Chapter 183, Buying a House
After a year of consideration, Zhang Youyou finally bought a house in F City during her sophomore summer vacation.
Originally, she wanted to buy a house in her hometown because she would go back to her hometown during holidays or vacations. When she went back, she would have to go back and forth between the Li and Zhang families, so it was very important to have a house of her own in her hometown.
But after a year of consideration, and with Li Donghao's reminder, her thoughts changed.
Going back to her hometown would inevitably involve the Li and Zhang families, but Li Donghao has a house there, so she can hide there. F City, on the other hand, is where she will be staying for the next few years, and she likes the city very much, so buying a house here is not a bad idea.
Originally, she only planned to buy a small two-bedroom apartment, but she climbed up to Li Donghao, a powerful figure, and with his protection, she could choose a better one.
She thought a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment would be good enough, but Li Donghao took her to see a villa instead—it was a very famous villa area in F City, with a good environment and convenient surrounding facilities, except for the price.
“I do have some money, but I’m afraid I couldn’t even afford a year’s worth of property management fees for a house here,” Zhang Youyou said quietly, squeezing his hand tightly.
Li Donghao only replied with three words, "Let's see!"
As a result, I immediately fell in love with it.
Just because you have your eye on something doesn't mean you can have your wallet. Even if Li Donghao agrees to help, he won't pay the full amount. Even if he does, she'll still have to pay it back. How long will she have to pay it back?
When they returned, Li Donghao asked her how she liked the house. Zhang Youyou honestly said it was great. Li Donghao then asked if she liked it. Zhang Youyou said she did. Li Donghao then asked if she wanted it. Only then did Zhang Youyou's reaction become more complicated.
"Big brother, you don't really want me to buy this, do you?"
"Do you like it?" Lee Dong-ho asked again.
This time, Zhang Youyou was discouraged, saying, "I can't afford it."
Zhang Youyou wasn't unfamiliar with villas; the Li family's old house was a villa, but that was because the Li family was financially strong. As for her? With her limited resources, she couldn't even afford one floor of the Li family's old house.
"If you like it, you can afford it!"
At the time, Zhang Youyou thought he was crazy, but a few days later he came to her with the property certificate and said he would sell her the villa if she paid him 100 yuan.
Zhang Youyou's eyes widened in disbelief, and he seriously suspected that he had been kicked in the head by a donkey.
“Don’t you like it?” Lee Dong-ho said, “Or I could just write ‘gift’ on it, how about that?”
Zhang Youyou didn't quite understand what he meant, but Li Donghao was very patient.
"Didn't I tell you before that if I met someone I liked, I would listen to her and give her whatever house she wanted? Now I've met her, and she told me she likes big houses, so I thought this villa was pretty good and decided to give it to her. I hope she can see my sincerity!"
Zhang Youyou pouted, tears welling up in her eyes, surprised that he still remembered something from so long ago.
Seeing her reaction, Li Donghao grabbed her hands, bent down, looked into her eyes, and said, "Zhang Youyou, I like you and want to live with you for the rest of my life. This house is my way of showing my sincerity. If you're willing, please join me in building a family, okay?"
Although it wasn't the first time he had confessed his feelings, it was the first time he had said he wanted to build a family with her. Zhang Youyou really didn't know how to refuse.
Her first love, her innocent crush, was him. The moon that she once thought was unattainable was now shining on her. How could she not be moved?
"But, but I'm so old..."
“I can wait!” Li Donghao knew what she was worried about and continued, “Whether it’s age or mindset, I won’t force you as long as you don’t agree. I’m already very happy that you’ve agreed to be my girlfriend. As for anything else, I don’t ask for anything else. I just want you to be healthy and happy!”
Tears finally streamed down her face as Zhang Youyou threw herself into his arms, letting her tears of happiness soak his clothes.
