Chapter 130: Rich Lady Sister

To look matching with Ye Xi'an, Bao Jing also wore a yellow suit.

But his style is completely different from Ye Xi'an's, looking somewhat mismatched.

"Let's go find Ji Jiangci and the others."

As soon as the two returned to the room, they were met with three gazes.

Lin Zhi Jing said sourly: "You came back early.", implying that Bao Jing must be inadequate, otherwise how could they have returned so early?

Bao Jing is in a good mood now, too lazy to pay attention to Lin Zhi Jing: "I'm fine, An'an was worried you'd worry, so I came back as soon as I woke up."

"Right." Ye Xi'an tried to cover up, never imagining that everyone except herself knew what they did last night: "I just went out to sleep because I disliked the crowd; look, I just woke up and had Bao Jing come back. See how much I care about you."

After Ye Xi'an spoke, she expected everyone to echo her, but instead the air suddenly fell silent, and even Bao Jing strangely remained silent.

"You..." Ye Xi'an was about to ask why they weren't speaking, when the ever-silent Light Brain suddenly chimed with a message notification.

Ye Xi'an opened it and saw it was a message from Qiu Yi.

【Qiu Yi】: Where are you? I'll come to your place to find you.

Ye Xi'an looked at the message; that overbearing, terse tone was exactly the kind of thing that cool sister Qiu Yi would say.

By the way, she still owed Qiu Yi an apology and a promise.

But she currently doesn't even have a proper residence, which really isn't a good place to apologize.

【Ye Xi'an】: Let's meet at a restaurant; my place isn't convenient.

【Qiu Yi】: A restaurant is boring; why not come to my place? My place is big.

【Ye Xi'an】: That works too.

【Qiu Yi】: Should I pick you up?

【Ye Xi'an】: I can go myself; just send me your address and wait for me at home.

【Qiu Yi】: Sending location sharing now.

Ye Xi'an clicked in and discovered that Qiu Yi actually lives in the First Ring.

Ji Jiangci came out after washing up, saw Ye Xi'an's worried frown, and asked: "What's wrong?"

"I'm about to go see Qiu Yi, but she lives in the First Ring, her family is surely rich—what should I bring so I don't look awkward?"

"Just wash some fruit. She definitely lacks nothing, but washing some seasonal fruit will at least be useful."

Ye Xi'an thought the same; anything she could think of buying and afford, Qiu Yi surely doesn't lack.

Ye Xi'an began frantically scavenging fruit from her space, picking out the reddest, fragrantest, largest ones, placing them in a beautiful gift box, and the family got into a First Ring vehicle, heading to Qiu Yi's home.

Qiu Yi's home is near the Mission Center; she walked to a gate, thinking it was the entrance to Qiu Yi's residential compound, where two ostentatiously dressed males stood.

Ye Xi'an guessed they were probably guards, but with that attire she almost thought they were cosplaying the twelve zodiac signs.

The residential area's houses are very sparse; you have to walk far to see a building, and between the houses are planted all kinds of flowers and vegetables, or some fruit trees.

However, Zhu Shen Xing's soil lacks any substance for plant growth, so these plants can only grow in pots, and the soil in those pots is transported back from the homeworld.

"This residential area is way too luxurious, huh?"

Although the First Ring is already incredibly valuable land, this residential area ended up building houses far away, and they're only two- to three-story villas.

"The families in the First Ring are indeed wealthy; their wealth exceeds a certain limit, so their demands have changed."

Just like Qiu Yi, they no longer pursue merely having a house to live in, but seek a quiet and private residence.

Such sparse construction is favored by these wealthy families.

"An'an!"

Ye Xi'an's steps halted as she saw Qiu Yi running out from a building utterly unlike the villas she had seen before—a lavish, inhumanely oppressive, castle-like European structure.

She was still all in black, but this time she wore an off-shoulder dress, a highly designed outfit.

"Qiu Yi, this is for you."

Ye Xi'an took out the fruit somewhat embarrassedly, worried Qiu Yi might disdain it.

Qiu Yi took the fruit and found each piece's quality outrageously good, clearly chosen with care: "What fresh fruit, thank you, An'an."

Qiu Yi genuinely liked the gift; she happened to want to eat the grapes inside.

A nearby male, sensing her intent, stepped forward to take the item from Qiu Yi's hand, but she dodged him.

"I can hold it myself; go prepare some fruit tea."

The male nodded respectfully and turned away.

"Is he your husband?" Ye Xi'an curiously watched the male who had just left, wearing a lace lingerie outfit—he shouldn't be a manservant, because if a manservant dressed like that it would be too strange, as if trying to seduce Qiu Yi.

Qiu Yi blinked, looked at the male: "I guess so." Although there's no Spiritual Mark and they haven't registered marriage, they've slept together, so he counts as a husband.

Qiu Yi led Ye Xi'an into the castle, where a red carpet was laid at the doorway, feeling very comfortable underfoot.

As they neared the door, Ye Xi'an saw male servants lined up neatly on either side of the carpet, dressed in uniform attire with finely combed hair; upon seeing her approach, they all bowed ninety degrees in unison, shouting: "Welcome home, master."

Qiu Yi nodded satisfactorily, raised an eyebrow at Ye Xi'an: "How about that, not bad?" This was a specially trained ritual unique to coming home.

Ye Xi'an was stunned by the extravagant display, stiffly pointing at the castle: "They call you master, so this whole castle is your home!"

"Not just that—the whole estate is mine. This castle is where I live; the scattered houses outside are where my husband lives. I usually don't like being disturbed, so I built them far away."

Ye Xi'an:!!!!!!

Bao Jing, Yi Yang, Ji Jiangci:!!!!!!

Even Lin Zhi Jing couldn't help showing a surprised expression; in the lab he often heard those old-timers complain, saying these researchers devote their lives to Zhu Shen Xing yet lack the luxurious homes of the wealthy families' males.

Back then he thought those old-timers were ungrateful—who doesn't know that males on Zhu Shen Xing have low status? Even if they live well, they can't possibly be better off than researchers.

But after seeing Qiu Yi's family today, he realized those old-timers weren't exaggerating; these males indeed live very luxuriously.

Ye Xi'an swallowed, gazing at those luxurious mansions and villas, tears of envy and jealousy welling up; no wonder the males in those families are so loyal, unafraid even of death—given such conditions, she too would be wholly devoted to Qiu Yi.

"If you want to live like this, I'll also build you a house."

Ye Xi'an bit her lip, as the ideas of a rich sister's slacking-off life and a down-to-earth livelihood struggled wildly in her heart; ultimately the latter prevailed, and she painfully embraced Qiu Yi.

"Qi Yi older sister~", the voice was a coquettish tone that Ji Jiangci and them had never heard before.
