Chapter 6: Nosebleed Out of Control

Ye Long shrugged and said, "Maybe it's because I've been crazy about chess since I was a kid. I often play it on my phone. Over time, I've honed my skills."

Zhou Ruobing thought to herself that he was just an ordinary security guard. He probably killed time by playing chess during work hours. It made sense that he was good at it.

Zhou Ruobing decided not to dwell on the matter. She stuffed a key card into his hand and announced, "This is our wedding house. We'll live here from tonight."

Then, she handed him a printed note with "Beverly Vista Apartments, Building 2, 15th Floor, Room 1503" written on it. "Here's the address," she explained.

Zhou Ruobing knew very well that if she didn't live with Ye Long tonight, her grandfather would definitely call to question her first thing tomorrow morning. He might even see through their fake - marriage scheme.

To avoid trouble, she had to co - habitate with Ye Long for now.

Next, Zhou Ruobing took out a bank card and threw it to Ye Long. "This is a prepaid payment of $100,000 for you!"

Ye Long didn't take it. He said seriously, "Miss Zhou, what's this for? Didn't we agree that I don't want your money?"

Zhou Ruobing had already sent someone to investigate Ye Long. She knew that Ye Long had been working as a security guard since his discharge from the military half a year ago. The house he lived in was bought with a loan.

After paying the mortgage every month, he had almost nothing left. Moreover, according to the investigation, Ye Long was a very filial son. Most likely, he gave the rest of his money to his mother.

Zhou Ruobing's face turned cold. She said impatiently, "Take it. Don't talk nonsense! There are still many things missing in this house. Use this money to buy them later. By the way, isn't it time to replace your old phone? And you should buy some decent clothes too!"

Ye Long pushed the bank card back. "I can afford to buy them myself. I don't want your money."

Zhou Ruobing looked at him coldly. She secretly scoffed. In her opinion, Ye Long saying he didn't want money was just a ploy to gain her favor. He wanted her to like him so that he could obtain greater benefits. Huh, she wasn't fooled!

After exchanging phone numbers and adding each other on social media, Zhou Ruobing stepped on the gas and drove away.

Ye Long watched the car disappear. He sighed helplessly. "If only this girl could be gentler to me."

Looking at the key card in his hand, Ye Long felt uneasy at the thought of co - habiting with Zhou Ruobing. He had a feeling it wouldn't be easy.

Just then, his phone rang. Ye Long took it out and saw that it was Ye Ma calling. He answered immediately. "Hey, bro. What's up?"

"Bro, Mom is packing. She's been saying she wants to move out and rent a place. Why don't you come back right away?" Ye Ma said anxiously.

Ye Long was extremely surprised. "Mom was living fine. Why does she suddenly want to move out?"

Ye Ma explained, "Mom said she wants to give this house to you and sister - in - law as a wedding house. She's afraid that me and her living here will bother you two..."

Ye Long's nose twitched. "I'm coming back right away!"

After hanging up, Ye Long rushed back to the community.

Soon, Ye Long arrived at the door of Room 802, 8th Floor, Building 3, Santa Monica Block Apartments.

There were several suitcases already placed at the door. Ye Ma walked out with another backpack.

"Bro!" Ye Ma exclaimed happily when he saw Ye Long. Then, he shouted into the room, "Mom, bro is back!"

Su Rou hurried out. She saw Ye Long and looked behind him. "Son, did you come back alone?"

Ye Long proudly showed the key card. "Mom, look what this is?"

Su Rou was puzzled. "What is it?"

"This is the key card Bingbing gave me. She's already prepared a wedding house. So, you don't need to move." Ye Long said as he carried the luggage into the house.

Su Rou followed him in.

Ye Long put down the luggage. "Mom, could you discuss things with me before you act in the future?"

Su Rou smiled. "I was just about to call you." In fact, if she had told Ye Long in advance that she wanted to move out and rent a place, he definitely wouldn't have agreed.

Ye Ma carried the backpack into the house. "Bro, why didn't you bring sister - in - law back for us to meet?"

Su Rou looked at Ye Long expectantly.

Ye Long explained, "She's extremely busy at work recently. I'll ask her to take leave and come back later."

Su Rou took Ye Long's hand. "Son, even an ugly daughter - in - law has to meet her in - laws. Since you've got married, she must meet me and your brother anyway."

Ye Long nodded. "Mom, I know. I'll tell her to take leave as soon as possible." But he was secretly worried.

Su Rou asked again, "Did Bingbing buy the wedding house herself or did her family give it to her?"

"She probably bought it herself," Ye Long replied. "She graduated from a prestigious university and earns a high salary."

