CHAPTER 1727: CHAPTER 1728: I WAS AFRAID YOU WOULDN’T COME

"Wait a minute." You hurriedly called out to Yao Shuilan. She was startled when she saw how early you got up, and the water purifier in her hand fell to the ground.

Yao Shuilan still did not dare to meet your gaze, keeping her head slightly lowered, standing there motionless.

Seeing her like this softened your heart.

Actually, Yao Shuilan has quite a good appearance, just that she is not good at dressing up.

You walked up to Yao Shuilan and asked, "Why are you carrying this thing around to sell again? You’re running around all day, how much money can you make?"

Yao Shuilan lowered her head, not speaking.

You touched your head and said, "As the saying goes, ’Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.’ How about this, I’ll take you to meet someone and see if they can help."

Saying this, you went into the room and quickly came out wearing a very casual outfit, holding the mobile phone you bought yesterday. You then dialed Cen Nong’s private phone. The call was answered quickly, and a charming voice came through: "Hello."

"Sister Jun, it’s me."

Upon hearing your voice, Cen Nong’s formerly lazy voice immediately turned into laughter: "I thought you were going to eat and run, never to bother with me again."

"My dear elder sister, don’t mock me. I still don’t know how to get over this hurdle."

You’ve noticed that ever since that incident with Cen Nong, her personality has become more open, further revealing the beauty and charm of a mature woman.

"You’ve already had your fill, so could you really spit it out intact?"

"I know it’s impossible, just that I didn’t know how to face it initially."

Cen Nong was silent for a moment then asked, "Where are you now?"

"Found a random place, now I’m afraid to go home."

"Do you want to keep avoiding forever?" Cen Nong sighed lightly. This sigh made you feel slightly tingly.

"I know I can’t avoid it, just at the moment I don’t know how to face it, and tomorrow I’ve got a new assignment to carry out, so I can’t return to Yuhang anytime soon."

Upon hearing this, Cen Nong immediately said, "Where are you? I’ll come meet you."

"Let me come find you instead, pick a place, and I’d like to ask for a small favor."

"I don’t like how that sounds; it’s like our relationship has reverted back to pre-liberation." Cen Nong’s voice sounded slightly resentful, making your heart grow even more conflicted.

"Alright, stop teasing you, come to my villa in the southwest then."

"Okay, while I’m at it, I’ll return your car to you."

Saying this, you hung up the phone and walked to Yao Shuilan: "Miss Yao, no, Shuilan, from now on, why don’t you call me brother, and I’ll take you as my sister, alright?"

Yao Shuilan paused for a bit, then nodded.

"Ah, that’s good, now Brother can help his sister, makes things easier." Saying this, you eye Yao Shuilan up and down again, shaking your head, "This outfit won’t do, hmm, let me take you to buy a new one."

Yao Shuilan shook her head, about to speak when you grabbed her hand with a smile and said, "No need to be polite with your Brother!"

You first took a taxi with Yao Shuilan to a nearby parking lot, retrieved Cen Nong’s Z4, then forced Yao Shuilan into the passenger seat, and took her to a high-end women’s clothing store. When the attendant brought Yao Shuilan out of the changing room, you were quite impressed and immediately tipped the shopping attendant two hundred yuan.

After that, you took Yao Shuilan along with you to Cen Nong’s villa.

On the way, Yao Shuilan remained silent, her hands clasped together, looking a bit tense.

You could see Yao Shuilan’s unease at a glance, and with a smile, you asked, "Young lady, are you thinking that your Brother was being wasteful?"

"Yes," Yao Shuilan nodded, "it’s too expensive."

"Silly girl, it might be expensive for others, but for you, it’s not really that way."

Yao Shuilan pursed her red lips, gave you a furtive glance, then lowered her head, not speaking.

"The person you’re going to meet shortly is a good friend of mine; Brother is leaving tomorrow, so from now on, let her help take care of you."

"No need, I can take care of myself," Yao Shuilan whispered softly.

"Silly girl, living alone in this city, how hard is that? Brother can’t bear to see you suffer. Besides, it’s just a word from her, and you shouldn’t be formal with her, just treat her like family."

Yao Shuilan nodded.

Upon arriving at Cen Nong’s door, you found she’d been waiting for some time, wearing a lavish robe that wrapped her near-perfect figure.

Seeing you bringing along a pretty girl she hadn’t met, Cen Nong smiled slightly.

This smile seemed capable of enchanting your heart.

Steeling your heart, you suddenly realized that after that incident, whether psychologically or physically, you lost some resistance to women, especially Cen Nong, as she had had intimate contact with you, forging a deeper bond between you two.

"It’s so cold outside. What if you catch a cold standing here?"

You immediately chastised Cen Nong. Hearing this, Cen Nong still gave off a smile that could sway one’s heart: "I was afraid you wouldn’t come."

"A promise once made must be fulfilled." Saying this, you pulled Cen Nong closer by the waist, positioned her correctly, and gently pushed her inside.

Cen Nong’s villa wasn’t large but was very warm compared to the single-digit temperature outside, similar to spring blossoming inside.

Yao Shuilan followed you in, looking very restrained.

Sitting together with Cen Nong, you beckoned to Yao Shuilan: "Shuilan, don’t be restrained, sit down first."

Yao Shuilan nodded but still stood by you, not daring to sit.

Cen Nong smiled and pulled Yao Shuilan’s hand, letting her sit beside her, then asked, "Is your name Shuilan?"

"Yes, good day, CEO Cen, my surname is Yao, first name Shuilan."

"A very beautiful name." Cen Nong slightly smiled and turned towards you, "Mu Yun, if I’m not mistaken, you want me to help Shuilan a little, is that right?"

You nodded, knowing Cen Nong’s superpowers were gradually awakening; some things couldn’t be kept from her.

"First, tell me about your relationship with Shuilan."

"If I said that we’re just casual friends, you wouldn’t believe it. Let’s say she’s like a sister I recognized."

"That straightforward?" Cen Nong blinked, her long eyelashes almost drawing one’s heart.

"What else could it be?" You responded a bit irritably.

"Alright, alright, I believe you, no need to be upset."

Cen Nong gently smiled, and her alluring face could elevate one’s adrenaline instantly. She stroked her fallen locks and continued, "However, I’ve left the group, and the group is undergoing restructuring; it’s not suitable to bring in newcomers now."

"Are there other positions? Shuilan’s family situation isn’t good." You shared some information you knew with Cen Nong.

Hearing this, Cen Nong fell silent, she took Yao Shuilan’s slender hand, covering it gently with her right hand, and sighed softly.

"Sis, if it’s really difficult, should I...?"

"What are you talking about?" Cen Nong seemed a bit unhappy, glared at you, but disregarded you, instead asking Yao Shuilan, "Shuilan, starting today, you’ve gained not only an unreliable brother but also me as a sister. From now on, follow me, I plan to start a chain bakery soon, you can first learn some management with me, the monthly salary will be ten thousand."

"I..."
