Chapter 216: House
Chapter 216
She felt that Chi Yan's possessiveness was growing stronger. It was evident from their sleeping habits; if she wasn't in his arms, he would surely wake up or reach for her in his sleep.
He would use both his hands and feet to cling to her body.
After lying there for a while longer, Chu Yang felt hungry and called out, "Chi Yan, I'm hungry."
Chi Yan's voice was still sleepy as he replied, "Mmm, Aunt should have prepared the meal by now. Let's get up."
Chi Yan released his hold on her and sat up. He got out of bed naked, walked to the wardrobe, opened it, and took out clothes to put on. Then he retrieved Chu Yang's clothes and helped her dress.
"Ouch," Chu Yang cried out in pain as she lifted her foot. "It's all your fault."
"Yes, yes, it's my fault," Chi Yan said with an indulgent expression.
He picked up the clothes from the floor and took them to the washing machine to clean.
As they were about to leave the room, the cook, Aunt, had just finished preparing the meal. "Breakfast is ready," she announced.
"Thank you, Aunt," they replied.
Aunt left after preparing the meal, planning to return in the evening to cook dinner and wash the dishes.
Having Aunt cook for them was quite convenient. They could have a meal ready as soon as they woke up, without needing to order takeout or cook themselves. After eating, the couple sat on the sofa, enjoying their weekend leisure time.
Chu Yang was reading a book. She had nearly finished most of the books she had brought back from Sophia's place. After some thought, she said to Chi Yan, "I want to bring back all the books from the castle and Sophia's place, but there seem to be too many."
Chu Yang frowned. Besides the books, there were other things as well. It would be a big project, and it seemed somewhat difficult to accomplish.
"We can do it. I'll make the arrangements," Chi Yan said.
Chu Yang looked at him and asked, "Really? There are so many things, and I'm worried they might get lost if we just mail them."
Chi Yan nodded, "It's possible. We have a private jet. We can fly over and bring everything back. But the study here is a bit small. Should we consider moving to a new place?"
They had been living here mainly because it was close to the university, but he rarely went to school now. As for Chu Yang, she could drive to school.
After saying this, Chi Yan immediately called Qi Jie, "Help me organize the information about my properties." He wanted to choose a new place with Chu Yang.
Chu Yang: ... She had forgotten that Chi Yan was wealthy for several generations.
After giving the instructions, Chi Yan asked her, "When do you want to go?"
Chu Yang thought for a moment, "There's no rush. Let's wait until the summer break, and when you have time." She knew how busy Chi Yan was. Perhaps because Grandfather Chi couldn't work too hard and didn't come to the company very often, Chi Yan was being groomed to take over quickly. He had many responsibilities, sometimes even receiving calls late at night.
Soon, Qi Jie collected all the information about Chi Yan's properties and sent it over. Chi Yan opened it on his computer to show Chu Yang, "Where would you like to live?"
Chu Yang leaned in to look and was astounded. This man even owned a traditional courtyard house.
"How do you have so many properties?" she asked.
Chi Yan replied nonchalantly, "People tend to gift properties for my birthdays. This courtyard house was left to me by my grandmother."
Chu Yang: ... She felt tears of envy welling up. Is this what it means to be rich? Gifting houses like they're cabbages.
High-rise apartments in the city center, villas in the suburbs, lakeside buildings, riverside properties: Chu Yang was dazzled by the choices.
Chi Yan suggested, "Why don't we go and see them in person? You can see which one you like. If you don't like any of them, I can buy a new one."
Chu Yang shook her head, "Don't buy anymore. Leave some houses for others." Some people couldn't even afford one house, while others bought them like vegetables.
"Then I'll take you to see them," he said.
"Alright."
Chu Yang went to change her clothes and sat in front of the mirror to apply makeup. Chi Yan sat beside her, "Shall I draw your eyebrows?"
Chu Yang pushed him away, "No way. If you make my eyebrows crooked, we won't be going out today."
"Why not?"
"Because I'll break your legs."
Chi Yan immediately put down the eyebrow pencil and sat obediently, "I'll just wait for you here."
"Hmm."
His obedience lasted less than two minutes before he leaned in to kiss her.
Chu Yang pushed him away, "I've put stuff on my face."
"Then I'll kiss somewhere else."
He proceeded to kiss her neck, leaving a plum blossom mark. Thinking that a pair would look better, he continued to leave another one.
An hour later, Chu Yang was ready, and they left together.
They first went to see the courtyard house. It had been well-maintained and was ready for immediate occupancy. The two-courtyard house even had artificial hills, small bridges, and flowing water... It was a bit too large for just two people.
Chi Yan held her hand and said, "If we live here, we'll need to hire a full staff of servants and a housekeeper."
Chu Yang shook her head, "It's a bit far from your workplace, and it's too big."
"Then let's look at other places."
"Okay."
Afterward, Chi Yan took her to see the high-rise apartment in the city center. It was nice, but a bit far from the university. Finally, they chose a detached house in the Imperial Prosperity community, which wasn't far from the city center or the university and had a large study.
It was a three-story house with a swimming pool and a small garden.
After making their choice, Chi Yan called to arrange for the place to be renovated. He had Qi Jie handle all the arrangements, while Chu Yang only needed to make the selection.
The internship period of one month passed quickly. On the last day, Chu Yang received her internship certificate with the Chi Corporation seal, and her performance was rated as excellent.
Everyone in the office told Chu Yang and Jin Yang, "If you want to join Chi Corporation after graduation, you'll definitely be accepted directly."
Jin Yang was very happy, as she had also received an excellent rating. The salary and benefits at Chi Corporation were top-notch in the industry, so it seemed like a great option for the future. However, there was still more than a year until graduation, so she'd think about it later.
As for Chu Yang, she was definitely planning to pursue a master's degree.
Since it was the last day, the office was planning a farewell gathering for them. Everyone agreed to meet for dinner after work, so Chu Yang told Chi Yan she wouldn't be leaving work with him that evening.
As it was Friday night and they didn't have to work the next day, Chu Yang didn't expect everyone to party so hard. After dinner, they all went to a bar together.
"My friend said there are hot guys dancing at HrieBa tonight. Let's hurry over there, girls!" one of them exclaimed.
"Let's go!" the others agreed enthusiastically.
Chu Yang naturally went along with everyone else. Jin Yang's face was full of excitement as he exclaimed, "Ah, ah, ah! I'm so thrilled!"
Inside the bar, energetic music and hot dancing filled the air. On the stage, hunky guys with eight-pack abs and overflowing testosterone were performing hip-thrusting dances. Below, the crowd was going wild, shouting and some even joining in the dancing.
Chu Yang and Jin Yang sat in their seats as a waiter brought over a drink. Chu Yang took a sip and then set it down, not drinking any more.
As for Miya and the others, they were already dancing in the middle of the crowd. Chu Yang even saw Susan reach out and grab a feel of one of the hot guy's abs!
"So this is the joy of being a rich lady," Chu Yang thought to herself.
Jin Yang looked at Chu Yang and said, "I want to go too."
Chu Yang nodded, "You go ahead. I'm married now, so it's not appropriate for me to join." She sighed after saying this.
