Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

So the two sisters in the Guan family really overthink things. He was just being polite, but they actually imagined such a big drama.

"Come on, what do you have to explain? I'm listening to everything," Guan Yuqing said.

Lin Yi said speechlessly, "Are you two out of your minds?"

"Ok?"

Lin Yi didn't give them a chance to speak and continued, "You're the ones who invited me to dinner tonight, right?"

In other words, you, as the hosts, are asking me questions.

I'm here for a meal, so of course I have to be polite. You're asking me how it is? Do you like it?

How could I answer? Could I say you two are disgusting, ugly, unbearable to look at, and unbearable to look at? Could I say that? Of course not.

Out of courtesy, I will naturally praise you for your strengths.

As for whether I like it or not, the liking I'm talking about is completely different from the liking you're talking about.

Out of courtesy.

It was just a polite remark.

Praise them.

The two meanings of "like" are completely different.

Guan Yuqing and Guan Duoyun blushed after hearing this.

It's shameful.

They never expected that all their fuss was just a result of their overthinking.

At this moment, the two Guan sisters were extremely embarrassed and wished they could dig a hole and bury themselves.

Is there anything more embarrassing than this in the world?

They thought Lin Yi wanted to have his cake and eat it too.

Who knew, they were just overthinking it.

Furthermore, Lin Yi said four bad things about them, which was clearly retaliation.

They were scolded, and there was nothing they could do; they were in the wrong after all.

Lin Yi extended his hand.

Guan Yuqing asked, "What?"

"What else do you want? Give me back the key," Lin Yi said.

"No," Guan Yuqing quickly shook her head.

“You two can go wherever you want. My little temple can’t afford to serve two big shots like you,” Lin Yi said.

"No." Guan Yuqing smiled again, then awkwardly lowered her head to admit her mistake: "Lin Yi, I was wrong, please don't do this, it was our fault."

"Yes, yes, it was our fault," Guan Duoyun said, blushing.

"Now you know you were wrong?" Lin Yi asked.

"Yes, yes, we know we were wrong," the Guan sisters said together.

"Why don't you give me back the key, so I don't accuse you of having ulterior motives later?" Lin Yi said.

Guan Yuqing and Guan Duoyun both disagreed and covered their bags.

"Oh, Lin Yi, I admit that what I did just now was wrong. I apologize to you."

"But...but you've already scolded us so harshly," Guan Yuqing said.

"Huh? Don't slander me. When did I ever curse you?" Lin Yi said.

“You said we were disgusting, ugly, unbearable to look at, and unbearable to look at,” Guan Yuqing said.

Lin Yi laughed and said, "Oh, you guys know that my answer isn't very nice?"

Why are you overthinking it when I simply gave a polite reply?

We were wrong.

Don't argue, just give in decisively.

They admitted they were wrong.

Lin Yi said, "Okay, this is the only time. Don't let it happen again. If it happens again, you can leave on your own."

Lin Yi said this and then got up to leave.

"Don't go, Lin Yi, we haven't finished eating yet," Guan Yuqing called out.

"I'm not eating anymore, I'm too angry to eat," Lin Yi said.

Lin Yi left, leaving behind the dishes on the table and two extremely embarrassed sisters.

"Sis, we've really embarrassed ourselves this time." Guan Yuqing said with a blush. "Hey, Lin Yi is such a nice person, handsome and funny. He only charged us half the rent. He's been so good to us. How could we have misunderstood him?"

"It's all my fault. I was so angry that I acted rashly. If only I had thought things through more," Guan Duoyun said.

"It's my fault too."

Guan Yuqing looked at her older sister, Guan Duoyun, and the two sisters looked at each other.

"Sister, I'm sorry, I lost your boyfriend," Guan Yuqing said.

"I told you, I found this for you. Never mind, it's too late to say anything now."

"But I don't think Lin Yi is a petty person. He's a grown man, so he probably won't hold a grudge. He'll likely forgive us after a while," Guan Duoyun said.

"Uh-huh."

Somewhat helpless, the two could only channel their grief and anger into their appetite and begin to eat.

……

Despite being misunderstood, perhaps because Lin Yi really had this thought, he was not angry at all, but rather felt a little amused.

If they knew what Lin Yi was really thinking, they would know they had lost out big time.

Before long, Lin Yi drove home.

Yang Tao was very happy to see Lin Yi.

Yang Tao smiled and said, "Honey, you're back?"

"Mmm." Lin Yi said, giving Yang Tao a big hug.

After letting go, Lin Yi hadn't taken more than two steps when he saw the packed luggage bag in the living room.

"Huh? Peach, what's going on?" Lin Yi asked.

“My mom and Sister Qing said they’re moving out,” Yang Tao said.

"We haven't treated Auntie and Sister Qing badly, have we? Why are they suddenly moving out when we were living together so well?" Lin Yi asked.

"No, my mom sees how well we get along and doesn't want to bother us," Yang Tao said.

"Such a good thing?" Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Hmm?" Yang Tao glared at him with her beautiful eyes.

Lin Yi instantly realized that he had gotten a little carried away.

Lin Yi quickly changed his tune, explaining with a smile, "It's not what you think. What I mean is that Auntie and Sister Qing are right to think this way."

But Peach, you don't need to worry. I have another house nearby, just across the street from here.

You can let Auntie and Sister Qing stay there; it's very close by. Auntie can come over to visit whenever she has time.

"Really?" Yang Tao was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"Why would I lie to you?" Lin Yi said, smiling at her.

"Okay, then my mom and sister won't need to stay in a hotel," Yang Tao said, letting out a sigh of relief.

After all, they were her closest relatives. They had come to Shanghai, and it was one thing that they couldn't stay together, but it was really inappropriate to make them stay in a hotel.

Upon hearing that there were houses nearby for Lin Yi, Yang Tao immediately became happy.

Yang Tao said gratefully, "Darling, thank you for your trouble."

"Do we need to be so polite between us?" Lin Yi asked.

“I know it’s not necessary, but I wanted to say it anyway,” Yang Tao said.

Lin Yi laughed and said, "What I hate most is people who talk the talk but don't walk the walk."

"Pfft-"

Yang Tao burst out laughing upon hearing this, wanting to say something like, "Just say it directly, don't beat around the bush."

Yang Tao glanced at Sister Qing's room.

At this moment, her mother and sister Qing were packing their luggage, and she needed to keep an eye on them so they wouldn't find out and make things awkward.

"What are you all standing there for? Someone's not planning to run away, is he?" Lin Yi asked.

"Who said that? I was just checking the room. What if they came out while we were kissing?"

"Honey, how about we wait until after my mom leaves?" Yang Tao said worriedly.

"You've had so much time to talk, it's all over now," Lin Yi urged.

"Alright, alright, you're always in a hurry."

As Yang Tao spoke, she leaned close to Lin Yi.

"What if" means the probability is extremely low.

However, even things with extremely low probability can still happen.

There was no sound from the room while Yang Tao was speaking.

Who knew that right after Yang Tao kissed Lin Yi, both of them came out of the room.

Although Yang Tao moved quickly, she was still seen.

Yang Tao was completely dumbfounded when she saw this.
