Chapter 13

It seems there's only a difference of about 200 votes to make it to the homepage's new book chart. Brothers and sisters, let's put in more effort and throw in a few more recommendation votes to get our monster-hunting squad to the top of the homepage!

Liu Menglong felt that the past few days were the darkest and lowest point of his life. He had spent over ten thousand yuan, given up the chance to enjoy the summer lantern festival, and even had to act as a driver and laborer to help the Yue sisters move. He believed that the god of misfortune must have been envious of his smooth sailing for the past twenty years, and thus punished him with all these misfortunes.

At least, that's what Liu Menglong thought.

"Wow! Big brother, your house is so beautiful!" Yue Xi exclaimed in awe at the three-story luxury villa. "There's even a fountain, how extravagant!"

"It's okay," Liu Menglong said, carrying the luggage to the door and taking out the keys. "This isn't extravagant; the ones with swimming pools at the back are the real deal."

"For me, this is already the life of a wealthy landlord." Yue Xi ran to the fountain, took off her sandals, and immersed her white, tender feet in the water. "Wow! So comfortable."

Yue Chang blinked and walked to the fountain, cupping the cool spring water in her hands and splashing it on her cheeks. "So comfortable."

Liu Menglong opened the door and said, "There are empty rooms on the first and second floors, you can choose any. Just to be clear, I won't charge you for food and accommodation, but you can't avoid doing housework, or I'll deduct money from you."

Liu Menglong recently learned that the Yue sisters' parents had divorced two years ago and were both busy with their careers abroad. The sisters were each given to one parent, but they refused to live apart and stubbornly stayed in Longcheng, living together since they were fourteen. Fortunately, their parents were quite generous and provided them with a monthly living allowance, so while their lives were somewhat complicated, they were financially well-off.

Earlier, Yue Chang and Yue Xi had called their parents to inform them of the situation, but both parents said they were busy with work and couldn't return to the country for the time being.

With no other choice, they decided on a compromise. The sisters gave Liu Menglong their bank account numbers, and each parent transferred 50,000 RMB to Liu Menglong's account. With this 100,000 RMB, all problems were solved.

Yue Chang and Yue Xi planned to stay in Tianfu for half a month and then return to Longcheng. Of course, they had already called the bank customer service to report their cards lost and would handle the necessary procedures and reissue the documents upon their return to Longcheng.

"Still have to do housework?" Yue Xi's face fell, and she kicked her feet in the water. "Can't I skip it? I'm a housework idiot."

"Then did you live in a pigsty or a doghouse for the past two years?"

"Ugh! You live in a pigsty! You live in a doghouse!" Yue Xi pulled her feet out of the water, put on her shoes, and hugged Yue Chang from behind, flicking her ponytail and smugly saying, "I have Chang Chang, who is a housework expert. She does all the housework."

"Then what do you do?" Liu Menglong pushed the door open and turned on the living room light.

"Me?" Yue Xi pulled her luggage over, grinning. "If I tell you, you'll be scared. I'm a top-notch cook, especially with beef stewed with potatoes, which Chang Chang loves."

"Oh?" This was quite surprising; the wild girl Yue Xi actually had cooking skills. "If that's the case, the cooking will be your responsibility from now on."

"No problem, leave it to me." Entering the living room, Yue Xi's big eyes sparkled. "Wow! So big!"

Liu Menglong smiled slightly, took a few cans of iced tea from the fridge, and threw one to Yue Xi. "Your family is quite wealthy, right? Why didn't you buy a big house?"

"Longcheng's housing prices are too high." Yue Xi caught the iced tea, thanked him, and said, "Actually, our house isn't small either; it's over 100 square meters and in the second ring."

"Oh? That's not bad." Liu Menglong handed the other two cans to Nalan Ruyue and Yue Chang. "With this house, you won't have to worry about food and shelter for the rest of your lives."

"Compared to big brother, we're far behind." Yue Xi looked around the villa's living room, liking it more and more. "This villa is really beautiful; it must be worth a lot, right?"

"It's okay." Liu Menglong sat on the sofa and took a sip of iced tea. "Last year, someone offered 60 million RMB for our villa, but I refused."

