My ex-boyfriend is looking forward to my bankruptcy

Qu Tao pretended not to hear his words. He pointed the loaded slingshot at the window next to him, and there was another crisp "pop" sound.

The servant heard the noise and walked out from the hall. Looking at the two people upstairs and downstairs, he didn't know what to say for a moment. Xi Mozhou was the first to break the silence.

"Mrs. Chen, please invite Mr. Qu into the hall."

"Don't bother, I can walk by myself."

Looking at the glass window that hadn't changed at all, Qu Tao reluctantly put away the slingshot in his hand and swaggered towards the hall.

Xi Mozhou closed the window and came down from upstairs after a while.

"have you eaten?"

"You've bankrupted me. What am I going to eat?"

Qu Tao sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and a defiant look on his face. Xi Mozhou glanced at him and gave an order to the servant standing beside him.

"Mother Chen, go tell the kitchen to prepare dinner now."

After Chen Ma left, he and Xi Mozhou were the only ones left in the hall. Qu Tao stood up from the sofa and looked around the hall scrutinizingly.

Whether it was the decoration or the furnishings, the room was a bit too cozy, not quite like Xi Mozhou's style, but more like what he had casually mentioned to Assistant Wang before.

"I asked you to buy me a bed. Did you buy it?"

"No."

Qu Tao walked around the hall and sat back on the sofa. The extreme imbalance in his heart made him speak in a very angry tone.

"Why not buy it? Don't you believe I would occupy your bed?"

He could have had all of these, but it was all Xi Mozhou's fault, causing his company to run at a loss.

"If you want to sleep in my...bed, you're welcome anytime."

"Take me to your bedroom."

Qu Tao didn't notice the deliberate pause in his words and looked at him commandingly. Xi Mozhou curled his lips and indicated the direction of the elevator.

When Qu Tao arrived at Xi Mozhou's bedroom on the second floor, the imbalance in his heart exploded.

A small Western-style building with a courtyard, an elevator, servants, and a super luxurious balcony facing the sea in the bedroom...

Why should Xi Mozhou deprive him of the power he has?

Qu Tao's eyes turned red with jealousy. He looked at the various green plants and flowers surrounding the balcony and sneered.

"When did President Xi become so good at enjoying life?"

"I have the capital."

It was this sentence again that made Qu Tao so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He already had it, provided that Xi Mozhou didn't bully him.

Gazing at the sea outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, Qu Tao sat on the hammock on the balcony and acted like a rogue.

"You change bedrooms, this bedroom will be mine from now on."

"There's only one bedroom."

"No guest bedroom?"

"Correct."

"Then you sleep in the servants' room."

"Servants don't stay here overnight."

Qu Tao instantly got furious and stood up from the hanging chair.

"Xi Mozhou, are you kidding me? This house has four floors, and you told me there's only one bedroom?"

"If Mr. Qu doesn't believe it, you can go and look for it yourself."

"Just look for it."

Qu Tao started searching from the second floor. Every door was open. There was a study, a cloakroom, and a handicraft room, but there was no bedroom.

He was unwilling to give up and went to the third floor. There were only two rooms on this floor, one was a fitness room and the other was an entertainment room.

The fourth floor is even more visible at a glance, as the entire floor is designed as an open-air swimming pool with a skylight.

"I did not lie to you."

"Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't even checked the first floor yet."

Qu Tao went to the first floor and continued searching, ignoring the aroma wafting from the restaurant.

Xi Mozhou was right. There was indeed only one bedroom. There were two rooms on the first floor, but they were full of junk.

"Would you like to go look in the basement?"

Knowing that there would be no bedroom in the basement, Qu Tao couldn't stand his provocation.

"Just take a look."

On the basement floor was a wine cellar and a small bar. Qu Tao took a bottle of expensive red wine and walked towards the elevator.

"Xi Mozhou, listen to me. I don't care how many bedrooms you have here. The bedroom you just used belongs to me. From tonight on, you can sleep on the sofa or in the study, but you are not allowed to sleep in that bedroom anymore."

"Are you hungry? Let's talk after dinner."

Xi Mozhou avoided the question and Qu Tao thought to himself, how could he not be hungry? He had been so angry all day that he hadn't eaten much at all.

In the restaurant on the first floor, looking at the dazzling array of dishes on the table, Qu Tao reached out, grabbed a braised prawn, and put it into his mouth.

"Not bad, it tastes just like what I eat in your office."

"How can a person do something different? Go wash your hands first."

Being starving, Qu Tao didn't bother to argue with him anymore. He put the red wine on the dining table and followed the servant to the bathroom.

"I'm going to wash my hands. Please ask someone to open the red wine for me."

After washing his hands, Qu Tao felt like he was at home, sipping red wine and eating delicious food without a trace of restraint. After all, Xi Mozhou owed him something!

"Are you staying here tonight?"

"Yes, I'll take the things you left in the bedroom later."

Xi Mozhou said nothing more, picked up his empty wine glass and refilled it.

Qu Tao had almost finished eating and drinking, and he propped up his chin and looked across.

"Xi Mozhou, we've been together for a while, can you please stop bullying me? When I make enough money, I'll buy the villa next to yours and we can be neighbors, okay?"

"not good."

"You have to make me bankrupt?"

"Yes."

"Okay, you're cruel," Qu Tao poured himself another glass of red wine and nodded resentfully, "Since you won't let me have a good life, don't blame me for not letting you have a good life."

"How do you want to make my life difficult? Tell me."

Xi Mozhou had a smile on his face, with an expression of waiting to see what was going to happen. Before Qu Tao could reply, the cell phone in his trouser pocket suddenly rang.

"Who?"

The aftereffects of the red wine took effect, and Qu Tao stuck out his tongue, looking a little impatient. There was silence for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, and then the voice was gentle.

"You were drinking? Was it because of the stock market crash?"

"You are..." A voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar. Qu Tao paused, "Are you President Mu?"

"Yes, thank you for recognizing my voice."

There was a smile on the other end of the phone. Qu Tao was about to say something when the man sitting opposite him suddenly snatched his phone away.

"Why are you calling me at this time? Can't I sleep?"

Xi Mozhou was angrily talking on the phone, and Qu Tao immediately stood up from the stool.

"Xi Mozhou, are you sick?"

Xi Mozhou seemed not to hear his dissatisfaction. He hung up the phone, turned it off, and put it in his trouser pocket in one go.

Qu Tao swayed his body, walked across the dining table and came to him.

"That's my phone, give it back to me."

"Go to sleep, I'll return it to you in the morning."

"No, return it now."

Qu Tao stood still and stretched out his hand towards him. Xi Mozhou's seemingly calm face instantly cracked.

"Give you your phone back so you can call Mu Jingyan back?"

"Who should I call? Do you care?"

Qu Tao glared at him unconvincedly. Xi Mozhou put his hands in his pockets, stood up and walked towards the second floor.

"Come and get it yourself if you can."

Qu Tao staggered for a moment before catching up. When he reached the bedroom on the second floor, Xi Mozhou had already taken off his upper body and walked into the bathroom next door.

Qu Tao subconsciously wanted to follow in, but when he heard the sound of water, he stopped in front of the door.

"Xi Mozhou, you bastard, give my phone back to me right now."

"The door is not locked. I told you to come and get it yourself if you can."
