A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

[Ding! You have successfully dispelled your parents' doubts. They have sensed your growth. Mission complete!]

[Reward: 60000 yuan!]

Lu Yang looked at the reward amount and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

I gave my parents 50,000, and now the system has given me an extra 10,000!

However, the focus this time wasn't on the money, but rather that his parents finally stopped suspecting he was involved in a pyramid scheme.

This is more important than anything else.

As Lu Yang said goodbye to his parents and went downstairs, Li Xixue had already rolled down the car window, with one fair arm draped over the window frame and her fingertips rhythmically tapping the edge of the window.

At this moment, she had transformed from the gentle and virtuous woman she had been just moments before into a cold and aloof female CEO.

Lu Yang opened the passenger door and got in.

"Tell me, what role do you want me to play this time?"

Li Xixue didn't rush to answer. She drove the car off the road and onto the main road before speaking.

"I'm not acting."

"Not performing?"

Lu Yang glanced at her, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Then why did you come all this way?"

"I can't go back home."

"So... what does this have to do with me?"

Li Xixue took a deep breath, gripped the steering wheel tightly, and said three words as if she had used all her strength: "Live together."

"?"

Lu Yang was stunned.

What the heck?

Perhaps he was too surprised, he felt he had misheard.

"What?"

"Live together."

Li Xixue repeated it again, her face slightly flushed.

Lu Yang's expression went from confusion to utter bewilderment in less than three seconds.

"No, sister, are you crazy? Our marriage was an accident, it was fake, do you understand?"

"The marriage certificate is real."

"That doesn't mean they can live together! Don't you know there's a difference between men and women?"

Li Xixue stepped on the brake and waited for the red light.

She turned to look at Lu Yang, her gaze sweeping over him from head to toe.

Do you think I would take advantage of you?

"That's not what I meant."

"Then why are you panicking?"

Lu Yang opened his mouth, but for a moment he was speechless.

Li Xixue coldly added, "If we're talking about who's at a disadvantage, it's clearly me. You're a grown man living with me, and I don't even feel that way, but you're unhappy about it?"

These words left Lu Yang speechless.

Lu Yang thought about it from a different perspective and said, "If you can't go home, why don't you just find a hotel to stay in? You're so rich, finding a five-star hotel is a piece of cake, isn't it?"

"You think I don't want to?"

Li Xixue's tone carried a hint of helplessness: "My mom has blocked all the places I can stay outside. Hotels? She has her assistant monitor my credit card spending records, and as soon as I book a hotel, she shows up there."

"Can't I stay at the company?" Lu Yang continued to ask.

Li Xixue became increasingly angry as she spoke, "She called the company's front desk directly and said she would cut off the company's power if I stayed overnight at the company."

After listening, Lu Yang remained silent for a long time.

This mother-in-law's execution is amazing!

Lu Yang leaned back in his seat and stared at the roof of the car for several seconds.

"Has your mother retired?"

"no."

"Where does she get so much energy to do all this?"

"She devoted all her energy to me."

After saying this, Li Xixue turned the steering wheel and the car turned into another street.

The center is lined with high-rise residential buildings on both sides. The further you go in, the newer the buildings become and the denser the greenery.

Lu Yang glanced out the car window.

He recognized this area; it was one of the most central and expensive residential areas in the city.

The housing development that caused such a stir in the real estate industry last year had an average price of 100,000 yuan per square meter.

"Living here?"

"Yes, my mom bought it."

Li Xixue said, "She said this house was originally prepared as my wedding home, and now it's perfect to use it."

Lu Yang swallowed hard.

Marriage room?

Every word the woman spoke reminded him that his world was far removed from hers, by more than one galaxy.

The car turned into the underground parking garage, and Li Xixue parked it.

The two remained seated in the car without moving.

Are you going or not?

Li Xixue's cheeks flushed slightly, but she still spoke first.

Lu Yang rubbed his face, his mind racing.

Going there seems inappropriate no matter how you look at it.

Let's not go...

Before he could even think it through, a series of system voices rang in his mind.

[Ding! Mission issued: To maintain a good relationship with your wife, please sleep under the same roof.]

No?

System, are you crazy?!

Lu Yang stood frozen in place, dumbfounded.

Sleeping under the same roof?

This damn system is trying to make me do dangerous things!

Back to reality, Lu Yang said righteously, "Living together is fine, but I have one condition."

"explain."

"Sleep in separate rooms."

Li Xixue looked at Lu Yang as if he were an idiot, her expression conveying the message: What are you thinking?

"A 320-square-meter house with five bedrooms, do you think I'd let you sleep in the same room as me?"

Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

wrong……

and many more.

He suddenly realized that something was wrong.

A 320-square-meter single-level apartment?

Based on the average price of 100,000 yuan per square meter in this area, that's a whopping 30 million yuan!

The two took the elevator from the underground parking garage upstairs, and Li Xixue pressed the button for the 26th floor.

This is the prime floor in this building.

The elevator doors opened, revealing a spacious corridor with warm yellow lighting. There were only two apartments on the entire floor.

Li Xixue went in directly by pressing her fingerprint.

As soon as the door opened, Lu Yang stood in the doorway, stunned.

It's not that I don't want to go in, it's that I'm scared.

What does 320 square meters mean?

His house, which is over 100 square meters, could fit five people inside and still have room to spare.

The living room has a ceiling height of over four meters, and the floor-to-ceiling windows directly face the city center's night view.

It's worth noting that this floor also boasts a view that's priceless even in the city center.

At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind...

Sister, I don't want to try anymore.

Li Xixue changed into a pair of pink slippers, then turned to look at Lu Yang standing at the door.

"Are you planning to stand there all night?"

Lu Yang snapped out of his daze and changed into a pair of clean slippers before going inside.

Stepping on the floor, the feel of that solid wood was completely different from the concrete floor of my dorm room.

He walked around the living room and then went to the balcony to take a look.

"How much does this house cost?"

Why are you asking this?

"Just curious."

Li Xixue thought for a moment and casually said, "My mom bought it for over 50 million."

Lu Yang paused for a moment.

More than 50 million...

His initial investment for opening the milk tea shop was seventy to eighty thousand yuan.

Forget it, forget it. The more I think about it, the more upset I get.

"Your room is over there."

Li Xixue pointed to a bedroom at the end of the corridor.

"Everything you need is here. The sheets and duvet cover are new, and the towels and toothbrush are in the bathroom cabinet."

Lu Yang pushed open the door and took a look.

The room is quite large, I estimate it's over 50 square meters, and the windows face south, so it gets good natural light.

The key point is that it's bigger than his living room!

You have to understand, he had been sleeping in a bunk bed in the dormitory for almost a year, and he couldn't get used to it so quickly.

"What's wrong?"

Li Xixue walked over and saw Lu Yang in a daze.

"fine."

Lu Yang touched the mattress and said, "I just feel that this bed is a little bit better than the one in my dorm."

"There's something else."

Li Xixue frowned, hugging her heaving chest with both arms:

"My mom will be here in a bit, so remember to be careful what you say."
