Just as Luo Yue was about to dig for more gossip, Ning Ruoxi called, urging them to hurry up and come out.
"That girl... whatâs she in such a hurry for? Itâs like she thinks Iâm going to eat her little man alive."
Luo Yue pouted.
Ye Ling hesitated before starting to explain, "Actually, we..."
"Alright, alright, donât bother explaining! Iâm not going to believe a word you say!"
Luo Yue grumbled, cutting Ye Ling off.
Hearing this, Ye Ling could only shrug.
After saying goodbye to a few of her friends, Luo Yue followed Ye Ling out of the KTV.
Once in the car, Luo Yue very "thoughtfully" gave the front passenger seat to Ye Ling.
Ye Ling could only offer a helpless smile in response.
Girls this age were always quirky and loved to gossip and stir up trouble. He was used to it.
"Ruoruo, whereâs this place you found?"
Luo Yue asked, blinking her eyes.
"Tomson Riviera."
Ning Ruoxi said.
"Holy shit!"
Luo Yue immediately let out another curse, her eyes wide as she stared at Ning Ruoxi. "Iâm telling you, Ruoruo, donât tell me youâre being kept by some rich tycoon?"
Although she knew Ning Ruoxiâs family was wealthy, she also knew they were very strict with her and never gave her much spending money.
So, aside from this car, the girl didnât have much money...
"What the hell are you talking about? If you keep spouting nonsense like this, Iâll throw you out of the car, believe it or not!"
Dark lines instantly appeared on Ning Ruoxiâs smooth forehead.
âMy best friend is just too weird!â she thought now.
Ning Ruoxi sighed and explained, "Itâs at Ye Lingâs place. It has two floors, and weâre living on one. Weâre sort of renting it."
âOh, whatever,â she thought. âSheâs my best friend. I have to spoil her, even if it kills me...â
"What!?"
This time, Luo Yue was completely dumbfounded.
She stared blankly at her best friend.
"You... youâre living together? WAHHH... Ruoruo, you donât want me anymore? Iâm so hurt..."
Luo Yueâs lips immediately puckered into a pout, her face full of grievance. Then, she glared at Ye Ling. "You damn man, you actually stole my woman!"
She looked for all the world like her wife had truly been stolen.
âGetting by in this world really is all about the acting...â Ye Ling lamented internally at the sight.
Ning Ruoxi felt she couldnât take it anymore and slammed on the brakes.
"Get out."
Ning Ruoxi said with a dark expression.
"Nooo... Iâll stop talking, okay?~~"
Hearing that, Luo Yue stuck out her little tongue and didnât dare say another word.
"By the way, mister, which building in Tomson Riviera do you live in?"
Luo Yue asked, looking over curiously.
She hadnât expected it. Ye Ling looked like he dressed pretty plainly, but he was actually this rich!
That was Tomson Riviera, after all!
It wasnât that she couldnât afford it with her background. For that good-for-nothing father of hers, buying a building in Tomson Riviera for her to live in would be a small matter.
However, she had secretly run away from home and had absolutely no money...
Otherwise, she wouldnât have needed to ask Ning Ruoxi for help.
"Building S."
Ye Ling said.
"What?"
Luo Yueâs eyes went wide again when she heard that.
"Whatâs wrong?"
Ye Ling was taken aback. He found it strange that both girls had such a big reaction.
"Are you that âsugar daddyâ from the internet, the one with countless âgoddaughtersâ?"
Luo Yue blurted it out without thinking.
This time, it was Ye Lingâs turn to have dark lines on his face.
If she werenât Ning Ruoxiâs best friend, he really would have done something...
âWhat do you mean, a sugar daddy with countless goddaughters?â
Ning Ruoxi also shot Luo Yue a glare. "What nonsense are you spouting now!"
"You guys donât know about that?"
Luo Yue looked over, her gaze filled with suspicion.
"Know about what?"
Ye Ling genuinely had no idea what this girl was talking about...
Ning Ruoxi also shook her head in confusion. She spent every day just painting, only occasionally watching videos, so she really had no idea what had been happening recently.
"The internet was blowing up about it a while ago. They said the entire Building S of Tomson Riviera was bought by a mysterious person. Then a bunch of people left comments online saying it was their... sugar daddy who bought it. Thatâs why I said..."
Luo Yue stuck out her tongue and explained, a little embarrassed.
Hearing this, Ye Lingâs mouth twitched. âWhat the hell? Such a clichĂ© plot?â
âBuying a building can become a trending topic?â
"Luo Yue, if you say one more reckless thing, you can find your own place to stay."
Ning Ruoxi glared at her dear best friend, but then looked at Ye Ling with a hint of curiosity. "But, you..."
The news that Building S had been bought entirely by one person couldnât possibly be wrong, and Ye Ling was living in the most luxurious suite in Building S...
"Donât believe rumors, donât spread rumors."
Ye Ling said, shaking his head.
He didnât admit it. For one, he didnât feel it was necessary. For another... if he admitted it, then with so many available apartments, the two beauties would probably want to move out.
Sure, he could use the excuse that all the units were already rented out, but the leases would eventually end.
He didnât care if Luo Yue moved out, but for Ning Ruoxi to move out... Ye Ling felt that was absolutely not an option!
Originally, the reason he hadnât wanted to bring Luo Yue along was mainly because he felt she might interfere with his private time with Ning Ruoxi.
But now, it seemed that having one more beautiful woman living with them wasnât so bad after all.
"Thatâs true. Buying a whole building like that would cost over ten billion, I guess."
Ning Ruoxi completely believed Ye Lingâs words and nodded.
Luo Yue, on the other hand, stared at Ye Ling with her big eyes, which narrowed thoughtfully. She wasnât a fool like Ning Ruoxi, who was head over heels in love...
âThe news online must be true.â
âSo, that means...â
When they arrived at the residential complex, Ning Ruoxi turned to Luo Yue. "Yueyue, you and Ye Ling go on up and check out the apartment first. Iâm going to park the car."
"Okay."
Luo Yue nodded and got out of the car.
As they walked into the elevator, Luo Yueâs big eyes kept glancing at Ye Ling.
There were only the two of them in the elevator, so Ye Ling naturally felt her gaze. He gave a wry smile. "Young Miss, if you have something to say, just say it."
In fact, he had noticed Luo Yue staring at him back in the car.
"Since you put it that way, Iâll be direct. Come clean. Are you the one who bought Building S or not!" Luo Yueâs words were shocking, her tone carrying a hint of certainty.
"Huh?"
Ye Ling hadnât expected her to suddenly say something like that and was momentarily stunned.
Just as he was about to say something, Luo Yue waved her hand dismissively.
"Donât try to argue. Itâs like I said, I wonât believe a single word from a bad guy like you who stole my woman."
Luo Yue stared at Ye Ling, looking just like a little detective who had found a clue.
"I mean, really, you little brat, how is Ning Ruoxi âyour womanâ?"
Ye Ling rolled his eyes and reached out to mercilessly pinch her small ear.
