"Buy what? You, girl, should plan properly. Otherwise, you'll be in for some tough times ahead." "What are you talking about, isn't buying a house necessary to avoid hardship?" Liang Caiming clearly couldn't understand her mother's words and retorted. "Think about it, Xia Liu's family must have money, and selling our little house would only bring in a few tens of thousands. It's better to keep it as your dowry." Liang Caiming was shocked senseless. What did she mean by keeping it as a dowry? That was ridiculous. Xia Liu played dumb on the side; he heard everything. What moved him was that Su Lihua, even though she had nowhere to live, was unwilling to let her daughter spend money on a house. Even so, if Liang Caiming brought several hundred thousand to her marriage, would her in-laws definitely treat her well? Not necessarily; it might be better to buy the house now since its value could increase. "Lady Liang, why don't you come with me to see the house later?" At that moment, Duan Zhengfeng, having calmed everyone's emotions, approached Liang Caiming and suggested. "Yeah, I'll go with you later." "No, you can't go! Caiming, you must listen to your mom this time. If she says no buying, then no buying." Seeing her daughter agree made Su Lihua somewhat angry. "Madam, please don't feel pressured. Our chairman, to show gratitude to Miss Liang, has specially approved gifting her an apartment." "What! A gift?" Liang Caiming and Su Lihua were simultaneously shocked. Earning money is hard these days; an apartment, even at half price, would cost hundreds of thousands, and they were giving it away for free! "Aunt, let's just go have a look later, it's free after all." "Yeah, let's listen to Xia Liu." Xia Liu's words made Su Lihua burst into a happy smile. Just as Liang Caiming was about to speak, three buses appeared in front of them. Everyone rushed to get on the buses. They were all looking forward to their future homes. Xia Liu naturally drove his mother and daughter to the place. The new house wasn't far from there, just a ten-minute drive away. It was a brand-new high-level commercial building. From the outside, it seemed that no one had lived inside yet. According to Duan Zhengfeng, this building hadn't yet been put on the market for sale, although the building next door had already sold out. Everyone eagerly went upstairs to check the rooms, each of them very excited. Su Lihua was also very thrilled, a free house and the support of Xia Liu; it was definitely a keeper. In the end, everyone found a room they were satisfied with, including Su Lihua. However, Su Lihua's room was at least three hundred square meters and didn't cost a dime. Moreover, Duan Zhengfeng said they would install furniture for free the next day. This made Su Lihua even more excited—getting a house and furniture for free, and the neighbors were also living in the same place. Today really was a day of triple happiness: first, her illness was cured; second, her daughter had a boyfriend; third, they were gifted a house. In the evening, everyone went back to the building where they originally lived to have a party. Words could no longer express their surprise; they could only show their gratitude to Liang Caiming and Xia Liu through their actions. Surrounded by everyone, Liang Caiming felt very embarrassed, especially since the remarks were directed at her and Xia Liu. If it were not for the rich darkness of the night, her shyness would definitely have been visible to everyone. At the end of the gathering, since there was not enough room at home, Xia Liu had to leave first. Su Lihua disagreed with him leaving on his own, so she insisted that Liang Caiming must accompany Xia Liu. Now that you are someone's girlfriend, there is no reason to let them go alone. "Mom, what are you doing? You've just recovered from your illness, and I need to stay to take care of you," Liang Caiming became anxious. Her own mother saying this was one thing, but everyone else wanted her to go with Xia Liu too. What would she do if she really went? "Caiming, don't worry, we all know about your mother's health. Tonight, Aunt Xue and I will stay to take care of her," a woman stepped forward to reply. "Rest assured, Caiming, we'll take good care of Lihua. Go ahead with peace of mind." "I'm not leaving. I want to stay with my mom." "Caiming, you can't not go. Think about everything Xia Liu did today; he is counting on you to reciprocate," Su Lihua patiently explained as she saw her daughter keep insisting. "Mom, you're pushing your daughter into a pit of fire…" Though she thought this, Liang Caiming did not refuse again. Under everyone's watchful eyes, she stepped into Xia Liu's car. "Haha, Caiming, where are we staying tonight?" Xia Liu couldn't help but laugh as he saw Liang Caiming's gloomy face. "Laugh your head off. It's all your fault. Otherwise, everyone wouldn't have misunderstood." "What do you mean my fault? It was clearly Duan Zhengfeng who let everyone be mistaken." ... Liang Caiming did not rebuke further. Since she had already been misunderstood by everyone, she might as well continue to be misunderstood. But she couldn't help considering where to spend the night... "Thank you, Xia Liu." Having been silent with her head down all the way, Liang Caiming spoke timidly. "You're welcome. It's what I should have done." What he should have done? Could it be that he had feelings for her? Thinking this, Liang Caiming's palms began to sweat lightly, her face grew redder and redder, even spreading to her neck. "Why is he driving to the hotel? Could it be he wants to..." Suddenly, the glow of neon lights shone into the car, and as Liang Caiming looked up, she was instantly startled. The car was leisurely driving into the grand hotel… She was nervous because she had only just met Xia Liu today. Even if he had shown her kindness, this was too fast. Continue your adventure at empire But she didn't have the heart to refuse; she just hadn't reacted in time yet. "Xia Liu, I'm not ready yet, could we..." After the car had parked, Liang Caiming quietly voiced out. "Hmm? Ready for what?" Xia Liu asked, clueless. "We've only known each other for a day. Isn't this moving a bit fast?" "You might have misunderstood. This hotel is owned by a friend, and staying here costs nothing. Besides, even if that weren't the case, we could get separate rooms..." Xia Liu immediately understood the girl's worries, realizing she was thinking way far ahead about getting a room! "Ah! What are you saying, I can't understand any of it?" Liang Caiming covered her burning hot ears with both hands, her beautiful big eyes blinking continuously, looking utterly adorable. Xia Liu barely held back his laughter as he took her into the elevator, deciding it's probably better not to tease girls casually, or else he might not know what could kill him at night. Before coming to Wanqing Grand Hotel, Xia Liu had given Mo Wanqing a heads-up about today's plans that Duan Zhengfeng had arranged. The public had all credited him with those deeds, and it felt somewhat amiss not to come and express his thanks… The next morning, Liang Caiming got up early; she hadn't rested much last night, her mind filled with images of Xia Liu. She felt as if she had fallen into a trap, struggling but unable to climb out. This trap was set by Xia Liu, so deep, so soft, so warm, that one would get caught without noticing.
