A waitress arrives at a villa to deliver a suit for Ye Chen, but the security guard is initially uncooperative. Ye Chen, having no clothes after a shower, has the waitress hand the phone to the guard, who then allows her entry. Upon arrival at the villa, the waitress encounters Zhang Yuan, the actual resident, who lets her in. Ye Chen emerges from the bathroom wrapped only in a towel, causing both Zhang Yuan and the waitress to be flustered by his appearance, and he has to take the suit himself.

Ye Chen walked up to Zhang Yuan and Lisa, smiling, and said, "Have you seen enough? It’ll cost you more if you keep looking."

With just that sentence, the two of their faces turned even redder, feeling like their faces were burning hot.

Zhang Yuan and Lisa quickly averted their gazes.

"Miss Zhang, could you please find me a bag? I need to pack some clothes, thank you," Ye Chen said as he looked at Zhang Yuan.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuan quickly ran off, feeling truly embarrassed. She had never been in such a situation before.

Seeing Ye Chen leave her there, Lisa’s heart started pounding like there were seven or eight little deer dashing around inside.

"Hello, I don’t know your name yet. It seems like we’ve met before," Ye Chen said with a smile to the female attendant in front of him.

He had the impression that the two had met before, perhaps just now at the counter, since when he was buying clothes, many female attendants were standing there.

"Mr. Ye, my name is Han Ying, and I was the one who attended to you when you bought your first suit," Lisa said with a tense expression.

It was the first time she had ever told a customer her real name; generally, the sales ladies would give themselves nice-sounding English names to tell customers when asked.

The reason she told Ye Chen her real name was that she wanted to have further interaction with him.

"Oh, I remember now," Ye Chen said with a smile.

Then he continued, "I’m really sorry to trouble you with a delivery; how should I pay, by card or transfer?"

"Either is fine," Lisa said softly.

"Alright, I’ll transfer the money to you, let’s add each other on Weixun," Ye Chen said with a smile.

Hearing Ye Chen say this, Lisa’s expression became even more excited; she hadn’t expected Ye Chen to proactively suggest adding her on WeChat.

"Ah, he wants to add me on WeChat, does it mean he’s interested in me?" Lisa was wildly imagining in her mind.

Seeing the girl in front of him not taking out her phone, Ye Chen reminded her, "You need to take out your phone so we can add each other on WeChat."

Upon hearing this, Lisa quickly took out her phone, opened her Weixun QR code business card, and let Ye Chen scan it. Just like that, the two added each other as friends.

"Okay, I transferred the money to you, please check it," Ye Chen said while waving his phone.

"Okay," Lisa nodded, but she did not check as Ye Chen suggested, because she trusts this man.

Zhang Yuan, holding a bag, looked at the man and woman chatting, and for some reason, she felt a surge of jealousy in her heart.

"What’s wrong with me, why am I jealous of this salesgirl?" Zhang Yuan thought to herself.

She was aware that she was very wealthy, far surpassing this salesgirl, yet she was very jealous of her.

Zhang Yuan knew it was because she also wanted to chat freely with Ye Chen like the salesgirl.

Ye Chen saw Zhang Yuan standing still, not moving forward, and pointed to the bag in her hand, saying, "Thank you."

But Zhang Yuan remained unresponsive, seemingly lost in her thoughts, which made Ye Chen a bit annoyed.

Ye Chen tried to take the bag, but found it was being tightly held by Zhang Yuan, leaving him in a bind.

He thought about how he’d encountered two women today who seemed bewitched and absent-minded.

Who could he blame for this, if not Ye Chen himself for being too handsome and tempting?

"Miss Zhang, Miss Zhang," Lisa called out several times.

Upon hearing the call, Zhang Yuan snapped back to reality.

She took a few steps forward and handed the bag to Ye Chen, saying, "Here you go."

Ye Chen took the bag and nodded, then turned around and headed towards the bathroom, where his suit was still lying quietly.

At this moment, only Zhang Yuan and Lisa were left in the living room, facing each other with awkwardness, as both women had simultaneously developed a liking for the same man.

"Mr. Ye, I’ll be leaving now. You can call me anytime if there are any issues," Lisa said, looking towards the bathroom with some reluctance.

Then she nodded towards Zhang Yuan and turned to leave.

"Wait for me, I’ll give you a ride back," Ye Chen said, carrying the bag with his suit as he walked out of the bathroom.

Lisa never dreamed Ye Chen would say something like this; Zhang Yuan also showed a jealous expression upon hearing it.

Zhang Yuan felt that Ye Chen likely had feelings for the salesgirl, but she couldn’t understand why, despite being so excellent herself, she’d been outdone by a salesgirl. It made her very dissatisfied.

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, Lisa’s feet seemed glued to the ground, unable to move an inch.

"Miss Zhang, if you’re satisfied, don’t forget to give a Five-Star Review," Ye Chen said with a smile.

Then he glanced at Lisa and said, "Let’s go."

Lisa followed Ye Chen out, but Zhang Yuan didn’t say anything.

The two arrived at the sports car, and Ye Chen put the bag in the car, then very gentlemanly opened the car door for Lisa.

Lisa got in. This was her first time sitting in such a luxury car.

Ye Chen walked around the front of the car and got in, quickly started the car.

The cool sports car sped away under Zhang Yuan’s envious and jealous gaze, driving further and further until it disappeared from view, and Zhang Yuan dejectedly returned inside, collapsing on the sofa.

This was the first time she’d liked a man, but she realized the one Ye Chen liked wasn’t her.

In fact, Ye Chen didn’t like either of these two women; the one in his heart was Su Wanyi.

The security guard saw the sports car driving away and hurriedly pressed the button to let it pass. Seeing the salesgirl inside, he thought to himself, "So this is how rich people date girls nowadays."

Lisa also noticed the security guard’s attitude towards Ye Chen and thought he must be the owner of the place. Otherwise, why would the guard be so respectful?

But hearing Ye Chen and Zhang Yuan’s conversation, she was a bit unsure.

"Mr. Ye, can I ask you a question?" Lisa said hesitantly.

"Sure, ask away. Also, just call me Ye Chen," Ye Chen said.

Hearing this, Lisa was very happy. Since Ye Chen had allowed her to change how she addressed him, it meant their relationship had progressed and was no longer just that of a customer and salesgirl, but now friends.

Only friends call each other by their first names; typically, relationships move from friends to lovers.

Thinking of this, Lisa felt a rush of excitement, believing Ye Chen truly had interest in her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t allow her to call him so casually.

Thinking about being with such a handsome man like Ye Chen as a couple made Lisa very happy, even thrilled.

She wasn’t someone who loved money; it was mainly that Ye Chen gave her a very good feeling, like her ideal type of boyfriend.
