chapter-56 Bibi Dong panics
"Uh… I'm quite happy with my current apartment, and I never said I wanted to share it!" Lin Chen said with an awkward smile.
Upon hearing this, Ai Tutu said excitedly, "Hmph, there are plenty of people who want to share an apartment with us, and you're still unwilling? I'm telling you, not only will you share an apartment with us, but you'll also pay half the rent!"
Facing the domineering Ai Tutu, Lin Chen was stunned. Whether to share an apartment or not was secondary; the main thing was what he had done to make Ai Tutu misunderstand and treat him like a simp?
"Tutu…"
Even Mu Nujiao felt uncomfortable with Ai Tutu's attitude.
Ai Tutu snorted and pouted, and Mu Nujiao had no way to deal with such an Ai Tutu.
Lin Chen glanced indifferently at Ai Tutu, then turned his gaze to Mu Nujiao, his eyes carrying a hint of inquiry.
Ai Tutu came from a privileged background with strong connections, and only such a family could raise someone with Ai Tutu's personality, like an overgrown child!
Understanding Ai Tutu's personality, he naturally wouldn't get angry, but he wanted to know Mu Nujiao's true feelings even more.
Mu Nujiao looked a bit helpless, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "How about this, Lin Chen, the rent for two rooms shouldn't be cheap. If you're willing, we'll share the apartment, and you pay half the rent. But from now on, besides your own room, all the cleaning in the common areas will be handled by me and Tutu. Also, I'll cook, and I'll cover your food expenses! How does that sound?"
A blush appeared on Mu Nujiao's pretty face, as if saying these words required great courage.
Lin Chen smiled slightly. Mu Nujiao's proposal was clearly very tempting; not only would he not have to clean, but he would also get free meals. More importantly, it was Mu Nujiao's attitude. Of course, it wasn't about how good her attitude was, but rather that it represented a certain signal.
Mu Nujiao asking Lin Chen to find an apartment was one signal, and inviting him to share an apartment with her was also a signal.
Multiple signals combined often mark the beautiful beginning of a relationship.
Lin Chen was definitely not a simp, but he couldn't resist beautiful women, especially such an independent, self-reliant, gentle, elegant, and exceptionally beautiful woman!
As for the two rooms, Lin Chen certainly wouldn't move out; he wasn't short on that rent. How would they sleep tonight? Wasn't that a very interesting topic?
"Alright, then I wish us a pleasant cohabitation!" Lin Chen said with a smile.
Noticing Lin Chen's choice of words, the blush on Mu Nujiao's face deepened, and she shyly glared at Lin Chen!
Ai Tutu, beside them, watched the two with a playful smile, clearly seeing that they were interested in each other.
After a moment of thought, Lin Chen transferred 600,000 to Mu Nujiao via his phone and said, "This is for a year's rent!"
Mu Nujiao took out her phone, glanced at it, and said in surprise, "You gave too much!"
Lin Chen said cheerfully, "The extra can be considered money for groceries!"
Ai Tutu, seeing that her goal was achieved and a lot of money was saved, said with a giggle, "Hmph, now that's more like a man! You'll be in for a treat from now on; Sister Mu's cooking is absolutely superb!"
Lin Chen didn't bother with her. The three went out to find the landlady, finalized the apartment arrangements, and then Lin Chen bid farewell to the two women.
Watching Lin Chen's retreating back, a smile appeared on Mu Nujiao's face.
"Tsk tsk tsk… You already miss him right after separating?" Ai Tutu teased with a mischievous grin.
Hearing Ai Tutu's teasing, Mu Nujiao said shyly, "Nonsense, don't talk rubbish!"
Ai Tutu rolled her eyes at Mu Nujiao and said, "Hmph, if you like him, you like him, why hide it!"
The summer heat was intense, and cicadas chirped continuously. Lin Chen quickly returned to his small two-room apartment. After entering, he took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator and comfortably leaned back on the sofa to drink it.
"Where are Xue'er and Nana?"
Bibi Dong slowly walked out of the bathroom. Her hair was damp, and a white bath towel was wrapped around her body, indicating she had just showered.
Lin Chen asked, puzzled, "Are they not in their rooms?"
"No, I checked earlier!" Bibi Dong replied.
Lin Chen got up, searched around, and then said, "They probably went out to buy groceries."
Bibi Dong hummed softly, but just then, her bath towel, for some reason, suddenly slipped down.
This sudden scene caused Lin Chen to freeze in place, motionless.
Fair and tender skin, a slender waist that could be held in one hand, not a trace of excess flesh, and long, smooth, slender legs—all these beautiful sights, enough to drive any man wild, appeared on Bibi Dong's body and perfectly combined.
"Ah…"
"Bang…"
Feeling something was wrong, Bibi Dong looked bewildered, immediately noticed Lin Chen's hot, wolf-like gaze, and a scream echoed throughout the room. Bibi Dong immediately ran into the bathroom, slamming the door shut, leaving only the pure white, soft bath towel on the floor.
Lin Chen sat on the sofa, taking several big gulps of water, trying to calm his agitated emotions.
Five minutes later, Bibi Dong walked out of the bathroom again, wearing a white T-shirt and black casual pants, completely covering her beautiful figure.
Bibi Dong came over to Lin Chen, glared fiercely at him, and said, "Remember, you didn't see anything today. Don't let Xue'er and Nana know about today's incident!"
Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, then his lips curled into a slight smile, and he slowly stood up. Lin Chen, who had reached a height of 1.9 meters, and Bibi Dong, who was 1.72 meters, instantly formed a contrast.
Previously, Bibi Dong only needed to look down at Lin Chen, but now her beautiful face was slightly tilted up, forming a stark contrast to before. However, Bibi Dong's expression remained unchanged, still staring intently at Lin Chen, her eyes carrying a hint of threatening implication.
"Today's incident? What happened to us today?"
Lin Chen smiled mischievously, taking large strides to approach Bibi Dong.
"You're asking on purpose!" Bibi Dong said through gritted teeth, her delicate body unconsciously retreating a step.
With one advancing and one retreating, in a moment, Bibi Dong was cornered against the wall.
"What do you want to do?" Bibi Dong asked in a flustered tone.
"Do what?" Lin Chen smiled softly, propping his arm against the wall. His handsome face slowly moved closer to Bibi Dong's.
Sensing Lin Chen's intention, Bibi Dong immediately became flustered and said with resistance, "No, you can't do this, I'm Xue'er's mother!"
"Do what?" Lin Chen chuckled. The two, being so close, could clearly feel each other's breath.
Facing such a Lin Chen, Bibi Dong's heartbeat continuously quickened, and she became even more flustered and frozen in place, not daring to make any superfluous movements. Her beautiful starry eyes, however, remained fixed on Lin Chen.
