“Cousin, do you need a lackey?” Chu Xue stared at her cousin with her big eyes.
Upon hearing Chu Xue’s frivolous question, Chu Yang replied with an irritated tone, “No, I don’t. Hurry up and think about where you want to go later!”.
“Since I came to visit Haoyu City, you should guide me around! Cousin, we will go wherever you say! I believe that you will not disappoint me!” Chu Xue said to him with a smile.
“You little girl.” When Chu Yang heard Xue’er’s words, he could only helplessly shake his head.
At the same time, the waiter came in with the dishes. Chu Yang did not say anything else.
“The food is here. Try them. This restaurant has really good reviews. Many people have complimented their food,” Chu Yang said to Xue’er, who was sitting opposite to him.
“Yes, yes.” Actually, while she was watching the food being served to them, Xue’er already could not hold back. The food aroma was too good. When she heard Chu Yang’s words, she immediately picked up her chopsticks.
Seeing Xue’er’s reaction, Chu Yang was very pleased with his choice of restaurant. Having taken into consideration that Xue’er is still underage, Chu Yang ordered a bottle of soft drink and a pot of tea, instead of alcohol.
The two of them began to happily enjoy their lunch.
…
After the meal, Chu Yang went straight to the front desk to pay the bill.
They had only eaten six dishes for lunch today, totaling over 470 dollars. Although it was a little expensive, having seen that Xue’er had enjoyed the food well, Chu Yang felt satisfied as well.
After their dinner, the sky gradually darkened. Haoyu City is brightly lit at night. It felt no different from daytime. In fact, it looked even brighter than the day.
Chu Yang brought Xue’er back to the car and drove toward the Jade Garden.
In the car, Xue’er looked at Chu Yang and realized that he must be bringing her to his house to stay. Out of curiosity, Xue’er asked Chu Yang, “Cousin, how big is your house? Will it be able to accommodate me?”.
“Haha, perhaps I really need you to sleep on the floor. I might only have one bed at my place,” Chu Yang teased.
“Ah, it can’t be. Is there a hotel near your house? I’ll get a room instead. To sleep on the floor on such a day feels so painful and sad.” Having believed in Chu Yang words, Xue’er said pitifully.
“Haha, I was just scaring you. How can there not be a place for you to stay? Don’t worry, you’ll know when you get there. Now, have a good rest in the car,” Chu Yang said to her calmly.
Chu Yang did not tell Xue’er straightforwardly that they are on their way to the Jade Garden. His house is considered the No. 1 Villa among the rest. After all, saying it out loud would feel like he is bragging. This does not fit well with his low-key personality.
For the rest of the journey, the two of them sat in silence. Xue’er was quietly looking at the bustling night scenery outside Haoyu City while Chu Yang focused on driving.
The two of them soon arrived at the entrance of Jade Garden. After Chu Yang showed the security guard his access card, he drove directly to his No. 1 Villa.
Having arrived at his villa, Chu Yang found the girl asleep in the backseat when he was about to ask her to get out of the car.
“Xue’er, wake up. We’re here.” Chu Yang had no choice but to open the backseat door and gently wake Xue’er up.
“Alright, Cousin, we reached?” Xue’er, who had just been woken up by Chu Yang, rubbed her eyes that have yet to open as she asked Chu Yang in a daze.
“Yes, we’re here. Let’s go.” Seeing the girl’s dazed look, Chu Yang said helplessly to her.
Xue’er obediently got out of the car. However, once she just got off, she realized that she is standing in front of a luxury villa. She immediately cried out, “Wow, Cousin, this is your house?”
“Cousin, why didn’t you tell me that you actually bought a villa? You even lied to me that there was no room for anyone.”
“Calm down, calm down. Alright, let’s go in.” Seeing Xue’er’s surprised expression, Chu Yang calmly waved. He took Chu Xue’s luggage from the car and beckoned for her to enter.
