Chapter 15: A Secret Base Belonging To Only Me
Su Ruoxue’s beautiful eyes fixed on Ye Xiao in front of her, her brows slightly furrowed, and her expression somewhat displeased.
Even though she knew this was just the way Ye Xiao was, hearing her speak like that to her face, it still made her feel like Ye Xiao was asking for a beating.
If it weren’t for overhearing Ye Xiao’s inner thoughts that day and the unique, lingering experience from their entanglement, Su Ruoxue would have avoided further interaction with her.
She didn’t hold much affection for this girl who had once planned to disrupt her family.
The only reason she hadn’t grown to fully despise Ye Xiao was because of that night, where for some unknown reason, Ye Xiao had fully gone along with her plans.
Su Ruoxue wasn’t naive. She didn’t believe it was mere coincidence that Ye Xiao ended up by her side that night.
On the contrary, those mysterious thoughts she had overheard from Ye Xiao’s mind had a great deal of credibility.
Still, Su Ruoxue had only been polite just now, and didn’t actually think she was late or had done anything wrong.
With her status, many of the big guys in Binhai City would jump at the chance to get close to her. Yet Ye Xiao truly thought she had been kept waiting?
“Fishy Sister ❤️~ Why are you staring at me like that? Could it be that Fishy Sister Ruoxue is also captivated by my world’s number one cuteness?”
Not only was she always asking for a punch, she was also incredibly narcissistic.
Su Ruoxue was once again gaining new insights into Ye Xiao.
“It’s nothing,” Su Ruoxue shook her head, her mood unexpectedly lightening.
“Well then, world’s number one cute girl, Ye Xiao, please follow me.”
Now that her mood had lifted, Su Ruoxue was even inclined to humor and tease Ye Xiao a bit.
Ye Xiao was a little surprised by Su Ruoxue’s reaction.
“Oh my, it seems Fishy Sister has finally accepted her fishy role ❤️~ So, where are we headed next?”
Su Ruoxue suddenly felt like the time spent with Ye Xiao at the hotel the other day hadn’t been enough. They hadn’t gotten to know each other deeply enough.
This girl, Ye Xiao, was young but daring, with a prideful, arrogant attitude that bordered on audacity.
Yet, oddly enough, Su Ruoxue didn’t find herself disliking her.
“Shall we find somewhere quiet to chat? Maybe the Café Xīngqīkè?”
“Since it was Fishy Sister who suggested the meeting, I’ll leave the choice up to you.”
With that, Ye Xiao casually placed the book she had been reading back on the shelf.
“Not buying it? You seemed pretty absorbed just now,” Su Ruoxue asked, puzzled as she looked at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao shook her head.
“This book seems quite popular lately among girls, I’ve even heard it’s going to be adapted into a TV series. Everyone’s really looking forward to it.”
Ye Xiao shook her head again indifferently. “It’s just a slightly better fish in the sea. In the end, still just a fish.”
The book’s plot of one girl with four male love interests and its Mary Sue style was quite reminiscent of the “Meteor Garden” series that had dominated screens two decades ago in her previous life, with countless remakes.
In her previous life, she had seen far too much of this kind of thing. It had long lost its charm for her.
However, in this cultural desert of a world, the people hadn’t yet been bombarded by idol dramas. When this show airs, it’s bound to be a massive hit.
“Oh? You sound pretty confident. Do you have something better?”
“I do, but I haven’t written it down yet.”
Though, of course, those works aren’t really mine.
“We should get going!”
Su Ruoxue chuckled, not taking Ye Xiao’s words seriously. She thought Ye Xiao was just joking, as there was no way she could write something better.
Su Ruoxue had secretly searched it up on her phone just now.
The book had been out for two and a half years, with over two million copies sold nationwide. In the world of novels, those were astronomical numbers.
Priced at 39 yuan, the royalties alone brought in millions for the author, not to mention the upcoming TV adaptation. Even if the show flopped, the author’s net worth would still be in the tens of millions.
Ye Xiao’s parents’ company was only worth about 30 million yuan.
Su Ruoxue glanced at Ye Xiao but decided not to think too much about it.
She led Ye Xiao to the underground garage, and the two of them got into a McLaren 720S that Su Ruoxue had driven over.
The sleek butterfly door design immediately captivated Ye Xiao, who had never sat in a supercar before.
“I just grabbed one of Gu Tingyuan’s cars from his garage.”
Seeing Ye Xiao’s reaction, Su Ruoxue explained with a slight smile.
“Sister Ruoxue, open the door quickly!”
Ye Xiao was already itching with excitement to get in the car.
But once inside, Ye Xiao faced a rather embarrassing situation. Sitting in the passenger seat, her height made it difficult to reach the butterfly door’s handle.
Her earlier excitement now gave way to discomfort, though it was just a minor inconvenience.
The silver-gray car body, the striking lines—it was all very alluring, exuding the unique charm of a supercar.
The McLaren 720S had plenty of power, yet the engine’s roar was surprisingly quiet.
In less than half an hour, they had left the city and arrived at a villa area outside the third ring road.
After parking the car in the garage, Su Ruoxue got out and rubbed her ankle. Judging by her expression, she didn’t seem particularly fond of the car. Ye Xiao had reason to suspect Su Ruoxue had deliberately chosen to drive this car today.
Clapping her hands, Su Ruoxue said, “We’re here!”
Ye Xiao glanced around the surroundings, feeling a bit uneasy.
Weren’t they supposed to be going to the Café Xīngqīkè or something? How did they end up at a private villa?
“Fishy Sister, are you sure… this is Café Xīngqīkè?”
“This is my house. For discussions like this, it’s better to do them at home. Don’t worry, this isn’t Gu Tingyuan’s place, it’s my own secret base.”
Hearing Su Ruoxue’s words, Ye Xiao’s nervousness finally eased.
She had been looking out the car window earlier, half afraid that Su Ruoxue was going to deliver her to Gu Tingyuan as some kind of heated weapon.
Now, Ye Xiao had a chance to take in the villa before her.
The house had three stories, looking very refined. The yard wasn’t particularly large, but there was a private garage. Although there was no pool, the yard looked perfect for a BBQ.
“So, Fishy Sister Ruoxue, do you often bring people here?”
Su Ruoxue shook her head. “You’re the first, apart from the housekeeper.”
“Well, this villa should feel honored, then! Its first guest is none other than me, the world’s number one cute girl!”
“…”
Su Ruoxue was at a loss for words as she tossed her long hair, which had been pinned down while driving, and walked to the villa’s front door.
Opening the door, Su Ruoxue looked back at Ye Xiao, who was still standing there.
“Hurry up and come in.”
Today had already been filled with new experiences, and Ye Xiao’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
Not feeling the need to be reserved, Ye Xiao boldly walked in. Inside, a housekeeper stood by with her hands folded, respectfully bowing to Su Ruoxue as she greeted, “Miss Su, welcome home!”
But after she spoke, her gaze fell on Ye Xiao, and her expression showed a hint of surprise. This was Su Ruoxue’s private villa, listed under her father Su Chongshan’s name. It wasn’t part of the joint assets she shared with Gu Tingyuan, and even he had never been here.
Seeing the housekeeper’s reaction, Ye Xiao felt slightly astonished. It seemed Su Ruoxue had been telling the truth. She really was the first guest to visit this villa.
