Huo Shao Ting gestured for Zhang Assistant to proceed with the arrangements before walking over and embracing her from behind. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "A New Year's gift for you."
Rong Dai leaned against his chest, now having a deep understanding of the housing prices in Shengjing. She sighed lightly and turned her head to look at him.
"Shao Ting, actually, it would be enough to rent. I know you're not short on money, but spending billions so easily, I feel a bit..."
She felt a bit anxious.
His kindness towards her was multiplied, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to reciprocate the same level of kindness to him.
"I've told you not to burden yourself. I won't stop you from doing anything, but don't stop me from treating you well."
Huo Shao Ting understood what she meant and lightly kissed her earlobe, his voice gentle.
"Although money is a worldly possession, we are just ordinary people."
"Wife, I'm just an ordinary person too."
"I work hard to earn money and provide for our family, just to spend it on you and make you happy and secure."
"I've promised to be a good husband to you and spending money on my wife is my responsibility."
Listening to his words, Rong Dai's heart softened.
What else could she say?
The warmth radiating from this man was more than she could bear, but she just happened to love this kind of warmth.
Besides, Zhang Assistant had already gone downstairs to handle things, so it was impossible for her to stop it now.
"But in the future, don't casually buy houses like this, it's too extravagant."
She said helplessly.
"Then gold? Diamonds? Or maybe a castle or a vineyard, as long as you like it."
Huo Shao Ting asked her in a soft voice.
Rong Dai: "..."
How about buying the World Bank for me?
"Really? How about buying me a piece of land?"
She jokingly asked him, and if Huo Shao Ting could do these things for her, she would already be very satisfied.
The human heart is like an abyss. The more you get, the more you want, and it can never be satisfied.
She was afraid that she would get used to Huo Shao Ting's tender and considerate care for her, and if he had even the slightest flaw in the future, she would have complaints.
That was very scary.
She just wanted to walk with the man in front of her in an ordinary and peaceful manner and cherish every moment spent with him.
"Alright."
Huo Shao Ting lightly smiled and gently sucked on her earlobe, his voice soft as he replied.
Naturally, he knew that Rong Dai's words were a joke.
But he had said that he never took her words as a joke, he was serious.
Since this was what his wife wanted, he would do it even if he had to go all out.
The couple decided on the address for their studio, had lunch at a nearby restaurant, and then drove to Huafu Hill City.
Designer Li Cong and his team had been waiting here for a while. When they saw the couple approaching, he immediately walked up to them.
"Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo."
"Mr. Li." Rong Dai smiled lightly and nodded in greeting.
"The renovation is almost complete, and we have taken care of all the requests Mrs. Huo made. Both of you can have a look, and if there's anything that needs to be changed, we can discuss it on the spot."
Li Cong was well-known in the industry, but his attitude remained humble.
Rong Dai smiled and glanced at him, saying, "I believe in Mr. Li's expertise."
With that, she took Huo Shao Ting's arm and entered the villa together.
Because high-end environmentally friendly materials were used, there were almost no other odors in the house except for a faint woody fragrance.
Li Cong led his team following the couple. As Rong Dai entered the villa, her eyes immediately lit up.
This was her house, her little home with Huo Shao Ting.
Seeing the interior decoration of the house, an indescribable sense of belonging and happiness surged in her heart.
Since Huafu Hill City was a semi-open Chinese-style courtyard villa, the overall style of the decoration leaned towards Chinese design but also incorporated some modern elements.
And Li Cong, having worked in the design team back then, was familiar with the overall structure of Huafu Hill City, so these elements blended together seamlessly.
Elegant, tranquil, and comfortable.
This was the feeling Rong Dai desired.
As the chief designer, Li Cong explained each room and every detail to Rong Dai attentively.
From the dining room to the living room, the study to the bedroom, they all suited Rong Dai's preferences.
"This is the nursery. It has ample natural light, and the materials used are environmentally friendly, free from formaldehyde hazards."
When they reached the nursery, Li Cong briefly mentioned.
Rong Dai released her grip on Huo Shao Ting's arm and walked to the wooden crib. She reached out and gently touched it. The room was decorated in a dreamlike manner, with colors that babies liked.
Her gaze lingered as she touched the baby mobile hanging above the crib, and she couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart, thinking about the unborn child from her previous life.
She had always yearned for a child of her own. Would she be able to fulfill that in this life?
"If you don't like it, we can change it. There's still time," Huo Shao Ting sensed her emotions and stepped forward, gently supporting her waist, his voice soft.
Rong Dai quickly composed herself. Her past was no longer relevant to her, and she wanted to focus on the future, to walk hand in hand with Huo Shao Ting.
"I really like it," she looked up at him and said with a smile. "And I'm also looking forward to the arrival of our child."
Huo Shao Ting tightened his grip on her waist. "It will happen, no rush."
Rong Dai nodded. Because it concerned their child, she had stricter requirements for the nursery. She carefully checked every detail inside and out, and offered some suggestions.
Li Cong had them noted down, and the group proceeded to see the dedicated studio prepared for Rong Dai, where she would do embroidery.
After going through it inside and out, Rong Dai was extremely satisfied.
"Mr. Li is truly professional!" Rong Dai couldn't help but praise.
Li Cong smiled, glanced at Huo Shao Ting, who stood silently beside her, overseeing the acceptance process, and replied to her, "This is my job, but in fact, all these details were proposed by Mr. Huo. He personally finalized every aspect."
"I and my team simply followed his instructions."
Rong Dai felt a warm sensation in her heart after listening. She couldn't help but turn her head and look at Huo Shao Ting standing beside her.
This man had actually remembered the things she said when they were looking at houses.
Although she had only mentioned a few requirements and desired styles for the house's decoration, and hadn't interfered in any other matters, he had taken extra care with everything. This made her feel a tinge of guilt.
"Well, if Mr. and Mrs. Huo have no objections, then we will head back for now. We will handle the remaining tasks as quickly as possible."
Li Cong, being experienced, knew that it was time to leave.
