Free Web NovelChapter 695: Chapter 241: Bai Weixi and Zhong Tingyue’s Offensive and Defensive Alliance_3
Bai Weixi blinked and replied, "It’s pouring outside. Let’s wait for the rain to stop before we go back."
"Let’s listen to Weixi. We’ll go back to school after the rain stops." Zhong Tingyue didn’t want to return to school either. After all, the small beds there were nothing compared to the comfort of the large beds in this villa. Besides, it was the weekend with no classes, so they could definitely stay here.
Since both his girlfriends were reluctant to leave, Li Yuan, who didn’t want to go back either, naturally had no objections. Last night, he had finally managed to make *that* happen. Now was the perfect opportunity to strike while the iron was hot and further ease the tension between Zhong Tingyue and Bai Weixi. With the heavy rain outside, they couldn’t go anywhere.
"Alright, then we’ll stay home," Li Yuan smiled.
"Brother, aren’t you going to show me around your house?" Bai Weixi suddenly asked.
"Show you around?" Li Yuan was slightly startled. Seeing her expectant gaze, he nodded. It was normal for her to be curious about the villa, as she hadn’t had a chance to see it yet.
"Sure," Li Yuan said with a smile. "I just bought this villa not long ago, and this is my first time staying here too. Bai, Little Moon, you two can help me see if anything needs adjusting."
As he spoke, he secretly shot Zhong Tingyue a meaningful look. They had viewed this villa together, and they had bought everything inside it together. One could say that Zhong Tingyue was more like the lady of the house here, even more familiar with it than he was. But at this moment, he couldn’t tell Bai Weixi that directly. Otherwise, knowing her temperament, she would surely have a meltdown and explode with anger. Given how obedient and well-behaved Bai Weixi had been lately, Li Yuan couldn’t bear to torment her. That would be too cruel.
Zhong Tingyue met Li Yuan’s gaze and pouted, huffing inwardly. What a scoundrel. He lied to me when we came to see this place, saying it would be our new home. And now? Not even two weeks have passed, and he’s already brought another woman into my house. Though reluctant, Zhong Tingyue decided to play along obediently.
...
Li Yuan led Bai Weixi and Zhong Tingyue on a tour, starting in the basement.
"This is the villa’s basement, which is about 100 square meters. I plan to divide it into two areas. One will be a vault for storing jewelry, gold, and similar valuables. The other part will be a wine cellar and collectibles room to store fine spirits, antiques, and curios. Of course, it’s completely empty right now. I’ll go buy some wine to stock it soon. What do you two think?"
Zhong Tingyue naturally had no objections. Bai Weixi, however, earnestly surveyed the "basement." It was a massive space; its 100 square meters of interior area were equivalent to an apartment of over 120 square meters. Using such a large area just for storage seems a bit wasteful, she thought, though she was too embarrassed to say it aloud. The more I learn about Li Yuan, the thicker the fog surrounding him becomes. Every time I think I’ve peeled back one layer, another one appears. It’s like I can never truly see or understand him...
"It’s very nice," Bai Weixi said, giving Li Yuan a deep look.
Li Yuan smiled and led them to the first floor, continuing the tour primarily for Bai Weixi’s benefit. "The first floor has the living room, kitchen, a guest bathroom, a nanny’s room, and a guest room. Outside, there’s a small garden that could be turned into a sunroom for growing flowers and other plants..."
Then, the three of them moved on to the second and third floors.
"Look at this. I’m planning to turn this into a home theater and KTV room. You can lounge around in here to watch movies or sing. It’s much more comfortable than watching TV in the living room." As he spoke, he switched on the KTV mode. Flashing lights of all colors began to pulse around the entertainment room. "Hee hee, Bai, Little Moon, want to test out the sound system?"
Bai Weixi stared in shock as the home theater transformed into a private KTV. What kind of incredible life is this? A three-story villa with a basement, over 700 square meters... Living here would be unbelievably blissful. You could tend to flowers, take relaxing baths, and stand on the balcony to watch the bustling scenery of Modu. In your free time, you could just lie here, watch a movie, or sing for a while... This is the absolute peak of a refined lifestyle. Is this how real tycoons live? Is this the power my man wields? Could I... live here one day? A storm of thoughts flashed through Bai Weixi’s mind, and her gaze on Li Yuan grew even more complex. She suddenly felt a pang of inferiority. Compared to Li Yuan, I’m just an ordinary, pretty college student, completely outclassed in every way...
The sound system and projector on the third floor had been installed for a while, but Zhong Tingyue had never tried them. Hearing Li Yuan’s suggestion, she was suddenly eager to give it a go. Since she felt like this was her own home, she wasn’t the least bit shy.
"Hee hee, I’ll give it a try!"
Zhong Tingyue turned on the sound system and computer, found a song by S.H.E. called "Super Star," and started to sing softly, "[You smile, and I sing praises; you frown, and my heart aches. I have no time to think of myself...]"
As Zhong Tingyue sang, Li Yuan listened to the audio quality. The speakers were indeed excellent—even better than the ones at the standard KTV he had visited with Xia Zhijin the other day.
