Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

Page 169

After a while, Zhong Xiaoqin suddenly said, "Lin Yi, thank you."

"Hmm? Why are you thanking me all of a sudden?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.

“You rented such a big house for Nini, and she said she felt it was too empty living alone, so she wanted me to come and keep her company,” Zhong Xiaoqin said with a smile. “Living near the mall, it’s only a few minutes’ walk, so I can sleep in later.”

Lin Yi chuckled at Zhong Xiaoqin's adorable words and said with a smile, "It's a house rented to Manny, she can do whatever she wants with it, no need to be polite."

In the TV series "Nothing But Thirty", Lin Yi's favorite character is probably not Gu Jia, who has the image of a perfect wife, but Zhong Xiaoqin, who is simple and cute.

As for Wang Manni, she is quite capable, but she has some personality issues.

As for the specifics and whether there's still a chance, we'll have to observe for a while longer.

"You still like to sleep in late, huh?" Lin Yi said.

"Who doesn't like it? Spring drowsiness, summer fatigue, autumn naps, I feel sleepy every day," Zhong Xiaoqin said shyly.

Lin Yi almost laughed when he heard this.

At that moment, Zhong Xiaoqin received a phone call.

Without realizing it, Zhong Xiaoqin turned on speakerphone.

"Mom, is something wrong?" Zhong Xiaoqin asked softly.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to tell you, Xiaoqin, you're not getting any younger, you should start thinking about finding a partner," said Zhong Xiaoqin's mother.

Zhong Xiaoqin was startled and hurriedly turned off the speakerphone.

Zhong Xiaoqin blushed and said evasively, "Mom, I'd better not talk to you now, I'm still on my way to work."

Lin Yi was quite surprised to hear this.

Zhong Xiaoqin, she's still not married?

Did his arrival cause some things to change?

"Honestly, I'm not that old." Zhong Xiaoqin muttered to herself after hanging up.

“That’s true. If you said you were eighteen, people would believe you,” Lin Yi said with a smile.

Lin Yi wasn't simply praising Zhong Xiaoqin; rather, he was pointing out how deceptive her appearance was.

Zhong Xiaoqin looks very young and has a baby face.

"No way," Zhong Xiaoqin said, a little embarrassed by Lin Yi's praise.

Lin Yi asked with a smile, "You're not married yet?"

"I don't even have a boyfriend, how can I get married?" Zhong Xiaoqin pouted.

"Hmm, no rush, take your time," Lin Yi said. "It's better to be single than to marry a bad person; at least it's peaceful."

"Yeah, you think so too? It's just that my parents keep urging me, and when they do, I get a little anxious." Zhong Xiaoqin said in surprise, "When I get anxious, I get flustered and lose my way."

Zhong Xiaoqin is like that; she doesn't have much of her own ideas in life, but she's easygoing and has no bad intentions.

She just wanted to live a simple life.

"That's easy. If your aunt wants you to go on another blind date in the future, just tell me and I'll go check it out for you," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Is that okay?" Zhong Xiaoqin asked.

"Of course, I'm the kind of person who likes to help others," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?" Zhong Xiaoqin said.

"It's no trouble at all, just a small matter, what's the big deal?" Lin Yi said.

“Okay, it’s settled then, you can’t lie to me,” Zhong Xiaoqin said.

"Don't worry, this is a piece of cake," Lin Yi said.

“Every time I go there, I don’t dare to look at people. My mom tells me what the man is like,” Zhong Xiaoqin said shyly.

"Really? I didn't realize you were so shy," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"I... I don't know either, I'm just not familiar with it, I'm sorry." Zhong Xiaoqin said, her face turning red again.

"Don't be afraid, I'll go with you next time and give you my advice on the spot," Lin Yi said with a smile.

Actually, I don't have any objections; I'm just nitpicking at the boys that Zhong Xiaoqin wants to kiss.

Lin Yi is an expert in this area.

Be willing to help others.

"Mmm." Zhong Xiaoqin was very happy to hear that.

