Chapter 76 -76: Tong Jialu’s Fantasy

“Mr.

Jin, here are your fermented soybean drink and fried dough rings.”

Tong Jialu brought breakfast for both of them, and did not forget to hand over the steaming buns to Chen Cheng, “Brother Cheng, your buns.”

Chen Cheng nodded, took a sip of soy milk, and ate the large buns filled with soy sauce pork.

Meanwhile, Tong Jialu took out something like coffee from her bag, poured it into a bottle of mineral water, and shook it vigorously.

Chen Cheng looked at the granular contents inside, guessing it was probably a meal replacement with chia seeds.

For girls, maintaining figure always requires some “special” efforts.

Jin Baogen picked up a chopstick of pickles and casually asked, “How was the business on the opening day yesterday?”

Chen Cheng put down his chopsticks, “I almost forgot to mention this.

Wen Shulin topped up her card with 500,000.”

Jin Baogen raised his eyebrows, “She’s so generous?”

“Cough, the first time I saw her at the gym, she also bought a lot of private lessons,” Chen Cheng replied.

“It seems like she wants to have a good relationship with you,” Jin Baogen said with a smile, “otherwise, she couldn’t really like you, right?”

“Hey, Mr.

Jin, are you teasing me?” Chen Cheng joked.

Jin Baogen waved his hand, “Xiao Wen, she has her principles in selecting people.”

“What?” Chen Cheng was very curious.

“It’s quite simple, any woman that’s been touched by a man, she won’t want,” Jin Baogen inadvertently glanced towards Tong Jialu who was beside Chen Cheng.

Upon hearing this, Tong Jialu quickly swallowed the meal replacement in her mouth, afraid that the next sentence might chock her.

Last night, after seeing the top-up record, Chen Cheng also speculated about Wen Shulin’s motivation.

But at this moment, it seemed he worried too much.

“500,000 is just 500,000!” Jin Baogen said indifferently, “For her, that’s just half a bag’s worth.”

He glanced at the Vacheron Constantin on his wrist and hurriedly ate a few bites, then stood up, “I have other things to do, I’ll leave first.”

“So soon?” asked Chen Cheng.

Tong Jialu quickly stood up.

Jin Baogen said with a laugh, “There’s an event at the association today, and I’m a judge.

I need to check it out.”

He left a hundred yuan on the table, “Just like that, if Wen Shulin makes any next moves, give me a call.”

Chen Cheng also stood up, “I’ll see you out.”

“No need, the buns will not taste good when they get cold.”

Jin Baogen turned to wave his hand, walking out of the restaurant, leaving Chen Cheng and Tong Jialu at their seats.

Chen Cheng picked up his chopsticks again and lowered his head to eat.

He asked, “Are you going to the bank today?”

Tong Jialu shook her head, “I took a day off, I’m resting today.”

“Oh?

That’s nice.

Taking a leave right after starting at the headquarters?” Chen Cheng asked with a smile.

“Thanks to the one billion in turnover you gave me, taking a day off is nothing for me now,” Tong Jialu boldly stated.

The corners of Chen Cheng’s mouth curved upwards, “Alright then, later we’ll go to a place.”

Tong Jialu’s legs unintentionally closed tight, she felt both excited and troubled, so she tentatively said:

“Brother Cheng, I’m not very available these days.

If you really need, I could…”

Chen Cheng was stunned for half a second, but seeing Tong Jialu’s expression, he understood.

“Early in the morning, what are you thinking?” he said lightly, “I’m asking you to accompany me to buy a house.”

“Ah?”

Tong Jialu was both surprised and disappointed.

On one hand, Chen Cheng asking her to go along was a small acknowledgment.

On the other hand, it was just buying a house, it seemed like the deep kiss they shared in the back seat hadn’t escalated effectively.

“What’s wrong?

You don’t want to?” Chen Cheng noticed Tong Jialu’s hesitation and asked.

“No, not at all.”

