Chapter 602: Upholding My Husbandly Authority (Part 1)
Zheng Guang liked it more and more, and in the end, he was so fond of it that he immediately went to the Zhongguan Grand Hotel to report to Ye Hao.
After Ye Hao and the others entered the Zhongguan Grand Hotel, Ye Hao planned to book a large room, but Lin Ruyu stopped him, giving him a sidelong glance and said, "Do you really think you can waste money just because you have some?"
Ye Hao helplessly spread his hands and said, "Isn't this because I don't want to wrong you, Miss Lin, Su University Girl, and Miss Xia?"
"Oh, come on, we're not some sort of princesses; eating in the hall is fine, and it feels more lively this way," Lin Ruyu laughed.
Ye Hao could only get a table for ten in the hall, order some specialty dishes, and wait for Fang Ni to arrive.
At this moment, Sun Mei and Zheng Guang had a gleam in their eyes, as if they had spotted something they liked.
Seeing this, Ye Hao asked with a smile from his seat, "Elder Zheng, Sun Mei, did you find some money? Why are you so happy?"
"We didn't find money, but it seems you might need to spend some, young master," Zheng Guang laughed.
"Oh? Spotted a nice villa?" Ye Hao knew from Zheng Guang's words that he might have found a pretty good villa.
"The villa is not just good; it is very good. It's about a kilometer away from Peking University, situated on a small hillside, called Dragon and Phoenix Castle. It's very beautiful, with good settings inside—artificial hills and streams, lush green lawns," Zheng Guang reported cheerfully.
"Are there many villas nearby? Would it be too crowded?"
"Not at all, there are no other houses within one or two hundred meters. The land was bought by a businessman. It's in the third ring, where the management isn't very strict, so back then you could buy a large piece of land if you had money," Zheng Guang said with a smile.
"The environment seems nice!" Ye Hao praised with a smile, then turned to Sun Mei and asked, "What about you, Sun Mei? Did you see any villas? Better than Elder Zheng's?"
Sun Mei shook her head with a wry smile, "It seems my eyesight isn't as good as Elder Zheng's! I saw a villa near the west gate of Peking University, but there are too many houses around it. Although the style inside is very nice, I think the boss and Miss Lin might not like this type, right?"
"Indeed, I prefer a quieter place," Lin Ruyu smiled.
"I don't mind, as long as I'm with Ye, Yuyu, and Xia," Su Qing said playfully, sticking out her tongue with a smile.
"I don't mind," Xia Zhu handed the decision-making power over to Ye Hao and Lin Ruyu.
"You girls are too much! Discussing buying a house and not telling your sister. Are you trying to live secretly together without letting me know?" At this moment, Fang Ni walked in from outside the hotel, wearing a sharp white blouse, a black short skirt, and 8 cm high black heels under her fair legs, outlining her mature and alluring figure.
Lin Ruyu and the others warmly went up and held Fang Ni's hand. Lin Ruyu laughed and said, "How could we not let Ni know? We were just waiting for Ni to come and make a decision!"
"Fang Ni," Xia Zhu affectionately hugged Fang Ni.
Su Qing was even more straightforward, hugging both Fang Ni and Xia Zhu together.
"I've missed you all," Fang Ni laughed as she affectionately mingled with the others, her gaze occasionally flickering towards Ye Hao.
Ye Hao looked at Fang Ni with a smile, and although Fang Ni gave him a sidelong glance, anyone could see the excitement and joy in her eyes.
A year had passed, exactly a year since they met, but they'd only spent a few days together. Now they could finally be together like a big reunion, going to school and living together; her heart was very content!
"We missed Ni too." Lin Ruyu went up and hugged her too. The four girls, with their devilish figures and angelic faces gathered together, created a beautiful scenery that made Ye Hao feel at peace — having them in his life was enough.
"Alright, let's not disturb others while eating. Let's sit down first!" Fang Ni and the girls hung out affectionately for a while, noticing that others in the hall were looking at them, she said embarrassedly.
The girls all sat down, while Zheng Guang and Sun Mei stood behind Ye Hao.
Ye Hao said with a smile, "Elder Zheng, Sun Mei, no need to be so formal, come and sit down!"
"No, young master..." Zheng Guang shook his head. In his view, a big family should have its proper ranks, and while the master hasn't finished eating, those serving should wait.
Seeing Zheng Guang not sitting, Sun Mei also stood behind Ye Hao without moving.
"Elder Zheng, Sun Mei, at home, don't be so polite. The more polite you are, the more I feel I'm mistreating you," Ye Hao said with a stern face, seeing as the two always acted so formally.
"How could that be, young master hasn't mistreated..." Zheng Guang wanted to say that Ye Hao hadn't mistreated them, but Ye Hao interrupted him immediately.
"Since I haven't mistreated you, then sit down and eat with us. I've long considered you like my grandfather, Elder Zheng, so don't be so formal in the future," Ye Hao said with a firmer tone.
Hearing this, Zheng Guang looked at Sun Mei, who had a "your decision" look.
Lin Ruyu smiled when she saw the situation and said, "Sir Zheng, since Hao has asked you to sit, don't be so formal. You've been by Hao's side constantly, and haven't had many peaceful days. Being too formal with him makes him feel guilty instead."
"Yes, Sir Zheng, join us for a meal!" Su Qing said cutely.
Fang Ni and Xia Zhu smiled and nodded.
Zheng Guang was genuinely moved by Ye Hao and the others inviting him so warmly. Yet his heart felt very warm, and he enjoyed the feeling of being respected.
He had thought of spending this lifetime just as Ye Hao's butler, but Ye Hao treated them as family, never regarding him as just a servant or subordinate. Thus, he still felt warmth in Ye Hao's big family.
"Then I will take advantage of the young master's kindness and have a meal with the young mistresses." Zheng Guang was an old-fashioned kind of person, not even speaking with a modern tone.
He also referred to Lin Ruyu and the others as young mistresses.
"No need to be formal." Ye Hao laughed and invited Zheng Guang and Sun Mei to sit down.
Once everyone was seated, the hotel began serving the dishes.
During the meal, Fang Ni asked, "Earlier, you were discussing buying a house. How did it go? Found one yet?"
"Not yet, we were planning to wait for Ni to come and discuss together what house to buy," Lin Ruyu said with a smile.
"I don't mind, as long as I can be with the sisters," Fang Ni said indifferently.
"Giving up on your husband, huh?" Ye Hao gave Fang Ni a sidelong glance.
"You can sleep on the floor," all the girls seemed to be in sync as they jointly resisted Ye Hao.
"Oh my god! Incomprehensible women, I need to assert my authority as a husband." Ye Hao pretended to be righteous and indignant.
"Go ahead, we are watching," the girls remained indifferent, smiling as they looked at Ye Hao, who decisively conceded… (To be continued.
