Chapter 61: Anbi in a White Dress

With every step Anbi took on the stairs, her white dress rustled with a sound like high heels striking wood.

Paired with her expressionless face, she resembled a cold, beautiful fairy descending from heaven, her sacred and noble aura fully revealed.

From the moment Ye Ye Qingfeng saw her, he could not tear his eyes away, quietly watching her until she stood before him.

"Ye Qingfeng? What are you looking at?" Anbi waved her hand in front of Ye Ye Qingfeng's eyes, tilted her head, and asked blankly, "Can we go now?"

"This is the first time I've seen you wear this type of clothing..."

Ye Ye Qingfeng subconsciously increased the distance between himself and Anbi, swallowed hard, and pointed with trembling fingers at the white dress on her body.

Ever since he first met Anbi, she had mostly worn short black skirts or pants; he never expected such a drastic change just from switching to a white dress!

What he wanted to say was that Anbi's aura at this moment was so stunning it took his breath away.

If forced to describe Anbi's current aura, he could only compare it to the feeling of first love.

"Nico told me to wear this." Anbi blinked and said lightly, "She said she bought this dress so long ago but never saw me wear it, and letting it gather dust in the wardrobe was too wasteful, so she told me to wear it today when going out with Ye Qingfeng."

"Then why didn't you wear this dress before, Anbi?"

Ye Ye Qingfeng voiced the question in his heart.

"Because this was the first thing Nico ever gave me!" Anbi's expression suddenly turned serious and earnest as she answered, "Also, the last time I wore this out with Nico, we encountered robbers; although I defeated them without much trouble, the dress got stained."

"It took a lot of effort to clean it afterward." Anbi suddenly seemed to remember something, reached out to hook her arm through Ye Ye Qingfeng's, and added, "Nico also said I should stick close to you like this; if anything happens to this dress, Ye Qingfeng will have to pay for it."

Anbi's sudden approach brought a faint fragrance, and the softness he felt against his arm momentarily distracted him.

Ye Ye Qingfeng, who had always felt nothing special toward Anbi, now found his heart beating uncontrollably fast, his breathing becoming rapid, and his body freezing rigid against his will.

"How much... how many Ding Ni for this dress?"

Despite everything, Ye Ye Qingfeng still needed to confirm a certain matter; he felt things were not that simple.

"Nico said 500,000 Ding Ni." Sensing Ye Ye Qingfeng's stiff body and the sudden rise in temperature, Anbi answered his question then asked softly with confusion, "Ye Qingfeng, your body is so hot; are you feeling unwell?"

"How... how much?"

Ye Ye Qingfeng had been slightly shy from Anbi's sudden attack, but upon hearing the price of the dress, his shyness vanished instantly, replaced by towering rage.

Wasn't this treating him like a pure sucker!

"500,000 Ding Ni." Thinking Ye Ye Qingfeng hadn't heard clearly, Anbi repeated it expressionlessly.

What trick is Sister Nico playing again!

He didn't quite understand what purpose Nico had in staging this; could she really expect him to pay 500,000 Ding Ni?

The crucial point was that he actually could!

"Sigh... let's go." Ye Ye Qingfeng let out a heavy sigh, stood up, and walked toward the door, not forgetting to ask Anbi beside him, "Did Sister Nico say anything else?"

"No."

As Anbi, arm-in-arm with Ye Ye Qingfeng, was led forward, she suddenly turned her head upon exiting the room and saw Nico at the stairwell making a V-sign at her.

Anbi slowly raised her left hand to her face and made a V-sign in return.

Feeling the pull from Ye Ye Qingfeng, she then closed the door and followed him out onto the street.

While she was halfway through changing clothes in the room, Nico had suddenly burst in, wordlessly pulled this dress from her wardrobe, and told her to put it on.

Anbi had no choice but to take off the clothes she was halfway into putting on and change into the dress Nico handed her.

Revealing a back of ice-like skin and jade-like bones as she removed her clothes, she paid no heed to the wide eyes staring at her from the side and slowly put on the pristine white dress.

Looking at Anbi now, Nico nodded satisfactorily and said with deep emotion, "Anbi, you wouldn't want to stop eating Ye Qingfeng's hamburgers in the future, would you!"

Anbi:?!!

"I suspect Ye Qingfeng has been bewitched by Billy and is at risk of leaving Cunning Hare..." Before Nico could finish speaking, she saw Anbi's sharp gaze as she picked up her knife, so she immediately rushed over to grab her, "Wait! Hold on! It's just a suspicion right now, understand? There's no evidence yet."

"No need... I'll just go chop Billy up and solve the problem!"

Anbi continued forward regardless of objections, which made things difficult for Nico, who was holding her back and ended up sliding along the floor being dragged by her.

The most important people, things, and foods to Anbi were Nico, movies, and hamburgers.

Now living at Cunning Hare, she could see Nico every day; as for movies, she could watch them whenever she wanted; and finally, hamburgers!

The hamburgers she ate before couldn't compare at all to those made by Ye Qingfeng; if she used to just like eating hamburgers, she now loved the many delicacies he made even more, though among those delicacies, hamburgers remained her favorite.

As long as Ye Qingfeng was around, she could keep eating delicious hamburgers, and the money originally used to buy hamburgers could instead be used to watch two more movies.

Thus, going round and round like this, her happy life had finally begun!

But now learning that Billy intended to destroy her happy life—could she tolerate that?!

"Calm down, Anbi! I've already thought of a solution!"

Nico hurriedly soothed Anbi, who had suddenly become single-minded in her goal; although she didn't know why things had turned out this way, the current situation did not allow her to drag things out any longer.

No matter what, she couldn't just let Anbi chop up Billy! That would be... too wasteful!

Even an idiot could tell which was more valuable: a pile of scrap metal or a complete combat robot.

Besides, she only wanted to deduct a few months of Billy's salary! She really didn't intend to kill him to silence him!

If Billy knew the current situation, he would be so anxious he'd start talking! Oh... he could already talk anyway...

"What solution?"

Anbi suddenly stopped walking, slowly turned her head, and put on the most serious expression she had ever made.

"Just do as I say! I guarantee Ye Qingfeng will stay devoted to Cunning Hare for the rest of his life!"

Nico leaned close to Anbi, curled the corner of her mouth, and whispered in her ear, "Think about it: is there anything Ye Qingfeng particularly likes or cares about?"

Anbi ran through everything Ye Ye Qingfeng might like in her mind at top speed:

Hamburgers? Eliminated! Movies? Eliminated! Nico? Tentative!

Ding Ni? Hmm?!

"Ding Ni!"

Anbi reviewed everything she liked and everything Nico liked in her mind, finally concluding that the possibility of Ye Ye Qingfeng liking Ding Ni was higher.

"That makes sense... who doesn't like Ding Ni..." Nico's eyes lit up, then quickly dimmed again. "The problem is we don't have any Ding Ni!!"
