187: Chapter 0187: The Dream of Buying a House 187: Chapter 0187: The Dream of Buying a House After Wang Xiaoya’s emotions had stabilized, she took hold of Long Fei’s arm and they descended the stairs together.
Since she wasn’t leaving, the cafeteria staff didn’t dare to clock out.
Da Tou and a bunch of others were eavesdropping outside, gossiping for a good while after seeing Wang Xiaoya both laughing and crying inside.
Once the two of them left, the rest of the staff also finished their shifts.
By that ti, most of the office workers had departed.
The security guards greeted Long Fei as they saw him.
Ever since Xu Dong beca the security team leader, he was thinking about clocking out along with Caicai.
Long Fei didn’t really have much to chat about with the others, so he just smiled, took out a packet of cigarettes, and tossed it to them to share.
Everyone exclaid in surprise as they picked them up, “The boss must be rich now, even smoking Furong Wang!”
“Isn’t that the truth, the boss used to smoke Hongtashan.”
“When will we ever get to be like the boss?”
“Stop dreaming, it’s probably never gonna happen in this lifeti!”
The group sighed and began to share the cigarettes they had pulled out.
Long Fei wheeled his bicycle over.
Wang Xiaoya frowned at him and asked, “Have you gotten rich recently or sothing?
Why are you spending money so lavishly?”
Seeing Long Fei handing out cigarettes, a whole pack at a ti made her a bit unhappy.
Long Fei cleared his throat and admitted honestly, “I did make a little fortune.”
Wang Xiaoya hugged his waist and got on the bicycle, like a little wife keeping tabs, and asked, “How much?”
Long Fei inflated the figure, “About five hundred thousand.”
He didn’t ntion the three million he had invested in Lin Shanshan, afraid that it would scare Wang Xiaoya.
If she found out, she would definitely insist on buying a house and pushing him to marry her.
Indeed, as soon as he ntioned it, Wang Xiaoya scread in shock, “Five hundred thousand?
Where did you get that from?”
Long Fei lied, “Just from scratching lottery tickets, that’s how!”
“I don’t believe it!”
Wang Xiaoya looked at him skeptically, never believing that one could get rich from lottery tickets.
“It’s true, I’ll find an opportunity to show you, my luck has been super good lately.”
Long Fei continued to lie, he obviously couldn’t tell her that he had made the money from gambling.
Seeing his earnest expression, Wang Xiaoya began to believe him a little.
She pinched Long Fei hard, feeling frustrated, “You’ve made so much money, why are you only telling now?”
“I wanted to surprise you!”
Long Fei chuckled dryly.
Wang Xiaoya’s mind was racing with excitent, “Five hundred thousand, you could make a down paynt on a two-bedroom house in this city with that.
Later, we could pay off the mortgage together, and we’ll soon have our own ho!”
As expected, she had her heart set on a house, causing Long Fei to frown in worry.
With a house, she would surely start pressing for marriage.
Without settling the matter of the marriage contract, there was no way he could get married.
While on the road, Wang Xiaoya saw a bank and pointed to it in haste, “Quick, go there, I want to see what five hundred thousand looks like.”
“I’m hungry, can’t we check it out so other day?”
Long Fei tried to put it off.
Wang Xiaoya was not pleased, “Being hungry can wait for a bit, can’t it?
Are you afraid I’ll spend your money?”
“No, not at all!”
Fearing she would overthink, Long Fei quickly pedaled towards the bank.
He took out his bank card from his bag and handed it to her, generously saying, “Why would I be afraid?
My money is your money, you can spend it however you like!”
“That’s more like it!”
Wang Xiaoya puckered her small lips and pulled him inside with her, asking him to stand behind her.
She inserted the card, had Long Fei say the password, and pressed the inquiry button.
She leaned against Long Fei, afraid that she might faint.
After that string of digits appeared, Wang Xiaoya stared at the screen, carefully confirming the amount two or three tis.
Fifty-one thousand and a few odd three thousand, loose change and even numbers.
Indeed, it was the wealth of the man standing behind her.
He had gone from a penniless nobody to a wealthy handso man overnight, now possessing savings of over five hundred thousand.
Happiness had co so unexpectedly that Wang Xiaoya’s head really did spin a bit.
She took the card and gave it to Long Fei, hugged him tightly, unable to stop reveling in her joy.
Now their marriage plans finally seed to be taking shape.
That was her first thought, and she got so excited that tears uncontrollably welled up in her eyes.
Wang Xiaoya, who had struggled in this city for so many years, enduring helplessness and the coldness of reality, could finally have a ho of her own.
Long Fei looked at her, curiously furrowing his brows, “Why are you crying?”
“No!
Who’s crying!”
Wang Xiaoya wiped her eyes and looked up at Long Fei, “You’re going to marry , right?”
“Of course!”
Long Fei nodded.
Wang Xiaoya, excited, said, “Then let’s buy a house!
You pay the down paynt, I’ll pay the mortgage, and the property title can be in your na.
I just want to marry you, to have our own house together.”
Long Fei couldn’t comprehend the feeling that this dream was about to co true; it seed just like a dream.
He forced a laugh and suggested, “Now my salary has gone up to a hundred thousand, and there’s Lin Shanshan’s startup project—within a year we could buy a house in full.
We don’t need to rush, do we?”
Wang Xiaoya couldn’t wait, she urged him with knitted brows, “That’s all in the future; there’s no telling whether it’ll be profit or loss.
Right now, the interest rates on mortgages are so low, if you make money you can invest in sothing else!
We don’t have to put it all into a house; a down paynt is enough.”
Seeing her excitent, Long Fei felt embarrassed to refuse any longer.
If she wanted to buy, then let’s buy—after all, the money didn’t co from an honest path; if it’s spent, then it’s spent.
He agreed to Wang Xiaoya, “All right, then go back and look up so information on houses.
Once you find one, I’ll accompany you to buy it.”
“It’s a deal then!”
Wang Xiaoya’s face blood with joy as she hugged and kissed him spontaneously, wishing she could just drag Long Fei to look at houses right now.
After leaving the bank, Long Fei pedaled her back to her apartnt complex on his bike.
She had planned to spend the night together with Long Fei.
Once a man and a woman have been together for the first ti, the second ti cos involuntarily.
But now, with the house-buying plans, Wang Xiaoya couldn’t care less about those things.
She asked Long Fei a question at the foot of the building, waved a hand, and bid him farewell.
When she got back, she took out her notebook and hurriedly started looking up houses, squatting on the sofa.
Long Fei stood at the bottom of the building, covering his face, puzzled, “What’s the rush to go back?”
He was also feeling a bit itchy; Wang Xiaoya hadn’t brought it up, and he felt it wasn’t right to press the matter.
He pedaled his bike away dejectedly and went to a traditional Chinese dicine store at the entrance of the urban village.
If he couldn’t arrange a date, he might as well buy so dicine and just deal with it himself.
Spit spit, not deal with it—cultivate.
The traditional dicine store was packed with people, mostly students.
After Long Fei walked in, a woman suddenly shouted, “Brother-in-law, what brings you here?”
Long Fei looked over, and Lin Shanshan was sitting there with Li Wenwen.
He went over and asked curiously, “What are you doing here?
Is soone sick?”
Li Wenwen, dabbing at her nose with a tissue, looked at him pitifully, “I have a slight cold; two days of IVs didn’t help, so I thought about trying so Chinese dicine.”
Having just recently delved into ‘The Shennong Herbology’ and found much to learn, Long Fei sat down and told Li Wenwen, “I’ve been studying Chinese dicine these past few days.
Let have a look at you!”
