Chapter 15 Popular Instagrammable Spots

Moreover, many gardening professionals were hired when redesigning and renovating this courtyard house.

At this time of year, the climbing rose bushes by the door are in full bloom. The Juliet variety is a classic Austin cut rose, and its beauty is considered top-tier in the entire rose world. The flower color is beautiful and gentle, with white outer petals and an apricot-yellow center. The flowers are very large.

The gardener hired by the Meng family planted the Juliet variety exceptionally well. The area above the gate, which was about five or six meters wide, was almost entirely covered by these large bowl flowers, extending to the walls on both sides, forming a flower wall about ten meters long, which attracted a lot of attention.

Meng Weiyuan never expected that, just as You Sijia opened the door, she bumped into a group of tourists taking photos in front of their house.

The two had already left the alley, while the group of people who had been taking pictures at the entrance were still in shock.

"The door just opened..."

"I'm not blind, I saw it."

"My god, there are actually people living here! Who is this big shot? Even the cheapest courtyard houses around here would cost tens of millions, right?"

"Be bold! Do you think this courtyard house looks like a typical courtyard house? It's the only one on this half-street. How can it be compared to a crowded tenement?"

The group huddled together, their faces filled with shock.

“The bloggers who checked in online before didn’t say that anyone actually lives inside! Didn’t people even livestream from the door? And we never heard of the owner coming to kick people out?” one of the tall young women said.

The girl taking a picture with her covered her face. "The girl who came out from inside didn't say anything either. She seemed just as shocked as we were. Her surprised little expression... oh my god, why do I think she's kind of cute?"

Holding the camera, the boy who had just taken photos of the two girls looked at the pictures and said, "It should be allowed to take photos. You can see there are seven or eight security cameras at the entrance. If taking photos to check in wasn't allowed, someone would have come out to stop them long ago."

Yu Sijia was unaware that she was still being talked about. She was sitting in a quaint courtyard house, stirring her swallow's nest soup. She looked at Meng Weiyuan with some surprise and repeated what the man had just said, "Are you coming with me to the Forbidden City this afternoon? But isn't it still during that summit? Can you get away?"

Meng Weiyuan: "It's okay."

Even though he didn't have time, he made sure to make time to be by her side when his fiancée came to Beijing for the first time.

"Never mind, how about I go to the summit with you?" Yusjia said.

Meng Weiyuan: "Hmm?" He was somewhat surprised. "The summit might be boring."

“But the sun is very strong outside now, and I don’t like it.” Yusjia regretted it. Although it wasn’t far from Sixi Courtyard, walking a few extra steps in the summer still made her feel very uncomfortable. She didn’t like the sticky feeling all over her body.

Meng Weiyuan chuckled.

However, he didn't actually let Yuska go to the summit with him.

“You can rest at home this afternoon. I’ll pick you up after sunset. I’ll take you to see the night view of Beijing tonight; it’s not as hot as during the day,” Meng Weiyuan said.

Yu Sijia naturally preferred to stay at home. If it weren't for the fact that her parents had already arranged with the Meng family last week for her to come to Beijing to see the new house, she would never have gone out in July or August.

but……

"Are you resting at home?" Yusja asked hesitantly.

Their home was naturally a bridal chamber in a hutong (traditional alleyway).

Meng Weiyuan nodded, as if he could see her concerns, "It's all in your name, so it's your home. Sixi Courtyard has everything, so it'll be very convenient for you to stay here. I usually live in an apartment near the company, and I'll move here after the wedding."

Yuska's face instantly turned bright red. When did she ever ask this man when he was moving in?!

But looking at Meng Weiyuan's serious expression, You Sijia felt that she was overthinking things.

She tried her best to banish the thought of "sleeping in the same bed with this man in the future" from her mind, and nodded dryly, "Oh, I understand."

She felt that there was no need for Meng Weiyuan to report this to her.

“Actually, after we get married, if it’s convenient for you to live near the company, you don’t need to come over,” Yusjia said softly.

She felt that she was acting out of kindness.

However, as soon as Yuska finished speaking, she felt a deep and undeniable gaze upon her.

Yu Sijia looked up and met Meng Weiyuan's dark eyes.

Meng Weiyuan was different from the men she had met before. Although her father, You Saide, was the chairman of a bank, or Gu Yu, who had been in charge of many big cases worth billions, they were all in high positions, but no one had ever looked at her with such a cold and domineering gaze.

Yuska's heart skipped a beat. Unwilling to admit defeat, she asked, "Is there a problem?"

She felt that what she had just said was from Meng Weiyuan's perspective.

Meng Weiyuan: "At the beginning of the marriage, I never thought it would be a marriage of convenience."

Yustia: "..."

“The head of the Meng Group needs to be married to maintain the group’s reputation, but for me personally, marriage cannot be just a formality.” As Meng Weiyuan spoke, his attention was fixed on You Sijia. He seemed to sense the tension in her voice, and at that moment, his tone softened slightly, sounding less harsh than before. However, the meaning behind Meng Weiyuan's words remained unyielding.

"My bottom line is that both parties must be faithful to the marriage." Meng Weiyuan slowly completed his last sentence.

The Meng family had strict rules, forbidding its members from engaging in illicit relationships with men or women outside the family.

Firstly, it's a matter of poor conduct, and secondly, it damages the group's reputation.

Therefore, if any member of the Meng family has a scandal involving romantic relationships, it could affect their year-end bonuses or even their equity.

As the next head of the Meng family, or rather, as the de facto head of the Meng family now, Meng Weiyuan is even less likely to make a fool of himself through momentary indulgence. Similarly, Meng Weiyuan does not want his wife to have any improper thoughts in this regard.

After saying this, Meng Weiyuan's gaze was fixed firmly on You Sijia.

One sentence echoed in Yustia's mind—

"Marriage should not be a marriage in name only."

Yu Sijia couldn't help but wonder, what exactly did Meng Weiyuan mean by saying this?
Even though it's not a marriage in name only, there are naturally requirements for her, as the wife, to fulfill the obligations between husband and wife.
This includes married life.

The blush on You Sijia's face gradually rose and spread, and she deliberately avoided Meng Weiyuan's gaze.

At this moment, that oppressive gaze had somehow taken a turn for the worse.
