I’ve already rented an apartment. I’m obviously planning to be in Chengdu for the long haul, so we’ll have plenty of time to spend together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that Qi Sheng had rented an apartment in advance made Tan Hua feel even more reassured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, how much is the rent for that apartment you got?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Hua had heard of National Gold Mansion before. It was one of IFS’s properties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said that the residents there were all expatriate executives from Fortune 500 companies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True upper-class elites, with 24-hour butler service.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"20,000 a month, utilities and property management fees included. The parking spot is another 2,000 a month.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That expensive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Hua hadn’t expected Qi Sheng to be so extravagant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Renting an apartment for over 20,000 a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, with that in mind, want to move in with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng extended the invitation with a smile, clearly testing the waters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it. I haven’t been in my own rented apartment for long, and moving is too much of a hassle. Besides, I’d lose my security deposit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Hua hesitated for a moment but still didn’t accept Qi Sheng’s invitation to live together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, you could come over for a nap during your lunch breaks. It’s so close, and it’d be convenient for you to head back if anything comes up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng pressed on, not giving up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’As long as Tan Hua gets used to staying at my apartment during lunch,’ he thought, ’it’s only a matter of time before she starts staying the night, too.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm... I’ll think about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Hua didn’t have the heart to refuse Qi Sheng again; after all, he meant well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, National Gold Mansion was extremely close to the mall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would indeed be very convenient to go over for a short rest at noon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wouldn’t be so tired for work in the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the dishes were brought to the table, the bright red hot pot base began to boil, releasing an enticing aroma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them dropped the subject and began to eat and drink happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thousand-layer tripe, brought out by the waiter on a dustpan-like tray, left Qi Sheng utterly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just so incredibly satisfying; the portion was shockingly large.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stuffing himself with tripe to his heart’s content was a first for Qi Sheng. He instantly felt that this trip was well worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating and drinking their fill, the two of them didn’t waste anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of it ended up in Qi Sheng’s stomach, completing his personal \"Clean Plate Challenge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go. We’ll head to my place first. You can go back tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Hua paid the bill, feeling a little nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time she had ever brought a man back to her place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her heart, she already considered Qi Sheng her boyfriend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike other girls, she had no intention of stringing people along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She either didn’t date at all, or she was completely open and honest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phew...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at her front door, Tan Hua grew even more nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng was carrying several shopping bags, planning to borrow Tan Hua’s washing machine in a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I have to wash the clothes I just bought before wearing them,’ he thought. ’Especially the underwear. Who knows what kind of germs are on them.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t have any men’s slippers at home, so you’ll have to make do, ’kay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Hua bent over and took out a pair of soft, pink women’s slippers from the shoe cabinet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She burst out laughing when she saw they were way too small for Qi Sheng’s size 44 feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng didn’t mind at all, curiously sizing up the apartment Tan Hua was renting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was less than 30 square meters, but with a vanity, bed, wardrobe, and TV, it was fully equipped and rather nicely furnished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The rent must be 3,000 a month, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is. With rent, utilities, and internet, it’s about 3,200 a month.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Hua quickly tidied up the magazines and snacks on the coffee table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Looking at the sofa, which is less than 1.5 meters long, it’s obviously too small for Qi Sheng to sleep on,’ she realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your base salary must be pretty high then, otherwise you couldn’t afford an apartment like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My base salary is seven thousand. With commission, it’s usually over ten thousand a month. If my performance is good, it can even be over twenty thousand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng sat on the sofa, resting his head on one armrest, watching Tan Hua’s gracefully curved figure as she tidied up the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I really haven’t been inside a single woman’s bedroom very often,’ he mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll throw the clothes you bought into the washing machine first. After they’re done, I’ll hang them out to dry. I don’t have a dryer, but luckily summer clothes dry fast, so you can wear them tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Tan Hua took the clothes and shorts out of the shopping bags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the brand-new underwear, she set it aside, planning to hand-wash it later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s not like Qi Sheng has already worn them, so I don’t really mind.