My girlfriend isn't as cute as me.

Lin Jiu followed Wang Yuting to the new house for a look. It was indeed a spacious house, and the design style was very similar to their current home. Notably, the kitchen had been completely upgraded, which greatly appealed to Lin Jiu. He no longer had to worry about bumping into things when turning around. While the previous kitchen was nice, it was too cramped, and he couldn't upgrade to a larger oven. Lin Jiu's goal was to make large cakes at home, the kind only found in bakeries, and the new kitchen fulfilled his wish.

The new house is on a high floor with a large balcony, excellent natural light, and good ventilation, so it's not hot in summer or cold in winter.

The living room is twice the size of the original house, so you don't have to worry about bumping into things if you want to play Ring Fit Adventure or some VR games.

There are three rooms. Lin Jiu and Wang Yuting plan to share one room. One room will be used as a study for now, and the other will be reserved for the child. Once the child grows up, they will be moved to sleep alone and will not be allowed to stay together.

This is not good for the child's education.

Lin Jiu had a vague premonition.

"Then, please sign here."

The property management staff said with a smile.

This is a real achievement, and not just any ordinary achievement!

Based on today's sales results alone, her year-end bonus is already guaranteed.

The property manager was grateful to Sister Shuhui, as this opportunity had been given to her by Sister Shuhui.

The property management staff couldn't help but want to pay their respects to this beautiful woman who paid the full amount upfront for her apartment.

She's beautiful, kind-hearted, and rich. I wonder what kind of husband such a beauty will find in the future. Probably a domineering CEO or something? Or a big star? Oh no, I've been reading too many urban novels while slacking off at work lately, and my brain is about to have a problem.

"Jiu'er, come over here for an autograph."

Wang Yuting signed her name on the purchase contract and then turned around and called out.

Lin Jiu came out of the bathroom. He had just glanced at it and thought the bathtub was amazing. Even Wang Yuting's long legs could stretch out comfortably without worrying about her toes poking into it. It also had a backrest and pillows, automatic water temperature adjustment, and a timer function. He could set the timer to heat the water before leaving home and take a comfortable bath when he got back.

This is just too convenient!

The problem is that it always feels dangerous to use electricity when no one is home.

Lin Jiu was lost in beautiful daydreams about the future and drifted through the night in a daze.

"what's wrong?"

"sign."

"Oh."

Lin Jiu took the pen, looked at the purchase contract, and was just about to sign it when she realized the problem.

"No, no, no, if I sign this, the house will be mine."

Lin Jiu knew Wang Yuting had already paid and didn't need him to contribute. In fact, even if she wanted Lin Jiu to pay, he wouldn't have the money. He had even used an advance from his salary at the Tea Cat Cafe to buy Wang Yuting an engagement ring. Even a one-bedroom apartment here would require Lin Jiu to work like crazy for fifty years under Ye Yue to afford a single bathroom—that was the reality.

Mingyuexuan Residential Area is located in a prime location in the Special Economic Zone, and it's also in a good school district, meaning children can attend the best primary and middle schools in the future. Lin Jiu didn't dare to calculate all of this, fearing that his Dao Heart would collapse if he did, something he couldn't bear at his age.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Wang Yuting looked at Lin Jiu with a puzzled expression, raised her hand and poked his cheek, saying, "Of course this house belongs to you. You're my future husband, it's just a house. Don't forget, even I belong to you. My body, my spirit, and all those beautiful things, they all belong to you." Wang Yuting paused slightly, looked at Lin Jiu with a wistful gaze, and muttered, "Or is it that in your eyes, I'm not even worth as much as a house?"

"You are the most important."

Lin Jiu said without hesitation.

Is there even a question? Compared to a wife, a house is nothing!

Having a wife like that is worth more than a thousand pieces of gold. Where does this dilapidated house get the confidence to compare itself to my Yuting?

Lin Jiu signed his name on the purchase contract with an air of authority and handed the pen back to the bewildered property management lady.

Seeing the other person standing there in a daze, Lin Jiu politely asked, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine! I've never felt so good!" the property manager shouted back.

