Chapter 616: Feast or Famine
Looking at the pile of property certificates and purchase contracts on the bed, along with strings of keys, Su Ruochu was completely stunned.
"How... how are there so many property deeds?"
She looked up at Chen Fan in shock.
"Did... did you buy all of these?"
Chen Fan smiled and walked over, picking up a bedsheet from the side and gently draping it over Su Ruochu's shoulders.
"Among these, there's a large flat of over 380 square meters, and six villas each around 240 square meters."
"The rest are eight apartments. I bought second-hand ones with furniture. They're completely ready to move in."
Finally, Chen Fan pulled out a purchase contract from the pile of documents.
"This one is in Shimao Olympic Garden, right next to the National Forest Park."
Chen Fan pointed to the other property deeds, "These properties can be rented out or sold in the future, but the one in Olympic Garden, you can find a professional designer to decorate and design it..."
At this point, Chen Fan grinned at Su Ruochu.
"After you graduate, this can be our home in Beijing."
Su Ruochu was still in a daze.
"You, why did you buy so many houses?"
"For investment. Haven't you heard? Houses are also a kind of financial product."
"Just these few houses I bought, if you hold onto them for ten or more years and then sell, they'll increase in value at least ten times over."
Su Ruochu's eyes widened, and it took her a while to react.
"You... you mean you want me to keep these houses?"
Chen Fan nodded.
"Yes, this is my gift to you."
"I can't accept it."
Su Ruochu was startled and quickly pushed the property deeds back to Chen Fan as if they were electrified.
"These... are too valuable, Chen Fan, I... I can't take them."
Chen Fan smiled, seemingly unsurprised by Su Ruochu's reaction.
"Wife, will you listen to me?"
"These are surprises I specially prepared for you, gifts for you."
There was actually one more thing Chen Fan didn't say: this was actually a layer of protection he had prepared for Su Ruochu.
In his heart, Chen Fan always felt that he was a person who had been reborn, and he always lacked a sense of security.
He always felt that he might disappear or suddenly die at any time.
Like a fleeting dream, when the dream ends, he would disappear too.
So, just in case.
These houses were a layer of protection Chen Fan had prepared for Su Ruochu.
If he suddenly died or disappeared in the future, at least Su Ruochu would have these houses.
In ten or more years, the value of these houses would be enough to ensure Su Ruochu a comfortable life.
Of course, Chen Fan couldn't possibly explain these reasons directly to Su Ruochu.
"Look, you often stay in Beijing for your studies, while I still have to strive in Yunhai."
"I feel at ease leaving these houses in your care."
"If you don't keep them, I'll have to pay someone else to look after them."
Chen Fan joked, "Can you bear to let strangers take care of our own houses?"
After hearing this, Su Ruochu hesitated before saying softly,
"Well, then I'll just keep them for you temporarily."
Chen Fan smiled and corrected her, "It's keeping them for us."
Seeing Su Ruochu carefully putting away these property deeds, Chen Fan offered some advice with a smile.
"Except for the house in Olympic Garden, you can rent out the other villas and apartments. The monthly rent will be enough for your life in Beijing."
"From today on, you're also a well-off little rich lady."
Su Ruochu smiled shyly and gently nestled in Chen Fan's arms.
"Chen Fan, please don't be so good to me anymore, okay? It makes me uneasy and at a loss."
Chen Fan gently tidied Su Ruochu's hair on her forehead.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? You're my fiancee, I'm your fiance. What's mine is yours, unless you plan to leave me and break up with me in the future."
Su Ruochu gently hugged Chen Fan's arm.
"I won't."
"I feel like you're getting more and more outstanding now, and I feel like I can't keep up with your pace."
"You're only 23 years old, you still have a long way to go in the future, I can't even imagine how far you'll go."
"When you become successful and famous, I... I have no talents, no abilities, I'm afraid I won't be good enough for you."
Chen Fan amusedly pinched her chin.
"Silly girl, talking nonsense again."
"How could you not be good enough?"
"Being able to marry you in this life is the luckiest thing that's ever happened to me."
Chen Fan's arm around Su Ruochu tightened slightly.
"I once had a dream. In the dream, I was a poor boy with nothing..."
"Those pretty girls at school wouldn't even look at me. One day I plucked up the courage to confess to you, and you gave me a chance."
Chen Fan lowered his head and looked closely into Su Ruochu's beautiful eyes.
"You know what? When you agreed to date a poor boy like me, my whole dark life was illuminated."
Su Ruochu burst into laughter, "I'm not that good. You must be making this up."
But Chen Fan looked at her tenderly.
"Your goodness needs no proof. Because in your previous life, you already gave the answer."
Su Ruochu was very happy today.
Firstly, Chen Fan came to Beijing to accompany her, and secondly, Chen Fan prepared such a big surprise for her.
She wasn't a materialistic girl. She was happy not because Chen Fan bought her so many houses, but because Chen Fan valued her in his heart and was willing to put effort into preparing surprises for her.
The two lingered in bed until dark. When it was time for dinner, Chen Fan didn't want to get up and suggested ordering room service again.
But Su Ruochu refused. She said the food from outside wasn't hygienic and wanted to go out to buy groceries and cook herself.
So Chen Fan wanted to get up and change clothes, but Su Ruochu refused.
"You rarely come to Beijing, and your foot is still not convenient. You should rest well at home, I'll go downstairs to buy."
"There's a supermarket just outside the community, it won't take long."
Seeing her enthusiastic attitude, Chen Fan had to stop persuading and let her go out alone.
He was really tired.
He had spent the whole morning in the car to get to Beijing, and then from noon onwards, he hadn't left the bed with Su Ruochu...
Although he was in his twenties, a time of vigorous energy, even the strongest bull needs a chance to catch its breath, right?
This can't go on. After returning to Yunhai and getting the cast off his foot, he still needs to pick up his fitness routine.
He and Ruochu weren't married and didn't have children yet. If his stamina couldn't keep up, wouldn't that be embarrassing?
With these random thoughts in his mind, Chen Fan dozed off.
He didn't know how long it had been when Su Ruochu came in and woke him up.
"Dinner's ready."
"Ah? You've finished cooking?"
Chen Fan rubbed his eyes and walked out of the bedroom. Seeing the four dishes and one soup laid out in the living room, he was stunned.
"Did... did you make these?"
"When did you learn how to cook?"
Su Ruochu looked a bit proud: "I secretly learned from my dad during that vacation at home."
"You can't judge me by old standards anymore."
Chen Fan smiled, rubbed his hands, sat down and was about to grab some food.
"Ah, wash your hands first."
"Do I have to, wife?"
"Yes, you must."
Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh as Su Ruochu forcibly pulled him up and pushed him into the bathroom.
After washing his hands, they sat at the dining table. Chen Fan picked up a piece of beef and tasted it.
His eyes immediately lit up.
"How is it? Have I improved?" Su Ruochu asked expectantly.
Chen Fan nodded repeatedly.
"Well, you know what, you really..."
"It's delicious."
Only then did Su Ruochu reveal a satisfied smile.
"If it's good, eat more. You must be exhausted today."
Chen Fan nodded repeatedly: "Mm. I'm going to eat four big bowls of rice. I'm planning to continue our three hundred rounds tonight."
Su Ruochu shot Chen Fan a coquettish glare.
"Are you crazy? Do you have a death wish?"
Chen Fan put on a pitiful look.
"We haven't seen each other for almost a month."
"I'm a young man in my twenties with abundant energy."
"Who can stand this feast or famine lifestyle?"
Su Ruochu lightly spat.
"Still, you need to be moderate. Otherwise it will harm your health."
