A perfect life begins with changing the timeline.

After lunch, the couple took Li Mu to visit the properties they had been looking at over the past few days.

It has to be admitted that Yanjing has developed very quickly.

Since the successful bid for the Olympics, things seem to be changing every day.

High-end residential projects are also increasingly gravitating towards the Asian Games Village and even the Olympic venues. Some developers have even started offering free tickets to homeowners.

Li Mu followed along, praising each property he saw. He thought every single one was great and never said anything like, "Uncle, Auntie, this house isn't very good."

After visiting four different properties, it was already evening.

Fan Tao insisted on going to buy groceries and cooking something new, but Li Mu wouldn't allow it. Instead, he used the leftovers from lunch, fried an egg, and then they drank half a jin of liquor together.

Then, he didn't leave...

He had already booked a room at the Kempinski, but the couple wouldn't let him leave and instead told him to go to the master bedroom to sleep.

The couple found it simple: Xiao Li said he wanted to buy a house for their wedding, and their daughter agreed.

Doesn't that mean the proposal was successful?

Although they haven't met Xiao Li's parents yet, it would be a bit unreasonable to make them come all the way from afar and then be ushered to a hotel.

That evening, he chatted with his girlfriend, who had greeted him with a good morning, about those high-end properties, but they didn't come to any conclusions. He could also sense that his girlfriend seemed to have some "regret," feeling that the 12 million yuan property was simply too expensive.

Some people are having second thoughts.

But the more he thought about it, the more he wanted to see for himself what made a house costing 40,000 yuan per square meter, such an astronomical figure, so expensive.

What's more, she genuinely likes him.

Since you like it, I'll go take a look.

With the simplest and most unassuming thoughts in mind, he went straight to sleep.

Then on Sunday morning, after visiting the remaining two properties with the couple, he lied and said he was "going to meet someone and then going to the airport," and left alone with his luggage.

They didn't let Fan Tao deliver them.

As the elevator doors closed, Fan Tao watched the elevator begin to descend and said to his wife:

"I reckon Xiao Li went to see Gongyuan No. 6."

"Um."

Zhang Chuanmei nodded as well:

"But we definitely can't let him buy it. Our daughter's demands are too high. The house alone costs over ten million. What will the two of them do when they get married? Xiao Li's money doesn't come from thin air."

"Ugh."

The old father sighed helplessly as he thought of his troublesome daughter.

The two of them have actually been observing for the past two days.

Observe Xiao Li's reaction.

Even though the child never mentioned the house again, he didn't seem to fall in love with any of the properties he looked at.

I'm afraid he's really fallen under his daughter's spell.

"What time is it where your daughter is?"

"It's already past midnight, time to go to bed."

"...That brat! I really need to have a talk with her when she wakes up. How can you spend money like that? What will she do if Xiao Li actually buys it?"

Hearing her husband's words, Zhang Chuanmei's thoughts were quite simple:

"We'll cover the renovation costs."

Fan Tao was speechless, thinking to himself, "Isn't this just stating the obvious?"

But the more he did this, the more upset he became, because No. 6 Gongyuan was a fully furnished apartment.

While it's not exactly move-in ready, they've provided everything you need. You can move in right away after buying the appliances and such.

How much should the interior decoration cost to match a house worth over ten million?

Sure enough, it was all that brat's fault!

"When I get back, I'll break her legs!"

The old father gave a cold snort.

Across thousands of miles, the sleeping superstar shivered.

……

Just as the two had predicted, Li Mu dragged his luggage, took a taxi, and headed straight for Gongyuan No. 6.

He paid close attention to the geographical location throughout the journey.

Admittedly, this place is indeed not far from the long street, and quite conspicuous, because there are regulations on the buildings on both sides of the long street that they cannot be higher than a certain height... But since it's across the street, it doesn't matter. So, three lonely buildings standing out on this road are quite eye-catching.

But it does look quite ordinary.

After getting off the bus with his luggage, Li Mu headed straight for the sales office built in the residential area.

Admittedly, you get what you pay for. When Li Mu came over with his suitcase and explained that he was there to see the apartment, his luggage was immediately taken care of, and then he went straight to the apartment building led by one salesperson and two assistants.

As it turns out, Xiao Fan was just talking nonsense.

Her claim that you can "see the Forbidden City" is pure nonsense.

No matter how high this place is, you can't see anything... well, no, you should say you can see a little bit.

After all, the salesperson pointed in the direction of the Forbidden City and said, "That's it over there," but Old Li looked for a long time and still couldn't find it. Where exactly was the Forbidden City?

That's incredibly far-fetched.

However, it must be admitted that the location is indeed excellent, right next to the Yanjing International Hotel, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the Municipal Procuratorate, and the General Administration of Customs, and next to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. It's also not far from Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and there's a Harmony Family Pharmacy nearby. Listening to the salesperson's historical account, I discovered that this place was indeed once a place for scholars to take the imperial examinations, a gathering place of literary talent since ancient times…

Fine.

