Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

After staying in Commoner Residence for a day, Nan Chen brought Ning Ran and the children back to Flower City

Residences, a villa area located east of Flower City.

Initially, they stayed in Red Maple City, but they had to move to Nan Chen's other house because Bai Hua and the

others live there now.

Flower City Residences was Flower City's most high-end villa area.

Every villa in the area cost one point five percent more than the average house in Flower City. Moreover, the

largest artificial lake was located there. It was built strategically next to a mountain to create an auspicious pattern

that could bring good luck to the residents. Additionally, it was big enough for boating activities where one could go

on a boat outing to view lotus flowers.

Needless to say, the infrastructure was top-notch, as the best hospital in the country had opened a branch there. In

addition, the best international school was situated there as well as other important facilities.

Raining Pavilion, which was the most expensive villa, was located in the heart of the area. Back then, it was priced

at a whopping three hundred million.

Although it wasn't easy to evaluate the house price at this moment, it would be worth a few times more than its last

evaluation.

Nan Zhengde was the one who bought the house in the beginning before giving it away to Nan Chen.

That being said, perhaps “gift” would not be the appropriate term here as Nan Zhengde wanted Nan Chen to repay

him for the house with an annual interest of five percent after the former was done paying for the house in full.

It was like making Nan Chen spend in advance so that he would have some financial pressure that would, in turn,

force him to work harder.

Nevertheless, Nan Chen did not disappoint. Within two years, he repaid his house loan through personal

investments without taking even a single dime of his family's money.

That was actually Nan Zhengde's final test for Nan Chen. The moment the latter got a passing mark, the former left

Nanshi Corporation to his competent grandson without worry.

Despite being Nan Chen's property, he rarely stayed in Raining Pavilion.

After all, the house was too lavish for his tastes, as it looked like a miniature castle. It would be a waste if he lived in

it alone, so he would rather not do that.

Then, as Ning Ran and the children appeared in his life, the number of people increased. However, he did not force

them to move out from their small home in Red Maple City because they were used to living there.

Of course, there was another reason. At that time, Ning Ran did not mean much to Nan Chen, so he felt she was

unqualified to live in the extravagant and huge villa.

But things had changed since then, and Nan Chen felt it was time for her and the children to move in.

The house, which had been unoccupied for many years, would finally welcome its new owner.

When the car stopped at the entrance, the automatic doors opened, allowing the car to drive in before closing

itself. The whole process was smooth and noiseless.

At the same time, the fountain in the garden started up while the music, Going Home, played.

Truth be told, Nan Chen was not a big fan of these automated features. He felt that they were too fancy and over

the top. Fortunately, he could turn these features off. If one did not like the music, one could simply switch it off.

However, Erbao loved it very much. The first thing she did when she got off the car was to rush to the musical

fountain.

Usually, one would only find this kind of fountain in public areas, so Erbao was genuinely surprised when she saw

one like that in the house. Hence, one could imagine how big the house actually was if a fountain like that were

installed.

When Ning Ran finally had a look at the house, she was shocked, for the house was ridiculously extravagant.

The outer walls were minimalistic, with a mainly black and white color palette.

Next, its structure was different from ordinary houses. For starters, it had solar panels on the roof to generate

electricity. Apart from that, the walls had sensors to detect the outside temperature and adjust the inside

temperature accordingly. Furthermore, the lights would automatically adjust to a suitable brightness, and finally,

there was a wall that could double as a giant screen in every room.

This modern hi-tech architecture looked like it came straight out of a science fiction movie.

“Are we really going to live here?” Ning Ran looked at Nan Chen.

“Of course,” Nan Chen stated.

“I still think this house is too much. It doesn't look like a real house, but something out of a movie,” Ning Ran said.

“Well, you're not wrong there. We had architects and even a group of scientists on the house's design team. This

was actually an experiment to test whether this futuristic design was feasible for mainstream use. Alas, everyone

deemed it to be a failure. You can't build houses like this.”

“Why? I like the futuristic features of this house. Isn't that good?” Dabao mused thoughtfully.

“Yes, I know it looks futuristic, but the construction cost was too high. Because it was infused with too many modern

elements and state-of-the-art technology, the resulting cost was astronomical. As a result, the construction cost

was two times higher than a house of the same kind. This means that a house like this would be impossible to sell

since buyers would think it was too expensive,” Nan Chen explained.

Dabao nodded. “Oh, so, not many would like this. They would think it's not worth it since many people like a bigger,

more impressive house than this futuristic one.”

Nan Chen glanced at Ning Ran. “Hear that? Do you understand?”

Ning Ran was unwilling to admit defeat. “Of course, I know that. Even my son understands it, so there's no way I

don't.”

Erbao only giggled by the side, not saying anything.

“What are you laughing about?” Ning Ran shot her daughter a glare. “Do you think I don't get it as well?”

Erbao quickly shook her head. “No, I don't think that at all.”

However, Erbao had something she did not say out loud. There are many things that Dabao knows, but my Mommy

doesn't. Mommy's not even in the same league as Dabao!

Soon, a middle-aged woman welcomed them. “Hello, Sir Chen, Madam, Little Miss, and Little Master. Welcome

home.”

Nan Chen introduced her. “Everyone, this is Lu Juan. She is in charge of Raining Pavilion's upkeep and will also be

responsible for everything here in the future. If you need anything, you can let her know. As you can see, this house

has many features, and even I myself am still figuring out most of them. But rest assured, you can always ask Lu

Juan for answers.”

“Hello, Lu Juan!” Erbao greeted her first.

“You shouldn't call her Lu Juan. It isn't nice. Call her Ms. Lu instead,” Ning Ran corrected her.

“No, no, it's fine. You can call me Lu Juan,” the middle-aged lady said.

“Ms. Lu, we'll be in your care!” Erbao and Dabao replied in unison.

“Oh my! Aren't you adorable? Little Miss and Little Master are remarkable people. I'm sure they'll be great people in

the future,” Lu Juan praised.

Hmm. I have to admit that this housekeeper is good at giving compliments, Ning Ran thought to herself.

“Daddy, why is this house called Raining Pavilion?” Erbao asked, her curious mode activated.

“Follow me, Little Miss,” Lu Juan said to Erbao with a smile. “Come this way. You'll know why this house is called

Raining Pavilion.”

When Erbao followed Lu Juan, the latter carried the former up and had her press a button on the wall.

Immediately, water rained down from the eaves. It started as a drizzle but gradually got heavier over time.

As the mist dispersed, the humidity in the air increased.

People would be soothed if a drizzle of rain like this occurred in the summertime.

“Wow! That's amazing! You can make it rain? I want it to rain every day!” Erbao chirped happily.

“Nonsense. What fun is there if it rains every day?” Ning Ran chuckled.

“Little Miss, I know something even better. Do you like animated shows?” Lu Juan asked with a grin.

“Yes, I do! I love Spirited Away!” Erbao exclaimed.

Lu Juan was stunned. She initially thought that Erbao would want to watch cartoon shows that were meant for

younger audiences. She never expected the little girl to want to watch a famous movie that was made by a great

director. They are indeed different from ordinary children.

“Okay, then, please talk to the screen.” Lu Juan told Erbao to speak to the smart screen.

“I want to watch Spirited Away!” Erbao shouted.

In the next moment, the whole wall lit up, and the movie, Spirited Away, started to play in high definition.

Erbao was overjoyed.
