Chapter 143: From Now On, We’ll Be Sisters

As expected, the wealthier a man is, the more he plays around.

With twin sisters who are mixed-race, this man is truly shameless to an outrageous degree. However, Lu Mengyao is clear about one thing: Cheng Yao has never talked about love with them. He is willing to spend money on them, buy them houses and cars, and provide them with allowance... but when it comes to genuine affection, Lu Mengyao has zero confidence.

"From now on, we are sisters..."

Lu Mengyao quickly brought Ouyang Aili and Ouyang Zhenli into her fold, sharing some of Cheng Yao's habits and preferences with them. Ouyang Aili listened attentively, while Ouyang Zhenli wondered if this was really necessary. Even so, after hearing it all, she found it surprisingly sensible. In truth, they weren't looking to compete. Could it be that their arrival had triggered a sense of crisis in Lu Mengyao? No, no, they were all in the same boat, so there was no point in dwelling on that; it would only lead to unpleasantness.

"Also, I don't want any woman to interfere with my current life, so knowing your place is the most important thing. Don't think about trying to climb the ladder; before you do anything, consider whether you're worthy of it..." Lu Mengyao said with a smile, "I'm not targeting you; I just don't want to be dragged into trouble."

"Sister, we understand what you mean. Don't worry, we're just here to have fun. We have no intention of marrying him. You're the same, right?"

"Of course."

"That's good. We'll be good sisters from now on."

"Yes..."

Ouyang Zhenli realized that Lu Mengyao's mindset was even more absurd than theirs. To be a mistress and still look out for Cheng Yao to this extent—that was truly something. But it was understandable, as it concerned her own future life. If Cheng Yao's spending on mistresses were exposed, he would surely cut ties with them, and their current lifestyle would vanish. What she was doing was justifiable. If it were them, they would be just as anxious.

They went on to exchange information, such as what Cheng Yao had bought for each of them. In the end, they discovered that Cheng Yao really treated them equally. He hadn't favored anyone; he was fair and impartial, buying everything that needed to be bought, leaving no one lacking. To be such a scumbag to this degree was truly unparalleled. That man was someone who made you love him while feeling helpless!

Lu Mengyao drove quite fast, and with the roads becoming emptier at 11:00 PM, they arrived at Banshan Yundi without a hitch, much faster than the trip to the airport. Just as they reached the underground garage, they saw someone sitting on the hood of a car.

"Is that him?"

"It's him... Why isn't he waiting at home?"

Lu Mengyao glanced at the parking space, her mouth twitching as she realized what was going on. After getting out of the car, she looked at Cheng Yao, then at the Ferrari LaFerrari. "Wow, did you just buy this car?"

"Yeah, beautiful, isn't it?"

"It's gorgeous. Which Ferrari model is this..."

Lu Mengyao didn't know much about luxury cars, only that it was a Ferrari and looked so ridiculously beautiful that it couldn't have been cheap.

"LaFerrari. I'll tell you about it later."

"Cheng Yao..."

Ouyang Aili rushed over to hug him. Cheng Yao said, "There are cameras in the underground garage. Let's talk when we get upstairs. Let me park the car first."

"Okay."

Ouyang Aili gave a sheepish smile, let go, and stuck out her tongue. Standing to the side, Ouyang Zhenli looked at the luxury car in the parking space and then at the very ordinary cars in the nearby spots; the contrast was striking. It was hard to imagine that a wealthy man like Cheng Yao would live in such an ordinary residential area; it just didn't fit. She imagined the other residents in this complex must be whispering to themselves when they saw these cars.

After parking and closing the door, Cheng Yao took the luggage out of the trunk and said, "Let's go, let's head up."

"Okay."

"How long do you plan on staying here?"

"At least a week, otherwise it wouldn't be much fun. A month is fine too, since I'm staying with Sister Lu..."

Cheng Yao glanced at Lu Mengyao, his lips twitching—they were already calling her sister. But that was Ouyang Aili's personality; she was quick to get close to people, the complete opposite of Ouyang Zhenli.

"Then stay for a few more days. What did you tell your school?"

"We told them there was an incident in Japan and we were going home to visit family..."

"That works. Next time, you can just say it's nuclear pollution..."

Ouyang Aili nodded slightly, thinking that made a lot of sense.

Lu Mengyao, standing to the side, remarked, "The privacy here is still too low."

"I have to agree, it really is."

Cheng Yao looked at the three beauties, each with their own distinct charm. Their looks were too recognizable, and with his own growing fame, he really had to take precautions. After all, some reporters wouldn't care who you were.

"If I'm free tomorrow, let's go check out Gaoke Ziweitang. I just saw their delivery ads; they have high-end furnished courtyard houses..."

"Gaoke Ziweitang..."

Lu Mengyao had seen them too; the villas there started at thirty million. In the east of the city, if you asked who set the benchmark for regional improvements, many would point to Xianlin Lake, but you'd still have to look at Gaoke Ziweitang. Ouyang Aili and Ouyang Zhenli were speechless; buying another villa just to hide his mistresses—that was the typical mindset of the rich.

"Do you want a late-night snack?"

"Let's order delivery."

"Alright."

