Chapter 2005: That Kind of Life, I've Had Enough

Wei Yangyang said heartily, "For the sake of your support, I must work hard too!"

Seeing Wei Yangyang looking like a little sun and becoming confident again, Yi Xiang finally felt at ease.

He curled his lips slightly and made a suggestion, "Let me take you around properly again to see if it can spark your inspiration."

"Sure, we can communicate while we look."

Although Yi Xiang gave Wei Yangyang a lot of design freedom, Wei Yangyang always felt that she should still refer to the homeowner's preferences.

Therefore, in the subsequent chat, Wei Yangyang guided the conversation intentionally.

She learned many of Yi Xiang's ideas, then silently memorized them, preparing to incorporate them into her design.

Yi Xiang could feel Wei Yangyang's probing.

And the process of their communication and exchange suddenly gave Yi Xiang a feeling... of designing a new home for two people!

This feeling made Yi Xiang's heart thump wildly.

His earlobes turned red unconsciously.

Wei Yangyang's heart was also thumping wildly.

However, she was excited!

Wei Yangyang really wished she could start making the design drawings right now!

Designing an entire villa is not a simple task.

Wei Yangyang also had a lot of work on hand recently.

She could already foresee how busy she would be while squeezing in time to do the design.

But Wei Yangyang was very happy!

Even if it was hard work, a faint smile hung on her face.

The two walked up along the stairs.

When passing by a room, Yi Xiang discovered they hadn't visited this bedroom yet, so he reached out and placed his hand on the doorknob.

However, the moment he opened this door...

Yi Xiang closed the door again.

The movement was so fast that Wei Yangyang thought her eyes had played tricks on her.

Wei Yangyang waited for a while.

Seeing that Yi Xiang had no intention of opening this door again, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong inside?"

"Ah, nothing, it's just very dusty. Well, let's look elsewhere."

After Yi Xiang finished speaking, he led the way in front.

Wei Yangyang glanced at that bedroom again, then followed Yi Xiang away without changing her expression.

After the two finished touring together, Wei Yangyang pointed to the courtyard and said, "I'm going there to take a few photos."

"Sure, go ahead."

Yi Xiang watched Wei Yangyang with a smile.

Not until she walked into the courtyard did Yi Xiang restrain his smile.

Afterwards, he walked quickly into the room that was supposedly very dusty.

There was actually someone inside.

That person was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, just in time to see Wei Yangyang taking photos in the courtyard.

Yi Lingluo heard the movement behind him and turned his head slowly.

Then he asked, "Is that the person you like?"

Yi Xiang was always uninhibited in front of his older brother.

But at this moment, he was actually a bit shy, lowering his eyes as he replied, "Yes."

"A very ordinary girl."

"But in my eyes, she is not ordinary at all! She even glows!"

Yi Xiang's description sounded very exaggerated.

But the Wei Yangyang in his eyes was truly glowing!

Yi Lingluo did not doubt his words.

He just asked back, "Then when will you be able to glow in her eyes?"

This requirement...

Was clearly making things difficult for him.

Yi Xiang was laughing bitterly inside.

But on the surface, he put on an unyielding look, lifted his chin, and said, "There will be such a day!"

Yi Lingluo stared at Yi Xiang for a while.

Not until Yi Xiang shifted his gaze uncomfortably did he smile lightly.

His smile made Yi Xiang even more uncomfortable, and he frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at!?"

Yi Lingluo did not answer, only saying, "End everything here as soon as possible and come back with me."

Yi Xiang refused without even thinking, "The house is ice-cold; if you are willing to endure it, then go back yourself!"

"Even if it is cold, it is still your home."

"So even if I don't like it, I can only endure it?"

Yi Xiang sneered, "I was young before and could only listen to their arrangements. But now I have grown up and can support myself; I want to choose the life I like!"

Yi Lingluo looked at Yi Xiang's arrogant profile and shook his head lightly.

Then he asked pointedly, "Support yourself? Don't you still need the family's support to be able to coax the woman you like into being happy?"

This...

Yi Xiang turned his head to the side and said resentfully, "It's just this once."

"Rest assured, once there is a first time, there will be a second, and then you will gradually discover the benefits of power and never be able to leave it behind."

When Yi Lingluo said these words, his tone was somber and carried a hint of fatalism.

Yi Xiang, however, didn't buy it at all, saying dismissively instead, "Why is your tone of voice sounding more and more like Mom and Dad? Boring!"

"Life is inherently plain; where would all that excitement come from?"

"Who says so? There are plenty of interesting things; it's just that you refuse to try them!"

As he spoke, Yi Xiang was about to give examples and, incidentally, get his brother to change his lifestyle.

But after thinking about it, Yi Xiang changed his mind.

He muttered, "Forget it, you'd better not try. If you start liking that kind of life, who is going to inherit the family business?"

Yi Xiang muttered this very earnestly, as if he were truly afraid that the family fortune would fall onto his head.

His reaction amused Yi Lingluo.

After his smile faded slightly, he said, "It seems that only after hitting a brick wall will you turn back."

"Wrong, even if I hit a brick wall, I won't turn back!"

Yi Xiang said with great certainty, "I've had enough of that kind of life in the past! This house is also the last time I'll ask for your help!"

"Fine, let me see how long you can hold out."

As Yi Lingluo said this, he prepared to leave the room.

But Yi Xiang grabbed him and urged, "Leave through the back door."

Yi Lingluo was somewhat speechless.

He reminded his younger brother, "Wei Yangyang will know who you are and who I am sooner or later."

"Then, then let her find out later."

"Sooner or later, is there a difference?"

"Yes!"

"It seems you don't have much confidence in her either."

That was true.

Yi Xiang slumped his shoulders and said, "Whatever it is—playing the victim, using my looks—I've tried them all, but unfortunately, they were useless on her. Now, I have to be careful whenever I'm with her."

Yi Lingluo said with a smile, "Perhaps if you let her know you are the son of a billionaire, she will change her opinion of you."

"She won't. Li Xingyan pursued her, and she didn't agree either."

Hearing the name Li Xingyan, Yi Lingluo revealed a faint, elusive smile.

Yi Xiang, however, frowned and urged impatiently, "Oh, anyway, just leave through the back door, I'll take you!"

As he spoke, Yi Xiang dragged Yi Lingluo downstairs.

Yi Lingluo was quite helpless.

But in the end, he still left through the back door.

And by leaving this way, he truly didn't run into Wei Yangyang.

However...

He did run into Xie Wanyi.

To be precise, it was Xie Wanyi who saw Yi Lingluo unilaterally.

Xie Wanyi just happened to be here today to check on the new house.

Just as he was preparing to leave, he caught sight of Yi Lingluo.

He knew Yi Lingluo.

This man was the new successor to the shipping tycoon.

Not long after taking over the family business, he carried out drastic reforms.

Because his actions were too bold, he almost lost the entire industry.

Fortunately, it ended safely in the end.
