“Princess,” Little Fatty took the initiative to greet Phoenix, smiling naively.
He remembered Chen Fenglei’s reminder, so he used her princess title.
“Call me Sister Phoenix,” Phoenix glared at Little Fatty and said aloud.
“Sister Phoenix,” Little Fatty quickly corrected himself.
“Uh huh, that’s more like it,” Phoenix circled around Little Fatty, clicking her tongue in admiration and said, “Little Fatty, you look quite handsome in this outfit, and you seem lively, much more natural than your brother…”
Little Fatty was delighted, and shyly said, “My brother’s clothes are nicer than mine, when he put them on earlier, those people were all complimenting how handsome he is.”
Who was so tasteless?” Phoenix asked with a laugh.
“The people helping us dress,” Little Fatty said.
Little Fatty had never worn such clothes before; they looked nice but felt too constricting.
He felt like a giant zongzi, wrapped tightly in bamboo leaves and silk threads, barely able to breathe.
Even now, he was still holding his stomach in, afraid that if he relaxed even slightly, the buttons on his clothes would burst off…
He still preferred his old clothes, they were loose and comfortable, and made it easy to move around.
Sheng Xinhua looked at Phoenix and said, “We’ve been standing for quite some time now, when do you plan to finish chatting in the yard?”
Phoenix glanced at Sheng Xinhua and introduced her to Tang Fei and Little Fatty, “This is my good friend, Sheng Xinhua.”
Then, pointing at Tang Fei and Little Fatty, she said, “You already know them, they’re my friends from the Old Land, Tang Fei and Little Fatty…”
“I know,” Sheng Xinhua reached out to Tang Fei and said, “Xiu Xue often mentions you.”
“Thank you,” Tang Fei glanced at Phoenix and asked, “What did she say about me?”
“She said you’re an interesting person, that you saved her life,” Sheng Xinhua said.
Tang Fei nodded and replied, “Well, she’s not wrong.”
Sheng Xinhua giggled, turned to Phoenix and said, “Indeed, quite interesting, no wonder you’ve been so eager to bring him to New Star.”
“Sheng Xinhua…” Phoenix glared at Sheng Xinhua, reminding her not to speak out of turn.
Then she turned back to Tang Fei and Little Fatty and said, “Come inside and have a seat, don’t be reserved, just make yourselves at home.”
“Okay,” Little Fatty agreed with a nod.
Despite her words, he still felt somewhat restrained; this place was too good, so much so that it felt somewhat unreal…
So, he became extra cautious, fearful that he might accidentally break everything.
Tang Fei, on the other hand, was looking around, not expecting to find such an antiquely charming courtyard on New Star.
Pavilions, towers, artificial mountains and ponds, like a miniature Suzhou Garden.
Wouldn’t such a structure be hundreds, thousands of times more comfortable than those high-rises?
Naturally, the price was also incomparable.
Phoenix, walking beside Tang Fei, playfully asked, “Mr.
Tang Fei, are you satisfied with this place?”
“Satisfied,” Tang Fei nodded and turned to Phoenix to ask, “Will we be staying here from now on?”
Sheng Xinhua burst into laughter again, winked at Tang Fei and said, “Not impossible…
You just have to put in the effort.”
Phoenix began to reach out to pinch the soft flesh at Sheng Xinhua’s waist.
Who told her to dress so sexy and showy today, it was truly infuriating…
Phoenix looked at Tang Fei and said, “You can’t stay here, this is for your protection…
I’ve bought a small courtyard for you outside, you can live there later.”
We have our own courtyard?” Little Fatty asked excitedly.
Just entering New Star and they already had their own house, and a courtyard…
It was a wish that many New Star residents couldn’t achieve even after decades of hard work.
For Little Fatty, having a house meant having a foothold, a sense of security.
Then, he could consider himself a true New Star resident.
Without a house, he would still feel unstable, unsettled…
as if he could be chased away at any moment.
“Yes,” seeing Little Fatty so happy made Phoenix quite delighted herself.
She liked Little Fatty; she felt it was hard to find someone with such pure intentions again.
When they were on the Old Land, his kindness towards her was genuine, with no ulterior motives or schemes.
“But it’s not as big as this courtyard.”
“Is it as big as Henshan Courtyard?” Little Fatty asked.
“About the same,” Phoenix replied.
“The environment is a bit better than Henshan Courtyard.
Of course, it’s also safer…”
“That’s great, I want to see our courtyard right now,” Little Fatty said with anticipation.
“We haven’t eaten yet,” Phoenix said.
“After we eat, I’ll have someone take you there…
Today’s meal is all your favorites.”
Little Fatty stopped insisting on going back to see the courtyard.
The courtyard could be seen anytime, but the meat…
if he missed this meal, he’d have to wait for the next one.
Phoenix invited everyone to sit in the living room, and the servants promptly brought them tea.
Phoenix glanced at Little Fatty and said, “Get him a can of cola, cold.”
She knew that Little Fatty must kind of drink; otherwise, his build would be quite unreasonable…
“Yes, miss,” the servant complied and then brought Little Fatty a glass of cold cola.
Little Fatty took a sip and immediately fell in love with the taste.
