"What do you want to do then?"

"What can I do? If you want me to pretend to be your boyfriend, I have to do boyfriend things, like holding hands and kissing..." Xu Xiangbei said seriously.

Hu Qingyu thought for a moment and said helplessly, "Holding hands is fine, but kissing is absolutely not."

"Okay, okay..." Xu Xiangbei, looking as if his scheme succeeded, reached out and grabbed Hu Qingyu’s smooth, jade-like small hand, holding it in his palm, preventing her from pulling it back, no matter how hard she tried.

Hu Qingyu, helplessly, could only bite her lip and said, blushing slightly, "Let go!"

"Aren’t we supposed to pretend to be a couple? Didn’t you say holding hands is okay?"

Hu Qingyu wished she could slap him and immediately get out of the car, but recalling she needed his help, she only lowered her head and coldly said, "There’s no one around now. Who are you pretending for?"

Xu Xiangbei smirked and said: "If we’re going to pretend, we should make it realistic."

Hu Qingyu couldn’t argue. The bitter fruit she had sown had to be consumed by herself. She let him hold her hand, her face slightly red. After all, it was the first time she allowed a guy to hold her hand...

While driving and chatting for a long time, Xu Xiangbei learned about the situation from Hu Qingyu, understanding why she wanted him to pretend to be her boyfriend.

Three months ago, one of the school bullies at Jinjiang University, Wei Bang, saw Hu Qingyu on campus by chance and was captivated by her beauty. He vowed to pursue her and blocked her every day at her classroom door, dormitory entrance, and the school gate with his gang. He sent flowers and roses, employing all kinds of tactics almost exhaustively.

Other girls would have fallen for it long ago, but Hu Qingyu knew Wei Bang well. Her high school classmate Chen Yao was won over by Wei Bao using similar tactics and got pregnant within three months, only to be dumped by Wei Bang.

Chen Yao, in tears, sought out Hu Qingyu, and together they went to the hospital for an abortion. Chen Yao, heartbroken and dispirited, was a sight that broke Hu Qingyu’s heart, so Wei Bang had long been on her blacklist.

That wasn’t the worst of it. More importantly, she had heard of a girl that Wei Bang failed to woo with his varied tactics and ended up being raped by him.

The girl’s family was unwilling to accept this and took it to court. But the Wei family was influential, reportedly tycoons in the real estate industry, and somehow, the matter was quietly resolved, causing the girl to drop out...

Although Hu Qingyu intensely disliked Wei Bang, she dared not act rashly. Even after rejecting him many times, Wei Bang was relentless.

Lately, Wei Bang’s patience was wearing thin. If Hu Qingyu hadn’t been walking with friends so often, he might have already found a way to get to her. So, she was forced to tell Wei Bang that she already had a boyfriend.

Hu Qingyu initially thought of randomly picking a guy at school to cover it up, but given Wei Bang’s thorough knowledge of her school life and connections, she knew it wouldn’t work. With no other acquaintances off-campus, she had to turn to Xu Xiangbei.

Xu Xiangbei laughed heartily after hearing it all, then looked at her with determined eyes and said, "Don’t worry, I’m heaven-sent to specifically deal with creeps like him."

Hu Qingyu looked at him, a bit worried, and said, "Don’t boast. His family’s influence is massive. It’s said they control over two-thirds of the real estate in Jiangcheng, having power in both the legitimate and illegitimate worlds. Even the law can’t touch them."

Xu Xiangbei gently patted her hand and said with a smile, "Darling, rest assured. What the law can’t handle, I can."

Hu Qingyu glared at him, mistaking her good intentions for ill, and said angrily, "Just be careful, or don’t blame me for not paying your medical bills if you get injured."

"No one in the world can cripple me. It’s always been me crippling others," Xu Xiangbei said with a wave of his big hand, exuding an air of lonely mastery.

"He arranged to meet me at Jinshang KTV today."

"All right, let’s go..."

Xu Xiangbei closed the car door, turned the steering wheel, stepped on the gas, and the car sped up. On a sharp turn, Hu Qingyu, sitting beside him, fell into his arms.

With one hand on Hu Qingyu, feeling her softness, and the other on the steering wheel, Xu Xiangbei took another sharp turn, causing her to topple into his arms again just as she was about to sit up.

A gentle voice came from beside her ear, "Don’t move. I told you to buckle your seatbelt."

"That’s because you were driving too fast!" Hu Qingyu said weakly, her face red, being held in his arms. Xu Xiangbei wore a mischievous smile, savoring the softness of his embrace, driving at breakneck speed towards Jinshang KTV.
