Today, Ning Xiaoyuâs mother was discharged from the hospital. Ye Xiaofeiâs Lamborghini only had two seats. It was really inconvenient, so he asked Meng Zhijing to get a van.
Ning Xiaoyuâs mother had basically recovered. Not wanting to stay in the hospital for a long time, she had already packed her things and was waiting for Ye Xiaofei to come.
Half an hour later, Ye Xiaofei brought Ning Xiaoyu and her mother to their new residential area.
Ye Xiaofei parked the car in the underground parking lot. Ning Xiaoyu and her mother were confused. Ning Xiaoyu asked curiously, âBrother Xiaofei, arenât we going home? What are we doing here?â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ye Xiaofei chuckled and said, âWeâre home.â
Ning Xiaoyu and her mother were even more confused.
Ye Xiaofei smiled and said, âLetâs go. Youâll find out soon. Follow me.â
Although the two of them were confused, they had complete trust in Ye Xiaofei and still followed Ye Xiaofei out of the car.
After exiting the elevator, Ye Xiaofei pressed onto the fingerprint lock at the door. The door opened with a gentle pull.
âAuntie, Xiaoyu, welcome home!â Ye Xiaofei said with a smile.
âXiaofei, this is your house? We must have a look around.â Auntie Ning was pleasantly surprised.
âNo!â Ye Xiaofei said. âThis is your and Xiaoyuâs home!â
âOur home?â Ning Xiaoyu and her mother were confused.
âYes, I bought this for you. Youâll live here in the future. Letâs go in and take a look first,â Ye Xiaofei uttered and walked in first.
Ning Xiaoyu and her mother were a little confused and followed him in.
As soon as they entered, the two of them were shocked by the spacious hall. The size of the hall alone seemed to be bigger than the house they used to live in.
The two of them stood awkwardly at the door, not daring to walk in.
Ye Xiaofei smiled and beckoned, âCome in quickly. This is your home. You should take a good look. Xiaoyu, bring Auntie in quickly.â
âBrother Xiaofei, you mean⦠This house⦠Did you buy it for us?â Ning Xiaoyu stood still and stammered.
âYes, the house youâre living in now is really too old, and the environment is not good, so I bought you a better one so that you can live more comfortably,â Ye Xiaofei replied and pulled the two of them in. Otherwise, they would have continued standing at the door.
Auntie Ning came back to her senses and said in a panic, âNo, 1 canât! This wonât do! Xiaofei, we appreciate your kindness, but we canât take this house.â
Ye Xiaofei spread out his hands and said, âYou canât not take it. Iâve already paid for this house. I canât return it.â
Auntie Ning said again, âThen⦠Then you can stay here by yourself.â
âAuntie, donât treat me like an outsider. Back then, when 1 was facing my most difficult times, if it wasnât for you and Xiaoyu taking me in, 1 wouldnât even have a place to stay. As the saying goes, a drop of water will be repaid with a spring. You guys have done me a great favor, so 1 bought you a house. This is nothing. Donât be polite with me, or else 1â11 feel like an outsider.â
âThat⦠Thatâ¦â Auntie Ning still looked troubled.
Ye Xiaofei gave Ning Xiaoyu a look.
Ning Xiaoyu came back to her senses and said happily, âMom, since it was given to us by Brother Xiaofei, then we will stay here. Brother Xiaofei is so rich now. His car is worth millions.â
âBut⦠This is a house.â In Auntie Ningâs heart, a house was a huge asset, especially a house that looked very good. She didnât know how much it was worth.
âIf itâs someone else giving it to us, then we wouldnât dare to take it. But if itâs Brother Xiaofei giving it to us, then whatâs there to be afraid of?â Ning Xiaoyu giggled.
Ye Xiaofei chimed in, âThatâs right, Auntie. I treat you as my mother, and Xiaoyu is like my biological sister. Itâs only right for me to respect you and have you live a good life.â
Those words touched Auntie Ning, and she choked on tears. âXiaofei, youâre really promising. Then 1â11 take a look around.â
She still didnât say that she wanted to stay, let alone accept the house.
Ye Xiaofei didnât say anything else for the time being, as long as they stayed.
He brought the two of them to take a look at each room. Ning Xiaoyu and her daughter were even more dazzled.
âBrother Xiaofei, this house is too big. 1 feel like Iâm going to get lost here.â
Auntie Ning nodded repeatedly and said, â1 still donât know my way around.â
There were indeed many rooms in the house: two suites with private toilets, one study, one guest room, and a housekeeperâs room. Even the housekeeperâs room had its own attached bathroom.
Ning Xiaoyu and her daughter had never even dared to imagine such a house, let alone see it.
Ye Xiaofei smiled and suggested, âYouâll be familiar with the house soon after you move in.â
âThen, Brother Xiaofei, which room do you live in?â Ning Xiaoyu tilted her head and asked.
âMe?â Ye Xiaofei said. âI wonât be living here.â
âIf you donât want to stay, then we donât dare to stay,â Auntie Ning immediately said.
âIâll stay!â Ye Xiaofei hurriedly said. âIâm staying! However, Iâm busy now and canât stay here for long. Iâll just stay in the guest room.â
Auntie Ning responded, âHow can that be? You have to stay in the master bedroom. Youâre the owner of the house.â
âYes!â Ning Xiaoyu immediately said. âThatâs right! The biggest and best room should be for Brother Xiaofei to stay in.â
Ye Xiaofei shook his head and answered, âThat wonât do. The eldest must live in the best room. Besides, Iâm not at home often, so itâs not a waste for me to have a good room. Just listen to me. Iâll stay in the guest room. This way, itâll feel more like my old room too. Xiaoyu, are you not going to listen to your brother?â
âAll right, weâll listen to you then.â Ning Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue.
Auntie Ningâs eyes were red as she choked and said, âXiaofei, I donât know what to say. Even if youâre like my biological son, 1 couldnât accept this.â
Ye Xiaofei laughed and said, âJust treat me as your own son.â
Auntie Ning wiped her tears and said, âOkay, then 1 wonât treat you as an outsider. Weâll stay here.â
âYay! Weâll live in a big house!â Ning Xiaoyu immediately shouted and jumped around happily.
Ning Xiaoyu ran to Ye Xiaofei and suddenly hugged him. Then, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek.
Ye Xiaofei was a little confused. What was that little girl doing right under her motherâs nose? He subconsciously glanced at Auntie Ning.
Auntie Ning clearly saw all of that, but at that moment, she stood up with a smile and uttered, â1â11 go to my room and tidy up.â
She actually ignored the two of them. Or rather, that was tacit consent and supportâ¦.
