âYang, you really have a villa?â
Xu Wenqian exclaimed in surprise, her curiosity piqued.
âDaddy, do we really own a big villa??â
Xixi blinked her big eyes, her small face full of shock, and her gaze held scrutiny as if to say: how could you keep such a big secret from me!!
Yang Hao, feeling like his boast had backfired, cleared his throat: âUm, yes, there is a villa.â
âWow~â
âWe have a big villa!!â
Xixi whooped in affirmation.
Then, with a giggly voice, she asked, âDaddy, can we let auntie stay there??â
âCough coughâ¦â
As soon as Xixi finished speaking, Xu Wenqian nudged the little girlâs armpit, and then Xixi added: âAnd auntie Wenqian too.â
Xu Wenqian nodded in satisfaction, her eyes shining with a gentle light.
Well, these days spent with the child werenât in vain!
âOf course!â
Yang Hao smiled and nodded.
âYay~!â
âAuntie, auntie Wenqian, now you can come live in the big villa at our place!â
Xixi said excitedly.
âMhm mhm mhmâ¦â
Xu Wenqian nodding enthusiastically, pinched the chubby cheeks of the little girl.
Li Manni, however, just smiled and shook her head, as children often have such wild imaginations.
âYang, where are we going now?â
Xu Wenqianâs thoughts turned back to the present.
âStar Cloud Bay.â
Yang Hao replied indifferently.
âHuh?â
âStar Cloud Bay??â
Xu Wenqian was shocked; that was one of Jiangchengâs most famous luxury residences, and of course, she knew of it.
Li Manni, of course, knew about it too, and she was just as astounded.
Although she knew her brother-in-law had made it big and had even become the president of the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group, she hadnât imagined he would move to Star Cloud Bay!
âXixi, auntie Wenqian doesnât want to live in the big villa anymore.â
âLiving with you in Star Cloud Bay is good enoughâ¦â
Xu Wenqian said, hugging Xixi and speaking with a beaming smile.
âWhatâs Star Cloud Bay?â
âWhy doesnât auntie Wenqian want to live in the big villa anymore??â
In Xixiâs mind, naturally, a big villa was better.
âWenqian, I really did save a room for you,â Yang Hao teased with a chuckling smile.
âAh?â
âReally??â
Xu Wenqian was thrilled; she had just been joking, but to her surprise, Yang Hao had actually played along.
âYeah!â
âYouâll see when we get there!â
Yang Hao smiled mysteriously, for the large flat in Star Cloud Bay indeed had a room for a nanny.
Xu Wenqian had a knack for taking care of children, and Xixi liked her a lot, so she might indeed be developed into a little nanny for the house in the futureâ¦
Half an hour later.
Yang Hao arrived at Star Cloud Bay with the three of them.
âSo this is how rich peopleâs houses look like, huh? Even the elevator lobby is so spacious!â
While waiting for the elevator, Xu Wenqian marveled.
Xixi was running around a money tree, clearly loving the glitzy environment.
The elevator stopped on the 28th floor.
And when the elevator doors opened, both Xu Wenqian and Xixi let out a âWow.â
Since the hallway from the elevator to the front door was private, Meng Chacha had Ai Yongyi do the design, choosing a childlike style to please Xixi, the little princess, with bright colors.
The moment the elevator doors opened, it was as if they stepped into another world. From a kidâs perspective, it was bound to be lovable, and even from an adultâs perspective, it wouldnât seem childish, especially for those with children who would feel a warm family atmosphere.
Yang Hao had not visited during the decorating process, so this was his first time seeing the completed effect.
He silently gave Meng Chacha a thumbs up.
Thought to himself: Chacha deserves a reward!!
Although the hallway was beautifully designed, its actual function was to serve as a âshoe bar.â
âWe havenât even entered the house and itâs already this luxurious!â
âRich peopleâs lives are definitely beyond our commonersâ imagination!â
Xu Wenqian remarked again.
Xixi ran ahead of Yang Hao, asking excitedly, âIs all this ours?â
âYes, itâs all ours!â
Yang Hao picked up the little girl, then used facial recognition to open the front door before putting Xixi down: âGo on, this is our new home!â
âWow~~â
âItâs so big~~â
Xixi ran into the living room, looking all around, her eyes clearly not big enough to take it all in.
âAh!!â
âThis is the legendary Star Cloud Bay!!â
Xu Wenqian cried out in amazement, following Xixiâs lead into the living room, and the pair began to explore the home chaotically.
Li Manni, seeing such a large house for the first time as well, had a much calmer disposition than Xu Wenqian and did not flutter about as wildly.
She walked beside Yang Hao, curiously asking, âBrother-in-law, how big is this place?â
â688 square meters.â
âHuh?â
âThatâs huge!!â
Li Manni was inwardly astounded.
âIâve saved a room for you, so you can stay anytime.â
âIn a bit, Iâll take you to register your face with the property managementâ¦â
Yang Hao said as he led Li Manni to the bedroom he had reserved for her.
(Hereâs the floor plan again for better understanding)
Opposite the master bedroom, there were two north-facing bedrooms. Yang Hao converted the smaller one into a study, and the larger one was reserved for Li Manni.
âThis bedroom is so big!â
The bedroom reserved for Li Manni was nearly thirty square meters, and with the bathroom and walk-in closet, it was over forty square meters, which naturally was much larger than the ten-plus square meter bedroom where Li Manni was currently living.
â`
However, Li Manni had not yet seen Yang Haoâs master bedroom or Xixiâs secondary bedroom. Otherwise, after making the comparison, she probably wouldnât have made such a remark.
