Fortunately, in order to adapt to the identity of being "kept", He Qianshan had bought a small house outside the Fourth Ring Road in advance, which was in line with the income of an 18th-tier actor like him.
The house was bought through Fu Heng. It was a fully - decorated single - person apartment where one could just move in with a bag.
He Qianshan only knew the general location of the apartment. He had no idea about the specific real - estate project, unit, floor, or room number.
But he couldn't call Fu Heng to ask where his home was in front of Wu Pengpeng. So he had to grit his teeth and keep driving forward.
Fortunately, on the way, Wu Pengpeng, perhaps tired from crying, fell asleep on the passenger seat.
He Qianshan parked the car by the road. He pulled up the overcoat that had slipped off her body, and then turned the air - conditioning vent towards her. Only then did he take out his phone and send a text message to Fu Heng.
"Send me the specific address, unit building, room number, and door lock password of the new house."
Fu Heng was struggling with a pile of reports. When he suddenly saw the boss's message, he didn't react for a moment.
Soon, another message from He Qianshan came: "Hurry up!"
Only then did Fu Heng realize what he was talking about. He quickly replied, "No. 18 Fengcheng Road, Baihualinju Community, Building 14, Unit 2, Room 3004. The password is 201028."
He Qianshan sent an "OK" gesture. Just as Fu Heng breathed a sigh of relief, another message came from him: "Go there right now and make the room look like someone has lived in it."
What did it mean to make it look like someone had lived in it?
Fu Heng hadn't figured out the boss's order yet when another message from He Qianshan came: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and leave within an hour!"
Fu Heng subconsciously looked behind him. Not seeing He Qianshan's figure, he patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief. Then he picked up his car keys and phone and rushed downstairs.
After He Qianshan told Fu Heng what to do, he sent another message and then restarted the car.
They were in the south of the city, while the new home was in the northern suburbs. It would take more than an hour to drive across the city. Before he got home, Fu Heng had already sent a message saying that everything was ready and told him to go home without worry.
When the car drove into the underground parking lot, Wu Pengpeng just woke up. She looked at the outside environment in a daze and asked, "Are we here?"
"Yeah." He Qianshan found a parking space and parked the car, but didn't turn off the engine. He stopped Wu Pengpeng who was about to open the door and get out. "You just woke up. Wait a while before getting out, or you might catch a cold."
His thoughtfulness made Wu Pengpeng feel warm inside. She replied obediently, "Okay."
The two sat in the car for more than ten minutes before getting out.
Just as they walked to the elevator door, a figure suddenly rushed over. He Qianshan almost instinctively pulled Wu Pengpeng into his arms, avoiding being touched by that person.
Wan Qianxun saw that she was avoided by him as if she were a snake or a scorpion. "..."
The anger from looking for the way just now suddenly flared up. She glared at He Qianshan angrily. "This shabby place of yours is so hard to find! Do you just let all your money sit at home and 'breed'?"
Seeing that it was Wan Qianxun, He Qianshan breathed a sigh of relief. Just now he thought it was some bad guy again.
But he didn't let go of Wu Pengpeng. He winked at Wan Qianxun, signaling her not to say any more.
Only then did Wan Qianxun realize that He Qianshan had told her not to tell his little girlfriend his real identity.
She changed the topic and said generously, "If you're short of money, I can lend it to you. You can buy a house in a better location. I'll only charge you one - third of the bank's interest. How about that?"
He Qianshan knew she was deliberately teasing him. Before he could say anything, Wu Pengpeng replied for him first. "Thank you, sister, for your kindness, but no. He has money."
Wan Qianxun looked at Wu Pengpeng in He Qianshan's arms. The little girl's head just reached He Qianshan's chin. Buried in his arms, she was like a gentle little kitten.
But at this moment, the little kitten was looking at her coldly, looking a bit fierce in her cuteness.
Wan Qianxun was quite satisfied with this result. It seemed that her old classmate was making good progress recently. His little girlfriend knew how to be jealous.
