Su Yang turned and walked to the driver's side, pulling the car door open and settling into the seat.
"Finished your call?" Pan Ning asked from the back.
"Yep, all done."
"Good, let's go then."
"Let's go home!!"
Vroom!
With a low growl from the engine, Su Yang turned the car around and headed back the way they came.
Several dozen minutes later, the car entered the city limits. Su Yang glanced in the rearview mirror and asked, "You two sure you don’t want to go home?"
Meng Qianyu leaned forward from the backseat, resting her arms on the headrest with a grin. "Nope, we’re going to check out your new place~"
Su Yang chuckled and nodded. "Alright. By the way, haven’t you been away for days? Won’t your parents mind you not coming home?"
Meng Qianyu shook her head. "Why would they? I’ve been raised pretty freely since I was a kid. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have stayed abroad alone for so long."
She paused briefly before adding, "My dad’s always busy, hardly ever home. Mom has her own circle—always traveling with her girlfriends. She’ll probably take off again in a couple of days."
"Lucky you," Su Yang said with a wry smile.
"What’s so lucky about it? As long as I don’t go back, they won’t bother me. But if I do and Mom’s around, she’ll just nag me nonstop. So annoying."
Su Yang shook his head with a quiet laugh. "Alright then, let’s head to my place. Though there’s probably not much to do—it’s a new house, barely anything inside. Still missing a lot of stuff."
"No worries! We’ll help you pick things out," Meng Qianyu said cheerfully.
"Sure, let’s take a look first."
About ten minutes later, Su Yang drove up to the grand entrance of Nanyang·Jingyu Terrace.
He’d already registered his license plates with the property management, so the barrier arm automatically lifted as they approached.
A 60-inch LCD screen beside the barrier displayed Su Yang’s car details along with a welcome message: Welcome home, esteemed resident of Jingyu Terrace!
Su Yang glanced at the screen with a faint smile as the car rolled through the gates.
This was his first time visiting since the villa became move-in ready, so he wasn’t entirely familiar with the internal roads yet.
Fortunately, the signage within the villa complex was well-designed, with clear directions for all four zones.
Past the entrance, three paths branched out—straight ahead, left, and right—all interconnected within the estate.
Su Yang’s villa was in the Jingcheng Zone. After turning right at the entrance, he followed a gently sloping hillside road for about three to four minutes before arriving at his destination.
Soon, they pulled up to the front of Villa No. 06, a standalone property nestled halfway up the hill.
Most villas in the Jingcheng Zone were built along the natural contours of the terrain, resulting in staggered elevations that gave the area a picturesque, layered look.
Su Yang parked the car and grinned. "We’re here. Time to get out."
"Woohoo! Su Yang, your new place is gorgeous~"
"Right? And the view’s amazing too."
"Totally! I love it~"
"Is there anything you don’t love?" Su Yang teased.
After stepping out of the car, Pan Ning supported Meng Qianyu from behind while Su Yang walked ahead to unlock the villa’s front door.
The entrance featured a multifunctional smart lock. Su Yang tapped the screen, which lit up to display his handsome face.
With a soft click, the massive pivot door slowly swung open.
"Nice, it’s automated," Su Yang remarked, admiring the three-meter-tall door.
[Ding. Detecting host’s elevated mood—enjoying the first villa he can call his own. Reward: 2 million.]
—Not bad~
"Su Yang, come carry Qianyu," Pan Ning called from behind.
"Huh?" He turned to see the two still standing at the base of the steps.
With a resigned smile, he walked back, turned around, and let the giggling Meng Qianyu climb onto his back.
"Let’s go."
The trio soon stepped inside. Su Yang reached for a switch near the door with one hand while balancing Meng Qianyu, and the door slowly closed behind them.
Resting her chin on his shoulder, Meng Qianyu asked, "Su Yang, are we the first guests in your new home?"
He laughed. "Yep. Hell, I’m technically the first one here too—this is my first proper visit."
As they chatted, they crossed the spacious front yard and reached the main entrance.
After a brief inspection, Su Yang opened the door and led them inside, still carrying Meng Qianyu.
"Wow, your house is stunning," she marveled, craning her neck to take in every corner.
Su Yang set her down gently on the living room sofa.
"I need to explore too—still unfamiliar with most of it."
"I’ll join you. Qianyu, stay put and rest here," Pan Ning said.
Meng Qianyu nodded. "Okay~"
Su Yang and Pan Ning then toured every area of the villa—each floor, the front and back yards—methodically inspecting everything.
By the end, Su Yang noticed an issue.
While the villa came mostly furnished, it lacked countless essentials.
Kitchenware, groceries, toiletries, drinks… the list went on.
Right now, the villa was just a flawless shell—everything needed for daily living still had to be bought.
And the shopping list was long.
But he’d already drafted a rough plan.
For the living room, he wanted a PS5—something to enjoy alone or with friends.
The open space between the living and dining areas was perfect for a piano, especially since the system had just rewarded him with a new skill: Master of Instruments.
Maybe something like Flight of the Bumblebee to set the mood…
Upstairs, there was a smaller, bedless room—ideal for his dream gaming setup.
Most guys would jump at the chance to build their own gaming den, and now he had the perfect blank canvas.
Returning to the sofa, Su Yang noticed the empty countertop above the bar.
"Seriously? My place at Shenhai Manor even had a coffee machine. This huge villa doesn’t?"
Pan Ning smiled. "This is already great. Most villas require full renovations—yours is move-in ready."
Su Yang grinned. "Fine, guess I’m buying a coffee machine too."
"So what’s on your shopping list?"
He thought for a moment. "A ton. Right now, the house has furniture and nothing else. Food, drinks, toiletries, entertainment—all of it."
Pan Ning leaned back. "Make a list, and I’ll help you shop."
Meng Qianyu also raised her hand and exclaimed, "Me too!!"