Tong Jialu quickly waved her hand, “I just… didn’t expect you would ask me to go.”

“With you around, wouldn’t it be more convenient for me if I chose to pay in installments?” Chen Cheng said indifferently, “Otherwise, I’ll call your sister to come out.”

Tong Jialu instinctively held Chen Cheng’s hand but then quickly let go.

“Brother Cheng, that’s not what I meant,” she said nervously.

Chen Cheng looked at her panicked little face, amused, “Alright, I’ll stop teasing you.

After we finish eating, we’ll go.”

“Okay!”

After a simple breakfast, they got back into the car.

Chen Donghai had meticulously selected a 190 square meter four-bedroom apartment in Palm Springs for Chen Cheng as part of yesterday’s tasks.

“Xiao Hai, what time was the appointment?” Chen Cheng asked.

“10 o’clock, Mr.

Chen.”

Chen Donghai replied crisply, handing over the prepared property details, “These are the detailed particulars provided by the agent.

Please take a look.”

“We still have some time then.” Chen Cheng took them, leaned back in his seat, and started browsing.

“Alright, let’s drive.”

Chen Cheng carefully read the details.

The property was listed at 19 million yuan; the owner, a member of Zhongjin’s management, due to work reasons, needed to relocate from Beijing and was thus eager to sell.

This apartment in Palm Springs was a rare find – a clear-water property, fulfilled a five-year occupancy, and with its prime location and established neighborhood conditions, it perfectly matched Chen Cheng’s expectations.

After a brief glance, he turned to look at the streetscape outside the window; another major event in his life was about to unfold.

He could even imagine the joyous smile that would light up Xiao Meier’s face when she saw this little home that belonged to them.

Tong Jialu was assisting Chen Cheng in checking the mortgage promotions on the side.

Although she worked for Beijing Bank, her more important identity was as one of Chen Cheng’s only two playmates.

“Brother Cheng, the mortgage benefits from our bank are not that significant,” Tong Jialu informed him honestly.

“Maybe I could contact friends at the other top banks for you?”

Chen Cheng turned to look at the young girl, “I might not need a loan.”

“Oh?

Then I came because…”

Young girls often have many unrealistic fantasies.

Hearing this, she thought Chen Cheng was buying an apartment for her to live alone, to avoid awkwardness living with Xia Yubing.

“Brother Cheng, you…”

Tong Jialu was even somewhat moved.

But what Chen Cheng actually said was, “I just feel happy having you around.”

He paused, “Of course, pleasing to the eye is one of the reasons.”

Her mood plummeted from the clouds to the bottom of the valley, deflated like a balloon, pouting and leaning back in her seat.

Seeing this, Chen Cheng deliberately leaned closer, looking at her disappointed face, teasing, “You didn’t think I was really going to buy an apartment for you, did you?”

“No…” Tong Jialu desperately tried to hide it.

“Last time your sister lied, and I gave her a little punishment.”

Chen Cheng looked at her with an amused expression.

Tong Jialu bit her lower lip, Chen Cheng, always elegant yet often not so serious, was very close. freēnovelkiss.com

Her teeth relaxed, her eyes closed, eyelashes fluttering.

Just when she mustered up the courage to lean in, Chen Cheng had already returned to his seat.

“Brother Cheng…” she called out, unwilling to give up.

Chen Cheng, stroking those long legs stacked together, visualized a pie,

“If you and Xia Yubing ever fall out, buying an apartment wouldn’t be a big deal.”

He paused briefly, a smile full of warmth on his face, “But I think you two should be fine, right?”

Tong Jialu nodded continuously, “Brother Cheng, don’t worry.

My cousin and I get along very well.”

“That’s good.”

Chen Cheng’s hand gently slid over her leg, curiously asking, “This stocking of yours seems a bit different from your cousin’s.”

“My cousin prefers Lai Mi,” Tong Jialu explained in detail, “I like Ling.”

Chen Cheng nodded deeply, “Well, there really is quite a big difference.”
