My Wife is Actually a top-tier Soldier King?!

24: Chapter 24: Good Luck Galore!

Tang Xin stood at the door, her smile pure and sweet.

Opening the door to see a man and a woman, the woman was dressed in a cheongsam and was stunning, as if I had seen her somewhere before.

As for the man…

he looked average, but why did he seem so surprised?

“Do you…

know me?” Tang Xin asked curiously.

Wu Jie nodded repeatedly, “I’ve seen your live broadcasts, of course I know you.”

“Oh my gosh!

I’ve actually met a fan!” Tang Xin immediately reached out for a handshake.

Her fingers were slender and jade-like, warm to the touch.

And her looks were beyond reproach!

However, compared to Tang Xiao, Tang Xin in front of me was even more youthful and vibrant, and that figure…

Ahem!

Lin Wan apologized with a smile, “Sorry you two, I have classes tonight.

If this beauty wants to see the room, then please come in quickly!”

“Yeah yeah, and handsome, we’ll chat later!” Tang Xin smiled sweetly and immediately followed Lin Wan into the house.

Standing at the door, Wu Jie listened for a while.

“Now only the second bedroom is available, fifteen hundred a month, is that okay?”

“Of course that’s fine, as long as there’s no power outage or internet interruption!”

“So are you working?

You look to me like a college student!”

“I…

I’m a freelancer, doing live broadcasts at home.

If you search for Xin’er on Doyu Live, you’ll definitely find me!”

“Single?”

“Do I look like I’m in a relationship?”

“If you’re satisfied, let’s sign the contract as soon as possible!

A deposit for one month plus three in advance, plus other fees, for a total of seven thousand after the transfer of fees – no problem, right?”

“Sure, let’s sign it now!”

…

Upon hearing this, Wu Jie shivered with excitement.

I’m in luck!

Ever since the beautiful CEO bumped into me, it’s been an endless streak of peach blossom luck!

First, I became fake lovebirds with the icy and overbearing beauty Tang Xiao, then I became gaming buddies with the pure beauty anchor Tang Xin, and later became roommates with the classically gentle and beautiful teacher Lin Wan…

And now, Tang Xin suddenly popped up again.

This is just perfect.

Going to work at the company, I’m the boyfriend of the beautiful CEO!

Coming home from work, I’m roommates with two beauties!

Life is looking pretty good!

Wu Jie closed the door, tiptoed to the elevator, and only burst into laughter once he was inside.

Seeing Wu Jie laughing like a fool, a couple who were all lovey-dovey got so scared they dared not speak.

“It’s okay, bro’s struck it rich, you guys carry on!

Keep going!”

Turning around, Wu Jie pressed for the basement floor and continued laughing nonstop.

Driving back home, and sure enough, the city was jammed like crazy.

The phone rang; it was my mom calling.

“Is Jie working overtime?

Is it convenient to talk?”

“No, go ahead!”

“Buy your tickets back early for the May Day holiday.

Cui from the village next door is quite a catch.

Your aunt wants to set you up with her!”

“Blind date?

Uh…

I don’t think it’s necessary!”

“What do you mean it’s not necessary?

You’re not getting any younger.

Aren’t you dating yet?

You may not be in a hurry, but your dad and I are!”

Before Wu Jie could respond, his father’s angry voice burst through the phone.

“You better come back for May Day, or don’t blame your old man for turning his back on you!”

With that, the call was hung up.

Straightforward!

Brutish!

There was no helping it, Wu Jie’s dad, Wu Jianguo, used to be an artilleryman, and he was just that wild in temperament.

Blind date?

Do I still need blind dates?

I already have a fake girlfriend, plus two beautiful neighbors.

Now with the system on my side, what I’ll probably worry about in the future is which one to choose, right?

Chuckling to himself, Wu Jie saw that the road was clear and immediately floored the gas pedal to hurry back.

The rental houses in the neighborhood were all owned by local people who had been relocated and because of the convenient transportation and dense population, they never worried about a lack of tenants.

Wu Jie quickly arranged to meet with the landlord to hand over the keys and packed up to leave in haste.

