Chapter 167, I dare not
When they got back to the car, Zhang Youyou suddenly sighed. Seeing her heavy expression, Li Donghao didn't start the car but patiently stayed with her.
"I feel like a homeless person, going from one place to another, as if I have nowhere to settle down." Zhang Youyou pulled the seatbelt over and tucked in.
"Why do you say that?" Li Donghao patiently explained to her, following her steps.
“Look at me, I moved from the Zhang family to the Li family, then from the Li family to the school after I went to university,” he glanced at him and continued, “and then I moved from the school to your house. Finally, during the holidays, I moved from the Li family back to the Zhang family, and now I’m moving to your house. Even ants aren’t as diligent as me!”
Lee Dong-ho was amused by her words and gently took her small hand in his large one.
"You don't need to anymore. My home is your home!"
Zhang Youyou stared at him for a while before withdrawing her hand.
“It’s no use. What if I run away after we argue? If I go back to the Li family, they’re all your family. If I go back to the Zhang family…” Although he didn’t say the rest, Li Donghao knew that she wasn’t close to her parents and it was impossible for her to go back.
"So what do you want?"
Zhang Youyou leaned back in her chair, looking at the buildings not far away, and suddenly said, "Maybe I really should buy myself a house."
Now she seems to understand why so many girls want to buy their own houses, because they will find that they don't actually have their own home when they grow up.
It was rare for her to think so seriously, so Li Donghao agreed to accompany her.
The heavy conversation paused for a moment, and as Li Donghao started the car, he heard her blurt out, "I want to eat spicy crab!"
Okay, no matter how heavy the topic or how bad my mood is, eating is always the priority.
When they returned to Li Donghao's house, Zhang Youyou immediately took out her tablet to check the property information. Seeing how enthusiastic she was, Li Donghao accompanied her, but before that, he made her some juice.
"I can give you this house!" Li Donghao said. "If you don't believe me, I'll have my lawyer draft a contract right away. It's a free gift. How about that?"
Zhang Youyou put down her tablet, stared into his eyes, and asked seriously, "The house can be given away, but what about the water and electricity bills? What about the property management fees? Is it all included?"
“Sure!” Li Donghao nodded.
"What if I break up with you?" Although Zhang Youyou is usually carefree, she is still very thoughtful.
"You're willing to give me the house because we're dating, or because I have close ties with the Li family. What if it were someone else? Would you do the same?"
"So you never thought about being with me?" Lee Dong-ho seized on the key point.
Zhang Youyou sighed.
"I was just using an example." Feeling a little tired, Zhang Youyou rested her chin on her hand, glanced at the words on the tablet, and asked somewhat shyly, "Are you not used to living with me?"
Lee Dong-ho picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip, and calmly replied, "No."
His answer stunned Zhang Youyou, who slowly raised her head to look at him.
"You're not having any trouble adjusting? How could you not?"
"So what do you want to hear? Are you not used to it? Why?"
Zhang Youyou shook her head and slumped onto the table again.
Actually, she didn't quite understand either. It just felt strange going to the Zhang family's house to get things this time. Although she had taken things from the Zhang family many times before, she simply felt that there was no need to buy new ones. But now it felt different.
Lee Dong-ho rested his arm on the table, his large hand gently stroking her hair.
"Youyou, don't think too much. I won't regret it no matter whether we can make it to the end."
Her cheeks were distorted from being pressed down, and her speech was slurred, but Li Donghao still heard her clearly. She said, "I dare not."
The Li family has given her too much. When she was young and didn't understand, she reluctantly accepted it, but now that she's grown up, she knows that all gifts come with a price, and she doesn't dare to accept them easily.
