While Zhou Yuwen was on the phone call with Zheng Yanyan, Lu Lin was exceptionally obedient. Without uttering a single word, she quietly stayed on the side, using wet wipes to wipe her body.
However, it had to be said that the chatting between Zhou Yuwen and Zheng Yanyan was truly a bit scummy.
Appearing pitifully, Zheng Yanyan kept saying how much she missed Zhou Yuwen and wanted to et once.
Zhou Yuwen told her they would talk about it when he had ti.
Initially, Lu Lin had felt a bit of sympathy for Zheng Yanyan.
But then Zheng Yanyan abruptly changed the topic and said, "Hubby, I was on a phone call with Linlin just now, and she kept panting at . Her panting sounded just like... let
imitate it for you."
Zheng Yanyan demonstrated for Zhou Yuwen. Lu Lin frowned deeply as she listened, but Zhou Yuwen burst into loud laughter. That was not an imitation at all; it was entirely her own moaning.
When Lu Lin was making those sounds, she was suppressing her moans, so it was really hard to call it moaning. Zheng Yanyan was completely different, constantly humming on the other end. That alluring charm was so blatant that Lu Lin could barely stand to listen.
Zhou Yuwen asked, "What are you doing?"
"Is that how Linlin was moaning at you?"
"That is exactly how she was moaning!" Zheng Yanyan insisted with absolute certainty.
Zhou Yuwen asked, "Then why would she moan like that to you?"
Zheng Yanyan replied, "She told
she was out for a run, but I did not believe her."
"Then what was she doing?"
"Well, she must have been... doing it with her boyfriend while on the phone call with ."
Zhou Yuwen remarked that her imagination was quite well-developed.
"It is true, Hubby. It is not like I have never moaned before, how could I not recognize it?"
Zhou Yuwen looked at Lu Lin, who was on the bed using a blanket to cover her body, revealing only a beautiful shoulder and a calf. He asked with great interest, "Then who do you think has a more alluring charm when moaning, you or her?"
Seeing that Zhou Yuwen was willing to keep chatting, Zheng Yanyan was naturally delighted. She declared, "Of course, my moaning has more alluring charm! I am always the most alluring in front of my Hubby!"
Zhou Yuwen said, "Oh, is that so?"
"I also think you are the most alluring."
"Hehe."
Receiving such an evaluation from Zhou Yuwen made Zheng Yanyan extrely happy.
In truth, one could not bla Zheng Yanyan for talking about Lu Lin behind her back. After all, it did not really count as badmouthing. Furthermore, using Lu Lin's situation to create a topic with her boyfriend was completely unobjectionable in Zheng Yanyan's eyes.
She did not actually care whether Lu Lin was running or doing sothing else. The important thing was that it opened up a topic of conversation with Zhou Yuwen.
Afterward, Zheng Yanyan sighed and said that even Linlin had soone to love her, while she was left all alone without any love.
"Hubby, why do you not take so ti to co ho? If not, I can just keep quiet, and we can pretend we have not yet decided to reconcile. It can just be a simple physical exchange." Zheng Yanyan twisted her body, whining coquettishly through the phone.
Zhou Yuwen said, "How could we not speak?"
"If we do that, what is the point of a cold war?"
Feeling wronged, Zheng Yanyan complained, "But I miss you!"
Zhou Yuwen told her, "When you miss , just try hugging the quilt."
Zheng Yanyan's face flushed red as she whined, "You are so bad."
Zhou Yuwen said, "Alright, I am genuinely quite busy right now."
"I am not breaking up with you; we just need to cool off for a bit."
"Sobbing, you are going to lose your little cutie if you keep this up."
In a joking tone, Zhou Yuwen replied, "If that really happens, then move out of my house."
Zheng Yanyan began sobbing again, "I do not want to!"
Zhou Yuwen said, "That is more like it."
"It is not like I am forbidding you from living in the house."
"Do you have enough money on you?"
"I am doing okay."
"Mhm, I will transfer another two thousand to you. The holidays are coming up, so treat yourself better."
"Hehe, thank you, Hubby."
