Chapter 242: Chapter 242: If left alone, chaos will ensue_1

It was late autumn, unlike Yantai, where it was spring all year round, a cold wind was whipping through Tiandu, causing the skin to tingle.

After a busy day, Mo Shaoyun and Xiao Nan returned home, took off their coats, and sat down on the sofa.

After nearly three months of hectic work, the initial construction of Lingxiao Villa was almost completed, with only the final decoration work remaining. At this pace, it would be completed early next year.

After stretching, Xiao Nan laughed, "Shaoyun, we have to hand it to Buckteeth Zhou, he did a solid job. Such a massive project only took over two months."

Mo Shaoyun nodded, "Well, with the large number of people in the two construction teams working hard, the speed is not too fast. The weather has been good recently, with hardly any suspensions in work. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so quick."

Xiao Nan nodded, turning on the TV.

After a while, she suddenly turned her head and asked, "Shaoyun, Zhang Xian has been away for almost three months, have you missed him?"

Mo Shaoyun said, "Does it help if I miss him? He won’t reciprocate."

Xiao Nan said, "You can’t be sure."

"It’s no use," said Mo Shaoyun. "Zhang Xian is a wild horse. I can’t rein him in."

Xiao Nan said, "So you mean to give up on him? I think your relationship has been slowly improving. Why give up now?"

Mo Shaoyun said, "I don’t know. Let’s take one step at a time."

Xiao Nan gave a bitter smile and didn’t say more.

In her view, Zhang Xian was indeed somewhat fickle, unable to control his heart. Mo Shaoyun, as the top beauty in Yanjing from a renowned family, must have a bit of arrogance and wasn’t likely to compromise.

"Elder Sister Shaoyun, Sister Nan, you’re back!"

Suddenly, Dong Qian, pulling Li Peichi, came running down from upstairs. "I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Mo Shaoyun said, "Tell me the bad news first."

Dong Qian pouted, "Brother Zhang Xian has hooked up with two more beauties."

"Umm..." Mo Shaoyun’s face changed, "What’s the good news?"

Dong Qian said, "Brother Zhang Xian will be home in half an hour."

Mo Shaoyun stood up, "Zhang Xian is coming home? Why didn’t he call me? What does he mean by this?"

Xiao Nan, Li Peichi, and Dong Qian turned to look at Mo Shaoyun with surprise.

"Well..." Mo Shaoyun sat down again, "Sorry, I... I got too excited."

Dong Qian pouted, "Brother Zhang Xian didn’t call me either! Sister Qingqing told me, otherwise I wouldn’t have known Brother Zhang Xian was coming back today."

Xiao Nan slapped her forehead, a look of annoyance on her face.

Zhang Xian already had Dong Qian, Zhu Qing, Fu Meiting, and Mo Shaoyun here in Tiandu, and now he’s gone and attracted two more in Yantai. What was he trying to do? Become a king?

"Hmph, Zhang Xian is only a philandering scoundrel." Li Peichi looked at him with disdain.

Mo Shaoyun stood up with a stern face, "I’m going to take a shower."

Seeing Mo Shaoyun’s displeased face, Dong Qian whispered, "I think Sister Shaoyun is angry again. Brother Zhang Xian is in for a tough time."

"Umm..." Xiao Nan said, "Zhang Xian fears nothing, what can Shaoyun do to him?"

"Right, he’s nothing but a vulgar rogue, so damn malicious." Li Peichi snorted.

Remembering something, she turned to Dong Qian, "Say, Qianqian, your Prince Charming brought back two beauties from outside, aren’t you angry?"

"I... even if I’m angry, it’s no use!" Dong Qian pouted, "Even if I get angry, Brother Zhang Xian won’t listen to me."

Xiao Nan laughingly draped her arm over Dong Qian’s shoulder, "Among all the girls, Qianqian’s temper is the best, she’s the most obedient one. It’s precisely because of this that Brother Zhang dares be so arrogant."

Dong Qian interjected, "No way, Brother Zhang Xian wasn’t spoiled by me. Besides, I’m not even his girlfriend yet, how can I spoil him?"

Xiao Nan asked with a smile, "Qianqian, do you want to be Zhang Xian’s woman?"

Blushing, Dong Qian said, "Yes!"

Xiao Nan erupted into laughter, "Ha, our Qianqian has fallen for him, she’s in her springtime, longing for a man."

Dong Qian, blushing, said, "Ah, Sister Nan, what are you talking about!"

Xiao Nan and Li Peichi doubled over in laughter, completely forgetting their ladylike demeanor, at the sight of Dong Qian’s shy and sweet expression.

Seeing the mood, Dong Qian wished she could disappear into the earth. For some reason, Xiao Nan and Li Peichi loved to tease her. They always made fun of her to the point of embarrassment.

"Ding dong..."

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Dong Qian hesitated momentarily before running to the door and opening it.

Upon seeing the figure outside the door who had been on her mind all day and night, she stood still for a moment before hurling herself at him, "Brother Zhang Xian, you’re finally back!"

"Hehe, Qianqian, have you missed your brother?" Zhang Xian embraced Dong Qian and asked with a grin.

Dong Qian nodded her head vigorously, "Yes, very much."

"Yo, you’re back?" Xiao Nan also came to the door.

Leaning against the wall, Li Peichi glared at Zhang Xian, "You scoundrel, now that you’re back, this house won’t be at peace again, and I won’t have good days anymore."

Outside, Duan Hong and Wen Yulan took a good look at the three women and were astonished. So many beautiful women were living in this villa, each one stunning.

