I'm in Love Apartment, and the system is making me cultivate immortality.

Chapter 207 A Home Belonging Only to the Two of Us

Now that Nuolan has discovered it.

Gu Yifan decided to stop pretending and lay his cards on the table.

Yes, that's right!
He's a multi-millionaire now!

"Don't worry, sis. If you ever lose your job, I'll take care of you."

Gu Yifan patted his chest repeatedly, speaking with conviction.

Nuolan had a strange expression and raised her slender hand to touch Gu Yifan's cheek.

"You don't have a fever, have you had too much to drink?"

Gu Yifan: "."

What should I do if I have a sharp-tongued older sister?
Nuolan took Gu Yifan's phone and carefully looked at the bank deposit text message on it. The phone's dim light illuminated her stunningly beautiful face.

"How about that, sis? Aren't I amazing?" Gu Yifan joked.

For a moment, Nuolan remained silent, then raised her pretty face with concern, scrutinizing Gu Yifan with a strange look, without saying a word.

"What kind of look is that?"

Gu Yifan's blood pressure rose.

Having this shrewd and eccentric older sister can sometimes be so infuriating that it could cause a stroke.

Nuolan didn't speak, but raised her hand and placed it on Gu Yifan's face. The touch was soft and warm, and she sighed softly.

"Xiao Fan, thank you for your hard work!"

Just when Gu Yifan thought his sister had said something sensible, he heard Nuolan slowly finish her sentence.

"Wanyu didn't bully you, did she?"

Wait a minute, are these two sentences related?

It took Gu Yifan two seconds to understand Nuolan's meaning, combined with her pitying expression.

"."

Could she possibly think that this money was given to him by Wanyu?
"This money, you didn't sell it... oh, you gave it to your rich girlfriend to appease her, did you?"

Nolan muttered to herself, "Wait a minute, if she didn't bully you, why would she give you so much money? Could this be a breakup fee from the young lady?"

"No, who said Wanyu gave this to me? Besides, we haven't broken up." Gu Yifan broke free from Nuolan's small hand. "Can't I earn this myself?"

"cut."

Nuolan rolled her eyes and continued to look through Gu Yifan's text messages, but unfortunately, Gu Yifan had deleted all the text message records.

Nuolan muttered sullenly, "The little rascal is surprisingly clever."

"I learned it from you." Gu Yifan snatched the phone back, not wanting to talk to Nuolan.

Seeing Gu Yifan's sullen expression, Nuolan chuckled and tugged at Gu Yifan's hand, "Are you angry? I was just teasing you. You're so cute, you can't take it."

"You have insulted my character and dignity!" Gu Yifan put away his phone expressionlessly, strode forward, and left Nuolan with only the back of his head.

Only he could be so disrespectful to such a beautiful woman.

"Hey~"

Nuolan caught up with Gu Yifan, affectionately took his arm, rested her head on his shoulder, and said with a smile.

"I heard everything from Su Weiwei. But wasn't it four million? You've earned that much money in just one week?"

Nolan was very surprised when she learned that her silly younger brother had actually made money in the stock market.

However, these past two years have been a bull market.

Especially in Shanghai, the financial capital, even the old men sweeping the streets are talking about stocks, so Nolan wasn't particularly surprised.

Seeing that Gu Yifan did not reply, Nuolan bit her lip and quickly glanced at Gu Yifan's stern profile.

"Really angry?"

"Hmph." Gu Yifan protested with a nasal tone.

Nuolan thought for a moment, then unexpectedly tiptoed and gave Gu Yifan a light kiss on the cheek, feeling the soft, warm touch of his jelly-like red lips.

"Is this alright? Sister was wrong."

Nuolan was a petite and charming woman from Jiangnan, and her soft Wu dialect was even more captivating.

Gu Yifan shuddered.

Unable to maintain her anger any longer, she said guiltily, "Sis, what are you doing? What if someone sees us?"

"What's wrong with a sister kissing her adopted son-in-law?" Nuolan said dismissively, pulling Gu Yifan's arm even tighter.

She no longer wanted Gu Yifan to be her younger brother.

If we can't bind him with his status as his younger brother, then let's try something more radical.

The two were childhood sweethearts, and Gu Yifan lived at Nuolan's house, listening to Nuolan's words.

Wouldn't that be just like the child brides of the past?

No, he's a child groom!
The two walked hand in hand down the street on a summer night.

This scene had appeared in Nuolan's dreams countless times, and now it had finally become a reality.

