Mù Qiānxún hadn't turned her phone on for an entire week since she arrived in Imperial City. When she finally did, she didn't get a call from her mom, but from that guy instead.
Checking the time, it was eleven o'clock.
Why would he be calling her this late? Was it because Xin Xianglian had said something, and he was calling to burst her fantasy bubble?
And what fantasy was that?
That she was entertaining the idea of calling him daddy or expecting him to give her money?
Hmm...She never fantasized about such things!
She left her phone on the bedside table, completely ignoring the ringing.
Ou Zun emerged from the bathroom, a cloud of steam billowing out after him in an alluring haze. He was tall and broad-chested, his skin a healthy tone. His abdomen was neatly gridded with eight-pack abs, with only a towel wrapped around his lower body, teasing as he dries his wet hair.
He glanced at her on the bed, engrossed in her game.
"Your phone is ringing."
"I know, I don't want to answer it."
"Who is it?"
He stretched out his arm to reach it, inadvertently pressing the answer button, "Hello."
Mù Qiānxún threw her tablet in shock, "How could you answer someone else's phone!"
Ou Zun didn't seem to think that was outrageous at all, asserting instead, "You are my woman; why can't I answer your phone? Are you afraid I'll find out about your boy toy?"
Staring at him, Mù Qiānxún climbed out of bed and walked to the balcony, "You're impossible!"
Once on the balcony, she held her phone to her ear.
"What is it?"
She had no contact details saved for him, but this show-off had four digits - all 5s - as his phone number suffix.
Xin Liao's voice came through the handset, cool and distant, "Who was that man just now?"
"You tell me?"
"You're living with a man?!"
It was already after eleven, and from what he heard, there was no question the two of them were living together.
Mù Qiānxún frowned, "Are you overstepping your bounds much? If there's nothing important, I am hanging up. Don't call me again!"
"Qianxun, wait a second." Xin Liao softened his tone, remembering he had something to say.
"Spit it out fast, and cut the crap!"
"I know you're in Imperial City now. Let's have lunch tomorrow. I'll take you out for a meal."
"Hold on!" Mù Qiānxún quickly clutched the phone, then turned around to ask the person in the room, "Did you tell your mom about proposing to the Xin family?"
Reclining on the bed, shirtless and hair still wet, Ou Zun smirked seductively, "Yes, the Xin family has probably received the news by now."
Mù Qiānxún glared at him before returning to the balcony, "Fine, tell me where to meet. I'll head there directly."
"Mei's Gourmet Hall."
Mù Qiānxún let out a cold laugh. It seemed her status as Ou Zun's fiancée was indeed very handy. Xin Liao was willing to treat her to a meal at Mei's Gourmet Hall?
He was very wealthy, yet he was always stingy when it came to his daughter. There were several dishes at Mei's Gourmet Hall that cost over ten thousand. Xin Liao was being so kind; how could she possibly refuse?
After ending the call and returning to the room, she tossed her phone randomly and picked up her tablet to resume her unfinished game.
Ou Zun was also playing a game on the side.
He had been shielding her, keeping her inactive avatar safe in the game while she was on the call - but now, with her return, he took this opportunity to flex his gaming muscles and go on a killing spree!
