47: Chapter 47 Buying a House: The System Shop is Finally Opening!
When sunlight spilled through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the bedroom, Zhou Wenying was still curled up in the velvet quilt, fast asleep.
Her eyelashes cast delicate shadows in the morning light, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, as if she were having a sweet dream.
She opened her eyes hazily and realized she was curled up in Jiang Jing's arms. Memories of last night came flooding back like a tide, her earlobes turned bright red instantly, and she subconsciously shrank into the quilt.
"Awake?" Jiang Jing's voice carried the laziness of the morning, his fingers gently combing through her disheveled long hair.
Zhou Wenying buried her face in his chest and gave a muffled "Mm." Her legs were still soft even now; this man was simply not human.
"Get up and get ready, I'm taking you somewhere." Jiang Jing patted her back.
Half an hour later, Zhou Wenying chose the beige Chanel knit dress she had bought yesterday, paired with the diamond necklace Jiang Jing had given her. The girl in the mirror was bright and stunning; there wasn't a trace of student-like aura left.
"Where are we going?" Zhou Wenying asked curiously as she sat inside the lamborghini.
Jiang Jing turned the steering wheel, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"Buying a house."
These two words made her freeze for a moment.
...
At the Yunhai View Mansion sales office, Manager Zhou was scolding a new salesperson: "You didn't even know you lost the client from last week? Do you know this..."
His phone suddenly rang. Seeing the caller ID, Manager Zhou's expression instantly changed from furious to overjoyed: "Mr. Jiang! You're coming? Okay, I'll prepare immediately!"
After hanging up the phone, Manager Zhou rushed into the restroom to straighten his tie like he'd been injected with adrenaline, then practiced a standard smile in the mirror three times.
The scene of Jiang Jing coming to buy a house last time was still vivid in his mind; that was a god of wealth who had swiped over 40 million without even blinking!
When that extravagant lamborghini pulled up to the entrance, the security guard at the door had already notified Manager Zhou.
"Mr. Jiang!" Manager Zhou rushed up to greet him, the smile on his face three times more enthusiastic than last time.
Zhou Wenying held onto Jiang Jing's arm, her fingertips tightening unconsciously. She had heard of Yunhai View Mansion—one of the top luxury residences in Rong City.
"Something similar to the one Li Xue has." Jiang Jing's tone was indifferent, as if he were picking out mineral water at a supermarket.
Manager Zhou's eyes lit up: "There happens to be a flat on the 18th floor, 310 square meters, with a private pool and a sky garden. The decoration style was designed by an Italian designer..."
"Lead the way."
As the elevator rose at a steady speed, Zhou Wenying looked through the glass curtain wall at the city landscape that was gradually shrinking, her heart beating faster and faster. She secretly glanced at Jiang Jing's profile and found him lost in thought.
"What are you thinking about?" She leaned in and asked with concern.
Jiang Jing shook his head: "Nothing."
He was actually looking at the System panel—[Current Assets: 680 million]
Counting the cashback from this house, the opening of the System Mall was right before his eyes.
The elevator "dinged" and stopped at the 18th floor.
The moment Manager Zhou pushed open those double doors, Zhou Wenying gasped.
Outside the entire floor-to-ceiling window, the Rong River snaked by like a silver dragon. In the six-meter-high living room, a grand piano stood quietly in the corner, its body reflecting the morning light.
"This... is this really for me?" Her voice trembled, her fingers tightly gripping Jiang Jing's sleeve.
Jiang Jing didn't answer, but instead walked toward the floor-to-ceiling window.
From this angle, one could see the building where Li Xue's apartment was located, with a straight-line distance of less than five hundred meters.
A battlefield?!
Non-existent!
Jiang Jing could not be manipulated; he could only manipulate others!
"Do you like it?" He turned and asked.
Zhou Wenying nodded like a pecking chicken, stars shining in her eyes: "I love it so much!"
