Early in the morning on the weekend, Ning An went to Weiran’s rental place with the materials for various properties and floor plans, thinking that if the other party also found them suitable, they could take advantage of the free time over the weekend to go and see the houses.
The rented house’s furniture and even the curtains had all been replaced with new ones, giving the place a different feel when entering.
Weiran handed her a pair of women’s slippers.
The slippers were new, bought together by the two of them during a previous supermarket trip.
As soon as Ning An stepped inside, she took out her handiwork from several sleepless nights and said, "Look, you asked me to help you look for houses before, right? I’ve found some options for you. I compared several neighborhoods around the area, inquired about the housing prices, property environment, and reputation of the layout among others, and finally selected a few that I think are quite suitable. You can take a look first, and if you think so too, we could find a time to go house hunting. There’s no need to buy one right away; we could simply start paying attention to the market."
Weiran didn’t expect this girl to take it so seriously since buying a house is a big deal, and it’s normal to spend a few months or even up to a year and a half searching.
But to his surprise, she had targeted potential properties in just a few nights.
She even made a list, noting down the pros and cons of each neighborhood, with the layout and pricing being of course the most important factors.
After Weiran looked over the materials she brought, it was apparent that she had put a lot of thought into it. However, pointing to the selection material she brought, he said, "Do you have a slight misunderstanding about what your boyfriend knows?"
"What do you mean?" Ning An looked at him puzzled.
"I have carefully inquired and understood these properties, and I have listed the most suitable ones. Of course, each one has some defects and isn’t perfect. But after comparing them across considerations such as layout, location, developers, and property management, these ones indeed offer the best value for money, and I think they are the most suitable. Of course, if you don’t like them, we can look at others."
Weiran: "What you’ve picked is indeed okay, but they are a bit small."
"Not really small, it’s enough for you to live alone," Ning An blurted out without thinking.
She had chosen units ranging from 70 to 90 square meters, with two bedrooms and one living room. Not to mention for one person, even for two, it was enough.
It’s just that the rooms were a bit small.
Weiran: "Who said I will be living alone? I intend to use it as a marriage house, there will be my wife, and also children in the future. Do you really think it’s enough?"
For some reason, Ning An felt there was a deeper meaning in the way he said that and looked at her. She couldn’t quite bear it and her gaze inadvertently wandered as she coughed, "Well, I think these things can be swapped out later when needed."
Weiran: "That’s too troublesome, I prefer to have everything settled in one go."
"I understand, I will help you look some more," Ning An said, trying to steady her mind.
"Ning An..." she heard him call her name, "you don’t need to worry so much about the house price, layout, property management, or location. Those aren’t issues; just pick whatever you like."
Although wages at the research lab aren’t high, over the years he had sold some patents, and especially in the past two years abroad, he had started a Company using his latest research findings in partnership, with the other party managing the business and himself in charge of R&D.
In short, he wasn’t short on money.
"Okay, I got it!" At that moment, Ning An felt like she couldn’t control her heartbeat.
It was inexplicably fast and strong.
