Chapter 91: Since Sister Qinghan Likes It, Let’s Buy It Then

***

“Since you like this villa, Sister Qinghan, let’s buy it. You won’t need to stay at hotels anymore, you can live here, and I can occasionally come stay too,” Xia Ruoming made the decision immediately after hearing Xiao Qinghan’s response.

Xiao Qinghan was stunned upon hearing Xia Ruoming’s words.

What did Ruoming just say? Buy it for her to live in? She originally thought Xia Ruoming was looking at houses for herself, and although she had mentioned preparing a place for her to live, she never expected to be given a villa. She had assumed Xia Ruoming would just rent her a commercial apartment or buy her a small unit at most.

“You… really want to buy this for me to live in?” Although Xiao Qinghan didn’t like those romance novels, she had indeed read many plots where domineering CEOs bought houses for their lovers. Those scenes where they would spend fortunes just because the female lead liked something had always seemed too cliche and fake to her, but when it actually happened to her, she found it rather romantic.

What a hypocrite she was being.

“Of course! Do you think I would deceive you, Sister Qinghan? Your name will be added to the property deed too.” Xia Ruoming couldn’t help but smile secretly seeing Xiao Qinghan’s surprised expression. If she wasn’t worried that Xiao Qinghan would refuse or think she had ulterior motives, she would have been fine putting the house solely in Xiao Qinghan’s name, just like what Jiang Ruhua had done back then.

Xiao Qinghan, who had been standing dumbfounded for a while, felt her cheeks burning. She hadn’t even agreed yet, but Xia Ruoming had already made the decision on her own. Was this some domineering female CEO and shy girlfriend plot? And Ruoming said she would come stay too, did that mean living together… wouldn’t that mean she could take advantage of the situation… no, no, how could she think like that.

This house, she really didn’t want to accept it, because until now, she and Ruoming didn’t really have such an intimate relationship. Though there was ambiguity and mutual attraction between them, things hadn’t progressed to this level yet.

Let alone the fact that she wasn’t a materialistic woman, even if she were, one should at least decline a few times when offered the imperial throne, and then pretend to say something like “you’re really forcing this burden upon me.” Accepting such a gift straight away would only greatly damage the giver’s impression of you, making you seem low-class and tasteless.

But if she refused, wouldn’t she miss the chance to live together with Ruoming?

Xiao Qinghan truly felt her mind was in chaos, as Xia Ruoming’s perfect image kept eroding her inner rationality.

“Ruoming, what are you really thinking…” Xiao Qinghan murmured in an almost inaudible voice. She had always felt that Xia Ruoming liked her, who would do so much for someone who was just a subordinate or friend? But she couldn’t see through Xia Ruoming’s true thoughts. Ruoming just kept being nice to her, never actually expressing any love, only flirting with her once as if joking, yet somehow seemed to have stolen her heart.

If Ruoming would just speak up, she would definitely agree, even if it was just like what she had said before.

She really couldn’t bring herself to confess first. The most she could do was pin Ruoming down on the bed when drunk and say things like “you’re so useless” in her ear.

If many years later, Xia Ruoming were to find out that the dominant-in-bed Xiao Qinghan actually didn’t have the courage to confess, she’d probably laugh for a day and night in bed, the kind of laughter that wouldn’t stop until her stomach cramped.

“Miss Xia, are you satisfied with this villa?” the agent asked with great concern, as this affected how much money he could make.

“Hmm… the villa seems a bit small, but overall it’s acceptable.” Xia Ruoming frowned on the surface, but actually she was quite satisfied. It was very close to Zijingang campus, had great surroundings, and the studio and study rooms were absolutely quiet where no one could disturb her.

Except for not having a private gym, Xia Ruoming had nothing to complain about.

But being satisfied was one thing, and expressing it was another. These homeowners and agents were all shrewd, if she showed too much eagerness, they might try to raise the price.

The agent was stunned. He had never lived in such a large house in his life, how could someone find this house small? But then again, it made sense. This young lady who was willing to pay in full for a villa and even offered to pay his commission separately must come from an incredibly wealthy family. It was probably normal for her to look down on this old villa of just over 200 square meters.

Xia Ruoming smiled seeing the agent’s reaction. It was a normal response, if she hadn’t lived in Jiang Ruhua’s riverside villa that occupied 900 square meters, with just the bedroom alone being nearly 80 square meters, complete with a starry room, maid’s quarters, gym, piano room, private cinema, and even an elevator for its four floors, she probably would have had the same reaction.

That villa, including decorations, had cost over 90 million, far beyond what this small villa could compare to.

“Miss Xia… so for this villa, you are…” the agent spoke hesitantly, afraid that Xia Ruoming would find the villa unsuitable and decide not to buy it.

“Alright, I’ll take this villa. Let’s go handle the paperwork.”

Hearing that Xia Ruoming agreed to purchase the villa, the agent was overjoyed. If he wasn’t still beside Xia Ruoming, he probably would have jumped three meters high on the spot.

This villa’s true value was definitely more than 12 million, and as a reincarnator, she also knew that real estate like this couldn’t possibly lose money in the next few years. Five or six years later, selling it might even bring in a few million in profit.

With her mind full of thoughts turning into a mess, the dazed Xiao Qinghan followed Xia Ruoming in a trance. With the agent handling everything, the transfer contract and ownership transfer procedures only took two hours to complete.

Xia Ruoming didn’t dawdle either, directly transferring the 12 million funds, and the promised 600,000 was separately transferred to the agent’s bank account.

Although in 2014, the efficiency of property certificates was surprisingly poor, unlike ten years later when property certificates could be obtained the same day, money makes the world go round, money makes officials speed up, and plus Hangzhou’s efficiency was already quite good, so Xia Ruoming also received a promise that she could get the property deed within the next few days.

“Congratulations, Sister Qinghan, now you’re not just a female CEO, but also the lady of a villa.” Xia Ruoming hooked the villa key with her pinky and placed it in Xiao Qinghan’s hand.
