Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Moving House 2

In this residential area, all the villas are standalone, with a good distance between each, offering great privacy.

Wan Chu’er grew fonder of the environment the more she looked around, though she also felt uncertain in her heart. Could she and Xiao Bai really afford it?

Xiao Bai, unaware of Wan Chu’er’s nervousness, was busy looking around for the villa number Li Shan had told him over the phone.

"Second Brother, have you arranged a meeting with the seller?" Wan Chu’er asked.

"Arranged, arranged, he’s waiting for us inside the villa. We’ve found it, it’s right over there." Xiao Bai casually responded to Wan Chu’er while his eyes finally spotted the villa he was looking for.

He quickly pulled Wan Chu’er along to go over.

Wan Chu’er sized it up; it was a two-and-a-half-story villa with a middle-aged man in a suit standing at the door. His approachable demeanor betrayed a hint of shrewdness.

Wan Chu’er stepped back slightly, feeling that this was not her forte, and it was better for Xiao Bai to handle it.

Xiao Bai was initially startled upon seeing the man, as he didn’t recognize him. He blinked his eyes.

The middle-aged man stepped forward and warmly shook Xiao Bai’s hand. "You must be Bai Qiyan, right? Welcome, welcome! I am Yao Xian. I’m in charge of everything concerning this villa."

The moment they shook hands, Xiao Bai immediately felt goosebumps all over.

This old man actually nudged his palm twice and, while Wan Chu’er wasn’t watching, winked at him.

Damn!

Xiao Bai inwardly cursed Li Shan.

It must have been deliberate, deliberately setting him up with such a person just to mess with him.

Xiao Bai quickly shook off the man’s sticky hand, wanting to scold him. Still, fearing that Wan Chu’er might notice, he restrained himself and squeezed out a sentence through clenched teeth.

"Mr. Yao, would you mind if we siblings take a look at the house first?"

Yao Xian smiled and said, "No problem, no problem. The rooms on the second floor have huge floor-to-ceiling windows, perfect for this beautiful young lady here. I’m sure she will love it."

Faced with Yao Xian’s enthusiasm, Wan Chu’er let out a dry laugh and quickly entered the villa.

The interior of the villa was decorated in a European minimalist style, using milky white tones, and the furniture inside was brand new and complete.

She instantly liked what she saw.

Seeing Wan Chu’er’s expression, Xiao Bai said, "Why don’t you go upstairs and have a look? Second Brother will check the facilities on this floor."

"Okay."

Wan Chu’er cheerfully proceeded up the spiral staircase.

When Wan Chu’er was out of sight, Xiao Bai immediately grimaced and exploded at Yao Xian.

On reaching the second floor, there was a large hall suitable for entertaining guests or recreation, besides which there were four spacious and bright rooms.

Wan Chu’er opened the door on her right and immediately saw the floor-to-ceiling window Yao Xian had mentioned, which nearly covered the entire wall. She walked up to the window and looked outside, dimly noticing the large lake they had seen before.

Pleased, she turned around to survey the room’s layout; the center of the room featured a large bed, beside which was an exquisite dressing table, and there was a wall-to-wall wardrobe.

It was almost fully furnished, only needing some bedding to be move-in ready.

She then checked the other three rooms, one of which was set up as a study, also bright and spacious.

After finishing viewing the second floor and not seeing Xiao Bai come up, she proceeded to the third floor.

The third floor is a large Practice Room, equipped with a heavy punching bag and some exercise equipment.

As soon as she saw it, she immediately felt this place was perfect for her martial arts training. She wondered who the original owner was, and how the decor matched her preferences so well.

Wan Chu’er stepped out onto the open-air balcony on the third floor, which was surrounded by a circle of plants, with a wicker-style sofa in the center that looked very comfortable and inviting.

No sooner had she thought it than she did it; Wan Chu’er walked over and sat down on the sofa in the middle, gazing out into the distance, the scenery of the neighborhood coming into view.

She enjoyed the beautiful view for a while, then turned her head to look towards the villa on the left, her gaze swept past and she seemed to catch a glimpse of a figure moving behind the glass on the third floor of the left villa.

Wan Chu’er immediately became alert and stared in that direction, watched intently for a few seconds, but then, she saw nothing.

The two villas were about ten meters apart, with various types of trees planted between them.

She couldn’t help thinking that perhaps it was just her imagination, maybe it was just the branches swaying.

Even though she thought this, she wasn’t sure in her heart, worried that someone really might be spying. After a moment of thought, she cautiously stood up and went downstairs to find Xiao Bai.

After Wan Chu’er disappeared from the balcony, three people appeared behind the glass on the balcony of the third floor of the left villa.

It was Old Sir Zhong, Li Shan, and Yan Hui.

Li Shan said nervously, "We were almost discovered by Miss Chu’er."

Old Sir Zhong praised with a smile, "As expected of my granddaughter, her vigilance is quite good."

Yan Hui: "..."

Since last night, the old man hasn’t stopped singing praises of Wan Chu’er.

It’s like even if Wan Chu’er sneezed, the old man would compliment its power.

However, seeing the old man so cheerful, Yan Hui and Li Shan felt pretty good, everything seemed right.

Li Shan worriedly asked, "Do you think Miss Chu’er will like this villa?"

Old Sir Zhong let out a hum, then said, "Why don’t you call that Bai fellow and ask him? And also make sure he convinces Chu’er to move here."

Li Shan paused for a moment, then immediately took out his phone to call Xiao Bai.

Yan Hui smiled slightly and said, "Sister Chu’er has a free spirit, she should like it here. She likes working out, running along the lake is most enjoyable for her, and that villa’s third floor is even a Practice Room."

Old Sir Zhong, recalling Wan Chu’er’s previous sword dance, couldn’t help but said, "Her fancy moves are good for show but not much for practical use, I will have to give her some proper guidance later."

After Li Shan finished the call, he came over and said, "Miss Chu’er really likes this place."

Old Sir Zhong immediately said to Li Shan, "Then you quickly get someone to tidy up, we’ll prepare to move in three days."

Then he said to Yan Hui, "Chu’er and Bai get along well, if there’s a chance, give him a hand. It will save him from bouncing around too much in Beijing, as he still hasn’t gotten the hang of things after all this time."

Yan Hui immediately agreed, "Don’t worry sir, I know what to do."

...

As soon as Yao Xian heard that Wan Chu’er was satisfied with the place, he immediately brought out a stack of documents for Wan Chu’er to sign and put her thumbprint on.

"Once you sign and imprint, this house will belong to you immediately. If you like, you can move in today, but I still suggest you buy some more things before moving."

Wan Chu’er stared at the stack of documents, dumbfoundedly looking towards Xiao Bai.

Although she had never bought a villa, she had experience in buying and selling houses, where things were not done this quickly.

Shouldn’t they discuss the price first?
