There are countless exquisite Chinese-style houses to admire, which are breathtaking and delightful.
Lin Tingfeng drove her slowly through the neighborhood, then stopped at the largest villa. The house was already lit up, and people lined up to greet them when they heard the car.
Lin Tingfeng parked the car and got out, tossing the car keys to the driver who was waiting on the side. Then he opened the passenger door and let Ye Wenyu get out.
A gentle night breeze was blowing, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers.
Everything was as beautiful as a dream—light, warm, and sweet.
Ye Wenyu slowly got out of the car and looked at the beautiful villa in front of her.
This is the largest villa in this upscale community; the courtyard alone is exceptionally large, enough to park twenty cars.
The courtyard has no walls, so you can see inside from the outside. It has all kinds of pavilions, towers, corridors, rockeries, fountains, ponds, bamboo chairs, and gazebos. Flowers are in full bloom, lights are shimmering, springs are gurgling, and birds are singing peacefully. The garden is planted with bamboo, welcoming pines, yews, and fir trees, as well as wild ginkgo, wild lotus grass, fragrant azaleas, and more. The purple magnolias, which are more than three meters tall, are fragrant, and the tea trees, which are more than two meters tall, are full of flowers. There are even three colors of tea flowers on the same tree: red, white, and pink! There were also fruit trees—pomelo, orange, and kumquat trees—the fruit still hanging heavily on the trees, probably because no one had picked them last year. Naturally, the fruit fell to the ground in the breeze, creating a scene of fairytale beauty. Shrubs over half a meter high, fences over two meters high, and hedges over five meters high—layer upon layer, dazzling the eye. There were many varieties of roses alone: small roses, large roses, red roses, pink roses—it seemed as if all the most beautiful flowers in the world had been planted here. In short, countless exotic flowers and rare herbs bloomed in profusion.
Ye Wenyu fell in love with it at first sight. She clapped her hands and cheered, her eyes crinkling with joy, and exclaimed sincerely, "I have never seen such a beautiful house before!"
Lin Tingfeng felt a surge of pride, and looking at the girl with stars in her eyes, he felt even happier. All the effort had been worthwhile!
Her face flushed red as she thought to herself, this was her lifelong dream! That was to one day live in such a house, because she loved Chinese-style houses the most. She had always felt that modern Chinese architecture looked like matchboxes, square and devoid of any beauty. But for her, even owning a matchbox was a luxury. So her love for houses could only be suppressed in her heart. This kind of Chinese-style villa could only be a dream.
I'd only ever seen such beautiful houses on TV before; I never imagined that someone actually lived in one in real life.
Lin Tingfeng gently asked her, "Do you like it?"
He stared at the house number with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness, but the girl's eyes were fixed on the pavilions, terraces, flowers, and trees, and she didn't look at the house number.
Ye Wenyu's eyes were constantly admiring the beautiful scenery. She nodded vigorously with great joy and said, "I like it very much. This house is very tastefully designed. Look at its unified style. A Chinese-style villa paired with a Chinese-style garden. This is high-class aesthetics!" As she praised it, her voice rose eight octaves because of her happiness.
"Really?" Lin Tingfeng was overjoyed to hear Ye Wenyu's praise. He said gently to her, "Come inside and take a look. I hired the best designer in the country for the interior design. All the furniture is made of mahogany and is in a Chinese style. See if you like it."
As he entered the villa, he deliberately paused at the doorplate, but the girl strode straight in without turning back. Lin Tingfeng shook his head in disappointment. Sigh, this surprise will have to wait until a few days to be revealed.
Accompanied by Lin Tingfeng, Ye Wenyu entered the villa. She looked from the first floor to the fifth floor, and then from the fifth floor to the basement. What could she say? Of course, she liked it very much.
The villa has five floors above ground and a basement, with countless rooms. Each room is exquisitely decorated and full of Chinese style. From large mahogany sofas and screens to small items like yellow dragon jade stone, huanghuali wood shelves, and small-leaf sandalwood tea trays, everything is exquisitely crafted.
Lin Tingfeng settled Ye Wenyu in a guest room, saying she must be tired after a day of sightseeing and should get some rest. Ye Wenyu had been worried that he might take advantage of her, but she slept soundly all night. When she woke up the next day, she couldn't help but sigh that Lin Tingfeng was indeed a gentleman, but at the same time, she was inexplicably a little disappointed.
Perhaps he really wasn't interested in her as he had seemed in the past. Otherwise, last night, he could have easily gotten her to agree to something because she owed him so much and liked him emotionally. After all, it was a matter of mutual consent.
But he didn't—
So the only reason is that he's not interested in her.
Ye Wenyu was somewhat downcast. He didn't like her, so accompanying her on a ten-day trip seemed like a very foolish thing to do, something that would make him addicted and deeply entangled. It was like an addict who kept saying he wanted to quit, but then took a big hit before quitting. Do you believe that? Probably no one in the world would.
While eating breakfast, she hoped that her trip with Lin Tingfeng would end soon. She even thought about mustering the courage to ask him to end this painful journey earlier.
Unexpectedly, Lin Tingfeng said to her in high spirits, "You came back too late last night and didn't get a good look at the garden. Today I'll take you around. This is a high-end villa area, and the gardens of the other owners are also quite nice."
Yes, it's a villa complex; wealth brought them together, making them high-quality neighbors.
