Riverside Villa

After bidding farewell to Auntie Zhao, Ling Yun brought Qianqian to Purple Cloud Imperial County Jiangbei Company, a nationally renowned real estate company. Purple Cloud Imperial County was the number one real estate giant in the country.

He had chosen Purple Cloud Imperial County because one of their villa developments was located on the outskirts of Jiangbei City, very close to his mother's school.

He had found that information on his phone that morning, and his divine sense had confirmed that it truly was the best place in Jiangbei City.

Qianqian saw so many people inside, as well as plenty of beautiful aunties, and did not understand why her father had brought her here.

"Daddy, what are we doing here?"

"Daddy has drifted through Jiangbei for more than two years. It's time to settle down, so we came here to buy a house, so Qianqian can have enough room to play," Ling Yun answered.

The little one's eyes immediately lit up when she heard that they could live in a big house. The rental's conditions were poor, and it was far too small.

Chen Li had been having terrible luck lately. She had not closed a single deal.

"Little Li, stop spacing out. Look at you—you haven't made any sales this month. If you ask me, you should just agree to President Wang's request and have a meal with him. You're making me anxious just watching you."

"Sister Fen, stop it. I'm not going to have dinner with him."

Ling Yun entered with Qianqian perched on his shoulders and a miniature Little Dharma Hound at his left side. Ling Yun was the tall, handsome type; even a simple T-shirt and jeans made him stand out.

With a dainty, doll-like Little Princess on his shoulders, the father and daughter's looks drew plenty of attention. Whispers drifted endlessly into Ling Yun's ears.

Chen Li also glanced at Ling Yun. Of course, she was not swooning over him. He gave her a familiar feeling, as though she had seen him somewhere before.

"Sister Fen, I'm going to greet him." With that, Chen Li headed toward the lobby.

Sister Fen sighed. "That girl." The handsome guy did look rather good, but he did not seem like someone who could afford a house.

Chen Li said to Ling Yun, "Hello, sir. Are you here to look at houses?"

Ling Yun's Great Emperor memories were incredibly sharp. At a glance, he recognized Chen Li as his university classmate. He had not expected to run into an acquaintance here, and found it strange that Chen Li had become a salesperson. It was clearly not her field of study.

"Chen Li, why are you here?"

"Ah? Who are you? How do you know my name?" Chen Li asked in surprise.

"I'm your university classmate, Ling Yun. Classmate Chen, you're such an important person that you forget old friends." Ling Yun put on a heartbroken expression as he spoke, even thumping his chest with his hand.

Chen Li studied him carefully, then reached out and pinched his face. "You really are Ling Yun? How come I never noticed before that you were so fair and handsome, with such nice skin too?"

"..."

"Qianqian, say hello to Auntie. Auntie is Daddy's classmate," Ling Yun said to Qianqian.

"H-Hello, Auntie."

Chen Li was utterly shocked. She had never expected Ling Yun to have a two-year-old daughter.

And she was so adorable. Chen Li rose onto her tiptoes and reached over to stroke her head. "Hello, little friend. What's your name?"

The little one had not spoken with strangers in a long time. She looked a little shy and could not get the words out for a moment.

Chen Li giggled teasingly. "Hehe."

Seeing that Qianqian could not respond, Ling Yun said, "Just call her Qianqian. No need to be formal with us, haha."

"Why did you come here?"

In Chen Li's memory, this classmate of hers had not been a rich second-generation heir, and his grades had been average as well.

"I'm not here to look at houses," Ling Yun answered.

Chen Li was not surprised at all, but just as she was about to ask, Ling Yun's next words stunned her.

"I'm here to buy a house."

"What?!"

"I'm saying, you don't need to make such a fuss, do you? Do I look like I can't afford a house?"

"Not just look like it."

"That's more like it."

"Yes, exactly like it."

"..."

Ling Yun's face darkened.
