82: Decide on something

Name: Tang Xinyi (Affection: 80/100)

Xu Zimo hadn't expected Tang Xinyi's affection to reach eighty points just from two kisses.

This also indicated that, in Tang Xinyi's mind, kissing meant that the two of them already shared the most intimate relationship.

She had completely come to see Xu Zimo as her man, and as an indispensable part of her life; that sense of belonging was pure and profound.

Otherwise, her affection wouldn't have been so remarkably high.

Though Xu Zimo felt his blood surging and an indescribable impulse stirring within him, he restrained himself and made no other inappropriate moves.

He held Tang Xinyi's slender waist with one hand, while the fingers of his other hand gently brushed her cheek, as if caressing a peerless jade.

As for Tang Xinyi, ever since their second intimate kiss, her arms had naturally wrapped around Xu Zimo's neck and she hadn't let go.

This dependence was silent yet strong, like a vine clinging tightly to a tree, unwilling to separate.

An indescribable, enchanting atmosphere permeated between the two, and the air itself seemed to float with a faint sweetness and shyness.

At this moment, no words were needed.

Until some noise came from outside the door... "What are you doing here? Don't disturb your sister and your... brother-in-law."

It was Chen Yaqin's voice.

"Ow, ow, ow, Mom, let go..."

The eavesdropping Younger Sister-in-law was pulled away.

After they had gone a little further, Chen Yaqin quietly asked Tang Xinyao, who was still rubbing her ear, "Did you hear anything?"

"No."

Tang Xinyao pouted slightly, clearly still unhappy about her mother pinching her ear.

"No?"

Chen Yaqin was puzzled.

How could there be no sound?

How strange.

Inside the room.

With that interruption, the atmosphere between the two was instantly shattered.

Tang Xinyi withdrew her arms, her face flushed.

She was still shy.

She hadn't even expected herself to make such intimate gestures.

However, her pretty, bashful appearance made Xu Zimo chuckle.

"I..."

Tang Xinyi was about to playfully scold him, but Xu Zimo pulled her tightly into his embrace.

There was no longer any distance between them.

They could both feel each other's heartbeats.

"Tang Xinyi."

Hearing his soft call, Tang Xinyi looked up slightly in his arms, her eyes like autumn waters, gazing at him.

"Let's move to a different house."

"Hm?"

Tang Xinyi's eyes were full of confusion.

"Today, they came to cause trouble again, and Auntie's bracelet was broken..."

Xu Zimo explained, and Tang Xinyi's face immediately turned pale, even biting her lip slightly.

It wasn't her fault at all!

But, she had implicated her family and now had to endure all these things.

"Don't worry, I've already handed it over to a lawyer, and she will definitely pay the price for her actions!"

Xu Zimo comforted her, then continued, "However, for the safety of Uncle and Auntie, we need to move to a complex with better security facilities, which can prevent similar incidents from happening."

Tang Xinyi's family lived in an old resettlement apartment from a former company, which was actually only a two-bedroom, one-living room. They had just divided one room into two for the two sisters.

The room Tang Xinyi currently lived in was just big enough for a bed. The wardrobe was built into the wall, squeezing the space, and the windowsill was slightly expanded outwards, holding various books and other items.

It could be said that the entire space was almost completely filled.

When the two sisters were young, living there was fine, but now that they were both grown up and had more belongings, the room felt very cramped and inconvenient.

Just now, Tang Xinyao's voice from outside was clearly audible inside.

This showed how poor the sound insulation was.

Kissing was fine, but if they were to do anything else... it would definitely be very awkward.

"But..."

"It's settled then."

Tang Xinyi still wanted to say something, but Xu Zimo interrupted her.

Confused, she was still wondering what 'it's settled' meant when Xu Zimo took her hand and led her out of the room.

Her face was flushed like a peach blossom, her lips slightly swollen, exactly like a newlywed bride.

Chen Yaqin looked at the two who came out and immediately beamed with joy.

This is how they should look like a couple.

Two people who truly love each other would never be respectful as guests; they would be passionate.

Just like this.

Tang Rong never interfered with his daughter's choices. He glanced at them briefly and said nothing.

The most excited was actually the Younger Sister-in-law, Tang Xinyao. She hid behind her mother, looking at her sister's slightly swollen lips, her eyes sparkling.

They kissed!

They kissed!

"Uncle, Auntie."

Walking into the living room, Xu Zimo still held Tang Xinyi's small hand. After getting their attention, he continued, "Given what happened today, for the safety of you two, Tang Xinyi and I have decided to buy a new house first."

"Buy a new house?"

Tang Rong, Chen Yaqin, and Tang Xinyao all looked at him in surprise.

Since they were used to living there, they didn't mind the house being small.

A small home has its own warmth.

"Zimo, to be honest with you, our family... doesn't have much money right now," Chen Yaqin said, looking troubled.

She thought they were buying a wedding house.

Normally, both their names should be on the wedding house. Chen Yaqin's statement clearly implied that her family should contribute half.

Only by contributing money would her daughter not be looked down upon when she married into the family.

Xu Zimo's mood was a bit complex.

Indeed, a family that could raise such a morally upright daughter must also have morally upright parents.

In today's society, parents like Tang Xinyi's were truly rare.

Precious.

"Auntie, the money will come from me and Tang Xinyi."

Now it wasn't just the three of them; even Tang Xinyi looked at him in bewilderment.

Me? Hey, I just started my internship.

Tang Rong and Chen Yaqin exchanged glances, clearly understanding what Xu Zimo meant.

This child was too considerate.

As parents, they said no more, but they decided that they simply wouldn't add their daughter's name to the property then.

"We're moving to a new home?!"

The most excited person present was undoubtedly Tang Xinyao.

After all, she had a girlish mentality, and being at an art academy, several of her good friends from out of town in the same class, upon learning she was from Xingcheng, suggested coming to her house to play, but she was too embarrassed to invite them.

"What moving to a new home?"

Chen Yaqin glared at her, "That's your brother-in-law and sister's wedding house. Why are you getting excited?"

Immediately, the light in the young girl's eyes dimmed.

That's right... how could a Younger Sister-in-law live in her sister's new house?

However, if there were many rooms, she wondered... if she could stay temporarily.

"You young people's matters, you decide for yourselves."

The matter was settled while Tang Xinyi was still a bit bewildered.
