Chapter 40: One Word Settles the Matter? Because she had something on her mind, Luo Xiaotong woke up Lang Siyu before dawn: "Siyu jie, it's almost daylight, you should head back."

  Lang Siyu opened his eyes and took a look outside, knowing that he couldn't wait for the sun to rise before leaving the door, or else something might happen. He wanted to entwine with Luo Xiaotong again. At first, Luo Xiaotong thought so too, but soon restrained himself - if they did it three times in one night and didn't collapse from exhaustion, that would be strange. If there was nothing going on during the day, or after a nap, maybe it could be done, but not today. He had promised Chen Hua something and he must do it.

  So Luo Xiaotong hugged her for a while, saying that he couldn't take it anymore and would lose his life if they continued. Lang Siyu saw him like this and didn't dare to ask for more, saying that she had to call him if something came up, although they couldn't date anymore, but they still had to keep in touch. Luo Xiaotong agreed readily, hugged Lang Siyu and sent her off to the car, watching as she disappeared at the gate before returning to the house.

  It's been a long time since Lang Siyu and I haven't met, but that's not the point. What's important now is to get Xiaoye out and make Chen Hua trust me more. But looking at the time, it's only 5 o'clock, and I don't know if Xiaoye has turned on her phone yet, so I might as well sleep for a while longer.

  He opened his eyes again, and it was already after 8 o'clock. He quickly got up, picked up the phone, and dialed Xiaoye's number in a flurry. She woke up late, and Xiaoye was even later, still lying in bed, asking him in a drowsy voice why he was calling so early. Luo Xiaotong heard her voice, half asleep and half awake, with an inexplicable temptation, his heart couldn't help but tremble. However, he quickly calmed down, this wasn't the reaction he should have had. Although she and Chen Hua's eight characters weren't aligned yet, Chen Hua already treated her as his woman, and thinking like that was going against Chen Hua. If Chen Hua found out, it wouldn't be good for him. Besides, Xiaoye didn't have those feelings towards him either, unlike Lang Siyu. Thinking this calmed his mind, he told Xiaoye that there was nothing important today, but he wanted to meet up with her and asked if she had time. Xiaoye heard this and felt strange: "Why do you suddenly want to ask me out?" Luo Xiaotong had already thought of a strategy: "Last time you asked me out, this time it's my turn to return the favor, isn't that okay?"

  Actually, last time it was Xiaoye who invited us, but in reality, the bill was paid by Luoxiaotong. Xiaoye is not stupid and understood that this was just an excuse made up by Luoxiaotong. Anyway, I had nothing to do during this period of time, so I might as well go along with it. When Luoxiaotong asked me, I readily agreed: "Okay, where are we going?"

  Lu Xiaotong only thought of this now, that he had neglected the issue. The location, after all, was not something he could decide on his own, it should be Chen Hua who decides, and he couldn't take matters into his own hands. So with a smile, he said to Xiao Ye, "This, wait a bit, let me think carefully." How about this, you hang up first, I'll tell you after I've thought it through.

  He hung up the phone and hastily looked for Chen Hua. Unexpectedly, Chen Hua had gone wild in the city all night and was still in a hotel room with a woman in his arms. If it weren't for Luo Xiaotong's reminder, he would have forgotten about this matter altogether. Upon hearing Luo Xiaotong's question, he suddenly remembered and asked if Xiao Ye had agreed?

  Lu Xiaotong deliberately wanted to show Chen Hua that he could control Xiao Ye, although Chen Hua couldn't see him, he patted his chest and said: "I haven't contacted Xiao Ye yet, but don't worry, Mayor, I'll definitely let you see her."

  Chen Hua couldn't help but admire Luo Xiaotong, White Old Wan had helped to arrange a few meetings that were all rejected. Who would have thought that an unknown small figure could make such bold and grand statements? He chuckled: "Xiaotong, can you really do it?"

  "Don't worry, Town Chief. Just tell me the location and I'll make sure to bring Little Ye right before your eyes." Luo Xiaotong said with increasing excitement, his words filled with conviction.

  "Since it's the first meeting, we should make it a big deal. Alright, little Tong, you bring her to the city and put her up at the Longhe Hotel," Chen Hua said while getting dressed, "But don't go telling her I didn't come home last night, or things will be ruined."

  Luo Xiaotong was very dissatisfied in his heart. If Chen Hua really liked and fell in love with Xiao Ye, he shouldn't have played around with women anymore. Moreover, they had agreed to set them up today, but he went out and fooled around all night. By doing this, he was openly pushing Xiao Ye into the fire pit. He had read so many books over the years, yet he wanted to do such a despicable thing, truly wasting the teachings of the sages. However, this couldn't be blamed on him. In these times, if one didn't look out for oneself, heaven and earth would destroy them. Moreover, he was just trying to make arrangements, whether it succeeded or not depended on Xiao Ye's own decision.

  Xiao Ye, you and I are not related by blood, you're not my real sister. If this thing works out, you'll have made a contribution to me too, and I'll remember your good deeds. Luo Xiao Tong thought to himself, smiling as he said to Chen Hua: "Don't worry, Mayor, I know what I'm doing."

  Things are settled, Chen Hua asked Luo Xiaotong to hurry up, and they should arrive around 10 o'clock. Luo Xiaotong said yes, but how are we going, by bus?

  Chen Hua said, "That won't do. Although on the surface it's you who invited her, in reality it's me, Chen Hua. I, Chen Hua, invite a girl I like, how can that be so casual? Taking a taxi, riding in a rental car. Didn't I give you money? Use that money."

  Lu Xiaotong was unhappy when he said that. You gave me the money as a commission, it already belongs to me, I didn't expect you to ask me to take it out again. He was discontented in his heart, but had no way to say anything, so he just repeatedly agreed.

  Hung up the phone, couldn't help but scold a few times, finally still restrained anger, called Xiaoye back and told her to go to the city. Xiaoye didn't think so at all, heard that she was going to the city, half-believing and half-doubting: "Really? Why do this, you'll be spending a lot of money."

  Lu Xiaotong thought to himself, "Of course it's a waste of money, but this can also be considered as 'borrowing flowers to offer Buddha'." He chuckled and said, "Treating beautiful women to dinner is worth the expense. You wait at home, I'll get a car at 9 o'clock and come pick you up myself."

  Xiaoye laughed: "Little Tong, you're getting too familiar, with a smooth tongue." The conversation took a turn: "But seriously, Little Tong, don't bring the car to my house, or my mom will get suspicious. If things go wrong, she won't let me go out anymore. She says people like you from the town government are unreliable."

  Lu Xiaotong thought to herself: "My mom was right, these people are really unreliable."

  "Then where should I wait for you?"

  "Our village entrance," said Xiaoye: "What time are you coming?"

  "Nine o'clock, you'd better be on time." Luo Xiaotong worried that Xiao Ye would change her mind at the last minute, and he would be in trouble.

  "A promise is a promise, no meeting means no parting."

  Anyway, there's still some time left, so I'll just lie down for a while, but I don't dare to fall asleep. At 8:30, Luo Xiaotong locked the big door and hailed a taxi on the street, arriving at Yangyang Village where Xiao Ye lived. As soon as he arrived at the village entrance, he saw Xiao Ye from afar - she was really punctual! At first glance, her figure was slender and beautiful, pleasing to the eye.

  As soon as I got on the bus, I sat next to Luo Xiaotong and was hit with a wave of fragrance.

  "Little Tongge, where are we going in the city?" Little Ye was concerned about this.

  "Don't worry, anyway, you can't be sold."
