Chapter 228: Going with the flow
Jin Chu personally collected the two property deeds, and couldn't help but feel a greater sense of belonging.
From today onwards, the three brothers will finally have a house in Youyun City in the northern border that truly belongs to them!
Before she left, she had sent someone to inform her third brother, so he should be here by now.
Jin Chu pushed open the window and glanced outside casually, then her eyes fixed on the street not far away.
Ye Jinxuan took the lead and walked in front, followed closely by Huanyan holding Zhao'er's hand. The young man would stop from time to time to wait for the two people behind him. From a distance, they looked like a family of three out and about, close and natural.
Jin Chu pursed his lips and smiled, with more thoughts in his mind.
After a while, footsteps were heard outside the door. Jinchu stood up and opened the door. Zhaoer's joyful voice rang out: "Sister!"
After letting everyone into the house, Jin Chu took out the two deeds with his own name on them and said, "Since you insist on using my name, I won't refuse. But this house is indeed a gift from my sister, so don't refuse it. Find a suitable time and you can move in first!"
Ye Jinxuan naturally wouldn't refuse his sister's kindness. He nodded, but a little doubt welled up in his heart. Xiaochu was talking about you, not you.
Someone asked for him, "Sister, isn't it just brother who's moving in? Why are we the ones moving in? Aren't Sister Huanyan and I going to live in the palace with you soon?"
Although Huanyan didn't say anything, she widened her eyes, waiting for Jinchu to come and explain.
Glancing at the three of them calmly, Jin Chu smiled and said, "Yesterday I went to Man Cui Xuan to check. Perhaps because it's been vacant recently and is close to the waterside pavilion, the room has been damp. It's not convenient for you and Zhao Er to move in right now."
"That's it!"
Huanyan's face showed a look of disappointment and relief, and then her gaze quickly turned to Ye Jinxuan, but she saw that he was just sitting quietly without saying a word.
"Yes, I originally wanted to bring you into the mansion first, but now that we have this house, why don't you move in with your brother first? The house is not small, and it feels empty for your brother to live alone. He is new here, so it will be more lively if you two move in."
Having said that, Jin Chu turned his gaze to Huan Yan. "Brother is a man after all, and he's certainly not good at things related to the inner house. Huan Yan, you're a careful person, so why don't you take advantage of this time to help brother select a few servants and supervise them to tidy up the house. This way, it will be more comfortable for us to live in."
Seeing that Huanyan was already interested, Jinchu coaxed Zhaoer: "How about you follow Sister Huanyan and Brother to live in your new house?"
"What if I miss my sister?" Zhao'er asked hesitantly.
It doesn't matter whether he lives in the palace or the newly purchased house. He likes his brother and wants to see his sister, and this is the most difficult thing for the little guy.
"It's not that difficult. Our new house is only a quarter of an hour away from the palace. If you miss me, you can come and see me anytime. Or I can come and see Zhao'er every few days."
"Okay, then Zhao'er will follow brother to live in the new house."
As soon as Zhao'er finished speaking, Huanyan showed a thoughtful expression.
My sister has always been prudent. Since she had said that she could bring Zhao'er to live in the palace, why did you suddenly change your mind?
Glancing at the young man who was drinking tea with his eyes lowered, Huanyan's heart moved. Could it be that she was overthinking it? Was her sister really taking care of her brother who came from afar?
Her thoughts were a little confused, she shook her head and thought: Since her sister wants her to stay for a while, then she should take care of her brother on behalf of her sister!
So she nodded seriously to Jin Chu.
After Huanyan and Zhao'er were taken care of, Jinchu looked at Ye Jinxuan meaningfully and said, "Brother, the days before the New Year are for you to rest. You won't have such a leisurely life after the New Year! If you need anyone during this period, let Huanyan accompany you to buy it."
"Don't underestimate her because she's just a woman. She's much more familiar with Youyun City than you are. Besides, our Huanyan is very good at doing business and does things neatly and efficiently. It's very convenient for you to have her around!"
Huanyan blushed slightly and waved her hands at Jinchu: "Sister, please stop using empty words to boost my prestige. The Third Young Master is very discerning and wise. It's good enough that he doesn't look down on my clumsiness."
"Xiaochu is right. You are indeed careful and thoughtful, and act prudently. I am a rough man, so I will have to trouble you a lot with the affairs of the mansion in the future!"
Ye Jinxuan, who had been sitting and drinking tea, stood up and bowed to Huanyan seriously.
Huanyan's face turned even redder, and she quickly turned away, "Third Young Master, you are so polite!"
Jin Chu smiled and said, "Huan Yan is too polite. We are all family. Why call me Third Young Master? Just follow Zhao Er and I and call me brother."
Huanyan was stunned, but did not say anything to refuse.
Ye Jinxuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Jinchu. The brother and sister exchanged a knowing look.
Before leaving, Jinchu whispered to Ye Jinxuan, "This is all I can do for you. Huanyan is a good girl, please cherish her."
"Don't worry, sister. If she doesn't want to, I won't force her." Ye Jinxuan replied seriously.
Jin Chu nodded, then turned around and got on the carriage.
When I returned to the palace, it was already the beginning of the afternoon.
She was busy all afternoon, and it was not until she saw Su Cheng'an that she realized she had forgotten about him.
"Ajin's smile is bright, it must mean that the matter has been accomplished!"
Jin Chu looked at the young man sitting at the table, who couldn't help but smile slightly, and clearly felt the more obvious joy in him.
Jin Chu was very sure that this joy was not caused by getting the house deed for her. Su Chengan must have had something good happen to him.
So, she looked at the young man again and asked in a firm tone, "Tell me! What better good thing has happened to the prince?"
Su Cheng'an's smile froze slightly, and he asked, "Can't I be happy for Ah Jin?"
"Yes!" Jin Chu glanced at him and felt that he was even more strange today. "But I don't believe it!"
Su Chengan embraced Jinchu and said, "Stop teasing me, Jin. I do have some happy news today. I'll tell you later. You must be tired after being busy all day. Go wash up first, and then we'll have dinner together."
Jin Chu nodded and went to the bathroom.
When she came out, the food had been served. The couple sat down and started eating. During the meal, Su Cheng'an diligently picked up several pieces of vegetables for her with his chopsticks and kept urging her to eat more.
After dinner, the two went to the bedroom. Jin Chu was reading a notebook with great interest. Although Su Cheng'an was also staring at the book, he was obviously not as focused as Jin Chu. He didn't turn the page for a long time, and his absent-mindedness was completely shown on his face.
"Ajin, let's take a break?" Su Cheng'an's voice rang out.
Jin Chu looked up at the copper clock and saw that it was still a quarter of an hour before the hour of Xu.
Normally she would not wash up and go to bed until 2:00 PM, and now it was still more than half an hour before that!
She was reading a book with great interest, so she said casually, "It's still early, let me read for another half an hour."
Su Cheng'an pursed his lips and said nothing.
A quarter of an hour later.
"Ajin, it's the hour of Xu!"
"Yeah." The girl listened without paying attention and continued to stare at the book in her hand.
The young man closed his eyes and said, "Then I'll go wash up first."
The girl didn't even raise her head: "Okay, go ahead!"
The young man sighed to himself and resigned himself to his fate as he headed towards the bathroom.
After he left, the girl who was buried in the book raised her head and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.
At this moment, Jin Chu was absolutely certain that Su Cheng'an was particularly abnormal today!
If he came to ask for sex again tonight, how would she respond?
