Super Rich: Spend money on handsome guys and get cashback, turning your life around

Chapter 179 Clearance Permit

Bai Li already knew that her next-door neighbor was Wu Hai, but she deliberately didn't expose him, intending to continue playing dumb and see what other tricks Wu Hai could pull.

Since the "new neighbor" has sent an expensive gift, it is only proper etiquette to reciprocate.

Sending a return gift of equal value would be too boring.

How can you subtly incorporate your personal grudges into a gift?

For example, you could send a flying broom, a copy of the book "The Art of Letting Go," or even write a song called "The Order to Expel Guests"...

While Bai Li was still thinking, her "new neighbor" didn't give her any time to think at all. Immediately afterward, the second step came without her noticing.

The next day.

As is her habit, Bai Li goes to the rooftop every morning to breathe in some fresh air.

The rising sun had just broken through the clouds, and the morning mist had not yet completely dissipated. A cool breeze, still damp with dew, brought a refreshing coolness.

Bai Li took a deep breath, the coolness traveling from her nasal cavity straight to her heart and lungs, instantly clearing her head, which had been feeling dizzy from the underfloor heating!

Perhaps it was because of the "new neighbor" who caught her attention that she glanced at the neighbor's house after arriving on the rooftop today.

With just that one simple glance, Bai Li was stunned, her breath caught in her throat, and she almost dropped the coffee cup in her hand.

In the neighboring courtyard, there are several tall holly trees. Normally, these lush holly trees act as a natural barrier, blocking most of the view and making it difficult for outsiders to peek into the courtyard from a distance. But some people just can't resist letting you see.

At this moment, the holly wall in the neighboring courtyard has been pruned into a hollowed-out screen, with countless diamond-shaped spots of light filtering through the branches.

A man was sitting astride a tall metal ladder with his back to him, pruning branches, practically as if he had "Look at me!" written on his back.

Dark green cargo pants hugged her long, straight legs, and the light beige sweater she wore shimmered with a hazy glow in the backlight, its sleeves casually rolled up to her forearms.

Sunlight shone on him, and a gentle breeze blew by, causing his hair, which was tied up, to sway in the wind, with even the ends of his hair moving in a perfect motion.

He skillfully trimmed the branches and leaves, the smooth lines of his back muscles flowing with each trimming motion, showcasing his superior physique.

As the cold wind swept through the courtyard, it tumbled up a few dark green leaves that clung to his rolled-up sleeves, only to be casually brushed away by his slender fingers.

Although it was just a back view, Bai Li recognized Wu Hai at a glance because of his almost perfect head-to-body ratio.

If you ignore the outdoor temperature, the picture looks incredibly realistic, with the morning light gilding it, making it as pleasing to the eye as an oil painting.

The problem is that the temperature is not high today, and the cold wind in the early morning carries a chill, so most people have to wrap themselves up tightly when they go out.

In Wuhai's weather, someone dressed like this would personally go to prune tree branches.

Has he gone mad?

Bai Li was stunned.

If she remembers correctly, Wuhai came from country A, not from the Arctic, right?

The butler said yesterday that he was unwell, and now it seems that even if he's not sick, he's going to get sick.

—You're mentally ill.

Bai Li mentally ranted and complained.

But she couldn't help but stare at it; regardless of anything else, it was indeed beautiful.

Just then, as if sensing something, Wu Hai turned his head slightly, and his stunning profile unexpectedly entered Bai Li's field of vision.

A high, straight nose, a beautifully shaped jawline, eyebrows and eyes, slightly upturned corners of the mouth... every feature is a meticulously crafted work of art.

Bai Li's fingers tightened slightly as she held the bone china cup, and wisps of white steam rose from the warm caramel macchiato in the cold wind.

He truly deserves to be called the man with the highest looks score to date.

It's no exaggeration to say he's as beautiful as a painting.

Although he has a terrible personality and is very scheming, his looks are truly the most authoritative factor. Every time Bai Li sees his face, most of her temper disappears.

Beauty can be a trap!

Don't be fooled by appearances; this guy is definitely up to something again!

Who is this deliberate pruning of the branches meant for?

Why do you have to cut your own hair when you have so many servants at home?

Jiang Taigong fished, and those who were willing took the bait!

This is blatant seduction!

Although Bai Li kept reminding herself, she still couldn't take her eyes off it.

Bai Li admitted that she had lost to Wu Hai; his face was just too unfair.

Since he's already here, how can I possibly drive him away?

