In short, the occupancy rate here is too high, and there are too many people.
If you like the hustle and bustle, it's fine, but neither Chen Feng nor Liu Ying liked such liveliness.
So, after they finished looking around, they weren't very satisfied with this place.
Next, the two drove to three other real estate agencies to view four more apartnts.
Two of the new apartnts were said to be sold with renovation, but after seeing them, the two were not very satisfied with the style, let alone the quality of the renovation.
The other two second-hand apartnts, one was about 150 square ters, the most expensive per square ter among the six properties, and also the oldest, nearly ten years old, costing more than 60,000 per square ter. However, the market price indeed demands that much.
This place is just 500 or 600 ters from East Lake, less than two kiloters from the obstetrics and gynecology hospital, and within three kiloters from a large supermarket and vegetable market. There are many schools nearby, from kindergartens to universities, with very complete supporting facilities.
Another advantage is that this property is in a mid-rise building, only 11 floors, and this apartnt is on the top 11th floor, with a small rooftop terrace available. Sitting on the terrace, you can see the beautiful scenery of East Lake from a distance. Therefore, this price can't be said to be expensive.
It's worth ntioning that the forr owner of this property obviously spent a lot of effort on the renovation, which was very fashionable and artistic, with relatively high-end furniture and appliances. The terrace has also been equipped with corresponding European-style decoration, with a transparent glass canopy for a full view.
According to the agency, this apartnt was listed just three days ago, but there have already been dozens of inquiries, with more than a dozen groups visiting in the past three days, at least half of whom showed strong purchasing intentions. It's just that because the price is a bit high, and the owner is unwilling to lower it, no one has bought it yet.
Chen Feng and the others, of course, wouldn't be foolish enough to fully believe the agency's words, but they were generally quite satisfied with this property. However, in front of the agent, they didn't say much and just said they would go back and consider it.
Then once they sat in the car, Chen Feng asked Liu Ying if she was satisfied with the property and if they should look at more options.
Liu Ying said she was quite satisfied with the property, but for safety's sake, they should have soone check it thoroughly for any potential issues, like if it's a haunted house or if it's been mortgaged, or subleased, etc., all of which need to be clarified.
Chen Feng agreed and imdiately called the property lawyer Lu Guancheng, giving him the new assignnt.
Chen Feng, being an old client with new business, of course, Lu Guancheng promptly took the job and first conducted a background check on the apartnt as requested by Chen Feng. He promised to reply once he had results.
By this ti, it was already noon. Sun Xiaorui, who had returned from work earlier, texted asking if he would co back for lunch, but Chen Feng declined.
Chen Feng then let Liu Ying guide them to find a nearby place to eat.
Liu Ying, being a native of Xiu Zhou City District, although having lived in another area before, was certainly more familiar than Chen Feng with the city district.'
Quickly under her direction, they went to a nearby local cuisine restaurant, ordered seven or eight dishes, which tasted decent and at least looked quite appealing. Liu Ying took several photos of every dish.
After the al, Chen Feng promptly drove her back to Red Villa Bay.
In villa e06, Chen Feng didn't rush to leave. After chatting about the house-buying stuff, he urged her to take a nap. Now that she's pregnant, she definitely can't get too tired, and naps are needed.
Then Liu Ying said she couldn't sleep alone, but maybe if he could hold her, she could.
In the end, Chen Feng just intended to hold her and sleep, purely sleeping, but she was sowhat restless, moving around like a squirming white silkworm in his arms, rubbing back and forth, which inevitably made him feel stirred up.
An hour later, they both freshened up.
With so worry, Chen Feng asked, "The baby won't be affected, right?"
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. As long as we're careful, and not too vigorous, there's no problem."
"That's good." Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
This ti, as they lay together again, their relationship instantly beca intimate and affectionate.
Chen Feng asked, "Do you have a suitable candidate for a nanny? Soone to prepare prenatal als for you and look after your daily life now. Ideally, soone who could also be a postpartum nanny to help take care of the baby later."
Liu Ying thought for a mont and said, "Actually, my mom would be perfect, she knows my temper and eating habits well, and she's my own mother, so I can trust her unconditionally."
Chen Feng had t her mom earlier, she was retired now and had nothing much to do at ho, so it was indeed best for her to care for her pregnant daughter.
However, if her parents knew she was pregnant, they would definitely push for marriage again.
As if seeing Chen Feng's concern, Liu Ying continued, "Don't worry, if my parents find out, they find out. I can't keep hiding it from them. I'll tell them that you are rather superstitious and can't get married for the next couple of years. I'll help you delay it for now. How does that sound?"
What could Chen Feng say? Liu Ying was their only daughter, and now that she was pregnant, they obviously couldn't hide it, nor could anyone else.
"Then you might as well go back to your parents' ho to rest and recuperate. Otherwise, if your mom cos over to take care of you, then there's no one to take care of your dad."
Liu Ying shook her head with a bitter smile and said, "Back then, I went against my parents' objections and married a foreigner, living abroad, and then returned ho in disgrace after the divorce, it already brought sha to my family. Over there, a lot of people living around are my parents' colleagues, neighbors also know us. If I go back now, unmarried and pregnant, obviously, with a big belly, people over there would gossip and say all sorts of things."
Chen Feng understood quite well and nodded, "Alright then, you can ask your mom to co and help take care of you. However, I'm afraid your mom might not be able to handle it, so it would be better to hire another helper for the house chores."
Liu Ying shook her head and refused, "My mom and I get along well enough. Having an outsider live with us would be uncomfortable for both of us. At most, I'll call my aunt or a few close friends over to hang out. It won't get too boring this way."
Seeing that she had her own ideas, Chen Feng didn't insist on hiring a nanny.
Liu Ying turned around and added, "I've been keeping my pregnancy from my parents all this ti. If I tell them, they will definitely co to you. You need to be ntally prepared. If they pressure you for marriage or anything, you'll have to hold your ground. I'll stand by you and speak up for you to the best I can."
Chen Feng felt a bit of a headache upon hearing this, but soon nodded in agreent, "Alright, I understand."
He knew there was no avoiding this issue, unless he was truly determined to abandon her baby.
