Chapter 105 Peninsula Hotel

The Peninsula Hotel, located in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, opened in 1928 and is one of the landmark buildings in Hong Kong.

It was just renovated in 1994, with a new thirty-story building added to the north. When Su Yehao arrived, a helicopter happened to be taking off from the roof, and it looked like there was a helipad on top.

This was nothing to be surprised about. The Si Hai International Hotel in Casino also had one on the top floor, but to avoid disturbing the guests, it was generally not used.

The villa on Big Wave Bay Road that his grandfather gave him also had a helipad. Considering the convenience of future travel, Su Yehao had already planned to add a helicopter to his shopping cart, and would buy one when he had some spare money.

Right now, hitching a ride on his mother's helicopter was quite convenient.

As Su Yehao entered the Peninsula Hotel, he happened to run into the Nangong family's female housekeeper.

He didn't recognize the middle-aged woman in the ladies' suit, but she recognized Su Yehao. The housekeeper, whose surname was Tang, smiled, finally understanding why the young lady was panicking and dressing up carefully, and even urging her to leave.

She felt a little uneasy.

After searching in her handbag, Tang found her phone and called Nangong Tian's mother to inform her and ask for her opinion.

During the period when the little girl's mother was hospitalized with dengue fever, Su Yehao often ran to the hospital to get close to her and offer his concern.

Therefore, he earned a lot of brownie points, and the two families had known each other for a long time.

So Nangong Tian's mother didn't take it seriously, and just told Tang to return to Casino first, and let the younger generation go ahead.

The Nangong family had some assets, but they weren't a wealthy and prominent family, so they wouldn't be easily targeted. Nangong's wife was quite relieved about her daughter, as long as she didn't run around.

With Su Yehao around, her mother was very calm...

On Su Yehao's side.

After asking for the room number, he knocked on the door and entered.

Seeing Nangong Tian wearing a lake-blue tight-fitting dress and high heels, looking trendy and fashionable, he immediately praised her, "You looked beautiful before, but you look even more beautiful today. If you dress like this to register at school, I'm afraid I'll be under a lot of pressure in the future, there won't be a shortage of competitors."

His words were like honey, obviously trying to make amends.

Nangong Tian, who was originally wondering how to respond, couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth when she heard this, and said with a smile, "You're annoying, I wouldn't dress like this to go to school. I wanted you to accompany me shopping today. It's not too late to register tomorrow, anyway, I've been to Hong Kong University many times."

"Have you had breakfast yet? Then let's find a real estate agent later and pick out a house near the school? It's better to be close to the school, one or two thousand square feet will be enough."

Su Yehao realized that Nangong Tian didn't mean to interrogate him. Only a fool would run into the line of fire, so he directly glossed over the small conflict between them.

In fact, the Hong Kong University campus is only about a ten-minute drive from the Mid-Levels' upscale residential area.

But recently Nong Qingying has been going there often, so he can't rub salt in the wound at this time, it's better to pick out another apartment closer to the school.

Nangong Tian didn't want to be separated from Hao-ge, and she knew in her heart that holding on to small details would only push the relationship between them further apart.

So she simply pretended that nothing had happened and said, "Okay, I want to eat some curry fish balls, bowl rice and egg waffles too. Is it very lively at the school today?"

"Yes, there are people everywhere, and there's no parking."

Su Yehao was relieved when he found that Nangong Tian was in a good mood.

And he began to push his luck, putting his arm around the little girl's waist. During the summer vacation, due to quarantine and her mother's illness, there weren't many opportunities to be alone together, and he wasn't in the mood either.

Now that everything was fine, his thoughts became active again. Smelling the scent of shower gel on her neck, Su Yehao whispered:

"You said before that you wanted to go to Santorini for a vacation. I've already contacted a travel agency to ask about hotels, but unfortunately we couldn't go. How about going again at Christmas? I'll pick the best hotel. I secretly traded stocks without telling my parents and earned more than 80 million Hong Kong dollars."

Nangong Tian's attention was immediately diverted. She felt itchy behind her neck, and while laughing and shrinking her head, she asked, "Wouldn't your parents be shocked when they find out? The Hong Kong stock market is terrible, isn't it? My mother lost more than two million, and the financial advisor advised her to sell everything."

"Auntie also invests in stocks?"

"She used to make some money, but two years ago she went to Singapore with a friend to invest in a resort, and then she withdrew the money." Nangong Tian grunted as she spoke, blaming someone for being restless.

She clearly wanted to put on airs and continue the "cold war".

But at this moment, Nangong Tian could only be proud in her heart and enjoy it. In the end, she was still completely under his control...

——————————

During the school trip, the timing wasn't right.

Although the timing was right this time, the little girl was afraid of pain, and her eyes were full of tears at the crucial moment.

Just one step away, but in the end, he retreated.

Thinking of having some wine at night and trying again, Su Yehao wasn't in a hurry.

With mutual compromise, the problem was solved easily, and he was in a great mood.

They dawdled.

It wasn't until noon that they left the Peninsula Hotel, had lunch at a restaurant, and then went to the area around Hong Kong University to find a real estate agency to choose a house.

Speaking of high-end apartments.

Apart from Mid-Levels, the area around Sheung Wan naturally had the highest standard around Hong Kong University.

