117: A bit weird

Xu Zhen had no idea that his reaction had actually alerted Zhang Bo.

At this moment, his entire focus was on appeasing the furious Chen Xiaoling.

"Are you f*cking crazy?"

"Didn't you say Zhang Bo would definitely have bad luck? What are you afraid of him for?"

"It's one thing for you to be a coward, but why did you drag me away?"

"You even apologized to Zhang Bo, now Zhang Bo must be laughing at us!"

Chen Xiaoling was seething with anger, pointing at Xu Zhen's nose and cursing.

Xu Zhen was also furious, but could only comfort her, "Zhang Bo will have terrible luck sooner or later. There's no need for us to confront him directly right now. We're porcelain, he's a tile; it's not appropriate to go head-to-head!"

"But you're too embarrassing!" Chen Xiaoling was still very dissatisfied.

"Just wait a little longer. In a few days, Zhang Bo will definitely be doomed!" Xu Zhen continued to persuade her.

"Wait, wait, wait, all you know is wait, just you wait!" Chen Xiaoling turned and left in a huff, not forgetting, of course, to take all the gifts Xu Zhen had just bought her.

"No..."

Xu Zhen was dumbfounded.

He'd bled a lot of money again today, and didn't even get to hold her hand!

What the hell...

On the other side, Zhang Bo and Qiu Yunxi sat down at a milk tea shop.

"You run, and you still drink high-calorie drinks like milk tea?"

Zhang Bo looked at Qiu Yunxi, who was happily sipping milk tea across from him, and asked with some curiosity.

"I'm exercising, not losing weight!" Qiu Yunxi said with a faint smile, "On the contrary, if the amount of exercise is too high, we actually need to actively consume high-calorie foods and drinks to supplement our own consumption."

"I see." Zhang Bo nodded.

Qiu Yunxi's gaze fell on Zhang Bo, her eyes flickering slightly, but she still couldn't help but ask, "Boss Zhang, that person just now was..."

"That woman is my ex-wife," Zhang Bo said frankly.

"Oh..." Qiu Yunxi pursed her lips. She actually wanted to ask more, but felt embarrassed.

"I was relatively poor before, so she divorced me and went with that man," Zhang Bo explained on his own initiative.

"Ah?" Qiu Yunxi was surprised. She hadn't expected that Zhang Bo had ever been poor.

But thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.

The first time she saw Zhang Bo, he was running, and he didn't even have a set of sportswear.

Qin Shutong and those people even thought he was shabby and looked down on him.

Before, Qiu Yunxi had felt a bit strange.

How could such a rich person dress so simply at first?

But now, the logical loop was closed.

Zhang Bo was poor before, so he had some simple habits, which is why he dressed so plainly.

"Then your experience is quite inspiring!" Qiu Yunxi looked at Zhang Bo with admiration.

Her own background was also very ordinary; her parents were both ordinary workers with meager incomes.

Her own academic performance wasn't good, but relying on her excellent athletic talent, she managed to get into a good university.

Now she makes money by being a running companion, also wanting to earn money herself to support herself as a professional runner.

Zhang Bo also started from scratch and is now so rich, he is exactly the role model she admires.

"It's alright." Zhang Bo smiled and changed the subject, "It's getting late, and you've worked hard today, accompanying me to buy so many things. Let me treat you to dinner. What do you want to eat?"

"You've given me such a good job, I should be treating you!" Qiu Yunxi quickly said, "Come to my place, try my cooking!"

Originally, she didn't dare to bring Zhang Bo home again.

But since Nan Yi had agreed, she invited Zhang Bo.

She really wanted to treat him to a meal to thank him for his care.

However, eating out was too expensive, and to be honest, she was a bit reluctant to spend that much money.

If she treated him to something cheap, she was afraid it would lower Zhang Bo's standing.

So, she invited Zhang Bo home.

Cooking herself was the best way to express her sincerity and save money.

"Alright, I must try that!"

Zhang Bo immediately agreed.

At this moment, he felt that this world was a bit mystical.

Last time he went shopping with Li Bingxuan, he met Xu Zhen and Chen Xiaoling, and as a result, he bound Li Bingxuan that night.

However, that was due to the temporary favorability boost from the system.

Today, he was also out shopping with a girl and then met Xu Zhen and Chen Xiaoling.

As a result, without any system intervention, Qiu Yunxi proactively invited him home.

This... was a bit eerie!

Of course, even if he felt it was eerie, he still had to agree.

If a young girl invited him home and he refused, it would be a bit insensitive.

"Then let's go back!"

Qiu Yunxi stood up, and Zhang Bo also rose.

Then the two returned together to the shared apartment of Qiu Yunxi and Nan Yi.

"Boss Zhang, please have a seat. I'll be in the kitchen."

After arriving home, Qiu Yunxi settled Zhang Bo in and then went to the kitchen to get busy.

After Zhang Bo sat down, he casually looked around. It seemed no one else was there; Qiu Yunxi's roommate should not have returned yet.

He was bored and prepared to scroll through short videos on his phone.

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. Just as he thought of Qiu Yunxi's roommate, she returned.

There was the sound of a key in the lock outside, then the door opened, and a young woman in a business suit, looking a bit haggard, walked in.

Zhang Bo looked at her and immediately felt a little amazed.

Nan Yi's looks were very striking, and her figure was also good. In her business suit, she had the air of a professional female white-collar worker.

The reason he felt amazed wasn't because Nan Yi was much prettier than Qiu Yunxi.

In fact, at their level, it was impossible to distinguish who was more beautiful; it was just that their styles of beauty were different.

Zhang Bo felt amazed because this ordinary shared apartment, with two tenants, actually housed two such beautiful women.

And Nan Yi, seeing Zhang Bo, paused for a moment, then quickly reacted, realizing that Zhang Bo must be Qiu Yunxi's big boss.

Nan Yi's beauty was an extremely refined beauty, an absolutely stunning urbanite, with a slightly aggressive look.

When she was in school, she was known as the aloof goddess.

But at this moment, having guessed Zhang Bo's identity in her heart, she proactively spoke, "Hello, you must be Yunxi's client, Boss Zhang, right? I'm her roommate. My name is Nan Yi."

"My name is Zhang Bo." Zhang Bo nodded and said, "Your name is very pleasant to hear."

Upon hearing this, Nan Yi's exquisitely beautiful face showed a faint smile, and she softly said, "Thank you."

Zhang Bo nodded and said nothing more.

After all, they weren't familiar, so there wasn't much to talk about.

A mutual greeting to fulfill basic courtesy was sufficient.

Awkward small talk when not familiar was quite meaningless, and Zhang Bo had no intention of striking up a conversation.

The best course of action now was for Zhang Bo to continue playing on his phone, and for Nan Yi to go back to her room.

Everyone would be happy.

But Nan Yi paused briefly in the living room, her gaze fixed on Zhang Bo. After realizing that Zhang Bo had no interest in talking, she pursed her lips and then said,

"Um... I'll go to my room to tidy up a bit and be right out."

Zhang Bo immediately looked at Nan Yi again, his head full of question marks: "???"
