Chapter 194: What decent person carries that kind of thing around!
Growing up in absolute pampering and luxury, the young lady evidently believed that any normal household should come equipped with a private KTV and a private cinema.
Otherwise, could that even be called a home?
That single rhetorical question completely shattered Lin Yu’s psychological defenses.
It seemed the young lady hadn't changed all that much after all...
In the future, he would have to take her out more often to experience the hustle and bustle of ordinary life and feel what it was like to live as an everyday person.
"I rarely come to this villa; usually, it's just looked after by a live-in housekeeper who handles the cleaning. I was thinking of turning the third-floor room into a private cinema or a musical instrument collection room. What do you personally think?"
Ji Ya's sudden question caught Lin Yu off guard.
He didn't quite understand it.
This was her own home; why was she asking him how to decorate it?
Could it be that she was already assuming he would be the master of the house in the future?
However, the main point was...
Remodeling a room into a musical instrument collection room...
Well...
Just as expected.
An ordinary person truly could not imagine the joys of the wealthy!!
The gap between them truly seemed like an uncrossable chasm!
Huh?
Wait a minute, thinking about it carefully, something wasn't right!
Gap or no gap.
As long as the wealthy benefactor liked him, she would give him whatever she wanted. Did it matter whether he had money himself? After all, nobody could possibly be richer than her anyway!
The important thing was knowing how to please the wealthy benefactor, wasn't it?
Wasn't this long-term meal ticket secured now?
And there was no law stating that a man couldn't live off a woman!
Firmly capture the heart of the wealthy benefactor, and she will scatter gold everywhere!
Yoshi.
Boss, whether you want a decorative ornament or a kept man, I can do both!
"Rich lady, I'm hungry, feed me!"
...
Ji Ya reached out and patted his head, just like petting a little puppy.
Lin Yu immediately threw himself into her arms, rubbing against her chest.
Ah~
Large, fair, and soft.
So smooth! Extremely smooth!
When young, you don't appreciate the goodness of a wealthy older woman, and instead mistake young girls for treasures!
Starting today, he would turn over a new leaf and throw himself into the embrace of a rich woman.
"Stroke Ah-Yu's head, no worries ahead today."
Ji Ya uttered a profound piece of wisdom; the original saying was "stroke the puppy's head, no worries ahead all year."
But the current Lin Yu really did look like a little flattering lapdog.
...
Returning to the villa district once more.
The lights were turned on, and he sat on the sofa waiting for the housekeeper to tidy up the basement.
The private KTV was usually closed off; aside from routine cleaning, the door was almost never opened. Ji Ya instructed the housekeeper to go down and start up the machinery in advance, ensuring the air conditioning temperature, humidity, and air purification were all fully adjusted before heading down.
Even now, Lin Yu was still marveling inwardly.
A wealthy benefactor is truly a wealthy benefactor!!
Aside from going to the bathroom, eating, and drinking water which had to be done personally, everything else was handled by others!
It was wonderful. To have such a ridiculously wealthy benefactor set her sights on him must be a blessing cultivated over eight lifetimes!
Good heavens, the reincarnation arrangement the universe made for him was simply perfect.
Having said that, though.
Lin Yu wasn't just fixated on Ji Ya's money.
Otherwise, he would have aggressively pursued her from the very beginning, desperate to marry into wealth immediately and enjoy the life of ease.
The reason he hadn't pierced that layer of window paper until now was very simple.
It was because he had previously felt overly self-conscious about the disparity between them.
However, as they spent more and more time together, and with Ji Ya's exclusive doting on him, his determination to be with her gradually solidified.
Now, all that was missing was an opportunity.
And then he would be able to...
Cling tightly to the wealthy benefactor's thighs, reach the pinnacle of life, and enjoy a blissful existence!
Stop right there.
He was not someone obsessed with wealth; he wasn't that superficial!
He really wasn't!
To say he was freeloading off a rich woman would be going too far; after all, Young Miss Ji was the one who took the initiative and made the first move!
He was merely catering to the rich woman's needs and serving her!
He was a good person, yep!
The housekeeper came out and led them both down to the basement KTV, then closed the door and left, giving them a world of their own.
Young Miss Ji had never brought any man home before, so the housekeeper naturally understood that Lin Yu's status was of utmost importance.
From the moment he stepped inside, Lin Yu was dumbfounded by the professional equipment and luxurious decoration of the KTV.
Who could possibly understand this, folks?
This KTV was decorated with the high-end, majestic, and atmospheric grandeur of a congressional conference room...
Not only was there a place for singing, but there was also a DJ booth, a stage, and the crucial point was that every single piece of equipment was the absolute top tier within the scope of Lin Yu's knowledge!
The basement space was so vast that even a casual shout produced an echo!
Lin Yu felt nothing but shock upon shock. If private KTVs like this were something everyone had, as Ji Ya seemed to think, wouldn't China directly ascend to become the world's premier superpower?
Moreover, within the next few centuries, it was estimated that no other country could possibly surpass it...
Ji Ya sat far away on the sofa, watching him.
At that moment, Lin Yu's attention was entirely focused on the equipment.
His side profile, meticulously examining everything like it was a priceless treasure, actually looked quite handsome.
Did men really become more attractive when they were focused?
Ji Ya rested her chin in her hand, suddenly harboring a small, private thought.
She wanted to hug him, get a little closer to him, have physical contact, and then kiss his lips.
She had kissed him twice, and both times were unforgettable.
She wanted to kiss again after kissing once, and kiss again after that!
Why had the urge to kiss him been intensifying over the past few days?
What on earth was wrong with her? She was acting so strangely!
Yet she found herself completely unable to resist these impulses in her heart.
What was happening to her?
Could it be that she was genuinely falling in love with him?
If she really had fallen in love with him.
Her family had provided her with plenty of professional education, but they had never taught her what love was.
So, from which exact moment had the change between them begun?
Was it the first time they went painting, when he drew chibi versions of the two of them on her artwork?
Or was it from the moment they first went to the skating rink, when he deliberately slowed his pace to wait for her so they could skate side by side?
Or perhaps it was the day she was in danger.
When he stepped forward without the slightest hesitation, risking his life to ensure her safety.
Counting every single experience they had shared together.
Just thinking about them brought a smile to the corners of her mouth, and her heartbeat accelerated to the absolute limit.
This must be love, right?
Thinking of him made her lips curve upward uncontrollably; whenever she couldn't see him, her heart would race with an impatient longing to meet.
And once they met, she only wanted to cling tightly to him, getting closer and closer, and closer still.
While money could make the ghosts grind flour, when it came to matters of the heart, even Ji Ya couldn't help but feel troubled.
The formidable Young Miss Ji, who commanded the business battlefield with ease, found herself completely baffled by matters of romance.
The crux of the matter was...
Even after kissing Lin Yu twice, he still hadn't shown the slightest indication of making a move.
It was driving her crazy; she was anxious herself!
If this dragging on continued, even as Young Miss Ji, she would eventually have to lower her pride and beg for love!
But the real problem was...
Remembering Lin Yu's reaction in the car today, she couldn't help but wonder.
Could this man actually be looking down on her?!
She couldn't be blamed for letting her imagination run wild.
When someone holds a special place in their heart, it was completely normal to lose control and overthink things.
Some feelings were inherently uncontrollable, leaving behind an unstoppable wave of heartache and utter melancholy.
