Chapter 277 - 277 Priceless
277 Priceless
Lian Jing laughed and flicked her head. “We have a home. Why are we going to a hotel?”
Shen Yin also knew that her guess was absurd, but she really could not think of any other possibility.
There were too many places that they could go. Which one was the place Lian Jing really wanted to bring her to?
The car drove slowly through the old district. There was a short alley ahead.
Shen Yin leaned on Lian Jing’s shoulder in boredom. Suddenly, she glanced out of the window and realized that the scenery outside was getting more and more familiar. She sat up straight in shock and tugged his hand in surprise. “You brought me to Grandpa’s house? Didn’t you say that the house had to be renovated first?”
The car quickly stopped in front of the small courtyard. Lian Jing held her hand and got out of the car. He brought her to see the house that he had arranged to be renovated and cleaned from the inside out. “The overall structure inside hasn’t been touched, but we’ve added some furniture and appliances. We’ve also repaired some cracks on the wall. It’s already habitable.”
Shen Yin eyes widened in surprise and walked around to take a look. She had to personally touch the new tables and chairs. Her eyes could not take everything in. “It’s so beautiful! I’ve always wanted vintage furniture like that, but unfortunately, I haven’t bought my own house.”
“You have your own house now.” Lian Jing walked to her side and hugged her shoulders. “This place will belong to you from now on. I’ve already gotten someone to transfer the ownership to your name.”
Shen Yin turned around to look at him in surprise, her eyes full of gratitude. “You mean I can come and live here anytime in the future?”
“Didn’t I give you the key long ago? Of course you can come whenever you want.” Lian Jing smiled and promised her. Suddenly, he thought of something and reached out to stroke her hair. “But when I’m at home, you still have to come home to stay.”
Amused, Shen Yin avoided his hand and nodded happily. “I know. I’ll bring you along when I come here in the future. After all, this is our home.”
Lian Jing’s eyes flickered. He could not help but hold her hand and pull her into his arms. “It’s our home. Is that agreed?”
“Yes.” Shen Yin nodded without hesitation.
If not for Lian Jing, this house would have gone to someone else long ago. Shen Cheng did not have the ability to earn money, and Shen Luo and Lin He spent a lot every day. In order to survive, her good-for-nothing father had sold this place to someone else long ago.
If not for Lian Jing, she really could not imagine returning to this small courtyard one day.
With that thought, Shen Yin tiptoed over gratefully and planted a light kiss on his lips. Her voice was filled with joy. “Thank you, Lian Jing. I know that you’re really good to me.”
Lian Jing smiled and tapped her nose. “At least you have a conscience.”
“When did I lose my conscience?” Shen Yin glared at him indignantly. She picked up the porcelain bottle on the wooden cabinet and casually asked, “Are these really priceless antiques? I can’t afford to lose them!”
Lian Jing raised his eyebrows and glanced at her casually. “It’s not priceless.”
Shen Yin heaved a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to put down the porcelain bottle, she heard Lian Jing’s indifferent voice from behind her. “It’s only about three million.”
“?”
Shen Yin’s hand that was holding the bottle suddenly paused. She suddenly felt the cold object grow hot. She turned around and glared at him in disbelief. “No way? Aren’t you afraid that someone will steal such a precious thing from you?”
Seeing Lian Jing’s smiling expression, Shen Yin instantly felt her hair stand on end. She gently put down the porcelain bottle and pointed at something that looked like an incense burner. “Then this can’t be more than three million yuan, right?”
“No.” Lian Jing shook his head gently.
Shen Yin’s relaxed slightly, and she heard his sinister voice suddenly say, “It’s only ten million yuan. If you like it, you can burn some of your favorite incense inside.”
Fine.
Shen Yin complained in her heart. Even if she burned herself, it would not be worth more than this incense burner!
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this place was unsafe. She ran around the house like a headless fly. Finally, she confirmed that Lian Jing was rich enough to have placed 42 treasures in this small, ordinary house.
“Stop spinning.” Lian Jing helplessly held her hand and comforted her softly. “What are you afraid of? Would anyone dare to steal from my place?”
“But…” Shen Yin wanted to say something else, but Lian Jing had already anticipated her words. He pulled her hand and brought her over to a wooden shelf and pointed at a small hole on it. “There are dozens of such cameras installed here, and my bodyguards will be outside. There’s no safer place than this.”
“But there’s no need to put so many expensive things here.” Shen Yin still did not quite agree. She was mainly afraid that she would be pained if she lost the things.
Lian Jing hugged her shoulders in amusement. “I’m just teasing you. Actually, only those two are worth some money. The rest are fake.”
