The three of them were childhood friends. Naturally, Su Yan was very clear about Chai Xingyu’s character. Tang Yitong would definitely lead a very happy life with him, and Su Yan was genuinely happy.
Of course, it was precisely because Su Yan understood Chai Xingyu so well that she knew that he would not call without a reason. Chai Xingyu asking her for so-called advice must have been because he encountered some difficult problem.
On the other end of the phone, there was a moment of silence before Chai Xingyu spoke again. “To get married, we need a house and a big diamond ring.”
“Oh...” Su Yan dragged her voice out.
Upon hearing the word “house”, Su Yan suddenly remembered the thoughts that Tang Yitong had shared with her before. In the past two years, Tang Yitong had been working hard to save money. She hoped to save up enough to buy Chai Xingyu and herself a marital home, and surprise him with the house.
“It’s the 19th today. There’s still a week left. When should we make an appointment?” Su Yan asked.
Chai Xingyu retorted, “You’re probably busier than me. It depends on your schedule.”
“Your marriage is the most important thing. I can leave work at any time, so it’s better to focus on your schedule instead.” Su Yan smiled.
Chai Xingyu thought for a moment and said, “How about the day after tomorrow?”
“No problem.” Su Yan nodded without a second thought.
After hanging up the phone, Su Yan glanced at her ten slender fingers. Nine months ago, there was a sparkling diamond ring on the ring finger of her right hand. It was a record of her marriage. Now, there was nothing on it. Even the marks that had been there after three years of wearing the ring had disappeared. It looked like Su Yan had never worn a ring before.
As her thoughts wandered, Su Yan looked out of the window and was happy for Tang Yitong. At the same time, Su Yan also sighed for herself. She was not so lucky. She didn’t have a love that others would envy, and did not marry someone she truly loved.
For two consecutive days, Su Yan was busy as usual. All her schedules and time-slots were packed by Wang Xiaoxue. The only thing that made Su Yan happy was Chai Xingyu and Tang Yitong’s proposal.
In the blink of an eye, the date Su Yan had arrangedwith Chai Xingyu was about to arrive. In order to help Chai Xingyu choose a home and wedding ring, Su Yan even asked Wang Xiaoxue to move her meetings forward by one day.
In this way, she set a precedence. It was the first time since Su Yan became a manager that she stayed in the company the entire day. Chai Xingyu was not idle either. Recently, he often took time out to look at the apartments. Fortunately, these apartments were all new. They were quite close by and were basically along the same road.
The only drawback was that these new apartments were very expensive. Their starting price was $120,000 per square meter, because they were close to the city center and were in the school district. An ordinary person could not even dream about affording such an apartment, let alone buying it.
..
It was very early in the morning. Su Yan wanted to sleep in, but she was woken up by robot Xiao Xiao. Still bleary-eyed, Su Yan washed up, put on some makeup, and left. Chai Xingyu was already waiting at the door.
The two of them nodded and smiled at each other. They were so close that they didn’t need to talk much. They knew what each other wanted to say, and even their eyes could tell what the other person was thinking. This was quite unlike Tang Yitong, who liked to chatter non-stop.
Before they could get very far, Su Yan asked, “You’re getting married so early. Have you really thought it through?”
“There’s nothing much to think about. We’re going to get married anyway. It’s the same thing sooner or later,” Chai Xingyu replied.
Seeing his firm resolution, the corners of Su Yan’s lips curled up slightly. She wondered what Tang Yitong’s expression would be like after she was proposed to. Su Yan also wondered how much money Tang Yitong had saved to buy the house.
“Tsk, tsk. These two are willing to do so much for each other! Their love is something enviable.” Su Yan thought to herself.
As a woman, Su Yan could tell that Chai Xingyu was fallen head over heels for Tang Yitong. He took care Tang Yitong meticulously, and was understanding and tolerant. Chai Xingyu thought about everything with Tang Yitong as his first priority.
Su Yan raised her head to look at the warm winter sun in the clear sky. A bitter smile appeared on her face. Su Yan knew that after helping Chai Xingyu find the perfect apartment and ring, she would be very envious of their love.
They had already looked at five houses in a row. All of them seemed to be the type that Tang Yitong liked.. The only difference was the size of the houses and the greenery of the residential area.
