Upon seeing the floor plan, Ye Li found it hard to look away. The house was truly amazing, with three bedrooms, one living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, plus a spacious kitchen, bathroom, and even balcony.

Ever since she was young, she had dreamed of having a big house of her own, where she would live with a lover who shared her heart and mind.

For some reason, while looking at this floor plan, an incredibly beautiful scene suddenly appeared in her mind.

On the spacious balcony, a few pots of lush green plants emitted a subtle, pleasant fragrance, while Chu Ge lay on a wicker chair beside a small table with a cup of fragrant tea, steam rising gently.

The sunset's afterglow streamed through the window, casting a serene glow on Chu Ge's profile. She walked softly to the balcony and covered Chu Ge with a thin blanket. Chu Ge awoke from his nap, gently touched her cheek, and then they interlocked their fingers, smiling at each other.

Moreover, the name of the community was perfect: Baihao Garden. Doesn't that just imply "a century of harmony"?

Lost in her thoughts, Ye Li became a bit dazed until Chu Ge's inquiring voice suddenly broke her beautiful fantasy.

"It seems like you think it's not bad?"

"Uh, yes, it is quite nice, really nice."

Ye Li replied flusteredly, feeling her face blush and heart race, as if caught in the act of doing something wrong by Chu Ge, not even daring to meet his gaze.

Chu Ge lifted the corners of his mouth; from Ye Li's expression, he could tell she was extremely satisfied with the house.

This house was prepared for Ye Li from the start, and since she liked it so much, he turned to Xiao Zhang, "Miss, could you show me the house?"

Xiao Zhang was keeping an ear out for the happenings upstairs, inwardly cursing those two people hoping they wouldn't buy the house. Suddenly hearing Chu Ge's voice, she reflexively asked, "What?"

Chu Ge didn't blame her distraction, just smiled gently, "I said I wanted to see this house, would that be convenient?"

This time, Xiao Zhang clearly heard Chu Ge. A surge of immense joy rose in her heart, but her happiness soon turned to doubt. The house was over 130 square meters; could these two really afford it? Would she end up being happy for nothing?

Just then, footsteps were heard descending the stairs, and soon the two people who had been taken upstairs earlier appeared, along with the sales lady, Cui Yue, walking down.

Eh? They're back so soon; looks like the deal wasn't made? Hahaha, serves them right!

Feeling schadenfreude, Xiao Zhang temporarily suppressed her worries, quickly nodding to Chu Ge, "Of course, absolutely, I'll grab the keys and take both of you to see it right away."

Xiao Zhang spoke a bit louder, making sure Cui Yue could hear her clearly. She intended to annoy Cui Yue deliberately, prompting her to stop flaunting and bullying her, thinking she could judge people at a glance. Hmph, her clients were about to view the house, perhaps they'd buy it immediately!

After speaking, Xiao Zhang glanced at the floor plan, seemingly confirming the house's location, when in fact she was trying to provoke Cui Yue further by clearly stating the building, unit, and room number. Then, she gestured "please" to Chu Ge and Ye Li, exuding far more enthusiasm than before.

Seeing Xiao Zhang act this way, Chu Ge couldn't help but chuckle; this girl was quite petty, wasn't she?

While Chu Ge was feeling amused, upstairs, Cui Yue and that couple frowned.

"Wait." Cui Yue's voice came from the stairway.

Though Xiao Zhang knew the voice was directed at her, she was now stubbornly pretending not to hear, continuing her way forward.

Cui Yue quickly walked down the stairs, blocking Xiao Zhang's path, "I called you to wait, didn't you hear?"

Xiao Zhang felt a surge of annoyance, "Cui, I'm taking clients to see the house. Whatever you have to say, can we deal with it when I get back?"

Cui Yue glanced at Chu Ge with a cursory look, nearly dismissive, and said, "Sorry, could you wait a moment," then gave Xiao Zhang an eye signal far from friendly, heading to the side.

Although Xiao Zhang felt even more aggrieved, she couldn't openly challenge Cui Yue; she unwillingly followed her to the side.

The couple coming out of the VIP reception room upstairs gave Chu Ge and Ye Li a disdainful glance, then sat down with their legs crossed, full of superiority.

This time, Chu Ge wasn't pleased.

