Chapter 177 Taking Liu Ruyan to Buy a House
She walked quickly to Ye Fan, who was sitting in her office chair, and naturally sat in his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck. Her voice was soft and gentle, a quality she only showed in front of him: "Honey~ are you tired?"
Ye Fan casually put his arm around her slender waist and rubbed his chin against the top of her soft hair: "Seeing you makes me feel less tired."
The office was filled with a warm atmosphere. The two snuggled together, whispering and sharing their experiences and feelings, enjoying a rare moment of solitude.
Sunlight streamed through the blinds, bathing the two in a tranquil and intimate scene.
The two spent a whole hour being all lovey-dovey!
......
Around noon, Ye Fan took Liu Ruyan's hand and walked out of the company building: "Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious, and then we'll take care of something important."
The two drove to a highly-rated Huaiyang cuisine restaurant.
Braised lion's head meatballs, braised shredded tofu, soft-shelled eel, Wensi tofu soup... these exquisite dishes soothed my stomach after a busy morning.
During the meal, Ye Fan brought up the topic: "I happen to be free this afternoon, how about I take you to see some apartments? We can't keep staying in hotels or at the office, can we?"
Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with anticipation.
A true "home" that belongs to them is of great significance to her.
After dinner, Ye Fan drove Liu Ruyan to a high-end residential area not far from the core area of Hexi CBD.
This location boasts unobstructed river views and is truly a prime location.
They entered the luxury sales center of a top domestic real estate company.
The enormous sand table model, the mirror-like marble floor, the soft lighting, and the subtle fragrance all highlight the positioning of this place.
A sales consultant, dressed in a well-fitting business suit and with impeccable makeup, immediately greeted us with a professional smile: "Good afternoon, sir and madam. Welcome to 'Riverside Residence'. Is this your first visit? What type of apartment are you looking to see?"
Ye Fan succinctly stated: "A large single-level apartment or a top-floor duplex, with a large area, a good view, fully furnished, and ready to move in."
The sales consultant's smile grew even warmer; this was a truly important client!
"Okay, sir! Our project happens to have several main units for sale, including large single-level apartments and duplexes, all with unobstructed 360-degree river views! Please come with me to the model, and I will give you a detailed introduction."
The sales consultant eloquently introduced the location advantages, brand value, and high-end decoration standards.
Ye Fan listened, but his main gaze was on Liu Ruyan. He said in a low voice, "You can choose whichever one you like."
Liu Ruyan listened attentively to the introduction, her eyes carefully searching the sand table model.
The sales consultant, observing the students' expressions, immediately highlighted a large, southeast-facing penthouse on the 32nd floor: "This is one of our flagship units, with a floor area of 280 square meters. It features four bedrooms, three bathrooms, three balconies, two master suites, and 270-degree curved floor-to-ceiling windows facing Jiangxinzhou Island and the main channel of the Yangtze River—the view is unparalleled! It's delivered fully furnished with top international brands, with meticulous attention to detail. The model unit is upstairs; would you two like to go up and experience it for yourselves?"
Liu Ruyan looked at Ye Fan, who nodded: "Let's go take a look."
The elevator goes directly to the 32th floor.
As soon as the door to the show flat opened, even Ye Fan and Liu Ruyan, who had seen the world, were slightly shocked by the scene before them.
The expansive living room connects to a wide-view balcony, where the magnificent view of the Yangtze River unfolds like a giant scroll before your eyes. Sunlight pours in unreservedly, illuminating every exquisite detail of the space: imported Italian slab flooring, a German-brand kitchen and bathroom system, a smart home control panel, and stylish lighting fixtures...
Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up instantly.
She held Ye Fan's hand and looked through the rooms one by one.
The spacious master bedroom features a walk-in closet and an extra-large bathroom with a view; the study is quiet and elegant; the second bedroom is warm and comfortable; and the guest bathroom is meticulously designed.
She especially loved the huge curved balcony that connected to the living room, imagining the two of them snuggling there at dusk, watching the boats dotting the river and the city lights coming on.
"Honey...this...is really amazing." Liu Ruyan's voice was filled with dreamy excitement, and her eyes were full of love as she looked at Ye Fan.
Seeing her genuine affection, Ye Fan had already made up his mind.
He asked the sales consultant directly, "What's the price of this set?"
The sales consultant was overjoyed, but maintained his professional demeanor: "Sir, this rare penthouse unit in our project is currently priced at 980 million. It's because the floor, orientation, and view are all top-notch..."
980 million! In 2014, that was an astronomical figure!
Liu Ruyan instinctively tightened her grip on Ye Fan's hand.
Ye Fan's face remained expressionless; he simply nodded and then turned to Liu Ruyan: "Do you like it? If you like it, then you'll take it?"
"I love it! But... this... is too expensive..." Liu Ruyan said softly. Although she knew Ye Fan was rich, the house, which cost nearly ten million, still made her heart race.
Ye Fan smiled and ruffled her hair: "What matters most is that you like it."
Without further hesitation, he told the sales consultant decisively, "This is it. Full payment. Can we complete the paperwork now?"
Full payment?
The sales consultant's professional smile instantly turned to shock and disbelief, then was overwhelmed by immense joy, his voice trembling slightly: "B-yes! This way, sir! I'll prepare the contract for you right away! You have such excellent taste!"
Her attitude instantly became even more respectful, even showing a hint of awe.
She stole a glance at the car keys Ye Fan had placed on the table—the Ferrari logo gleamed under the light.
Ye Fan hadn't driven this car for a while; recently he'd been driving Xiang Hao's Audi, while Liu Ruyan had been driving the Ferrari.
For the next hour, in the VIP room, Liu Ruyan felt like she was dreaming.
Liu Ruyan signed her name on the thick stack of contracts, and the finance staff quickly processed the transfer.
When nearly ten million yuan was transferred away and replaced with a bright red "Pre-sale Contract for Commercial Housing", Liu Ruyan held it tightly. She felt that she was not only holding a house, but also Ye Fan's weighty promise and a bright future within reach.
Their "nest" will soon be built on the riverbank of this bustling city.
As Liu Ruyan walked out of the glittering sales center, the surreal feeling of signing a multi-million dollar contract still lingered in her mind. The contract documents she held tightly in her hand felt heavy, as if she were holding the future she had chosen.
Ye Fan opened the car door, looked at the still somewhat dazed Liu Ruyan, and chuckled as he pinched her cheek: "Snap out of it, Ms. Liu. The house's bought, now it's time to make it our home. Let's go get some supplies!"