This feeling wasn't just about successfully selling the most expensive house in the neighborhood, but also about witnessing an incredible couple.

Whether it's a domineering CEO or a big star, they are all beautiful fantasies to her, but she actually prefers the combination of the older sister and the cute little boy. They are the treasures of humanity, the most perfect couple in the world.

"You must be happy!"

The property management staff member held back her tears and offered her blessings to Lin Jiu and Wang Yuting.

"I will make her happy."

Lin Jiu answered naturally.

This is a confidence that comes from the heart; it's not about what he will do, but that he is already doing it.

Lin Jiu's presence in Wang Yuting's life is a blessing for Wang Yuting, and what Lin Jiu is doing is making her even happier.

Wang Yuting doesn't want anyone but Lin Jiu.

Chapter 432 Time Frozen in Time

"Today is my last day working here. Thank you all for your continued support and care."

Lin Jiu gave his colleagues at the Tea Cat Cafe a farewell gift: homemade cookies that were a big hit at the cafe. After moving into his new home with Yu Ting, the spacious and clean kitchen gave Lin Jiu an unprecedented burst of energy, often leading him to cook too much. Since he and Yu Ting couldn't finish it all, they would share it with Aunt Shu Hui and the other colleagues at the cafe.

"Although we haven't known each other for very long, you'll always be a reliable junior in my heart. You're welcome to come to the shop often in the future." Ling Lin accepted the pastries Lin Jiu offered, trying his best to appear mature, yet he couldn't help feeling a little sad. Having spent so much time with Lin Jiu recently, Ling Lin had long since considered him a friend, and would occasionally invite Lin Jiu to his home. His house was really big, and after playing around, he would come to the shop for a meal.

Unfortunately, Lin Jiu never went to his house.

It wasn't that Lin Jiu didn't want to go, but he couldn't leave the pregnant woman alone at home.

This explanation is reasonable, well-founded, and convincing.

When Ling Lin first heard that Lin Jiu was going to be a father, he was completely stunned.

Ling Lin was older than Lin Jiu and was her senior, yet Lin Jiu already had a child before he even had a girlfriend. Ling Lin stood there stunned for a long time before reacting, observing Lin Jiu's expression and cautiously offering his blessings. He only felt relieved after seeing Lin Jiu happily accept his blessing. Perhaps the child's birth was an accident, but Lin Jiu seemed very happy.

This is a good thing, all of this is a good thing.

"I'll come when I have time."

Lin Jiu got a membership card from Ye Yue, which gave him a 50% discount on all purchases at the store.

When Hazuki handed over the membership card, she acted as if she had suffered a huge loss, clutching the end of the card tightly and refusing to let go.

Lin Jiu was somewhat amused and exasperated. Whenever Yu Ting and Ying Ying came to the store, Ye Yue usually paid, refusing to charge them. This sometimes made Yu Ting unhappy; she wasn't there to take advantage of her friends, which was why Lin Jiu asked for a membership card. The store did have membership cards, but they typically offered discounts of 20% or 30% to other customers, while Wang Yu Ting's membership card offered a 50% discount.

This is probably proof of a good relationship, right?

The friendship between girls is hard to fathom.

Lin Jiu glanced at Ling Lin, thinking that friendships between boys didn't seem reliable either.

Because Lin Jiu had tricked Ling Lin so many times, Ling Lin never noticed and even happily approached him. Sometimes, Lin Jiu would deliberately make Ling Lin angry, and afterwards, he would prepare some chocolate cookies for Ling Lin to eat, and he would happily forgive Lin Jiu.

Lin Jiu roughly understood why the store's regular customers liked to bully Ling Lin. This kid had a natural charm that could make the men around him run wild... no, it was the men around him who made him run wild.

"It's so great that you're a boy."

Lin Jiu patted Ling Lin's shoulder heavily.

If Ling Lin were a girl, she might attract more scumbags with ill intentions, right?

"Ha, it's too late to realize how outstanding my senior is now."

Ling Lin said with a hint of smugness, feeling quite elated.