Su Rou patted Ye Long's head. "Son, you've really made it. You married such an excellent wife. From now on, don't send money to me every month. Send it to your wife instead."

"Mom, she's got enough money herself..." Ye Long tried to explain.

Su Rou interrupted him. "It's her ability that she's got money. But as her husband, it's your duty to hand over your earnings to her every month."

Seeing his mother's firm attitude, Ye Long nodded. "Okay, I got it."

Ye Ma then asked, "Bro, when are you moving to the wedding house?"

Su Rou answered first. "Of course, it's tonight! Today is a big day for you two. You should live together."

Ye Long secretly laughed to himself. Live together...

"Son, it's getting late. Hurry up and pack. Go and accompany your wife. Don't keep her waiting!" Su Rou said as she helped Ye Long pack.

Soon, Ye Long rode his motorcycle, carrying a suitcase and a backpack, and left Santa Monica Block Apartments.

On the way, Ye Long bought a new phone at an electronics store and several decent outfits and shoes at a high - end mall. Then, he rode his motorcycle to Beverly Vista Apartments.

It was already past ten at night.

Ye Long carried the backpack and arrived at the door of Room 1503, 15th Floor, Building 2, according to the address.

He took out the key, opened the door, and walked in with the suitcase.

The house was spacious. The living room was luxuriously decorated, but there was very little furniture. There were almost no furnishings except for a few sofas.

The lights in the living room, one bedroom, and the bathroom were on. Apparently, Zhou Ruobing had already returned.

Just then, the bathroom door opened, and a snow - white figure walked out.

"Uh!" Zhou Ruobing froze in place, looking at Ye Long in shock.

Ye Long was also stunned. Zhou Ruobing's hair was coiled on top of her head. She was only wearing a small bath towel. Her fair shoulders, a large part of her chest, and her long legs were all exposed.

However, at that moment, the bath towel suddenly slipped and fell to the ground.

Zhou Ruobing looked down at the bath towel at her feet and then up at Ye Long, who was staring at her.

"Ah..." A high - pitched scream rang out.

"Get out of here right now!!!" Zhou Ruobing picked up the bath towel from the ground. She covered herself with one hand and pushed Ye Long out of the door with the other.

"Bang!" The door closed.

The scene just now kept replaying in Ye Long's mind. He marveled, "How could this woman have such an amazing figure? She's a total knockout!"

Ye Long felt a rush of heat all over his body. His nose itched. He reached up and touched it. To his surprise, he had a nosebleed!

Ten minutes passed, but Zhou Ruobing still didn't open the door.

Ye Long couldn't help but knock on the door.

The room was completely silent. Another ten minutes passed. Ye Long simply took out the key to open the door.

Unexpectedly, the door was locked from the inside!

What the hell!

Ye Long took out his new phone and called Zhou Ruobing.

"Creak!" The door opened immediately.

Ye Long carried the luggage and walked in. He saw that Zhou Ruobing was wearing a tight - fitting nightgown and a knee - length thin coat, covering herself tightly.

"What are you looking at!" Zhou Ruobing's face turned cold when she saw Ye Long's gaze.

Ye Long was puzzled. He had just glanced at her, and she was already losing her temper?

Zhou Ruobing pointed in a direction and ordered, "Get into that room! Don't come out without my permission!"

Ye Long looked in the direction she pointed. It was the room farthest from the master bedroom.

A real man doesn't argue with a woman!

Seeing that Zhou Ruobing was still angry, Ye Long didn't bother to argue with her. He pushed the luggage and entered that room.

The night passed without any incident.

The next day, when Ye Long woke up, he found that Zhou Ruobing had already gone out.

This woman gets up so early?

Ye Long wanted to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, but he found that the kitchen was empty. There were not only no ingredients but also no stove or range hood.

Ye Long walked around the house and found that this apartment had four bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms, two balconies, a cloakroom, and a utility room, with a total area of more than 200 square meters.

But except for the beds in his and Zhou Ruobing's rooms, the other rooms were all empty.

Although the house was large, it felt very empty.

Whatever!

Ye Long went out directly.

After going downstairs, he rode his motorcycle out of the community and had breakfast at a breakfast shop diagonally opposite the community.

Just then, a luxury car stopped at the door of the breakfast shop.

A wealthy young man dressed in brand - name clothes and wearing a famous watch rolled down one - third of the car window. He sized up Ye Long, who was wolfing down his breakfast, with cold eyes.

"Mr. Song, it's this guy!" His bodyguard beside him said in a low voice.

Song Zhong narrowed his eyes, and his gaze was filled with viciousness and jealousy.
