Accusations of not wanting to marry: The prosecutor pressed him relentlessly.

Jiang Chengyun booked a room for two days and one night.

Each room has its own private open-air hot spring in the courtyard.

They had a buffet dinner, but Yun Qiao barely ate anything, spending all her time serving him, peeling shrimp and crab for him. Chi Mo couldn't stand it anymore, thinking, "Damn it, what kind of airs is she putting on?"

After finishing their meal, everyone returned to their rooms. Feeling bored, Chi Mo grabbed some beer and went to Mu Wangbei's courtyard to sit, drink, and chat.

"What exactly is Chengyun planning? Yun Qiao just said one wrong thing and he's been giving her the cold shoulder all afternoon. He's so spoiled. He even broke her hand while she was eating."

Mu Wangbei glanced at his phone. It was 8:20 PM, and there were still no messages. He asked absentmindedly, "What did you just say?"

Chi Mo: ...

Do you know how many times you checked your phone today? Who were you waiting for a call from?

"no."

Chi Mo scoffed: "Go ahead and pretend. Are you serious this time? I'm not usually one for the strange, but if you're like this, I'd really like to meet this Miss Fang. How come someone as composed as you is so captivated that you have to check your phone every few minutes?"

"I take everything very seriously."

Just like Mu Wangbei, you can never gossip or brag about anything. Chi Mo glanced at him and said awkwardly, "Tsk, why are you always so serious? Doesn't your girlfriend find you boring?"

"She didn't say that."

Chi Mo asked curiously, "How did you two meet?"

"I mistook someone else for me on a blind date."

This immediately amused Chi Mo: "Prosecutor Mu, how did your director praise you again? 'Strict logic, meticulous attention to detail.'" He squinted at Mu Wangbei, teasingly adding, "You actually fell for this kind of tired old trick?"

Mu Wangbei took a sip of beer: "I mistook you for someone else."

Chi Mo: ...

We can't talk today.

Suddenly, a very faint, indescribable, ambiguous sound seemed to come from next door. Chi Mo, a graduate of a military academy, and Mu Wangbei, who had also received specialized training since childhood, both had excellent hearing and their senses were sharp, and they both paused for a moment.

Realizing that Jiang Chengyun's house was right next to Mu Wangbei's, and that the two shared a wall in their small courtyard, Chi Mo looked at the tiny pond by the wall and whispered, "Damn Jiang Chengyun, he's always doing all this fancy stuff. Are they doing it right now in the courtyard?"

"Don't gossip about other people's private affairs." That would be particularly disrespectful to Yun Qiao. Mu Wangbei glanced at him, then got up to go into the room.

Chi Mo followed behind him: "Aren't you a grown man? Why are your ears turning red?"

Mu Wangbei ignored him and subconsciously glanced at his phone again. Just then, a WeChat message came in. He picked it up and smiled. It was a message from Fang Youxi.

【My dear Prosecutor Mu, let's make an appointment tomorrow. I have a small gift for you.】

Mu Wangbei immediately made a phone call: "You're home?"

"Just got home, how about you?"

"I'm at a hot spring resort. The hot springs here are really nice. Do you want to come? I'll come pick you up."

"Hot spring, is it far?" Fang Youxi opened the door and went inside. If it weren't for the uneven distribution, she wouldn't have been waiting until now. Tang Ze kept nagging on the way back, and she just remembered that she should prepare one for Mu Wangbei as well. After all, Lu Yanli had taken a keychain an hour ago, and Mu Wangbei was her boyfriend.

"It's not far, shall I come pick you up?"

Chi Mo thought to himself, "There's no address at all. Is this my girlfriend's phone number? It'll take three hours round trip, and she'll be there late at night by the time she picks me up. It's not far, is it? What's all this fuss about?"

Fang Youxi didn't want to move anymore: "Tomorrow, let's have dinner together tomorrow."

After exchanging a few words, Mu Wangbei hung up the phone and went back inside to find his car keys: "I'm going back. Tell Chengyun later."

Chi Mo looked completely bewildered: "Didn't you drink? Where did you go?"

Mu Wangbei then remembered that he had been drinking and couldn't drive. He thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll call a designated driver to go back."

"Are you coming or not? Are you leaving me here all alone? Weren't you supposed to be welcoming me?"

"I'm not coming. You should get some rest." Mu Wangbei took his phone and car keys and left.

Left standing there alone, Chi Mo muttered, "Holy crap, what kind of mess is this?"

It would take him more than an hour to get back to the city and then to the Platinum Residences, even without traffic. But he didn't want to wait until tomorrow. He had been distracted all day, constantly thinking about her. He had to see her tonight.

After taking a shower, Fang Youxi went to the dressing room to find the gifts for Mu Wangbei, and also to make up for Tang Ze's gift.

