Chapter 387 Seducing Yi Fanxi (2)
"I didn't know how I clogged the drain, so I just broke it," Judy said innocently, pinching her nose. Needless to say, the drain was broken, and the whole house was filled with water and a foul odor.
Yan Zuozuo's face darkened; this girl was really going all out to pursue a man. She shook her head helplessly and called Yi Fanxi, "I left early and left an important document in the office. Could you please bring it to me?"
It's not time to leave work yet, but she, as the deputy director, actually skipped work to help Judy. That's really something.
Yi Fanxi naturally agreed, but his expression turned strange after hearing the address Yan Zuozuo gave him.
"Oh, I just finished some business out today, so I came over to teach Julie something. Thank you for your help." Yan Zuozuo hung up after saying that and gave Julie an OK sign.
Judy cheered and, before Yan Zuozuo could react, dashed into another restroom. Yan Zuozuo laughed out loud; she really was childlike, just like someone going on a date with their boyfriend for the first time—look how excited she was!
Ten minutes later, Judy came out of the bathroom, almost startling Yan Zuozuo. Her hair and clothes were a mess, still dripping wet. Perhaps to add to the comedic effect, Judy had deliberately put on large-framed glasses, and there were even bits of vegetable stuck to her head.
Yan Zuozuo was both amused and exasperated: "What are you doing...?"
"It looks so realistic, otherwise it would be obviously fake. What about you, do you want to try it too?" Judy thought her outfit was pretty good; it made her look like she couldn't do housework, so it would be understandable if she couldn't fix the clogged drain.
Yan Zuozuo shook her head repeatedly, "No need, thank you." But there was a small problem. She pointed to the vegetable leaves above Juliet's head, "You're clogging the bathroom drain, not the kitchen one, are you?"
Judy blinked, then hesitantly touched the vegetable leaf on her head. "Isn't this cute?"
"It's cute, but it lacks common sense," Yan Zuozuo said seriously.
"Oh." Zhu nodded thoughtfully and took the vegetable leaf off her head. Actually, she still thought it would be more fun to have the vegetable leaf on, but having vegetable leaves in the bathroom... well, never mind.
A moment later, the doorbell rang at Juliet's house. Juliet glanced at the screen and saw that Yi Fanxi had arrived!
"Yan Zuozuo, he really came!" Ahhh, her candlelight dinner! She rushed to the table to confirm, and only felt relieved after confirming that everything was alright.
Yan Zuozuo was dumbfounded as she watched her bustling around like a busy little bee. She couldn't help but shake her head and smile. She would contact Chi Moqing later and have him call to pick her up. She would take the opportunity to turn off the power. Judy's candlelight dinner would be perfect.
A smile flashed in Yan Zuozuo's eyes as she took out her phone and called Chi Moqing, asking timidly, "Honey, do you have time in twenty minutes? Could you pick me up?"
Chi Moqing hesitated for a moment: "Wife, aren't you at the company?"
"Yes, I'll act as a matchmaker in Julie's family."
Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow: "When did my wife develop this hobby?"
Yan Zuozuo pursed her lips: "Don't laugh at me, I'm just doing you a favor, it might come in handy in the future."
"My dear wife is indeed farsighted." Chi Moqing chuckled on the other end of the phone. "Give me an address, and I'll come pick you up later."
Yan Zuozuo hung up and quickly sent the address to Chi Moqing. A few seconds later, the doorbell rang at Zhu Xi's house. She looked through the peephole and, unsurprisingly, it was Yi Fanxi.
Before she could open the door, Judy rushed over and stopped her, grabbing her arm tightly and asking with bright eyes, "Is this okay?" Yan Zuozuo nodded, and then heard Judy say, "Open the door, I'm going to the bathroom. I'll call you later, so please cooperate."
Yan Zuozuo nodded helplessly, and only after seeing Zhu Xi disappear from the bathroom did she open the door, "You're here, come in."
Yi Fanxi handed the documents in his hand to her: "No, I'm just getting off work and heading home."
Upon hearing that Yi Fanxi was about to leave without even entering the bathroom, Judy grabbed something and yanked it hard, immediately bursting into screams, "Yan Zuozuo, come quick! The sewer is spraying again... ugh..."
Yan Zuozuo initially thought it was Julie acting, but then she suddenly heard a spraying sound. No way!
She immediately grabbed Yi Fanxi and ran to the bathroom. When they arrived, they saw water spraying from the floor. Judy was standing right there, soaked to the bone, with the water jet hitting her face.
Yan Zuozuo was speechless. She tugged at Yi Fanxi's sleeve and said, "Hurry up and go help."
Yi Fanxi's face darkened, and he said coldly, "I'm not a repairman."
"Uh!" Yan Zuozuo choked, "But you're a man."
Yi Fanxi laughed sarcastically: "If men could do everything, why would we need to pay property management fees?"
It seemed to make a lot of sense, and Yan Zuozuo was speechless.
The two stared at each other, neither willing to back down. Judy was annoyed. "Damn it!" she thought. "I'm still here enduring this storm, and you two are chatting about this boring stuff? Can't we just have some fun?"
"Shut up, all of you!" the hot girl roared, blocking the gushing water with her arm, and said angrily, "Aren't you going to come and help me?"
Yi Fanxi shrugged, his meaning clear: no obligation, no responsibility, no fun.
Holy crap! Judy's about to explode.
However, Yan Zuozuo looked at Judy, who had been sprayed with water, with a strange expression and asked, "Why don't you go somewhere else first?"
