Chapter 708: Hello, Master’s Wife!

Chapter 708: Chapter 708: Hello, Master’s Wife!

Dongfang Rushi’s mouth twitched slightly, as if she wanted to offer a hint of a smile, but her face had been so tightly wound for so many years that she rarely smiled, and now she realized that she was not very good at smiling anymore.

"It’s no trouble...I’ve been quite free these days, so I came over to accompany you to look at houses. These two are your friends, right?"

Known for her wise and calm demeanor, Dongfang Rushi was able to make precise judgments in the fiercely competitive business world, crushing her competitors, but whenever she faced Fang Bai, she seemed to get a bit nervous, her thoughts becoming somewhat muddled.

As to why, even Dongfang Rushi couldn’t explain. She thought Fang Bai might just be her nemesis in life.

For instance, at this moment, as Fang Bai looked at her with a smile, her heart panicked, and she dared not meet Fang Bai’s gaze, quickly shifting the conversation to Niu Ben and his mother beside him.

Fang Bai nodded, pointing to Niu Ben and his mother, and told Dongfang Rushi, "Let me introduce them. This is my disciple Niu Ben and his mother."

Then he pointed to Dongfang Rushi and told Niu Ben and his mother, "Niu Ben, big sister, this is the friend I was just talking about. Her name is Dongfang Rushi!"

Normally, given Fang Bai’s age, he would have addressed Niu Ben’s mother as "auntie." But since he had taken on Niu Ben as his disciple, he was now considered a peer to Niu Ben’s mother, hence his address as "big sister."

"Hello!"

Dongfang Rushi took the initiative to reach out her hand to Niu Ben and his mother.

To Niu Ben and his mother, Dongfang Rushi appeared beautiful and noble, with the demeanor of a fairy, evidently a lady from a distinguished family. They were merely as ordinary as ordinary could be, worlds apart in status from her. Had it not been for Fang Bai, they might never have crossed paths in their lifetimes.

But now, this fairy-like woman was extending her delicate, jade-like hand to them, leaving Niu Ben and his mother feeling simultaneously honored and at a loss.

"Hello! Hello!"

Niu Ben’s mother vigorously rubbed her right hand on her clothes before shaking Dongfang Rushi’s hand briefly and then quickly withdrawing it, as if afraid her own rough and unattractive palm might dirty Dongfang Rushi’s delicate, scallion-white hand.

Niu Ben looked at Fang Bai and then at Dongfang Rushi and had a "Fortune’s Blessing" moment. He bowed deeply to Dongfang Rushi and said with a wide smile, "Greetings, Mistress!"

In Niu Ben’s mind, buying a villa was a big deal, and Fang Bai’s first call was to Dongfang Rushi, who also made her way to meet Fang Bai at the first opportunity, which indicated a very close relationship between them. Therefore, Niu Ben guessed that Dongfang Rushi must be his master’s girlfriend.

The master’s girlfriend would eventually become his wife, and this fairy-like beauty would become his mistress. Since he would have to call her mistress sooner or later, why not do it now and please both his master and mistress?

Frank and impulsive, Niu Ben acted on what came to mind, and the term "Mistress" just rolled off his tongue.

As he uttered "Mistress," Fang Bai, Dongfang Rushi, and Zhao Ya, the secretary following Dongfang Rushi, all froze in astonishment.

After recovering, Dongfang Rushi’s pretty face turned bright red in an instant.

Zhao Ya coughed while looking down.

Fang Bai was both annoyed and amused, giving Niu Ben a smack on the head and said irritably, "What mistress? Nonsense! Didn’t I tell you that Miss Dongfang is my friend?"

"Ah? Not... not the mistress?"

Niu Ben accidentally complimented the wrong way, causing great embarrassment. He hastily bowed and apologized to Dongfang Rushi, repeatedly saying, "Miss Dongfang, I’m sorry... I’m sorry..."

The words "Disciple’s wife" that Niu Ben had just blurted out echoed in Dongfang Rushi’s mind, her heart pounding erratically like a frightened deer. Watching Niu Ben continue to bow and apologize, she not only felt not the slightest bit of displeasure or annoyance, but rather found this honest young man quite endearing, even harboring a wish that he would call her "Disciple’s wife" a few more times.

"You don’t need to do this, it’s nothing..."

Dongfang Rushi regained her usual composure quickly, spoke indifferently, then glanced at Fang Bai, a tinge of shyness in her expression.

Zhao Ya saw Dongfang Rushi’s expression and her eyes widened in disbelief.

A woman’s intuition told Zhao Ya that this aloof, discerning young lady who never showed favoritism towards men had fallen.

"The Second Miss is close to him, and now the Young Lady has fallen for him as well. Is this man really that good?"

Zhao Ya scrutinized Fang Bai closely, finding more and more that this man possessed an indescribable, unique charm, a kind of mysterious appeal that drew people in, making them want to get closer and become intimate with him.

"Miss Dongfang, Mr. Fang, shall we go to ’Moon Bay Community’ to view the houses now?"

Zhao Ya smiled, breaking the somewhat awkward mood at the scene.

Dongfang Rushi and Fang Bai seemed to have a telepathic understanding and nodded in unison, "Sure!"

After speaking, they looked at each other; Fang Bai smiled slightly, while Dongfang Rushi was somewhat flustered.

Fang Bai and Niu Ben and his mother got into Dongfang Rushi’s business vehicle and set off for the newly completed "Moon Bay Community."

Along the way, Zhao Ya explained details about the "Moon Bay Community," such as its location, environment, size, price, etc., to Fang Bai and Niu Ben and his mother. Niu Ben and his mother didn’t understand, but they nodded subconsciously after each of Zhao Ya’s statements.

Yet, Fang Bai asked a few detailed questions, learning that the villas there were situated by the mountains and water, complete with gardens, lawns, garages, and so forth, quite spacious, and priced around one hundred million yuan. He felt very satisfied with this.

Niu Ben and his mother listened on the side with hearts racing. A villa for a billion—they couldn’t imagine how big it would have to be. Wasn’t it too wasteful for just the two of them to live there?

However, both mother and son were tactful enough not to voice their thoughts, choosing instead to follow Fang Bai’s arrangements.

Before long, the motorcade entered the "Moon Bay Community" located to the north of Yanjing, near the mountainous area.

This community, although a bit far from the bustling city, had the advantage of being peaceful and harmonious, making it an excellent place to live.

After the business car passed through the grand entrance of the community, it drove slowly on the flat roads inside. Zhao Ya pointed at the newly-built villas one by one, providing introductions to Fang Bai and Niu Ben’s family.

The villas varied—some were smaller, worth less than fifty million yuan, while others were relatively larger, valued at over one hundred million yuan. Each villa was set far apart from the others, enclosed by high walls and expansive courtyards, with strict security measures, ensuring no need to worry about privacy issues.

"This community has a good location and superb environment; many of the built villas must have been sold already, right?"

Fang Bai asked Dongfang Rushi, showing his appreciation for the residential environment, but guessed that the best-situated villas were likely already taken.