"Elder Sister Hong, Teacher Wen, come on in! It’s cold outside and you’ve not brought many clothes." Zhang Xian introduced them with a smile.

Xiao Nan laughed, "Indeed! Hurry in, the weather here is not as warm as in Yantai, where one could still be wearing a skirt."

Duan Hong and Wen Yulan nodded and entered the house.

Perhaps overwhelmed by the number of strangers, Yueyue clung tightly to Zhang Xian, refusing to stray even a step away.

"What a cute little girl." Spotting Yueyue, Li Peichi was overwhelmed by maternal affection and squatted down to ask, "What’s your name?"

Yueyue was frightened and she quickly hid behind Zhang Xian, just poking her head out.

Zhang Xian rubbed his nose and said, "Li Peichi, could you not get so close? Don’t you realize your appearance is very scary? Yueyue is afraid to come out."

Li Peichi hopped up and angrily accused, "What do you mean, Zhang Xian? Just got back and can’t wait to start fighting with me, is that it?"

Zhang Xian laughed, "I was just telling the truth."

Li Peichi was fuming, "You ... I just get so angry whenever I see you."

When Dong Qian saw that Zhang Xian and Li Peichi started arguing, she hurriedly stepped in and said, "Brother Zhang Xian, Sister Peichi, what are you guys doing? It’s been awhile since we saw each other last, why argue the moment we meet?"

"You think I want to argue with this guy? It’s all because he’s deliberately provoking me!" Li Peichi angrily retorted.

Watching Li Peichi fuming and grumbling non-stop, Yueyue was scared witless. She tugged at Zhang Xian’s trouser leg, saying, "Daddy, daddy, I want a hug."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Nan, Dong Qian, and Li Peichi froze.

Wen Yulan let out a bitter laugh and quickly explained, "I know you guys have misunderstood, Yueyue is just Zhang Xian’s goddaughter."

Upon hearing this, Dong Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now she had thought Yueyue was Zhang Xian’s biological daughter. Fortunately, she was just his goddaughter.

"You’re back?" Mo Shaoyun walked from the bathroom and paused momentarily when she saw Zhang Xian.

Zhang Xian rubbed his nose and said, "Elder Sister Shaoyun, long time no see, I have missed you!"

Mo Shaoyun grimaced, too lazy to entertain him.

This guy, frolicking and enjoying himself in Yantai, living a life of leisure, would he even remember her? Is it that only when he returns and sees her, he would talk like this?

"So beautiful..."

Seeing Mo Shaoyun, Duan Hong and Wen Yulan stood open-mouthed, frozen on the spot.

Though they both considered themselves pretty, seeing Mo Shaoyun, they started doubting their own appearances. Was there such a perfect woman in this world?

"Are you Zhang Xian’s friends?" Mo Shaoyun asked Wen Yulan and Duan Hong, "Hello, I am Mo Shaoyun."

Duan Hong and Wen Yulan regained their composure, smiled, and said, "Hello! Wen Yulan (Duan Hong)."

"Qianqian, are there any rooms available in the house?" Zhang Xian looked at Dong Qian and laughed, "Elder Sister Hong, Elder Sister Yulan are staying over tonight, can you help prepare?"

"Sure thing!" Dong Qian nodded and ran upstairs.

Zhang Xian turned to Wen Yulan and Duan Hong, "You must be tired after a day’s journey, not to mention the cramped conditions in the backseat. Go take a shower first."

"I’ll show you the way," Zhu Qing said.

Wen Yulan laughed, "Duan Hong, you go first!"

"Sure..." Duan Hong nodded and pulled some clothes out of her bag before following Zhu Qing to the bathroom.

Soon after, Duan Hong, Wen Yulan, and Yueyue were all finished bathing and were led upstairs by Dong Qian.

Zhang Xian, watching Dong Qian lead Duan Hong, Wen Yulan, and Yueyue upstairs under Zhu Qing’s direction, was somewhat torn. Without a doubt, Zhang Qing had to settle scores with him.

As he realized this, he quickly grabbed his clothes and was about to head to the bathroom.

Zhu Qing commanded, "Stop!"

Zhang Xian turned, smiled and asked, "Qingqing, I’m really tired. Can’t we just talk about this tomorrow?"

Zhu Qing stared at Zhang Xian, "What do you think?"

Zhang Xian knew he couldn’t escape, so he uneasily smiled and sat down on the sofa, looking as if he had resigned to his fate.

Zhu Qing, arms crossed, asked, "Zhang Xian, don’t you think it’s time to explain?"

Zhang Xian responded, "Explain what?"

Zhu Qing remarked, "Stop playing dumb with me!"

Zhang Xian laughed awkwardly, "Well, Elder Sister Hong and Elder Sister Yulan are just friends."

Zhu Qing questioned, "Really just friends?"

Zhang Xian wiped his nose, "Really just friends."

Zhu Qing angrily accused, "You’re lying, every time you’re hiding something, you start rubbing your nose. I’ve figured it out."

Zhang Xian was frustrated, he had no idea when he had developed this habit, and it had already been noticed by Zhu Qing. Indeed, when he was uneasy, he would habitually rub his nose.

"You are in trouble." Zhu Qing glared at Zhang Xian, then turned to Mo Shaoyun and asked, "Elder Sister Shaoyun, what do you think we should do with him?"

Mo Shaoyun replied, "Why are you asking me? This is between you and Qianqian. I’m not anything to Zhang Xian, so I don’t have the right or the qualification to intervene."

Zhu Qing retorted, "Elder Sister Shaoyun, are you kidding? You’re Zhang Xian’s fiancée, the most eligible of us all right? If you don’t manage this guy, won’t he turn the world upside down?"
