...
Thinking of this, the resentment that had just risen in everyone's hearts because of being "tricked" not only dissipated quietly like a punctured balloon, but also uncontrollably transformed into a faint sense of heartache.
Yes, it's exhausting for one person to consider the sensitive feelings of so many girls at the same time, to be considerate of everyone, to constantly monitor their emotions to prevent trouble at home...
Even if Xuan Hao is incredibly smart and talented, this kind of extreme internal consumption day after day is absolutely exhausting!
The girls exchanged glances and saw the guilt in each other's eyes.
They felt like they had lost countless brain cells and were even somewhat exhausted just from setting up a scheme to deal with Yu Xiaogang all night.
But what about Xuanhao?
He usually spends every day dealing with them, tolerating their occasional unreasonable demands and temper tantrums, building a huge career outside, and working hard to improve himself under immense pressure...
The more they thought about it, the more guilty they felt, and they even began to reflect on whether they were sometimes too emotional and immature, and whether they had caused their brother too much trouble.
Seeing the girls' initially fierce gazes soften miraculously in less than a minute, turning into eyes full of guilt, heartache, and gratitude...
Tang Yuehua, who had been sitting quietly watching the show, suddenly trembled as she held her teacup, almost spilling the tea.
She widened her gentle, beautiful eyes, her gaze shifting unnaturally between Xuan Hao and the girls who were almost in tears.
It's a ghost!
Tang Yuehua gasped inwardly, a chill running down her spine.
Your methods, you brat, are outrageous and terrifying!
With just a few words, he not only completely washed away his scumbag-like scheming and calculations, but also instantly turned the tables, moving these smart girls who were originally about to confront him to the point of frantic self-reflection!
Only at this moment did Tang Yuehua truly realize just how terrifyingly skilled this lawless little rascal was at manipulating people's hearts.
No wonder he is surrounded by so many amazing girls with amazing backgrounds and different personalities.
He can still maintain a calm and even harmonious situation in this chaotic scene!
These incredibly clever young girls, admired by countless geniuses, have had their minds completely under your control, leaving not even a trace of their bones behind!
...
The sumptuous late-night snack was quickly devoured by everyone.
As he walked out of the grand restaurant and stood on the bustling street, Xuan Hao looked at the large group of beautiful women around him and was momentarily at a loss.
On one side was Tang Yuehua, the owner of Yuexuan, and on the other side were Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and the other two maids.
It's the middle of the night, so it doesn't seem appropriate to send anyone home first.
Seeing Xuan Hao standing at the intersection looking somewhat troubled, the sensible Ning Rongrong was about to speak up, suggesting that Xuan Hao take Aunt Yuehua first, and they could go back to the hotel by themselves.
But before she could speak, Xuan Hao waved his hand and made the decision directly:
"Forget it, all this fuss is too much trouble. Let's all go back to the hotel tonight."
"Oh? I'm going too?"
Tang Yuehua was stunned upon hearing this, and pointed to herself in confusion.
This place wasn't actually too far from her Yuexuan, and she thought that Xuanhao would take her back after finishing his meal.
"Yes, you'll come with us."
Xuan Hao looked at her and said, "It's the middle of the night. I'm really worried about letting a weak woman like you go back alone."
Similarly, I can't just leave those little girls on the street. I can only feel completely at ease when they're all within my sight.
"But bringing such a large group of people to your Moon Pavilion in the middle of the night would be too conspicuous and inconvenient.
Going to the top-floor suite of a hotel would be the most suitable option."
Tang Yuehua still felt it was inappropriate.
After all, it was their territory, and what was the point of an elder like her going along to join in the fun?
Just as she was hesitating and about to politely decline...
Xuan Hao subtly winked at Na'er, who was standing to the side.
As someone who could read Xuan Hao's mind, Na'er understood her brother's meaning almost instantly.
She immediately stepped forward, affectionately took Tang Yuehua's arm, and gently shook it, saying coquettishly:
"Sister Yuehua, why don't you come with us to rest for the night?
Tomorrow morning at daybreak, your brother will definitely send you back to Yuexuan safely as soon as possible."
Na'er blinked her clear purple eyes, her tone full of concern: "You don't want your brother to run back and forth between the two places and be scared on the road, do you?