Jusie: "..."
What the hell was she doing standing there?
She shifted to the side, grabbing Yi Fanxi and demanding he fix the drain. Yi Fanxi stood still, staring coldly at her hand gripping his arm. "Let go!"
"What?" Judy's voice rose several octaves as she stared at Yi Fanxi in utter disbelief. "God, are you even a man? You see two girls in such a sorry state and you just stand by and do nothing. Do you think you're so cool?"
Water droplets still clung to her hair and body. She wiped her face and unleashed a furious roar at Yi Fanxi.
Yi Fanxi remained indifferent, a mocking sneer playing on his lips. "Remember, don't break the main pipe next time... Also, if this spray continues, who knows what might come out... you..."
"puff!"
Before Yi Fanxi could finish speaking, sure enough, a hissing sound came from the ground, and waste that could only be produced in a bathroom sprayed out, which, by sheer coincidence, landed on Julie.
"Wow!" She didn't want to live anymore; she wanted to go home and find her mother.
Judy lost all interest in flirting with young men and immediately rushed into another bathroom, washing herself thoroughly three times from head to toe. "Ugh, why do I still smell so bad? I don't want to live anymore!"
Outside the door, Yan Zuozuo also felt helpless. She turned around and went to another restroom, where she saw the property management staff who had just been called were already there repairing the water pipes and sewers. Yi Fanxi leaned against the door, still expressionless.
Seeing her enter, a hint of displeasure flashed across his indifferent and cold face. "Deputy Director, don't bother me with this kind of thing again. After get off work is my private time."
"Ah..." Yan Zuozuo met his cold gaze and subconsciously shivered. She gave a guilty chuckle, "Actually, actually, Juliet is a good girl..."
"Does it have anything to do with me?"
"..." Okay, no.
Yan Zuozuo slumped her shoulders helplessly. She opened her mouth, about to say something, when she noticed Yi Fanxi's gaze was unusually intense. She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but ever since when had Yi Fanxi's gaze become so strange, making her feel uneasy.
"The repairs here are almost done. I'll take you back first," Yi Fanxi said. Yan Zuozuo quickly shook her head. "No, no need. Julie probably doesn't understand these things. I'll wait until it's fixed before I leave. I'm so sorry about what happened today."
Yi Fanxi glanced at her: "If it gets any later, it will be harder to get a taxi."
"My husband is coming to pick me up in a little while."
A dark, unfathomable glint flashed in Yi Fanxi's eyes as he lifted his foot and left.
Yan Zuozuo stared at his retreating figure in disbelief. "No way, he really just left like that? What happened to the hero rescuing the damsel in distress? What happened to the candlelight dinner?"
The sound of Juliet wailing came from the bathroom, and Yan Zuozuo suddenly felt very tired.
With a click, the power went out in Julie's apartment!
"Ah!" A loud crashing sound came from the bathroom, followed by Judy's scream.
Yan Zuozuo was originally scared, but after Zhu Xi's outburst, she was speechless.
Just then, Chi Moqing called...
Inside the car, Chi Moqing remained as calm as ever, but a smile was hidden in his eyes, and it was an absolutely blatant mockery.
Yan Zuozuo rolled her eyes: "Just laugh if you want to. It's so uncomfortable to hold it in."
She was just saying it casually, but someone took it seriously and burst out laughing, and the laughter grew louder and louder, with no intention of stopping.
Yan Zuozuo pursed her lips: "Is it that funny?"
"No, no, I just think my wife is very cute, hahaha..." Chi Moqing's words were hypocritical, which made Yan Zuozuo snort coldly, "It's no use laughing at me for being stupid. Once the goods are out, they cannot be returned."
Chi Moqing laughed even louder, while Yan Zuozuo became even more shy, snorted, and turned her head away, ignoring him. After a while, she sighed and said, "Actually, Juliet and Yi Fanxi are quite a good match, don't you think?"
Chi Moqing turned his head and reached out to pat her head while the light was red. "My wife always has a discerning eye. As long as you're happy and doing what you love, I'll support you no matter what."
"That sounds nice, it's good enough that you're not laughing at me." Yan Zuozuo muttered softly, but this only provoked Chi Moqing to laugh even more heartily. She wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
The next day, as soon as Yan Zuozuo entered the office, Yi Fanxi placed the documents in front of her. Yan Zuozuo glanced at him casually, only to see that he still had that cold and indifferent expression.
Sometimes even she suspected that Yi Fanxi's feelings for her were just a product of her narcissism.
"These are the documents that need to be signed soon. This is your schedule for this morning. Please take a look and see if there are any changes needed," Yi Fanxi said dutifully.
Yan Zuozuo glanced at the documents; they were alright. She signed them and handed them back to Yi Fanxi. Seeing him about to leave, she couldn't help but ask, "Assistant Yi, do you really have absolutely no feelings for Juliet?"
Yi Fanxi paused, standing there tall and imposing, without even turning around, coldly uttering two words, "Annoying!"
Yan Zuozuo is spitting blood. Does she have to be so direct? Judy is at least a beautiful young woman.
"If the deputy director has nothing else, I'll head out now." Yi Fanxi opened the door and left, saying calmly as she closed it, "We're just colleagues."
Yan Zuozuo was stunned, staring blankly at the closed door. What did that mean? Was he reminding her not to meddle, or telling her not to be narcissistic, that he had no ulterior motives towards her?
