Chapter 721: Chapter 359: Deceptive Since Childhood_2

The Sixth Miss Guo, a curious sort, followed Xu Xiaoyan up. Yan Fei had already tidied up the house.

Before she could spew out a few sentences, she anxiously said, "Don’t you guys have a new house? Hurry up and show me. I have to leave soon and I’ve got no time left!"

Soon, Boss Wang Lei and a group of workers witnessed a surprising scene. A car drove up and unloaded six people. Thankfully, cars these days sport spacious interiors, or seating four people in the back row wouldn’t have been an easy feat.

The three girls couldn’t help exclaiming at the sight of the house — not to mention the two large lions, standing over three meters high without their pedestals, had also arrived. It was certainly quite a majestic sight.

Although the house wasn’t finished, its scale was already perceptible. Boss Wang, standing nearby, explained, "Once the exterior walls are finished, they’ll be painted a shade of red. It’ll look wonderful. Red walls, green trees, and these two stone lions. Living here will definitely bring you peace of mind. Inside, everything from electricity to plumbing will be installed discreetly. This is meant for convenience, a blend of the old and the new."

Xu Xiaoyan, a simpleton, was just standing there grinning. Boss Wang was quite satisfied with his construction project, but he remained modest, "The main issue is transporting the materials, mostly during the night. We are afraid of even the slightest damage, as it may cause delays. Otherwise, you could have started moving in already!"

Yan Fei asked, "How much did you end up paying for these two stone lions? This will be an additional expense, and I’d like to compensate you first!"

Boss Wang felt a bit awkward, "The price wasn’t settled until the last moment. Including shipping, it costs 9800 yuan. It’s 200 yuan less than the initially quoted price. Their side takes care of the transportation since they probably got someone they know to do the task, so they didn’t have to pay anything. You don’t need to reimburse me for this money, as seeing that it’s the weekend, no one’s working today. Wait till tomorrow, we’ll go and finalize everything then. You can pay them directly."

The Sixth Miss Guo’s eyes widened in surprise, "My goodness... Did you just say you bought these enormous stone lions for only ten thousand yuan? They seem historic, aren’t they?"

Yan Fei turned around to answer her, "They date back to the Ming Dynasty. What do you think? If you fancy them, I can sell them to you for twenty thousand yuan. You can have them transported to Hong Kong and install them in front of your house?"

Unexpectedly, the Sixth Miss Guo was so excited she almost jumped up, "Really? I’ll arrange for their transportation right now!"

Yan Fei promptly corrected her, "I was joking!"

"What if I offer you fifty thousand? Or maybe one hundred thousand?" The Sixth Miss Guo seemed to take money for granted, proactively raising the price herself.

However, Yan Fei stuck to his stance, "Not for sale! No matter whether it’s for 500,000. It gives me comfort and I love having it!"

The Sixth Miss Guo looked at him in disdain, "Earlier, you agreed on twenty thousand, you don’t keep your word, that’s not very masculine of you. I have certainly misjudged you!"

Yan Fei swiftly retorted, "You’re not my wife, perceive me however you please!"

Furious, Guo was about to say something but on seeing Xu Xiaoyan standing next to her, she tricky shifted from anger to joy, "What if I wanted to be your wife?"

Yan Fei responded nonchalantly, "No thanks, you’re too short."

Guo was not that short; it’s just that when compared to Xu Xiaoyan, she was petite. This threw her into a frenzy, "You dare, Yan Xiaofei! Know this, I’m not the least bit interested in you either! You wish..."

After a heated exchange, she changed tactics, trying to soften him up, "Actually, my dad mentioned before, that my destiny isn’t that great and I should have these two stone lions for good luck, to ward off the evil spirits. Please, I need to go soon..."

Her plea was as fake as it can be. If your destiny is not so great, is it because you weren’t born into the world’s wealthiest family? If that’s the case, it is quite unfortunate since your family is just slightly not as wealthy as Hong Kong’s richest man...

Yan Fei acted as if he didn’t hear her plea. He pulled his wife-to-be aside, to look around their unfinished house with great delight.

To facilitate the transport of materials, a space was left open in the outer wall, while the remaining of the surrounding walls was more than half built. And although the lions were not made with pure white stone, appearing a touch darker, Yan Fei felt they would look great against the red of the wall, projecting an incredibly majestic image.

Yan Fei had seen the lions from above earlier and liked them immediately. Thinking of the ten thousand yuan spent, he felt that it was money well spent. Now that he’s seeing these stone lions up close, he loved them even more and wouldn’t dream of selling them!

After making a fuss for awhile, Nana reminded her, "Miss, if we don’t go now, we’ll miss the plane!"

The Sixth Miss Guo fumed, "Yan Xiaofei, you wait and see! I’ll make you pay the next time I visit..."

Yan Fei replied with a grin, "Don’t forget my pager number. If you ever get kidnapped, remember to contact me immediately. I will only charge a friendly price; a billion or two will suffice. I don’t need Hong Kong dollars though, I will be content with RMB!"

Finally, Miss Xu Xiaoyan could not bear it any longer. She interrupted him, "Stop your nonsense! Miss Guo, drive safe and take care! Remember to come visit during the summer vacation. By then, Hong Kong will be returned to China so travelling should be more convenient!"

The Sixth Miss Guo was gracious towards Xu Xiaoyan, "Fine! When you have holidays, you also come visit us in Hong Kong! I’ll take you out to sea. And we won’t invite your bloke, let him swim on his own..."

Witnessing the two bodyguards getting anxious, Yan Fei took it upon himself to urge her, "Enough with the chit-chat, wait till your family owns an airport. For now, hurry up or your flight will take off without you!"

"Humph!" The Sixth Miss Guo snorted, gave a farewell wave to Xu Xiaoyan, and stormed off to the car.

Yan Fei and his beloved watched as Miss Guo and her companions departed, they then returned and once again surveyed their house. They confirmed the time to meet up with Boss Wang for the next day before finally heading off with his beloved.

They hadn’t moved far when they ran into Professor Qi wandering around in the experimental field.

Yan Fei had originally planned to visit him and see the progress at his place, but they had bumped into each other unexpectedly. This turned out for the best, as he no longer needed to provide an update on his construction progress. It was something the Professor would have seen for himself while wandering around.

Professor Qi was in a good mood, likely due to a productive year in the experimental field. His excitement elevated further on seeing the couple, and he teased them, "This house of yours, are you guys planning to use it as a wedding house?"

At that, Xu Xiaoyan blushed, lowered her head and sneakily stole a glance at a grinning Yan Fei out of the corner of her eyes.

The girl’s secret was out, she had long regarded this house as their new home. She still remembered how that silly Yan Xiaofei used to dart around the back of the old building. His nose would be running, but he was too busy picking up broken bricks and tiles from the ground to wipe it, his face beaming with seriousness.

When she asked what he was doing, what did that silly fellow say? "I’m building us a new house. You will be my wife someday, this will be our home..."

That silly lad. Everyone saw him as a fool, yet he played the part quite convincingly, but in fact, he has been a smooth talker since young...

Lost in her thoughts, she remembered something she wrote in her diary one day: I have always treasured those three-hundred-year-old green bricks and tiles, even though they crumble at the slightest touch, because you said you would use them to build us a home...

As Yan Fei finally led his dazed sweetheart away, she was still in a trance and had no idea about what Yan Fei and Professor Qi had been discussing....
