Chapter 244 Initiative (1/2)
When Xiang Wan saw that, she felt something was amiss.
”Bai Muchuan, you've already looked for a house for me?”
Bai Muchuan responded lazily with a ”Mm”, as though he was not quite awake from his little nap.
”Well…” Xiang Wan dragged her voice as she observed the surroundings of the neighborhood. ”This place, the rent should be quite expensive?”
”It's quite okay.” His answer was vague.
Xiang Wan's eyebrows crinkled together with worry.
She wanted to pay for the rent herself. If it was too expensive… she might feel heartache!
…
Dongzi directly parked the car at the underground carpark.
When they alighted from the car, Xiang Wan noticed that it was a private parking lot.
She was startled for a while and looked at Bai Muchuan. ”Isn't it appropriate to park at somebody else's carpark lot?”
Bai Muchuan shrugged his shoulders indifferently. ”Let's leave our luggage here and go out for a while.”
”Mm? Go out?”
”Well, since it's the house that you just rented, we should go out and buy some stuff.”
”Okay.” Although Xiang Wan also felt that it might be unsuitable, she felt that it would not take much time and kept quiet for a while.
They took the elevator from the underground parking lot.
That was a stacked townhouse amidst the neighborhood's landscape garden. The elevator was spacious and classy. Xiang Wan started to get worried about the rent when she noticed these details as land was precious in the Capital.
The house had a biometric fingerprint door lock.
Bai Muchuan walked to the door, pressed his finger on the device gently, and the door was unlocked.
Xiang Wan: ”…”
She asked him after contemplating for a while, ”How long have you rented this place?”
Bai Muchuan said coolly, ”It's been a while.”
…
Prior to entering the house, she had not expected much on the furnishing and renovation.
It was just a house for rent—as long as the basics were available and in working condition, that would be fine. She knew that one couldn't expect too much of a rented house.
But when she entered the house, her eyes nearly popped out of her head.
It was totally a luxuriously renovated apartment with a fresh and artistic theme!
It was a big house that was estimated to be around 200-300 square meters.
Bedroom, study, gym, recreation room, an open-air terrace garden where one could grow flowers and plants… There was nothing that the house did not have.
”Heavens, Bai Muchuan!”
She looked around the house and her face was almost ashen.
”How much is the monthly rent for such a place?”
”Not much.” Bai Muchuan's expression was as usual. ”It's my friend's house. He has gone abroad and is worried about the house. So he asked me to help take care of it and find a reliable tenant…”
Hmm, why did this sound so familiar?
Xiang Wan looked at Bai Muchuan's face that showed a half-smile and suddenly dawned on her…
It was Cheng Zheng.
Yes. When Cheng Zheng rented his house to her and Fang Yuanyuan, he had said something similar as well.
She got it now.
Bai Muchuan was just teasing her.
She was annoyed but did not show it. Instead, she glanced at him. ”Bai Muchuan, is this house yours?”
Bai Muchuan did not deny it. He raised an eyebrow. ”What expression is that?”
”I… it's beyond my expectations. Too luxurious.”
Xiang Wan knew that Bai Muchuan was really wealthy, but she had never thought of how wealthy he could be.
Moreover, he had been very explicit about this—he would not rely on his parents.
He said that his mansion over at Jin City was bought using his own money. She had not expected that he also had a house in the Capital?
This was because this was the Capital.
For such a house, such renovation and furnishings and such a location… a square meter could easily fetch more than a hundred thousand yuan?
This was only Xiang Wan's guess as she didn't pay attention to the price of such a house.
This is too horrifying.
This is too horrifying.
This house should be around tens of millions of yuan!
To her, it was a sum of money that she did not dare to imagine.
”Wow!”
Xiang Wan took a long time to utter a sentence, as though dumbfounded as well as in disbelief.
”Bai Muchuan, tell me, what kind of side jobs do you have?”
A detective's salary alone was absolutely impossible to afford such a house, not to mention such luxurious renovation and furnishings…
”What do you say?” Bai Muchuan chuckled and pinched her cheek.
”Could it be that you're…” Xiang Wan thought of those gray income that violated the law, but she felt that with Bai Muchuan's integrity and sense of justice, he couldn't be dabbling in such activities. ”Forget it, take it that I didn't ask. You won't tell me anyway.”
Hur! Bai Muchuan gazed at her.
”Set your mind at ease and have faith in your man. I won't do anything illegal.”
”I know you won't…”
If he did not break the law, the money must be from his family.
Xiang Wan took a peek at him, her gaze a little cold. ”What exactly does your family do?”
Bai Muchuan puffed a sigh, pulled her over to the sofa, sat down, and poured a cup of warm water for her. ”Silly girl, I've already told you.”
Employees of ordinary state-owned organizations…
Hmm, that was what he said.
Xiang Wan could still remember that was what he told her mom.
But…
Xiang Wan stared at him, unconvinced.
Bai Muchuan laughed two times in amusement. ”You're a strange woman. Are you actually hoping that your man's a pauper, so you can be rest assured?”
