Even Chenxin’s staff chimed in to dissuade Li Yanchen from singing. “Boss, your voice is beautiful. But please, don’t sing today.”

Meanwhile, even Li Zexuan’s eyes turned red after Li Zexin’s speech.

Lin Wan patted him osing a song for everybody?”

“Ms. Lin, you should sing instead. You have a beautiful voice,” said Li Zexuan.

The crowd made a commotion. The host passed the microphone over. Li

Yanchen was about to take it when Li Zexin pulled him to the side. “Dad, it’s better for you to be an audience this time.”

Li Yanchen was speechless.

Lin Wan glanced at Li Zexuan. “Do you know how to sing Xue Zhiqian’s “Noble”?” she asked.

“Absolutely.”

The music played. Lin Wan and Li Zexuan sang “Noble” together. Their voices were confident and melodious.

When they finished the song, it took a while for everyone to come to their senses. They clapped uproariously.

The impact of Lin Wan’s voice lingered in their minds. Her voice was so strong and firm. Everyone was surprised that someone as petite and small as Lin Wan could have such a powerful voice.

A few singers who had gathered there sighed. They couldn’t believe Lin Wan was an amateur at singing. After the duet, the others reconsidered whether they should sing the piece they had prepared. They were doubtful.

“Thank you for listening,” said Lin Wan. She and Li Zexuan bowed to the guests.

“Madam Lin and Xuanxuan, please take your seats. I will announce the start of the banquet now. Please enjoy your lunch.”

The hotel’s dishes were all carefully made by the hotel’s master chef. Each dish, undoubtedly, was like a work of art.

Below the stage, toasts were made in honor of the birthday girl. Songs and dances were performed.

After lunch, most people left the hotel. Only a few close friends stayed back.

Lin Wan thought the party was over. To her surprise, Li Yanchen had more surprises planned. He sent the children home.

He drove Lin Wan to a small island in the middle of a lake in Yun City.

Lin Wan had heard of this place. Usually, the rich bought villas here. There were around thirty villas with private Chinese gardens.

The name of this community was Peach Blossom. Like Royal Water Bay, the owners of the villas in this place were rich and respectable. Li Yanchen was a business tycoon in Yun City, so it wasn’t surprising for him to know people who resided in such a place.

Lin Wan assumed that Li Yanchen had brought her here to meet one of his friends, who hadn’t made it to the birthday party for some reason.

When the infrared system at the entrance recognized Li Yanchen’s car, Lin Wan was surprised. She guessed that Li Yanchen might own one of the villas here. Sure enough, the car stopped in front of one of the villas. Li Yanchen led her to the door and opened it with his fingerprint.

“Wanwan, let me set your fingerprint on the door so that you can unlock it.”

“But… what’s this?”

“You must have already guessed it. This is another gift from me to you. Do you

remember when Xinxin asked you to move near his school to help with his studies? I told you then that the house was too small for you and I would buy you a nice villa. So, this is for you.”

“You bought me a villa?!” Lin Wan was shocked.

She remembered her friend Yang Ruoxi had gotten serious with one of her boyfriends. When they decided to buy a house to settle down after marriage, Yang Ruoxi suggested splitting the price and ownership of the house. The boyfriend had gotten angry, and they had broken up.

Lin Wan had seen and heard so many similar things happening that she had deduced that rich men tended to be showy but when it came to joint ownership, they always got angry. But Li Yanchen seemed to be an exception.

Li Yanchen led her to the Chinese garden at the back of the villa. Lin Wan was still in a daze and couldn’t focus on the scenery. She was still overwhelmed by Li Yanchen’s gift.

“This was the only villa available in the middle of a lake. There were no new houses for sale. There were some old villas, but they needed to be renovated. I didn’t have the time to oversee the renovation. The owner was willing to sell this place, thankfully. It’s fairly new,” said Li Yanchen. “Wanwan, we have an appointment for the transfer of ownership this afternoon at 3 p.m. This house belongs to you. Come with me. I will show you around.”

“Here, you can do whatever you want. You can be whoever you want to be.” Li Yanchen hugged her.

He remembered Lin Wan telling him that she wanted a small house in a remote place when she was old. She wanted to be away from the traffic and the constant noise to enjoy her time planting chrysanthemums in peace.

Li Yanchen had looked for a place like that. The countryside was too far away from Yun City. The closest he could find was the Peach Blossom residence.

Lin Wan was in a daze all afternoon. After the transfer of ownership was completed, she received the property ownership document with her name on it. Lin Wan suggested putting Li Yanchen’s name on the document in joint ownership. However, he refused. He wanted the place to be her own. In the end, he urged her to sign the document.

Lin Wan was now the sole owner of a villa of 500 square meters. She had never received such an expensive gift in her life. She gazed at the property ownership document in her hand.

“Alright. That’s done,” said Li Yanchen. “If you want to renovate the place or change something, I will have Assistant Qin get on it right away. You can tell him what style you want, and he will handle it.” He was worried that Lin Wan might not like the old-fashioned decorations left behind by the previous owner.

Lin Wan felt that the place was already good. It would be such a waste to throw away all the old decorations.

“No, no. I like the decorations just fine. Will we be living here from now on?” she asked.

“We can stay for a while. If you want to do some shopping, you can stay in Royal Water Bay. If you want to be alone, you can stay here and enjoy the peace.” Li Yanchen caressed her face. “I want to give you everything I can, including myself. If I can be with you even for a short while, that is worth more than any other happiness in this life.”

“Did you buy this villa because I told you once that I wanted to live in a remote place with mountains and rivers?”

“Well… I want to live in the mountains and rivers too. I figured we both liked the same thing.”

“But… I was just saying that. You didn’t have to…”

“Wanwan, as far as I am able, I want to fulfill your wishes. I want to give you everything. Don’t worry. This makes me happy, too.” Li Yanchen kissed her softly. ‘When Xinxin gets into high school, it will be just you and me at home. We can take turns living between the villas to make things more exciting.” Lin Wan wrapped her coat tightly around herself. “But…’

“Please accept it,” said Li Yanchen. “Wait… should I buy you a car to travel from one villa to another? You don’t even use the car I gave you. Tell me what car you like, so I can buy it for you. Just help me spend this money to buy you what you like, alright? Now, sit tight. We will drive to the middle of the lake to enjoy the view.” Li Yanchen fastened his seat belt.

In the afternoon, Li Zexin pulled Li Zexuan and Xiao Yi over to play “Fight the Landlord” with his friends.

Li Zexuan lost every single time, irrespective of whether he was a landlord or a farmer.

In the end, Xiao Yi couldn’t take it anymore. He stood behind Li Zexuan to guide him in the game.

“Wind God, my brother is dumber than me, especially in games. While playing any kind of game, it makes me feel like I am the smartest one in the family,” said Li Zexin smugly.

Li Zexuan, who was already on the verge of losing again, elbowed Li Zexin. “Says the person who didn’t pass the monthly math test.”

Xiao Yi’s gaze turned to Li Zexin.

Li Zexin covered his brother’s mouth. “The test was difficult, okay? Only two people managed to pass..”
