Jinyu Huafu.
A 280㎡ luxury flat?
And it comes with two parking spaces and five years of paid property management fees?
What the hell!
System, you're way too generous, aren't you?
You know, Jinyu Huafu is one of the most famous developments in Shanghai, with a price of 80,000 yuan per square meter.
For this flat, converting it to cash, that's over 20 million yuan!
System!
I seriously love you!
"Xiao Fei…"
"What are you grinning about like an idiot?"
Seeing Xiao Fei gripping the steering wheel and smiling stupidly, Tang Yuxin couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Nothing, nothing…"
Just then, the red light at the intersection turned green.
Xiao Fei turned the car onto another road without hesitation.
"Hey, you're going the wrong way."
"The park is straight ahead, isn't it?"
Tang Yuxin hurriedly reminded him.
"Nope, this is the right road."
Xiao Fei smiled mysteriously and said, "I got you a gift. Taking you there to see it now."
"A gift?"
"What gift?"
Tang Yuxin asked curiously.
Xiao Fei didn't say a word, simply throwing her a cryptic smile.
From the look on his face, he was clearly planning a surprise.
"What exactly is it?"
"Why are you being so mysterious?"
Tang Yuxin muttered softly but chose not to pursue any further questions.
"You'll know once we get there."
Xiao Fei chuckled before driving further down the road.
Jinyu Huafu, situated along the Huangpu River, is prime real estate and one of the most luxurious neighborhoods in Shanghai.
Shanghai Jiao Tong University is about ten kilometers away from the river.
If you take the subway, it'll take over 20 minutes.
Right now, it's rush hour.
The traffic is terrible.
Xiao Fei drove for roughly half an hour before arriving at the entrance to Jinyu Huafu with his family.
Since his vehicle wasn't registered, the security guard naturally wouldn't let Xiao Fei through.
"Honey, check the glove compartment. There's a document folder inside."
"Take it out for me."
"Oh!"
Tang Yuxin opened the glove compartment and indeed found a brown document pouch inside.
She handed the pouch over to Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei took it, tore it open, and checked inside.
It contained a property deed, purchase contract, keys, access cards—everything you'd expect.
Xiao Fei pulled out an access card and showed it to the security guard.
The moment the guard saw the card, he immediately saluted Xiao Fei respectfully.
"Welcome home, sir!"
Then, the barrier at the entrance slowly lifted.
Xiao Fei drove his Land Rover Defender into the neighborhood, carrying Tang Yuxin and three other family members.
"Xiao… Xiao Fei…"
Hearing what the security guard had just said, Tang Yuxin was stunned.
She stared at Xiao Fei in disbelief, her lips trembling as she asked, "What… What did that guard mean by 'welcome home'?"
"Exactly what you're thinking."
Xiao Fei handed the brown document pouch to her.
Tang Yuxin accepted the pouch and saw a property deed inside.
When she opened it and read the deed, she saw Xiao Fei's name prominently displayed on it.
Not only that, but the property size listed was over 280㎡.
She was utterly speechless at this revelation.
This was a property located along the Huangpu River!
Each square meter costs at least 80,000 yuan.
"Xiao Fei…"
"How much did you spend to buy this flat?"
Tang Yuxin swallowed hard, her eyes wide as she looked at Xiao Fei.
"Oh, this flat…"
Xiao Fei smiled.
He wanted to say that he spent nothing.
But Tang Yuxin definitely wouldn't believe him.
So, he smiled and said, "Not much, just a little over 20 million…"
"???"
20 million, and you call that not much?
Even though she had already guessed the flat must be worth a fortune!
When Tang Yuxin heard Xiao Fei say the exact number, she still couldn't help but be shocked!
After all, we're talking about 20 million!
As a university professor, Tang Yuxin was considered upper-middle class in society.
Even so, her monthly salary was less than 20,000 yuan.
With an annual income of about 200,000 yuan.
If she didn't spend a single penny, it would still take 100 years to afford a flat like this.
Thinking about it...
Tang Yuxin's gaze toward Xiao Fei was now brimming with curiosity.
"Xiao Fei…"
"Be honest with me. What does your family actually do?"
Hearing this, Xiao Fei froze for a moment.
He thought about it and figured there wasn't much point in hiding it.
After all, they were about to meet the parents soon, so letting Tang Yuxin know a bit about his family wouldn't be a bad idea.
"My family is pretty normal."
"My dad works for a state-owned company, and my mom is a housewife."
"This flat, I bought it with my own efforts. It has nothing to do with my parents."
With your own efforts?
Tang Yuxin looked at Xiao Fei with admiration!
But soon, another thought crossed her mind, and her brows furrowed.
A flat over 20 million.
The mortgage on that must be astronomical!
Xiao Fei must be under a lot of pressure, right?
"Xiao Fei, maybe we should just return the property."
"A place like this—the mortgage must be terrifying. Plus, we've got three kids to raise."
Seeing Tang Yuxin's worried expression.
Xiao Fei chuckled helplessly and said, "This flat, I paid for it in full. No mortgage!"
"What?!"
A flat worth over 20 million.
You paid for it in full?!
Tang Yuxin stared at Xiao Fei like he was a mythical being.
But the property deed was right there, with Xiao Fei's name on it—there was no room for doubt.
"Xiao Fei, don't do something stupid."
"I don't mind toughing it out with the kids, but…"
They reached the underground parking lot.
Tang Yuxin still looked uneasy.
She didn't want Xiao Fei to burden himself with huge financial risks because of her.
Xiao Fei parked the car, turned around, and held Tang Yuxin's hands firmly.
"Honey, relax. I didn't do anything stupid."
"At first, I made over 100,000 by writing a novel."
"Then I used that money to invest in the stock market and slowly built up a fund."
At this point, Xiao Fei paused and jokingly added:
"After painstakingly saving up 20 million, I splurged it all on this flat. Now, my wallet is completely empty."
"So honey, you'd better take care of me from now on!"
Seeing Xiao Fei acting playful, Tang Yuxin couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Okay, just relax and enjoy our new home."
"Once we meet the parents, I'll make sure to add your name to the property deed."
Hearing this, Tang Yuxin was deeply touched.
She didn't care whether her name was on the deed.
But the fact that Xiao Fei suggested it on his own showed she was deeply important to him.
"Thank you, Xiao Fei…"
"Thank you for being so good to me!"
Xiao Fei smirked mischievously, leaned close to Tang Yuxin's ear, and whispered, "Honey, how are you planning to thank me tonight?"
Hearing this, Tang Yuxin's face instantly turned red.
"Ugh, you're so annoying! Can't you be serious for once?"
Tang Yuxin gave Xiao Fei a playful glare.
Then she opened the car door, stepped outside with her long, slender legs, and walked ahead gracefully.
Watching Tang Yuxin's elegant figure as she walked away, a mischievous smile spread across Xiao Fei's face.
In his heart, he thought:
Tonight, I'm definitely going to make it happen!
