Then why don't you call me daddy

Zhong Qianqian noticed the neighbor's Cadillac Escalade pulling out of the garage.

She had seen from the information that this was Xu Mu's car.

She smiled at this moment and walked towards the car. When she saw it was Xu Mu, she feigned surprise, then waved with a smile.

Ye Yu, standing to the side, immediately frowned, sensing things weren't that simple.

Could this woman be another one of brother-in-law's interests?

Xu Mu noticed Zhong Qianqian blocking his path, so he stopped the car and opened the door.

"It really is you? What a coincidence. Someone might think I was stalking you."

Zhong Qianqian said with a look of pleasant surprise, "But actually, I rented a place here a few days ago."

Xu Mu smiled faintly, "Is your foot okay now?"

"It's fine, it only hurt for a little while."

Zhong Qianqian explained.

"That's good."

Xu Mu nodded.

"Brother-in-law, who is this?"

Ye Yu walked over from a distance, linking her arm with Xu Mu's, and looked at Zhong Qianqian warily.

Zhong Qianqian looked at Ye Yu. She was also in the information—Ye Tong's younger sister, and also the younger sister of the Dragon King, Ye Chen.

The information said Xu Mu was a scumbag, but judging from the intimate way Ye Yu was with Xu Mu,

Xu Mu clearly treated Ye Yu very well.

Could the information be wrong?

"Hello, I'm Zhong Qianqian. We just met recently. I never expected him to live right next door to me. What a coincidence."

Zhong Qianqian looked at Ye Yu, then took out her phone and walked towards Xu Mu. "Can we exchange contact information?"

"Sure."

Xu Mu didn't refuse and also took out his phone.

After they exchanged phone numbers and added each other on WeChat, Xu Mu drove away with Ye Yu.

Zhong Qianqian immediately started moving her luggage into the living room of her villa.

Once everything was ready, she sprang into action.

First, she checked the rooms for security. Finding no issues, she installed pinhole cameras in her own living room and bedroom.

She then carried a case to the bedroom and began assembling a computer there.

"Ah! I'm exhausted!"

Zhong Qianqian wiped the fine sweat from her forehead with her hand, but finally, her own bedroom was set up.

On the nearby computer desk, there were a full four monitors, plus a laptop and a tablet.

Next to it was a small refrigerator filled entirely with drinks like cola and iced tea.

The comforter on the bed had been changed to one with anime patterns, and there were a few more body pillows featuring handsome 2D men.

She lay down on the bed now, hugging a body pillow, and opened her phone to check Xu Mu's social media feed.

She found he didn't post much, but she still managed to find one of his selfies.

"Time to maintain the relationship. Online chatting is my forte."

Zhong Qianqian sent this selfie to Xu Mu, adding a line of text.

"Neighbor, I showed your photo to my mom. She said you're really handsome! You must be a good man!"

She added a cute sticker with heart-eyes at the end.

After sending it, Zhong Qianqian tossed her phone aside, thinking her move was brilliant.

She directly told Xu Mu he was handsome, straight to the point.

Then, adding her parent's approval—for a man, that's the ultimate affirmation.

Xu Mu must be over the moon with joy right now.

Ding!

Hearing the phone notification, she immediately picked it up to check.

Surely Xu Mu was already fantasizing, though most men wouldn't show it so obviously; they might play it cool.

She saw Xu Mu's reply: "Then why aren't you calling me 'daddy' yet?"

"Damn!"

Zhong Qianqian cursed under her breath.

[Favorability -5]

She clenched her fist. Is this guy's brain wired wrong?

I, your lady, actively compliment your looks, and you insult me?

"Xu Mu! You're hideous!"

Zhong Qianqian fumed, but her current mission was to make Xu Mu fall for her.

She definitely didn't dare let Xu Mu hear that.

Taking a deep breath, Zhong Qianqian threw her phone onto the bed.

She sat at the computer desk, turned on the computer, and began rapidly inputting code. Finally, she created a small virus and hacked into the surveillance room of the villa complex.

Before long, one of her screens displayed the surveillance feeds of the entire neighborhood.

She focused the camera feeds on Xu Mu's house and lay back down on the bed.

She felt the mission Ye Chen gave her this time was too difficult; Xu Mu simply wasn't a normal person.

...

Xu Mu drove back home and spent a little time simply teaching Ye Yu a few more techniques. She had already learned parallel parking and reversing into a parking space.

When they arrived home, Xu Mu found Ye Tong had already returned from work.

"Sis! Brother-in-law taught me how to drive today."

Ye Yu ran smiling into the living room.

When she reached the living room, she found their new neighbor, Zhong Qianqian, sitting on the sofa chatting with Ye Tong.

Xu Mu followed her in. When he saw Zhong Qianqian before him, he was inwardly surprised.

He had underestimated her before.

Originally, she wore a loose cartoon dress that didn't show her figure.

But now, she had changed into a form-fitting black dress, revealing that her figure was comparable to Dai Xingluo's.

Having reached the realm of D-cup.

Indeed, clothes make the person. Wearing this, she instantly seemed more beautiful too.

"Honey, you're back."

Ye Tong greeted Xu Mu with a smile when she saw him return.

Zhong Qianqian noticed the look in Xu Mu's eyes as he watched her. She snorted inwardly. Men are all the same.

With just a slight display of her assets, the look in his eyes changed.

"Mhm."

Xu Mu walked over and sat down beside Ye Tong.

"This is our new neighbor."

Ye Tong took Xu Mu's hand. "Her name is Zhong Qianqian."

"We've already met before."

Xu Mu nodded lightly.

"Why don't you stay and have dinner with us today?"

Ye Tong said to Zhong Qianqian with a smile.

"No need, I've already marinated some meat. I'll cook for myself later."

Zhong Qianqian declined with a smile.

She had already chatted with Ye Tong for a while. This woman was very nice; the way she spoke felt different.

It seemed in this family, only Xu Mu was the jerk.

But she couldn't lose her temper; she could only keep smiling.

After Zhong Qianqian left, Ye Tong went to cook.

Xu Mu sat on the sofa, observing Zhong Qianqian through his perception.

This was the price of her living next door. From now on, everything about her was under his surveillance.

While eating, Xu Mu noticed Zhong Qianqian was also having her meal.

However, she was eating instant braised beef noodles with a bottle of cola.

Xu Mu also saw her computer screen, displaying the surveillance footage of the entire neighborhood.

He shook his head slightly. This hacker had some skills. He was considering whether to recruit her to his side.

That night, Xu Mu originally planned to have a deep conversation with Ye Tong and also get a sense of the global situation.

Unexpectedly, Ye Tong's period came, so Xu Mu had no choice but to let it go.

...

Early the next morning.

Xu Mu drove to the company and went straight to Xu Ningbing's office.

After knocking and entering, he found Xu Ningbing wielding a longsword, practicing swings in her office.

"What is it? Coming to see me so early in the morning?"

Xu Ningbing glanced faintly at Xu Mu, then continued her sword practice.

It must be said, Xu Ningbing's swordsmanship was likely formidable, because each swing was accompanied by a tremor of thunder.

It made one glance over inadvertently, ultimately leading to distraction and vulnerability.

"Ye Chen has started making his move."

Xu Mu sat on the sofa, getting straight to the point, curious to see what good ideas Xu Ningbing could come up with.

Just then, his phone vibrated. He took it out and glanced at the screen—it was a message from Zhong Qianqian.
