"Hey, Xiao Yan, where are you?"
Chu Lingtian took out his phone and dialed Guo Xiaoyan's number, asking.
"Brother Chu, are you okay? Have those thugs been caught?"
Guo Xiaoyan didn't answer Chu Lingtian's question first but was very worried about his safety.
Chu Lingtian smiled and said, "I'm fine. Are you still with Wang Dagang and the others?"
"No, Wang Dagang and they have all left. I'm at the entrance of the residential community where I rent my apartment. I was going to call you, but I was afraid of disturbing you while you were chasing the thugs."
Guo Xiaoyan replied.
"Then where will you sleep tonight?"
Chu Lingtian asked with a hint of worry.
Guo Xiaoyan replied nervously, "I don't know. I've never booked a hotel room by myself before, and I don't have my ID with me..."
"Ah?" Chu Lingtian was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Then how about this, you wait for me at the entrance of the community, and I'll come find you."
"Mhm, mhm."
Guo Xiaoyan nodded obediently, very happy.
About ten minutes later, Chu Lingtian took a taxi to the entrance of the residential community where Guo Xiaoyan rented her apartment. After getting out of the car, he immediately saw Guo Xiaoyan hugging herself in the cold wind.
"Xiao Yan, put this on."
Chu Lingtian walked over to Guo Xiaoyan and took off his jacket, handing it to her.
"Brother Chu, I'm not cold..."
Guo Xiaoyan was about to refuse, but Chu Lingtian interrupted her.
Chu Lingtian walked behind Guo Xiaoyan, draped the jacket over her shoulders, and said with a smile, "You're not cold? You're shivering."
Guo Xiaoyan's delicate and beautiful face blushed, her expression filled with happiness.
"By the way, where are you staying tonight? I didn't bring my ID either."
Chu Lingtian asked.
"I don't know."
Guo Xiaoyan shook her head. In fact, in her heart, as long as she could be with Chu Lingtian, it didn't matter where she slept tonight.
Chu Lingtian thought for a moment. Going to his rented apartment wouldn't work. It was a one-bedroom apartment, and Chen Yuan and Yuan Jing, two beautiful flight attendants, were staying there. It wouldn't be convenient for Guo Xiaoyan to go there, and he couldn't have her sleep on the sofa with him, could he?
As for Liu Bingxue's new house, that wouldn't work either. Although the terms of their engagement agreement were very clear that they would not interfere with each other's private lives and could find other romantic partners, it had also been stated before that they couldn't bring people into the shared residence for indiscriminate behavior.
"How about this, I'll take you to a friend's place."
Chu Lingtian thought of someone and then said to Guo Xiaoyan with a smile.
"Friend?"
Guo Xiaoyan asked with some confusion.
"Mhm, you've met this person before."
Chu Lingtian nodded.
Then Chu Lingtian hailed a taxi by the roadside and took Guo Xiaoyan away from the entrance of the community.
About half an hour later, Chu Lingtian brought Guo Xiaoyan to the entrance of a quadrangle courtyard.
The four armed guards standing at the entrance saw Chu Lingtian arrive with a woman and quickly bowed and greeted, "Mr. Chu."
"Mhm, is your Sister Mei here?"
Chu Lingtian asked.
"Sister Mei is out on business. I'll call her right away."
A guard replied respectfully.
"No need." Chu Lingtian refused the guard, then looked at the somewhat nervous Guo Xiaoyan, took her hand, and said, "Let's go in."
"Oh."
Guo Xiaoyan nodded.
Watching Chu Lingtian hold Guo Xiaoyan's hand and walk into the quadrangle courtyard, the four armed guards at the entrance were somewhat surprised, wondering who this pure and beautiful woman was to Chu Lingtian.
Bai Mei wasn't home, what did Chu Lingtian intend to do by bringing this woman alone to the quadrangle courtyard?
Chu Lingtian led Guo Xiaoyan into the quadrangle courtyard.
The quadrangle courtyard was built uniquely. In the center was a two-story villa, and courtyards were built around the villa.
After entering, Chu Lingtian again instructed the guards at the entrance to bring some food and drinks, mainly because he thought Guo Xiaoyan hadn't eaten much tonight and must be hungry.
"Brother Chu, who exactly is your friend?"
Guo Xiaoyan asked curiously.
"Bai Mei, the female boss from the bar last time. She's also a big figure in the underworld of Dachang City."
Chu Lingtian replied.
Guo Xiaoyan suddenly realized and asked, "Brother Chu, what's your relationship with Bai Mei?"
"Friends, otherwise she wouldn't have helped us out at the bar last time."
Chu Lingtian said.
Guo Xiaoyan said with some concern, "Then, perhaps you should give her a call? After all, it's not very polite to stay at someone's house without informing them."
"Alright, I'll send her a message later, telling her that the two of us will be sleeping at her place tonight."
Chu Lingtian smiled.
After finishing their late-night snack, Guo Xiaoyan very gently and considerately cleaned up the dining table.
Chu Lingtian lit a cigarette, then stood up from the sofa and led Guo Xiaoyan to the doors of two bedrooms on the first floor of the villa, saying:
"Xiao Yan, it's getting late, you sleep in this room, and I'll take the one next door."
Guo Xiaoyan glanced at the two rooms in front of her, her expression somewhat constrained, "Brother Chu, please remember to send Sister Bai Mei a message, otherwise it's really impolite for us to just move into her home like this."
"Don't worry, if she knew I was sleeping at her place tonight, she'd definitely be so excited she'd start flowing."
Chu Lingtian blurted out subconsciously as he thought of Bai Mei's seductive behavior in bed with him.
Guo Xiaoyan frowned slightly and asked, "Excited she'd start flowing?"
"Haha, I was just using a metaphor. Go to bed quickly. The room has its own bathroom, and all the toiletries are provided."
Chu Lingtian laughed.
Guo Xiaoyan felt that the words "excited she'd start flowing" were a bit strange, but she had never experienced intimacy between men and women, nor had she experienced the joy of conjugal bliss, so she couldn't quite understand the true meaning of "flowing" in Chu Lingtian's words.
Seeing Guo Xiaoyan enter the room, Chu Lingtian also went into the bedroom next door.
After washing up, Chu Lingtian glanced at the time. It was already half past eleven at night. He lay down on the bed to sleep, having not yet sent Bai Mei a message to inform her of his arrival.
Less than forty minutes after he fell asleep, the door to Chu Lingtian's bedroom was gently opened.
Chu Lingtian woke up instantly. As a former king of soldiers, his alertness was extremely high, but he didn't open his eyes, remaining still on the bed without making a sound.
A graceful female figure quietly walked in from outside the bedroom door, barefoot, and cautiously approached the bedside.
Even without opening his eyes to look, Chu Lingtian could already tell who this woman was by the faint scent she exuded...