Looking at his innocent and childlike senior, Lin Jiu once again felt that it was fortunate that his senior was a boy, otherwise he probably wouldn't have grown this big. He could probably be tricked by bad guys with just two ice creams... No, is two ice creams too much of an overestimation? Maybe he should just reduce it to a small pudding. His intelligence is only worth a small pudding.

"Lin Jiu, I wish you success in your studies!"

The maid Lin Ya-yin outside offered her blessings to Lin Jiu.

"You should get along well with your girlfriend."

Another maid, Chen Xiaoqing, teased Lin Jiu.

If Wang Yuting had a game status bar, she'd probably see the title "Queen of Ten Thousand Females" above her head, a title reserved for women. For the past two months, she'd frequently accompanied Lin Jiu to the Tea Cat Cafe, staying until Lin Jiu finished get off work. Many female customers were attracted to Wang Yuting's aura, admiring her and coming to the cafe just to catch a glimpse of her.

When Wang Yuting was working at the mall, she gained countless female fans, and even a fan club.

Chen Xiaoqing, working at the Tea Cat Cafe, was captivated by Wang Yuting's gentle smile and polite thanks when she handed her coffee, becoming a devoted fan and viewing her with idol-like eyes every time she saw her. In her eyes, even when Wang Yuting was giving Lin Jiu a silly, infatuated smile, she was still so noble, elegant, and otherworldly.

After hearing that Wang Yuting was pregnant, Chen Xiaoqing volunteered to help Lin Jiu with chores, hoping that Lin Jiu would have the energy to take care of Wang Yuting after get off work. Chen Xiaoqing's feelings for Wang Yuting were always admiration; she had no other intentions. Such thoughts would be disrespectful to Wang Yuting. Anyone with eyes could see how deep Wang Yuting's feelings for Lin Jiu were. Anyone who tried to interfere in their relationship would only humiliate themselves; quietly enjoying their relationship was the best course of action.

Lin Jiu thanked the two women and accepted their kindness.

"Brother Feng, I'm grateful for your help the other day."

Without Xu Yufeng's help, Lin Jiu would have needed to spend a long time figuring out what to do about the engagement ring. The jewelry store Xu Yufeng recommended was indeed excellent; the ring Lin Jiu chose received great approval from Wang Yuting, who couldn't help but wear it every day at home. Wang Yuting only took it off when showering and sleeping, and would often look down at the ring and smile while playing games, which relieved Lin Jiu.

It's so great to have bought an engagement ring.

Wang Yuting is also a first-time mother, so she must feel uneasy.

Although Lin Jiu didn't present the engagement ring at the most romantic moment, his actions made Wang Yuting feel at ease.

"I'm glad I can help."

Xu Yufeng smiled politely.

As expected of the only housekeeper at TeaCat Cafe, she exudes confidence when she speaks, and her smile is as warm as a spring breeze.

"I hope we'll have the chance to work together again in the future. Even if we're in different places, keep up the good work." Xu Yufeng gently patted Lin Jiu's shoulder, like an elder giving encouragement and advice to a younger person. "You're about to enter a tough but sweet period. You'll feel pressure in every aspect of life. You have to hold on, but don't push yourself too hard. Just let me know if you need any help."

Xu Yufeng is the only married person in this store, so his words carry more weight.

“Yes, come to us if you have any problems.” Ling Lin slipped over from the side to offer Lin Jiu support, while glancing at Xu Yufeng. “Remember what you just said. If you can’t hold on, just let us know, we’ll support you.”

Lin Jiu blinked, looked at Xu Yufeng, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm going to be a dad too."

Xu Yufeng said with some pride.

Lin Jiu looked at the smile on his face and couldn't help but smile along.

"congratulations."

Lin Jiu had heard Ling Lin tell her about the story of Xu Yufeng and Liu Xinran.

Given Liu Xinran's physical condition, it must have been a very difficult thing for her to conceive.

These two have already endured a lot of hardship, and Lin Jiu sincerely wishes them a happy and fulfilling life together until they grow old.

Please don't let them go through any more painful things, really, or I'm going to send them razor blades.

Lin Jiu raised his head and sensed the aura of a knife in the darkness.
