The knock on the door interrupted Su Yang's thoughts. He came back to his senses, quickly composed himself, and walked toward the door. "Coming, coming."
Clack—
The door opened.
As soon as it opened, a faint fragrance drifted into Su Yang's nose.
He took a closer look and saw a woman in her late twenties standing at the door. She had fair skin and a sexy figure.
She had an oval face, large eyes, delicate features, and dark red lipstick on her lips. Her long, wavy hair fell down her back, and she wore a sexy black low-cut dress. Her breasts rose prominently, making her especially eye-catching.
"Ah! Pervert!"
The beauty was just about to greet him when she saw Su Yang standing there bare-chested. She immediately let out a sharp scream.
Only then did Su Yang realize that he was still not wearing any clothes.
He scratched his head and said with a smile, "Sorry, Sister Zhao. I was exercising just now and forgot to put my clothes on."
The beauty called Sister Zhao was none other than Su Yang's landlady. Her name was Zhao Mengrou.
At this moment, Zhao Mengrou covered her eyes with both hands, leaving a tiny gap between her fingers. She coquettishly scolded, "Then hurry up and put some on!"
"Oh, oh, okay. Right away."
Su Yang turned around, went inside, picked up his T-shirt, and quickly put it on.
Only then did Zhao Mengrou lower her hands, her face flushed. When she looked at Su Yang again, an astonished expression immediately appeared on her face. "You... did you get plastic surgery?"
"Huh?" Su Yang froze.
Thinking of the changes his body had undergone, he smiled and said, "No. Why would a grown man like me get plastic surgery? Haven't I always looked like this?"
"How is that possible? When I saw you last month, you didn't look like this!"
Su Yang grinned. "Hehe, you were too busy to look at me carefully before. I've actually always been quite handsome."
Zhao Mengrou rolled her eyes. Still slightly flushed, she smiled and said, "So narcissistic! And your figure... when did it become this good, too?"
Su Yang secretly chuckled when he heard that.
Don't think I didn't notice you secretly peeking through the gap between your fingers when you covered your eyes just now.
On the surface, however, he calmly replied, "You're too kind, Sister Zhao. I've just been exercising lately. A man ought to be a little more vigorous. By the way, why did you come over specifically today?"
"Oh, right. I came to tell you something."
"Come in and tell me." Su Yang ushered Zhao Mengrou into the room.
After pouring Zhao Mengrou a glass of water, the two of them sat down on the sofa.
As soon as Zhao Mengrou sat down, she noticed the Porsche key lying on the table in front of her.
She looked at Su Yang in confusion. "Is this your car key?"
"Oh, I bought the car earlier. It only arrived today. Why?"
Zhao Mengrou pondered for two seconds before asking, "You can afford a Porsche, so why are you still renting a place from me? Don't tell me you're a hidden rich second-generation heir who came out to experience life?"
Su Yang rolled his eyes and made up a story. "No, what kind of rich second-generation heir am I? I had some special circumstances before. It's hard to explain in just a few words. I'll tell you if I get the chance later."
"Actually, you came at the perfect time. I was just thinking of messaging you to say that I planned to move out after renting for these last few days."
"You're not renting anymore?" Zhao Mengrou asked.
"Mhm. I've more or less settled down in Lin City, so I'm planning to look at houses over the next few days."
"Did you suddenly get rich overnight? First you bought a car, and now you're buying a house." Zhao Mengrou asked in surprise.
"No. I made a little money doing business before, so I thought I'd improve my quality of life." Su Yang continued spinning his story with a grin.
"Alright." Zhao Mengrou said it aloud, but she did not believe him at all.
After all, she was nearly thirty, and her family conditions were quite good. She had three or four apartments rented out in Haicheng.
Other than this apartment, which was relatively old, the rest were high-rise apartments in good locations and pleasant surroundings.
They were not luxury homes, but she could collect more than twenty thousand yuan in rent every month. Her lifestyle was still quite comfortable.
She had met plenty of rich people, but this was the first time she had seen someone drive a Porsche while renting a small one-bedroom apartment from her.
"Did you need something from me, Sister Zhao?"
Su Yang stared intently at Zhao Mengrou.
After obtaining Body Management Master, Su Yang's eyes seemed to possess a unique charm of their own. His gaze made Zhao Mengrou blush and her heart race, and for a moment, she even forgot why she had come.
"Um, right. I came to talk to you about the rent, but since you're not planning to keep renting, there's no need to discuss it."
After meeting Su Yang's eyes for a second, Zhao Mengrou's gaze drifted away. She lowered her head and reached up to fiddle with the bangs hanging over her chest.
Su Yang smiled. Suddenly, he thought of something. "Oh, right. How could I forget about the scanning function?"
System, scan Zhao Mengrou.
Ding! Scanning target detected
Scanning
Zhao Mengrou, age: 28
Height: 165 cm
Weight: 53 kg
Appearance: 86
Figure: 88
Number of relationships: 2, currently single
Zhao Mengrou has met the system's scoring standards. The host may choose whether to bind a favorability relationship with this person.