"Then this one." Jiang Jing turned to Manager Zhou and said. "Put her name on it, full payment."
Manager Zhou's eyes squinted with a smile. It had only been a few days? Another one?
He fought the urge to laugh up at the sky and asked according to procedure: "Mr. Jiang, this unit is 45 million in total, are you sure..."
"Sure, swipe the card."
Manager Zhou took the two of them back to the VIP hall, prepared the documents, and got the contract ready extremely quickly. Jiang Jing also straightforwardly made the payment.
The moment Jiang Jing swiped the card, Zhou Wenying felt her heart almost jump out of her chest.
45 million!
This number echoed continuously in her mind, making her eardrums buzz.
She gripped the edge of the purchase contract tightly, the paper trembling slightly at her fingertips, as if this were not a document, but a pass to heaven.
"This... is it really mine?" She murmured, her voice so light as if she were afraid of waking up from this beautiful dream.
Manager Zhou handed over the keys with a smile all over his face: "Ms. Zhou, congratulations on becoming the owner of the 18th floor at Yunhai View Mansion."
The keys were heavy, and the cold touch of the metal finally made it feel real to her.
She turned around abruptly and threw herself into Jiang Jing's arms, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck, her whole body almost hanging on him.
Manager Zhou tactfully retreated to the side, calculating how much commission he would get this time, and as he calculated, his eyes squinted with a smile again.
The gazes of several female sales staff around her stabbed at her like knives, red with jealousy, but Zhou Wenying didn't care at all. She even intentionally stood on her tiptoes and kissed Jiang Jing heavily on the lips, making a loud "muah" sound, and then glanced at them triumphantly.
What are you looking at? This man is mine!
[Zhou Wenying Favorability + 1] (Currently 94)
[Lottery Chances + 1]
Her mind had already started frantically calculating—
I need to post a nine-grid photo on my Moments!
The location must include "Yunhai View Mansion"!
For the caption, I'll write: "New home~ Thank you, dear!", and add a shy emoji!
Just imagining the classmates' reactions when they see it made her toes curl in excitement.
Didn't that b*tch Liu Meng show off the apartment her sugar daddy rented for her last time? Let's see how she shows off this time! Oh, right, her sugar daddy is probably already disgraced.
And that group of girls in the dance department who are always being sarcastic all day, this time I'll make sure they're so jealous they can't sleep!
Twenty years old, not even graduated from university, yet already owning a luxury mansion worth 50 million.
She suddenly remembered her crowded dormitory—the bathroom was always queuing, it was as hot as a steamer in the summer, and the electricity bill was frighteningly expensive.
Getting into conflicts with roommates, without even any private space.
And now...
Zhou Wenying shook her head, quickly wiped the corner of her eye, and raised a smile so bright it was dazzling: "It's nothing, just..."
"Thank you, hubby!" Zhou Wenying left her mark on Jiang Jing's lips, completely ignoring the green-with-envy gazes of the several female sales staff around them.
Jiang Jing raised an eyebrow: "You changed how you address me pretty quickly."
"I was going to call you that sooner or later anyway~" She rubbed her nose against his coaxingly, then paused, her voice suddenly softening, "Thank you for letting me know that life can be this wonderful."
After saying this, she felt she was being too sentimental, so she quickly jumped up and hung onto Jiang Jing like a koala, using her coquettishness to cover up that momentary vulnerability: "I don't care! From now on, this is our little love nest! You have to come keep me company often!"
Jiang Jing chuckled and lifted her by the hips with a bounce: "That depends on your performance."
Zhou Wenying bit her lower lip, a cunning light flashing in her eyes, and leaned into his ear to blow softly: "I'm planning to go buy some lingerie... the kind that's very stingy with fabric..."
[Spent 45 million, received 10x cashback, totaling 450 million]
[Current Assets: 1.13 billion]
[System Mall has been opened]
Jiang Jing's pupils shrank slightly—it was finally here.
