Ye Fan's words made Mo Xiaoyan very unhappy.
Why can't it be that he likes me and therefore also likes my sister?
But upon closer thought, the fact that Ye Fan actually said he liked her made the little girl feel a bit joyous. Isn't this her brother-in-law confessing to her?
"Where's my sister? I'm going in to see her." Mo Xiaoyan said and tried to rush in to pester Lu Xiaoman. She wanted to see what her sister looked like when she was lazy and sloppy, but Ye Fan blocked her path.
Ye Fan said, "Your sister is not available right now."
"Hey, smelly brother-in-law, why are you blocking me from seeing my sister? Move aside, or I'll bite you," Mo Xiaoyan said with her hands on her hips.
"Bite me?" Ye Fan frowned.
"Don't believe me? Then try it out. My teeth have always been sharp!" Mo Xiaoyan said, grabbing Ye Fan's arm eager to bite down, but it was like biting into a steel plate, causing pain in her teeth.
At that moment, Lu Xiaoman came out from inside. Having heard that her sister wanted to come see her, Lu Xiaoman was scared and hurriedly put on clothes under the covers, pretending as if nothing had happened when she emerged.
Mo Xiaoyan pouted and glared at her sister, as if blaming Lu Xiaoman for not telling her that Ye Fan had come.
"Xiaoyan, your brother-in-law says that he'll take us to buy a new villa and we can move there. If you have time, would you like to come with us?" Lu Xiaoman said in a calm tone.
"I have nothing to do, really. Buying a house and just buying a villa? Brother-in-law, you truly are rich, huh? Did that Li Zhaojun keep you, and now you're using her money to keep my sister and me?" Mo Xiaoyan turned to glare at Ye Fan.
When it comes to issues with her brother-in-law, she's always contesting with Lu Xiaoman, but when it comes to external matters, she stands by Lu Xiaoman's side, full of hostility toward Li Zhaojun.
Ye Fan's face turned cold, and Lu Xiaoman scolded, "Xiaoyan, what are you talking about?"
"I'm not wrong, though. That Li Zhaojun naturally has a ton of money. Wasn't brother-in-law in the military before? Still worked under Li Zhaojun, with a position lower than sister's. How could he have much money?" Mo Xiaoyan continued to speak harshly.
Ye Fan said, "It seems you have no regard for my wealth. Then today, you can stay here, and I'll go out with your sister."
"No... don't. Actually, I'm kidding. Brother-in-law was in the military before, probably even in special forces. I don't know exactly, but I'd imagine... pretty impressive, right? Plus, brother-in-law's family background is strong, and he's cultivating immortality now, which is basically earth-shattering. What's a few bucks, right?" Mo Xiaoyan said with a flattering smile. "Right, sister?"
Lu Xiaoman looked at her sister with reproach. She was a somewhat insecure girl, afraid Ye Fan might abandon her. So, she was very careful with her words and actions not to damage their relationship by discussing issues concerning Li Zhaojun. Although she knew that the one constantly by Ye Fan's side was really Li Zhaojun, not her.
Upon exiting the house, Ye Fan had already called Sun Ning. Sun Ning personally drove down to pick him up, with guards in tow—three to five luxury cars in total.
"No need for such fanfare, we'll just take a cab. You can follow us instead," Ye Fan said.
Sun Ning reminded him, "Mr. Ye, under the Han Group, there are countless properties. You don't need to buy from outside. Whatever kind of residence you need, we can find it."
"It's different," Ye Fan said, walking along the neighborhood street with Lu Xiaoman and Mo Xiaoyan.
Lu Xiaoman clung happily to Ye Fan's arm, while Mo Xiaoyan followed behind, sulking.
Nonetheless, others who saw Lu Xiaoman and Mo Xiaoyan with their identically exquisite faces would take extra notice, with even older ladies clicking their tongues in amazement.
Meanwhile, Sun Ning had the driver take the car out of the neighborhood first, opting to walk behind so Ye Fan could give instructions at any time.

...
Ye Fan and the sisters Lu Xiaoman and Mo Xiaoyan were out for over three hours, visiting several villas guided by agents, for Lu Xiaoman to select one.
In his mind, Ye Fan felt some guilt toward Lu Xiaoman. On Earth, he could legally marry only one wife, Li Zhaojun. Even though he could give Lu Xiaoman a title in the Pan Gu secret realm, it was no replacement. He needed to ensure Lu Xiaoman's happiness, letting her enjoy the upcoming centuries under his care, possibly even helping her achieve immortality.
But as of now, Ye Fan hadn't achieved the cultivation needed for ascension, so he dared not make any unrealistic promises to Lu Xiaoman.
This time upon returning, Ye Fan was ready to officially marry Li Zhaojun. After that, the two of them would no longer simply have the title of husband and wife without living as such, allowing him finally to possess Li Zhaojun, heaven's favored daughter. Conversely, he also wanted to ensure Lu Xiaoman felt content, subsequently taking her for the first visit to the Pan Gu secret realm to temporarily set up a home there. It's an ideal place for her to continue cultivation, rather than being stagnant as now.
Regarding buying a villa, Ye Fan was the big customer, with purchases ranging from tens of millions to billions, warranting attentive service from the agent team, who provided exclusive transport and showcased multiple villas, leading Lu Xiaoman eventually to pick one.
This place wasn't bustling but very serene with well-managed greenery. It had just two floors, no swimming pool, but it was tastefully arranged, and the price wasn't too high.
Yet even so, Lu Xiaoman seemed quite apologetic, "Ye Fan, is it too expensive? I think our previous place is just fine."
"Don't say silly things. Finding a place you like makes it easier for me to visit you," Ye Fan smiled.
The nearby agent, a woman, curiously observed the twin sisters and the man purchasing the villa. From the start, she had an idea that Ye Fan was keeping a pair of sisters on the side, hence the villa and sports car purchases.
But upon closer inspection, the man was quite young actually, possessing a demeanor and dressed quite plainly, unlike someone fond of flaunting wealth. Behind him was a woman in professional attire, appearing very professional, and her words clearly reflected formal training devoid of emotional expression.
"This is it," Ye Fan approached the female agent, saying, "We should meet the homeowner directly to finalize the paperwork."
"And you are Mr. Ye? Are you... certain about such a quick decision? No need to rush; take more time to consider," the female agent was worried Ye Fan was being too hasty, fearing a dispute after signing the sales contract.
All this while, Mo Xiaoyan was fuming, and now she snapped, "My brother-in-law has plenty of money. Are you worried he can't afford it?"
The female agent glanced at Mo Xiaoyan, inwardly amused, realizing why there was no chemistry with Mr. Ye; turns out she's the sister-in-law. The sisters looked identical, but he chose your sister, not you, so there's a hint of jealousy, right?
"Xiaoyan, don't speak recklessly," Lu Xiaoman said with a sisterly bearing even outside.
Ye Fan laughed, "Actually, Xiaoyan has a point. I do have a bit of money now. Miss Chu, just treat me as a nouveau riche. Even if the purchase isn't great, I won't have buyer's remorse, especially since it's a gift for my wife."
Hearing Ye Fan refer to her as "my wife," touched Lu Xiaoman deeply, her gaze upon Ye Fan glistened tearily.
