Chapter 120

120 Peaceful
The price that Xiang Yin quoted was beyond Gu Man’s expectations.
She had specially learned about the prices of the houses here. 10 million yuan for a big house was really worth it.
Xiang Yin said leisurely, “My friend doesn’t lack money.”
Alright, rich people were so willful!
Gu Man did not even blink. “Then let’s sign the contract today.”
Gu Man was worried that his friend might go back on his word with such a good price. She wanted to seize the opportunity quickly because she might not be presented with such a good opportunity again.
When he saw that Gu Man spent 10 million without even batting an eye, Xiang Yin thought to himself, “Looks like she’s a rich lady.”
Although he knew that Old Master Cui had given her ten million yuan in the ghost market, if Gu Man only had this little money, she would definitely not dare to buy this house.
Xiang Yin deliberately suggested, “You don’t have to look at the others and compare them?”
“There’s no need to compare. I’m just afraid that this cooked duck will fly away tomorrow,” Gu Man said bluntly.
Xiang Yin laughed out loud. “Good eyesight.”
Gu Man was surprised to see Xiang Yin smiling so happily. This was the first time she had seen Xiang Yin smile like this after interacting with him for so long. He was usually serious. Even if he smiled, the corners of his lips only curled up slightly.
It was only when Xiang Yin spoke again that he interrupted Gu Man’s surprise. Xiang Yin asked, “The house is under your name?”
“Yes.”
“Then I’ll get someone to bring the contract over. You can sign it later.” With that, Xiang Yin walked out of the balcony to make a call.
Gu Man walked around the house and looked at it carefully. It was 200 square meters and had all the furniture present. Grandma and Uncle could just move in with their bags.
And those decorative accessories were low-key and luxurious. It seemed like Xiang Yin’s friend had good taste.
When Xiang Yin entered, he saw Gu Man observing him with her hands behind her back. She looked very satisfied.
Xiang Yin teased, “You’re only checking so carefully now. You can’t go back on your word even if you see a problem.”
Gu Man replied without looking up, “I’m admiring it now.”
“How is it?”
“The owner has good taste.”
Xiang Yin smiled and his mood inexplicably improved.
“There’s still half an hour before the contract can be brought over. Do you want to eat something first?”
“Okay.”
“What do you want to eat? I have ingredients upstairs. We can cook a simple dinner.”
“You know how to cook?” Gu Man asked in surprise.
A young master like Xiang Yin actually knew how to cook?
“A little.” Seeing Gu Man’s disbelieving gaze, Xiang Yin felt a little helpless.
It seemed like he had to show off his skills. Otherwise, Gu Man would look down on him.
When she reached the fourth floor, Gu Man realized that the decorations on these two floors were somewhat similar, but the layout was slightly different.
“Your taste is very similar to your friend’s,” Gu Man couldn’t help but say.
Xiang Yin was stunned for a moment, but he didn’t show it on his face. “Really? Maybe birds of a feather flock together.”
When Gu Man saw the kitchen, she couldn’t help but ask, “What do you want to cook later?”
Seeing that Gu Man had changed the topic, Xiang Yin was relieved.
Xiang Yin walked to the kitchen, opened the fridge, and asked, “Do you want to eat Western or Chinese food?”
Gu Man was surprised. Was Xiang Yin good at cooking both Chinese and Western food?
Seeing that Xiang Yin had the fridge door open, Gu Man couldn’t help but move closer to look at the ingredients in the fridge with him.
“Let’s have a simpler Western meal.” Gu Man reached out and pulled a white Tupperware box with the label “Argentina Beef”.
“Let me.” Xiang Yin also reached out to pull the Tupperware box. His fingertips touched the back of Gu Man’s hand. Under the slightly cold refrigerator air, Gu Man actually felt the warmth coming from Xiang Yin’s fingertips.
Gu Man’s hand trembled slightly.
Xiang Yin said as if nothing had happened, “Then we’ll sear the beef and make some salad. Help me get an onion. It’s on your right hand.”
“Okay.”
After taking out some ingredients, Gu Man asked, “Do you need my help?”
Xiang Yin thought for a moment and looked at the vegetables before saying, “Then I’ll help me pick out some purple kale, beets, and lettuce to see if they’re bad.”
Actually, these vegetables had all been selected and sent over fresh. There was no need to choose anymore, but Xiang Yin felt that it did not feel bad to cook with Gu Man.
The two of them did not speak and quietly did the work on hand. For a moment, it felt like they had lived a peaceful life.
Xiang Yin marinated the beef and cut open the onions. In a moment of carelessness, a spicy smell rushed into his eyes. He blinked and said, “Get me a tissue. The onions are burning my eyes.”