The night is no longer lonely.

As they walked, Nuolan listened attentively to Gu Yifan's story: how he used the money left by his cheap father to start investing in stocks, focusing on the short term, and eventually accumulating so much money.

With the experience cards given to him by Lin's father, Gu Yifan was no longer a complete novice who knew nothing about finance, the stock market, or business management.

It was written in a very professional style.

Nuolan listened quietly, tilting her head to look at her younger brother's confident and radiant appearance, her eyes gradually becoming somewhat infatuated.

Xiao Fan seems to have really grown up; he's now a man who can shelter her from the wind and rain and hold up the sky for her.

“I’ve been working for so many years and I still don’t have much savings. You’re much better than me,” Nuolan said with a half-smile.

"Of course not, my sister will always be my sister~"

Gu Yifan, his survival instincts kicking in, chuckled and said, "I believe you will definitely become the most famous host in the future."

"From now on, people everywhere will know the name of the sweet goddess Nuolan."

"You're such a chatterbox!" Nuolan's mood brightened.

She thought for a moment, then hesitated and asked, "So... you still plan to invest this money in the stock market?"

Nuolan was certainly not after Gu Yifan's money.

To be honest, most of the people who have pursued Nuolan over the years are either very wealthy or young and promising, with some even worth hundreds of millions.

But Nolan didn't like any of them.

Because they don't like the real her.

It was just that polite, gentle, and intellectual radio host, Nuolan.

If you wear a mask for too long, it becomes difficult to take it off.

Nuolan would only sit down with a handful of close people, such as Su Weiwei and Gu Yifan.

Nuolan was genuinely happy for Gu Yifan when he made money, but she was also worried about it.

Young and ambitious, full of vigor and high spirits, they might just get carried away.

"I'll probably keep some of it and invest the rest in the stock market," Gu Yifan said casually.

Nolan nodded. "Actually, you could consider buying a house. House prices have been rising, so you can invest in some real estate while they're still relatively affordable."

Gu Yifan was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Nuolan to be so prescient.

Indeed, if you buy a few houses now, you can double or triple your investment in just a couple of years, or even more.

Gu Yifan nodded, "I understand, sister. You're worried I'll spend too much, right? Actually, it's fine. I didn't spend much money."

Gu Yifan doesn't smoke, and he only drinks a little at parties. He has no bad habits, so he doesn't spend much money.

"Besides, ten million is just a small amount, which is far from my small goal."

Nuolan glanced at Gu Yifan, thinking, "That little brat's got quite the big mouth."

You wouldn't even consider something worth ten million?

What is your small goal?

Gu Yifan smiled slightly, "One hundred million, that way I can give Wanyu an explanation."

When Wan Yu was mentioned, Nuolan's eyes dimmed slightly.

Her earlier smugness at her younger brother's success vanished instantly.

Yeah, that silly little brother hasn't broken up with that rich girl yet.

For the Lin Group, a mere ten million is about the same as one yuan in the eyes of an ordinary person.
But what about her if Gu Yifan and Lin Wanyu stay together until the end?
Nuolan was feeling down. She pursed her lips and pulled her arm away from Gu Yifan's.

"Then go ahead and make your 100 million."

That despicable woman, Su Weiwei, said she'd rather not have a title.

What era are we living in? As long as Gu Yifan still loves her, she can accept sharing Xiaofan with other women.

Ke Nuolan. She can't do it.

She wants someone who loves her wholeheartedly.

The kind of love that lasts a lifetime; if it's even a fraction of a second less, it doesn't count as a lifetime!
Gu Yifan paused, looking at Nuolan's somewhat lonely figure, and after thinking for a moment, he followed her.

"sister."

Nuolan threw a tantrum and shook off Gu Yifan's hand.

"Go hold your girlfriend's hand, why are you messing with your sister?" Nuolan's voice was aggrieved yet fierce, which was quite cute.

"Who says having a girlfriend means you can't hold your sister's hand?" Gu Yifan said dismissively, holding Nuolan's soft hand tightly once again.

Choosing to be a scumbag, but not a truly scumbag, is what makes someone the most hateful.

"I'll hold your hand."

Before Nuolan could shake them off again.

"When are you taking a break, sister?" Gu Yifan asked gently.

"what?"

Nuolan struggled symbolically for a moment, then softened and let Gu Yifan hold her little hand, but deliberately avoided looking at him.

"Let's go to the bank," Gu Yifan said.

"Why are you going to the bank?" Nuolan asked sullenly.
"Withdraw money."

