Chapter 515 - 337: Having a Baby?
"Miss Huang, Mr. Li, you’ve arrived."
When Li Peifeng and Tianxuan entered the Vacheron Constantin store hand in hand, a female staff member immediately approached them with enthusiasm and led them to a display case in the center of the store.
"This is the Patrimony series tourbillon watch you ordered, with an in-house 3200 caliber movement, manually wound, consisting of 292 parts and 39 jewels. It has a power reserve of 65 hours. The case is made of 18K 5N pink gold, the display uses sapphire crystal glass, and it is water-resistant up to 30 meters..."
"Take it out and try it on."
"You help me put it on."
Li Peifeng made the request, and Tianxuan compliantly put the watch on him, complimenting it modestly, and then, under the guidance of the female staff, proceeded to pay the remaining balance.
[Tianxuan’s gift valued at 1,570,000 yuan, rewards thirty-one chances to draw a prize...]
Li Peifeng put on the Vacheron Constantin watch and saw with his own eyes the most draw chances in history secured in his account. With a great relief in his heart, he didn’t have time to draw a prize before he and Tianxuan walked out of the mall, heading to the battlefield to meet Tianxuan’s family!
...
"Have we arrived?"
"Yes."
The Rolls-Royce had already driven into the Jiangnan Area community in the main city of Hangzhou, situated beside the Grand Canal. That’s right, the canal initially built during the Spring and Autumn period. Emperor Yang of Sui exhausted a million laborers to build it, laying the foundation for the Sui Dynasty’s downfall.
However, this also made the Grand Canal the longest and most extensive ancient canal in the world, as well as the oldest.
Given its deep historical roots, the real estate developed beside the canal is naturally exceptional.
’Jiangnan Area’ remains the top luxury residential area in Hangzhou at 150,000 yuan per square meter, touted as the pinnacle of traditional Chinese courtyard living when it opened. The community houses just 76 units, each a standalone traditional Chinese courtyard villa with pink walls and black tiles, decorative beams, and painted eaves, complete with a front and back garden of about a hundred square meters. The developer reportedly modeled the design and orientation on the residence of the famous Qing Dynasty merchant, Hu Xueyan, integrating modern living concepts.
The community boasts a 30% greenery rate, with its own park, rock gardens, and streams, laid out in a classic Jiangnan garden style. The staggered architecture, interwoven alleyways, and the serene atmosphere created by the flying eaves, understated white walls, black tiles, pavilions, and traditional Chinese window patterns offer a unique Jiangnan charm, exuding poetic elegance.
Spring flowers and autumn moons light the courtyard; summer lotuses and winter snows echo with swallows. Even though it’s currently winter, Li Peifeng felt the same charm from the surrounding plants and trees. The last time he felt this way was when visiting the national 5A-level tourist attraction, the Humble Administrator’s Garden, and now, he felt it again in a private residence...
What kind of landlord is this?!
"Not bad, like stepping back to ancient times. Living here, I would at least be a rank-five official, and not riding or in a sedan chair on the streets would seem out of place."
Li Peifeng joked quietly to Tianxuan, "But in summer, aren’t the mosquitoes here quite numerous? Centipedes, cockroaches, and crickets crawling around?"
Tianxuan shot him a look, "The property fees here for two years are enough to buy you another watch. There are no such problems you’re talking about. Also, I remind you, in front of my parents, don’t act so ignorant, okay?"
Li Peifeng frowned, "Buying a watch? What watch? Are you buying me another one? I don’t think that’s good... How about you give me a house in the Capital instead, a large flat of over 300 square meters will do, as I’m not used to living in these traditional Chinese villas."
Perhaps because they were about to enter the house, Tianxuan seemed a bit nervous and did not respond to Li Peifeng’s joke, simply taking his hand.
"Let’s get out."
[Huang Mansion]
The three of them emerged from the underground parking and arrived at a large mansion. Above the wide beam doors, there was a plaque bearing the family name. Inside the wide-open doors stood a middle-aged man in a suit who seemed to have been waiting for them for some time. Seeing them approach, he quickly trotted over to greet them.
"Eldest Miss, Young Master Huang."
"Hmm, take this for me."
Huang Haoye nodded as a form of greeting and then handed the gift bag in his hand over.
"Mr. Li, may I take yours as well? I’ll hold it for you."
Who are you?
Li Peifeng was slightly puzzled, but then heard Tianxuan say, "Brother Ye, my parents’ steward, give it to him."
"Okay, much appreciated."
Understanding now, Li Peifeng handed over the gift bag and followed Tianxuan forward, walking through a corridor over a lake to reach the main house’s entrance hall.
"Eldest Miss..."
A nanny waited in the entranceway, and upon seeing them, immediately produced slippers for them to change into, following by sanitizing their original shoes. Watching this, Li Peifeng thought to himself whether he should take a bath or burn incense, or perhaps scan a code to enter?
"Mom, Dad, we’re back."
After changing their shoes and passing through the entranceway, they entered the foyer, their view immediately expanding. The interior decoration differed from the exterior’s traditional style, opting for a modern design. The main color tones of white and light yellow were clean, tidy, and both relaxing and cozy.
"Hmm, have a seat."
A main seat was vacant among three rows of large sofas, while the other two rows seated three people. The couple directly facing the door, bearing a resemblance to Tianxuan, were undoubtedly her parents.
Her mother, Gina, stood as a sign of welcome upon Li Peifeng’s entry, giving him a once-over with a smiling, appraising gaze.
Her father, Huang Jianzhong, also slightly rose upon seeing them and waved towards another nanny in the dining room, "Xiaozheng, come change for a new pot of tea."
