In the rental.
Xixi had already fallen asleep.
Yang Hao was flipping through the Kuaiyin post he had published, which currently had 65 likes and his account gained 20 new followers.
The video’s views had almost stopped increasing, which meant that the traffic brought in from spending three hundred yuan had likely run out!
Earnings of 105 yuan, a loss of 195 yuan!
The first attempt at promoting his work had failed.
However, it wasn’t entirely without gains; Yang Hao decided to listen to those listeners’ suggestions, and next time he filmed material, he would try to include more of Sun Xinyi or other female instructors with good figures.
Right, he should also film more of that person called Meng Yuyu; the viewers would probably like to see her.
With that thought, he opened Weixun. In the afternoon, Meng Yuyu had shared a video with him of her and Sun Xinyi being secretly filmed, and at that time, he was so engrossed in watching the video that he triggered the mission and did not reply to her, which was somewhat impolite.
So, several hours after she sent the message, Yang Hao replied, “I’ve been busy, thanks for sharing.”
At this moment, Meng Yuyu, who was holding her phone and chatting with three “lick-dogs” simultaneously, knew that these admirers occasionally needed to be fed to keep them keen.
So when Yang Hao’s message came through, she saw it immediately.
Meng Yuyu was in a great mood; she had thought that this Brother Yang would continue to be aloof.
However, she didn’t reply to the message right away, as that would seem too cheap. Instead, she quietly pondered what she should respond with.
On the other side, after replying to Meng Yuyu on Weixun, Yang Hao suddenly received a message from Wang Xueru: It seems like the range hood at home is broken again.
Looking at the message from the beautiful young woman, Yang Hao was first taken aback, then he realized.
Is that your range hood that’s broken?
Or is it that your drain needs to be unclogged!
However, Wang Xueru sending such a message at this time was actually a perfect opportunity for Yang Hao to complete his mission.
Wang Xueru’s first mission after she logged in was [Sweet Night], with rewards of a Study Card*1 and Attribute Points*2.
Yang Hao was very interested in Attribute Points. However, due to Shen Mingshan’s presence, he felt there was no chance for the mission, never expecting that Wang Xueru would actually initiate a Weixun message.
Ding!
Just as Yang Hao was considering how to go to the appointment, the other party retracted the message.
This made Yang Hao laugh; clearly, the beautiful young woman was extremely conflicted internally.
“I saw it,” Yang replied.
At this moment, Wang Xueru felt her entire body heat up when she saw Yang Hao’s reply. She regretted sending the message after having been together twice at noon, and then giving such a hint in the evening. What would he think of her?
So, after sending the message for about ten seconds, she hurriedly retracted it, thinking that Yang Hao probably hadn’t seen it.
But he replied instantly, and his simple “I saw it” seemed to strip her naked…
Having come this far, Wang Xueru bit her lip and replied: He’s out messing around, not at home.
Yang Hao’s eyes slightly narrowed as he received the message, a surge of heat rising in his lower abdomen. Any normal man would find it hard to stay calm after receiving such a message, especially when the other party had a buff on her!
He turned his head to look at Xixi, who was sound asleep on the bed, and found himself struggling.
In fact, based on his understanding of Xixi, the girl would sleep until morning. As long as he got back early, it should be fine.
But what if!
What if Xixi woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t find her daddy; what if she was scared?
What if Xixi had an accident by herself at home?
Forget it, his precious daughter is more important!
For someone like Yang Hao, a doting father to his daughter, making this kind of decision wasn’t hard.
Just as he was about to reply to Wang Xueru, he unexpectedly received a WeChat message from Li Manni: “Brother-in-law, I’ve just finished an interview task and can’t return to my school dorm. I’ll have to stay over at your place.”
Seeing the message, Yang Hao couldn’t help but laugh. It was like dozing off and being offered a pillow.
He immediately replied, “Where are you now? It’s so late, let me come pick you up.”
“No need, I’m quite close to your house, I’ll just take a taxi,” Li Manni responded.
“Okay, then send me the license plate number when you get in the taxi.”
Yang Hao sent the message with instructions, then replied to Wang Xueru, “I’ll be there in an hour.”
Wang Xueru became instantly anxious upon receiving the message, as she had never done anything like this before.
Moreover, even though Shen Mingshan wasn’t home, her daughter was, sleeping in the next room!
She began to regret sending Yang Hao the message, feeling nervous and somewhat panicked.
She had actually initiated an invitation to a man to come to her house!
It was something she’d never even dared to consider before…
Elsewhere, after receiving a message that Li Manni had gotten into a taxi, Yang Hao went downstairs and headed straight to the entrance of his residential complex.
The complex he lived in was filled with resettlement housing, and the streetlights inside were broken and didn’t light up. Although the public security in Hua Country was very good, it was still a potential safety concern for a pretty girl to be walking at night.
After waiting for a few minutes at the entrance of the complex, a taxi stopped.
Li Manni pushed open the back door and got out of the car, feeling a warmth in her heart when she saw Yang Hao was waiting for her at the roadside. She smiled and waved at him, “Brother-in-law, you didn’t have to come out especially to fetch me.”
“It’s too dark inside the complex, and I wasn’t at ease.”
Yang Hao replied casually, then added, “Right, I won’t be coming upstairs later. Liu Zifeng just asked me out for drinks, and it’s likely to be very late when we finish. I’ll just sleep at his place, and come back tomorrow morning.”
“So, I’ll leave Xixi in your care for tonight.”
“Oh, okay.”
Li Manni nodded, feeling a bit guilty inside. She knew the brother-in-law was clearly trying to avoid any impropriety, as the house was a single room, making it inconvenient to change clothes or take a shower.
Yet, while feeling guilty, she also felt a hint of disappointment, though she didn’t know where it came from.
The two walked through the dark complex, chatting about Li Manni’s work, and as they passed an electrical box, a stray cat suddenly darted out, meowing loudly.
Li Manni, startled by the sudden appearance of the stray cat, screamed and instinctively threw herself into Yang Hao’s arms.
Yang Hao too was startled by the sudden appearance of the stray cat, but he merely froze for a moment before he felt a soft body crash into his arms, followed by her unique faint fragrance.
“It’s okay, just a stray cat.”
Yang Hao reassured her, gently patting her back a couple of times.
Li Manni, regaining her senses, quickly stepped away from Yang Hao’s embrace, her cheeks burning. Fortunately, the cover of night concealed her awkwardness.
They reached the bottom of the building, and after seeing his former aunt-in-law upstairs, Yang Hao left.
His rented place was only a fifteen-minute car ride away from Holiday International. Soon, Yang Hao, driving an Ascend U8, arrived outside the Holiday International complex, and after some difficulty, he found a parking spot far away from the main entrance of the complex.
After parking, he bought two milk teas from a milk tea shop about to close, and to make entering the complex easier, he purposefully wore a Kangaroo Delivery jacket. Paired with the two milk teas, the security guards naturally didn’t stop him.
He entered the complex without any trouble and made his way to Wang Xueru’s doorstep. Before even sending her a message, the door opened – clearly, the young woman had been waiting inside all along.
As soon as Yang Hao stepped in, she softly closed the door and made a silencing gesture.
Yang Hao smiled and nodded. His gaze unintentionally fell on the young woman’s body. She was wearing a silk red camisole nightgown, with a very low neckline. At a glance, a white, mountainous vista stretched before him.
The nightgown clearly had nothing underneath, as the peaks were noticeably prominent.
Yang Hao swapped into slippers, and scooping up the young woman in his arms, headed straight for the master bedroom…