It's the middle of the night in Tiandou City, so it's definitely safest for everyone to travel together."
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan and the others didn't want Xuan Hao to be troubled by such a small matter, so they all came over and offered their advice.
"Yes, Aunt Yuehua, there are plenty of empty rooms in the suite, please make do for the night!"
"It's so late, we're worried about you going home alone."
Faced with this group of girls whose enthusiasm was irresistible, and coupled with Xuan Hao's "high-sounding" safety reason, Tang Yuehua sighed inwardly and had no choice but to nod in agreement:
"Well... alright. I'll only bother you for one night."
Immediately afterwards, Xuan Hao and his entourage headed towards the Tian Dou Royal Hotel in a grand procession.
When they arrived at the luxury suite on the top floor of the hotel, Tang Yuehua looked out through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the corridor and was surprised to find that the lights of the Tiandou City Night Market below had begun to fade in large areas.
In the distance, on the eastern horizon, a faint glimmer of dawn was already appearing.
This means that it's almost dawn.
"Did we... wander around outside all night?"
Tang Yuehua looked out the window in a daze, and then she truly felt the deep fatigue coming from her body.
"Everyone is exhausted after a whole night of running around."
Xuan Hao stretched and yawned. "Alright, let's not linger here. Go back to your rooms, wash up, and go to sleep."
After saying that, he turned around and left, returning to his master bedroom and leaving the spacious living area to Tang Yuehua and Na'er.
It was only at this moment that Tang Yuehua truly saw the scale of this penthouse luxury suite.
This isn't a hotel room; it's practically a luxurious palace built in mid-air!
A dozen or so spacious, bright, and uniquely styled small rooms surround the huge central living room.
According to Ning Rongrong, Xuan Hao booked the entire floor for the whole year.
These girls usually come here to stay whenever they're not at the academy, treating it like their base camp in Tiandou City.
However, once Xuan Hao left, Tang Yuehua stood alone in the living room, surrounded by so many young and beautiful girls, and for a moment she felt an unprecedented sense of unease and tension.
Or, to be more precise, it was a strong sense of guilt.
Especially when her gaze swept over the large sofa, she couldn't help but recall the shameful scene from earlier that day in Yuexuan's room, where Xuanhao had torn her clothes and his hot hands had wantonly roamed and massaged her body.
Then look at these girls in front of me, their eyes full of innocence, calling her "Aunt Yuehua" with such respect.
Tang Yuehua's cheeks instantly burned like fire.
These children had no idea that during the day, she and the "Brother Xuanhao" they called her had engaged in extremely ambiguous physical contact in private, which even had a clear tendency to go too far!
If these clever girls who always treated her like an elder found out that she was secretly seeing that little rascal...
She'll never be able to face anyone again!
Just as Tang Yuehua stood there, feeling somewhat helpless and confused,
Na'er, who had been secretly observing her, keenly noticed the unease and guilt in Tang Yuehua's eyes.
Recalling her brother's satisfied expression when he returned from Yuexuan during the day, Na'er, with her brain that was comparable to a supercomputer, instantly guessed everything.
My brother definitely caused trouble for Sister Yuehua during the day today!
However, as her brother's most caring and dutiful younger sister, Na'er naturally knew what role she should play at this time.
She didn't say anything, but obediently stepped forward, took Tang Yuehua's slightly sweaty hand, and whispered:
"Sister Yuehua, the beds in the guest rooms might not have been made yet.
You can make do in my room tonight. My bed is quite big anyway."
Without saying a word, he pulled Tang Yuehua into his room, closed the door, and shut out the other girls' voices.
Looking at Na'er's pure and flawless face, Tang Yuehua felt an even stronger sense of guilt.
She sat on the edge of the bed, her fingers nervously twisting together, not even daring to look Na'er in the eye.
Just as her mind was in complete chaos.
Na'er suddenly took off her shoes and got into bed, then gently hugged her from behind.
Feeling the girl's soft, delicate body, Tang Yuehua stiffened.
Immediately afterwards, Na'er's soft, ethereal voice, carrying a hint of soothingness, whispered in Tang Yuehua's ear, like a gentle breeze that could calm all anxiety:
"Don't worry, Sister Yuehua. Whatever happens... Brother will handle it."