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In that case, could I trouble you to wash what I’m wearing, too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Qi Sheng pulled off his T-shirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop! If you take off anything else, I’m kicking you out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Hua hadn’t expected Qi Sheng to be so bold. Blushing, she gave him an embarrassed and annoyed glare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If I hadn’t stopped him in time, that jerk would have stripped completely naked!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his Physique raised to 69, Qi Sheng’s body had improved quite a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For someone who was 5’11\", 187 pounds was no longer considered overweight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pectoral muscles were quite developed, and his abs were faintly visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a huge improvement over the potbelly he used to have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, you shower first, and I’ll go after?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’d better stop,’ Qi Sheng quickly thought. ’I definitely don’t want to end up staying in a hotel. Having a girlfriend and not getting to hold her? That would be incredibly stupid.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I’ll shower first. And you’re not allowed to strip naked.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I really shouldn’t have brought Qi Sheng home,’ Tan Hua suddenly realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Tan Hua grab a bath towel and hurry into the bathroom, Qi Sheng started humming happily. He felt quite content, enjoying the cool blast of the air conditioner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Girls take a long time to shower to begin with, and on top of that, Tan Hua was feeling quite conflicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost an hour later, Tan Hua shyly stepped out of the bathroom, her long, fair legs on display.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>GULP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the beauty emerge from her bath, Qi Sheng instantly swallowed hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the quiet room, the sound was all too clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, two rosy patches appeared on Tan Hua’s ethereally beautiful face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyebrows were long and slender, her nose delicate and straight, and her snow-white collarbones were undeniably sexy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her full chest was tightly concealed by a white bath towel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below the hem, a pair of slender, fair legs were revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her ten toes, like translucent jade, looked incredibly alluring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was safe to say that Tan Hua’s looks and figure perfectly matched Qi Sheng’s standards for a partner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tell me, faced with a great beauty who had just stepped out of the shower, what man could possibly remain calm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng, in any case, couldn’t. With a single long stride, he pulled Tan Hua, who was like a startled rabbit, directly into his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huahua, you’re so beautiful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that said, Qi Sheng lowered his head and kissed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmph...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Hua shot Qi Sheng a look, realizing she had led the wolf right into her house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her incomparably beautiful, delicate face was flushed with an alluring crimson, and her moist eyes looked as if they were about to overflow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her pair of fair arms wrapped gently around her boyfriend’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awkward yet passionate, she cooperated with him, savoring the sweetness of their new love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room was silent, save for the sound of the air conditioner blowing cold air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the occasional, barely audible, rapid gasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng took a deep breath and let go of the breathless Tan Hua, feeling as if his own body was about to explode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haa... I’m going to take a shower.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, Qi Sheng quickly ran into the bathroom, afraid he’d truly lose control otherwise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What’s the point if only one person is having fun?’ he thought. ’Tan Hua is my first-ever girlfriend, and a top-tier beauty with both looks and a great body at that. I’m willing to give her the utmost respect.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jerk. Serves you right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Qi Sheng flee in disarray, Tan Hua actually laughed quite happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If Qi Sheng had insisted on taking me to bed, my feelings for him would have plummeted. But he managed to hold back; he obviously remembered our agreement. He wouldn’t touch me until I consented.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This feeling of being respected made the corners of Tan Hua’s lips curve up in a smile she couldn’t hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her affection for Qi Sheng deepened a little more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man who was willing to respect her, and was excellent in every other way—it would be hard for any girl not to be moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Qi Sheng came out of the bathroom, he was only wearing a pair of boxer shorts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fit, strong body was on full display before Tan Hua’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exhibitionist! Get under the covers, quick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Hua rolled her eyes at Qi Sheng and tossed his discarded T-shirt and shorts into the washing machine along with the other clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She skillfully poured in the laundry detergent and set the timer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she patiently hand-washed the underwear he had taken off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Since I’ve decided to date Qi Sheng, I won’t shy away from a girlfriend’s duties.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, while Qi Sheng was in the shower, Tan Hua had already changed into her pajamas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’To prevent a certain someone’s roaming hands, I’d better wear a bra underneath.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng gave Tan Hua a playfully wounded look. ’Where’s the trust between people?’ he mused. ’Honestly, I just wanted to inspect the future nutritional supply for my son. I really didn’t have any bad intentions.’\u003C\u002Fp>",1719,"2026-06-03T03:29:35.555Z","2026-06-03T03:29:39.083Z",1,"novelbin.me","661ff9d78be5b4391e65004c7a55c4105ac008e5fa3ba5d4e99061bb3bef1489","tycoon-i-have-an-unlimited-modifier-chapter-20","tycoon-i-have-an-unlimited-modifier-chapter-18",116,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftycoon-i-have-an-unlimited-modifier-cover.jpg"]
