Chapter 333: Stubborn yet considerate Maki
After sending all the photos of the house to the two girls, Sawayama Haruno soon received their reply text messages.
After some thought, he asked curiously, "Where is the exact location of this mountaintop villa?"
The house he was talking about was the only one marked as a hilltop villa on the tablet, and it was also the one that Morikawa Riho couldn't help but complain about before.
Seeing Sawayama Haruno suddenly bring it up, Morikawa Riho's heart suddenly tightened, and she couldn't help but gently pull his pants under the table.
Kiriyama-sensei, please don't buy it.
Morikawa Riho had a headache. This kind of mountaintop villa was very novel to live in at first, but after living there for a long time it was definitely not as convenient as a house in a central area. People bought it to go there occasionally for vacation, not to live there for a long time.
The house itself is located in a relatively remote area in Minato Ward. If you really buy it, even if you have a private car, it will take some effort to go to the center of Tokyo. In the words of Riho Morikawa herself, this kind of house is the type that will not cheat the poor.
"this?"
Saito Terutarou enthusiastically helped to introduce them, and from time to time he glanced at Morikawa Riho with a somewhat strange look.
The other party thought that his action just now was very covert, but was still accidentally discovered by Saito Terutarou.
“Although this house is labeled as a hilltop villa, it is actually just built on a small hill, far from being a normal hilltop.”
Saito Terutarou put on a professional fake smile and said, "It is indeed a bit far from the center of the port area, but the owner of this villa has been selling it for many years. If Mr. Zeshan is interested in buying it, I can also help try to contact him and see if I can get a discount."
"That's it"
Sawayama Haruno ignored Morikawa Riho who was making faces desperately, and stroked his chin, beginning to feel conflicted.
He is not a fool and knows that such a house would be uncomfortable to live in for a long time, but there is a fool in his family. As soon as the photo was sent, Miyazawa Maki had already made her choice.
Well. After all, Maji is the oldest now, so it’s okay for him to act stupid once in a while.
Besides, there was no need to rush to move in after buying the house. The apartment they had settled in in Shinjuku would not end for a long time, and by the time it ended, he would have already made a lot of money from "Norwegian Wood".
In his opinion, such a big house might be a good place for Maki or Suguha to relax occasionally.
If worst comes to worst, you can bring them there to live for a while after getting married, or you can go there to rest after giving birth. The environment near the mountaintop villa is better than other houses.
"Then Mr. Saito, please help me contact him."
Zeshan Haruno pondered for a moment and said tactfully: "But I still need to think about it for a while, and I also need to discuss the house with my family."
"I understand."
Seeing that Haruno Yamazawa seemed really interested in purchasing this luxurious mountaintop villa, Saito Terutarou immediately showed an extremely bright smile on his face.
On the contrary, Morikawa Riho on the side had a stern face from the beginning, as if she didn't want to talk.
"Are there any other houses? Besides villas and large flats?"
"some."
Saito Terutarou immediately helped switch the document to information about apartment-style residences and duplex houses.
Most of the houses above are located in other areas of Tokyo, with the largest number near Shibuya.
Sawayama Haruno took a few casual glances and found that the houses above did not quite meet his requirements, and immediately looked uninterested.
Living in such a place would be very convenient for going to school or work, but other disadvantages are also obvious, and the environment is definitely not as good as the wealthy residential areas in Minato Ward and Ota Ward.
I feel like I shouldn’t consider buying a house in this kind of place. If I were still single, or if I only had Maki Miyazawa as my girlfriend, then buying these houses would be quite appropriate.
Sawayama Haruno touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and then asked Saito Terutarou in front of him.
They chatted for a while in the cafe until time slowly came to half past four. Seeing that he had already introduced the other houses to Sawayama Haruno and that Morikawa Riho was not happy the whole time, Saito Terutarou was tactful and left first.
As the waiter came forward to take away the half cup of coffee he left, Sawayama Haruno finally couldn't help it anymore.