Although it's still unclear what Wuhai is up to, it seems that Wuhai hasn't caused any real trouble for me over this long period of time.

In addition, I have grown a lot and have more resources to rely on.

A whole bunch of active and passive terms, plus the [identity modifier].

Whether they live next door or deliberately approach him, Wuhai can hardly cause him much trouble anymore.

She has absolutely no need to be as afraid of Wuhai as she was before.

When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it.

To prevent this international friend from catching a cold in the cold winter, Bai Li turned on her phone and made a call.

-----------------------------------

Sheldon, clutching a new Burberry plaid scarf, stood under the tree, looking up at his young master in the tree with a worried expression, his wrinkles seeming to deepen.

"Young master, please be careful!"

He kept a close eye on Wu Hai's every move, worried that Wu Hai might accidentally fall off the ladder, which would be a huge problem.

If he falls, I will risk my life to catch the young master.

Sheldon added, "It's too cold, at least wear a scarf, right?"

As he spoke, he waved the scarf in his hand, trying to get the young master to get down first, and hopefully to make the young master give up the idea.

"My God!" Sheldon lamented silently to himself.

His original suggestion to Wu Hai was to play the violin or something in the courtyard.

With his outstanding looks and superb musical skills, his young master would surely win over Miss Bai Li as soon as he performed in the courtyard.

But the young master had his own ideas and insisted on showing off his gardening skills. In order to attract more attention, he even climbed up to prune the plants himself.

Wu Hai was straddling a tall metal ladder, holding pruning tools in his hand, but his eyes showed some hesitation.

He was actually a little uncertain, but his uncertainty was not about whether his plan was feasible, but rather whether his method of pruning the holly was correct.

Country A doesn't have this kind of holly, and this is the first time he's ever encountered holly. He's pruning it entirely based on his intuition, so he's inevitably a little unsure of himself.

Wu Hai frowned slightly, ignoring Hilden's nonsense, and asked in a drawn-out tone, "Sheldon, how was my trimming?"

As he spoke, he tilted his head slightly, and a ray of sunlight shone on his face, outlining a perfect profile.

Sheldon quickly praised with a beaming smile, "Young master, you have trimmed it very well. This holly looks even more vibrant after you've taken care of it. It will definitely thank you. Please come down now."

After hearing this, Wu Hai scoffed, "What would I do with the tree's gratitude?"

After saying that, he turned around again, adjusted his posture, and prepared to swing the pruning tools in his hand again, wanting to prune the holly even more perfectly.

Just then, a servant rushed over and handed Sheldon a constantly vibrating cell phone.

When Sheldon picked up the phone and saw the caller ID, he was overjoyed. He knew his savior had arrived, and he quickly looked up and called out, "Young Master, Miss Bai Li is calling!"

"Click," the metal shears got stuck between the branches.

The ladder began to shake violently, and the people below held on to it even more tightly.

Amidst Sheldon's nagging of "Ouch!" and "Young master, slow down!", Wu Hai quickly jumped down the ladder.

He took the phone, saw Bai Li's name on the screen, smiled knowingly, glanced at the next room, cleared his throat, and answered the call in a light tone: "Hello, Little Pear."

"Wuhai, you've almost pruned the trees bare, stop already!" Bai Li couldn't help but tease with a smile. "You gave me some good wine, aren't you going to come over and have a few drinks with me?"

Upon hearing Bai Li's words, Wu Hai knew that his plan had succeeded.

"Wait here, I'm coming right away."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Hai was in an exceptionally good mood. He lowered his head and slowly tidied his slightly disheveled clothes, smoothed his wind-blown hair with his hand, and swept his bangs back to reveal his smooth forehead. Then he raised an eyebrow at Sheldon, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

Surprisingly, Sheldon's seemingly unreliable methods actually worked to some extent.

He casually took Sheldon's scarf and praised him, "Sheldon, you did a good job. Tell me what to do next."

Sheldon bowed slightly respectfully: "Young Master, it is my honor to have your approval. From now on, please do as you wish."

Wu Hai stopped abruptly as he touched the doorknob. The reflective surface of the intricately carved bronze door revealed his appearance. He paused, hesitated, and turned back to ask, "Sheldon, should I just go like this?"

A barely perceptible pang of heartache flashed in Sheldon's eyes as he patiently smiled and encouraged, "Young Master, show your most authentic self."

----------------------------------

When Bai Li opened the courtyard gate, Wu Hai was already standing at the door.

