The segment where the female companion changes clothes is also quite delightful.

So, why didn't the skill work on Chen Yusheng?

Well, it wasn't that it didn't work, but rather that the method of application was open to debate.

That night, when they teamed up to play video games, Su Bai tested it again. He discovered that even when he tower-dived and fed kills to the enemy, Chen Yusheng didn't really flame him anymore. Sure enough, this skill was the real deal.

A few days later, the weekend arrived.

The midterm exams were finally over.

Su Bai decided to kickstart a project he had been thinking about for a long time—house hunting.

The autumn air was crisp and refreshing, and the temperature in Jiangcheng had settled into a thoroughly comfortable range. It was the perfect weather to take the girls out to look at properties.

The plan was to visit all the top-tier luxury residential districts in Jiangcheng. If he saw something he liked, he'd buy it; he was just going to go with the flow.

Of course, the primary goal was to secure a villa that was still in a "shell" or rough-cast state so he could handle the renovations himself. This would become Su Bai's main base of operations in Jiangcheng in the future.

As for other property types, whether they were large flats or duplexes, he was open to buying them as long as they caught his eye.

Thanks to the Indulgence Cashback mechanism, the entire house-buying process was driven purely by whim.

over voice chat, Xia Lin laughed and cried at the same time upon hearing Su Bai's plan.

"So, Little Brother doesn't even know for sure how many units he wants to buy? Fair enough. But let me give you a heads-up: the housing market in Jiangcheng has plateaued. For most sectors, the investment value isn't very high right now."

"I get that. That's why I'm not buying for investment purposes. This is purely consumption for enjoyment."

Su Bai figured that if the investment properties were too strong, what if Bro System decided it wasn't "indulgent" enough?

He had to act like a prodigal son!

Accompanying Su Bai on the house hunt today were Zhou Jialu and the Wan sisters.

Chen Yusheng had spent the last two days intensely reviewing papers with Su Bai and wasn't really up for physical activity today. Besides, she wasn't particularly interested in looking at houses, so she decided to stay at the company and continue her grind.

You wouldn't believe it, but working on a career you love can truly be addictive—much more interesting than sitting through dry, boring lectures at school.

Ever since Chen Yusheng joined Shengxi Tech, the progress on the company's flagship product had noticeably accelerated.

At first, some employees were secretly dissatisfied with this "connected" hire dropping in out of nowhere.

After all, based on stereotypes, what kind of contribution could a female university student—especially one so beautiful—possibly make to coding?

She looked unreliable at a glance.

By all rights, someone who looked like Wang Haoran should have been the one with the Natural Born Programmer Physique...

However, the reality was quite the opposite.

After witnessing Chen Yusheng's skills, no one complained about her special status anymore.

She had genuine talent.

"Brother Su Bai, help us check if this outfit looks okay?"

The door to the nanny's room was half-open. Wan Xinyan poked her small head out and waved at Su Bai.

Su Bai happily obliged. He ducked into the room and was immediately hit by a surprise hug from Wan Xinyue.

At this moment, Wan Xinyan was still in her loose pajamas, while Yueyue had evidently already changed into her new outfit as a trial run.

Yoga pants, an aerobics top—a classic base layer.

The eye-catching part was the jacket: a blue and white cropped design with sailor uniform elements. But since it was a jacket, it felt quite novel.

Worn on Wan Xinyue, it was both cute and capable of highlighting her impressive upper curves.

Furthermore, since it was a cropped top, it worked perfectly. As everyone knows, long coats on short girls are often a disaster.

It could be said that these two sisters knew exactly how to accentuate their strengths and hide their weaknesses.

"It's very good. Elegant and appropriate, yet beautiful. Wear this one."

"Hehe~ Whatever Brother Su Bai likes, that's what we'll wear~"

Wan Xinyan shook Su Bai's arm, acting coquettishly.

Actually, neither she nor her sister cared much about fashion in general. They felt that a group of girls competing to outdress each other was pointless.

But when it came to the man they loved, they had plenty of motivation to dress with care.

It might be a utilitarian mindset, but regardless, it was much better than that pretentious, bitchy attitude of "I dress up to please myself."

Wan Xinyan basically specialized in "man-killer" outfits.

There was no helping it; Su Bai's power level was just too absurd. He could even say things like "I'm not sure how many houses I'll buy today" when going house hunting.

If any other rich guy said that, there was an eighty percent chance he was just posturing. In this day and age, very few people had the ability to buy multiple properties at the drop of a hat.

But Su Bai had the confidence to back it up.

That breezy, casual temperament, paired with a bottomless pit of wealth... *Sigh*, it was simply too mesmerizing!

Wan Xinyan changed her clothes right in front of Su Bai.

Given their current relationship, this was naturally the most normal thing in the world.

However, Wan Xinyan still retained a natural girlish shyness, her face flushing red as she turned her back to Su Bai.

Just as she was preparing to put on her sports bra, she was ambushed by Su Bai from behind.

"Eek! Brother Su Bai, how did you move without making a sound? You were suddenly right here..." Wan Xinyan was a little surprised; she had clearly been listening carefully.

Wan Xinyan had always been confident in her hearing. Back in her hometown, when her grandmother took her and her sister to play by the lotus pond on summer nights, she could even distinguish the calls of different insects amidst the chorus.

"Heh heh, a top-tier hunter has to know how to Silent Step!" Su Bai laughed mischievously. "Anyway, our appointment for the house viewing is quite late, so it doesn't matter if we leave a little later."

"Mmhmm, Brother Su Bai... you really have too much energy."

"Don't you like it?"

"I like it~"

Wan Xinyan leaned the back of her head against Su Bai's chest, tilting her small face up. In this submissive posture, being held from behind, she kissed Su Bai.

She really loved the feeling of being controlled by Brother Su Bai.

...

The following session was, as always, delightful.

But Wan Xinyan noticed something different.

In the past few days, whenever Su Bai was intimate with her, he would occasionally indulge in a "Domineering CEO" roleplay, speaking to her with forceful, commanding words.

In the past, Wan Xinyan would naturally obey Su Bai's orders submissively.

Now, however, alongside that obedience, there was an added layer of dangerously addictive, subtle comfort.

It was as if these commands increased the pleasure.

It was so strange. Wan Xinyan didn't have those kinds of special hobbies. She was a scheming little maid, not like that certain childhood friend...

Maybe she had awakened something recently. This was actually a good thing, because Wan Xinyan had noticed that Su Bai would occasionally play some blush-inducing games with Jiang Qiuran online. If she could replace Jiang Qiuran in fulfilling that particular need, she would definitely be valued even more by her brother.

With this thought in mind.

Wan Xinyan suddenly crawled on the floor, approaching Su Bai, who was resting on the sofa with his legs spread wide like a king. She looked up, her eyes watery and full of affection, and called out... a title that would trigger an instant ban if spoken aloud.

It made Su Bai shudder so hard he nearly spilled his ice-cold Coke.

The little maid really knew how to spice things up!

And Su Bai could tell it was coming from the heart, not just an act.

Nice, very nice. It seemed that the special skill, [Natural Leader], was indeed working on Wan Xinyan.

It might be very useful, but it's unlikely to be of any use.
