Chapter 356: Chapter 357: This Shouldnât Be Considered Showing Off
After paying the bill, Chen Cang tricked Qin Yue into using the bathroom and ran a kilometer to buy her favorite fruit milk tea.
Cool, sour, and sweet.
Qin Yueâs eyes sparkled with laughter, her laughter filled with love.
âNo more Yi Fang after this, itâs too expensive!â Qin Yue whispered.
Chen Cang smiled slightly, âFrom now on, Iâll buy you whatever you want to drink.â
A simple phrase touched Qin Yue deeply.
Looking at Chen Cangâs sweaty face, Qin Yue suddenly felt very happy.
At this moment, Qin Yue thought, even if Chen Cang had no house and no car, as long as he was willing to buy her a milk tea, she would be willing to marry him, even if it meant working hard to earn money herself.
With this in mind, Qin Yue picked up the straw, and, placing her right index finger against the flat end of the straw, she gently pierced the milk tea lid, without spilling a drop.
This was her second technique perfected to the âdrinking milk teaâ level.
Qin Yue pursed her lips slightly, âYou take a sip first, look how tired you are!â
Chen Cang chuckled, holding the milk tea where Qin Yue held it, and took a sip, sweet and delicious.
âShall we go? To house viewing?â
Chen Cang stretched out his right hand, habitually taking Qin Yueâs left hand.
Qin Yue seemed accustomed to it too, letting Chen Cang lead her.
With her hand in Chen Cangâs grasp, Qin Yue truly felt extremely happy, her smile today even sweeter than usual.
â¦
â¦
Love really can make one exhilarated, make one forget fatigue.
After a short rest, Qin Yue insisted on dragging Chen Cang to go see houses.
Chen Cang was, of course, very happy too, running back and forth after Qin Yue.
In the afternoon during the house viewing, Qin Yue was even happier and more excited, running around in the rooms, gesturing here, touching there.
Then she described a scene to Chen Cang using gestures.
âHere, weâll put a couch, I want a big one that you can sleep on!â
âOver here, I want to keep a kitten, to stroke idly when thereâs nothing to do.â
âI want to connect the bed and balcony, and in the mornings Iâll use smart home control and say, âOpen the window!â Then the sunlight will pour in, shine on my face, and feel so warm and nice.â
âAlso, I want to put a projector in the bedroom so we can watch movies at night! But no horror movies allowed.â
â¦
Not just Qin Yue, even Chen Cang got caught up in it all.
The two of them ran around the rooms, examining places, touching surfaces, imagining how to decorate their home.
This was to be their own home, where they could let creativity flow freely.
There was no need to live under the constraints that come with living with parents; this was their own world, where they could arrange everything just as they wished.
Finally, when they had finished viewing a house, Qin Yue asked cautiously, âExcuse me, how much is this house?â
The sales lady smiled slightly, âYou really have taste, this house is the most expensive one in this building in terms of average price.â
âGoing by the price of the community, itâs twenty-three thousand per square meter, but this house is nearly thirty thousand per square meter, and with more than one hundred and twenty square meters, all expenses considered, it might be around four million!â
The sales ladyâs words left Qin Yue stunned!
Four million!
Oh my goodness.
Qin Yue couldnât help but stick out her tongue a bit.
With a thirty percent down payment, that would also be nearly one million two hundred thousand.
Thinking of this, Qin Yue muttered softly, âThatâs expensive!â
Seeing Qin Yueâs reaction, Chen Cang couldnât help but take a deep breath and made a decision!
Bought!
This house was Chen Cangâs favorite, whether it was the price, layout, or orientation, it all matched Qin Yueâs and his own preferences perfectly.
Four million, indeed not cheap.
Butâ¦
Finding a house that one truly likes is even harder.
Qin Yue smiled, looking at Chen Cang, âI think itâs a bit too big. Should we look at smaller houses?â
âAfter all, itâs quite empty for one person to live in such a big place!â
Though she said that, Qin Yue had already made up her mind; as soon as they got back, she would definitely convince her parents to buy this house!
â`
I must buy it!
She could tell that Chen Cang truly liked this house.
After touring for a whole day, this was the one Chen Cang and Qin Yue liked the most.
But at 4 million, it was really too expensive.
Chen Cang definitely couldnât afford itâ¦
Neither could she!
Even if Chen Cang and she tried to buy it together, they couldnât afford itâ¦
After much thought, only Old Qin and Comrade Ji seemed suitable.
Qin Yue had already made up her mind.
When the time came, she would have Old Qin buy the house, and then she and Chen Cang would move in. Of course, they wouldnât live there for free; they would pay rent.
Perhaps⦠1000 yuan for rent each month would suffice?
Qin Yue felt that 1000 yuan was already quite a lot, especially since she still had to decorate. Yes, 1000 yuan wasnât little at all!
She would renovate the place for them, not accepting a penny, and on top of that, pay rentâit was already very generous of her.
No, thatâs not right!
Qin Yue felt that they should also contribute some renovation costs, otherwise she and Chen Cang would be at too much of a loss!
Well, this shouldnât be considered as turning her elbow outwards!
Having made up her mind, Qin Yue dragged Chen Cang towards the exit.
Meanwhile, Chen Cang had also asked for the sales ladyâs number, which annoyed Qin Yue somewhat.
The little lioness Qin Yue had already considered Chen Cang as part of her own turf, and would never allow any other woman to invade her territory.
Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly saw another sales lady walking in.
Clearly, they werenât the only ones interested in this apartment.
Situations like this were common.
Howeverâ¦
When they saw that the person who came to view the house was Zhang Fan, both of them were slightly stunned.
Zhang Fan saw them and merely smiled faintly.
He looked at Qin Yue deeply, then glanced past Chen Cang, âYueyue, looking at houses? This room is really quite something.â
After casually glancing around, Zhang Fan asked the sales lady, âHow much is this apartment?â
The sales lady smiled slightly and said in the same tone, âSir, you have great taste. This is the best apartment in our complex, and the price is around 4 million.â
Zhang Fan smiled lightly, nodded, and casually said, âHmm, 4 million, thatâs not expensive!â
After finishing his statement, Zhang Fan casually walked around, looked at the place, and complimented, âHmm, quite nice. Iâll take it! 4 million, is it?â
His words left Chen Cang and Qin Yue dumbstruck.
A tightness gripped Qin Yueâs heart, and she couldnât help wanting to speak out.
Chen Cang hurriedly signaled with his eyes to stop her.
Zhang Fan happened to witness this and immediately felt elated.
Although he didnât say much, his heart was clearly very much aware.
Donât you like the little doctor?
Heh!
Well, you definitely canât afford this house!
However, Zhang Fan wouldnât mock Chen Cang, but he also wouldnât show any kindness.
Chen Cang saw Zhang Fanâs arrogant and proud demeanor and noticed that Qin Yue was unhappy.
He knew that Qin Yue really liked this apartment.
Instantly, Chen Cang made up his mind to buy it!
But, Chen Cang would not argue with Zhang Fan.
Pulling Qin Yue along, he said, âLetâs go.â
Qin Yue nodded, feeling very downhearted; it wasnât that she cared about the apartment, she just didnât like seeing Chen Cang being ridiculed and scorned.
The little lioness too had someone she wanted to protect!
Chen Cang looked at the name of the property and dialed Zheng Guotanâs number.
