Chapter 464: Chapter 464: Mysterious Call_1

Xu Fan either went back to his apartment in Kowloon New City in the evenings or to the Xinghai Media Company, but that day he had gone to a large shopping mall instead. The things he bought crammed the trunk of the car to the brim, and the back seats were also piled up into a small hill. If it hadn’t been for the public setting, he would have considered using his storage ring.

After that, he drove to his new home—the Number One Residence in Zhonghai within the Oriental Famous City villa complex.

“Daddy, are all these things for Tongtong to play with?” Tongtong asked curiously, looking at the car full of stuff.

Xu Fan touched her little head and smiled, “No, they’re not toys. They are decorations that will make our new home even more beautiful.”

“I see, Tongtong really wants to see.” Tongtong’s bright eyes sparkled with anticipation.

The new home was already large and beautiful, so with the decorations, it would definitely be even more attractive.

“Tongtong, can you promise Daddy not to tell Mommy about this yet? Daddy wants to give Mommy a surprise. Is that okay?” Xu Fan asked.

“Ah? A surprise? Tongtong wants one too,” Tongtong tilted her little head and pouted, then thought for a moment and said, “Since it’s for Mommy, Tongtong won’t compete for it and won’t tell Mommy either.”

“Right, right,” Xu Fan said in Sichuan dialect.

After driving the car into the villa’s garage, Xu Fan levitated the items he had bought with his spiritual energy, and they floated into the villa.

Red candles, pretty little lights, colorful balloons, and a variety of streamers twinkling with delicate stars...

He gave Tongtong some balloons to blow and play with on the living room sofa while Xu Fan quickly set up the decorations.

With each movement, the decorative items swiftly found their appropriate places and took on the shape he wanted, as if by magic.

Ordinarily, arranging so many things would take half a day for an average person, but Xu Fan was done in just twenty-something minutes.

Of course, some items were just backups, like the candles and fairy lights, which he would light later.

As a result, the anticipated effect wasn’t quite visible for the time being.

After he finished setting up, Xu Fan took a moment to talk with Lu Chennong on the phone. The content was unknown, but after he put away his phone, Xu Fan’s smile was even more pronounced.

All matters were on track and progressing well, so the three women breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a weight lifted off their shoulders and spirits brightened.

Chen Shiyu even started humming the tune of her new song, which was melodious, gentle, and pleasant to the ear.

This was just the melody, but if it were sung with her heavenly voice, wouldn’t it sound ten times more captivating?

Everyone listened in silence, a look of enjoyment on their faces.

Tongtong clapped her hands with an expression mixed with admiration and envy.

Suddenly, a cell phone ringtone sounded—it was Chen Shiyu’s hit single from years ago, “That Year, That Me, That Youth,” and she was the only one in the car using that ringtone.

Chen Shiyu stopped humming and pulled out her phone, her brows furrowing as soon as she saw the caller ID.

“Shi Yu, are you not going to answer it?” Xu Yixue asked with concern upon seeing her expression.

As long-term best friends, they knew each other well. The slightest change in expression was enough to tell that there was trouble.

“It’s just a harassing call, I won’t answer,” Chen Shiyu casually replied, and then pressed reject.

But of course, this didn’t fool Xu Yixue. A harassing call would not result in a frown or a shift in complexion.

“Naturally, you can’t answer harassing calls,” Xu Yixue replied with a gentle smile.

To cover up her change in mood, Chen Shiyu resumed humming her song, but it didn’t seem as appealing as before, as if the singer’s heart wasn’t in it, resulting in the song losing its flavor.

After a short while, her phone vibrated. Chen Shiyu discreetly took out the phone from her bag, checked the message, and immediately her complexion turned somber and annoyed. She took a deep breath, trying her best to control her emotions. After hastily deleting the message, she turned off her phone and put it back in her bag.

Xu Yixue watched quietly from the side, surmising in her heart. It was rare to see Chen Shiyu like this; she must be facing some serious trouble.

Because Xu Fan was present, it wasn’t appropriate to inquire on the spot, so she decided to wait until they were back home to discuss it.

Although Xu Fan sensed something, he believed in respecting the privacy of those living under the same roof. He would never pry into the three women’s private matters or bodies—activities Xu Fan would certainly not engage in.

After returning home, Xu Fan started to bathe Tongtong, while Chen Shiyu was escorted by Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning into the bedroom, where the door was locked behind them and gentle lighting turned on. The two women gathered around Chen Shiyu’s bed, appearing to scrutinize her.
