"So you mean you like it here too?"

Lin Shen heard that she had already started thinking about decorating, so she must like it, right?

Xia Wenxi nodded, "Of course, the environment here is very nice and quiet, and there's a front yard and a backyard. I think it's better than an apartment."

"Okay, then I'll go back and pay the deposit first."

Hearing him talk about buying a house so casually, Xia Wenxi couldn't help but ask, "This house must cost a lot of money, right? Do you have enough savings? I have money too."

After all, Lin Shen, as the president, can only be considered a salaried president.

Even though she now holds more shares, it's not time for dividends yet, based on Xia Wenxi's simple understanding of real estate...

This house is definitely not cheap.

Lin Shen took Xia Wenxi's hand and led her upstairs to show her the room.

"That's enough, don't worry."

Xia Wenxi grabbed him, "You can't go bankrupt trying to buy a house. If you need more, tell me, okay? I won't laugh at you."

Xia Wenxi's concerns were not unfounded.

After graduating, Lin Shen initially worked for the company for almost nothing, earning very little salary.

Later, Lin Shuyu retired and started managing the company. His salary was higher, but it was still within the salary range because he didn't have many shares and his dividends were also small.

Xia Wenxi knew about these things, but she was still complaining in her heart that Lin Shuyu was stingy, treating his own son like a donkey, and not even giving him much money.

She could earn more as a professional manager than that. In her opinion, it's just that Lin Shen has a very good temper. If it were her, she would have simply given up.

"Besides my salary, I've also made investments in recent years, so I have enough money. There's no need to worry about that."

Lin Shen pushed open one of the room doors and asked Xia Wenxi, "How about we use this room as the master bedroom?"

Xia Wenxi yawned as she walked in, "You mentioning the master bedroom makes me a little sleepy."

"How about we stop watching and I take you home to sleep?"

Xia Wenxi gave him four words.

"Since we're already here..."

She blinked and continued walking inside. She couldn't let today's trip go to waste, could she?

The living room, dressing room, bedroom, bathroom, and balcony were all similar to those in her own home.

Xia Wenxi walked to the balcony. It was the middle of the night, so naturally, apart from the lit courtyard, she couldn't see anything else.

"We don't look like we're here to look at a house late at night; we look like we're here to destroy evidence of a crime."

The house was so big that the lights were only turned on when the two of them were standing there, and their voices echoed. If Lin Shen hadn't been there, Xia Wenxi would have definitely turned around and left on her own.

Saying it was a crime was obviously a joke, but when the two drove away towards Xia Wenxi's house, they actually heard police sirens.

Xia Wenxi's expression was strange. "No way? Someone really committed a crime?"

And why does the sound of the siren seem to be getting closer and closer...?

When Xia Wenxi saw the police car outside the residential area... she was completely stunned, and all her sleepiness vanished.

"They're not going to my house, are they?"

Even though she knew the people outside couldn't hear her, Xia Wenxi still spoke in a low voice.

Lin Shen laughed and said, "What's wrong? Did you commit some crime?"

Xia Wenxi turned to the side and kissed him on the cheek, then uttered a cheesy pickup line.

"I have committed the sin of stealing a heart; I have stolen the heart of a man named Lin Shen."

After Xia Wenxi finished speaking, she felt like vomiting in her heart. She never thought that such words would come out of her mouth. It seems that love really does make people "degenerate"!

"Well, I won't call the police even if you steal it, because I gave it to you willingly."

Xia Wenxi rubbed her arms, and goosebumps rose on her skin.

When Xia Wenxi asked if the police car was going to her house, she was joking, since there are still some residents here, even though there aren't many.

But she soon saw in the rearview mirror that a police car had been following Lin Shen's car the whole way.

"No way?"

Lin Shen also saw the police car, but he still didn't think the police were going to the Xia family's house.

"Maybe they went to the neighbor's."

Xia Wenxi nodded, but her eyes remained fixed on the rearview mirror.

It wasn't until the last fork in the road, where one road led to her house and the other to the house next door, that the police car parted ways with them.

"I thought my words had come true and the police car had really arrived. But my neighbor next door..."

Xia Wenxi asked Lin Shen, "Do you remember the last time you came to my house, my parents went out to see what was going on? Wasn't it just next door?"

"Yes, I remember."

"But would two police cars suddenly arrive for a relationship dispute?"

Lin Shen didn't care much about other people's business, but he glanced at the radiant Xia Wenxi and smiled, "Weren't you sleepy just now? Are you awake now?"

"Who wouldn't be alert when they hear a police siren?"

If it were a normal residential area, Xia Wenxi could go up and see what was going on, but here she couldn't see anything at all. Moreover, the police cars had turned off their sirens before they came in, so now she couldn't hear a sound at all.

"You should just go home and sleep."

When Xia Wenxi brought Lin Shen home, she was indeed the first one to return home. Only Xiaoyuer, who was doing parkour in the living room, ran over to greet the two of them.

Xia Wenxi reacted quickly, scooped it up, and took the cat and Lin Shen upstairs.

Lin Shen looked at the big fat cat in Xia Wenxi's arms and hesitated:

"Why does it look like it's gotten fatter?"

Xia Wenxi weighed it in her hand. "Uh... it's alright. We're just a bit thick-skinned, but our weight is actually normal."

But when they got to the room and put it down, Xia Wenxi shook her arm.

He gave an awkward laugh. "I'll weigh it tomorrow and ask the doctor if it needs to lose weight."

Little Fish couldn't understand human speech. After wandering around Xia Wenxi's room, it jumped onto the bed as if it knew the way well, curled up into a ball, and went to sleep.

"You can stay at my place tonight. Don't drive so late; it's not good to drive when you're tired. The guest room you slept in before is yours from now on."

Lin Shen looked down into Xia Wenxi's eyes and asked, "Is it just a guest room? Is there a chance to change rooms later?"

Xia Wenxi smiled and pretended to be stupid, deliberately saying, "If there's a chance, marry Xia Wensheng off, and his room will be yours."

"But I want to stay in this daughter's room, what should I do?"

"You have ulterior motives!"

Xia Wenxi reached out and touched Lin Shen's face, looking just like a bully harassing a man.

"You're a good-looking young man. Go wash up and you'll sleep with me tonight."

Xia Wenxi told him to take a shower in the guest room, "That room is for you to sleep in, there are clothes in the closet."

Lin Shen nodded and agreed, then bent down and kissed Xia Wenxi.

"I was just joking with you. I'll be sleeping in the guest room tonight. You should take a shower and get some rest."

Xia Wenxi blinked and obediently nodded, saying "okay."

But in her heart, she was already plotting a "bad" idea.
