"So none of you have to work?"
After a short wait, Xixi came downstairs and opened the door.
Following her into the not-so-spacious living room, Fu Qian couldn't help envying the relaxed lifestyle of the rich.
When she mentioned her humble abode, his first thought was that she'd probably just bought the place outright.
"Sorry, you're right. I don't."
Faced with Fu Qian's unusual point of interest, Xixi actually apologized sincerely.
"I liked this place when I first came here. I thought it'd be convenient to come back, so I had someone buy a place for me to stay."
After looking around, she confirmed his earlier guess.
She didn't seem at all uneasy about being alone at midnight, and casually shut the door behind them.
So it was true. Had he just contributed to Lin City's real estate market?
With his guess confirmed, Fu Qian made no effort to hide the feeling in his voice.
"So should I be honored on Lin City's behalf?"
"No need. I've always had this habit."
Xixi shook her head.
Buying a place to stay whenever she visited somewhere?
What a freewheeling lifestyle. No wonder she could afford so many collectibles.
Seeing Lady Xixi say it so casually, as if she'd just gone out to buy a pancake because she was hungry, Fu Qian's first thought was that, as her consultant, he ought to get her to reimburse him for a few more work outfits.
"So this is the interesting thing you mentioned?"
In the end, though, he didn't let such mundane matters weigh on him. After settling down comfortably, Fu Qian gestured at her head.
"Yeah. After I got back, I suddenly made a new discovery."
Xixi was just as straightforward. She took the crown off her head and handed it to him.
