Elena is a smart person.
She knows what she wants.

"Well, have you moved in?" Qiao Nian walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and the glass reflected the girl's slender figure.
She received a call from Xie Tingyun before she had time to blow-dry her hair. Her hair was hanging wetly on her shoulders, messy yet casual and cool.
Qiao Nian listened to Xie Tingyun's voice on the other end of the phone, walked to the bar, found a high stool and sat down, resting his elbows on the table to support half of his face, his long eyelashes drooping.
The light enveloped the girl, drawing a long arc.
"If you need anything, you can find... a friend of mine."
Qiao Nian said, "Wait a minute," then took out his phone, found Wei Lou's phone number and sent it to him. Then he put the phone to her ear again and said, "He is familiar with Beijing. You can ask him to show you around."
This time, Xie Tingyun moved into the courtyard house that Yuan Yongqin bought for her.
Qiao Nian owns many properties in Beijing.
They were all houses that Yuan Yongqin bought for her from time to time over the past ten years.
Usually Qiao Nian doesn't live in the properties himself, but entrusts them to professional agents to manage.
However, properties like the courtyard houses in Nanluoguxiang are not allowed to be rented out or used for other commercial purposes.
Qiao Nian just needs to find someone to take care of it regularly so that it doesn't become overgrown with weeds.
She never lived there once herself.
This time, Xie Tingyun suddenly came to Beijing to find her.
Qiao Nian thought about it and asked someone to clean up the courtyard.
This place is on the Second Ring Road, which makes it convenient to go everywhere. It is quiet in a bustling city and has an ancient charm, which meets Xie Tingyun's usual requirements for a place to live.
"I'll pass his phone number to you. Tell him later." Qiao Nian was quick and decisive in her work and rarely procrastinated. Xie Tingyun on the other end asked her how long it would take her to return.
Qiao Nian looked at the time and said, "Just these two days. I'll take care of things here and then go back."
Xie Tingyun was very happy and chatted with Qiao Nian about family matters. Seeing that it was getting late, he hung up the phone reluctantly.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
“Knock, knock.”
Very polite.
Qiao Nian gathered up his bathrobe, his jawline sharp: "Come in."
Ye Wangchuan walked in with a glass of milk. When he saw the girl coming back, he still had his phone in his hand. He put the milk on the table and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you on the phone?"
Qiao Nian pulled out a chair and sat down. Resignedly, he picked up the glass of milk and took a sip. He looked a little lazy and casual. "Ah, Aunt Xie called. She came to Beijing."
"Hmm?" Ye Wangchuan thought about it and said, "Should I let Qin Si arrange it..."
Qiao Nian said, "No need, I have already let them live in the courtyard house that Aunt Yuan bought for me."
Ye Wangchuan knew that Yuan Yongqin had bought her a lot of real estate, so he was not surprised. He walked over with his long legs, took a candy out of his pocket and handed it to her in his palm.
"Have a candy."
"… "
Qiao Nian looked at the extra orange candy in front of her and felt much better. She slowly reached out to pick it up, peeled off the candy wrapper and put it into her mouth to chew it. The sweet and sour taste of the orange candy diluted the sweetness of the milk, and finally made her feel a little better.
She then said: "They came to celebrate my birthday."
Ye Wangchuan's eyes deepened slightly, and he didn't take up the topic. Instead, he said, "I'll ask Qin Si to go over and see if Aunt Xie and the others need any help. Even if they don't, I can ask Qin Si to accompany them around and have some fun in Beijing."
