"Damn it!"
Xu Xiaoya's eyes flashed with anger; she refused to believe it was over!
The last move had to succeed!
She told herself silently, and then another idea struck her. This time, she didn't attack Li Yang directly. Instead, she pretended to be gentle and walked up to him, asking with a smile, "Li Yang, do you like women?"
"Of course, why do you ask, Miss Xu?" Li Yang replied, his gaze filled with caution, suspecting she was up to some trick.
"Then do you like someone like me?"
At that moment, Li Yang's eyes widened. He saw her fair skin and delicate collarbone, which was incredibly alluring.
Xu Xiaoya smiled, gently placing a hand on Li Yang's shoulder, and continued to persuade him, "I actually have a good impression of you too. How about we stop this bet? Get in the car with me, and we can do something else."
"Miss Xu, you don't need to try and seduce me with this method. While I do like women, your personality isn't my type. You want to trick me out of the circle and make me lose immediately, don't you?" Li Yang easily saw through her ploy and said with a light laugh.
"You..."
Xu Xiaoya glared at him, furious that Li Yang wasn't falling for it.
Suddenly, she decided to abandon the honey trap. Without warning, she lunged towards Li Yang's vital point with all her might!
Li Yang's heart trembled. Sensing the danger, he grabbed her hand and unleashed his true qi, pushing her back several meters.
*Thump!*
She stumbled back several steps, barely managing to regain her balance!
When she came to her senses, Li Yang was still standing within the circle, smiling faintly. "Miss Xu, you've gone too far, trying to cripple me. Ten moves are up, and you've lost. What else do you have to say?"
"Hmph, you got lucky. Here are your property deed and keys. I have to go."
Xu Xiaoya, having failed, was very displeased. She threw the deed and keys at Li Yang and returned to her company.
Li Yang watched her retreating figure and said with a grin, "Miss Xu, don't forget your promise. You still owe me one thing."
She ignored Li Yang and walked away without looking back.
Li Yang took the deed and keys, a smile playing on his lips, and hailed a taxi back to Tang Xiaoyao's place.
He planned to have Shui Xiang and the others move into the new house that very day. When he returned, Shui Xiang and Fang Xiaoqing were already playing around in the villa.
Tang Xiaoyao had joined their group, having a blast and looking like they were already becoming one big family.
Upon seeing Li Yang return, they all excitedly ran to greet him.
Shui Xiang noticed the contract in Li Yang's hand and asked with her beautiful eyes, "Li Yang, you're back. What's this?"
"I went out on some business and happened to look at a house. I've already bought it. I'm back to tell you this good news and to take you all to move in," Li Yang said with a smile.
"You've already bought a house? Li Yang, you're so wonderful! Now we'll have a new home. Let me see what kind of house you bought, is it the type I like?"
Shui Xiang was very excited. She hugged Li Yang and kissed him, then quickly snatched the property documents to look. When she saw the layout and location of the house, she was immediately surprised.
She looked at Li Yang and asked, "Li Yang, this villa must be very expensive, right? It's over three thousand square meters, and it's in the most famous area in the provincial capital, 'Ascending the Heavens'. I heard houses here cost at least over a hundred million."
"Ascending the Heavens? My mom wanted to buy a villa there too, but it required a long reservation and the price wasn't cheap, so we gave up. How did you manage to buy a house there in just one afternoon, Li Yang ge?" Tang Xiaoyao asked, stepping forward in surprise.
"I happen to know the owner there. I ran into him when I went over and helped him with something, so he gave me a villa," Li Yang explained with a smile.
"You're saying you didn't spend any money on this villa?"
Tang Xiaoyao was even more shocked upon hearing this!
It was simply unbelievable!
The owner of 'Ascending the Heavens' was a renowned top tycoon in the provincial capital, comparable to the richest Long family. To have their boss gift a villa, one would have to be a prominent figure in the provincial capital!
Li Yang actually knew their boss!
Everyone present couldn't help but be astonished!
Shui Xiang said joyfully, "Li Yang, I believe you. This isn't the first surprise you've given me. Since we have a new home, when are you taking us to see it?"
"We can go now. Hurry up and pack your things, and we'll leave right away to move into our new home," Li Yang said with a smile.
Fang Xiaoqing and Zhou Yi immediately jumped up with joy upon hearing this and then excitedly went to their rooms to pack.
"Li Yang ge, you're really moving?"
Tang Xiaoyao watched them happily, but her face was filled with reluctance. She came to Li Yang's side, her words carrying a hidden meaning, "If you leave like this, when will you be back? I won't be able to see you again."
"How could that be? My new house has plenty of rooms. I'll leave one for you, and you can come whenever you want. How about you come with us to see it later?" Li Yang flicked her nose and said.
"Really? That's wonderful! I knew Li Yang ge was the best to me."
Tang Xiaoyao instantly became joyful. She had been waiting for Li Yang to say this.
She hadn't publicly revealed her relationship with Li Yang yet, and she was too shy to say it herself, so she could only wait for Li Yang to speak up.
A short while later, Shui Xiang, Fang Xiaoqing, and Zhou Yi had all packed their belongings, each with a large bag. They happily loaded them into a seven-seater commercial vehicle outside.
This car belonged to Tang Xiaoyao's family and was usually idle, so it was perfect for moving their things.
Tang Xiaoyao also brought a few clothes when she left. Shui Xiang, seeing her unusual relationship with Li Yang, walked up to Li Yang with a playful smile and asked in a low voice, "Li Yang, do you and Xiaoyao have any secrets you haven't told us?"
"Shui Xiang jie, what secrets could there be? Xiaoyao is just coming along to take a look. Don't overthink it," Li Yang denied.
He wasn't planning to tell Shui Xiang and the others about this yet, especially since Li Yang and Tang Xinyu didn't know.
"Really?"
Shui Xiang seemed unconvinced by Li Yang's words. After asking Li Yang, she walked over to Tang Xiaoyao and asked curiously, "Xiaoyao, tell me honestly, is there anything between you and Li Yang?"
"Shui Xiang jie, I..."
Tang Xiaoyao's face immediately turned crimson!
