Accidentally Married to the Big Shot-Chapter 287 - : Buying Another Villa

Chapter 287 -287: Buying Another Villa

The two of them went to see houses in Yun City that day.

The estate was called “Shi Li Fang Yuan,” mainly composed of villas, with no commercial housing.

It wasn’t clear whether it was Xi Huarong’s attention to detail or the astuteness of the human resources department, but they arranged a talent introduction certificate for Gu Wei. As a high-end talent, he qualified for considerable housing discounts.

And Su Meixi wasn’t thinking about saving him money at all—she picked out a lakeside villa with an extremely open view.

Although the size wasn’t as big as those in Feng City, it would be very comfortable if well-furnished, with three floors and great potential.

The property deed was still under Su Meixi’s name—it didn’t matter whose name it was in after marriage, the main idea was to provide peace of mind.

No sooner had they signed the housing contract and paid the deposit than they ran into Xi Wanlin and Li Hengze at the housing center.

Upon seeing Su Meixi, both of them paused.

Xi Wanlin walked over to Su Meixi and managed a slight smile, “Xiao Xi, you’ve taken a fancy to the houses here too?”

Su Meixi lifted the housing contract in her hand, “Yeah, just picked out a place. Are you here to buy a house too?”

“Yes, Hengze and I are preparing for our wedding at the end of the month, so we plan to buy a matrimonial home.”

“Congratulations,” Su Meixi said.

Xi Wanlin asked further, “So are you planning to stay in Yun City for good? Otherwise, why would you think of buying a house here?”

Su Meixi nodded, “At least for the next few years, I’ll be in Yun City.”

“And your family’s Gu Wei… in which entity does he work in Yun City?”

“The S Committee,” Su Meixi replied directly.

Xi Wanlin’s hand trembled, but she still smiled and said, “That’s really great, with daddy covering for him, his career will surely soar to new heights.”

Su Meixi said, “It’s more reliable to depend on oneself.”

“Don’t speak too soon. Daddy has been deeply involved in the S Committee for many years, and isn’t that old, he can still cover for you for many more years.”

Su Meixi didn’t continue the conversation but instead turned to greet Li Hengze.

Li Hengze hurriedly smiled at Su Meixi and then glanced at Gu Wei.

This was the first time Li Hengze had met Mr. and Mrs. Gu Wei, and his first impression was that the couple was very eye-pleasing.

The man was handsome, the woman beautiful, not at all inferior to the leading men and women on TV drama shows.

In front of Gu Wei, he felt somewhat inferior, but what could be said? The man was indeed handsome with good demeanor and quality.

Li Hengze thought that recognizing others’ talents is also a virtue.

As for himself? He believed he wasn’t bad either. People can’t compare themselves to others all the time; it only serves to exhaust oneself.

However, Xi Wanlin did not think in the same way.

She felt that she was too outstanding, excessively so, and yet the heavens hadn’t granted her things to match.

Why should Su Meixi have a better life than hers?

The four individuals’ brief encounter ended in just a short while.

The sales lady came to attend to Xi Wanlin, “Miss Xi, the villa you were interested in last time, we’ve still reserved it for you. Several people have inquired these past few days, but I haven’t sold it.”

Xi Wanlin asked, “The couple that just left, which house did they buy?”

“Oh, it’s right next to the one you were interested in. You must be friends, right? That’s perfect, living close to friends makes it easy to meet up and strengthens relationships,” the sales lady said with presumptive authority.

Xi Wanlin ignored her and turned to Li Hengze, “Let’s go look at other estates, I don’t like the feng shui here.”

Li Hengze knew it was because she minded Su Meixi that she no longer wanted to buy there, but he could only indulge her.

“Okay, let’s check out other estates. We’ll keep looking until we find one to your satisfaction.”

The sales lady couldn’t help asking, “You’re… not buying?”

Xi Wanlin walked off in her high heels without looking back.

Silent the whole way back to the car, Xi Wanlin didn’t utter a word.

Li Hengze could only say, “Let’s go see the next estate. It’s close to your office, so it’ll be more convenient for your daily work commute.”

“Let’s go.” Xi Wanlin just felt it was a pity since she actually preferred the houses in Shi Li Fang Yuan.

…

Weekend.

Lu Lei had arranged to go hiking with Xi Wanlin again.

To avoid suspicion, they didn’t take the same high-speed train but arrived at the mountain lodge one after the other.

After settling into the lodge, they secretly met up.

“Linlin, I’ve missed you so much,” Lu Lei held her and said.

It was cumbersome to carry on an affair during the Spring Festival, and they hadn’t seen each other for a week. Every time he saw her, he was like a wolf that hadn’t eaten for days.

Xi Wanlin was not very pleased, “What good does missing me do?”

“I would die for you.”

“You say that, but you couldn’t even handle that little job for me,” Xi Wanlin said with dissatisfaction.

Lu Lei said, “You also didn’t tell me beforehand that the woman had training. The two I hired were habitual criminals, and they couldn’t even beat a woman, who could expect that?”

“I didn’t know either.” Xi Wanlin had only met Su Meixi a few times, how could she know that Su Meixi was so skilled?

Lu Lei said, “I paid those two in cash, they surely won’t rat us out, and the police won’t trace it back to us either. Don’t worry about it, just let’s not do this kind of thing again in the future.”

Xi Wanlin broke away from him, “But I don’t want to see her in Yun City anymore!”

“If you don’t want to see her, then just avoid her. Linlin, what you’re doing is very dangerous. If you really get caught, your foster parents will dislike you even more, right? By then, even if you threaten to jump off a building, they might not be threatened by you anymore. My advice is for you to look on the bright side and accept that woman’s existence, wouldn’t life be better that way?”

While talking, Lu Lei kissed Xi Wanlin.

Xi Wanlin kissed him back.

She had to admit she was increasingly reliant on him.

After their rendezvous, Xi Wanlin lay in Lu Lei’s arms and said, “I’m having a grand wedding at the end of the month.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Lei suddenly sat up, “A wedding ceremony?”

Xi Wanlin said, “Yes.”

“No way!”

“Why not?”

“You just got your registration done; I could pretend you weren’t married, but once you have the wedding, I’d feel like I’m the other man. Linlin, you can’t do this to me. Don’t you have any feelings for me? Or do you see me only as someone to relieve your distress?”

Xi Wanlin gave him a sidelong glance, “Hasn’t our relationship always been this way? From the day we met, I told you I was married. I really don’t understand what you’re hoping for.”

“You…” Lu Lei asked angrily, “You really want to marry that fat man?”

“Yes!” Xi Wanlin hugged a pillow and went to sleep.

Lu Lei didn’t know what to say and lay down on the bed in a huff.

Then, he saw the contraceptive on the bedside table.
