Chapter 315: Dark Night (Part 2)

As the words left his mouth, Sun Cheng, who had been distracted while observing the expression on her face, clearly noticed that Ye Qi was somewhat moved, yet he couldn't help but mock himself in his heart.

He did not like to use force against women, especially a woman he liked, so in order to keep Ye Qi by his side, Sun Cheng could be said to have exhausted his efforts.

Of course, despising himself was one thing, but he was not slow at all with the excuses he had long since prepared, throwing them out one after another in quick succession.

"Sis, I'll be graduating from university in about two weeks. The next few years will be the startup phase of my career, and I'm afraid I won't have much time to leave Nandu during this period. So, I plan to bring Uncle and Auntie to Nandu to live. If you also come to Nandu to develop your career, our family will be able to see each other whenever we want..."

This was appealing to emotion!

"... I wasn't planning to accept this villa originally, but I came here for a tour and found that the surrounding environment is indeed quite good, suitable for Uncle and Auntie to live in. Plus, there is a room in the villa equipped with holographic projection equipment. I can have people from my company come over to help make some minor modifications, and it can be used by you!"

This was tempting with profit.

A hint of a smile flashed obscurely in Sun Cheng's eyes. He had visited Ye Qi's residence in Shencheng last year; although her income was not low, it was still somewhat difficult to live a luxurious life in that kind of international metropolis where every inch of land was worth gold.

Ye Qi rented an apartment of about eighty-plus square meters in the suburbs, far from the bustling downtown of Shencheng. To facilitate her streaming work, she had paid out of her own pocket to soundproof the apartment and converted one of the side bedrooms into a streaming room, installing audio equipment, an electronic keyboard, and so on.

Although Sun Cheng didn't know much about internet streamers, because of Ye Qi, he understood a little. For a streamer like Ye Qi who didn't play games but focused on singing, dancing, and chatting, the demand for a professional streaming room could be said to be endless.

And these, he had!

Once the speech was finished, a smile had already appeared on Sun Cheng's face.

Not far from him, Ye Qi suddenly took off her shoes, crossed her legs, and sat leaning on the sofa; the ladylike demeanor from just a moment ago was gone.

This was another side of her that could only be seen at home or when she was very relaxed; clearly, she was already very moved.

Sure enough, Ye Qi pursed her lips, her face showing both excitement and distress, "... Come to Nandu to develop? But I've stayed in Shencheng for so long, I really wouldn't be used to suddenly changing to a new environment, and I don't have many friends here either..."

"What are you afraid of? Don't you still have me? What, are you afraid I can't afford to support you now?"

"Fine, your skills have grown. Now you even want to support me..." Ye Qi rolled her eyes at him, her eyes filled with a mix of feigned anger and laughter, indescribably charming and alluring, making Sun Cheng's heart beat non-stop.

He could only take a deep breath to calm the agitation in his heart.

He suddenly stood up from the sofa, subconsciously patted his backside, and then looked at her and said, "Come with me, I'll take you around first, and by the way, show you the streaming room I prepared for you!"

Ye Qi hadn't explicitly agreed just now, so this matter wasn't a success yet. Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Sun Cheng was determined to strike while the iron was hot to keep her here completely, which would also resolve a worry for himself.

What he feared was that women were fickle; who knew if she would change her mind after a day.

Sure enough, a streaming room that might contain holographic projection equipment was a huge temptation for Ye Qi.

She tilted her head and reached out to him with a grin. Sun Cheng chuckled, stepped forward two paces, took her hand, and pulled her up from the sofa. Only then did Ye Qi put on her shoes and walk with him toward the stairs not far away.

The streaming room Sun Cheng prepared for her was on the third floor of the villa, converted from the third-floor master bedroom.

Everything he used to coax Ye Qi just now was a lie. Although this villa had been carefully decorated by the developer with huge investment when he bought it, they weren't fools; holographic projection equipment was currently a "flashy but useless" item. A branded set cost at least tens of thousands, and some more professional ones could easily cost hundreds of thousands. Since it was rarely used by average families, even a high-end luxury villa like this didn't have one.

Leading Ye Qi to the third floor, Sun Cheng didn't linger or introduce anything on the second floor. If he could keep Ye Qi by his side, he would have plenty of time to take her around later.

"We're here, it's this one!"

The two soon arrived in front of a large door on the third floor. Sun Cheng stopped, moved half his body to the side, bowed slightly like a gentleman, and made a gesture of invitation, signaling Ye Qi to open the door.

"Hmph!"

Ye Qi hummed softly and rolled her eyes at him, but her face was full of anticipation. She didn't refuse, stepped forward, pushed open the door, and walked in.

The next moment, having just stepped into the room and glanced around, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaim, "My god, it's so big..."

Sun Cheng followed in unhurriedly, standing behind her, looking at Ye Qi, who was like a child who had received a beloved toy, with doting eyes, remaining quietly silent.

This was originally one of the three master bedrooms in the villa, and the area must have been over fifty square meters.

After he bought the villa, he immediately took a fancy to this room with good lighting and carried out a complete renovation. He moved out and dismantled all the furniture and even the lighting fixtures in the original bedroom, installed brand-new lighting equipment in the room, and a holographic projection device designed and manufactured by a D Printer.

In addition, after consulting professionals, Sun Cheng also purchased a set of the top-tier audio equipment available on the market, and the surfaces of the surrounding walls in the bedroom were re-fitted with reinforced soundproofing panels by industrial robots.

Once the renovation was complete, it could be said that this place was already no less than most professional private music studios on the market. This could be seen just by looking at Ye Qi, who could no longer bother to maintain her ladylike image and was shouting and screaming non-stop.

"My god, a Sennheiser electronic keyboard... This is Wolf-tail... Hmm, even the microphone is a Sennheiser?"

"This is simply... too luxurious..."

Sun Cheng stood quietly near the doorway with a smile on his face, watching Ye Qi touch this and look at that in the room, exclaiming non-stop like a startled little deer.

He knew that this matter was done.

"Sis, you look around first, I'm going to take a call!"

Having finally resolved a worry, Sun Cheng couldn't help but let out a long breath, feeling a lightness in his body he had never felt before.

Seeing that Ye Qi's attention was completely drawn away by the streaming room he had carefully prepared for her, he casually found an excuse and retreated from the room. He went downstairs and came to a room on the second floor that had also been soundproofed. Only then did he take out Xiao Wu, his face no longer having a trace of a smile, leaving only coldness.

"Contact Revenge immediately. I want to know who is plotting against me in the dark!"
