Chapter 422: Chapter 205 It’s Time to Activate the Money-Making Ability_2

Actually, she was asking if she could shower with Pan Ge. She wondered if Boss Han had any strange taboos.

Han Lie waved his hand helplessly. "Go ahead, take care of each other and don’t fall."

There was no need to remind her of anything else; Liang Xiaowu was very clever.

After the two had quickly finished showering and come out, Han Lie finally found an opportunity to ask Pan Ge, "How did you know Chen Yanfei’s birthday is the day after tomorrow?"

"I’ve found out quite a lot of things..." Pan Ge winked playfully, giving Han Lie a seductive smile. Her voice became sultry as she said, "Little Lie Lie, is there any special information you particularly want to know?"

Han Lie scoffed, "If I actually wanted to be with her, what would you have to do with it now?"

This kind of explanation would normally be quite convincing, but unfortunately, Pan Ge was becoming increasingly difficult to fool.

"Who knows what you’re planning? Playing the long game to catch a big fish? Unsatisfied with just one at a time? Planning a solo showdown with her during the holidays? Brother Lie, your humble servant truly cannot guess!"

Fuck!

This game is too damn hard, Han Lie thought. It’s like Pan Ge maxed out her ability to see things from my perspective, then stumbled upon some "Sea King’s Heart Sutra" in a hidden sect, mastered its unparalleled techniques, and is now knocking out little kids with a single punch.

I’m no kid, but getting slapped in the face like this still stings, he mused.

The shameless man gritted his teeth, deciding to play rogue.

"I’m not thinking about much else right now; my mind is too full. Want to help me empty it a bit? As for other people and other matters, let’s discuss them slowly once we’ve relaxed, alright?"

Pan Ge understood. She raised her chin high and shot him a proud glance. "Hmph!"

Concise and to the point, her message was clear.

Without waiting for Han Lie to try and stop her, she turned and headed for the door.

As she passed Liang Wu, she said with a teasing smile, "Senior Liang, I’ll leave the task of clearing Department Manager Han’s mind to you. Are you confident?"

Even the sharp-witted senior was stumped; she was completely stunned.

This had nothing to do with intelligence, only with status.

Pan Ge was the boss’s lady, while Liang Wu was just a little assistant, naturally a step below. How could she possibly contend?!

She genuinely didn’t know how to respond, so she just smiled and took half a step back. This is between you two; don’t drag me into it, she decided. I’ll see nothing, hear nothing, ignore it, and ask nothing.

If Boss Han had given her a signal, she would have definitely braced herself and stepped up.

Since he didn’t, it’s none of my business, she concluded.

This wasn’t just survival wisdom; it was also a clever way to avoid causing trouble for her boss.

Han Lie tentatively asked, "If you don’t leave with me now, where will you track me down tomorrow?"

"Tch!" Pan Ge scoffed disdainfully. "As if I’m that desperate for you."

Han Lie’s worries instantly vanished.

Thank goodness, Han Lie thought with relief. She just wanted to give me a verbal dressing-down, not actually stage a royal showdown with Chen Yanfei. Otherwise, if she just followed me to the hotel and settled in, I wouldn’t be able to go anywhere tomorrow. It’s not a question of stamina, but the problem of disengaging once she has me cornered. Get it?

But Pan Ge didn’t actually do that.

Watching Pan Ge, who carried herself more like a queen with every passing day, leave without a single backward glance, Brother Lie heaved a massive sigh of relief.

Phew, muddled through another day! 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Sigh, this is so hard...

Actually, Han Lie knew perfectly well that Pan Ge would eventually confront Chen Yanfei face-to-face; she just wasn’t ready yet.

Once she found an opportunity, she would immediately stir up a storm!

But that’s not today, so who cares!

"Let’s go, take me back to the hotel," Han Lie said to Liang Wu.

He gestured to Secretary Liang, followed Pan Ge out the door, and watched her get into her family’s car. He then stood there like a husband pining for his departing wife, gazing until the vehicle vanished into the distance.

Having put on a show of being the filial son-in-law and devoted husband, Han Lie, unsure how effective his performance had been, finally turned his thoughts to Chen Yanfei’s birthday.

"I’m done with my work. How are you preparing for tomorrow?"

Guardian: "Nothing special planned. I want to try an escape room downtown, then maybe watch a movie and grab dinner... Oh, and it’ll be crowded tomorrow evening. I get along pretty well with my classmates, so if you think it’s too much trouble, you don’t have to come."

ToughGuy: "How could that be? For your birthday, no amount of effort is a bother."

Guardian: "Haha! So you plan to stay with me all day, until the very end?"

ToughGuy: "I’ll stay until you fall asleep!"

Guardian: "You wish! I don’t need you to accompany me to bed; I have my Xiang Xiang."

ToughGuy: "You two together are just a complete waste..."

After a moment, Chen Yanfei replied: "Xiang Xiang says you’re a huge pervert!"

Damn!

Han Lie stopped teasing her and turned to provoke Ding Xiang: "I am not a pervert!"

Ding Xiang replied with three smirking emojis.

What followed was a chaotic three-way chat that continued until nearly 11 o’clock, at which point both girls logged off for bed at the same time.

Han Lie immediately sent messages to Wang Tianqing and Wanwan respectively: "Sleepless in the dead of night, Our heart is restless. Do Our beloved concubines have a remedy?"

Wang Tianqing: "Your Concubine Tian will immediately go and relieve Your Majesty’s boredom~~~"

Wanwan: "Your Majesty, this concubine fears she alone might not suffice... Shall I call for Wanwan? Or perhaps find another for you?"

Han Lie replied to Wang Tianqing: "Approved!"

To Wanwan, he replied: "Hmm? You have quite a selection on hand?"

Wanwan immediately sent a flood of girls’ selfies. They featured all sorts of attire and poses. The main difference was that those who were more dressed revealed their faces, while those who didn’t show their faces struck more alluring poses.

Han Lie counted; there were no less than ten girls.

Overwhelmed... he thought.

Brother Lie wasn’t actually tempted, but he was extremely curious. "Where did these come from? Do you have another side gig?"

Wanwan replied, "No, these are premium beauties sourced by a nightclub promoter I’m on good terms with. I quietly added them on WeChat when I was out partying with them."
