It only takes a little over ten minutes to drive from the villa to the foot of the mountain via the ring road. The transportation is convenient. There is a high-end private hospital at the foot of Xiangshan, as well as other infrastructure. Because of its beautiful environment and not too far from the city center, it has attracted many wealthy people to settle here.
After the first three months, although Xi Yan agreed to let him go out, he still required him to report to him and bring a driver and bodyguards.
Bai Le knew he was worried about him, so he didn't object.
Mu Mu was riding her little rocking horse, swaying back and forth, while Bai Le idly scrolled through his phone, sending messages nonstop in the group chat.
"Lele, come out and play!"
Bai Le replied, "No bars, no karaoke, no racing."
"Of course, we've heard about it. Don't worry, Lele, even if you went to those places first, we wouldn't dare take you."
"Where to?"
You'll find out when you come out.
Is this a place Mu Mu can go?
"Certainly."
Bai Le was relieved and obediently relayed what he had said to Xi Yan. Xi Yan replied almost instantly, only reminding him to "keep your phone on at all times," and said nothing more.
Bai Le knew he had agreed, and happily picked up Mu Mu, kissed him, and then changed his clothes.
He changed Mu Mu into beige overalls, put a hat on him, and then had the driver take him to the agreed location.
The agreed meeting place was not in the city center, but at a riding stable in the eastern suburbs. Bai Le thought they were going to let him ride a horse, and his lips twitched as he immediately turned to leave.
Then someone stopped him, and Xiaozhouzi said, "No, no, there's a lake next to the horse farm, we're fishing there."
"A lake? You should have said so earlier! There's one right behind my house."
Upon hearing this, Xiaozhouzi looked at Wu Hua with a bitter expression and said, "Listen to this, is this something a human being would say?"
Wu Hua grinned and said, "Fourth Master is keeping a mistress in a golden house."
Bai Le was now used to their teasing. He glanced at the female companions not far away, who were probably brought by Xiaozhouzi and his group.
What are you doing?
Xiaozhouzi said with a long face, "Don't even mention you, my brother won't let me go to those places either, not even karaoke. Now no club will let me in, I'm about to suffocate. Then my brother told me to go fishing to calm down."
"Oh, I see," Bai Le suddenly realized, and that's why he suddenly wanted to go fishing.
"What's the deal with those women?" Bai Le raised his chin.
"It's embarrassing to come here without a woman by your side," Xiaozhouzi said seriously.
"What are you talking about? You're just trying to come up with an excuse, aren't you?" Bai Le said, both amused and exasperated.
Mu Mu, who had been silent at Bai Le's feet, suddenly tugged at Bai Le's trouser leg.
"What's wrong?"
Mu Mu said in her childish voice, "I want to play."
"You can play in a little while. This uncle will play with you in a bit." Bai Le said, handing Mu Mu to Wu Hua.
Sure enough, Wu Hua stiffly accepted it, and the way he held it was very awkward.
"Haha." Bai Le pointed at him and laughed mercilessly.
Once inside, Bai Le discovered that the lake was quite large, but not as big as the one in his backyard, since one was an artificial lake and the other was naturally formed.
The female companions all looked very young and each had someone with them, but Wu Hua was the only one without any companions; instead, he was talking to Bai Le.
After being held by Wu Hua for a while, Mu Mu was held by Xiaozhouzi the whole time. The two of them seemed to get along very well. Mu Mu seemed to like him a lot, and soon she wrapped her arms around his neck and wouldn't let go.
"Is this your son?" His female companion was really curious and, after hesitating for a long time, finally asked.
They were all brought here by these rich young men. Each of them had a different profession, including internet celebrities, obscure stars, and even college students. But they all had one thing in common: they wanted to climb the social ladder by marrying these men. If they were chosen, even just for a relationship, they would never have to worry about food or drink.
Xiaozhouzi chuckled, "This is my godson."
Upon hearing this, Bai Le rolled his eyes; at this point, he was considered a godson.
"Oh, I see. I knew you were too young for someone who'd be married and had children."
Xiaozhouzi chuckled again, about to speak, but was stopped by Bai Le's cold glare and obediently shut his mouth.
Bai Le knew without even thinking that he was about to make fun of him again.
The woman next to Xiaozhouzi seemed to have run out of things to talk about and was a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and texted her friends.
"I've met a bunch of weird rich kids."
"This is the first time I've ever encountered such a 'sugar daddy'—sending someone to accompany him, not for singing and drinking, not for sex, but to go fishing!"
The woman felt increasingly speechless. She was decked out in designer brands from head to toe, and she had even applied perfume before coming out to hook up with a rich second-generation heir. Now, these people were telling her she was out fishing.
"They all seem quite wealthy, but one of them looks different; he's with a male companion."
The girl on the other end quickly replied, "How do you look?"
Which one are you referring to?
"Two."
The woman glanced up and said sourly, "The man looks pretty fierce, but the young man he brought is quite handsome, and that man treats him well too."
Because Bai Le's facial features stood out so much among the group of rough men, and because Mu Mu was being carried by Xiaozhouzi, when they saw Bai Le, they saw him with Wu Hua, so she misunderstood him and thought he was one of her colleagues.
Bai Le and Wu Hua were fishing while talking, and his bucket already had quite a few small fish.
Bai Le took more photos and then sent them to Xi Yan.
The reply came quickly, "Where are you?"
Bai Le returned to the location.
