Chapter 166

“Villas?” The girls all looked at the table and saw a rendering of a large villa.

A large line of text read, “The most luxurious residences at the lowest prices, 300~1000m2!”

“Yeah, my dad picked up this flyer when he came back. It’s for Dongfeng·Wanqingyuan, in the eastern suburbs of the city, which aren’t really suburbs anymore.”

“After this year’s shantytown redevelopment, it’s considered part of the urban area. I remember it used to be a botanical garden. There were several villages around, but now those villages are gone, and the area has become a villa district.”

He thought this villa district would surely be a waste, because Linshui was a small city with few wealthy people. Those who could afford a villa would have homes in big cities, so why would they buy one in a small place?

But the girls didn’t think so at all. Chu Qingchan’s eyes lit up, “Xu Lin, if I had known, I would have bought this!”

“I didn’t know at the time, they only started advertising recently.”

“It looks quite minimalist, not flashy, very practical. It seems like a good place for a family to live.”

“A big house, just like at home!” Shaoyao left a small yellow oil stain on the flyer with her greasy little hand.

“Don’t touch it. Let me give you a bowl and serve you some food, okay?”

“Okay.”

Originally not interested in these things, Ji Yun now looked at the villa and also wanted a house of her own, or rather... theirs.

“Judging by the promotional image, the environment looks pretty good,” Ye Fanleng remarked, looking at the pictures.

Although she owned several villas herself, it was rare to see one that gave such a homey feel.

Some might consider it tacky, but she found it quite likable.

“Xu Lin, is there a phone number?”

“Ms. Ye, what are you planning to do?”

“I want to ask about the price. It’s not listed here.” Ye Fanleng took the flyer, pulled out her phone, and dialed the number.

“They won’t be closed at this time, right?”

“No, don’t worry.”

Xu Lin was taken aback by the sudden shopping urge of Chu Qingchan and Ms. Ye. What was so appealing about this house? It’s just an ordinary villa, and it’s just a rendering. The reality might be very different.

“Hello, yes. Most of them have already been reserved?”

“Okay.”

“How about tomorrow noon?”

“Alright.”

Chu Qingchan pouted disdainfully. Though she didn’t have much money now, this was when her sister came in handy.

“Trust me, I can definitely afford it in the future.”

“I trust you,” Chu Qingchan said perfunctorily, making Ji Yun and Ye Fanleng laugh.

“But Ms. Ye, why are you interested in a house here? We’re not a city with great potential, just a slow-paced small city.”

“I like the exterior decoration of the villa; it feels very homely. The interior decor doesn’t matter much to me.”

“Is that so? But Ms. Ye, you don’t have much time to stay here, right? Your company is quite far from here.”

Chu Qingchan reminded her, not forgetting that the other party was a potential rival, and she shouldn’t underestimate her.

“Who knows? Maybe in a few years, when the company is stable, I’ll retire early and stay with Shaoyao. Your place might be really nice.”

“I saw some beautiful scenery on my way here. The environment is really good. I’ll check it out tomorrow and, if I like it, buy a villa. It’s not expensive.”

“Then Superstar Chu, you should go with Ms. Ye tomorrow to take a look.”

“Okay.”

After Xu Lin finished speaking, he realized something was wrong. Why had Shaoyao been quiet for so long?

Looking down, he found the adorable little girl asleep on his chest, her chubby face smeared with sauce, now stuck to his clothes. She had finished all the food in her bowl and, with a full belly, had been lulled to sleep by the adults’ conversation.

“I planned to play with her, but she fell asleep,” Xu Lin whispered.

“Sorry for dirtying your clothes. Let’s carry her to the room; I have some wet wipes to clean her up,” Ye Fanleng whispered back.

Xu Lin stood up, and Ye Fanleng leaned in to gently wipe Shaoyao’s hands and face with a wet wipe.

Chu Qingchan and Ji Yun, still seated, watched Xu Lin and Ye Fanleng tending to Shaoyao, then exchanged glances.

“Do you like kids, Sister Chu? It seems Xu Lin does.”

“They’re alright.”

“Xu Lin once joked with me about having a soccer team of kids.”

“He said what? Eleven kids!? Impossible!”

Chu Qingchan pouted but felt it might not be so far-fetched. Was something wrong with her head?
