Chapter 402 Wedding House?
"This…"
Ning Xiangtian rarely showed hesitation.
Lan Xi's fine brows lightly furrowed, her right hand waved lightly, "Quickly speak, or how about you sleep at the company today?"
Ning Xiangtian's old face reddened, pleaded with downcast eyes: "Wife, in front of the juniors, can't you leave me some face?"
"Now you talk to me about face?"
Lan Xi's eyes glared, "How many times do I have to say it, what exactly is going on with the one hundred million?"
Ning Xiangtian felt bitter in his heart!
At this moment, Ye Fan had already reacted, knowing his unintentional words had caused big trouble.
Having finally gained the goodwill of his future father-in-law with great difficulty, he really didn't want to destroy the newly established relationship because of this kind of thing.
"Sister Lan, Xiao Xi; you probably misunderstood."
Just at the moment before Ning Xiangtian was preparing to tell the truth, Ye Fan smiled and started to smooth things over, explaining without blushing or his heart skipping a beat: "Actually, this is just a joke between me and Uncle."
"Hmm?"
The mother and daughter looked at each other, doubt appearing in their eyes.
"Cough cough——"
Ye Fan sat upright, his expression serious, said: "All the related equipment for researching superconductivity was purchased with Uncle's money, totaling two hundred million. At that time, Uncle joked with me, saying this money was going down the drain."
"I felt somewhat unconvinced in my heart, so I said if I couldn't conquer superconductivity, I would bear half of this equipment cost. Although Uncle didn't take it to heart, I always remembered this matter. Young people are relatively concerned about face, I am no exception, that's why I said that just now."
Regarding Ye Fan's explanation, the mother and daughter were half-believing, half-doubting.
If it were someone else, they might still believe this explanation. But Ye Fan did things too steadily, this fundamentally didn't seem like something he would do.
Ye Fan covertly cast an apologetic look at Ning Xiangtian, "Uncle, really sorry, I just wanted to show off in front of you, didn't expect to cause such a misunderstanding."
As soon as these words came out, he directly attributed all the fault to himself, completely absolving Ning Xiangtian.
Ning Xiangtian naturally understood Ye Fan's intention, followed the path of least resistance (borrow a donkey to go downhill): "It's fine, at your age, being a bit hot-blooded is also very normal."
After speaking, he looked at his wife and daughter aggrievedly, "Sigh, even you don't believe me, truly heartbreaking."
Hearing this, Ye Fan forcefully suppressed his laughter, couldn't help but give Ning Xiangtian a thumbs up in his heart.
His acting skills are quite good!
Lan Xi sneered once, blinked at her daughter, "Xiao Xi, do you believe it?"
"Don't believe."
Ning Xi very straightforwardly shook her head, said clearly: "I understand Gege, he always does things with a good sense of propriety. What face, hot-blooded youth, these words fundamentally couldn't appear on him."
Speaking to here, her starry eyes sparkled non-stop, carrying a taste of wisdom, said with certainty: "Those two are definitely lying!"
Ye Fan: "…"
Ning Xiangtian: "…"
Ruined!
Ning-Holmes ( Ning Little Holmes)… online!
"Puchi——"
Lan Xi laughed until she bent forwards and backwards. Her daughter's analysis made her clap her hands in applause. However, she didn't dwell on this matter anymore.
After all, always have to give her husband a way out .
"Xiao Fan, if you're short of money, just ask Sister Lan for it. Why act like such an outsider?"
"Sister Lan's kind intentions, I appreciate them."
Ye Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Compared to getting something for nothing, I prefer to be self-reliant."
Seeing his wife no longer pursuing the matter of owing money, Ning Xiangtian raised his hand to wipe his sweat, feeling extremely emotional in his heart.
Wife is not easy to deal with, daughter is also not an easy one .
Too difficult!
Lan Xi nodded gratifiedly, asked curiously: "Xiao Fan, can you tell me what you plan to do? Feels like the money you need isn't a small sum."
"This… I know."
Ning Xi weakly raised her hand, blinked her eyes, "Gege, can I say it?"
"Of course you can." Ye Fan chuckled lowly.
Receiving permission, a sweet, soft smile rose on Ning Xi's face, "Gege indeed needs a large sum of money, because he wants to buy a house in the Imperial Capital."
"Buy a house?"
Whether Lan Xi or Ning Xiangtian; their demeanors were filled with surprise.
They had thought of many possibilities, but buying a house was the one option they hadn't considered.
An eighteen-year-old boy, how could he be thinking of buying a house?
Could it be...
The two thought of the same thing, looked at each other with mutual understanding.
"Cough!"
Lan Xi's eyes showed oddity, said softly: "Xiao Fan ah, actually you don't need to be in such a hurry. After all… you and Xiao Xi have just started dating, still some distance from marriage. Buying a… marital homenow, isn't it a bit too early?"
"Marital home?!"
This time, it was Ye Fan's and Ning Xi's turn to be surprised!
What?
How did it get associated with a marital home?
Ye Fan was just about to open his mouth to explain when Ning Xi beat him to it, explaining urgently with a completely red little face: "Where did your thoughts go? What… marital home, it's fundamentally not like that."
"Gege is going to buy the previously rented apartment!"
"Oh? So it's like that."
Lan Xi came to a sudden realization. Next, even greater doubt surged in her heart.
She had been to the apartment Ye Fan previously rented. How to say it...
Very small!
Of course, it was completely OK for one person to live in. But if used as a marital home, it would be too small!
Unconsciously, Lan Xi once again linked Ye Fan buying a house with a marital home.
"Xiao Fan, isn't that house a bit small? And the layout design isn't too reasonable either. There are actually many good houses in the Imperial Capital. If you want to buy a house, let your uncle help inquire around, definitely good value for money !"
Ye Fan instantly heard the ulterior motive in Lan Xi's words, asked with a smile: "Sister Lan, do you know why I want to buy the rented apartment?"
Lan Xi shook her head.
Even Ning Xiangtian cast a curious gaze.
Ye Fan's thin lips pursed, "Xiao Xi drew two cherry blossom trees on the wall of that apartment. These two cherry blossom trees were specially drawn for me by Xiao Xi, so… mm, just like that."
No need for more words. Just this reason, he wouldn't hide it either.
Ning Xi's eyes curved, dimples climbed onto her face, layers of sweetness spread in her heart.
"…"
Lan Xi and Ning Xiangtian stared at each other with wide eyes, their expressions extremely brilliant.
What on earth?
Just because two cherry blossom trees were drawn on the wall, he wants to buy the house? This operation truly made the two unable to process.
Too absurd!
"Just this reason?"
"Isn't this reason enough?"
"…"
Lan Xi was speechless.
Although the apartment Ye Fan rented wasn't large, this was the Imperial Capital. It would cost at least ten million upwards. Yet it was just for two cherry blossom trees on the wall?
Regarding this, she could only say it was too… wasteful!
However, it was also truly romantic!
Thinking of this, Lan Xi couldn't help but look faintly at her husband, complained: "Learn properly from Xiao Fan, I also want this kind of romance!"
The corner of Ning Xiangtian's mouth twitched slightly, asked in a small voice: "Wife, first you have to learn how to draw."
Lan Xi: "…"
