OFR – Chapter 162 Being sentimental

At this moment, Yun Wenqing led Mu Bai to view the only two remaining mansions in Xuanwu Zhongshan valued at over one billion.

Yes, even in Xuanwu Zhongshan, billion-yuan villas were rare.

Most were in the fifty-to-sixty-million range.

After all, with Nanjing’s average housing price at just twenty to thirty thousand per square meter, the properties in Xuanwu Zhongshan selling for tens of millions were already at the peak of the market.

To outsiders, owning such a home was a symbol of prestige.

And within Xuanwu Zhongshan’s villa district, the billion-yuan mansions were the ultimate status symbols.

At this moment, Yun Wenqing had just finished showing Mu Bai the two top-tier villas.

One of them was an extremely luxurious sky pavilion, but due to its lower security and lower seismic resistance, Mu Bai merely took a glance before shaking his head and rejecting it outright.

Now, the two were examining another luxurious billion-yuan mansion.

This villa was even more extravagant than the previous one, with four floors, top-tier security measures, and the finest furnishings available.

The soundproofing was exceptional, utilizing the most advanced noise-canceling technology.

Even in adjacent rooms, once the doors were closed, no sound—no matter how loud—could be heard from the other side.

The windows were made of reinforced bulletproof glass, while the walls and ceilings were constructed using the highest-grade materials, boasting a seismic resistance rating of level twelve.

From the rooftop, one could take in the breathtaking panoramic views of Xuanwu Zhongshan, Xuanwu Lake, and Crescent Lake beyond.

This villa was practically the dream home for anyone.

After finishing her introduction, Yun Wenqing cautiously asked, “Mr. Mu, this is Villa No. 16, our top-tier residence. Are you satisfied?”

Mu Bai nodded calmly. “Not bad. How much?”

Even though he wasn’t an expert on real estate, just by touring this villa, he could easily sense its luxury and opulence.

That left him fairly satisfied.

“1.28 billion. Mr. Mu, if you decide to purchase, according to Mr. Zhang’s instructions, you can get a discount, bringing the price slightly over one billion.”

Seeing Mu Bai show interest in buying, Yun Wenqing let out a sigh of relief, finally relaxing.

However, even as she relaxed, she was utterly shocked.

Who exactly was this nineteen- or twenty-year-old young man before her, that he could so calmly purchase a billion-yuan mansion?

No matter how hard she tried, Yun Wenqing couldn’t figure it out.

“Hmm. But if you get a discount, you and Jiang Wenwen won’t get any bonuses or commissions, right?”

Mu Bai glanced at the villa’s layout once more and asked softly.

“Yes, that’s right. But, Mr. Mu, it’s really no problem. If you’re satisfied, that’s the best reward I could ask for. I also need to thank you for not making a fuss in front of Mr. Zhang earlier. I truly appreciate it.”

Yun Wenqing once again expressed her gratitude to Mu Bai.

Although she did feel a bit of regret about missing out on a million-yuan commission and bonus, at least she had kept her job.

But just as she was having this thought, she suddenly heard the young man beside her say softly, “1.28 billion, no discount. I’ll take it.”

Her polite smile froze instantly.

It took her a good ten seconds before she bit her lip, lowered her head, and asked hesitantly, “Mr. Mu, are you refusing the discount because you don’t want to accept my service? I… I’m sorry, I was really wrong earlier. I’ll do whatever it takes to make it up to you, okay? Whatever you need from me in the future, I’ll do it.”

At this moment, Yun Wenqing felt a deep sense of guilt.

She thought Mu Bai still hadn’t forgiven her.

But soon, the boy’s slightly magnetic voice sounded again, making her realize she had completely misunderstood.

“You’re overthinking it. I barely know Zhang, and I don’t want to owe him any favors. That’s all.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Wenqing, with tears in her eyes, lifted her gaze to look at Mu Bai.

Sensing her hesitation, the young man nodded slightly, confirming once more, “This has nothing to do with you.”

“Oh… Oh, I see. I’m sorry. I was being presumptuous again.”

Yun Wenqing quickly wiped the corner of her eyes and apologized.

“It’s fine. Full payment—go handle the paperwork.”

Mu Bai didn’t dwell on it.

He simply took out his upgraded diamond card and handed it to Yun Wenqing for processing.

“Alright.”

Yun Wenqing took the card and nodded.

About ten minutes later, Mu Bai and Yun Wenqing returned to the sales office.

She personally handled all the necessary procedures for him, and by around 9:30 PM, everything was finalized.

“Mr. Mu, here are your keys and the contract. If you ever need anything in the future, you can contact me directly, and I’ll do everything I can to assist you.”

Yun Wenqing gently handed over the keys and contract.

“Alright.”

Mu Bai nodded indifferently, took the contract, and without wasting any more time, casually waved his hand before turning to leave.

After he left, Yun Wenqing remained standing in place, her expression still complex.

Meeting this boy tonight, as well as everything that had happened, made her feel as if she were in a dream.

Because if this wasn’t a dream, how could a nineteen- or twenty-year-old buy a billion-yuan mansion and speak as an equal with someone like Nalan Yun?

Shouldn’t people his age still be worrying about a few hundred yuan in living expenses?

She had no idea how to process the fact that all of this was real.

It took her a long time before she finally turned around, feeling a sense of loss, and walked upstairs.

By now, it was already 10 PM, and the night was deep and quiet.

Mu Bai returned to his apartment in Shui Mo Lin Ju. Since it was late, he decided to pack up his things tomorrow and move into his new villa in Xuanwu Zhongshan.

“Ding! Congratulations, host, on successfully purchasing a billion-yuan mansion! The side quest for the ‘Godly Tycoon Aura’ has been updated. Now, you only need to buy a 30-million-yuan luxury car to complete the quest.”

At that moment, the anticipated glowing text appeared before his eyes.

Mu Bai simply glanced at it and dismissed it without a second thought.

Yawning, he headed to his bedroom and lay down.

As was his habit, before sleeping, he scrolled through his phone and checked WeChat messages.

Nothing special on his phone—just Mi Xuan’s usual daily report.

However, a friend request on WeChat made Mu Bai chuckle in amusement.
