When Li Lingyun heard his girlfriend’s words, he smiled and said, "I want you to do that. But as you said, with the relationship between your family and his, it would put you in a difficult position if you ignore him. And if I did this, it would be unfair to you and selfish of me."
After a moment of silence, he added, "Jia Er, even if I feel jealous, it’s not your problem but mine. I trust you, I know you won’t do anything that lets me down. So, I won’t forbid you from doing anything you want to do or force you to do things against your will."
When Pan Meijia heard this, her heart felt warm. She nodded and said, "Brother Yun, you can tell me if you feel uncomfortable. I will do my best to limit my contact with him."
Li Lingyun hooked his pinky finger with hers and smiled, "Thank you for understanding, Jia Er. Wait for me to pick you up in two days."
Hearing this, Pan Meijia smiled shyly and nodded, "Okay. I will wait for you at home."
After they talked for a while, Li Lingyun walked her to the car and watched her leave with her brother before returning to his family.
Since the rented house was near the compound where the Pan family lived, they took a bus to get there. Half an hour later, they finally reached the rented house.
When everyone saw the house, they were surprised, especially Lu Jueyu. The house was a traditional courtyard house with two gates.
In the modern era, this type of house would cost over five million in suburban areas, let alone in the capital city. She couldn’t imagine how her second brother-in-law managed to rent it, but it must have been expensive.
Li Chenmo noticed his wife’s bright smile as she looked around. Since there were plenty of rooms, he and Lu Jueyu took one for themselves, while Dong Li stayed with Father Li.
Once they were in their room, Li Chenmo placed their bags on the table and asked, "Wife, do you like this kind of house?"
Lu Jueyu nodded and said, "I have always wanted to buy a courtyard house, but it’s too expensive. I can’t afford one."
Li Chenmo thought for a moment and replied, "Then, when the time is right, how about we buy a few courtyard houses? If we are lucky, we might even get a three-gate courtyard or a manor."
Feeling excited, Lu Jueyu asked with bright eyes, "Husband, can we really buy a manor?"
In the modern era, manors were usually government-owned and only available to the wealthiest families. High prices and rarity kept them out of reach for most people. Therefore, if she could own a manor, it might become their family’s inheritance.
Seeing her excitement, Li Chenmo gave her a light kiss and said, "Of course. With our accumulated wealth, buying a manor and some courtyard houses shouldn’t be a problem."
