Lu Wenyin's mother, with a stiff face, scolded her daughter, "You two are really something! You even bought a house. If your father and I had delayed coming home a few more years, would we have had to hold our grandson already? Where is your house?"
Lu Wenyin replied in a low voice, "No. 64 Fitzroy Road!"
This time, even Lu Wenyin's father was taken aback and exclaimed, "No. 64 Fitzroy Road? The old villa district? I don't remember there being any new developments there!"
Lu Wenyin coughed and slowly said, "There are no new constructions there. It's one of the old villas, a bit larger than our house."
Lu Wenyin's parents were completely stunned. They were successful in business and knew very well what Fitzroy Road was like. They had considered buying an old villa there, but they couldn't come up with the funds. Although their assets were substantial, worth over a hundred million, it was still a stretch to casually take out tens of millions to buy a house. Moreover, their business circles, while high-end, were not at the top, so they couldn't find a way to purchase a property there.
Lu Wenyin's father tugged at his wife's sleeve and then smiled faintly, saying to his daughter and Ning Yue, "I haven't had the chance to see the old villas there. Why don't you let me and your mother take a look?"
Lu Wenyin obediently nodded, and Ning Yue, of course, said nothing, just stood up and led the way.
When Lu Wenyin's mother saw the car Ning Yue drove and the driver, her eyes softened. The Mercedes-Maybach 92 had ample space, and Ning Yue invited the three of them to ride in it. After about ten minutes, the four of them arrived at Fitzroy Road.
When Ning Yue's car stopped at No. 64, Lu Wenyin's father's eyes were already slightly off. His gaze towards Ning Yue was now tinged with a bit of fear. He was a discerning person and knew that just this villa alone was worth about half of his net worth. Ning Yue had casually given it to his daughter to make Lu Wenyin happy, which clearly showed that Ning Yue's wealth and status far exceeded his imagination.
Especially when Lu Wenyin's father hesitated and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this place Mr. Ma's private club?"
Ning Yue was a bit surprised but quickly understood. Given Lu Wenyin's father's position in the business world, it wasn't surprising that he had some connections with Ma Yuan. He smiled and said, "It was sold to me by Ma Yuan!"
Lu Wenyin's parents immediately straightened their backs, not to show off their strength, but to show respect.
On the way, Lu Wenyin tightly held Ning Yue's hand, her palm sweating, clearly very nervous. Ning Yue never let go, and at this moment, he held Lu Wenyin's hand and led her parents into the old villa.
The interior was, of course, luxuriously decorated. Lu Wenyin's father was still somewhat reserved, but her mother was already moving in and out of each room, asking questions. Ning Yue, holding Lu Wenyin's hand, answered each one.
In less than half an hour, the tense and accusatory atmosphere turned into a joyful one. Lu Wenyin's mother's eyes were full of smiles, and her questions to Ning Yue were filled with care, no longer aggressive.
When Lu Wenyin took her parents to the garden to look at the scenery, she found an excuse to distance herself from them and asked in a low voice, "Do you think my parents are materialistic?"
Ning Yue lowered his voice and replied, "Don't you think I'm also quite materialistic? Today, I deliberately put on a show. Usually, I look like a good boy, don't I?"
Lu Wenyin thought about Ning Yue's usual behavior and couldn't help but laugh, her worries finally dissipating.
Ning Yue held Lu Wenyin's hand and accompanied her parents in the garden for a while before suggesting they get something to eat. Lu Wenyin wanted to go to the kitchen but was pulled back by her mother, who told her to stay with Ning Yue while she went to cook.
Lu Wenyin's mother was quite skilled in the kitchen, and the meal was enjoyed by all. After the meal, Lu Wenyin's parents stayed for a short while before finding an excuse to leave, even leaving Lu Wenyin behind. It was clear they had already accepted that she could stay as long as she liked, and as for whether Ning Yue would also stay, they pretended not to notice.
The departure of the two elders made Ning Yue breathe a sigh of relief. He shrugged and smiled at Lu Wenyin, "I handled it decently, right?"
Lu Wenyin nodded and then said, "I'm becoming more and more curious about you. What kind of person are you? I really want to know more of your secrets!"
Ning Yue smiled and said, "I'll give you the chance!"
Ning Yue chatted with Lu Wenyin for a while and then suggested they watch a new movie for entertainment. Lu Wenyin was delighted, and they prepared some snacks, red wine, mixed drinks, ice cubes, and even a pillow. They then went down to the basement screening room.
This time, Ning Yue chose a fantasy blockbuster called "Limitless Warrior." This movie had almost no plot, just a series of cool action scenes and stunning visuals. The most remarkable thing was that it was purely domestic and was promoted as having special effects on par with Hollywood blockbusters and a storyline surpassing Bollywood. Before its release, it received rave reviews on various film review websites, and after its release, it broke box office records continuously. In just over ten days, it had become the top-grossing film nationwide and continued to set new records.
Ning Yue had originally planned to watch this movie in the cinema, but due to his busy schedule, he never had the chance until it was off the screens.
So, he took the opportunity to watch "Limitless Warrior" with Lu Wenyin, enjoying it to the fullest.
When Ning Yue set up the movie and started the machine, a flash of light appeared on the screen, followed by an explosive soundtrack. A teenager, about sixteen or seventeen, was dancing to the music. On his desk, a miniature plant with numerous bean-like pods was also dancing. When the teenager turned his head, the plant suddenly expanded, its branches intertwining to form a comical ghost face.
The teenager let out a scream as the plant shot out a bean-like pod, which hit his nose hard, causing him to lie back in tears. The pod then sprouted countless fine roots, which entered the teenager's nostrils.
