Chu Lingtian completely ignored the flirtatious text messages sent by the little demoness Liu Huohuo.
In the afternoon, after work, Chu Lingtian drove Liu Bingxue back to the underground parking lot of the Haoting Villa.
Liu Bingxue fell asleep as soon as she got into the car. After the car stopped, she didn't say a word to Chu Lingtian. She picked up her laptop bag and walked away, looking exhausted.
Chu Lingtian got out of the underground parking lot of Haoting Villa and hailed a ride-sharing car by the roadside to return to his rented apartment.
Ding!
The floor arrived. As soon as Chu Lingtian stepped out of the elevator, he saw a tall woman with a perky backside, carrying a suitcase in her left hand and a handbag slung over her right shoulder. She was facing away from him, furiously kicking his apartment door.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Chu Lingtian walked up to the woman and asked coldly.
The woman turned to look at Chu Lingtian. Her beautiful face, combined with her tall, curvy figure, made her a true stunner.
"Are you the tenant of this apartment?"
The woman asked, appraising Chu Lingtian.
Chu Lingtian also sized up the woman. She wore a white t-shirt and jeans, with white sneakers on her feet. Her attire was neat, and her aura was energetic. This outfit, in particular, accentuated her generous bust and ample hips.
"Yes."
Chu Lingtian paused for a moment before nodding.
Whoosh!
Bang!
Upon hearing Chu Lingtian's answer, the woman dropped her suitcase from her left hand and the handbag from her right shoulder.
Swish!
Immediately, the woman lifted her right leg in a high kick, striking precisely and fiercely towards Chu Lingtian's head.
Chu Lingtian instinctively stepped back, but his back immediately hit the wall. He was about to be hit by the woman's foot.
In a flash, Chu Lingtian's left hand grabbed the woman's ankle.
But the woman was aggressive and furious. Maintaining her high-kicking pose, she pressed forward and asked coldly, "Do you know why I'm beating you?"
"Why?"
Chu Lingtian retorted.
"Because you deserve it! I called you at least twenty times today, and you didn't pick up any of them, making me wait in this hallway all day!"
The woman said angrily.
Chu Lingtian remembered. Indeed, there had been an unfamiliar number persistently calling him that day. He assumed it was spam or a scam and had ignored all the calls. So, it turned out to be this woman. He asked, "I don't know you, why should I answer your calls? By the way, how did you get my phone number?"
"Bastard, I'm the owner of this apartment!"
The woman said angrily.
"You're the owner of this apartment? When I rented this place, a middle-aged woman signed the lease agreement with me. I never saw you."
Chu Lingtian suspected the woman was lying.
"That middle-aged woman is the sub-landlord. I am the true owner of this apartment. I only rented it to her because I was working out of town before, and I allowed her to sublet it. But now I'm back due to some matters..."
Before the woman could finish speaking, Chu Lingtian interrupted.
Chu Lingtian chuckled, "I see. Now that you're back, you want to take back the apartment and live here yourself, and not rent it to me anymore? That won't work!"
"I don't want to take back the apartment; I want to live with you."
The woman said.
"Live together? Beautiful lady, this apartment only has one bedroom, a living room, and one bed. You're saying you want to live with me?"
Chu Lingtian hadn't expected this woman to propose living together.
"There's a sofa in the living room; I can make do with that."
The woman quickly replied.
Chu Lingtian said without hesitation, "I cannot 'make do'!"
"Hey, it's a great deal for you when a beautiful woman like me proposes to live with you. Don't be so ungrateful."
The woman was surprised that Chu Lingtian was completely unmoved by her beauty and said indignantly.
"What's the point of being beautiful if you can see her but not touch her, or have her?"
Chu Lingtian said dismissively.
"You scoundrel, you're asking for a beating!"
Seeing that Chu Lingtian refused to let her in, the woman became enraged and swung her hand to hit him.
Chu Lingtian, who had been holding the woman's ankle with his left hand, yanked it sideways. The woman lost her balance and fell to the ground.
The woman frowned, her eyes filled with surprise. She hadn't expected the seemingly ordinary man in front of her to be so skilled. When she was thrown earlier, she hadn't been able to resist at all.
"I don't have time to play with you. Go find another place to live."
As Chu Lingtian spoke, he opened his door, walked in, and shut it behind him.
"Bastard, I'll fight you to the end!"
The beautiful woman sprang up from the ground like a carp and, just as Chu Lingtian was about to close the door, she lunged forward.
Clang!
"Ah..."
Half of the beautiful woman's body had already entered the apartment, while the other half was still outside. The edge of the door was precisely caught between her ample breasts.
Despite the intense pain from being squeezed by the door, the beautiful woman gritted her teeth, showing a determined expression that she wouldn't retreat no matter what.
Chu Lingtian was also frustrated by the woman's ferocity. He had thought that at the last moment before the door closed, this woman would surely back down, but he hadn't expected her to be so fearless of being crushed.
Of course, Chu Lingtian couldn't possibly crush her to death.
The beautiful woman looked at Chu Lingtian and said with slightly parted red lips, "Hey, can you be a bit gentler? You're hurting my chest."
The door couldn't be closed. Chu Lingtian simply left it open, blocking the doorway. He looked at the beautiful woman and said, "If you really want to move in, you can. You'll sleep on the sofa, and we'll split the rent equally, fifty-fifty."
"No problem!"
The beautiful woman agreed very readily.
Chu Lingtian had nothing more to say and turned to walk into the apartment.
A smug smile appeared on the beautiful woman's lips. She muttered to herself in a low voice, "Bastard, how dare you press my chest! Just you wait, I'll deal with you once I move in!"
Chu Lingtian allowed the beautiful woman to move in for two reasons: first, she was the landlord, and if there were any problems with the apartment, she could resolve them; second, with someone sharing half the rent, the money he saved could be used to treat Wang Dagang's mother and sponsor more impoverished children's lives and education.
"What's your name? My name is Yuan Jing."
The beautiful woman brought her suitcase and handbag into the apartment and asked Chu Lingtian, who was washing up in the bathroom.
"Chu Lingtian." Chu Lingtian replied, then added, "After you move in, besides splitting the rent with me, you must cook meals every night when you're home, and you'll also be responsible for cleaning the house."
"Hey, we're now equal co-tenants. I'm paying half the money, and I'm sleeping on the sofa while you get the bed. Why should I cook and clean too? Do you think I'm your housekeeper?"
Yuan Jing glared at Chu Lingtian with her beautiful eyes, angered.
