Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Buying a Villa in the Hometown

Da Bao and San Bao, seeing Er Bao like this, also started making requests to Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin.

So, Xiao Fei took care of Er Bao, while Tang Yuxin and Mrs. Tang tried to take care of Da Bao and San Bao individually, dipping chopsticks into clear beef broth so the little ones could taste a bit.

Although they already had quite a few baby teeth now, those teeth weren’t really helpful for grinding food.

Fortunately, the little ones were satisfied after tasting the broth and didn’t fuss about wanting actual meat.

After dinner.

Everyone played at the Xiao Family’s home for a while. Then Tang Dingyuan and Mrs. Tang reluctantly said their goodbyes and left.

At bedtime, Xiao Fei suddenly remembered something he had discussed with Tang Yuxin earlier.

"Honey, do you still remember when you mentioned buying a house in our hometown here?"

"Mhm?"

Tang Yuxin, nestled in Xiao Fei’s arms, nodded her head.

"Let’s check out some houses tomorrow."

"Let’s get a bigger one, so during holidays we can bring both sets of parents over to stay with us."

"So the kids will have somewhere to stay when they grow up and come back to the hometown, too."

"Sure, that sounds great!"

Hearing Xiao Fei’s suggestion, Tang Yuxin nodded happily.

The next day, the two of them took the three little ones out.

The Mid-Autumn Festival holiday lasted three days. Yesterday was the festival itself, today and tomorrow were days off, and the day after tomorrow was a workday again.

Since they were leaving the house, the little ones weren’t sitting in their walkers; instead, they were snugly nestled in the baby stroller.

The transportation in Chuanyu was very convenient, so Tang Yuxin and Xiao Fei didn’t drive.

Before long, they arrived at a newly developed residential area.

The community was named "Su Shi Hanlin," and just by hearing the name, it was easy to tell it was developed by a local real estate company.

It wasn’t one of those nationally renowned major developers, but precisely because it was local and catered to locals, it somehow felt more dependable.

Compared to those national developers, they were less likely to encounter issues.

As soon as they stepped inside, a saleslady with a bright smile walked over.

Upon seeing Xiao Fei and his wife, the saleslady suddenly froze.

"Xiao... Xiao Big Brother...?"

"Hmm...?"

Hearing someone calling him, Xiao Fei looked up, then realized something.

"Oh, it’s you—Jiang Ye."

"Hello..."

The saleslady glanced at the stunning Xiao Fei, then at Tang Yuxin beside him and the three kids in the baby stroller, her expression subtly twitching.

"Honey, who is this...?"

Seeing an unfamiliar woman address her husband by name, Tang Yuxin’s internal alarms went off.

With a smile, Xiao Fei leaned closer to her ear and softly explained, "She’s the daughter of one of my dad’s colleagues, kind of like a childhood friend from living in the work compound together."

"Oh..."

Tang Yuxin gave a neutral nod, her aura subtly shifting.

Looking at Xiao Fei now, Jiang Ye struggled to associate the perfect man in front of her with the boy-next-door figure from her memories.

In her recollections, Xiao Fei, while handsome, was never at the level where just one glance at him rendered someone unable to look away like he did now.

"Xiao Big Brother, you... you got married?"

"Mhm, I’m married."

Xiao Fei displayed the ring on his finger.

Jiang Ye tried her best to maintain a natural-looking smile.

"Why didn’t you notify me?"

"We haven’t held the wedding banquet yet. When we do, I’ll send an invitation to Uncle Jiang."

"Ah, I see..." Jiang Ye nodded, feeling a wave of wistful regret.

The childhood neighbor she hadn’t seen in a while hadn’t just become more accomplished; he now had a wife and kids, too.

Even though she had never harbored special feelings for Xiao Fei, the abruptness of learning all this still left her feeling slightly off balance.

"Xiao Big Brother, and Sister, are you here to look at a wedding house?"

"Not a wedding house. We’re just looking to buy another house in our hometown."

Another house.

Jiang Ye quickly caught the key detail.

Xiao Big Brother, not just married with children, but clearly wealthy too?

Jiang Ye glanced at Xiao Fei’s outfit and made a mental note.

"Ah, I see. Do you and Sister have any particular requirements?"

"Show us some villas."

Since they had decided to buy a larger property where they could bring both sets of parents over during visits, naturally, they started with villas.

Hearing Xiao Fei say this, Jiang Ye led them to the villa section of the site’s property models.

Throughout, Tang Yuxin clung to Xiao Fei’s arm without saying much, but the occasional shared glance between them radiated a tender intimacy that even an outsider couldn’t miss.

Watching this, Jiang Ye couldn’t help but feel increasingly unsettled.

She suddenly felt somewhat defeated... If she’d known Xiao Big Brother would turn out this remarkable, maybe she would’ve made a move long ago.

"Xiao Big Brother, this is the best villa here at Su Shi Hanlin. It’s particularly great—three floors above ground and one below..."

Once Jiang Ye switched into work mode, she quickly set aside her tangled emotions and enthusiastically started introducing the villa’s advantages to Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin.

After she finished, Xiao Fei turned his head to Tang Yuxin.

"What do you think?"

"Looks pretty good."

Its size, environment, and other features were excellent, and the house was already fully furnished—it was move-in ready.

"Alright then, this one it is."

Hearing the couple decide so straightforwardly to buy the villa, Jiang Ye was somewhat stunned.

"Wait...?"

"Xiao Big Brother, you’re... buying it?"

"Of course, what’s wrong? The commission’s coming your way—don’t you want it?"

"No, no, it’s not that! I mean... um... I’ll immediately go negotiate the best possible discount for you..."

Seeing Jiang Ye rushing off to find the manager, Xiao Fei added, "By the way, we’re paying in full."

"Alright."

Jiang Ye nodded.

Typically, paying in full wasn’t favored by developers and salespeople, as it cut into profits significantly. Just like how car salespeople often persuade buyers to finance rather than pay outright to maximize earnings through interest and fees.

However, someone capable of immediately paying a large sum in full for a house—especially a villa—was undeniably a major client.

Before long, the manager of the sales office, upon hearing that prospective buyers were looking to pay in full for the best villa on the property, hurried over.

When he saw Xiao Fei’s family, his face immediately lit up with a professional smile.

After several rounds of negotiation, coupled with Jiang Ye’s assistance, they managed to secure Xiao Fei a substantial discount. Ultimately, Xiao Fei paid just over four million yuan in full to purchase the villa.

Over four million yuan for a large villa in Chuanyu... If this were in Shanghai, you wouldn’t even be able to afford a basic 100-square-meter apartment.

The disparity in property prices between the two regions was truly staggering.