Zhong Xiaoqin thought to herself that with such a capable guy like Lin Yi helping her, she should be able to find a boyfriend soon.

I wonder what her future boyfriend will be like.

Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't help but feel a little expectant.

While driving, Zhong Xiaoqin glanced at Lin Yi in the passenger seat while looking in the rearview mirror.

Zhong Xiaoqin thought to herself, "If only I were as handsome as Lin Yi, and as funny to talk to."

Thinking of this, Zhong Xiaoqin was overjoyed.

We arrived at the Junyue Mansion shopping mall.

Zhong Xiaoqin said, "We've arrived."

"Okay, I'm going now. If you're going on a blind date, remember to call me. I guarantee I'll find you a perfect husband," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Yes, thank you, Lin Yi. You're such a kind person," Zhong Xiaoqin said with a smile.

"Not at all." Lin Yi smiled, feeling a little embarrassed by her praise.

Lin Yi was still thinking about finding fault with the blind date, but Zhong Xiaoqin trusted him so much, would Zhong Xiaoqin be single in the future?

Forget it, if that's really the case, then Lin Yi will compensate her with himself.

After parking her car, Zhong Xiaoqin felt uneasy thinking about her chance encounter with Lin Yi and how she had brought him along.

After a while, Zhong Xiaoqin calmed down.

Zhong Xiaoqin thought for a moment, then took out her phone and called Wang Manni.

At this time, Wang Manni was still asleep.

"Hello?" Wang Manni picked up her phone and asked groggily.

"Nini, I ran into your boyfriend on my way to work. He's so handsome!" Zhong Xiaoqin exclaimed.

"Where... wait, you mean Lin Yi?" Wang Manni sat up abruptly, fully awake.

“Yes,” Zhong Xiaoqin said.

"You ran into him? What did you talk about?" Wang Manni asked.

"We didn't talk much. I told him to thank him and praise him, and before long we arrived at the Junyue Mansion shopping mall," Zhong Xiaoqin said.

“Hmm, that works. By the way, what did Lin Yi say?” Wang Manni asked.

“She said you don’t need to be polite, it was just a casual photo,” Zhong Xiaoqin said.

Wang Manni felt somewhat disappointed after hearing this.

She thought Lin Yi liked her.

Who knew that so much time had passed and Lin Yi still hadn't come to her place, let alone called her.

Did she really think too much?

"Nini, are you still sleeping?" Zhong Xiaoqin asked.

“Yes, there’s still half an hour before work starts,” Wang Manni said with a smile. “I’ve calculated it; the whole journey from my place to the company takes at most 10 minutes.”

“Wow, does that mean I can sleep in late from now on?” Zhong Xiaoqin said happily.

“Yeah, your job is easier than mine. If you want, you can sneak back to sleep during work hours,” Wang Manni said.

"No, let's forget about it then. It would be terrible if the manager found out," Zhong Xiaoqin said.

Wang Manni smiled.

"I'm going to work now, I'll come find you tonight. I brought a change of clothes with me," Zhong Xiaoqin said.

"Ok."

Wang Manni hung up the phone and wanted to sleep a little longer, but she just couldn't fall asleep. The image of a certain person kept flashing through her mind.

She hadn't been in contact with Lin Yi since the day he left; Xiaoqin was the one who told her today.

Is it really that she is overthinking it?

Wang Manni is currently experiencing a great deal of inner turmoil.

She wanted to have something happen with Lin Yi, but she was worried because he had a girlfriend.

How could she do something like that?

She couldn't stop thinking about Lin Yi, and her heart ached. His image kept popping into her mind.

It won't go away!

"Ugh, this is so hard."

Wang Manni cried out and started rolling around on the bed.

……

Shortly after Lin Yi left, he received a phone call saying that President Meng wanted to invite him to meet.

Lin Yi didn't expect that President Meng would get restless so quickly.

Gee tut.

This old fox, he can't sit still anymore?

It seems he knows about the renovation company.

“Okay, since President Meng invited me, of course I have to go. Where?” Lin Yi asked.

The person on the other end gave me their location.
