Chapter 495: Chapter 456: Gentle Lies
Huang Jun drove his Wuling mini car, speeding down the broad road, the sound of the tires rubbing against the ground seemed to compose a joyful melody for this moving trip.
The atmosphere inside the car was equally lively.
Qingqing and Weiwei sat in the back seat, their mood had already shifted from reluctant farewells to anticipation for the new home, their big eyes staring out the window at the ever-changing scenery.
Whenever they saw something particularly interesting, the two little ones would exchange a knowing smile...
Their pure joy filled the car.
Huang Jun occasionally shifted his gaze from the road ahead to the rear-view mirror, seeing Liu Shiwei driving his Maybach steadily behind, not too far, not too close, like a loyal guardian, adding a sense of reassurance to this moving journey.
He smiled warmly, resting one hand lightly on the steering wheel, while adjusting the music in the car with the other hand, selecting a lively tune that echoed inside the car.
He met Qingqing and Weiwei’s gaze through the rear-view mirror and asked, "Qingqing, Weiwei, we’re almost at the new home. Aren’t you particularly excited?"
"Of course we are!"
Qingqing’s eyes sparkled, answering excitedly, "The new home is so big and beautiful, just thinking about it makes me happy!"
Weiwei nodded in agreement, her smile even brighter, "Yeah, the new home is really beautiful, just like the ones we see on TV~"
At this very moment.
An abrupt ringing of the phone broke their conversation.
"Ring ring~"
For driving safety, Huang Jun quickly put on his headset, not even having time to glance at the caller ID, and hurriedly pressed the answer button, greeting in a courteous tone, "Hello, good day."
On the other end came Yang Yuxi’s gentle and caring voice, "Qingqing’s dad, where are you now?"
Huang Jun, slightly startled, quickly replied, "Oh, Miss Yang, I’m on the road to Linting Garden. May I ask if you need something from me?"
No sooner had he finished speaking.
He had a flash of insight, suddenly realizing the possible deeper meaning behind this call—could it be that Yang Yuxi intended to come help him move?
"Actually... it’s nothing particularly important..."
Yang Yuxi’s voice held an almost imperceptible smile, her eyes showing a touch of foresight, and her lips curled into a gentle curve, "I originally wanted to tell you that something urgent came up today, and I can’t help with the move. I didn’t expect you would already be on your way to the new home."
Huang Jun quickly reassured her, "It’s all right, Miss Yang, you go ahead and take care of your matters. I don’t have much stuff, and President Liu and several friends came this morning to help, so we have enough hands. Don’t worry about us and just handle your business."
Yang Yuxi gently responded, "That’s good, I sincerely wish you a smooth moving process, may everything be well and safe!"
"Okay! Thank you, Miss Yang, that’ll be it for now. I’m still driving, so I won’t chat for long."
Huang Jun replied with a smile, then gently pressed the end call button amidst Yang Yuxi’s soft admonition, "Be careful on the road."
"Daddy, is Miss Yang not coming anymore?"
Qingqing blinked her large watery eyes, her gaze filled with a bit of reluctance and puzzlement.
Weiwei added with a hint of disappointment in her voice, "Yeah, daddy, we were hoping to play with Miss Yang today!"
Noticing their subtle emotional shift, Huang Jun looked at them tenderly and softly explained, "Well, Qingqing, Weiwei, Miss Yang has something urgent today and can’t come to help us move. But she’s always keeping us in her thoughts, isn’t she?"
Qingqing and Weiwei’s little faces were full of disappointment, but they nodded understandingly and admitted, "Yes, Miss Yang is always so nice."
After saying this, they added with a bit of regret, "It’s just a pity that we can’t be with Miss Yang today!"
Huang Jun: "..."
These little ones cared so much about Miss Yang.
He comforted them, "Don’t be sad. Tomorrow, you’ll be able to play with Miss Yang."
With this, the little ones’ eyes brightened up instantly, recalling their plans with Yang Yuxi tomorrow. Their faces lit up with smiles, and the disappointment was washed away by the anticipation for tomorrow.