He looked at Morikawa Riho who looked nonchalant and said with a smile: "Is Ms. Morikawa angry?"
"I do not have."
Morikawa Riho rolled her eyes, and after calming down, she said calmly, "I just think you don't take money seriously enough. If you really want to buy that house, you'll have to spend most of your royalties on it, and you'll still have to pay off the mortgage, right?"
She had suppressed all of her over-the-top emotions. After all, she was just helping out here as Sawayama Haruno's editor, and getting too involved would not be good for their relationship.
As an adult, Riho Morikawa naturally has her own way of regulating herself.
Of course, she didn't think it was all her fault. If it was her fault, she shouldn't have come to help.
She suddenly felt a little regretful and didn't know why she came here so enthusiastically. Anyway, Zeshan Haruno would not listen to her opinions.
"I know what Ms. Morikawa means."
Sawayama Haruno supported his chin and smiled, "I just showed interest, but I didn't say I wanted to buy it now. If Mr. Saito contacts the other party and finds out that he has offered a very high price, I won't buy it."
"You better be."
Morikawa Riho pursed her lips and sighed softly, "Can't you buy a house closer to the city center? Why do you insist on living in a villa in a wealthy area?"
She didn't quite understand the other party's actions. After all, few young people would go to such places to buy houses. It was not only a question of whether they could afford so much money, but also a question of investment vision.
Of course, those who can buy houses in such wealthy residential areas are basically people over 40 or 50 years old. It may be very rare to find someone as young as Sawayama Haruno.
In fact, we can't blame the other party entirely. After all, Morikawa Riho didn't know that Sawayama Haruno was still dating Esaki Suguha. He didn't want to let down Esaki Suguha, who had lived in a luxurious mansion since childhood, so he thought about buying a better house as possible.
"It doesn't matter. After I get the royalties, I'll have money again."
Sawayama Haruno didn't explain the reason to Morikawa Riho. He stroked his chin and thought: "Buy a house in the city center? Or maybe buy one in Bunkyo Ward later."
".Mr. Kiriyama, please give me a house later." Morikawa Riho said with some resentment.
It's really irritating when rich people talk. I've worked hard in Tokyo for so many years but still can't afford a house in Bunkyo Ward. After paying the down payment, the remaining money may not be enough to pay for three installments. But Sawayama Haruno wants to buy two at once.
"I dare to give it, do you dare to accept it?"
Sawayama Haruno joked.
"If you dare to give it to me, I'll take it." Morikawa Riho rolled her eyes again and said unhappily, "What's there to be afraid of? What else can I do if I suffer a loss again?"
"Please spare me." Zeshan Haruno stopped in time and raised his hands to show surrender. He smiled and said, "Where are you going to eat tonight?"
They agreed to have dinner together in the evening, of course, the main reason was that Morikawa Riho wanted to make a killing from Sawayama Haruno.
I have troubled him to make this trip again, so it would be a bit unreasonable not to treat him. It's almost five o'clock now. If I take a taxi to the restaurant now, I should be able to make it in time for dinner.
"To Ginza."
Morikawa Riho pretended to be angry and stood up, muttering, "It's too much of a loss to only let you treat me once. I should let you treat me more often."
She has already decided which restaurant to go to tonight, and she will not show any mercy when it comes to swindling big dogs.
At the same time, in the Miyazawa family.
The girl with short hair is sitting at her desk at this moment, looking at her hair that is getting longer day by day, thoughtfully.
"Do you want to cut it?"
Miyazawa Maki was a little confused.
She used to keep short hair to distinguish herself from Mana, and another reason was that she thought curling her hair would give her a cool look.
But after a long time, you will get tired of it, and the thought of growing long hair will flash through your mind from time to time.
I wonder if Haruno would like me with long hair.
No, absolutely.
Miyazawa Maki's face couldn't help but turn a little darker.
You don't need to ask why I had such a stupid idea. After all, the example is right downstairs.