âAuntie, my bedroom is so big and so beautifulâ¦â
âIâll take you to see it!â
At this moment, Xixi ran over, took Li Manniâs hand, and cheerfully exclaimed.
Clearly, the little girl wanted to share her joy with her aunt.
âMhm, auntie will take a look.â
Li Manni apparently did not want to disappoint her, and together they went to her princess room.
âYang, didnât you say you saved a room for me?â
âWhich one is it?â
At this time, Xu Wenqian found Yang Hao and asked expectantly.
âWell, itâs the one you get to by going through the kitchenâ¦â
Yang Hao replied with a chuckle.
âHuh?â
âThe maidâs room!!â
Xu Wenqian rolled her eyes in frustration.
âI prefer to call it the guest room.â
Yang Hao replied with a smile.
Calling it the maidâs room, thatâs the low EQ way to say it.
â¦
Fuhai Lanwan Residential Area.
Liu Zifeng picked up Wei Facai.
Both men brought their families along, and at this moment, Feng Lina sat in the front passenger seat.
Wei Facai and his wife Yao Jiahui, however, sat in the back.
The two families had gotten to know each other through Yang Hao, and it had been over a decade, so they were quite familiar with each other.
âFeng, I see that Hao sent us the location for Star Cloud Bay!â
âIsnât that the guy who won fifty thousand first-prize lottery tickets?â
After getting in the car, Wei Facai asked with a teasing tone.
âHao inherited a fortune, youâve seen the Xihong City richest man, right?â
âLike Wang Duoyu!â
Liu Zifeng had speculated this at their last dinner, and Yang Hao, seeing his brother had made up a reasonable story for him, just went along with it.
âHuh?â
âThatâs too fantastical!â
âYou might as well say Hao has a system, or he was reborn!â
Wei Facai teased, chuckling. He had always enjoyed literature, even joining the poetry society at his university.
Heâd read his fair share of both Chinese and foreign classics, but that stuff was too draining. After a long dayâs work, why stress over classics when one could relax? Eventually, he dived headfirst into the world of web novels, so he was quite familiar with systems, rebirth, and all that.
âOh come on!â
âYou believe in web novels too!â
Liu Zifeng laughed and shook his head.
The group chatted and laughed, and soon they reached the famous Star Cloud Bay in Jiangcheng.
âI canât even imagine, Hao has become one of the owners of Star Cloud Bay!â
Looking at the majestic entrance of the residential area, Wei Facai couldnât help but express his amazement.
âWhatâs so surprising about that? Hao used to run five hot pot restaurants, remember?â
âIt just shows, Hao has the destiny for great wealth and prosperity!â Liu Zifeng said with a laugh.
Wei Facai nodded, then sentimentally added, âI donât have that destiny in this lifetime, just working for others!â
âWei, thatâs where youâre wrong!â
Liu Zifeng retorted, waving his hand and then asked, âWho are we?â
âWho are we??â
Wei Facai looked at Liu Zifeng with a confused face and then said, âI am Wei Facai, and you are Liu Zifeng, right?â
âNo, no, no, that was before Hao made his fortune!â
âNow that Hao is wealthy, weâre his right-hand men!â Liu Zifeng said with a smug look on his face.
âMore like Wolong and young phoenix!â
Yao Jiahui couldnât help but interject from the side. She was quite familiar with Liu Zifeng and didnât need to hold back.
âRight, right, right, my wise sisterâs words exactly!â
Feng Lina quickly agreed.
As they talked, they had already arrived at the entrance, and since Yang Hao had notified the property management, Liu Zifeng just mentioned his name and they were let in directly.
Not only that, but a security guard even escorted the four to the building where Yang Hao lived.
Taking the elevator up to the 28th floor, Yang Hao was already waiting at the door.@@novelbin@@
âHao, congratulations on your new home!â
Exiting the elevator, Liu Zifeng immediately said with a laugh.
Neither he nor Wei Facai came empty-handed; Liu Zifeng brought a painting, while Wei Facai carried a large decorative vase, and they both prepared a generous red envelope, showing their sincerity.
âDamn!â
âSo this is what 688 square meters look like!!â
After entering the house, Liu Zifeng couldnât help but swear.
âIâm afraid Iâll get lost!â
Wei Facai also couldnât help but share his feelings.
Meanwhile, Feng Lina and Yao Jiahui were both shocked and curious as they looked around the house.
Feng Lina had already heard about Yang Haoâs 688-square-meter mansion from her cousin Guan Mengmeng, but hearing and seeing for oneself were two completely different things.
Being in this mansion herself, she was still shocked, and at the same time, she was a bit anxious for her cousin on the inside.
With such conditions, you need to try harder to catch this guy!
Li Manni knew Liu Zifeng and Wei Facai and had met them several times before, so their meeting this time was not at all awkward.
âLetâs sit down in the dining room!â
âWe can eat and talkâ¦â
Yang Hao had hired a professional private chef, and by now the table was filled with colorful and appetizing dishes.
âAlright, weâre not going home unless weâre drunk today!â
âCome on, Wei, donât chicken out~!â
Liu Zifeng, the biggest drinker of the three, naturally wanted to drink freely on such an occasion.
Everyone took their seats and then raised their glasses together.
âWei, the great poet.â
âIsnât this when you should recite a poem for us?â Liu Zifeng teased with a laugh.
Wei Facai shrugged, âI do have a line of poetry Iâd like to dedicate to the current Haoâ¦â
âGo on!â
Yang Hao nodded to Wei Facai.
The seasoned web novel reader and former poet took a deep breath and then said, âRiding the wind and breaking the waves, there will be times; hanging the clouds and setting sail to cross the sea!â
