Chapter 280: 247, Generous Pregnancy Reward! (Request for Monthly Votes)
Lanjiang Bay Phase Three.
Yang Hao parked his car in the underground garage.
Just as he was about to go upstairs, a familiar voice suddenly rang out from behind him, "Husband~"
Yang Hao was all too familiar with that voice; without looking, he knew it was Meng Chacha!
But he was here to see Yibao today and hadn't planned to go to Meng Chacha's place at all, so it was unexpected to run into her in the parking garage.
Yang Hao stopped awkwardly, then turned around to see Meng Yuyu and Yu Lili walking hand in hand toward their parking spot, seemingly just coming out of the elevator, ready to go out.
"Husband, do you have other friends living here?"
Meng Yuyu asked with a cheerful smile.
"Hmm."
Yang Hao nodded slightly.
"Husband, go ahead with your business then."
"Lili and I were just about to go out. If you need us, send me a WeChat message anytime~"
After saying that, Meng Yuyu playfully winked, her message implicit in her gesture.
"Okay!"
Yang Hao didn't bother explaining further and strode into the elevator hall of Building 8.
As his figure disappeared, Meng Yuyu let out a sigh of relief and turned to ask Yu Lili, "Did I act normal just now?"
"Pretty normal, yeah!"
Yu Lili nodded, then said with confusion, "But, didn't you want to ask if he was going to see Sun Xinyi?"
"Is that even a question?"
Meng Yuyu shrugged lightly, "Of course he was going to see Sun Xinyi!"
"But if he doesn't say it himself, I can't point it out. It would make him feel embarrassed."
A few days prior, Meng Yuyu had encountered Sun Xinyi in the parking garage, where both had casually chatted, aware of each other's existence.
Yet, at the same time, both had tactfully not mentioned the encounter to Yang Hao.
Some things are better left unspoken.
And how could Meng Chacha, a thoughtful little bitch like her, do something to annoy her own husband!
She would only have happy days if her husband was happy!
Meng Chacha understood this principle well, which was why she even regretted calling out "Husband" earlier.
She should have pretended not to see him!
Just now, it was a reflex to shout out, and she couldn't control it.
Mm, she would be more cautious in the future.
In such situations, it was better to pretend not to have seen anything!
Meng Chacha silently reflected in her mind.
Meanwhile, Yang Hao, who had already taken the elevator, was giving a mental thumbs-up to the sensible little bitch.
There were always posts by women on the internet about similar issues.
For example: Husband gives a hundred thousand a month but is hardly ever home, should I divorce him??
You'll see that the top replies often go like this.
[What husband, that's the goddamn God of Wealth.]
[No need for a hundred thousand, fifty thousand will do, I pray every day he lives long.]
[Divorce? Are you crazy? If he keeps giving money, I'd be okay even with serving his mistress during her postpartum recovery.]
[...]
In reality, there are indeed many who have either had an ideological collapse or have seen the light.
Because you only realize after experiencing it that love and marriage are, in fact, just so-so.
To put it selfishly, one should still treat oneself better in life.
The sincerity you give may not be met with sincerity in return, but rather ingratitude!
And Meng Chacha, you could say she's a clear-headed person, or you could say she's the epitome of materialism without a bottom line!
It all depends on the angle from which you view it.
"Yuyu, I truly admire you."
"If it were me, I really couldn't do it," Yu Lili remarked by her side.
"Didn't you also not ask just now?"
Meng Yuyu asked with a laugh in return.
"I..."
Yu Lili gave a wry smile, "I don't have the right to."
In front of Yang Hao, she always appeared under the guise of a clone, to put it crudely, she was just a freebie.
What right did she have to inquire about who Yang Hao was going to meet!
"Let's go, we're off for a feast!"
"And then shopping~"
Meng Yuyu pressed her car key, and the lights of her recently purchased Maserati flashed promptly.
She was now living the life she had always dreamed of, staying in a luxury house, driving a luxury car!
If she were to crave more than this, that would be ungrateful.
They got into the car, and then Meng Chacha's phone suddenly pinged. It was a bank notification of a deposit.
Yang Hao had just transferred two million to her. Read new chapters at empire
She quickly opened WeChat, and Yang Hao had just sent her a message as well: Don't skimp when shopping.
"Thank you, husband!"
"Mua~"
Meng Chacha replied swiftly and sent an "I love you" sticker.
"What's up, why so happy?"
Yu Lili curiously glanced at Meng Yuyu.
"See for yourself."
Meng Yuyu showed her the message on her phone.
And when the latter saw the two-million deposit, her mouth dropped open in shock, "Is this a reward from Yang?"
"It seems so."
Meng Yuyu smiled and nodded her head, "So, you see, you must learn to be a sensible woman."
"Yuyu, I'm totally convinced by you!"
Yu Lili raised her thumb in acknowledgment, genuinely impressed.
Elsewhere.
Yang Hao had already arrived at Sun Xinyi's home.
But he was too fast; Sun Xinyi and Xu Yali hadn't returned yet.