Even if we ignore the example downstairs, when they were pasting together before, every time Haruno put on a wig and a JK uniform, he seemed to be more excited than usual.
If you add some taboo names, not only will the other person be excited, but you will also become more difficult to control.
Why do I feel like I have a strange habit?
Miyazawa Maki puffed up her cheeks, feeling inexplicably depressed, but after seeing the picture of the house that the other party had just sent, she quickly smiled again.
"Forget it. I'll spare you this time because of the big villa." She said happily.
Sawayama Haruno had no idea that he had escaped a disaster for no reason. After all, Miyazawa Maki felt that this mountaintop villa looked particularly luxurious and grand.
She didn't care whether the place was convenient or not, she just wanted to experience it.
Although the Miyazawa family's house is also very big, it is not a villa. The largest house she has ever seen is probably where Ezaki Suguha used to live, and the second largest house is the picture that Sawayama Haruno just sent.
Judging from the information in the picture, there seem to be a lot of vacant rooms in the villa.
Seven rooms, well, are not enough to accommodate a football team, but that doesn't matter. She can't have that many children anyway. Even if we take into account the babies that Ezaki Suguha will have in the future, seven rooms will be more than enough.
"咚咚-"
There was a knock on the door.
Miyazawa Maki immediately put away her smile, cleared her throat and said, "What?"
The door was gently opened from the outside, and it was a beautiful girl with the same appearance as her.
Miyazawa Mana looked at her sister with a smile and said gently, "We'll be eating soon. I'll come up and call you."
"Oh--"
Miyazawa Maki hesitated for a moment. She didn't want to agree so readily, but her stomach did make a growling sound.
After repeatedly reminding herself that she was not reconciling with Mana, she followed him down the stairs with a reluctant look and brisk steps.
Their parents had been waiting downstairs for a long time.
"Christmas is coming up in a few days, right?"
Seeing Maki Miyazawa coming down, Miyazawa's father pushed his glasses and said slowly, "Did you tell Haruno what time I'll pick you up?"
"not yet."
Miyazawa Maki said lazily: "It's not like I can't go back by myself. He's been busy these days."
She was still very considerate of her man. After all, she had to work hard for herself and her unborn babies, find time to deal with the issue of buying a house, and also have to reserve some energy to balance the relationship between herself and Suguha. Doing all these things at the same time sounded tiring.
Especially since his work situation has not been going well recently and the school leaders have talked to him. Coupled with the recent revelations, it goes without saying that Sawayama Haruno is as busy as a top.
Therefore, Miyazawa Maki felt that such a small matter as going home did not require the other party to come and pick her up specially. She planned to call a taxi to go back by herself. After all, she was not to the point where she had difficulty moving.
"It would be better to let Haruno come and pick you up."
Miyazawa Mana brought the dishes out of the kitchen. Looking at her sister's appearance, she couldn't help but persuade her, "You haven't told him what date you'll be back, have you? If you did, he would definitely be willing to take the time to come pick you up."
"I can arrange it myself." Miyazawa Maki curled her lips.
"Let couples handle their own affairs."
Miyazawa's mother, contrary to her usual behavior, started to help.
She reached out to take the dish from Mana and said calmly, "There's no point worrying too much. Haruno might have already made preparations to come and pick him up."
Her attitude towards Maki has undergone a drastic change. Of course, it is also related to the unborn twin babies.
After realizing that she might still have a chance to make amends, Miyazawa's mother began to try another way to contact her two daughters.
Although it is unclear whether the changes were caused by Sawayama Haruno, or whether the invisible barrier between her and her daughter has gradually faded over time, the current family atmosphere is much better than before. At least they can sit together and eat peacefully.
At the dinner table, the other three, except Miyazawa Maki, would chat from time to time.
However, although it seems that Mana Miyazawa is catering to her parents' topics, she actually has her own little thoughts.
"Is it Christmas?"
She repeated it silently in her mind.