Why do you need to withdraw money?

"Guess?" Gu Yifan wanted to make a joke, but seeing that Nuolan was getting impatient and trying to pull her hand away, he quickly grabbed her. "Just kidding, of course it's about looking at houses. I think you're right, we should buy some real estate first."

Gu Yifan said seriously, "Let's buy existing houses. Sister, whichever one you like, just put the cash on the table and let them count it."

Nolan, however, was not buying it. Her voice was cold, and she pouted.

"You still have dreams of achieving small goals, right? Go see for yourself, I'm not going."

"That won't do." Gu Yifan shook his head. "If you don't go, whose name will be on the property certificate?"

Nuolan was both annoyed and amused; what a silly little brother of hers!

"What? You gave Vivi a car, and now you want to compensate your sister with a house? Does your sister even want your house?"

Money is never the bond that holds two people together!

Nolan doesn't love money; she can earn it herself.

Could it be that she's like those vulgar girls who can be appeased with money when they're angry?
Nolan was even angrier.

Money, money, money!
Is it so great to be rich?
You think you can just steal someone else's brother who's been raised with so much hardship all these years?

Bah! Why should I?!
Nolan now deeply resents the wealthy.

"Sister, you've misunderstood." Gu Yifan shook his head and said seriously, "I was talking about our house."

"What do you mean, our house?"

Nuolan opened her mouth impatiently, but then her tone became hesitant.

"What do you mean?"

"Sis, your current apartment is too small and messy. You should move to a bigger one," Gu Yifan said, scratching his head. "Besides, I was already planning to buy a house anyway."

Well, Gu Yifan originally planned to buy an apartment in the complex. The location was excellent, so buying it would be a pure profit.

Nuolan's heart skipped a beat.

She admitted that she was indeed somewhat tempted.

Although she seems to be living a pretty comfortable life, with a good salary as a host and occasional additional activities to earn extra money.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to live in a nicely furnished apartment and drive a luxury car like a Maserati, even though part of it is funded by my mother.
But buying a house is still too early for Nuolan; it's just a pipe dream.

Nuolan actually has a deep attachment to home and security, which is why she wanted to persuade Gu Yifan to buy a house after learning that he had made money.

Of course, these are secondary.

The important thing is that it's 'our house'.

It's a home for her and Gu Yifan.

If the two of them could live under the same roof, perhaps they could return to the way they were before?

Gu Yifan shrugged. "Buy a bigger one, so we can all fit in. After all, I can't keep renting forever."

Well, that's a white lie.

At least for now, Gu Yifan has no plans to move out of Love Apartment.

"What about your girlfriend?" Nuolan didn't even want to mention Wanyu's name anymore, she asked suspiciously.

“Her father has prepared a house for her,” Gu Yifan replied. The villa that Lin’s father owns in Shanghai will definitely be given to his daughter.

Nolan was silent for a moment, then asked, "Will you be moving in too?"

"Hmm, I bought the house, so of course I'll live there. But I still have to go to school, so I won't live there all the time," Gu Yifan replied matter-of-factly.

Nuolan bit her lip again and couldn't help but ask, "So it's just you and me?"

"Hmm." Gu Yifan nodded, smiling as he asked, "Otherwise? Should we add Sister Weiwei?"

"No way!" Without even thinking, Nuolan immediately raised her eyebrows and glared. "You dare!"

The house that belongs to her and her brother can only belong to the two of them.

This was too tempting for Nolan.

"What if you kick your sister out?" Nuolan asked sullenly after a moment's thought.

"Your name is on the property certificate, who can kick you out?" Gu Yifan said with a smile.

"Besides, will I only own one house in the future, brother?"

"You're getting too cocky." Nuolan rolled her eyes at Gu Yifan, annoyed.

But her attitude was noticeably better than before.

Taking this opportunity, Gu Yifan asked softly, "So, sister, you agreed?"

"Oh, so you're buying a house for your sister? You wouldn't be thinking of keeping her as a mistress, would you?" Nuolan tilted her head and asked with a half-smile.

"At most, it's like keeping a mistress in a golden house," Gu Yifan replied.

Nolan thought for a moment, and finally nodded emphatically.

"Since you're so willing, then I'll reluctantly agree."

Gu Yifan smiled without saying a word.

Is it really something you're forced to do? Just see through it but don't say anything.

Nuolan blushed when Gu Yifan looked at her and quickly tried to prove herself.

