After class, Su Yue walked out of the teaching building and saw Chen Ziming waiting nearby.
The capital had been experiencing a significant drop in temperature recently, and he had already put on a thicker cotton jacket, paired with casual trousers, giving off a clean and youthful aura.
Their relationship was an open secret, so as people passed by, some bold classmates would greet him, asking if he was waiting for Su Yue.
He responded with a faint smile.
Seeing him, Su Yue's mood inexplicably brightened, her steps unconsciously quickening as she trotted over to him.
“Let’s go, Officer Chen~” she playfully called out as she ran to the passenger side, opened the car door, and got in.
Chen Ziming also smiled and started the car, driving her away.
Su Yue had initially expected them to go to his place or a restaurant, but to her surprise, the car drove directly to the real estate transaction center.
She suddenly had a bad feeling.
“Let’s go.” After stopping the car, he reached for the door handle.
“Wait a moment.” She grabbed his arm, took a deep breath, and asked cautiously, “What are we doing here?”
Chen Ziming raised an eyebrow and calmly replied, “Adding your name to the deed. Did you forget?”
Su Yue was stunned. She finally remembered him mentioning it on the phone when he had just returned.
“No need, I don’t want it.” She held her breath in shock and firmly refused.
Let alone their current relationship, even if they were married, she wouldn't accept half of his property.
“Yueyue, I told you, this is our home, and you must accept it. Also, next week, I’m taking you for property notarization.”
Chen Ziming was determined to gift her half of the property.
With his capabilities, gifting her several houses would be effortless, but this particular house was where they lived together, making it exceptionally significant.
He had said he was her home, but a home couldn't just be a fleeting promise; it needed tangible existence for him to honor his commitment.
Su Yue immediately understood his intention but couldn't accept it.
Her expression turned serious, and she replied earnestly, “Chen Ziming, you’re making things difficult for me.”
“If you don’t accept it, I won’t be at ease,” he said, reaching out to ruffle her hair, then casually unbuckling her seatbelt.
His words left Su Yue bewildered.
“Darling.” Seeing her resistance, Chen Ziming decided to stop and have a proper talk.
“Hmm.” She looked at him warily, squeezing out a response.
“I just want to give you a tangible home. Sooner or later, this house will have your name on it. What’s the harm in adding it sooner?”
His voice was deep, patient, and sincere.
With him saying this, Su Yue didn’t know how to refuse anymore.
For a young master like Chen Ziming, accustomed to wealth and luxury, he probably couldn’t grasp the value half of his property held for an ordinary person.
To him, adding her name involved no consideration of financial impact; all he cared about was a practical sense of ceremony.
Considering his recent recovery and potential insecurity, Su Yue finally decided to compromise.
“Alright, but just adding my name is enough. I don’t want to do property notarization,” she replied softly but firmly.
She had some understanding of legal matters. She had made no financial contribution to this property, so even with her name added, there wouldn’t be any property division issues later on.
Unless they proceeded with notarization, where he would explicitly sign a contract gifting her half.
Upon hearing her words, Chen Ziming remained silent for a long time.
Finally, he let out a somewhat subdued “Mm” before getting out of the car and taking her to complete the paperwork.
Su Yue had to admit that although she had previously thought his actions were rash, seeing the house officially registered under both their names filled her heart with joy.
Ceremony was a wonderful thing. Even though she felt it had nothing to do with money, the name imprinted on the property deed brought her immense peace of mind.
It was truly magical. In this way, this luxurious high-rise apartment now felt like their actual home.
A warm and happy home, where she would spend many, many more years with him.
“Do you want to do the property notarization now?” Chen Ziming could naturally see the joy in her eyes and smiled too.
“No.” Although Su Yue was happy, she hadn’t lost her senses and quickly shook her head.
However, that evening, she still had him accompany her on a shopping spree, buying many decorative items and plants for the apartment according to her taste.
In her previous living situations, she had never been able to arrange things as she pleased.
Now that she finally had a home, she naturally wanted to decorate it according to her own desires.
And this was precisely Chen Ziming's objective.
It was his way of ensuring she would stay by his side even further.
