"By the way, isn't your home nearby?" Ye Zhi asked, "Shall we go pay a visit?"
"No need, my parents are currently abroad and haven't returned yet," Qi Xuan replied.
"Alright then," Ye Zhi nodded, "We'll do it next time."
The matter of buying a house and moving couldn't be explained clearly over the phone. Ye Zhi intended to discuss it with her parents in person, so she decided to go back specifically tomorrow.
Afterwards, the two returned to the villa on the mountain together.
As soon as Qi Xuan got home, he received a call from Cheng Yi.
"Son! The butler told me you're with Ye Zhi? Is it true?" Cheng Yi said happily, "Your father and I just returned from abroad, why don't we come over first and meet our future daughter-in-law?"
Qi Xuan was speechless, "...Don't you even look at the time?"
"That's true," Cheng Yi said with regret, then she said gleefully, "How about this, you take some time off and bring Ye Zhi back for a visit, I'll give her a big red envelope..."
"Mom," Qi Xuan interrupted her with some helplessness, "Ah Zhi and I just got together, we're not at that stage yet."
Cheng Yi immediately became unhappy, "What? You're unwilling?"
"Of course I'm willing," Qi Xuan said calmly, "But feelings are between two people, and both must be willing. Ah Zhi and I are very familiar, but our relationship has always been that of friends. She's never thought of me as a partner. Please give her time.
If you have me bring her home like this, how will she feel? Will she think we completely disregard her opinion, plan to get engaged tomorrow, get married the day after, and have children the following year, with two more in the next three years?
You'll scare her like this. Her life has never been about marriage or love."
Cheng Yi was stunned. Actually, when she heard that Qi Xuan had finally broken the ice, she was very happy, but also very worried.
She was very worried that Ye Zhi would find her son boring. But now it seemed, she should be more worried that her son was too considerate, excessively considerate at that!
"Then I miss Ye Zhi, and I want to see her, is that not allowed?" Cheng Yi said a little unhappily.
"If you want to see her, you can come over anytime," Qi Xuan smiled faintly, "Ah Zhi really likes you, and this is her territory. She'll be very happy if you come. However, you've just returned from abroad, it's best to go home with Dad and get a good night's sleep to adjust to the time difference."
"Fine, fine..." Cheng Yi complained with a hint of grievance, "Oh dear, my son has grown up and is already taken. He's only just started dating, and you're completely on Ye Zhi's side now."
"Because you are my parents," Qi Xuan chuckled, "We can communicate about anything, even if we argue. But if we don't communicate clearly and Ah Zhi misunderstands, it will only put pressure on her, and that will be my fault."
"Alright, alright, I know you dote on your wife. From now on, we'll all listen to your command, is that good enough?" Cheng Yi yawned, "I've found a diamond necklace, not too expensive, just tens of millions. You pay for it."
Qi Xuan: "...Okay."
For him, problems that could be solved with money were not problems at all.
Hearing his reply, Cheng Yi happily hung up the phone.

The next day, Ye Zhi returned to the Ye family.
She told her parents about looking at houses and explained the reasons. They didn't have any objections.
Then, they went to see the houses together. Ye Yongxian and Liu Lingyu both liked them very much, and they booked them on the spot.
As for the renovation, Ye Zhi also handed it over to the two of them. After all, they would be living in this house, so the renovation style should naturally be according to their preferences.
Coincidentally, Taoxun Games' renovation simulator began its publicity. Ye Zhi directly had someone design a virtual house based on the architectural design of this house and gave Liu Lingyu a special edition of the game's Jinshi Home Furnishings. Liu Lingyu was completely captivated by this little renovation game, neglecting meals and sleep, playing with renovations all day.
Not only that, but Taoxun Games' promotional video, showcasing its prowess, stunned countless people. After all, who wouldn't want to own their own house and then decorate it according to their favorite style?
Many people exclaimed that as expected of Taoxun, every time they made a move, they could perfectly capture people's hearts.
Of course, more people were anxiously waiting to know when Taoxun's new "pie" would be released.
Taoxun also gave a response, stating that the official game would be launched after the new year. Currently, the Jinshi Home Furnishings experience stores had a special early access version of the game, but in the special edition, only furniture and appliances from Jinshi Home Furnishings were available for selection.
Instantly, many people flocked to the offline stores of Jinshi Home Furnishings. Whether they bought furniture or not was another matter, but they definitely had to experience the game.
Soon, all the offline stores of Jinshi Home Furnishings were completely packed.
Jin Kaiyuan was also very business-minded. He naturally knew that these people might not be here to buy their furniture and appliances, but rather to play the game. However, as long as they came, they would definitely consider Jinshi Home Furnishings first when they needed something in the future.
Therefore, Jin Kaiyuan set up a row of computers specifically for game experience in each offline store, and also stipulated that each person's experience time could not exceed twenty minutes per day, and each experience required taking a number and waiting in line.
Of course, those waiting in line didn't need to stay in one place. They could wander freely within Jinshi Home Furnishings. When the time came, the system would automatically call the numbers.
To prevent these customers from getting bored while waiting, Jin Kaiyuan also had people set up special corners inside the stores, providing drinks, fried skewers, and various snacks, freshly bought and made.
Instantly, the internet was filled with rave reviews for Jinshi Home Furnishings. Even some people who waited in line all day without being able to experience the game would praise that Jinshi Home Furnishings' fried chicken cutlets were particularly delicious.
Now that they had gained reputation and earned money, Jin Kaiyuan was overjoyed.
He immediately discussed a new cooperation plan with Ye Zhi. Subsequently, the official account of Jinshi Home Furnishings released a new announcement: anyone who purchased smart home appliances from Jinshi Home Furnishings would receive a free copy of the game upon its launch.
Suddenly, the customer traffic for Jinshi Home Furnishings increased even more.
Buying smart home appliances and getting a game?
This was truly an unexpected path! But they wanted it!
The explosive popularity of Jinshi Home Furnishings made the other brands envious. Of course, they also saw the business opportunity.
Instantly, many calls were made to Taoxun, inquiring about how to cooperate with Taoxun.
They also really wanted the special edition of Jinshi Home Furnishings' renovation game!
Faced with so many brands willing to spend money, Feng Jie and Shi Fan were both happy and impressed. As expected of President Ye!
