Xu Weixia opened his eyes and immediately threw off the covers, slipping on his slippers as he rushed to the bathroom. But after just a couple of steps, he froze in place. Where on earth was he?
The room was decorated entirely in pink, featuring a large round bed that could comfortably sleep four people, positioned in the center. By the window stood a vanity table adorned with an array of jewelry, warm sunlight streaming in and filling the room with a shimmering glow.
Every corner of the room was filled with various limited-edition figurines. Even the slippers on his feet were embellished with a pair of pink diamonds shaped like Peppa Pig. He wiggled his toes and realized why they felt a bit tight—these were definitely women's slippers.
Forget it, I’m about to explode.
He clutched his stomach and limped to the bathroom. As he turned on the water, he glanced around. Honestly, this bathroom was bigger than his apartment's bedroom. The main feature was an enormous bathtub; he felt like he could swim in it once it was filled with water. But what about that toilet? Was it for real?
No way, is this place really that luxurious?
After finishing up, he bent down and ran his fingers over the colorful toilet. The surface was pure gold, encrusted with gemstones and diamonds of various sizes and colors. The first impression? Gaudy!
But on second glance, it wasn’t too bad! By the third look, it was actually quite pleasing!
Rubbing his head where he had been hit last night, Xu Weixia exited the bathroom. He adjusted his slightly rumpled shorts and limped to the door, making his way down the stairs. When he reached the bottom, he was taken aback.
The semi-circular staircase led down to a massive living room filled with decorations he had never seen before. In the center of the living room sat a sofa where Angelina was nestled comfortably, resting her small head on Yelena's lap while her mother cleaned her ears. Across from them sat Alexander in a thick bathrobe, a large cigar dangling from his mouth as he read the newspaper.
Standing at the top of the stairs, Xu Weixia scratched his head: How much does this place cost for a week?
“Nikola! You’re awake! Come down for breakfast,” Alexander called out cheerfully, waving at Xu Weixia.
With a mix of apprehension and curiosity, Xu Weixia limped downstairs. Angelina immediately ran over and hugged him tightly, planting kisses all over his face. “I’m so glad you’re okay!”
He chuckled awkwardly and habitually scratched the back of his head before pulling Angelina aside discreetly. “How did you know I rented this place for you?”
“You rented a house?” Angelina’s eyes widened in surprise. “Why would you spend that money?”
“It’s your eighteenth birthday! I figured there would be plenty of people coming over from your family, so I wanted to give you a surprise.”
“You bad guy!” The little girl hugged him around the waist, rubbing her cheek against his chest. “This is my home! I was just joking with you earlier; I didn’t expect you to take it seriously.”
As long as you like it!
Xu Weixia suddenly came to her senses, trembling as she pointed at the armrest beside her. She looked down at Angelina, who wore a blissful expression. "Is this your home?"
"Yes, this is my home. I brought you to my neighborhood; it's a room belonging to one of the maids in my house," Angelina replied.
With a cheerful smile, Angelina pulled Xu Weixia into the living room and recounted how she had rented the luxurious apartment. The elderly couple laughed heartily, struggling to catch their breath from the amusement. After teasing Xu Weixia, who was still in a daze, they got up and headed to the dining room.
