Chapter 198: Chapter 198 New Home, New Plan

Shen Siyuan returned home to find that Ruan Hongzhuang was still there, wearing pajamas, sitting on the sofa, browsing her phone, while munching on something.

"Eh?" Shen Siyuan was somewhat surprised.

Ruan Hongzhuang was just as surprised, looking at him with a skeptical expression.

"Why are you back so early? Didn’t you go to work?"

"I took a day off today," Shen Siyuan said.

"Took a day off? What for? You didn’t go on a date with some girl, did you? →_→"

Seeing her jealous demeanor, Shen Siyuan chuckled a bit and sat down beside her, glancing at the table.

"What are you eating?"

"Bread. Did you go have a feast for lunch?"

Ruan Hongzhuang suddenly pressed her face close and childishly sniffed at the corner of his mouth.

Shen Siyuan took the opportunity to playfully peck her on the corner of her lips.

But Ruan Hongzhuang recoiled with a disgusted face.

"Don’t touch me; you haven’t answered my question yet."

"It wasn’t exactly a feast, but I indeed had an appointment, although it wasn’t a date."

Hearing this, Ruan Hongzhuang didn’t ask who he had the appointment with.

"Enjoying yourself without even asking about me," Ruan Hongzhuang raised her phone in her hand, slightly dissatisfied.

"I thought you went to the office."

"Just speaking of it makes me angry. Are you crazy? It’s never-ending with you." Ruan Hongzhuang hit him lightly on the body, annoyed.

"I woke up at past eleven, what office would I go to then? With you tormenting me like this, you’re going to kill me eventually." Ruan Hongzhuang spoke with her face getting red.

"But last night, it was someone who was clamoring..." Shen Siyuan whispered into her ear.

"You’re looking for a death wish."

Ruan Hongzhuang, in a feigned rage, climbed on top of him and began to pull at his mouth.

"Haha, you really are timid and yet so playful," Shen Siyuan said.

"Don’t say it, don’t say it..."

Ruan Hongzhuang’s face flushed as she covered Shen Siyuan’s mouth with her hands.

Then she seemed to sense something and quickly hopped off him.

"What on earth are you always thinking about?"

"Thinking of you."

"..."

Ruan Hongzhuang didn’t know whether to be happy or angry.

"Alright, no more teasing. Go change your clothes, I’ll take you out for something nice to eat."

"I don’t want to go."

"After we eat, I’ll take you to see the new house," said Shen Siyuan.

At that, Ruan Hongzhuang perked up and immediately turned around to get ready.

Meanwhile, Shen Siyuan got up to clean up the table. Besides the bread Ruan Hongzhuang was eating, there were also cut-off rose stems, and in the vase nearby, bloomed a number of dazzling roses—these were what Shen Siyuan brought Ruan Hongzhuang that morning.

Because he had promised her that he would bring her a rose or a bouquet every day, Shen Siyuan specially prepared many roses in his space.

And every time Ruan Hongzhuang received the roses, she would carefully place them in a vase, adding a splash of color to their cramped rental home.

Sea Breeze District and Hai Chao District are only one character apart in name, but the difference in environment is like heaven and earth.

Hai Chao District consists of smaller apartment buildings, many owned by people from out of town for holiday use, mostly vacant long-term, only occupied during vacations, or rented out to sub-landlords for homestay use.

In short, the environment is not bad, but the people coming and going are varied.

The Sea Breeze District, on the other hand, is different. The housing types there are all large flats, the smallest being 160 square meters.

One elevator for each household, two balconies in different directions connected together, forming an L-shaped corridor, a bit like the galleries in old houses.

With an extremely open view, unobstructed, with the sunshine, beach, coconut trees, and more all within sight.

"Wow, the environment here is really nice. When I bought a house, I actually considered this place too."

Ruan Hongzhuang stood on the balcony, stretched her body, and took a deep breath of the moist air coming from the sea.

"Do you want to move in and live together?" Shen Siyuan asked.

Although he didn’t have a clear idea when he saw the 230 square meters on the property deed, it was only after he entered that he realized how truly spacious it was, to the point of seeming a bit empty.

Moreover, the apartment was fully furnished, ready to move in with just a suitcase.

"Move over here? I asked you to move to my place last time, why didn’t you agree?"

"Is that the same thing?"

"Pfft, such a male chauvinist."

"So, do you want to move over here or not?"

"I need to think about it..."

Upon hearing her response, Shen Siyuan didn’t continue the topic. Whether she moved in or not was up to her.

As Ruan Hongzhuang entered the room, she paced back and forth with her hands behind her back and said, "It’s nice but a bit too empty. We need to add some things."

"What needs to be added?" Shen Siyuan was puzzled.

He saw that there was a TV, a sofa, lights, and a bed—everything necessary for living. He couldn’t think of anything else that needed to be added.

Ruan Hongzhuang rolled her eyes at him, "You live too simply. Leave the rest to me. After I decorate it, I’ll consider whether to move over or not."

Shen Siyuan stretched out his hand to touch the wall, then walked onto the balcony and looked at the beach in the distance, saying, "The humidity here is quite high."

"What’s the problem? Just use a dehumidifier," Ruan Hongzhuang suggested as she approached him.

"That will definitely cost a lot in electricity bills."

"You live in such a big house and you’re still worried about electricity bills?"

"What do you think? Half my monthly salary goes to paying the electricity bill."

"Ha, do you want to consider working at my company? I’ll give you a raise," Ruan Hongzhuang offered.

"Don’t even think about it."

"Pfft, male chauvinist."

While the two were talking, a weird scream ’ao hao’ came from the balcony next door.

Duoduo was seen squatting on the balcony, looking at them through the glass.

Ruan Hongzhuang smiled and waved at her; she immediately stood up, clung to the balcony railing, tiptoed, and tried to stretch her small head out further.

Shen Siyuan: ...

"Are you silly? Can’t you just come over directly?"

"Eh, oh right, hi hi hi..."

"Duoduo~"

Lin Jianming emerged from inside the house and greeted Shen Siyuan upon seeing him.

"Mr. Shen, have you moved over?"

"Not yet, just came to take a look. How about you guys?"

"We’ve moved over. We didn’t have much to bring, just took our things straight from the hotel," Lin Jianming said with a smile.

At that moment, Duoduo made herself invisible, created a swirl of Yin Wind, and flew straight onto the opposite balcony, bypassing the stairs altogether.

"You’re just in time; I have something to do tonight," Shen Siyuan said.

Duoduo froze upon hearing this. I just wanted to play with you, and now you’re putting me to work.

"What is it?"

"You’ll know tonight," Shen Siyuan replied.

He had completed the Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Sword, and from Xiajing, he had obtained a treasure gourd that could capture ghosts, so he wanted to explore the Netherworld again.

While Shen Siyuan spoke with Duoduo, Ruan Hongzhuang quietly listened beside them, not interrupting or asking any questions.

But at that moment, Shen Siyuan suddenly turned around, his face bearing a radiant smile, "I forgot to tell you something."

"What is it?"

Seeing his glowing smile, Ruan Hongzhuang felt an inexplicable sense of panic within.

"It’s about your grandma. I wanted to tell you last night, but you were sleeping so soundly, I didn’t wake you. And there wasn’t a chance this morning either."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Hongzhuang displayed a strange expression.

She nervously asked, "The dream I had last night, it wouldn’t happen to be true, would it?"

Shen Siyuan nodded with a smile.