He could overlook the sales lady's lack of enthusiasm toward them, seeing they dressed modestly, making them wait in the downstairs hall while the well-dressed couple was taken to the VIP room upstairs. He could overlook that too.

But giving him this runaround just as he was about to view and possibly purchase a house seemed a bit out of line, didn't it?

Chu Ge pulled Ye Li to a seat, wanting to see what these people were up to.

In just a few minutes, the Zhang who previously introduced the house to him came over with a grim expression.

"Sir, ma'am, I'm sorry, there's something I wasn't aware of earlier. The house has already been reserved, so I can't take you to see it. Could you both please consider other houses?"

Zhang still wasn't sure if Chu Ge was really going to buy the house, but her tone revealed immense frustration and embarrassment.

Hearing this, Chu Ge laughed, though there was a noticeable hint of coldness in his smile.

This kind of excuse might fool a three-year-old, but trying to fool him, Chu Ge? Did they underestimate his intelligence?

Even thinking with his toes, he knew that the couple who came down from the VIP lounge also wanted that house and were trying to intervene.

"Miss, is this how you do business? Shouldn't there be some order of priority in matters like this? Do you even believe what you're saying?"

Zhang looked even more aggrieved. She didn't want this either; selling a 130-square-meter house would mean a hefty commission.

As Chu Ge was speaking, the couple had already stood up, and upon hearing his words, the man glanced at Chu Ge dismissively, snorting with a thick sense of superiority and disdain.

Initially, Chu Ge was already displeased, and now faced with such a provocative look, he felt even more upset, and his expression darkened, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Ye Li had seen Chu Ge in action before, and seeing the current expression on his face, she felt a pang of fear, worried Chu Ge might do something impulsive. Since the other party was so arrogant, they must have a reason to be.

Out of concern for Chu Ge, Ye Li quickly tugged at his hand and whispered, "Brother Chu, let it go, let's pick another one. That one doesn't have that great a layout anyway, and it's so expensive."

Chu Ge frowned slightly. Ye Li was too soft-hearted; she clearly liked that house so much but still made peace to avoid causing trouble for him.

However, considering Ye Li's intentions, Chu Ge finally decided not to dwell on the matter. After all, there were plenty of good houses and it wasn't necessary to buy this one.

Yet, just as he was about to let it go, someone made a snarky remark.

"Miao Bro, listen, someone says the house you chose has a bad layout. Isn't that questioning your taste?"

The man called Miao scoffed, "Why bother with them? Sour grapes for those who can't get the grapes. And... isn't the main issue the price? Some people, even if you hand them the grapes, would nibble them bit by bit, taking decades until the grapes go stale and rotting."

The woman immediately giggled, coquettishly saying, "Then I'll listen to Miao Bro and not stoop to their level. Let's go, let's check out the house."

For a moment, Chu Ge felt truly disgusted. What were these two up to?

It would be one thing to have lost the house to them, but even when ignoring them, they kept pushing, right?

Not only did Chu Ge think this way, but even Ye Li, with a reddening face, was also infuriated by their words.

Yet, Chu Ge put on a brilliantly radiant smile, blocking the couple's path with a couple of steps and scratching his head, "From what I hear, you feel justified in stealing my house?"

Miao Yusong looked at Chu Ge with disdain, "Your house? Have you paid?"

Chu Ge chuckled, "Then, have you paid?"

Miao Yusong stared directly at Chu Ge, raising his chin, "I'll pay right after I check it out, full payment, what's it to you? You got an issue?"

Chu Ge beamed wider, casually pulling out a bank card he just deposited funds into, "What if I pay in full right now?"

Miao Yusong was momentarily stunned. Judging by their clothes, he hadn't thought that Chu Ge and Ye Li looked like they could outright buy a hundred square meter house. That's why he made such a mean comment earlier, truly not expecting Chu Ge to say such a thing now.

Not only Miao Yusong, but even Ye Li and the others in the sales hall did not see it coming, yet seeing Chu Ge's determined demeanor and having pulled out the bank card, it seemed clear he wasn't bluffing.

At this moment, Miao Yusong was truly in a tight spot, but with his woman beside him and so many eyes all around, he certainly didn't want to lose face.

After a few seconds passed, Miao Yusong scoffed, "You pay in full, I'll add another hundred thousand! Are you still buying it? Hmm?"
