At this moment, Yan Hanxi was completely absent-minded. He was wondering what He Jing's expression would be when she saw that the decoration style of this manor was somewhat similar to that of Zheng Cheng's house. Of course, in terms of luxury, Zheng's house was not even half as luxurious as this one.
He bought the estate at a high price not only because it was close to the ski resort, but also for another important reason: the estate had a hot spring. Who would have thought that the previous owner of the estate was so fond of enjoying life that he carved it out himself?
After skiing, he could take He Jing to the backyard to soak in the hot spring.
Thinking of this, Yan Hanxi felt pleased. He glanced at He Jing's profile and a noticeable curve appeared at the corner of his lips.
No sooner had He Jing gotten out of the car than He Sui sent her a video call invitation. He Jing hadn't figured out how to tell He Sui yet. She glanced at the time on her phone screen and did some mental calculations. Goodness, it was only five o'clock in City A.
She hurriedly accepted the invitation and saw a series of enlarged handsome faces squeezed together on her phone, which were quite dazzling.
He Jing counted them; there were exactly five faces, no more and no less.
It turns out they've all started.
Before He Jing could speak, He Sui grumbled, "Why did it take you so long to get here? Where are you now? Are you looking for a hotel?"
He Jing couldn't very well tell He Sui that she had just gone skiing and hadn't even skied yet when she arrived at someone's house. She secretly glanced at Yan Hanxi and nodded guiltily, "I just arrived at the hotel. It's a remote place, and it seems like there's only one hotel here."
He Yi, who had only warned the two of them not to stay in the same hotel, frowned behind He Sui, clearly unhappy.
He Sui then said, "Where is Xiao Guo? Let Xiao Guo be your witness."
He Jing couldn't help but call out, "Fourth Brother."
He Xiaoguo poked her head out from Yan Hanxi's arms toward He Jing.
He said sweetly, "This place is so great! Fourth Brother, I'll bring you here when I grow up and earn some money."
He Sui choked, the little bit of emotion he had managed to suppress welled up again, and he rolled his eyes: "Fourth Brother can earn money on his own, he will come on his own in the future."
He Xiaoguo pouted, then snuggled back into Yan Hanxi's arms and disappeared from the camera's view.
He Ning felt relieved to see He Jing, and disliked He Sui's overly inquisitive behavior, so she said, "Fourth brother, if you have nothing to say, just hang up. She's been on a plane all day and needs to rest."
He Sui understood; he just wanted to see He Jing a little more. He muttered, "You're so considerate," and was about to hang up when He Zhou suddenly said from the side, "Wait."
He Jing felt inexplicably nervous, afraid that He Zhou would notice something amiss, and tried her best to maintain her composure.
He Zhou squinted at her through the camera for a long time before saying cryptically, "A hotel is fine, but remember to sleep in separate rooms. Lock the door at night, and bring me back two cookbooks. Old Yu gave me a few tasks, and I need them."
He Jing breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile: "Okay, Third Brother."
The video call ended then.
She had just exited the video interface and turned around, wanting to praise He Xiaoguo's quick wit, when she saw Yan Hanxi smiling mockingly, "Model student, are you lying?"
This is his private residence, not a hotel.
He Jing glared at him, slightly annoyed: "It's all your fault."
Without her permission, they brought her directly to their manor.
Of course, He Jing knew that this kind of blaming was completely unreasonable. Who would want to travel so far when there was a place nearby to live?
He Xiaoguo raised her head and solemnly corrected Yan Hanxi: "Brother Yan Hanxi, this is a white lie. If Fourth Brother finds out, he will definitely overthink it and make me go back immediately. Then I won't be able to play with you anymore. I don't want to make you sad, so I lied."
