As she passed by them, Rong Lan took a glance at the words on their red booklets. Sure enough, it said "Divorce Certificate". Both of their eyes were red, looking like they had just cried. But even though they had shed tears, they still chose to go their separate ways, with no more ties from then on.
The driver had been waiting in the car for Chu Hengyuan and Rong Lan to return. Rong Lan imitated Chu Hengyuan's action. As soon as she got in the car, she grabbed a few wedding candies from his satchel and handed them to the driver, saying that the driver uncle could also share their joy.
The driver took the candies with both hands, smiling from ear to ear. "Are you two going straight back to Jiangge, Young Master and Young Mistress?"
Just now he had politely called her Miss Bai. But now seeing the red booklet in Rong Lan's hand, he quickly changed his address.
Chu Hengyuan glanced at his wristwatch. "Go straight back to Jiangge."
Rong Lan knew that their new house was in Jiangge, but she had never been there. She didn't even know if the house there was a single - family villa or a flat - floor apartment.
It wasn't until they entered the community and Chu Hengyuan led her to stop in front of the elevator that she guessed the new house was probably a flat - floor apartment.
She had let Si Mo live in her own flat - floor apartment. If the new house was also a flat - floor apartment, it would suit her well.
"Rong Rong, what kind of home do you like?" When the elevator door opened, Chu Hengyuan led Rong Lan into the elevator and pressed the button "15".
Rong Lan hesitated. It wasn't until they walked out of the elevator that she came up with a perfect answer. "I like a home with you in it."
She found it hard to describe in detail her preferences for the concept of "home". When she was still a fox, she lived happily with her parents and elder brothers in a thatched cottage. Later, she often ran away from home to play with her aunt and lived in the magnificent palace for a while. She was equally happy then.
For her, where she lived was never the most important thing. The most important thing was whether there were real family members accompanying her.
Similarly, now that she was married to Chu Hengyuan, in theory, he was her family. As long as Chu Hengyuan was there, even if they were forced to move to the old city area, she wouldn't dislike it.
Hearing this, Chu Hengyuan couldn't help smiling helplessly. Since the time when she came up with the drone proposal, he had known that as long as she wanted to, she could easily make people's hearts race. "We're here. There are two households on this floor. 1501 is our home. Rong Rong, go and register your fingerprint first. It'll be convenient for you to go out tomorrow."
Rong Rong nodded obediently and, with Chu Hengyuan's help, leaned in front of the door to register her fingerprint.
After registering her fingerprint, Rong Lan simply pressed her finger on the fingerprint lock, and the door clicked open a little. The sound of opening the door triggered all the voice - activated lights in the room to turn on. So as soon as Rong Lan pushed the door open, she saw a whole coffee table full of roses.
The little fox was shocked. She turned to look at the smiling man. "Did you prepare these flowers?"
She had a pretty good understanding of the prices in this world recently. Just looking at the number of roses, she knew the price must be at least four - digit.
But where did this poor playboy, Chu Hengyuan, get so much money? It didn't make sense.
The little girl was so surprised that she didn't even realize she was blocking the door. Chu Hengyuan, who was still outside, was helpless. He put his arm around her shoulder and led her forward a small step. Then he closed the door behind him and explained to her where the flowers came from. "To be precise, they were prepared by my friends. To save trouble, I didn't invite them to the wedding. They had nowhere to spend the gift money they had prepared, so they spent it all on some strange things."
"You'll know when you go to the study later. There are still a bunch of gifts they sent in the study."
He wasn't lying to his little wife about this. The flowers were really not prepared by him. Just when he was about to buy flowers, he received a message in the group chat. His good friends had pooled their money to buy him a carload of flowers and gifts.
Moreover, they were probably very afraid that he would accidentally open the gifts they had prepared for Rong Lan. They @ him in the group every day, reminding him not to open the gifts and emphasizing countless times that they were for Rong Lan.
Rong Lan turned her head and observed Chu Hengyuan's causal line carefully again. He really had a good popularity. So it was quite reasonable that his friends bought a bunch of roses to decorate his new house when he got married.
"I'll first show Rong Rong around our new home so that you can get familiar with it. Then you can either open the gifts or do whatever you want. I'll go to the kitchen to prepare some midnight snacks." As he said, Chu Hengyuan squatted down and took out a pair of couple slippers from the shoe cabinet.
Rong Lan squatted down obediently to change her shoes. "Okay."
After they both changed their shoes, Chu Hengyuan showed Rong Lan where the rooms were, where the cloakroom was, and where the kitchen was.
After a general tour, Rong Lan found that this flat - floor apartment wasn't much smaller than her own. Especially the master bedroom, it was incredibly large. And what surprised the fox the most was that, perhaps due to feng shui, she could feel a strong aura in this home, which was extremely beneficial for restoring her cultivation.
After getting familiar with the new home, Chu Hengyuan went to the kitchen to make midnight snacks. Rong Lan went to the cloakroom in the master bedroom to find clothes, took a shower in the bathroom, removed all the makeup on her face, and then went to the study to open the gifts.
She wasn't in a hurry to absorb the aura for cultivation. After all, the aura wasn't going anywhere. This was the place where she would live from now on, and she would have plenty of opportunities.
She was more interested in the ten or so gift boxes in the study now.
Sitting cross - legged on the fluffy floor mat, Rong Lan held a pair of scissors in one hand and rummaged through the gift boxes with the other.
After opening two gift boxes, she found they were ordinary gifts, either perfume or high - end luxury ornaments. And each gift box had a small greeting card in it. There was no signature indicating who sent the gift, but it was clearly stated that the gift was for Rong Lan and had nothing to do with Chu Hengyuan.
Rong Lan put the greeting cards aside, planning to find an album to put them in and keep them well after opening all the gifts.
For them, perfume and ornaments were not difficult to buy. The most important thing was those greeting cards that were obviously written carefully by the senders stroke by stroke. That was the most precious part of a gift.
Rong Lan sized up the remaining gift boxes and rummaged the biggest and heaviest one in front of her. Logically, if they were all things like perfume, the box wouldn't be so heavy. But this gift box was extremely different. She didn't know what was inside.
She tore off the outer packaging of the gift box and lifted the lid. The little fox curiously buried her head in and rummaged through the small items in the small boxes inside the big box. In the end, she held the greeting card and stared blankly in the direction of the door with a burning face, doubting her fox life.
What the hell was this?!
