Ning Xi raised her eyebrows. "Move back? CEO Ning, did you have a little too much to drink today?"
Ning Yaohua was surprisingly not incensed by Ning Xi's sarcastic tone. He still spoke kindly, "Ning Xi, you're my daughter. No matter what, I'll never neglect you! It's not good for you to stay outside alone anyway. Just come back and live with us. Our house is big and the room you've been using is still there!"
Ning Xi almost laughed out loud.
Her room…
It was about a third of Ning Xueluo's room and had been modified from being a maid's room. Their initial reason was that they were afraid she might mess up the place. They would change her room once she learned her manners, but then...nothing happened…
Ning Xi looked at Ning Yaohua suspiciously.
Ning Yaohua's sudden change in attitude must only be because of one thing…
Grandfather was going to write his will.
After he was discharged from the hospital the last time, Grandfather had the intention to write it.
So, was this her father trying to get her share of the will?
Although she did not care about what she would get from the Ning family, if her grandfather gave it to her, she would never give it to Ning Yaohua.
"Ning Xi...Ning Xi? Did you hear me? What a coincidence today! Just in time when you're thinking of moving. Isn't it great that you can move back with us right away?" Ning Yaohua said.
Ning Xi crossed her arms as she looked at the truck and sneered, "Are you sure that room can fit all my stuff here?"
Ning Yaohua was a little taken aback by her brazen reply. "Although we have quite a few rooms at home, most of them are occupied. We can't let you stay in the guest room as well. If you're not using these things, then just put them in the storeroom."
Ning Xi looked at the man with an odd expression. "Sure, I can go back as long as you let me stay in the room that's supposed to be mine."
Ning Yaohua's expression changed. "Ning Xi, what do you mean by that? You want to take Xueluo's room now? Xueluo has been staying there since she was a child. How does that room belong to you now?" Compared to Ning Xi, Ning Yaohua was more inclined to Ning Xueluo's side.
Ning Xi was bored with him now. She did not even bother replying him anymore, so she turned around and prepared to leave.
"Ning Xi! Ning Xi, stop! Where are you moving to?" Ning Yaohua did not give up and kept on asking.
"I bought my own house," Ning Xi replied.
Ning Yaohua laughed. "What kind of house can you buy with that salary of yours? A studio apartment or a two-bedroom house? How could those places possibly be better than our house? Why do you have to make yourself suffer? And your job, you should really quit it now…"
Before Ning Xi could say anything else, the driver could not stand it anymore and popped his head out. "Mister, your daughter bought a house in Peachwood!"
After Ning Xi got into the car, the driver closed the door and started the engine.
The truck moved away, leaving Ning Yaohua behind, stunned…
"P-Peachwood…"
Did he hear him wrongly?
Ning Xi had bought a house in Peachwood? How could it be Peachwood!?
Peachwood was an neighbourhood of villas that cost in tens of millions each. It was located in an even better district than the Ning family's villa and was also one of the famous areas for the wealthy…
How could she afford a house there?

She only took on a few supporting character roles and attended some variety shows that did not pay much…
Ning Yaohua had a flashback. He remembered when Lu Jingli had come to pick Ning Xi up.
Could Ning Xi...be his mistress? Did he buy her the house?
That did not sound right…
He investigated after what had happened the last time and found out that Ning Xi and Lu Jingli only maintained a professional relationship. However, if they were really affiliated, how was it that Ning Xi had not gotten any huge roles yet?
…
At Peachwood.
"Thank you! Please have a drink!"
As she finished her sentence, a metallic robot came out with few glasses on a tray, imoving towards the workers.
"Alright, thank you! Ah...this!" The workers were surprised when they saw a robot approaching them.
Ning Xi smiled. "Don't worry, this is a robot. It's pretty smart."
The robot scanned the three workers, then gave them a glass of water each. To their astonishment, it was able to deliver the water into their hands accurately.
The three of them were impressed. The moment they stepped in, they actually realized that the house was equipped with high technology.
So, this was how the rich lived!
The workers left after they were done.
Ning Xi started to unpack her things. "Steamed bun, play a song for me!"
"Master, my name is Andrew, not steamed bun. Master, what song would you like to listen to?"
"Whatever."
A short while later, inside the high-tech house, a song belted out, "Ah! Today is a good day! Whatever you think could happen, tomorrow is a good day! The moment you open the door, the spring breeze will arrive…"
Ning Xi almost fell down when she heard the song.
Well, this song...hit the nail on the head…
"The song is pretty good. Thanks, steamed bun!"
"Master, my name is Andrew, not steamed bun. Glad to be of your service!"
Little Treasure really loved his robots. He usually put them in a room exclusively for them in Platinum Palace. When he found out that Ning Xi was moving, he gave her his most prized butler robot to her.
As Ning Xi was arranging her things, the doorbell rang.
She just moved here. Who could it be?
Ning Xi took a glance at the security camera. It was Lu Tingxiao, so she quickly opened the door in surprise. "Boss? Why are you here!? Come in! I thought you said you were going to be busy today."
"I have to be here to set up our matrimonial home no matter how busy I am."
"Okay...then why don't you key in the password to come in?"
"I'd like to see you open the door for me."
Ning Xi stayed silent.
Could their conversation stay happy?
Well, actually, she was being flirted with quite jovially.
The moment Lu Tingxiao stepped in, he heard the high-pitched "Today Is A Good Day" song and he clearly found it good., "This song...is interesting."
"Hahaha...you think it's nice too? Steamed bun chose it! It's so cute! Especially when it said 'my name is Andrew, not steamed bun!'"
Lu Tingxiao stared at the robot, suddenly feeling like it had become another new threat to his love…
With Lu Tingxiao's help, Ning Xi finished setting up her room. She stood in front of the bed and looked at her new home with satisfaction. "That's about it. I just need to get something for you and Little Treasure…"