The location is alright.

As for the house layout, it's alright.

It's said to be 300 square meters, but it's a duplex. If you include all the living space, it's over 500 square meters.

However… Li Mu still wasn't entirely satisfied. He felt the landscaping wasn't great, and besides, there were only three buildings, including an office building… it might end up being a mess in the future.

While he was pondering this, the salesperson asked him a question:

"Mr. Li, if I may ask, what are our needs for buying this house?"

Li Mu casually replied:

"To be used as a wedding room."

"Ah, that's perfect. Mr. Li, this place has been blessed by the God of Literature since ancient times. After you get married and have children, they will definitely be very smart."

Sometimes...

It must be admitted that in sales, as long as you can accurately identify the needs of users, you are almost invincible.

Li Mu wasn't really interested in this house, feeling that it didn't have any significant advantages compared to the other high-end properties he had looked at before.

But the salesperson's words hit Old Li right where it hurt.

He was originally considering things like "appreciation potential," but after hearing this, he immediately stopped thinking about it.

Instead, it asked a very insightful question:

"Don't people say that the Imperial College is where the stars of literature gather? Where is that place?"

The salesperson was taken aback for a moment, then replied:

"It's in the northeast of the Forbidden City, near Ditan Park. It's in a much worse location than ours, Mr. Li. We're inside Jianguomen..."

Li Mu didn't hear what was said after that.

He knew about Ditan Park, but it was too far away.

Well... never mind.

He looked around the house:

"This set will do."

I bought it.

Anyway, she likes it.

Moreover, this is supposedly a place with a rich literary atmosphere. If we really have children in the future... People say that children easily inherit their mother's intelligence, so obviously the child's innate intelligence is somewhat lacking. We'll have to quickly make up for it later.

After all... growing up, Li Mu had never known what it meant to "fall out of the top ten," let alone "become number one."

Good heavens.

How was the exam conducted?

Even if you just throw the test paper on the ground, close your eyes, and stomp on it, you can still get a 60.

That woman's mind is absolutely terrifying!

……

"Mr. Li, now we just need to wait for the bank's approval..."

"Uh-huh."

Around 4 p.m., Li Mu responded and got into a taxi.

"Then contact me when the time comes, I'm leaving now."

"OK……"

Li Mu left with a respectful bow from the salesperson.

The taxi driver also turned his head curiously to look at Li Mu before asking:

"Hey buddy, where are you going?"

"Airport."

"Alright."

He had originally wanted to say a few words to Li Mu and ask why those men in suits had been bowing and scraping to him, but when he saw Li Mu looking down at his phone, he lost interest in speaking.

Meanwhile, Li Mu was editing a text message for his girlfriend:

"I bought the house, No. 6 Gongyuan, the one over 300 square meters. The loan needs approval, but it's with Guangfa Bank, so it should be approved in the next day or two. I'll come to sign the contract next week. It's a deal, this is our wedding house, whoever goes back on their word is a coward!"

Fan Bingbing did not reply.

She's sleeping soundly.

When she woke up and saw her boyfriend's message, she was immediately startled!

You bought it already?

She quickly tried to call him, but found that his phone was switched off.

Clearly, they were still on the plane and hadn't disembarked yet.

Ah this...

Fine.

For some reason, she was in a great mood, and after thinking about it for a moment, she decided to show off to her parents.

Hey Mom and Dad, see how much Li Mu loves me?

They don't even hesitate to spend money on me.

If I like it, he'll buy it for me!

With this thought in mind, she immediately dialed her mother's number:

"Beep beep... Hey, shh, it's your sister... Sister! Sister!... Fan Chengcheng! Lie down right now, you have school tomorrow... What are you doing? Spit it out!"

Hearing the commotion from home, Xiao Fan pursed his lips, thinking to himself, "This kid is really noisy."

So I'll keep it short:

"Mom, Li Mu bought that house. Hehe, I just wanted to let you know."

"...Sister, sister!"

There was an instant silence on the other end of the phone.

Only Fan Chengcheng remained making noise.

"Hey, Chengcheng, let Mommy answer the phone, Chengcheng, be a good girl."

Xiao Fan was comforting her younger brother when she heard his voice getting softer and softer until she couldn't hear it anymore.

After about two or three seconds, my mother's voice rang out:

"Old Fan, Xiao Li bought the house... No. 6 Gongyuan. What?! Really bought it! He bought it outright?!... Yes, that's what your daughter said. Here, you can talk to her.... Give me the phone!!!"

?

When he heard his father's somewhat exasperated voice, Xiao Fan instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Before I could think it through, my dad's voice erupted like a volcano:

"You bastard! How can you be so dishonest?! Huh?! You...you actually bought it?!"

"Uh... um."

Her subconscious response.

then……

next second...

"...Fine, fine! Fan Bingbing, you've got some nerve! You just wait and see! You wait, I'll break your legs before I say a word! You just wait and see!"

Bad.

Oh no!