With this entire routine from Zhou Yuwen, it did not feel like a breakup at all. Naturally, Zheng Yanyan was no longer unhappy.
However, listening to all this made Lu Lin feel a bit displeased.
Zhou Yuwen coaxed Zheng Yanyan with a few more sweet words before finally hanging up the phone call.
Only then did he think about getting into bed to embrace Lu Lin for sleeping.
Who would have known that Lu Lin would simply tilt her head and turn her back to Zhou Yuwen.
Confused, Zhou Yuwen asked her what was wrong.
Only to hear Lu Lin retort, "Go find your most alluring little cutie. I do not have any alluring charm."
Hearing this, Zhou Yuwen imdiately chuckled. "What is wrong? Are you actually angry?"
And so the night passed. Spending the evening with Lu Lin did not take much ntal effort. They just had a little pre-sleep workout, and then when he woke up in the morning, Lu Lin was probably still half-asleep. In that dazed state, Zhou Yuwen felt the urge and slipped right in without bothering to ask for her consent.
By the ti Lu Lin opened her eyes, her face was completely flushed red.
Starting at half-past six, he had already dropped Lu Lin back off at the university by eight o'clock.
Zhou Yuwen and Jiang Xinyi had agreed to go see a villa in Blue Bay at ten o'clock in the morning.
After sending Lu Lin back to the university, Zhou Yuwen drove to the Xuanwu District to pick up Jiang Xinyi, and then headed back toward the university town.
At Jiang Xinyi's house, he bumped into Liu Jing. Liu Jing had always been incredibly satisfied with Zhou Yuwen and warmly invited him to co in and sit down.
Zhou Yuwen had wanted to go inside, but Jiang Xinyi was in a frantic hurry. After a simple breakfast, she announced, "Mom, I am leaving now!"
"You are a grown woman now, show a bit of ladylike grace!" Liu Jing scolded gently.
Jiang Xinyi just giggled. Holding a canvas bag in her right hand, she linked her left arm through Zhou Yuwen's and rushed outside.
She and Zhou Yuwen had not spent that much ti together, but they had already reached this level of familiarity.
Seeing her daughter so naturally clinging to Zhou Yuwen's arm left Liu Jing slightly stunned.
However, she did not say a word.
A wealthy girl like Jiang Xinyi did not drip with gold and silver as one might imagine. Her outfits were far more casual and comfortable. Today, for instance, she was wearing a simple crewneck top paired with wide-leg jeans for her bottoms.
Underneath the crewneck hoodie, she seed to be wearing a white t-shirt, which was visible from the neckline.
She was already very used to taking the passenger seat in Zhou Yuwen's car. Noticing that the passenger seat did not seem to have been adjusted recently, Jiang Xinyi grew curious. "Hey, Zhou Yuwen, has your girlfriend not been riding in your car much lately?"
Zhou Yuwen asked her why she would ask such a thing.
Jiang Xinyi replied, "You have not really adjusted the seat at all."
Zhou Yuwen had never noticed this detail before. In his mory, it seed that only Zheng Yanyan would adjust the seat to her liking. Lu Lin and Qu Jing rarely seed to bother with it.
He had not expected Jiang Xinyi to be so observant.
Thus, Zhou Yuwen quipped, "Oh, am I not just preparing to flatter a wealthy lady? My girlfriend originally wanted to adjust it, but I beat her up all night until she cried and changed it back."
"Ha!"
Jiang Xinyi was thoroughly amused by Zhou Yuwen. "You are not actually having a conflict with your partner, are you?"
Zhou Yuwen thought to himself, 'The campus forum is already boiling over with gossip, could you not just go take a look for yourself?'
But Zhou Yuwen would not bring up such matters; he rely told her that she was overthinking it.
Ten o'clock was the perfect ti for bright, beautiful sunshine.
Jiang Xinyi had already made arrangents in advance, so a saleswoman wearing a suit was waiting at the entrance bright and early. Seeing Zhou Yuwen and Jiang Xinyi approach, she imdiately walked over to greet them.
"Hello there, you must be the guests introduced by President Liu, right?"
"Yes."
And so, the three of them boarded an electric sightseeing cart to view the actual properties.