She deliberately teased Wu Pengpeng and said seriously, "You may be deceived by his appearance. Although he looks like a rich man, he's actually very poor."
Hearing her expose He Qianshan's "secret" right to his face, Wu Pengpeng's expression turned serious. "I have money. My money is his money."
Wan Qianxun was逗得 "扑哧" laughed by her protective look. She said with a laugh, "Okay, I know you two are in love. Stop showing off, okay?"
Wasn't she the one showing off how familiar she was with He Qianshan in front of her? Why was she turning the tables now?
Before Wu Pengpeng could defend herself, Wan Qianxun stuffed a bag into her hand. "These are all new clothes. They've been washed. You can wear them with confidence!"
How did she know she was wet?
Wu Pengpeng looked at He Qianshan and then at Wan Qianxun.
Wan Qianxun quickly explained, "Don't worry. He Qianshan and I are just college classmates, not very familiar ones. Some time ago, I wanted him to endorse my company's products, but he actually wanted to rip me off for a huge endorsement fee. We couldn't reach an agreement and completely fell out. We don't plan to cooperate in the future."
She told lies as smoothly as making a pancake. Wu Pengpeng was completely stunned.
Seeing her cute and dazed look, Wan Qianxun finally understood He Qianshan's pleasure. This girl was so cute!
She subconsciously wanted to reach out and pinch Wu Pengpeng's face, but accidentally received a death glare from her old classmate. So she quickly stopped and just brushed her bangs up.
"I only came today for your sake." She glanced at Wu Pengpeng's chest and said without any hesitation, "I don't know your size, and he couldn't explain it clearly either. So I brought you a sports bra."
Wu Pengpeng: "..."
Sister, do you think it's appropriate to say this in public?
Especially in front of He Qianshan. Didn't she have any self - respect?
Of course, it wasn't because of inferiority. Although the original owner was very thin, she still had a good figure.
Wu Pengpeng couldn't explain that feeling. Anyway, she just didn't want He Qianshan to know.
Her cheeks blushed slightly, and she murmured a "thank you".
Wan Qianxun watched as both of them blushed like cooked shrimps. She deeply felt the pleasure of being a matchmaker again.
She wanted to improvise another speech to push their relationship forward, but then she heard He Qianshan say coldly, "You can go back."
Wan Qianxun: "..."
So I'm just a tool with no lines, right!
He Qianshan didn't give her time to refuse. "She's still wearing wet clothes."
Wan Qianxun also didn't want the cute girl to be cold in wet clothes. She rolled her eyes at He Qianshan angrily. "Fine. Don't come to me next time if you have something!"
Then she looked at Wu Pengpeng again with a gentle big - sister look. Before leaving, she even dared to pinch Wu Pengpeng's cheek. "Go up quickly. Be careful not to catch a cold."
After Wan Qianxun's interference, the atmosphere became so awkward that it was almost solidified.
Wu Pengpeng tried to find something to say. "You and Sister Qianxun..."
"I'm not familiar with her." He Qianshan quickly explained. "I don't have any other female friends. I thought you definitely wouldn't want Zhao Bufan or Shen Qianqian right now, so I could only ask her for help."
Seeing his thoughtfulness, Wu Pengpeng felt warm inside, just like being fully exposed to the sun. "Thank you."
As soon as she finished speaking, they had arrived at He Qianshan's door.
He Qianshan skillfully entered the password, opened the door, and stepped aside to let her in.
The room was not big. One could see the whole room at a glance. The gray - white decoration style made it look simple and elegant.
For some reason, although it was just an ordinary room, when Wu Pengpeng stood there, she suddenly felt that in this vast world, this was the most peaceful place.
He Qianshan took a quick look around. There was no dust in the entrance hall, and the room was very clean. He was quite satisfied.
Then he looked at the sofa. He felt as if he had been struck by five thunderbolts and almost fainted on the spot.