As the system spoke, a virtual screen appeared before Su Yang's eyes. Only he could see it.
It clearly displayed Zhao Mengrou's basic information.
Bind.
Su Yang replied inwardly without hesitation.
Zhao Mengrou's looks and figure were both top-notch. If he did not bind such a great opportunity, what was he waiting for?
If he insisted on binding only beauties with scores above ninety, who knew how long he would have to wait?
Besides, how many top-notch beauties were there in real life?
If he had to find a flaw in Zhao Mengrou, it would be that she was a few years older than him.
But Su Yang did not care about age at all. Let alone being four years older—even if she were ten years older, he could accept it as long as she looked good. Besides, he never intended to develop a romantic relationship with Zhao Mengrou. He simply coveted her body.
As the saying went, "When young, you don't know the charm of an older sister, and you mistake a younger girl for a treasure."
Slightly older women were quite good in many ways, and they had more experience in every aspect.
Ding! Binding successful.
Zhao Mengrou's favorability toward the host: 16 (Acquaintance)
The system's voice abruptly fell silent.
For a while, neither of them knew what to say, and the air suddenly grew quiet.
Zhao Mengrou continued lowering her head and deliberately fiddling with her hair.
Because of the apartment's layout, the living room was not large, and the sofa was relatively small.
The two of them were only fifty or sixty centimeters apart. The scent of perfume emanating from Zhao Mengrou lingered around Su Yang.
The atmosphere became somewhat subtle.
Su Yang narrowed his eyes, and before he knew it, his gaze drifted toward Zhao Mengrou's chest.
He swallowed, and an uncontrollable restlessness stirred within him.
Any normal man would take a couple of extra glances in this situation, let alone when the woman before him was such a beauty.
However, Su Yang was not some perverted lecher. He could still control his actions with reason.
He shook his head, forcing himself to remain clear-headed.
If he lost control at a time like this, he could end up behind bars.
There was no need to sacrifice the rest of his wonderful life for a moment of pleasure. This sort of thing required mutual consent. He could wait until her favorability increased.
To break the awkward atmosphere, Su Yang suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked, "By the way, Sister Zhao, do you have any friends who sell houses?"
"Huh?" Zhao Mengrou was startled. She raised her head and looked at Su Yang. At some point, her face had turned red again.
"What did you say?"
"I asked whether you have any friends who sell houses. You have plenty of friends, so I thought I'd ask."
"Oh, that. You know, I really do have one." As she spoke, Zhao Mengrou gently exhaled a fragrant breath.
"That's why you're Sister Zhao. Having lots of friends is great. I used to work in this field, but I basically had no contact with any of the clients. I'm planning to look at houses over the next couple of days. Could you ask your friend for me if you have time?"
"Asking won't be a problem, but are you sure you want me to ask? The houses my friend sells aren't cheap."
Su Yang thought for a moment. "Which development?"
Zhao Mengrou picked up the water on the table, took a sip, and smiled faintly. "Senhai Manor."
"Sen... Senhai Manor? Wow, isn't that my favorite development? But it is a little expensive."
Su Yang had been very familiar with all the developments in Haicheng when he worked in real-estate design. However, because he had worked overtime every day, he had barely interacted with any of the clients.
Although Senhai Manor was not Haicheng's most top-tier development, it was still quite good. To ordinary people, it was an unattainable place.
The development mainly sold high-rise apartments and large flats. The high-rises averaged twenty thousand yuan per square meter, while the large flats ranged from a minimum of twenty thousand to a maximum of forty-five thousand yuan per square meter.
That was not cheap even for Haicheng, a new first-tier city. Buying a four-to-five-hundred-square-meter large flat would casually cost more than ten million yuan.
Although Su Yang could not currently produce that much money, if he wanted to buy one, he could still afford a smaller, two-to-three-hundred-square-meter unit.
Senhai Manor had an excellent environment and location. It was right beside the Tianxing River, which ran through Haicheng, making it a prime river-view development in the city.
The facilities around the development were also comprehensive. There were subways, shopping malls, large supermarkets, schools, and everything else one could need. It was extremely convenient.
Su Yang had often fantasized about buying a home there one day, but back then, it had only been a fantasy.
Now, however, he had a system. And what was the system's purpose?
To let him enjoy life. Of course he should buy a place he liked. And never mind Haicheng—even buying houses in those several super first-tier cities was only a matter of time for him.
After thinking it over, Su Yang looked at Zhao Mengrou. "I'm only interested in Senhai Manor. When you have time, Sister Zhao, could you ask your friend for me?"
Zhao Mengrou looked at Su Yang with an expression of surprise and astonishment, along with a trace of barely perceptible shyness.
"You really plan to buy a place in Senhai Manor? Any random unit there costs several million yuan, and the most expensive ones cost one or two hundred million."
Su Yang smiled confidently. "I know. I'll take a look first. If I find a suitable layout, I'll buy it."
