nThe cashier immediately took the card as if she had won the lottery, and she swiped it. The words flashed across the screen. Her breath hitched. Just as she had thought, this really was the black gold diamond card.

nThe disbelief vanished from her features, and she bowed her head. “We thank you for shopping with us,” she said respectfully. “Being our prestigious black gold diamond member, you can take all of these for free.”

n

n

n“Ah.” Yao Tang tilted her head curiously. “I’ll pay for his water bottle too then.”

nThe cashier nodded, not even bothering to look at the black card in Cheng Yan’s hand.

nWhile the black card was also quite prized, it was nothing compared to the diamond card she was holding.

nCheng Yan nodded slowly as he shoved his card back into his pockets.

n

n

nEven Qin Hao couldn’t believe what was happening. “And if she wants to empty this place, what then?”

n“As long as Miss is willing, she can do it.”

nThe cashier was close to jumping as the giddiness washed all over her. She immediately held up a piece of paper. “Miss, please fill in your address. We will send everything you’ve ordered right away!”

nIf the cashier could reach the skies with that smile of hers, she already would’ve

n

n

nYao Tang took the form in her hands and frowned.

nAddress?

nNow, that was a problem. After all, she still couldn’t find a place to stay yet. It’s not that she couldn’t afford to buy a place now, but it’s just…she wanted to find a place that was perfect for her–that’s it.

n“I’ll only take what I need for today,” she said simply as she took the tablet and computer from the countertop. The rest of the things she had bought were temporarily left in Tian Run City, which the cashier had promised to send as soon as the address was given.

nOnly when they had returned to the car did Qin Hao realize the mistake he made.

nHe had known Cheng Yan for so many years, and the man was always being surrounded by those gold diggers. How the hell was he supposed to know that this high school girl would turn out to have an even more prestigious financial background than his friend?

n

n

nThe things she had brought…it cost a million! A million!

nOf course, he had heard of the Black Gold Diamond Card membership premium in Tian Run Mall. Who didn’t? But there had not been a single living soul who have used it, so he had simply assumed that there weren’t any takers.

nYet here’s this woman who had pulled it out as if she was pulling out a tissue.

nHow could this be?

nCheng Yan held a small cake box that he was going to give to Yao Tang. “You already bought me water, so why don’t I treat you to dinner?”

n“It’s already very late.” She gazed up at the sky. “Maybe some other time.”

n“Shall I send you home then?” After a pause, he added, “It’s already so late. It wouldn’t be safe for a girl to walk alone at night.”

nShe didn’t refuse a second time.

n

n

nWith a nod, the car started and cruised across the street.

nYao Tang’s expression was indifferent, as usual. Her back was slouched as she leaned forward, focusing on her phone.

nShe leaned against the car door with one hand on her phone. Her other hand, however, was resting on her lap. As the soft music played in the background, her fingers slowly tapped to the beat–something she didn’t notice.

nCheng Yan, however, couldn’t help but glance in surprise.

nWhat an interesting girl.

nEven if she didn’t realize it, she looked like she was playing the piano.

nA multitasker.

nInterested, he leaned forward. “You’re preparing to rent a house?”

n“Yeah.” She paused. “But the house I’m looking for isn’t easy to find.”

n“Oh? Why don’t you tell me what you like in a house?”

n“Big and peaceful, for one–no honking cars or bustling crowds,” she started. “I also want a balcony and a swimming pool. It should also be close to No. 1 High School.”

nAlthough it seemed simple, it was easier said than done. There was no such house around the area that fitted her descriptions.

nDespite this, Cheng Yan leaned back. “What a coincidence. I have a friend who’s renting out a house that might fit your needs. Why don’t I ask him for you?”

n

n

nShe blinked in surprise. “That would be nice. Thank you.”

n“I’ll need your number.”

nCheng Yan immediately took her contact information, and even added her on WeChat.

nYao Tang glanced at her screen. His name was H, and his profile picture looked to be a proud-looking cat. Not really minding as much, she clicked to accept and leaned back against her seat.

n“If you need any help, feel free to send me a message.”

nThis time, however, no one answered him.

n“Yao Tang?” He looked to the side, only to see that the girl had already drifted off to sleep with the phone in her arms.

nShe looked much softer in her sleep–more age-appropriate. Her loose hair strands fell to the sides of her cheeks, framing it so angelically that he couldn’t help but stare.

nShe really was asleep.

nWas the music that bad?

nOr was he too boring?

nCheng Yan stared at her, amused. “Turn down the volume,” he ordered the driver. “Also, turn up the air conditioner here.”