Many apartments had views of Victoria Harbour, and were about one kilometer away from the school. Whether taking a taxi or driving yourself, it was convenient to travel, and there were restaurants everywhere.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time, Nangong Tian was wearing denim shorts and a white suspender top, standing in front of the spacious floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out at Victoria Harbour in the distance.

There were no obstructions to the north, and the sea view was unobstructed.

This office building was called Shun Tak Centre. The lower floors were hotels and shopping malls, and the upper floors were rented out and converted into long-term rental apartments, ranging in size from ninety square meters to two hundred and sixty square meters. The quality was undoubtedly high.

She no longer needed to worry about rent. Since Su Yehao had decided to live with Nangong Tian off-campus, he naturally had to choose the most comfortable place.

The real estate agency had many houses for rent, obviously closer to the school, only a few hundred meters walk to the school gate.

But either they were facing the street, or the buildings were too old, so Su Yehao skipped them directly, asked the real estate agent to bring out the best properties, and then they were brought here.

The real estate agent was now vigorously promoting it, saying:

"Usually, this place is in short supply, and many long-term rental apartments are directly bought. Currently, there are only two large apartments for rent. Although this one is a bit more expensive, it's definitely better than the one upstairs. When living in a house, the most annoying thing is the constant noise from upstairs at night. You don't have to worry about that with this one. The floor above is a fireproof safety floor. In case of an accident, you only need to walk up the stairs and wait for rescue. You don't have to worry about being disturbed by footsteps and cooking sounds. It's simply a perfect fairy house!"

It wasn't ventilated from north to south, and the decoration style was slightly simple.

Fortunately, it was clean and tidy, with sunshine in the west and a view of Victoria Harbour in the north, with an open view.

The sofas, tables and chairs were all complete. More than one hundred and seventy square meters were only divided into three rooms, making the living room quite spacious.

Su Yehao asked Nangong Tian, "What do you think? Should we just decide on this one, or look around some more?"

Nangong Tian said, "This place is very good. We can often go to the shopping mall downstairs. You heard it too, there's no one making noise upstairs, and the room next to it has floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides. We can watch the night view while we sleep."

"Okay, if you don't like the furnishings, we can change them later. I don't think you're the type to clean and cook, so we should hire a nanny."

After Su Yehao finished speaking.

Nangong Tian, who was excited about off-campus life, hummed, "You underestimate me. It's just cleaning, I can do it myself!"

"Don't speak too soon, anyway, don't expect me to help. I'm worried that I won't have any food to eat all day..."

Su Yehao finished discussing with the agent.

The monthly rent was 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, and at least a full year's rent needed to be paid at once, and there was no room for negotiation.

With an additional deposit of 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, plus the agency fee, more than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars was gone just like that.

Nangong Tian was a bit of a neat freak. She asked the agent to have the used items such as washing machines, refrigerators, and mattresses removed, and she planned to buy them new at her own expense, and even didn't want the sofa.

After spending some time signing the contract, they got the keys directly.

The real estate agency would provide a full set of cleaning services once, so they definitely couldn't move in directly today.

After settling the rental matter, they rushed to the shopping mall to buy refrigerators, televisions, washing machines, mattresses, bedding sets, etc., all kinds of things. They definitely couldn't carry them all by themselves, so they needed to arrange for a truck to deliver them.

Nangong Tian had no experience in cohabitation at all, and was full of novelty. She wanted to buy everything she saw.

After discovering that she also wanted to change the curtains, Su Yehao said with a wry smile, "In the blink of an eye, you've spent more than 100,000 yourself, right? We're just renters, it feels like you're decorating for someone else."

"Hao-ge paid the rent, so it's only right for me to buy other things. We might live in this house for a few years, so of course it has to be more comfortable."

She was about to start a new life.

The little girl was full of expectations for the future, and wanted to prepare everything to the best.

She also specially bought cookbooks, kitchenware, and vacuum cleaners, worrying about living at home for the first time in her life.

After racking her brains, she felt that there should be a comfortable carpet in the living room, and then ran to buy a carpet, costing 400 Hong Kong dollars per square meter, without blinking an eye when paying.

The whole afternoon passed like this.

Su Yehao traded stocks and earned more than 80 million Hong Kong dollars in a flash. Adding the principal of more than 100 million, as well as tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in financial management money, there was a total of nearly 300 million Hong Kong dollars lying in the account.

He calmly accompanied her shopping, feeling that it was good as long as Nangong Tian was happy, and let her do whatever she wanted.

————————————

The Liren Royal Court Club in Casino.

Nangong Tian's mother received a call from the bank's risk control department, asking her if she had been spending money continuously in Hong Kong, and whether her credit card had been lost.

After learning that she had bought sofas, televisions, refrigerators, water mattresses, etc., she immediately guessed something, and sighed helplessly.

Previously, Nangong Tian's mother only knew that her daughter didn't plan to live on campus.

At this time, when she thought about her being with Su Yehao, she couldn't help but have many thoughts, vaguely guessing the truth.

She originally planned to ask her daughter.

She picked up the phone, then put it down again. After all, she was a grown girl, and she could barely start to make her own decisions and plan her own life...
