After the Young Master’s Death, He was Kissed by His Mortal Enemy! - Chapter 100

In this world, Cheng Yi was the only one who would speak to him in such a manner.

Consequently, Shen Ran didn’t even bother to look back; he simply held up his laptop and asked, “Cheng Yi, what do you think of this villa?”

“A villa?” Cheng Yi seemed a bit surprised, but he still leaned down slightly. “Let me see.”

As Cheng Yi skimmed through the real estate listing, Shen Ran waited patiently.

When it came to buying property, he truly didn’t have much experience. It was better to leave this kind of matter to Cheng Yi to act as a consultant.

Otherwise, he might fall into some trap again, losing money and suffering a setback.

“The location is alright, but the scale is a bit lacking. Most importantly, this is an old house from over a decade ago. If you’re going to buy a house, why not buy a new one?”

It was fine until he mentioned that; as soon as he did, Shen Ran felt a bit distressed.

“I can’t bear to spend the money! There are brand-new detached villas for sale in the East District, but do you know how expensive they are? I’m not buying those.”

“But this villa you’ve chosen, the distance between the houses is too small. I’m afraid you’ll end up disturbing the neighbors later.”

Shen Ran imagined the scene.

Tuoba running wild all over the house, while Xiao Dong and Xia Xingyuan chased each other around with plastic bags on their heads.

In the middle of the night, to a neighbor trying to sleep, his house would be emitting mysterious noises.

If the neighbor looked over out of curiosity, they might even see plastic bags, pillows, or clothes floating in mid-air.

It was a bit terrifying.

“But I really can’t increase the budget anymore,” Shen Ran said aggrievedly. “I can’t just exhaust all my funds on a house and live on the north wind afterwards, can I? That sounds quite pitiful.”

Cheng Yi spoke helplessly, “Your gallery brings in income every day; you won’t starve to death.”

“Not starving is one thing, but living a comfortable, lush life is quite another.”

Although he talked back to Cheng Yi like this, Shen Ran was already being swayed.

Given the current situation, to be responsible for everyone, he really had no choice but to honestly fork over more money and get a large house in one go.

“Don’t worry, Boss Shen. With me around, would I ever let you live an uncomfortable life?”

Cheng Yi laughed happily. He reached out, closed the laptop directly, and placed it on the desk, not allowing him to look anymore.

Shen Ran got a bit anxious. “Hey, hey, hey! I haven’t finished looking yet. Why did you shut it down?”

“What’s there to look at? You won’t find anything better just by staring. Alright, come with me.”

Shen Ran wanted to say something else, but Cheng Yi had already pulled him up from his wide, comfortable executive chair without giving him a choice.

“Where are we going?”

Shen Ran couldn’t help but ask as he followed Cheng Yi’s pace.

Cheng Yi didn’t look back. “Where else? To see our new home, of course.”

“?”

“A newly listed villa in the East District with a 3,000-square-meter courtyard. I bought it; it’s a gift for you.”

Shen Ran was dumbfounded.

Wait, what?

A villa in the East District? The very one he had just looked at and hesitated over because it was too expensive?

Cheng Yi bought it? Just like that, so easily? When did this happen?

“I didn’t just buy one; I bought two units. Don’t worry, that group of spirits you’ve taken in won’t scare anyone, and they won’t be homeless.”

With such a large courtyard, they really wouldn’t disturb anyone, and there was enough space for them to run wild.

Allowing Cheng Yi to lead him by the hand, Shen Ran’s mouth hung slightly open, feeling as if he were in a dream.

They walked through his gallery, passed Lin Huohuo, who was busy receiving clients, and got into the elevator, then into Cheng Yi’s car.

Only then did Shen Ran seem to snap back to reality, sighing from the bottom of his heart, “Cheng Yi, you are so cool.”

Hearing this, the corners of Cheng Yi’s mouth curled up. “No need to praise my looks; that trick doesn’t work on me.”

“.”

“You just need to like me a little more.”

“Stop flirting, President Cheng. I’m already head over heels, seriously.”

Cheng Yi had truly bought two villas in the East District. The location was perfect, with mountains in the back and water to the side.

Most importantly, according to the terrain planning, there were only these two villas in this particular area.

Swiping the card to open the door of one of the villas, Cheng Yi pulled the astonished Shen Ran inside.

“I didn’t buy a shell house, so both we and they can move in immediately with just our bags. If you aren’t satisfied with the interior design later, I’ll find someone to redesign it.”

“I’m satisfied! I’m satisfied! I’m satisfied with everything!”

Shen Ran didn’t have particularly high requirements for living conditions to begin with, especially since he didn’t have to spend his own money. Naturally, he couldn’t find a single thing to complain about.

“But Cheng Yi, when did you buy the villa? How come I didn’t know?”

Cheng Yi gave a mysterious smile. “It’s a secret.”

After wandering upstairs and downstairs, Shen Ran found everything to his liking. “This is almost as big as the Shen family mansion!”

“It’s still a bit smaller than the Shen mansion, but what matters most is that Boss Shen likes it.”

Walking through the rooms, Shen Ran had already planned which room would be the bedroom for him and Cheng Yi.

The more he looked, the more satisfied he felt. Not wanting to delay, he decided they should just start moving in right away.

The villa in the East District was fully equipped, and they weren’t planning to abandon the apartment forever, so the two of them only needed to pack miscellaneous items like clothes.

And, of course, they had to bring along the one big spirit, the one small spirit, and the one dog.

Upon learning they were moving to a new home with Shen Ran and Cheng Yi, Xiao Dong was very happy, but the usually cheerful Xia Xingyuan seemed a bit hesitant.

“Shen Ran, the reason you and President Cheng are suddenly moving, it couldn’t be because of us, could it?”

Xia Xingyuan seemed a bit nervous, looking up at Shen Ran and Cheng Yi with uncertainty.

“Are we bothering you?”

Shen Ran nodded bluntly. “Bothering us? It is a bit of a bother. You’re disturbing the neighbors’ rest, and I even have to go and apologize to them.”

“I’m so sorry.”

“But having said that, there will be times when I’ll need your help in the future. Following me isn’t exactly living for free, so I’m actually quite happy about it.”

Xia Xingyuan’s eyes, which had dimmed just a moment ago, immediately lit up.

Seeing Xia Xingyuan’s reaction, Shen Ran’s eyes crinkled into a smile. “Xiao Xia, shall we go? Go see the great place President Cheng has prepared for you.”

Having been a spirit himself, Shen Ran knew how helpless and lost they could feel.

Beneath Xia Xingyuan’s bright and sunny exterior lay a sensitive, apprehensive heart.

So, if he could hold up an umbrella for them, Shen Ran didn’t want to let them stand in the rain.

Both Xiao Dong and Tuoba loved the new home. As soon as they arrived, they began to frolic in the courtyard.

Xia Xingyuan, on the other hand, meticulously familiarized himself with the interior and exterior of the villa. After thanking Shen Ran and Cheng Yi, he naturally went back to look after Xiao Dong and Tuoba.

“Xiao Dong, run slower! Be careful not to fall! Wait, it doesn’t really matter even if we fall.”

Shen Ran watched them for a while longer. Realizing that the luggage they brought hadn’t been unpacked yet, he finally pulled Cheng Yi back inside.

“Oh my, Tuoba has Xiao Dong to look after him, and Xiao Dong now has his Big Brother Xia to dote on him.”

Shen Ran intentionally raised his voice. “Everyone has someone to take care of them. Why is nobody coming to take care of me?”