After about fifteen minutes, Yang Hao finally heard the door open.
"Yang?"
"Boss!!"
Seeing Yang Hao actually at home, both Sun Xinyi and Xu Yali were shocked.
"I was having a meal nearby and thought I'd drop by."
Yang Hao found a casual excuse; he had found out about Sun Xinyi's pregnancy through "System" and couldn't reveal that.
"Uh, I'm going to take a shower."
"You guys chat~"
Xu Yali tactfully returned to her own room, even thoughtfully closing the door behind her.
"Where have you been?"
Yang Hao walked over to his dear Yibao and took her small hand to ask.
"Went to the hospital."
Sun Xinyi leaned her head on Yang Hao's shoulder.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Yang Hao's tone was caring, but inside he was eager.
Come on, spill the beans!
My Yibao!!
"I'm not unwell."
Sun Xinyi paused, then looked up into Yang Hao's eyes and said, "Yang, I'm pregnant!"
"Pregnant?"
"That's great!!"
"So amazing!!"
"As expected of my Yibao!!"
Yang Hao could no longer suppress his excitement, scooping Sun Xinyi into a princess carry and holding her in his arms, he even spun around twice just like many scenes from TV dramas.
Meanwhile, Sun Xinyi was somewhat baffled; she had assumed Yang Hao would be shocked or taken aback!
Instead, he showed none of that and jumped straight to elation!
But obviously, Sun Xinyi was delighted with Yang Hao's reaction.
On the way back, she had been pondering how Yang Hao would react to the news.
Happy or conflicted.
She wondered if he'd want her to have the child!
Now, all questions were unnecessary.
His ecstatic reaction was definitely supportive of her having the child.
Although she had already made that judgment.
But Sun Xinyi still asked, "Yang, should we have this child?"
"Is that even a question?"
"Of course, we must have it!!"
Yang Hao set Sun Xinyi down on the couch and seriously said, "Starting tomorrow, you don't have to go to work!"
"Lili, come out for a second!!"
Yang Hao then called out to Xu Yali's room.
The latter had claimed to return to her room but had actually been eavesdropping at the door the entire time.
Upon hearing her boss's call, she waited a few seconds for appearances, then emerged from her room: "Boss, did you call me?"
"Yeah."
Yang Hao nodded, then instructed, "Go hire a nanny, a cook, a driver, and a bodyguard right away!"
"They must be the best; salary is not an issue!"
"Uh, okay."
Xu Yali nodded, although she wanted to stay home for the gossip, she realized there was work to do.
"There's no need for all this fuss!"
"I can manage on my own..."
Sun Xinyi felt it was too wasteful and quickly shook her head.
"No way!"
"You have to listen to me on this!" Yang Hao insisted sternly.
Sun Xinyi knew Yang Hao was thinking of her and the baby, so she didn't argue further. But now it was the end of the workday, and seeing her best friend's pleading eyes, she suggested, "Everyone's off work now. It's not easy to hire people at this time. Let's wait until tomorrow."
"Fine."
Yang Hao nodded, acknowledging that hiring people now would indeed be problematic.
Seeing Yang Hao rescind the order, Xu Yali was overjoyed, casting a grateful look at her best friend.
But then Yang Hao gave another order: "Lili, you have another task tomorrow, buy a fully furnished villa with no less than a thousand square meters of usable area, there's no budget limit."
"Ah?"
"Buying a house too?"
Xu Yali was taken aback.
"Yang, this house is enough!" Sun Xinyi's current residence was 330 square meters, and she felt it sufficed.
Yang Hao, however, shook his head: "We're going to have more people in the house in the future; this place won't be enough. Trust me!"
"Boss, so there's no budget limit?" Xu Yali weakly inquired.
"Right, no limit!"
Yang Hao nodded affirmatively, given this was Jiangcheng and not Capital City or Hucheng, he was confident in his statement.
Sun Xinyi's NPC-specific consumer funds had only spent around forty to fifty million so far, leaving about 4.5 billion. Then "System" had given another ten billion for childrearing, meaning he had 14.5 billion to improve the living standards for Yibao and her unborn child.
That didn't include Yang Hao's own assets. His plan was to first use the allocated 14.5 billion, and if that wasn't enough, he'd use his money. He didn't want his woman and child to be entirely dependent on "System" for support!
"Got it, boss."
"I promise to complete the task!"
Hearing that she could buy a house regardless of price, Xu Yali was energized. Though the house wasn't hers, and neither was the money, she could enjoy the process.
Having assigned tasks to Xu Yali, Yang Hao then turned to Sun Xinyi, saying, "Xinyi, from now on, just focus on taking care of yourself. In a while, I'll have finance transfer two billion to you to spend—don't even think of saving money!"
"And there's also a large jewelry store that will be transferred under your name. If you feel like working after having the baby, you can go there and look around..."
What??
After hearing Yang Hao's words, Sun Xinyi was momentarily dumbfounded.
Two billion for spending money!
And a large jewelry store!
Could this be the rewards her man was giving her for getting pregnant??