They opened the door and entered the apartment. Although it wasn't as large as the flat in Guangzhou, the level of luxury was in no way inferior. In particular, the grand piano in the living room looked incredibly expensive.

"Wow, Ragdoll cats!"

Seeing the three Ragdoll cats, Ouyang Aili rushed over. Girls all loved soft, cute things; the last thing they wanted was something oval-shaped and train-like. Ouyang Zhenli also displayed a rare look of longing, stepping forward to pet the cats. Lu Mengyao, meanwhile, tidied things up, taking out sun-dried blankets and the like for them.

The four of them ordered fifteen pounds of crawfish and a mountain of other late-night snacks. Cheng Yao sat on the sofa, watching the three girls bustling about, feeling a great sense of accomplishment while his mind began to wander. After all, with three girls together—only Lin Ketong was missing—he would be doing a disservice to the scene if he didn't do something. Even those "time assassins" knew how to host fun pool parties with their beauties.

"Don't take everything out; we might be moving tomorrow."

"Oh, okay."

Lu Mengyao looked around the apartment and said helplessly, "I worked so hard to decorate this place, sigh..."

"You're idle anyway," Cheng Yao said dismissively.

"That's true. The delivery is coming; you go open the door."

Watching Lu Mengyao's casual demeanor, Ouyang Zhenli felt a bit envious. Perhaps it was the Japanese blood they inherited, but deep down, they still carried some of those cultural habits. For example, a woman's status at home was relatively low, and she was expected to listen to the man and take care of everything...

Cheng Yao pulled Ouyang Zhenli close, which turned her pale with fear. She thought he was about to do something inappropriate in front of her sister and Lu Mengyao.

"What are you thinking about? *Phew*..."

It tickled!

Ouyang Zhenli's ears turned burning red, her body stiffening. She said, "I was just thinking that being with you is very comfortable. There's no need to worry about so much; it's completely different from when we were in Japan. It's very free..."

"Just be relaxed at home. What era do you think we're living in?"

"Thank you..."

Cheng Yao let her go and stood up to open the door for the delivery. Lu Mengyao said with a smile, "Just be relaxed, there's no need for so much fuss."

Ouyang Aili was carefree, playing happily with the Ragdoll cats. The cats weren't afraid of strangers and were playing right along with her.

"The crawfish is here. Eat up, then wash up and go to sleep."

"Okay."

A glint of cunning flashed in Lu Mengyao's eyes. She had long since been molded by Cheng Yao; she didn't care how he wanted to play. In fact, she even found it a bit exciting. She noticed that Ouyang Zhenli seemed a bit resistant, but the more resistant she was, the more excited Lu Mengyao became. She really wanted to see what kind of posture she would take later.

Haha!

Lu Mengyao had developed a bit of a mischievous streak. Ouyang Aili sat next to Cheng Yao, with Lu Mengyao on his other side. Ouyang Zhenli sat opposite them, putting on gloves to peel the shrimp.

"Sister is always like this. No matter where she goes, she has to consider others' feelings first. Can't you just eat for yourself?" Ouyang Aili looked at the shrimp meat in the dish.

Cheng Yao thought that if Ouyang Zhenli wore a kimono, she would have the air of a Yamato Nadeshiko, and if she dressed in Hanfu, she would probably have that classical, elegant aura; her temperament was just too gentle. Lu Mengyao was innocent, Ouyang Aili was lively, and Ouyang Zhenli had carried gentleness to the extreme. She was resistant in words, but at critical moments, she was very gentle and knew how to take care of people... Cheng Yao was the one who had experienced it firsthand, so he had the right to say so. When it came to taking care of someone, it had to be Zhenli.

Ouyang Zhenli gave a subtle smile. "This is called manners."

Cheng Yao naturally ate the shrimp without hesitation before saying, "I can peel them myself. You should eat too. We aren't used to you doing this. Let's leave those Japanese customs behind."

"Okay, I understand."

As they ate and chatted, Ouyang Aili happily discussed where to go for fun, but after much thought, there really wasn't much to do in Jinling. Lu Mengyao smiled and said, "Stay in Jinling for a few days first. If you really want to go out, I'll take you traveling. I've been wanting to go out too, but I couldn't find anyone to go with."

Lu Mengyao glanced at Cheng Yao; this guy probably wouldn't accompany her on a trip.

"Traveling? Oh, that sounds great! Where to?"

"Have you ever been outside of Guangzhou?"

Ouyang Zhenli and Ouyang Aili looked at each other and shook their heads. Ever since they arrived in Guangzhou, they had only played around the local area. Coming to Jinling this time was already a long-distance trip for them.

Lu Mengyao nodded slightly. So, everyone was equally poor. Before she was with Cheng Yao, she had only stayed in Jinling and had basically never gone out to see the world; only with money did life truly become exciting.

"Let's go to Sanya. I happen to need to buy things at the duty-free shop."

"Sanya?"

Lu Mengyao nodded gently. "To see the sea."

Cheng Yao couldn't help but laugh. "You're telling them to go see the sea? They used to live by the seaside."

"It's different. Our seaside was the fishing kind. It's definitely not like a tourist spot. Sanya is the most beautiful seaside tourist city in the country, right?"

Lu Mengyao picked up a beer. "Cheers! Then it's Sanya."