In the afternoon, she received a work call and went to the guest room to reply to an email. When she came out, she saw that Song Jin and Lu Yanli were not there, so she thought she should quickly distribute the gifts she had brought.

Last time I bought a bag from Hermes, I also bought a bunch of other items, so I picked out some small things for my family and did them a favor.

Small sums don't go out, big sums don't come in. This trick has always worked on Elder Tang. Who knows if this little thing will bring her even greater benefits in the future? After all, the father-daughter relationship is mostly maintained by money.

Fang Youxi picked out a pair of leather gloves for the old man, a cashmere sweater for Elder Tang, a pair of cufflinks for Tang Yi, which matched his elite persona, and a tie with a very understated yet flamboyant color for Tang Ze.

As soon as the gifts were distributed, Tang Ze lost his temper.

He was also a regular Hermes customer. Of the four items that were supposed to be included in the purchase, his was the least valuable. Fang Youxi spent over 800,000 yuan in one order and then extorted 400,000 yuan from him. In the end, all he got was a tie.

"Why is it that the older brother's cufflinks? How much did his pair cost?"

Fang Youxi: "It seems to be over 6000."

"How much is Dad's cashmere sweater?"

"A little over 2"

"Where are Grandpa's gloves?"

Fang Youxi nodded: "Over 8000."

Tang Ze asked fiercely, "What about mine?"

"3400".

Tang Ze: ...

Just then, Lu Yanli came in. He saw a pair of orange boxes and bags. Weren't these the ones she had brought with her? He thought she had just come from shopping, but it turned out they were gifts she had picked out for her family.

"What nice things did Tangtang buy? Let me see!"

Now she doesn't call him Lawyer Fang anymore, but listens to the old man and calls him Tangtang directly.

Fang Youxi then realized that Lu Yanli hadn't left at all; it was Song Jinye who had left and was making a phone call outside.

Tang Ze persisted: "This is too cheap, I want to trade with my older brother."

Tang Yi took the cufflinks and put them in his pocket: "Who wants to trade with you? I have things to do at the company, I'm leaving now."

The old man and Tang Zhang silently took their gifts and walked away.

Lu Yanli leaned closer: "Did you see anyone else get a share? Did I get one?"

Fang Youxi was at her wit's end. Seeing a silver keychain hanging on her bag as a charm, she casually took it off: "This is all I have. Do you want it?"

Lu Yanli was genuinely amused and exasperated: "Don't you have any sincerity at all? Do you think I need a keychain from you?"

He set his sights on Tang Ze's tie; he liked the color scheme.

Fang Youxi scoffed, complaining that even beggars complain about food spoiling: "Fine, don't take it."

"I want it." Lu Yanli snatched it away and then glanced at Tang Ze's tie.

Tang Ze realized the danger and immediately took off his tie: "This one will do. But you can get me another expensive one. At least give me some expensive accessories. Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?"

After all, Lu Yanli's looks even more ridiculous; who would want that idiot?

And so, over such a trivial matter, Tang Ze nagged her all the way back.

But Tang Ze never expected that the keychain cost over 7000 yuan, enough to buy two ties.

It's fortunate that Brother Jin left early, otherwise she wouldn't even have lost her keychain.

Fang Youxi rummaged through the pile of goods, but it seemed there wasn't anything good left.

She even bought four plates; I should have bought an extra tie.

The doorbell rang. I looked at the clock and it was almost eleven o'clock. Who could it be at this hour?

Fang Youxi looked through the peephole and saw that it was Mu Wangbei.

Why is he here at this time? It wasn't supposed to be tomorrow.

Mu Wangbei hadn't thought much before coming; he just wanted to see her. But when he opened the door and saw Fang Youxi, he realized how impulsive he had been. He hadn't stayed at the nice hot spring hotel and had instead hired a driver to drive over 80 kilometers to get here, and he would most likely be kicked out soon.

Fang Youxi, wearing pajamas, looked at him with a bewildered expression: "Why are you here at this hour?"

Mu Wangbei hugged her and said, "I suddenly missed you, so I came over."

Fang Youxi smelled a faint scent of alcohol on him and looked up to ask, "You've been drinking? Did you come from the hot spring hotel?"

"Yes, I had a designated driver bring me here. The car is parked downstairs. If you kick me out later, I'll have to take a taxi back."

Fang Youxi: ...

Is this an attempt to play the victim and gain sympathy?

When did Prosecutor Mu learn this trick?

She couldn't help but laugh: "You knew I'd kick you out, yet you still came? You miss me that much, huh?"

Mu Wangbei lowered his head and kissed her, then said in a hoarse voice, "So, could you please not kick me out tonight? I can sleep on the sofa."

He really didn't want to be a stray dog ​​again on this cold night.
