Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

“That’s right, Lin Yi. You have no idea how upset I was when you didn’t contact me the other day. I couldn’t even concentrate at work,” Wang Manni said.

"Really? Now that we're together, you don't seem very energetic at work," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Pfft-"

Upon hearing this, Wang Manni burst out laughing.

Wang Manni blushed slightly and said, "How can you blame me? I used to be listless at work because I was thinking of you, and now I'm listless at work because I'm thinking of you too."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's smile widened, and his beard grew even more prominent.

Who wouldn't love such a lovely and sensible girl like Wang Manni?

They're still so lovey-dovey.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "What time do you get off work? I'll come pick you up."

Wang Manni said, "I get off work at 4:30, but I might have to work overtime, but I don't want to work overtime, I..."

"I know you miss me and you're not in the mood to go to work, right?"

"Nini, I miss you too. Why don't you ask for leave? I'll take you out to play then," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Uh-huh."

Lin Yi immediately revealed Wang Manni's inner thoughts.

The thought of leaving Lin Yi for three days tomorrow filled her with reluctance.

And so, Wang Manni waited in the shop for Lin Yi to arrive.

……

Lin Yi looked at his chat history with Wang Manni, his face filled with smiles.

“Manny has changed.”

This is Lin Yi's strongest feeling at this moment.

In the past, Wang Manni wore professional attire and had a high level of professionalism, but she also appeared capable and hardworking.

But now, Wang Manni is like a little fangirl, thinking about sweet romance all day long.

Lin Yi realized that Wang Manni's apparent competence was just a cover; this was actually her true personality.

It's hard for Lin Yi not to like Wang Manni, given her qualities.

There was something else that Lin Yi was curious about.

Is Wang Manni's team building event related to Jiang Lai?

If it were someone else, it might not matter, because they wouldn't go to such lengths to do something so trivial.

But if it's Jiang Lai, then it's possible.

Given Jiang Lai's personality, she is perfectly capable of doing something like this.

Whether in the original drama that Lin Yi watched or in reality, Jiang Lai's personality is characterized by "playfulness".

She's now met a girl who looks a lot like her, and she's even more excited now.

As for whether it's related to Jiang Lai, we should know tomorrow.

Wang Manni went on a trip. What if someone who looks a lot like her appears tomorrow?

Is there any need to doubt it?

It must be Jiang Lai.

Honestly, Lin Yi was speechless. Wasn't what Lin Yi did to deliberately take advantage of others at noon today enough?

Do we really have to continue?

Aren't you afraid of being taken advantage of again?

How can Jiang Lai be so carefree?

……

Lin Yi arrived ahead of Wang Manni on the road.

When the time came, Wang Manni ran out.

As soon as she ran out, Wang Manni perked up, her eyes wide as she searched everywhere for Lin Yi.

Lin Yi got out of the car, and Wang Manni immediately ran over and got into Lin Yi's car.

"Nini, where do you want to go?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.

"I don't know either, I want to go somewhere romantic," Wang Manni said with a smile.

"it is good."

As soon as Wang Manni said that, Lin Yi knew.

Lin Yi brought Wang Manni to the Peninsula Hotel in Shanghai. The hotel's biggest feature is its location on the Huangpu River, offering clear views of the river.

Lin Yi, holding Wang Manni's small hand, walked in with a smile.

Seeing Lin Yi lead her into the hotel, Wang Manni's face involuntarily turned red.

Lin Yi was leading her along when he glanced at Wang Manni and noticed the blush on her face.

"Hmm? Manny, why are you blushing?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.

"No, I'm not blushing," Wang Manni denied immediately, sounding a little flustered.

Her face was completely red, and she still denied it?

Wang Manni is really good at deceiving herself.

Lin Yi thought about it for a moment, and then suddenly understood.

Lin Yi laughed and said, "Manny, aren't you overthinking this?"

"No," Wang Manni denied again.

Lin Yi burst out laughing.

Manny, could you be any more fake?

Lin Yi laughed and said, "You're really overthinking it. Why would I bring you to a hotel?"

First, this hotel is located on the banks of the Huangpu River, so we can enjoy the scenery outside while we're sitting inside.

Secondly, it's so hot, we shouldn't wander around.

Third, and most importantly, hotels are not just what you think they are. Large hotels are different from small hotels; large hotels have everything.

For example, it has almost everything you can think of, such as a karaoke room, bathhouse, sauna, restaurant, bowling alley, yoga room, gym, and movie theater.

This grand hotel is just that extravagant.

"There are so many things?" Wang Manni asked, puzzled.

"Yes, why would I lie to you? I'll show you around in a bit," Lin Yi said.

"Why isn't the hotel I stayed at when I was on a business trip there?" Wang Manni asked.

"Is there even a question? It's definitely not up to par. This hotel even has a golf course. Do most hotels have that?" Lin Yi said.

"They even have this?" Wang Manni was stunned when she heard this.

The biggest characteristics of golf courses are that they are large and expensive, as they occupy a huge area.

"Yes, so don't talk nonsense." Lin Yi said.

"Mm." Wang Manni nodded.

Wang Manni was like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, full of curiosity about everything that was happening.

Although she has been in Shanghai for several years, she spends most of her time working and has no time to travel around.

Besides, even if she were just having fun, she wouldn't come to such a nice hotel. With her meager salary, she's barely able to support herself.

So she had only heard about what Lin Yi said from others, but had never been to his home.

Wang Manni stood beside Lin Yi, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Lin Yi said with a smile, "I'll show you today."

Lin Yi first took Wang Manni to briefly visit the place he had mentioned.

Just as Lin Yi said, it contained everything.

"You can experience all of these things without leaving home," Wang Manni said with a smile.

"Mhm." Lin Yi nodded with a smile. "So, which project would you like to start with?"

"Shall we play billiards first?" Wang Manni suggested.

"Sure, but do you know how to play?" Lin Yi asked.

“No, darling, please teach me,” Wang Manni said.

"it is good."

They arrived at a billiards room. Lin Yi let her play a couple of shots first, and after confirming that she really didn't know how, he began to teach her.

"Relax, relax, don't be nervous."

As Lin Yi spoke, he grabbed Wang Manni's hand and, from behind her, gently tapped the ball into the net with his cue stick.

Lin Yi taught Wang Manni for more than ten minutes, and the two also spent more than ten minutes being affectionate.

Inside the billiard room, the air conditioning was at a comfortable temperature. Looking at their flushed faces, one might think something had happened.

After playing pool, the two went to a karaoke bar.

Once inside the KTV, it was Wang Manni's turn to shine.

At first, Wang Manni was a little reserved, but soon she started to get into the swing of things.

First, they sang "I Love You," and then, feeling it wasn't enough, they sang "I Really Love You," followed by "I Can't Live Without You."

(The song title was made up by the composer.)

Seeing this, Lin Yi couldn't stop laughing.
