KEEP WAITING FOR YOU - Season 36 Episode 79

Dong Yujie’s room looked very simple and clean.

There weren’t many changes, even when compared to a year ago.

However, it was probably because Dong Yujie didn’t have a sense of belonging to this place.

In addition, if she wanted to spend the time and effort to decorate this room, she needed to be in the mood to do so.

Dong Yujie had experienced so many changes in her life. She didn’t have the time everyday to decorate her room.

And so, Dong Yujie’s room satisfied her basic need, which was sleep.

This time, there was an additional laptop on the small round table in her room.

She had brought this back herself.

Aside from the laptop, there wasn’t any other changes.

In the past few days since Dong Yujie came back, she felt that she had enough and did not purchase anything else.

Jiang Huaizhou had moved out, but Mrs. Dong never touched his room. She had kept the room for him.

“I remember when I first moved in, you gave the biggest master bedroom to my parents and the second biggest room to me. I’m not staying here anymore, so why don’t you move into my room?” Jiang Huaizhou asked.

“I just got used to it,” Dong Yujie said, “Besides, in the more than a year that I was gone, Mom didn’t change anything in your room as well.”

In addition, how could she feel peace if she had stayed in his room?

She wouldn’t feel comfortable.

Jiang Huaizhou observed Dong Yujie’s room for a while.

Honestly, Dong Yujie’s room didn’t look good.

One could easily see all the decorations with just a glance at the entire room. One didn’t need to take a closer look to see more details.

Jiang Huaizhou then said, “When we live together in the future, you aren’t allowed to be perfunctory. You will need to decorate our bedroom nicely.”

Dong Yujie felt her face burning slightly.

In the morning, Jiang Huaizhou discussed about letting their children take over the company in the future and retiring early.

And he had just asked her to decorate their room.

“Why don’t you stop by my place during the weekend?” Jiang Huaizhou said.

Jiang Huaizhou then added, “I have no other intention, it’s just that you have to at least get to know the place. Know where I live and know what my home looks like. You can also register your fingerprint while you are visiting.”

“The house uses a fingerprint lock. You can just scan your fingerprint when you visit again.” Jiang Huaizhou said as he planned.

“Familiarize yourself with the house first, then let’s go to the mall and see if there’s anything we need to buy. In your free time, you can also browse online shops for small decorations and buy what you like.” Jiang Huaizhou spoke with more excitement. The picture he had imagined was appearing more and more beautiful.

Even just discussing about it made him feel happy.

“Actually, I live alone and my house is exactly like your bedroom. It’s simple. There aren’t a lot of things.” Jiang Huaizhou said.

“Your bedroom is considered good. This is the only room that looks simple. Mom has done a good job decorating the other rooms.”

“But I live alone in that house. I am normally busy, and I am usually not home, so I was never in the mood to decorate. That place was just a place to live in. However, I will definitely rush home after work every day because you will be at home. And that’s why we should make our home look cozy and comfortable.” Just the thought of this made Jiang Huaizhou feel happy.

“Wait! How did this conversation turn into me living with you? I thought we were just talking about decorating this place,” Dong Yujie said.

“Are you saying that you’re going to decorate this place to your liking and not actually live here?” Jiang Huaizhou chuckled and replied, “If you’re going to decorate it to your taste, you have to stay here.”

Dong Yujie was speechless.

“Sigh. No. I rented this place,” Jiang Huaizhou said, “Since I rented it, it still belongs to someone else. It’s not my house, and there isn’t a sense of belonging.”

As such, even though Jiang Huaizhou was often busy with work and rarely came home, he had never felt homesick.

As a result, he lacked the motivation to decorate things.

After all, he knew that this wouldn’t be his permanent house.

When the lease end, he would have to move away.

If he bought a lot of things, moving would become troublesome. He might as well keep things simple.

Because Jiang Huaizhou was too excited thinking about the future, he forgot about this important information.

“Why don’t we start looking for houses?” Jiang Huaizhou said.

“You’re still building up your business, and your company is still unstable. Buying a house now would be very stressful,” Dong Yujie reminded him, still remembering the loss of business with the Qu Family.

She didn’t want Jiang Huaizhou to bear even more stress because of this.

“I am just saying that if we do live together in the future.” Dong Yujie said.

“There’s no ‘if’ involved. We must live together, and we will get married,” Jiang Huaizhou stated firmly, indicating his dislike for any conditional statements.

The word ‘if’ represented uncertainty.

Jiang Huaizhou had been through a lot with Dong Yujie, and he didn’t want any more uncertainty in their relationship. He didn’t want any more ‘ifs’ to arise.

Jiang Huaizhou stopped smiling as he said these words to Dong Yujie with such seriousness.

Dong Yujie froze. However, she still nodded and said, “Alright. I won’t say that anymore. There’s no ‘if’ in our future.”

“I will have to buy a house in the future anyway.” Jiang Huaizhou said, “I can’t let you live in a rental when we get married, right?”

“No matter what, we must have a house first.” Even though Jiang Huaizhou’s company was doing well, it was still a bit difficult for him to buy a house in full because he had already bought Mr. Jiang’s and Mrs. Dong’s houses.

“It will be a little difficult to pay in full or buy a bigger house. However, I can buy one that is about the same size as this one, and I can afford the down payment as well. I can easily pay the monthly mortgage, too,” Jiang Huaizhou said.

“Yeah, you do have to purchase a house,” Dong Yujie said, “But it is true that we don’t need to buy a big house. We just need a house big enough for us.”

“No matter what, it has to have three rooms, right? One master bedroom for us. One as the office and the last one for our child. But if we end up having two kids, it would be better for us to have a house with four rooms.” Jiang Huaizhou said as he pondered.

“But a house this zie is big enough for us now. When the company stabilizes in the future, we’ll change to a better place.” Jiang Huaizhou said.

As Dong Yujie listened to Jiang Huaizhou’s plans, she felt very safe.

Jiang Huaizhou has planned their future.

He has included her and their kids in the plan.

“Erm…” Mrs. Dong stood at the door and called out.

“Dinner is ready.” Mrs. Dong said.

The two weren’t doing anything. They were just chatting. And so, the three of them didn’t feel awkward as they came out of the room.

After sitting down, Dong’s mother said, “When I just went to call you guys, I heard you talking about buying a house?”

Dong Yujie then said, “Yes. My bro…”

“You’re still referring to him as your elder brother?” Mrs. Dong interrupted and corrected her. “You shouldn’t call him that anymore.”
