The moonlight, like flowing water, bathed the bedroom, making it shimmer and shine.

Lying in the king-size bed, Zhong Tingyue tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. She propped up her pillow and gazed out the window at the view of a bright moon suspended in the sky.

Just then, my phone screen lit up; it was a message from my younger sister, Zhong Rou.

[Rou Rouzi: Sis, you need to do something about my husband, he's bullying me again.]

He then posted a series of chat logs as evidence.

Ever since these two added each other on WeChat, they've both been plotting against each other, each trying to outmaneuver the other. Neither of them is easy to deal with.

The 'bullying' must be another instance of Chu Fang's scheming towards his younger sister.

Zhong Tingyue was too lazy to read it and replied directly.

[Wang Shu: Go ahead and bully them back.]

[RouRouZi: She's just a sister-in-law.JpG]

[Rou Rouzi: My brother-in-law is too scheming; I'm always being bullied.]

[RouRou: burst into tears.JpG]

Wang Shu: ... ...

[Rou Rouzi: Sis, is your husband very rich?]

[Wang Shu: No matter how much money you have, it's not yours. Study hard and get into a good university.]

Just then, a message came from Chu.

[Solo player in a dating game: Ms. Zhong, I'm so bored, let's play Ludo.]

Zhong Tingyue immediately stopped chatting with her younger sister and started playing Ludo with Chu Fang.

... ...

Early in the morning, Chu Fang got up sleepily, opened the window, and the winter chill drove away his drowsiness.

I woke up late today. Last night I played Ludo with Zhong Tingyue until the early hours of the morning. They were playing a red envelope game, and the outcome was evenly matched. They spent the whole night sending out red envelopes of 0.01 yuan each.

After regaining some composure, Chu Fang walked out of the room. Lily was in the living room, looking out the window at the scenery. She didn't even greet him when she heard him.

After moving to a new home, Lily didn't seem to be as panicked as other animals; she appeared remarkably relaxed.

Chu Fang originally wanted to greet Lily, but seeing her aloof demeanor, he stubbornly refused to play with the tabby cat: "Silly cat!"

He immediately went to the kitchen and began making breakfast.

A moment later, Zhong Tingyue walked out of the bedroom in slippers, her long hair disheveled and loose, and she lazily scratched her hair, exuding a casual beauty.

It has to be said that a beautiful woman is a beautiful woman; she is beautiful from every angle.

Upon seeing Zhong Tingyue, Lily's aloofness vanished. She knelt at Zhong's feet, gazing up at her. Lily bent down, picked up the kitten, and comforted it.

Just then, a soft cell phone rang. She raised an eyebrow, answered it, and heard a voice on the other end say, "Hey, Xiao Zhong, I'm here to collect the house. Where are you now?"

Zhong Tingyue remembered that she had agreed with the landlord to take possession of the house today before moving. Hearing that the landlord had arrived, she immediately put on her slippers and walked towards the door.

As soon as the door opened, a middle-aged woman was standing in the doorway of the next room. She had also heard the door open and looked over, saying in a surprised tone, "Hey, Xiao Zhong, did I go to the wrong place?"

“No.” Zhong Tingyue smiled. “I moved next door.”

"Huh?" The middle-aged landlord scratched his face and pointed to the two houses.

Suddenly, she spotted Chu Fang, who was greeting her, "Aunt Ma, what brings you here?"

Chu Fang looked at Aunt Ma, the original owner of his house, who had bought it from him at a premium, with some surprise.

Aunt Ma's gaze lingered between the two of them. Seeing their casual attire, she clapped her hands and suddenly understood: "Oh my, so you bought the house from me just to pursue Xiao Zhong. No wonder, no wonder."

He paused for a moment, then said to Chu Fang, "Young man, the apartment Xiao Zhong lives in is also mine. Why don't you buy it too? Consider it a keepsake for the two of you. To win Xiao Zhong's heart, you gave up a large apartment and willingly lived in this small place. After you get married, when you look back, how wonderful that will be..."

Alright, it turns out that the apartment Zhong Tingyue rents also belongs to Aunt Ma, and she's currently enthusiastically trying to sell it to Chu Fang, wanting him to buy the room next door at a high price.

"How much?" he asked.

"Still the same price, six million, is that alright with you?"

Just as Chu Fang was about to speak, he suddenly noticed his girlfriend's gaze and immediately changed his mind: "Aunt Ma, never mind."

"Alas!" Aunt Ma sighed upon hearing this, "What a pity."

Afterwards, Zhong Tingyue accompanied Aunt Ma to check the house. After inspecting it thoroughly and finding nothing wrong with it, she returned the deposit to her. Perhaps out of consideration for Chu, she also refunded an extra month's rent.

Before leaving, Aunt Ma looked at Chu Fang and could only shake her head helplessly.

"You really want to buy it?" Zhong Tingyue sensed Chu Fang's thoughts as she closed the door.

"Buy it."

“How could that house be worth six million? Aunt Ma is just ripping you off.” Zhong Tingyue looked the room up and down. “This house isn’t even worth six million. You’ve been fooled.”

"oh."

"oh?!"

Chu Fang shrugged: "Six million isn't much money. Just think of it as buying a toy."

“… …” Zhong Tingyue twitched the corner of her mouth.

Okay, it's because she has a very narrow perspective.

With Chu Fang's wealth, it seems he really doesn't care about spending millions. He even has luxury cars worth tens of millions gathering dust in his garage, letting them depreciate. The annual depreciation costs alone could buy a house.

In the end, Zhong Tingyue remarked, "Sometimes it's quite difficult to communicate with you."

She paused, then suddenly seemed to remember something. Her willow-leaf eyebrows arched as she gazed intently at Chu Fang: "You fell in love with me back then?"

"No, I had feelings for you the moment I saw you." He was making breakfast.

“… …” Zhong Tingyue leaned against the kitchen doorway. “Then why didn’t you take the initiative to pursue me back then? I’ve been waiting for you for half a month, and you haven’t communicated with me at all. It was me who took the initiative to get in touch with you by using the matter with President Huang.”

"Hmm..." Chu Fang turned around, looking at his girlfriend with a serious expression: "I just realized, Zhong Tingyue, you're such a simp! You took the initiative to talk to me, pursued me, and confessed your feelings..."

As Chu Fang recounted the events of the past few months, Zhong Tingyue's face flushed red. She was furious at his words and gritted her teeth, saying, "Damn it!"

"There's nothing I can do, my charm is just too great, and Zhong Tingyue, you're too shameless, you actually fell for my looks."