The property Zhou Yuwen was looking at was a semi-detached villa. It boasted a built-up area of 350 square ters, ca with a complintary 100-square-ter small courtyard, and was delivered fully furnished.
It featured a high-ceiling living room design.
The French window led straight out to the small courtyard. Additionally, the second floor had two small balconies, while the third floor boasted a large terrace.
Holding all the docunts for the property, the agent dedicated herself entirely to introducing the features to Zhou Yuwen and Jiang Xinyi.
In truth, she did not know Zhou Yuwen and Jiang Xinyi's true identities. She only knew they were introduced by the boss and that she needed to serve them attentively. The asking price for this house was around six million yuan, including hard furnishings. The standard discount was five percent, but since Zhou Yuwen had connections, they were given a direct ten percent discount.
That brought the price down to 5.4 million yuan.
It also ca with a private garage entrance.
If a garage was not needed, it could even be renovated into a small room.
Furthermore, even though the built-up area was stated as 350 square ters, other owners in the residential area had a habit of excavating their own basents. Such matters fell into the gray area of no complaint, no investigation.
To be honest, most villa basents were technically illegal, but the advantage of buying a villa was gaining significant land usage rights.
Zhou Yuwen had never bought a villa before and was admittedly lacking in knowledge about certain aspects. Jiang Xinyi, on the other hand, was much more professional. She inspected every nook and cranny, asking the saleswoman several pointed questions.
The saleswoman answered each one with the utmost dedication.
The high-ceiling living room enjoyed abundant natural lighting. On the far right side sat a mahogany-colored piano.
Jiang Xinyi was thrilled when she spotted it, smiling brightly as she exclaid, "They actually have a piano here!"
Hearing this, the saleswoman chuckled and explained that it was originally ant for the model ho, but since they ended up with an extra one over there, it was moved here instead.
As they spoke, Jiang Xinyi had already taken a seat in front of the piano.
She looked incredibly professional as she sat there.
First, she tested out a few high notes, which rang out crisp and clear.
Her technique was highly skilled.
Zhou Yuwen and the saleswoman walked over to the piano. Zhou Yuwen teased, "Do you even know how to play? Do not end up breaking their piano."
"Looking down on , are you!?"
Clearly annoyed, Jiang Xinyi swiftly played a short segnt.
It began with a soothing lody before gradually building up in intensity.
It was "Jasmine Flower"!
"Jasmine Flower" was a genuinely beautiful piano piece filled with layered depth. Moreover, as the song progressed, it transitioned from joyous to sorrowful, deeply testing the pianist's foundational skills.
Jiang Xinyi played with intense focus, while the saleswoman and Zhou Yuwen listened with rapt attention.
As the final note faded, Jiang Xinyi bead with pride.
"Ha! How was that! Are you still going to look down on !?"
Zhou Yuwen gave a slight pout, stating, "It was just average. It is not like it was an original piece composed by you!"
"Tsk, you say that as if you know how to compose originals. If you are so capable, why do you not play sothing for us."
"I will if I have to, it is just a piece of cake! Move aside!"
Because the Double Festivities Gala was coming up soon, Zhou Yuwen had been continuously practicing the track for "Fleet of Ti." He had never systematically learned the piano, but he was a master of the guitar. When it ca to the piano, as long as he hit the correct notes, he could easily play a tune.
So, Zhou Yuwen squeezed Jiang Xinyi out of the way.
And took his place on the seat.
Pianos were the kind of instrunt that, regardless of whether a person knew how to play, they would always want to ss around with a few keys upon seeing one.
Seeing Zhou Yuwen putting on a serious facade, Jiang Xinyi felt a sense of disdain. She thought to herself, 'An original composition, huh!? Does he even know how to play? His hand posture is completely wrong!'
Before Jiang Xinyi could even finish her thought.
Zhou Yuwen began to play.
Zhou Yuwen did not attempt to play the entirety of "Fleet of Ti."
He only played a section of the high notes, which happened to be the most beautiful part of the lody.
The lyrics for that section were:
Just like the haste of that year, Carving out a promise to be together forever, Such a beautiful rumor!
