The two of them walked a little closer, then came running over with a patter.
"Brother Cheng," Lin Miaomiao said before she had even steadied herself.
"Brother Cheng~" Deng Xiaoqi also called out in a soft, sweet voice.
Chen Cheng nodded with a smile and responded, "Hey~"
He raised an eyebrow, looking them over, "It's early in the morning, where are you two going?"
One of them had a monthly exam coming up, and the other had an art exam soon.
Wandering around outside so early clearly didn't seem like anything good.
Lin Miaomiao's eyes widened immediately, as she had only been thinking about good food.
After a long while, she gave an awkward laugh and pointed into the distance, "Oh~ Xiao Qi and I are going to the bookstore to see if there are any new test papers."
Chen Cheng's mouth twitched, and he gave her a glare, "Isn't your motto 'sleeping in class, sleeping during exams' now, Lin Miaomiao?"
"You're going back to the bookstore? And you still need test papers?"
"Uh..."
Lin Miaomiao was very embarrassed and muttered, "How does Brother Cheng know about that?"
Deng Xiaoqi held back a laugh and glanced at the back seat. Seeing three beauties, she was stunned for a moment, then turned back to ask Chen Cheng softly:
"Brother Cheng, where are you guys going?"
Chen Cheng looked back at the three women in the back. Seeing them all looking at him with faint smiles, though those smiles were a bit chilling.
Chen Cheng couldn't be bothered with that, "Oh~ I'm planning to move in here. Just taking some friends to check out the place."
"Moving to a new house?" Lin Miaomiao's eyes lit up immediately, and she blurted out without thinking, "Can we go?"
Checking out the place was no big deal, so he nodded, "Sure."
"There's still one seat in the passenger side, which one of you wants to come?" He raised his hand and pointed to the end of the alley, "But it's not far, it's just at the very end of the alley."
The two of them looked back, it was only a hundred meters away, "Then we'll walk over."
Chen Cheng nodded, "Alright, I'll wait for you at the entrance."
Chen Cheng smiled and drove into the alley.
He drove straight into the courtyard at the end of the alley. The gate was just opened by Eleven.
As they got out of the car, the nanny, Aunt Qiu, came up to greet them, "Mr. Chen."
Chen Cheng smiled and nodded, "Aunt Qiu, just go about your business, no need to be so polite."
He turned his head to introduce the three women, "Oh right, Aunt Qiu, these three beauties are my friends."
"Ye Zhenzhen, Fang Zhiheng, Zhu Zhe."
Aunt Qiu beamed and greeted them, "Miss Ye, Miss Fang, Miss Zhu."
"Aunt Qiu~"
At this moment, Deng Xiaoqi and Lin Miaomiao also walked in.
As soon as she entered, Lin Miaomiao looked around, "Wow, Brother Cheng, your courtyard is so big."
Chen Cheng was a bit speechless and waved for the two to come over.
Chen Cheng introduced the two little ones to the three women, "This is Lin Miaomiao and Deng Xiaoqi, they are both classmates of Rui Rui."
Looking at Lucy and Lin Miaomiao, he added, "Miao Miao is Lin Dawei's daughter."
Now Lucy understood, Lin Dawei's daughter.
"..."
After they finished greeting, Chen Cheng led them into the house.
He took them on a tour. There were a total of six suites upstairs and downstairs, and the basement had a reading room, a media room, and a wine cellar.
There definitely weren't enough bedrooms to go around.
That was also one of the reasons why Lucy didn't dare to choose.
The main part of the upstairs was decorated in a French vintage style, looking very low-key, but with a lot of texture and style.
The basement was more modern.
Ye Zhenzhen looked at the circular display rack in the wine cellar, filled with wine, and complained to Chen Cheng speechlessly.
"You really are a big drunkard."
Besides this display rack, on the other side of the wine cellar, there was a whole wall of cabinets filled with baijiu, whiskey, and other types of booze.
Chen Cheng didn't care, he lifted his chin and spread his hands, "Have you ever seen me get drunk?"
"Uh..."
Ye Zhenzhen couldn't hold it back. At most, she had seen this person slightly tipsy, but she had never seen him completely unconscious from drinking.
However, when it comes to drinking, whether you get drunk depends on the person.
Some people know that once they've had too much, they won't drink another drop.
Such people are extremely rational even when paralyzed by alcohol.
Their vigilance is extremely high, and they will never let themselves fall into a state of loss of control.
Lin Miaomiao was stunned, staring with wide eyes as she exclaimed, "So much wine, how much must this cost."
Everyone was amused by her.
They shook their heads and continued to watch people look at Chen Cheng's wine collection.
No one felt offended by Lin Miaomiao saying this.
After a brief interaction, the three women could tell this girl had a scatterbrained personality. Saying this was purely because she lacked that kind of awareness.
If it were He Minhong saying this, everyone would probably feel awkward.
There's no helping it, sometimes being young has social advantages.
Others will think you are young and forgive your unintentional mistakes.
Chen Cheng didn't answer Lin Miaomiao directly, just smiled, "It doesn't cost much."
"You're a child, what are you looking at wine for? Go out, go out~"
This girl is currently in a rebellious phase. If she gets seduced by material things, she will completely go astray.
This is not what Scum Cheng wants to see.
Even with himself as this butterfly, Chen Cheng still hopes that Lin Miaomiao, this scatterbrain, can spend her youth happily.
In reality, the money Chen Cheng spent on this wine was more than the renovation of this house.
Lin Miaomiao raised her chin, very proudly, "Hmph~ I'm having a birthday soon, alright."
"I'll be an adult soon."
Chen Cheng gave her a glare, "I think I should find some time to chat with Sister Shengnan about how to raise kids."
Lin Miaomiao stomped her feet in a rush, "Brother Cheng, you play dirty!"
"You're actually calling the parents!"
Now, not only Deng Xiaoqi but the three women were amused by her silly appearance.
Deng Xiaoqi had a smile on her lips, poked her waist, and whispered: "He's teasing you."
Lin Miaomiao's face turned red instantly.
She glared at Chen Cheng angrily.
After wandering around for a while, they went upstairs and flopped onto the sofa.
They originally saw a mahjong table and said they wanted to play mahjong, but since it was almost mealtime, they went upstairs first.
Hearing about eating, Lin Miaomiao's eyes lit up.
She couldn't sit still and wandered around inside and outside the house.
Chen Cheng was checking his phone when Lin Miaomiao ran in from the courtyard in a hurry.
"Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng!"
Chen Cheng turned to look at her, "What's wrong? Did you see a ghost?"
Lin Miaomiao's face was full of excitement, she couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth, "No."
"There's a cat giving birth to kittens in your courtyard."
"What?" Chen Cheng was stunned, "Where?"
Lin Miaomiao pointed to the bushes in the corner of the courtyard, "Right in that greenery."
"One has already been born, the mother cat is licking the kitten's fur."
Ye Zhenzhen, Lucy, and Zhu Zhe also raised their heads.
Chen Cheng was stunned. On my first day moving here, I'm gifted a litter of kittens?
Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow, stood up, "Let's go take a look."
When he said this, the women also got up and followed.
Walking up close, everyone squatted down after Lin Miaomiao, and only then did they see the cat in the bushes following the position of her finger.
Seeing the mother cat, Ye Zhenzhen's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "It's a fat orange cat~"
