Half an hour later, a Lamborghini leading a six-meter-long box truck slowly pulled up to the entrance of Villa No. 3.

He casually parked the Lamborghini by the entrance, pushed open the door, and got out.

"Come on, it’s almost noon. You guys head inside and rest for a bit. We’ll set off after lunch."

Seeing how approachable their boss was, the three men relaxed a little. Still, the thought of resting inside their boss’s villa was too intimidating.

So, all three of them waved their hands repeatedly, insisting they were fine just waiting in the truck.

But to their surprise, Fang Chenyi shot them a mock glare.

"What’s the problem? Is my house a dragon’s den or a tiger’s lair? Is there some rule against entering? Come on, stop being so fussy. Get inside." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

With that, he paid the three men no more mind and simply called Char to have a meal delivered.

The three men watched their boss go inside, exchanged a look, then gritted their teeth and cautiously followed him in.

Arriving in the living room, they were so intimidated by the luxurious decor that they didn’t even dare to sit on the sofa. In the end, it took another glare from Fang Chenyi before they cautiously perched on the very edge of the cushions.

"Yi, we have guests."

Just as the three men had sat down, Bai Menghan, dressed in a long, light-blue dress, heard the voices and came down from the study on the second floor.

Seeing her, the three employees quickly stood up, looking nervous as they greeted Bai Menghan.

"Good afternoon, Mrs. Fang!"

The "Mrs. Fang" title made Bai Menghan’s face flush red. She greeted everyone with a smile, then brought them some water.

Just then, Char’s team came in, pushing a serving cart.

Seeing a group of foreigners in chef’s uniforms pushing a cart to deliver their meal, the three employees once again got a taste of the lifestyle of the rich.

At Fang Chenyi’s invitation, the three of them joined him at the dining table. Looking at the dishes, which were even more exquisite than those in a high-end restaurant, they couldn’t help but gulp.

Fang Chenyi waved his hand grandly. "Come on, let’s eat! I’ll need your help with the heavy lifting later, so you three better eat up!"

After the meal, each of the three men secretly patted their perfectly round bellies, still savoring the wonderful flavors.

At first, the three of them had been completely unable to relax, daring only to take food from the plate directly in front of them. But Fang Chenyi had also come from humble beginnings, so he could deeply understand how they felt.

Therefore, at the table, Fang Chenyi didn’t put on any airs as their boss. He even went out of his way to chat with them about topics relevant to their walk of life.

After lunch, Fang Chenyi checked the time: twelve-thirty in the afternoon.

Seeing that they had rested enough, he waved his hand.

"Alright, let’s get going!"

Receiving their boss’s order, the three men, now well-fed and rested, quickly got up and headed outside.

After the three men had left, Bai Menghan, who was standing to the side, asked in confusion:

"Do you have something to take care of this afternoon? In that case, I’ll tell my mom we’ll go over tomorrow instead."

Fang Chenyi was taken aback. "Go tomorrow? Why? Didn’t we already agree this morning? We’re leaving right now, aren’t we?"

"But... don’t you have something to deal with? It’s fine. If you have work, take care of it first. Going tomorrow is just as well."

Looking at the three men outside who had already gotten into the truck, Bai Menghan was still a little puzzled.

Fang Chenyi followed Bai Menghan’s gaze to the box truck outside, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

"Oh, them? They’re my employees. They happen to be going to Qinglong County this afternoon to pick some things up. Since it was on the way and they were reporting to me, I just told them to come here for lunch so we could all head out together. After we see your mom and dad, I’ll go with them to pick up the items."

She glanced outside doubtfully, then back at Fang Chenyi. Being a sharp woman, Bai Menghan had a feeling that things weren’t as simple as he claimed.

However, she figured Fang Chenyi had no reason to lie to her. Plus, she was about to take him home to meet her parents that very afternoon, so she didn’t dwell on it.

This time, the two of them didn’t take two cars, opting instead for just Bai Menghan’s pink Lamborghini.

Because they had to be mindful of the box truck behind them, and due to the speed limit, it took about two hours before the two vehicles, one after the other, finally exited the highway.

"Oh, crap! I was so busy this morning, I forgot to buy a gift! Hey, Xiao Hanhan, see that supermarket up ahead? Pull over there for a second. I need to run in and buy a couple of bottles of liquor for your dad!"

But Bai Menghan, who was driving, just snorted. "Hmph, I’m not stopping for you. When we went to your place, didn’t you stop me from going back to buy a gift? Hehe, now the shoe’s on the other foot, isn’t it?"

"Don’t do this to me! Xiao Hanhan, this is my first time going to your house! What kind of impression will I make if I show up empty-handed? No, no, you have to pull over. I need to go buy two bottles of liquor!"

Seeing that Fang Chenyi was genuinely anxious, Bai Menghan giggled, shot him a charmingly flirtatious glance, and said:

"Relax, you think I’m like you? I already prepared everything. Two bottles of Ocean Blue and a cosmetics set are in the glove compartment. When we get there, just say you bought them!"

"Really? Hehe, Xiao Hanhan, you’re the best! C’mere and give me a kiss."

"Hey, I’m driving! Stop messing around."

...

After another half hour of driving, the car finally stopped in a very ordinary-looking residential complex in a small town.

This time, the slow pace wasn’t because of the box truck. On the contrary, the roads here were in poor condition, so the Lamborghini had to be driven with extreme care. Even so, the chassis scraped the ground several times along the way. Bai Menghan’s heart ached so much she was tempted to just park the car on the side of the road and ride the rest of the way in the truck.

The Lamborghini was simply too flashy, especially in a place like this. Nothing like it had ever been seen around here.

Because of this, when the car drove into Bai Menghan’s residential complex, everyone from the security guard to the residents coming and going couldn’t help but stare and murmur in amazement. They all wondered whose relative owned such a car.

They parked downstairs. Fang Chenyi and Bai Menghan got out, and Fang Chenyi turned to the three employees, who had also gotten out of the truck, and said:

"Take your time moving everything. We’re heading up first."

With that, he took the two bottles of liquor from Bai Menghan and followed her upstairs.

"Mom! Dad! Mission accomplished! I brought Chenyi... brought... uh... him back..."

Bai Menghan took out her keys, opened the door, and shouted into the house. But before she could finish her sentence, she was completely stunned by the scene before her.

It wasn’t just Bai Menghan. Fang Chenyi, who had followed her in carrying the two bottles of Ocean Blue, was also shocked by the sight before he could even greet Bai Menghan’s parents.