This man, who is always breaking boundaries, is now standing properly on the entrance line, as if waiting for some kind of clearance.

In some exotic myths, certain spirits are bound by laws, and they cannot step into a house without the owner's permission, even if the door is open.

Therefore, they will use sweet talk or emotional tricks to lure the homeowner.

Once the host relents and takes the initiative to invite you, unpredictable consequences often occur.

At this moment, Hanxiao looked at her Wuhai, and in terms of both appearance and temperament, he inexplicably matched the monsters in mythology, which made Baili feel a different kind of feeling.

Having not seen Wu Hai's true face for a long time, Bai Li was inevitably momentarily stunned by such a stunning beauty.

Bai Li quickly looked away, concealing the turmoil in her heart. As she led the way, she cleared her throat, feigning composure, and said, "Come in."

Wu Hai had visited the front garden before to confirm whether the variegated ghost orchid had actually sprouted.

So when he passed by the garden this time, he subconsciously looked in the direction of the Ghost Orchid, only to find that the Ghost Orchid variant was no longer there, leaving only a slightly empty patch of grass.

Wu Hai stopped, pointed to the land, and asked with a pitiful tone, "Where's Guilan?"

Three black lines appeared on Bai Li's forehead as she explained irritably, "I planted it in the backyard greenhouse. This is a variant from the rainforest. It's so cold in winter, how could I possibly keep it outdoors? Do I look like such a stupid person?"

Wu Hai didn't think Bai Li was stupid.

Instead, they thought that given the remarkable nature of the white pear tree, it might be able to keep the ghost orchid alive in winter.

However, it seems that the white pear's miraculous properties have not yet defied the laws of nature.

This was the first time Wu Hai had been invited inside the house. He couldn't help but look around and finally exclaimed, "It's a very ordinary house."

Although Bai Li's house is already fully furnished, with a simple yet stylish design and high-quality furniture and decorations, for Wu Hai, who is used to all kinds of luxurious mansions, such a house can only be considered ordinary.

Bai Li never intended to show off her skills in front of this young master of the Wu family, and she didn't invite Wu Hai over to let him admire her house.

But Bai Li was still furious when she heard Wu Hai say such things about his beloved house.

Sometimes, I really want to launch a major crackdown on Wuhai's speech.

Bai Li's tone grew increasingly dangerous: "Wu Hai, if you say another word, I'll fuck you."

Bai Li was still in a daze from the shock of Wu Hai's good looks, but now she completely empathized with her past self. That hateful, sharp-tongued man is only handsome when he's not talking!

Wu Hai didn't know what was wrong with him. He didn't usually act like this with others, but he just wanted to tease Bai Li, probably because Bai Li's reactions were always so funny.

Wu Hai then followed Bai Li into the back courtyard.

As soon as he entered, his eyes widened instantly, as if he wanted to say something, but he was so shocked by the scene before him that he was speechless for a moment.

Wu Hai, who had just thought the front courtyard was ordinary, now really wanted to take back his words.

This house is anything but ordinary!

As soon as he entered, he saw the photo wall that Jingye had carefully arranged.

The photo wall now has even more photos than before, arranged in a dense, orderly fashion, recording every beautiful moment.

In particular, the photo of Bai Li and Jing Ye together occupies most of the space on the photo wall.

Picnics, camping, horseback riding... for two people

The most important one is the one right in the middle.

A photo of Shirai and Shizuya taken on a cruise ship with a shooting star as the backdrop.

—I took the photos of them myself.

Wuhai: ...

He knew that Jingye had followed Baili after leaving the ship.

But he always thought that Jingye and Baili had a normal employer-employee relationship.

Looking at these photos now, it seems that's not the case.

Wu Hai looked at the photo, his expression gradually becoming complicated. He narrowed his eyes, a barely perceptible hint of jealousy flashing within them. His lips curled slightly downwards as he casually mentioned Jing Ye: "You and that butler seem to have a pretty good relationship..."

Bai Li turned around and saw Wu Hai standing motionless in front of the photo wall, his eyes fixed on the photos.

She couldn't help but feel puzzled.

what happened?

One by one, whenever they come to her house, they like to look at this photo wall.

It was the same when Zhang Yu came to her house before, and it was the same when Guan Cha came...

They're just some ordinary photos, right?

Bai Li casually agreed, there was no need to tell Wu Hai how good her relationship with Jing Ye was.

If I hadn't had some questions for Wu Hai, I wouldn't have invited him into my home.