"Don't think that I'm after your money for a wife. I'm just keeping an eye on it to prevent you from squandering it. The house will still be yours in the future."

"Mhm." Gu Yifan nodded perfunctorily, his smile a little sly.

The house belongs to him, so the people living in it should rightfully belong to him too.

Nuolan couldn't stand Gu Yifan's smug and obnoxious attitude, so she kicked his shin and said irritably.

"What are you standing there for? Go get a taxi, are you planning to walk back like this?"

"Got it."

Gu Yifan turned around and happily hailed a taxi.

I finally managed to appease Nuolan. Besides, buying a house would cost at least several million, right? Add to that the renovations, furniture, utilities, and so on.
Wow, how much rebate must that be?

Gu Yifan: I'm a fucking genius!

This way, he could appease Nuolan and also legitimately spend money on her, receiving rebates from the system – a win-win situation.

Looking at Gu Yifan's retreating figure, Nuolan's emotions were still not calm.

She finally understood. This silly younger brother seemed to have a lot of ambition.

However, Gu Yifan only gave Su Weiwei a car, but for her older sister, it was a home for the two of them.

Which is more important is self-evident.

[Next time I see Su Weiwei, I'll tell her about this and make that sly fox furious!]

On the taxi ride home.

Raindrops began to fall from the sky, gradually becoming denser, leaving water stains on the car window.

In the back row, Nuolan leaned against Gu Yifan's shoulder several times, but Gu Yifan remained unmoved.

"Ahem." Nuolan tried to remind him of something. Gu Yifan remained in a daze.

Seeing that Gu Yifan remained silent, Nuolan pouted, somewhat dissatisfied, and prepared to sit down next to him, putting some distance between them.

"Idiot! You're already so close, would it kill you to just lift your arm a little?"

At this moment, a subtle smile appeared on Gu Yifan's lips.

How come Nuolan is so sweet and gentle in front of outsiders, but when she's with me, she acts like a little child?
Gu Yifan grabbed Nuolan's arm, but she had already left, why would she obediently come back? Didn't Nuolan care about saving face?

Gu Yifan patted his shoulder again.

Nolan was finally satisfied, resting her head on Gu Yifan's shoulder and leaning half of her body into his arms.

Gu Yifan also placed his hand on Nuolan's thin shoulder.

Looking out the car window, I saw raindrops falling in dense patterns, filling the entire world, making even the streetlights appear hazy.

The heartstrings of the artistic young woman, Nuolan, were touched once again.

"Xiao Fan".

"Ok?"

Gu Yifan, who was sorting out today's system rewards and browsing the system store, looked up.

On her shoulder, Nuolan's pure and innocent almond-shaped eyes stared blankly out the car window, her wispy hair clinging to her sister's full, fair forehead, making her look incredibly charming.

It makes you want to protect her.

"what happened?"

"Can't you just stay with me all the time?" Nuolan's voice was tinged with resentment and grievance. "You promised your sister."

"I'm with you right now," Gu Yifan said with a smile, though he was still full of energy but also a little tired.

Nuolan glared at him and buried her pretty face in Gu Yifan's chest. "Idiot, I meant I only want to be with my sister."

Gu Yifan paused for a moment, then raised his hand and gently patted Nuolan's shoulder.

On the night of the typhoon, Nuolan was filled with regret, her eyes brimming with tears.

In the apartment room, she lay on his lap, her hair disheveled, exuding a captivating charm.

In the hospital, her eyes were filled with heartache, and she lost her composure and panicked as she gritted her teeth and cursed the male driver.
How could Gu Yifan not know Nuolan's feelings?

But he couldn't be her 'good younger brother' or her childhood sweetheart as she said, from childhood sweethearts to old age together.

"I will always stay with you, sister," Gu Yifan said softly.

Nuolan forced a smile, but felt dejected.

With her intelligence, how could she not know what her brother was hiding?

a long time.

Just when Gu Yifan thought Nuolan was about to fall asleep, he heard her whisper.

"When you're with me from now on, you're not allowed to mention any other girls, not a single one. You can only be my silly little brother, my one and only little rascal."

Gu Yifan lowered his head and met Nuolan's gaze.

The elder sister's almond-shaped eyes held a hint of resentment; this was the biggest concession Nuolan could offer.

"Okay," Gu Yifan agreed.

Nuolan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, snuggling close to Gu Yifan and saying nothing more.

She didn't want to think about what would happen in the future.

At least tonight, Nolan no longer felt the long, lonely night.