If the past is still worth longing for!
Do not let the resentnts fade too quickly!
Who would be willing to just let it end—with no ties or attachnts to each other!
This specific section was the absolute highlight of the entire song, and it inherently had to be played on a piano. A guitar simply could not reach notes that high. When playing this part on the piano, there was a rhythmic section that seed chaotic yet perfectly organized, almost perfectly mirroring a hurried, flustered heart!
It felt even more like a profound regret towards one's fading youth!
Then transitioning into the slower rhythm that followed:
We must owe each other, Otherwise, what right do we have to reminisce?
It was rely a brief, simple excerpt, yet it left both Jiang Xinyi and the saleswoman standing behind Zhou Yuwen completely stunned.
The saleswoman did not have too many deep thoughts on it. Simply because it was a song she had never heard before, she clapped her hands happily and exclaid, "Wow, that sounds so good!"
Jiang Xinyi, on the other hand, jolted as if waking abruptly from a dream the mont the piano stopped.
She stared at Zhou Yuwen in utter disbelief.
Zhou Yuwen, however, just let out a light chuckle. "Well? Are you shocked?"
"Did... did you write this yourself?"
"Of course. There are lyrics to go with it, too. I will be performing this at the Double Festivities Gala tomorrow. When I sing the lyrics, it will completely blow your mind!"
"There are lyrics too?!"
Jiang Xinyi was genuinely astounded. She had studied the piano, but even soone without any musical training could hear that this song was imbued with intense personal emotion capable of strongly resonating with others. The segnt Zhou Yuwen had just played was particularly spine-tingling.
Jiang Xinyi was thoroughly captivated.
She pushed Zhou Yuwen off to the side once more.
Then, relying purely on her mory, she flawlessly repeated the exact segnt Zhou Yuwen had just played.
This left Zhou Yuwen genuinely shocked.
Jiang Xinyi made no effort to hide her absolute adoration for the lody. "Is this a complete composition? There has to be more than just this one part. Where is the rest of it? Write the sheet music out for !"
Seeing the eager look in her eyes, Zhou Yuwen replied, "I can, but on one condition."
"What condition!?" Jiang Xinyi asked hurriedly.
"Go on stage and be my accompanist tomorrow," Zhou Yuwen said.
"?"
"That is it?" Jiang Xinyi was sowhat speechless, feeling like this was simply a piece of cake.
"Easy enough. Hurry up and give
the sheet music, I need to rush and practice!"
To be completely honest, for anyone with a slight foundation in piano, playing pop music directly from sheet music was truly not difficult. Usually, it only took about two playthroughs to master it.
Zhou Yuwen had originally planned to sing while playing the guitar, but after hearing Jiang Xinyi play the piano just now, he changed his mind. Having a live accompanist did not seem like a bad idea at all.
Jiang Xinyi wanted to tell him to hand over the lyrics as well.
But Zhou Yuwen simply said, "Just play according to what I write down. I will wait until tomorrow to sing the lyrics and shock you!"
"Tsk, if you do not give
the lyrics, how am I supposed to coordinate with you?"
"Then we will just have to see if our minds are in sync!"
Zhou Yuwen said with a laugh.
Jiang Xinyi rolled her eyes.
The saleswoman had originally brought them here to look at the house. Seeing them veer entirely off course, she felt a bit awkward and wanted to pull the topic back. Thus, she chose a rather inopportune mont to speak up. "Haha, with the two of you having such fantastic musical talent, your future child is bound to be a little musician, right?"
"???"
Hearing this, Jiang Xinyi was utterly bewildered. "Wait, what did you just say?"
The saleswoman looked at them strangely and asked, "Eh, are you two not a couple?"
"Oh, then I must have been mistaken. I thought the two of you were getting married and ca here to buy a marital ho."
With just a few words, the saleswoman successfully steered the topic back to the property.
Jiang Xinyi's pretty face turned red. Strangely enough, she did not feel any sense of disgust.
But very quickly, Jiang Xinyi beca upset.
Because Zhou Yuwen turned to the saleswoman and said, "Sister, what is wrong with your eyes? Do I look that old? She is six years older than ."