As a single dog, he had few belongings.

Other than clothes, bedding, toiletries, the only valuable thing he owned was an old computer.

When he arrived at his new home in Tianyuan Xinya, the place was pitch-dark; nobody was there.

Swiftly tidying up the room, Wu Jie connected his computer to the internet and started browsing various live streaming platforms.

“Xin’er isn’t live streaming, could she be moving tonight?”

Just as he was about to send a message to ask, Wu Jie suddenly realized he had another way to make money!

“Damn!

How could I have forgotten about President Tang!

What a cash cow!

One message is a hundred bucks!

Not sending is wasting!”

Muttering to himself, his fingers flew across the keyboard, and he quickly sent out a tingling message.

Ding!

Back at Tang Xiao’s home in Luling International Elevator Apartments.

Lying in the bathtub with a face mask on, Tang Xiao reached out to unlock her phone upon hearing the notification and shockingly sat up straight after a glance.

Splash!

As ripples spread across the water, Tang Xiao felt her lovely face burn even through the moisturizing mask.

“Dear, what are you up to?

Did you have a good dinner?

Don’t work too hard!”

Thankfully it was a text.

If Wu Jie had sent a voice message, Tang Xiao feared she might’ve developed a tub-full of goosebumps.

But then again, she reminded herself that they were collaborating by pretending to be a couple!

After pondering for a moment, Tang Xiao lay back down and quickly replied:

“I’m feeling down, just had some fruit salad, now soaking in a bath!”

No sooner had the message been sent than Wu Jie immediately sent a video call request.

“Damn it!

This jerk!”

Tang Xiao almost reflexively answered the call, but fortunately was quick enough to set her phone on the washbasin beside her before accepting the call.

The screen lit up, but Wu Jie’s face wasn’t visible.

Phew!

Tang Xiao let out a sigh of relief, her worries had been for nothing.

Wu Jie said, “From now on, we should text less and video call more often!”

“Sure!

That makes us look more like a couple!”

Tang Xiao settled back into the bathtub, adjusting her face mask.

“Hey, by the way, how did it go at the project office today?

Did you meet Wang Kun?”

“More than just met.

The guy was blatantly using his power for personal gain, trying to teach me a lesson…”

Wu Jie recounted the day’s events.

After listening, Tang Xiao chuckled and said:

“I thought he might have someone beat you up, but it turns out he’s quite smart, huh?

Knowing how to hurt people with a ‘soft knife’ is much more torturous!”

“Who’s to say who will beat whom?” After a brief pause, Wu Jie continued, “I’ll have to shuttle between the project department and the group frequently, so I borrowed a car.”

Tang Xiao replied, “No big deal!

Actually, having you watch over this project for me is good.

Our group has mainly been involved in infrastructure projects, like railways, bridges, and highways, we’ve done plenty, but this is our first time with a real estate project of tens of billions of yuan!”

“With a project this large and two companies cooperating, there’s a lot of room for rent-seeking.

I’m worried someone might abuse their power for personal gain.

So make sure you watch closely.

Catch any corruption, and I’ll reward you handsomely!”

Wu Jie laughed heartily, “Of course, no problem!

But aren’t you afraid I’ll use my position for personal gain and quietly embezzle something?”

Tang Xiao scoffed, “You?

If you could pull off embezzlement, not only would I not punish you, I’d reward you double!”

“Great!

You said it, so now I’ll have to think hard on how to make a killing!”

“Well, ponder at your leisure!

I’m going to hang up and go to sleep soon.

I have to catch an early flight to Huhai tomorrow.”

“Alright!

Goodnight, dear!”

Wu Jie said it without thinking.

“Goodnight, Jie!”

After saying that, Tang Xiao suddenly furrowed her brows in doubt.

Something seemed off!

At this moment, Wu Jie shouldn’t be calling her dear, right?

But whatever, it was just a fake relationship!

…

Wu Jie set his alarm and tossed his phone aside.

Just as he was about to continue browsing live streams, a commotion came from outside the door.

It was either Lin Wan or Tang Xin, definitely one of his beautiful female roommates returning…
