Su Yang always felt that when Xu Lize said this, it seemed as if he was teasing her like a pet.
However, the man's expression was calm, showing no sign of joking. Almost instinctively, Su Yang immediately thought of the identity of Xu Lize that Su Qian had mentioned - the young master of Mingkai Group.
Mingkai Group, one of the top leading enterprises in Haicheng, started from real estate and has now expanded into large - scale shopping malls and precision instruments. If Su Yang remembered correctly, there was also a private hospital in Haicheng under the "Mingkai" brand.
If Xu Lize's identity was true, then...
Su Yang quietly glanced at the man who was driving straight ahead with her peripheral vision. Suddenly, she felt a twinge of pain in her stomach.
What should she do? The man she was about to marry soon seemed to be more than just an ordinary businessman.
The seven - seat business car drove all the way from the new district to the north of the city and finally entered the well - known high - end villa area in Haicheng - "Wutong No. 1".
When the car drove past the main gate, Xu Lize rolled down the window and greeted the on - duty guard.
The guard recognized him and immediately showed a warm smile on his face.
"Mr. Xu, you're back early today?"
Xu Lize smiled politely and said in a cold voice, "Please ask the property management to make a new access card for me. I'll come to pick it up later."
"Sure, Mr. Xu." The guard nodded vigorously, looking as if he was ready to take full responsibility.
The car then drove onto the welcoming avenue inside the community, made a half - turn to the right, and continued driving south.
Seeing Su Yang staring out of the window intently, Xu Lize eased off the accelerator and said casually, "You don't need to remember the way. This is a pedestrian - vehicle separated area. I'm driving on the vehicle lane. If you walk, it'll be a long detour on this lane."
Su Yang felt her cheeks flush instantly, but she pretended to be serious and retorted, "I'm just looking at the scenery!"
Xu Lize smiled silently without exposing her.
All the villas in Wutong No. 1 were single - family villas. Although the sizes and floor plans varied, each villa had its own private garden. The gardens were interconnected, separating one villa from another, ensuring the privacy of each owner.
When Su Yang carried her suitcase into the garden gate, she deliberately looked at the villa number plate on the wall.
Number 88!
Su Yang swallowed hard. She always had the illusion that she wasn't here to move in today but to experience how the rich went on vacation.
The front door was a fingerprint lock. When Xu Lize opened the door and walked in, he said to Su Yang who was following behind, "It's too late now. I'll register your fingerprint later."
"Are we... going to live here from now on?" Su Yang stood in the spacious entrance hall. Looking up, she saw the large living room with a completely open - ceiling directly opposite.
The simple European - style decoration made the whole living room look luxurious and expensive, but it also exuded a coldness that was far from the hustle and bustle of life.
"It's convenient to go out. There's a subway station just across the inner road. There are also enough rooms to put your things." Xu Lize said as he pushed the two suitcases into the living room.
Su Yang looked at the rather empty - looking villa and thought of her few boxes of belongings. She always felt that Xu Lize was making fun of her...
Just as she was thinking wildly, Xu Lize's phone rang.
He gave her a look that said "do as you like" and then answered the phone and walked out.
When Xu Lize came back in with a cardboard box in his arms, he saw Su Yang standing by the counter in the open - style kitchen, looking around.
"Su Yang."
He called her name clearly and precisely, with the end sound slightly dropping, as if it were a seductive command that made the hairs on Su Yang's body stand up.
"Yes!"
For some unknown reason, she felt as if she were in a large public class with multiple classes in college, and the teacher was casually calling the roll on the podium.
"What are your plans this afternoon?"
Su Yang shook her head. "I only planned to move today."
"Okay then. I have something urgent to do and need to leave right away. You can choose any room on the second floor. Just put your things in the one you like. I asked the aunt to replenish the food in the refrigerator yesterday. Can you handle lunch and dinner by yourself? If not..."
"I can!" Su Yang interrupted him. "I've really troubled you today. You go and do your business. Don't worry. I can take good care of myself." Then she felt that it wasn't enough and added, "And I won't run around randomly."
Xu Lize glanced at her. Before turning around, he didn't forget to tell her, "There are the contact information of the property management and the villa butler on the coffee table. If something happens, call them... or you can call me too."
"Okay." Su Yang said and followed him. "I'll help you carry the boxes so you can leave earlier."
"No need. I'll change to another car. You take your time."
After Xu Lize finished speaking, he stepped out of the door directly.
Su Yang was a bit slow to react. It wasn't until a silver sports car roared past the open front door a few minutes later that she belatedly scolded herself in her heart - "fool"!
The speeding car gradually drove away and finally disappeared into the dappled shadows of the lush trees on both sides of the driveway.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and Su Yang faintly heard the sound of water "swooshing".
She looked around curiously. After walking around the front door of the villa, she found that there was actually an open - air small swimming pool behind the garden.
The summer wind blew, rippling the water in the pool.
The sparkling blue water rose and fell under the intense sunlight, looking like a huge mint jelly, clear and transparent.
Su Yang wasn't so easily shocked by a private swimming pool, but she couldn't deny that in just two days of knowing him, the impact Xu Lize brought to her was a bit overwhelming.
She suddenly understood why Su Qian had repeatedly tried to stop her from marrying Xu Lize. Just looking at this kind of life, few girls could remain calm.
Fortunately, Su Yang thought she was relatively clear - headed.
The social status gap between Xu Lize and her was huge. If it weren't for the friendship between the two families' elders, neither she nor Su Qian would have caught Xu Lize's eye.
Although Xu Lize was really rich, Su Yang thought that since she had taken one million from him, she should play the role of "Mrs. Xu" well within his requirements.
After all, her marriage with Xu Lize was actually an unmatched "cross - border cooperation". The marriage certificate was like a contract. Even though Xu Lize had said that they couldn't get divorced within ten years, Su Yang dared to bet that as long as she had any unreasonable thoughts, Xu Lize would surely make her pay the price.
Thinking like this, Su Yang became more at ease.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Although all this luxury didn't belong to her, she could use this luxury with the identity of "Mrs. Xu". There was really no need for her to feel inferior.
