```Hu Hai, the top international metropolis in the domestic economy.
Even without experiencing the crazy years of the domestic real estate market, the housing prices here still lead by a wide margin.
Especially the preserved English-style houses in the central district, their prices are no different from the courtyard houses in the capital.
Xu Musen and An Nuannuan didn't rush over but planned to buy some gifts first.
"Nuannuan, what do grandpa and grandma like?"
Xu Musen thought about An Nuannuan's grandparents' status, guessing that the regular health supplements wouldn't impress, and he wasn't sure if something too expensive would be appropriate.
An Nuannuan pondered for a moment, then pointed to herself: "Me and Nannan!"
She seemed quite proud.
Xu Musen was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh: "You know grandma and grandpa like you and your sister the most, but I'm talking about things they like."
An Nuannuan's pretty face blushed, and she tugged at Xu Musen's sleeve: "Actually, my grandparents are really nice. They said don't bring any gifts, just going for a meal together would be good."
During Xu Musen's last visit, he met An Nuannuan's grandma, a very elegant elderly woman who must have been quite a personality in her youth.
Such a person must have seen everything, and bringing something too expensive might seem somewhat mercenary.
Compared to gifts, sincerity is obviously more important.
Xu Musen thought for a while and an idea came to mind.
An hour later, in front of a garden house in the city center, Xu Musen and An Nuannuan got out of the car.
In Xu Musen's hand were several bags, not of gifts, but of groceries bought from the market.
"This house is really beautiful."
Xu Musen looked at the garden house, which seemed like a relic from the past with its layout and decorations almost becoming antiques— in this land of gold.
He guessed that this property must be worth hundreds of millions.
"You like this kind of house?" An Nuannuan asked him.
"No one wouldn't like it, it's just a matter of affordability."
Xu Musen sighed, suddenly wondering if the things he brought today would be appreciated by the occupants?
For such a household, changing to a different five-star chef every day wouldn't be a problem.
"But I think it's pretty boring here, not as fun as the milk tea shop at school."
An Nuannuan shook her head. The house had many rooms, but usually, only grandma, Nannan, and Aunt Xiang lived there. It felt empty every day.
It wasn't as interesting as making money at the milk tea shop.
"Those who don't know they're fortunate. How about I trade my other half of the milk tea shop shares for your place?" Xu Musen joked.
But An Nuannuan seriously considered it: "Grandma said only after I graduate from college can the house be mine, something about needing a certificate..."
As An Nuannuan spoke, she lifted her big eyes to look at Xu Musen.
A certificate that could split half of the house... was it not a marriage certificate?
It's a common method for family members to protect their granddaughter from being deceived by bad people.
And from the sound of it, whoever marries An Nuannuan would be directly endowed with a mansion worth hundreds of millions as a dowry.
How were the little fairies who talk about dowries of three hundred thousand and bring back only three sets of bedding as a dowry supposed to live?
Of course, Xu Musen looking into An Nuannuan's clear eyes had a feeling that she might be saying this on purpose.
Alas, Yao Mingyue, that little tsundere, left such a strong psychological shadow on him; seeing anyone seems like they are playing little tricks.
"Ahem, I still prefer to be self-sufficient." Searᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Xu Musen maintained his principle of not being a kept man.
An Nuannuan watched for a while before slowly acknowledging with an oh.
"Ding-dong~"
The doorbell rang, and soon a whirlwind-like figure burst out of the garden.
"Sister!"
An Nannan's crisp voice could be heard. Today she was dressed in a white Chinese-style short jacket similar to the one worn by Lady Tsunade from Naruto, complete with two adorable buns on her head.
Her sparkling eyes, identical to An Nuannuan's, twinkled, and her whole being radiated energy, giving off the vibe of a martial arts prodigy.
The moment she saw Xu Musen, her cute little face instantly displayed a mix of wariness and anticipation.
"Sister!" She called again, flinging herself into An Nuannuan's arms and rubbing her little head against her sister's chest.

She took a deep breath, grinned mischievously, and said with full adolescent flair: "Replenishing my sister's energy!"
While saying it, her eyes stealthily glanced at Xu Musen, as if flaunting something.
Xu Musen's lips curved up as he casually shook the milk tea in his hand.
The little girl's eyes immediately sparkled. Milk tea, considered junk food by most parents, was strictly forbidden at home.
Even more so by her own grandparents.
"Call me brother, and I'll let you have some. Blueberry flavor~"
Xu Musen teased her with a smile.
"I don't want to!"
An Nannan defiantly shook her head then turned to shake her sister's arm: "Sister..."
Seeing her sister's eager little eyes, An Nuannuan reached out to pat her head: "These milk teas are made by him personally. He's the boss."
An Nannan seemed to get a hint of something.
Hmm? Does he own a milk tea shop??
An Nannan swallowed hard. Could that mean this bad guy could provide an endless supply of... milk tea?
"What do you think? Just say the word, and it's yours to enjoy, blueberry flavor~"
The whisper from Xu Musen was like that of a tempting devil.
An Nannan's face turned red as she gazed at the enticing milk tea, swallowed hard, and in a voice as faint as a mosquito's, said: "Bro-bro..."
