Chapter 250: Chapter 164: Familiar Stranger

Shuya didn’t say a word, but Gao Yuan knew the answer from the way her body was shaking.

Before Li Yu had even walked away, Shuya completely collapsed onto the back seat.

It was the first time she had ever experienced anything like it.

She didn’t just think Gao Yuan was crazy; she’d been burning with excitement herself.

Only after Li Yu was long gone did Shuya start to giggle.

"What are you laughing at?"

Gao Yuan was suddenly curious. Shouldn’t he be the one laughing right now?

Why was Shuya laughing so happily?

"That was amazing!"

Shuya shot Gao Yuan a sultry glance, a look that made him feel like he’d gotten the short end of the stick. A very short end, at that!

He had been the one breaking a sweat and doing all the work, while Shuya had just been enjoying the ride.

At this point, Gao Yuan couldn’t tell who had really come out on top.

After Shuya left, Gao Yuan straightened himself out and drove off.

The situation with the Li Family was what it was; he couldn’t learn any real secrets from Shuya. As for that Li Yu kid, who knew nothing but wining, dining, and womanizing, he was clearly just a piece of trash the family had discarded.

On the way home, Gao Yuan considered calling Wang Sichao. The guy probably knew more about the Li Family. But he thought better of it and didn’t make the call.

He still had no idea what the Li Family’s intentions were. Besides, his relationship with Wang Sichao was casual at best; they weren’t close friends.

Lost in these thoughts, Gao Yuan soon arrived back at No.1 Courtyard.

In the parking garage, he didn’t immediately get out of the car. Instead, he lit a cigarette and smoked it leisurely.

Men are strange creatures. After getting home, they often like to just sit in the parking garage for a bit. Even a few short moments can feel like absolute freedom.

Gao Yuan used to do this, but it wasn’t as if Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing pressured him now. They wouldn’t even mind if he smoked in the apartment.

Still, he enjoyed savoring these brief moments in the parking garage.

He hadn’t even finished his cigarette when the CLICK-CLACK of high heels echoed through the garage.

Gao Yuan glanced up. ’A familiar face!’

A familiar stranger, perhaps. They weren’t exactly close, but one could say they were familiar after a few... dealings.

The newcomer was none other than Ji Sinuan.

Today she wore a camel-colored overcoat with a red dress underneath. He couldn’t tell if she was wearing stockings.

’She’s probably wearing nude-colored ones.’

Gao Yuan’s headlights were off. Since he was sitting in his high-profile vehicle, it was difficult for anyone outside to see him without looking closely.

Ji Sinuan merely glanced at Gao Yuan’s car. She knew it was his, and she frowned as she looked.

She remembered it clearly: this was the man who had stood her up. Every time she thought about it, she couldn’t help but wonder if she was losing her touch.

She walked through the underground garage with an elegant gait. The wide pillars were covered with mirrors, and she couldn’t resist pausing by each one to admire her reflection.

’Still so beautiful and captivating.’

A few steps later, Ji Sinuan spotted a steam pipe by the wall, venting a plume of white mist. She glanced around and saw she was alone.

The surveillance cameras didn’t cover that particular corner. She walked over to it.

She slipped off her overcoat, hugging it to her chest, and reached out to touch the white mist. The temperature wasn’t high.

Then, Ji Sinuan took a large step forward into the plume of mist. Her red dress instantly billowed up, and she deliberately struck a Marilyn Monroe-esque pose, pressing her skirt down.

And you know what? It actually had a certain charm.

Inside the car, Gao Yuan couldn’t help but smile at the sight.

’This woman really knows how to have fun. And she certainly loves to admire herself.’

And she had no idea someone was watching her from a car, enjoying her little show immensely.

Gao Yuan didn’t make a sound, not wanting to interrupt Ji Sinuan’s private amusement. He found this voyeuristic perspective rather enjoyable; there was a certain pleasure in discovering someone’s secret.

Once Ji Sinuan had driven away, Gao Yuan got out of his car and headed for his apartment.

When he got home, he found Lin Wanyu doing an aerobics routine in the living room while Li Mengqing sat meditating on a yoga mat.

One was as energetic as a rabbit, the other as still as a statue. In that moment, Gao Yuan felt the scene perfectly matched their personalities, and both possessed an indescribable, captivating beauty.

Leaning against the doorframe, Gao Yuan watched them.

In today’s fast-paced world, so many people are just struggling to get by. The pressures of life and work leave them riddled with anxiety. When they get home, they can’t really look at their significant other with true appreciation.

For most people, blowing off steam after coming home means scrolling through their phones, playing video games, or chatting with strangers online to chase a fleeting sense of novelty.

This was the fast-food lifestyle of the internet age.

Thankfully, Gao Yuan no longer had to worry about making a living. He had the luxury of enjoying life and appreciating the beauty of his women.

Lin Wanyu finished her routine and turned around, panting. Her almond eyes, glistening with sweat, met Gao Yuan’s. "Did you like the show?"

She had heard the door open a while ago, but when Gao Yuan didn’t come in, she knew he was standing there watching them.

Gao Yuan smiled and walked over to her side. "Very much."

Then, Gao Yuan circled around to Li Mengqing. She sat on the yoga mat with her eyes closed, not breaking her meditation even as he approached.

A mischievous thought suddenly struck Gao Yuan. He walked back to Lin Wanyu, took her by the hand, and led her to stand behind Li Mengqing.
