Chapter 45: Renting a House? Why Not Buying One?

Chu Yian really didn't know what was going on, so he could only turn his head to look at Sheng Nianyao.

Sheng Nianyao was also looking at her.

As their eyes met, Sheng Nianyao felt her heart suddenly start beating uncontrollably and wildly.

It was thumping, as if it was going to jump out of her chest in the next second.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something but felt a heat rising to her face. She quickly lowered her head, feeling an unprecedented panic.

This panic overwhelmed all her senses, causing her hands to unconsciously tighten her sleeves, leaving deep wrinkles on them.

Seeing her like this, Chu Yian frowned, with some worry in his eyes: "What's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?"

Sheng Nianyao's head buzzed, and she quickly shook her head, stammering, "No, no, it's just that my heart is beating a little fast, I don't know what's wrong?"

My heart was beating very fast and I felt very anxious.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yian hurriedly helped her up and helped her sit down on a chair nearby: "Let's take a break. Have you ever encountered this situation before?"

Sheng Nianyao shook her head and looked up at Chu Yian. Seeing the worry in her eyes, for some reason, her heart felt like it was in a honey pot.

She was worried about her...

The corners of Sheng Nianyao's lips lifted up uncontrollably, and she stretched out her fair and tender hand and carefully grasped Chu Yian's hand. Her voice softened a little: "Sister Chu, I'm fine. I'll be fine after a rest. Don't worry."

Chu Yian stared at her for a few seconds, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she didn't have a heart disease or anything.

She nodded and stood aside, observing Sheng Nianyao calmly.

If there is no heart disease, could there be other diseases?

Chu Yian was a little worried, but there was no other way. He could only go back and wait for an opportunity to find a doctor to check her out.

Chu Yian put his heart at ease and carefully read the new task evaluation given by the system.

Did you get a different feeling from her?

How does it feel?

Chu Yian really didn’t remember what he had done. The only thing he had done was to help Sheng Nianyao spend money.

Could it be that this girl likes others to spend money for her? If she had said it earlier, she would have come a long time ago.

The system's evaluations are always ambiguous and unclear, leaving people to guess.

Chu Yian was not very smart, nor did he have the ability to see through people's hearts like Qin Sheng, otherwise he would have completed all those tasks successfully.

Why is it that up to now no task has reached 80% completion rate?

Chu Yian pursed his lips tightly, making random guesses in his mind.

The system task suddenly revived, the problem must be with Sheng Nianyao. Could it be that Sheng Nianyao and her relationship is closer than before, so the completion rate has increased so much?

Before Chu Yian could figure it out, Sheng Nianyao's heart palpitations had passed.

My heartbeat has slowed down, and the heat on my face has subsided.

Chu Yian breathed a sigh of relief and asked her, "Do you want to continue shopping? Or why not take a break today? I'll take you home and we can go shopping another day."

Sheng Nianyao nodded, a guilty look on her face: "I'm sorry, Sister Chu. I was planning to go shopping more today, but I ruined the fun."

Chu Yian quickly shook his head: "What are you talking about? Your health is more important. You can go shopping anytime. I'll find you another day and we can go shopping together again."

After hearing what Chu Yian said, Sheng Nianyao's expression improved a little, and her bright eyes curved, looking very beautiful.

"Then I'll wait for Sister Chu to come find me."

Chu Yian nodded. Today, he accompanied Sheng Nian Yao on a shopping spree and got a set of ruby ​​head ornaments worth more than two thousand taels of silver.

To be honest, Chu Yian was afraid that Sheng Nianyao would think that she was going shopping with her just to get gifts.

But after all, the other person gave her such an expensive gift, it would be unreasonable if she didn't give something back.

You can't keep spending other people's money.

The interaction between people should be give and take, rather than one party just giving. Such a relationship cannot last long.

But Chu Yian hadn't decided what gift to give Sheng Nianyao.

After sending Sheng Nianyao back to the Sheng family, Chu Yian lost interest in shopping alone and simply went back to the Duke's Mansion.

Halfway through the walk, she remembered that the Hua family had moved to Yi Fu Lane. To be honest, she had not visited the place since the Hua family moved there.

After thinking about it, Chu Yian suddenly decided to change his route and go to Yi Fu Lane.

The Duke's Mansion is on the east side, and Yi Fu Alley is on the southeast side. The distance is not very far. When the Hua family chose the location, they took Chu Yian's situation into consideration and chose a compromise location.

It took Chu Yian less than half an hour to walk over there.

After she and Xiaofu arrived, they asked around and found out that Hua had moved into a small courtyard with her people, not a big house.

When I walked to the gate of the courtyard, I saw that it was closed. There was no one at the gate, and it seemed particularly deserted.

Compared to when I was in the Chu family, the environment is much worse.

Chu Yian felt a little uncomfortable.

I went up and knocked on the door, and soon I heard a voice from inside: "Who is it?"

Chu Yian hurriedly reported his name: "I am Chu Yian."

The gate opened quickly, and the servant bowed to her and said, "Miss, you are back."

Chu Yian hummed: "Is mother here?"

The servant hurriedly said, "Yes, Miss."

The yard was small. Hua heard Chu Yian's voice from inside the house and came out, a little surprised: "Yian, why are you here?"

Chu Yian looked around the yard and frowned almost inaudibly.

The yard is really not big, and there are more than a dozen servants living there. It is really inconvenient to squeeze them together like this.

Not to mention that many of the servants are boys.

There are differences between men and women, and it is really not good to squeeze together like this for a long time.

Seeing Chu Yian's expression, Hua Shi hurried forward, took her hand and pulled her into the house, saying, "This place is a little small, but we are staying here temporarily. We will move in when we find a suitable house."

Chu Yian frowned: "Why not wait until you find a suitable house before moving? It's really troublesome to move back and forth like this."

Hua sighed, and Tao Shuang, who was standing beside her, hurriedly explained, "Miss, it's like this. We've already found a house and moved in."

"But the owner of the house came over and said we didn't want to rent it anymore and returned all the money to us."

"We have no choice but to move out and find a place to stay temporarily. We thought we could find a suitable house quickly in the next few days, but we looked at many and were not satisfied with them."

Chu Yian frowned even more tightly: "Rent? Why not buy one? Is it because you don't have enough money? If you don't have enough money, why didn't mother send someone to find me?"

"After all, we're going to live here for a long time, and with so many people here, it's probably more convenient to buy it."

Hua Shi felt warm at heart when she heard this, but she still shook her head: "Yi An, I know you are sensible, but you are already married. I am already satisfied if you come to see me occasionally."

"Don't spend your own money on us. If people tell others, they will say that you are using the Duke's Mansion's money to support your family. It will give you a bad reputation."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Renting a house is only temporary. I'll buy it when I have more money."

Chu Yian pursed his lips. Hua managed several shops and the business was pretty good. He had indeed made a lot of money over the years, so he shouldn't be so short of money.

I guess most of the money was spent on buying her dowry, so she lives in such a tight financial situation.