However, right after entering the door, Chu Xue was once again shocked.
The huge living room, the luxurious decorations, the warm and comfortable lights in the room. All these things gathered together made Chu Xue involuntarily let out a gasp.
“Cousin, your house is so beautiful.”
“It’s alright. Its beauty is only meant for people to see. Come in and take a seat.” Hearing Xue’er’s surprised voice, Chu Yang’s heart swelled with pride, but on the surface, he had to maintain a calm expression.
After inviting Xue’er to sit down, Chu Yang took out a drink from the refrigerator and handed it to her.
“On the second floor of this house, other than my bedroom, the other rooms are all empty. You can choose one and I will help you bring your luggage up. The housekeepers visit every day so all the rooms are very clean.”
“Cousin, I’m going to choose my room.” Upon hearing Chu Yang’s words, Xue’er immediately jumped up from the sofa and walked to the second floor.
There are actually many rooms in No. 1 Villa. There are three on the first floor, four on the second floor; three other rooms besides the master bedroom on the second floor. However, the decor of each room is different.
After slowly browsing through the four rooms on the second floor, Chu Xue chose the room decorated in pink on the second floor. That room is very in line with her aesthetic preferences.
“Cousin, I want this room,” Xue’er stood in the aisle on the second floor and said to Chu Yang who was sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor.
“Okay, I’ll bring your luggage up.” Chu Yang immediately stood up and carried Chu Xue’s suitcase upstairs.
Once Chu Xue’s luggage was placed in the chosen room, Chu Yang brought Xue’er around the villa for a tour. After the tour, the two of them sat in the living room and chatted while watching TV.
However, after watching TV for a while, Chu Xue began to yawn.
Chu Xue just had a flight today. Upon touching down, they immediately went to the restaurant for dinner. Now that she is at home, it is normal for her to be tired.
Seeing Xue’er’s expression, Chu Yang suggested, “Xue’er, are you sleepy? Go and rest for the night. I’ll bring you around tomorrow.”.
“Okay. Cousin, I’ll go to bed first.” Chu Xue did not refuse and nodded in agreement.
“Okay, go to bed. The room is an en-suite, and the toiletries are brand new. You can use them if you want to wash up.” Chu Yang said to Chu Xue as she head upstairs.
Chu Xue went straight upstairs, following Chu Yang’s instructions, and washed up. After washing up, she got into bed and fell asleep almost immediately.
Seeing that Chu Xue had turned in, Chu Yang continued to watch TV in the living room before taking out his phone. He had planned to play Texas hold ’em for a while.
Unsure if it was because he had been driving for a long time or some other reason, after playing Texas hold ’em for a while, Chu Yang actually felt a little sleepy.
Hence after ending the game, Chu Yang closed the app and prepared to go back to his room to sleep.
Chu Yang, who was lying in bed at night, thought about his future direction before falling asleep from the fatigue accumulated from the day.
…
At 7 am, Chu Yang’s biological clock made him open his eyes.
Looking at the time, Chu Yang decided to get up and get ready for the day.
Entering the living room, Chu Yang immediately opened the refrigerator to start preparing for a simple breakfast. He took out the noodles in the refrigerator.
Chu Yang boiled the water to cook the noodles in. It would take some time for the noodles to be cooked, so Chu Yang took out the ham from the refrigerator and prepared to slice it.
In case Chu Xue couldn’t get used to the noodles, Chu Yang took the bread out and baked a piece in the toaster. He then fried two eggs for her.
The breakfast was prepared very quickly. Chu Yang had prepared two bowls of noodles among other dishes and brought them to the dining table. He was ready to go upstairs and ask Chu Xue to come down for breakfast.
However, just as Chu Yang was about to walk up the stairs, he saw Chu Xue walking out of her room.
“Cousin, did you make breakfast? It smells good.” Chu Xue could smell the fragrance of ham the moment she opened her room door..
