After the meal, Cheng Qicai took Ms. Yun and the others home and then handed the card to Gu Rongqi.
"What's wrong?"
"You can keep the card. I don't need to buy anything. I have my own money." Cheng Qicai frowned and muttered softly, "Besides, I always feel uneasy using your parents' money."
Gu Rongqi knew she still didn't trust them, so he took the card and said, "Okay, then I'll put the card in the cabinet."
Cheng Qicai breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him casually put the card in the cabinet. The two families' relationship had suddenly improved after going from bad to good, and Cheng Qicai felt a little awkward holding the card, as if it were a hot piece of coal.
So when Gu Rongqi took it, she actually felt relieved.
She thought of Qianzhi asking them to move to Gu Rongqi's villa, and a sense of unease rose in her heart. The thought of the unknown environment and life made her feel uneasy.
She frowned and asked, "When do you plan to move to the villa?"
When do you want to go?
"I don't know." Cheng Qicai bit her lower lip.
Are you scared?
"Sigh, yes, a little." Cheng Qicai sighed.
"I'm here for you. If you encounter any difficulties adjusting, just tell me."
She rested her chin on his shoulder, looking up at him with her eyes raised, "I think I'm starting to feel like a poor person who's suddenly become rich."
Isn't this much bigger than winning the lottery?
Gu Rongqi looked at her and said, "Didn't you already consider yourself a little rich woman?"
"How did you know?" Cheng Qicai's eyes widened. She had only ever said such arrogant things to Wu Jieyu. "You peeked at my phone."
"No, I just happened to glance at it during our last chat."
"Really?" Cheng Qicai looked at him suspiciously. "You didn't see anything else, did you?"
"No." Gu Rongqi smiled helplessly. "You only saw me that one time. Do you really need to treat me like a thief?"
"It's necessary," Cheng Qicai said firmly. She was already thinking about getting a new privacy screen protector for her phone.
Seeing her guarded demeanor, Gu Rongqi was still a little angry, even though he knew she hadn't done anything wrong.
He took her hand and bit her fingertips.
The bite was a bit too hard, and a ring of teeth marks instantly appeared on Cheng Qicai's fingertips.
"Are you a dog?!" Cheng Qicai glared at him with displeasure.
Gu Rongqi then kissed her fingertips a few more times to comfort her.
He's an expert at giving a sweet treat after a beating.
Cheng Qicai came to her senses by evening; moving there was inevitable, and there was no point in agonizing over it.
The next day, she silently looked at the pile of things in her room.
Since she moved here, she has never properly spent a single day lying in this room; it has become her daytime relaxation spot.
The last move was a long and arduous process, and now we have to move again.
She swore she wouldn't move just a few months ago, but now she's gone back on her word.
"If you don't want to move, you can leave your things here and go buy them over there, or come over occasionally and move them slowly. There's no rush."
“That’s true.” Looking at all the things in the room, Cheng Qicai simply gave up the idea of moving everything.
This time, I guess we won't move it again. It'll be better to move it little by little later.
Finally, Cheng Qicai packed some of her things and moved to the villa with Gu Rongqi.
This time felt different from before; I felt a little embarrassed and a little nervous.
She's really going to live in a big villa like this? That's unbelievable.
The servants in the villa were the same group that Cheng Qicai had met before, which made her feel much less nervous.
Gu Rongqi led her around the villa, introducing each room to Cheng Qicai.
With Gu Rongqi by her side, Cheng Qicai gradually relaxed.
Qianzhi did prepare a lot of things for her, from small items like towels and toothbrushes to large items like clothes and jewelry.
"Auntie, you've prepared way too much!" Cheng Qicai was dumbfounded as she looked at the room full of designer clothes. This would allow her to wear a different outfit every day of the year.
"It's alright." Gu Rongqi led her to another room. "This is mine."
This room was twice the size of the room where Qianzhi had put her clothes. Stepping inside, Cheng Qicai felt like she was shopping in a luxury store.
No wonder Gu Rongqi said that Qianzhi's preparations for her were "okay".
She couldn't help but exclaim, "No wonder everyone likes to date rich men; it really feels different."
"How come it's different?"
"Money can easily corrupt people's hearts. Now that I see such expensive things in your store, when I go out shopping, I won't even want to use coupons anymore!"
Gu Rongqi chuckled softly, "If you don't want to accept it, then don't."
"I told you a capitalist like you couldn't empathize with a poor wretch like me." But when she actually refused to accept it, she got upset.
Although she had some impression of Gu Rongqi's wealth before, he had already moved out when she got together with him. Although the neighborhood he lived in was also a high-end neighborhood, Cheng Qicai felt it was okay.
Later, Gu Rongqi often accompanied her to cook, go shopping, and visit night markets. As a result, Cheng Qicai's initial impression of Gu Rongqi as being extremely wealthy became blurred during this period.
Now that Gu Rongqi has returned to his former identity, Cheng Qicai's initial feelings have returned.
Looking at the various rooms, she sighed, "If you had remained in your previous status, I don't think we would have ever become a couple."
"Why?"
"This is too far away."
"And now?"
Cheng Qicai pondered, "It's alright now. I've seen your shameless side, and you've shattered my illusions about you. I feel like you're just average now. After all, you were able to fall for me, so your taste can't be that great."
“You’re great.” Gu Rongqi looked at her seriously. “I’m just an ordinary person. There’s no need to have any bias against me.”
“I also think I’m pretty good… but what you’re saying is so Versailles-esque!” Cheng Qicai nudged his waist. “Everyone says that having a filter is a thing of the past. People tend to have a filter on people they don’t know well.”
What do you mean, "ordinary person"? With his family background and appearance, he calls himself an ordinary person? That's outrageous.
Gu Rongqi stayed with her at the villa for a long time, and she gradually adapted to life in the villa.
