Chapter 489: Chapter 394: The Counselor’s Life is Over

Outside the bedroom, the real estate agent He Jiale stood by the living room window, deliberately standing a bit farther from the bedroom door.

This way, when the customers opened the door, they would notice that he stood quite far away and couldn’t hear what they were discussing inside the bedroom.

He Jiale valued these customers very much.

"They came in a Land Rover, and both of them seemed very sophisticated. The man may look young, but he appears to have very strong spending power,"

"The ease in his every move even gave me the illusion that he’s somewhat unimpressed by this apartment, as if it’s beneath his level."

"But that shouldn’t be the case, right? Didn’t he say he was buying a matrimonial home? After all, he will also live there in the future."

He Jiale had no idea that Cheng Zhu was not there to buy a matrimonial home, but rather a gift for someone.

The rather attractive real estate agent lifted her gaze toward the bedroom door,

"They’ve been discussing for quite a while."

"This deal won’t close directly, will it?" she thought, with a faint sense of anticipation.

Inside the bedroom, Cheng Zhu looked down at Chen Jieyu, who had a complex expression.

He made the decision for her.

"Let’s choose this one, it’s close enough to the school," Cheng Zhu said.

Seeing the counselor about to speak, he quickly interrupted again.

He was very familiar with the patterns of conversation; if you didn’t agree with what I just said, then I will have to say something more "greedy" instead.

So after stating his decision to buy the apartment and mentioning that it wasn’t far from the school, Cheng Zhu immediately added: "By the way, you have a driver’s license, right?"

The implication was clear: if she wasn’t going to live in the staff dormitory anymore, commuting to and from school from this place wasn’t too far, but it wouldn’t be very convenient without a car, so why not just get a car too.

Chen Jieyu’s mind was stunned as she listened to him,

"Why has it suddenly turned into buying a car as well?" she thought to herself.

Cheng Zhu didn’t care about her reaction and just continued on his own: "I think the car should be registered under the company’s name in the end; that way, I can save a bit. And then, for the car insurance and such every year, you won’t have to worry about it, making things easier for you, right?"

The counselor listened to Cheng Zhu’s words, to him talking incessantly on his own, feeling that if he continued like this, he would end up buying more and more.

She had never expected that one day she would suddenly live such a life, to have a man appear in her life quite unreasonably, insisting on buying her a car and a house.

Before, when she referenced Yu Hua’s [The Doorbell Rang], Chen Jieyu felt that Cheng Zhu was not someone who stood outside her heart and rang the doorbell, but more like a marauder who had broken through the window, one who did not follow the usual path.

The counselor raised her head, and beneath her gold-rimmed glasses, her beautiful eyes met Cheng Zhu’s, but in the end, she only asked, "Can you tell me why you suddenly want to do all this? I want to know your reasons."

"Of course, it’s to possess you for a lifetime," the scoundrel thought to himself.

After spending time together, he had developed feelings of fondness and pity for Chen Jieyu.

Pity was needless to say; he was very aware of the stubborn life she led in the past, and in her previous life, it had ended tragically.

As for fondness, that went without saying.

How many men could keep from being smitten by her?

The taboo identity, the austere, abstinent air of contrast, the charm of a mature urban woman, the astonishing waist-to-hip ratio of her pear-shaped figure, and that irresistible "mwah—".

Who could withstand that?

However, Cheng Zhu’s desire to possess her was one aspect; another was his desire to have a fallback plan.

Specifically, it was to secure a guarantee against potential future events.

Chen Jieyu’s original family background was too wretched.

Not only was there serious gender bias, but there was also domestic violence.

Cheng Zhu was suspicious of her father; he always felt that the man might still be a gambler.

He often thought about the counselor’s fate in her previous life, feeling that he must be cautious.

After careful consideration, he frankly said to her at that moment: "I know you’ve always wanted to get away from your original family, you want to stay in Hang City."

"The problem is, your job doesn’t give you a sense of security, does it?" Cheng Zhu said.

"Are you talking about income?" Chen Jieyu softly explained: "Actually, if it weren’t for those issues at home, my salary is enough for my personal daily expenses..."

She thought it was because she had asked to borrow money from him before, which gave him that impression.

"I’m not referring to that, I mean... A counseling position is a relatively stable job, but while stability can provide a great sense of security for some people, for you, it also has its drawbacks, it can also make you feel uneasy, I’m right, aren’t I?" Cheng Zhu spoke up.

Chen Jieyu looked up at him, slightly biting her lower lip.

There was that feeling again, feeling like she had nowhere to hide in front of him, being completely transparent!

Sometimes she really didn’t understand; Cheng Zhu was just a first-year university student, so why did he have such terrifying insight? Why could he see through things so clearly and think so clearly?

Yes, a counseling position is a relatively stable job, but the more ironclad the job, the more it brought her a contradictory sensation.

It still left her feeling uneasy.

She looked at Cheng Zhu, gave no indication of her stance, and instead asked, "Why do you say that?"

His answer made her realize that he truly considered that hidden risk.
