A Mansion for a Thousand Gold, Good Neighbors for Ten Thousand

“Who are you?” The man opposite him had an imposing presence and asked coldly. Hu Tianming was instantly enraged. He came from a distinguished background and had been the center of attention since childhood. That innate sense of superiority had always made him arrogant. When had anyone ever dared speak to him like that? Especially in front of Bao Cai. He raised his chin and asked just as coldly, “And who are you?” Only then did Bao Cai slowly come to her senses and notice the dangerous tension between the two men beside her, as if they were on the verge of a fight. “I’m her boyfriend, Xia Fan.” Xia Fan took the initiative, making his identity clear and staking his claim. Between men, the game was simple and direct. There was no need for so much talk. He could plan ahead and patiently deal with other matters, but when it came to Bao Cai, he couldn’t wait another moment. Every minute was torture. “Xia Fan?” Only then did Hu Tianming realize that this must be the nickname saved in Bao Cai’s phone that day. “I’m Hu Tianming, Bao Cai’s friend, and her future husband.” Hu Tianming laid his cards on the table. Although he had never confessed his feelings to Bao Cai, she should have sensed how much he had done for her. “So you’re trying to steal her away from me?” Xia Fan’s face flushed, and a rush of anger surged in his chest. “What are you talking about? It’s the modern age. As long as Bao Cai isn’t married, I have every right to pursue her. We’ll compete fairly.” Hu Tianming refused to back down. He could give up anything else, but Bao Cai was the one thing he would never give up!