"60 million!?" Yue Xi and Yue Chang were astonished. The villa looked to be only about 200 square meters, with three floors, a garage, and a garden fountain, but 60 million seemed excessive.

"So expensive?" This price was comparable to houses in the second ring of Longcheng.

"Do you know why it's so expensive?" Liu Menglong smiled.

Yue Xi shook her head.

"Because the people living here are either rich or powerful." Liu Menglong said casually and dismissively. "The housing prices in this area are usually around 30,000 to 40,000 RMB per square meter, but the connections here can't be bought with money. If you go outside early in the morning, most of the elderly people exercising are retired officials, and a few are the fathers of local tycoons. If you can connect with them, the benefits would be more than just a few million."

"That's really a Chinese characteristic." Yue Xi nodded, gulping down the iced tea and exhaling a refreshing breath. "So refreshing! Let's pick rooms!"

Watching Yue Xi dart around like a happy fawn between the first and second floors, Liu Menglong smiled and turned to Yue Chang. "You should pick a room too!"

"No need." Yue Chang gave Liu Menglong her signature soft smile. "I always sleep in the same room as Xi Xi; let her pick."

"Is that a twin habit?" Liu Menglong asked, as many twins share a room and a bed.

"At least it's a habit for Xi Xi and me." Yue Chang stuck out her tongue, her signature smile always so adorable.

By the time Yue Xi had chosen a room and organized her luggage, it was already past 8 PM. Yue Xi picked a room on the first floor, while Nalan Ruyue had chosen a room on the second floor in the morning, and Liu Menglong slept on the third floor, so now each floor had someone living in it.

"It's quite late, go to bed early!" Seeing the Yue sisters finish organizing their rooms, Liu Menglong rubbed his eyes. He had drunk more than half of the bottle of aged wine, and the alcohol was making him drowsy. "There's bread and ham in the fridge; don't go rummaging around if you get hungry at midnight."

"Got it, thanks, big brother." Yue Xi made a face and stuck out her tongue. "So naggy."

"Xi Xi!" Yue Chang scolded, apologizing for her. "Big brother, please don't mind."

"It's fine." Liu Menglong waved his hand. "Go to bed early! Good night."

"Good night, big brother."

Leaving the Yue sisters' room, Liu Menglong turned off the living room lights and went to the second floor. Nalan Ruyue's door was open, and Liu Menglong walked to the door, seeing Nalan Ruyue changing clothes.

Liu Menglong's eyes widened as Nalan Ruyue, just having taken off her pink bra, turned to grab a nightgown and saw Liu Menglong staring at her with wide eyes.

Without the expected covering or screaming, Nalan Ruyue reacted as usual, blinking and gesturing to Liu Menglong with her hands: Why don't you come in?

"Uh..." Liu Menglong, slightly drunk, walked in, closing the door behind him, his eyes fixed on Nalan Ruyue's 36C, which was white, full, and smooth, like a jade rabbit, with two pink cherries that were quite tempting, making Liu Menglong feel a strong urge to taste them.

Nalan Ruyue seemed unconcerned by Liu Menglong's gaze and naturally put on her pink nightgown. The nightgown was somewhat transparent, revealing the pinkness of her chest and the white cotton panties between her legs.

A hint of confusion flashed in Liu Menglong's eyes. "Do you usually change clothes like this at home?"

Nalan Ruyue turned to look at him, blinking curiously.

"I mean..." Liu Menglong pointed to her nightgown. "Aren't you afraid of being seen while changing?"

Nalan Ruyue was even more curious, gesturing with her hands: Why be afraid?

"I really don't know what kind of family you came from." Liu Menglong shook his head and then said seriously, "Listen, never change clothes in front of men. A woman's body is sacred and should not be easily exposed to the opposite sex, unless that man is your husband, understand?"

Nalan Ruyue blinked, seeming to understand, and her fair face turned red. She gestured with her hands: Only the husband can see?

Liu Menglong nodded. "Yes, only your husband can see, no other men."

Nalan Ruyue's face turned even redder, and her eyes sparkled as she slowly gestured: Since you saw my body just now, will you be my husband from now on?
