The concept of a blind date is very common these days, but Ye Chen never thought it would be something he'd have to deal with so early on. Mother Ye said,
"Yes, a blind date. I heard from your Aunt Liu that the other party is not only good-looking but also a doctor who studied abroad."
Father Ye added,
"Your mother was initially worried that your financial situation wasn't good enough and that the other party might look down on you, but you don't have to worry about that now."
When Ye Chen heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
"There's no need for a blind date. I don't even know her; it would be awkward to meet."
"What's that attitude, young man? Your Aunt Liu already told the girl about you, and the girl agreed. Are you saying you won't go?"
his mother retorted. Ye Chen, hearing that his mother was about to get angry, hurriedly said,
"I'll go, I'll go! Why wouldn't I go?"
"That's more like it," she said, her tone softening.
"By the way, don't transfer any more money to your family. We don't even know how long it will take to spend the 1 million you sent. Don't spend your money so randomly. Houses are very expensive now. I heard that houses in Magic City cost millions or even tens of millions. If there's a match, you should hurry up and buy one. Having a house is a prerequisite; otherwise, if the girl knows you don't own a home, who would want to be with you?"
"Got it, Mom. Send me the details for the blind date—the address and her WeChat," Ye Chen said.
"Okay, I'll send them to you later. By the way, son, don't go spreading the word about your money. Don't you know the saying about not revealing one's wealth?"
"Got it. Well then, I'm hanging up," Ye Chen said.
"Alright, hang up."
Hearing the click, Ye Chen hung up the phone and let out a long breath.
"Mom is really something else," he thought.
"Why would she agree to a blind date for me without even asking...?"
"Wait, don't tell me she's already thinking about wanting a grandson..."
Ye Chen was only 23 now, and he was really unprepared to have a baby so early. Even though he had the financial strength, it was the same.
"Buzz." His phone vibrated.
Ye Chen glanced at it; it was a WeChat message from his mother. Clicking to open it, the time and place of the blind date appeared immediately.
"7 o'clock in the evening, Wangjiang Pavilion..."
"Wangjiang Pavilion? This woman actually set the blind date at Wangjiang Pavilion...?"
"Is she well-off herself, or is she trying to give me a show of her status, maybe even put me in my place?"
It was no wonder Ye Chen thought so. Wangjiang Pavilion was a high-end restaurant, and a meal for one person would cost no less than 3,000 yuan. If one ordered something extra, like a little wine, the bill would be even higher. Of course, this wasn't the key point. The most important thing was that the person had been introduced by Aunt Liu from his hometown. Since the other party knew his "conditions" and still chose to meet at Wangjiang Pavilion, it seemed to present an obvious challenge or statement.
"Forget it, I won't overthink it. I'll see what she's like tonight..."
Ye Chen had just thought of this when a photo was sent from his mother. Opening it, a woman wearing a doctoral cap and gown, standing in front of an equestrian statue, appeared on his screen. She looked good and had a good figure, but based on her age in the photo, she didn't look like someone who could already be a doctor.
"She looks quite young. Is she some kind of genius who often skipped grades?"
"If that's true, this could be interesting..."
"I'll see tonight and find out..."
After thinking about it, Ye Chen started the Bugatti Veyron and left. Half an hour later, he returned to the Presidential Suite of the Four Seasons Hotel. As soon as he entered the door, Du Xiaoya and Li Kexin, who were watching a drama together, looked over.
"Husband,"
Du Xiaoya called with a smile on her face. Ye Chen smiled and nodded.
At this moment, Li Kexin stood up, then came to Ye Chen and hugged him tightly.
"Husband, thank you."
Li Kexin was genuinely moved and started to cry. After she had confirmed that the figure in the video posted by her company colleagues was indeed Ye Chen, her tears had begun to flow uncontrollably. For this reason, Du Xiaoya had teased her for a while. Of course, Du Xiaoya wasn't being mean, but deliberately joking to lighten her mood. To be moved was to be moved; it was enough to shed tears for a while. Of course, this wasn't important. The important thing was that Li Kexin had once again strengthened her confidence in the choice she had made. She didn't regret choosing Ye Chen.
Ye Chen patted Li Kexin on the back lightly and said,
"Don't always say thank you. This is what I should do. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Well..." Li Kexin nodded and replied softly.
Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile, and then he hugged Li Kexin. After they sat down on the sofa, Ye Chen handed the real estate license in his hand to Du Xiaoya.
"The names have been added. Tomorrow, the two of you can go and take a look. By the way, have the furniture removed and replaced with new ones."
Du Xiaoya nodded.
"Good, husband."
She didn't look at the real estate certificate; it was unnecessary. If Ye Chen said their names had been added, then they had been added. It was impossible that he would deceive her and Li Kexin.
Li Kexin, who was being held by Ye Chen, suddenly thought of something, then looked at Ye Chen and said,
"Husband, what about that community? There are at least 2,000 suites."
The community Ye Chen had bought was not a single development but consisted of four districts: A, B, C, and D. The green area inside was very good, and the various facilities in the community were also perfect, such as fountains, rockeries, and pavilions. Although such a community wasn't a top-tier development in Magic City, it was certainly a high-end one. Ye Chen hadn't actually counted how many houses there were, but there were at least 2,000.
At this moment, Ye Chen glanced at Du Xiaoya, who was looking at him with anticipation, then looked at Li Kexin and asked,
"What do you want to do with it?"
Seeming to see the smile in Ye Chen's eyes, Li Kexin blushed and said,
"I discussed it with Xiaoya. Those houses are definitely not for sale right now. They can only be rented out or used as homestays."
Ye Chen nodded.
"Then do it like that. I'll leave it up to the two of you."
When Du Xiaoya heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and then she hurriedly asked,
"Husband, then... that community is really... really handed over to the two of us to manage?"
