"Chen Yu, I can't believe you're actually gifting me a car! I'm so happy today!" Bai Ruxue said, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she clung to my arm.
I gave her a calm glance and replied coolly, "It's just a car. If you're planning to stay by my side, don't get too surprised by the things I do. And more importantly… if you want to be one of my women, you better learn how to behave."
Her steps paused for half a second.
"One of his women…?" The words echoed in her mind like thunder.
That meant… there would be others. Was he already interested in Li Meiyun? Probably. She was beautiful and kind—someone even Ruxue had secretly admired.
But she quickly composed herself, clutching my arm tighter, her thoughts running wild.
"So he's that kind of man… Hmph, that's fine. I just need to make sure I'm his number one. If Meiyun is part of his life, I'll get closer to her too—no fights for now. But Chen Yu… I'll make you fall so hard for me that no other girl will matter."
"Of course! I'll make sure never to say or do anything that upsets you again, Chen Yu," she said with a bright smile, trying to sound playful but respectful. "So… where are we going now?"
I glanced at her and replied casually, "Well, we've got new clothes… and a car."
I paused for effect.
"Now it's time to get a villa."
Ruxue's eyes widened instantly. "A… villa?"
I nodded. "We're heading to SilverGate Estates. It's the most premium real estate agency in Tianxu City."
Her jaw almost dropped.
SilverGate Estates? The name alone was legendary. Their villas started at 300 million won. And if Chen Yu was buying one…
"A villa… from SilverGate? That's not just wealth—that's status! Wait… is he buying it just for himself? Or will I be allowed in? Will I get to stay there?"
She forced a calm smile, but her heart was pounding with wild excitement.
"I have to make this day unforgettable for him. I'll make him want me by his side—always. Just wait, Chen Yu… you won't be able to resist me much longer."
She looked up at me, her voice softer than before.
"Chen Yu… you're full of surprises. But don't worry, I'll do everything I can to be worthy of staying with you."
At SilverGate Estates
As I stepped through the grand entrance of SilverGate Estates, the atmosphere immediately screamed luxury. The polished floors reflected the light from the crystal chandeliers above, and the walls were lined with photos of sprawling villas and elite properties.
A sharp-looking man in a suit approached us almost instantly. He had likely noticed the luxury car we pulled up in.
"Good afternoon, sir," the manager greeted with a respectful nod. "Welcome to SilverGate Estates. We offer premium villas, apartments, commercial spaces—whatever you desire. Is there anything specific you're looking for?"
I glanced at Ruxue beside me, then looked the manager straight in the eyes.
"Is there a villa available near Tianxu University?" I asked calmly. "This lady here attends that university with me… and I'm buying the villa for her."
The room fell completely silent.
The receptionist, a nearby assistant, even another couple viewing properties—all turned to look at us in disbelief.
Ruxue's eyes widened. Her lips parted slightly, but no words came out. She looked at me, stunned.
"F-For me?" she whispered, her voice barely audible.
The manager blinked in surprise, then quickly composed himself. "Yes, sir. There is a villa near Tianxu University. However… it's one of our premium listings. The price is—"
I raised a hand slightly, cutting him off.
"I didn't ask for the price," I said, my tone calm but firm. "I said I'm buying it. No matter how much it costs."
The manager straightened up, impressed. "Understood, sir. Shall I prepare the documents now?"
"Yes. And I'll make the full payment right now."
A few moments later, the digital chime of a successful transaction echoed in the room.
"500 million won has been successfully transferred."
Gasps erupted from nearby staff and clients.
"Did he say five hundred million?"
"Who is this guy?"
"Is he some hidden heir or something?"
Ruxue was frozen in place. Her heart pounded as she stared at me in disbelief. Her legs felt weak, her hands slightly trembled.
He bought me a car earlier… now a villa?
How can he… Why would he…
Her heart, which once only chased luxury and reputation, now throbbed for something else—me.
"I don't know how I'll ever repay him… I've never met someone like this," she thought, biting her lip. "Chen Yu… I think I'm really falling for you."
As I turned to sign the final documents, a quiet determination stirred in my mind.
Some women only understand value when it's shown to them. I'll give Ruxue a taste of a life she's never imagined. Build trust… loyalty. And when the time comes—
She'll be mine completely.
After all the paperwork was complete, the manager handed over the keys and bowed politely.
"Congratulations, sir. The villa will be ready for viewing this evening. Would you like us to arrange a welcome setup?"
"No need. Just send me the location. I'll take care of the rest."
As we walked out, Ruxue clutched my arm, her voice a soft whisper.
"Chen Yu… thank you. Really."
I glanced at her, then gave a faint smile. "Don't thank me yet. I told you… if you want to stay by my side, you'll need to be ready for more."
