Chapter 15: Chapter 14: New Home
After asking around quite a bit, Yang Chen finally arrived at Longjing Gardens, the address written on the paper. Once there, he gained a deep understanding of just how financially powerful his beautiful wife was. Longjing Gardens was an upscale villa community on the outskirts of the city. The distance between each villa was at least a mile, with pavilions, towers, and green spaces surrounding the area. The European classical style decor exuded a rich and elegant atmosphere.
The security guard at the entrance was puzzled by Yang Chen's unfamiliar face, wondering how a wealthy person like him would choose to walk in. But upon seeing Yang Chen's expensive suit, he didn't bother to stop him and saved Yang Chen the trouble of explaining.
Once inside Longjing Gardens, Yang Chen walked for over two kilometers before arriving at Villa 89, marked as the destination on the paper. The entire villa covered more than 400 square meters, not including the outdoor swimming pool and huge garage. The Baroque-style villa was built with thick marble, and it was hard to imagine how much money had been spent on it.
After ringing the doorbell, the exquisitely carved redwood door was quickly opened by a woman wearing home clothes and an apron. Her face showed some signs of age, but she had maintained herself well and didn't look too old, maybe in her forties or fifties. When she saw Yang Chen, she showed some joy and warmly exclaimed, "You must be the young master. Miss had said that you would come today. Come on in!"
Seeing that the woman was not shy at all, Yang Chen relaxed a bit and asked with a smile, "What should I call you, sister?"
"I'm Wang Yulan, you can call me Mrs. Wang ," the woman replied, smiling. "Why did the young master call me 'sister'? I watched Miss grow up, so you can call me 'aunt' instead."
"Young auntie, you don't look old at all. You'd definitely turn heads on the street," Yang Chen sincerely complimented her.
No woman dislikes being praised, and Mrs.Wang no exception despite their middle age. They were delighted when Yang Chen arrived and asked him to sit down. Mrs. Wang chuckled, "Sir, wait for a moment while I finish up in the kitchen, and then I'll serve you. Unfortunately, Miss has a meeting and won't be back in time."
"Mrs. Wang, are you and Lin... I mean, Ruoxi the only ones living in this house?" Yang Chen looked around. The whole villa was divided into three floors, fully equipped with modern appliances, clean white leather sofas, black marble floors, redwood furniture, tables and chairs, and several famous paintings of different sizes hanging on the walls. Several blooming orchids swayed at the windows, showing a simple yet elegant style. But looking at the large doors on the second and third floors, Yang Chen felt that the space was too empty.
Mrs.Wang sighed with sorrow, "Yes, we two women live here alone, which feels so desolate. Miss is busy with work all day long and is rarely at home. I'm the only one who stays in this big house most of the time. But now it's different. Miss has you, and we have a man in the house. This is how a family should be."
Seeing Mrs.Wang's satisfied look, Yang Chen couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mrs. Wang, don't you find it strange that Ruoxi suddenly married me?"
"Hehe~" Mrs.Wang smiled and said, "Sir, I've watched Miss grow up. From childhood to adulthood, she never had a boyfriend, although many men pursued her. But she didn't like any of them. Now that she's going to marry you, she must have found something special in you. Miss is so smart, and I trust her judgment. What's there to be surprised about?"
Yang Chen nodded in understanding, but he couldn't help but murmur to himself. Mrs.Wang couldn't possibly know that he and Lin Ruoxi were in a contract marriage.
After a hearty lunch, Yang Chen rubbed his round belly and said with satisfaction, "Mrs. Wang, your cooking is amazing. It tastes much better than those big restaurants."
Mrs.Wang 's face lit up with joy, "Really? Then sir should eat more meals at home in the future. Miss often has sudden work and doesn't come home, and I've cooked so much food that no one eats. It's such a waste."
"That girl is wasteful, don't mind her. Just give me delicious food, Mrs. Wang," Yang Chen patted his chest.
Mrs. Wang knew Yang Chen was joking and nodded happily, agreeing to help tidy up. After finishing, she took off her apron and said, "Sir, let me show you the room you'll be sleeping in. If there's anything you need, just let me know and I'll go buy it for you."
"My room?" Yang Chen was taken aback, realizing he had promised not to share a room with Lin Ruoxi.
As Mrs. Wang led the way, she explained, "Sir, Miss Lin has been very thoughtful. She knows you prefer to sleep alone, so she prepared a separate large room just for you and even bought you some clothes to wear."
"Really?" Yang Chen rubbed his nose, feeling that it sounded too good to be true.
"Of course, and I haven't seen Miss Lin care so much about any other man before. She also said that since you're busy with work, you can have the wedding first and then celebrate with a banquet when you have time. She's really thinking about you." Mrs. Wang smiled.
Yang Chen felt sweat forming on his forehead. So Lin Ruoxi had already talked to Mrs. Wang beforehand, pushing everything onto him. How could selling lamb skewers be so busy?
When he entered his room, Yang Chen was surprised to find that it was incredibly spacious, even larger than the small apartment he had rented. The white curtains by the floor-to-ceiling window danced in the breeze, and there was a low, king-sized bed, a 82-inch Sony LED TV, an Apple computer on the bedside table, a classical-style desk lamp, and glossy wooden floors. When he looked at the corner of the room, he saw a huge two-story wardrobe filled with new clothes, ties, and leather shoes.
Yang Chen smiled inwardly. It seemed that his beautiful wife had not treated him unfairly, as even his acting wardrobe was fully prepared.
"How is it, sir? Are you satisfied?" Mrs. Wang asked warmly.
"Satisfied, of course I'm satisfied. It's much better than I expected. Thank you, Mrs. Wang," Yang Chen nodded.
"If you want to thank someone, thank Miss Lin. I'm just running errands," Mrs. Wang had already started enthusiastically matchmaking the young couple.
Yang Chen knew Mrs. Wang's intentions but didn't mention it. "Mrs. Wang, I have some things still left in my previous place, I need to go get them, I'll be out for a while."
"That's only natural. There are always things you're used to using," Mrs. Wang replied.
"But..." Yang Chen laughed awkwardly, "Mrs. Wang, does the house have any means of transportation, like a car or a bicycle, so I can get there faster?"
Mrs. Wang looked at Yang Chen in surprise, as if she had seen something incredibly terrible. "Sir, are you walking there?"
"Unfortunately, you guessed it," Yang Chen shrugged.
Mrs. Wang laughed and cried, "This young lady, how can you let sir walk there? Sir, you can't be so casual when living here. You need to have a car. Follow me, there are several cars that are idle in the house. You can just take one and go."
Yang Chen's eyes brightened. He had been itching to get a car ever since he saw Lin Ruoxi driving a Bentley. However, he didn't have the money to buy one. Could it be that he could get a car for free now?