Qingqing’s face beamed with a playful smile, saying, "Yeah, look at me, how could I forget about the date with Miss Yang! Daddy’s memory is indeed the sharpest..."
Weiwei also excitedly agreed, "Right, we’ll see Miss Yang tomorrow. How exciting~"
Amidst the laughter and chatter.
Huang Jun’s Wuling mini car leisurely cruised to the entrance of Linting Garden, and through the car window, he gave the security guard a friendly smile and said, "Hello, security buddy, I’m the new resident of building eight, unit five, room 503."
"Hey, hello, I remember you, come on in." The security guard immediately recognized Huang Jun, waved him in with a big smile, and reminded, "Oh, by the way, take a moment to register your license plate with the property office, so you can directly come in next time."
"Sure thing, thanks for the reminder, I’ll jot it down." Huang Jun replied heartily, then turned the topic, "Oh, by the way, security buddy, the big guy following behind is my friend’s car, he specially came today to help me move, please let him in too."
The security guard heard this and curiously turned his head, his gaze instantly drawn to the luxury Maybach following closely behind, his face immediately filled with astonishment and disbelief.
A person driving a Wuling...
actually has friends who drive a Maybach...
Such connections are truly enviable!
Speaking of which.
Where can you meet friends like this? He wants to have them too!
"No problem, let him in." The security guard came back to his senses, quickly adjusted his emotions, and said to Huang Jun, "Your friend’s car is pretty impressive, truly grand."
"That’s right!"
Huang Jun nodded with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, we’ll head in first then."
Saying this, he continued driving his Wuling, slowly entering Linting Garden Estate with Qingqing and Weiwei.
Following the road within the estate, he finally found a suitable spot near his floor and parked the car steadily.
"The environment in this estate is really nice."
Chef Ge was the first to get out of the Maybach, his gaze wandering among the estate’s greenery, flower beds, and tidy buildings.
Liu Shiwei’s family of three followed closely, looking at the estate’s environment. He suddenly said to Wen Xueqian, "Xueqian, why don’t we also buy a unit opposite Huang Jun’s? That way we can become neighbors with Chef Huang, and it’ll be convenient for Hanhan to go to school."
Wen Xueqian smiled gently, "I have no problem with that!"
"Yay~"
Liu Ruihan cheered happily.
Ah!
Having money sure makes one willful!
Talking about a house worth millions as casually as buying cabbage.
Huang Jun couldn’t help but sigh while unloading the luggage from the car.
Seeing this, Liu Shiwei and the others also stepped forward to help, carefully taking the luggage out of the car, then cautiously sending it into the elevator, ascending together.
"Ding~"
As the elevator doors elegantly slid open, everyone orderly moved the luggage out, heading toward the entrance of the new home.
At that moment.
An unexpected scene unfolded—
Bang! Bang!
With two muffled sounds, countless shimmering pieces of colored paper were launched into the air, transforming into a vibrant rain of colors that gently fell,
"Chef Huang (Qingqing’s Dad), wishing you a joyous moving day, all the best," accompanied by these warm blessings, familiar and friendly faces appeared in Huang Jun’s view: Liang Yinqiu, Liu Suyu, Xie Jianing, Wang Wenxia, Chu Qiweng, Fei Juanfen, Cai Jingxian, Qian Guoxiang...
Their arrival made Huang Jun and the others feel as if they were in a dream.
Astounded beyond belief.
Particularly striking was Yang Yuxi standing quietly beside Liang Yinqiu, her gentle smile adding an extra touch of ethereal beauty.
On both sides of the home entrance, adorned with ribbons and balloons, carefully placed are moving-in celebration decorations; beside the door are various gift boxes, along with carts holding fruits and cakes.
Seeing this scene, how could Huang Jun not understand that the "something came up" Yang Yuxi mentioned on the phone was just a gentle lie? She had actually joined forces with other colleagues to secretly prepare this, adding an unexpected surprise to this special day.
"Chef Huang (Qingqing’s Dad), happy moving day!"
Everyone joyfully offered their blessings.
"Thank you! Thank you, everyone~"
Huang Jun smiled and invited, "How about coming inside first?"
With that, he opened the door.
The group filed in...
