161: White House, fireworks show!

“Wife, after we eat, come with me somewhere!”

IU looked up and asked him suspiciously, “Where are we going, Husband?”

“You'll know soon enough!”

He certainly wouldn't tell her now; if he told her right away, it wouldn't be a surprise!

As for the car, the 4S Shop would deliver it directly to the location soon, transported in a truck with a glass cover, carrying the ferrari rafa he was giving to IU!

Soon, he and IU finished dinner. IU tidied up and put on some makeup. By the time they left, it was already past eight in the evening!

This was precisely the time when Yang City was bustling. He had also changed into a new outfit: jeans and a short-sleeved shirt. It looked similar to his usual wear, but this set was high-quality and expensive, having been chosen by Bailu. Wearing it significantly improved his aura.

After changing clothes, he held IU's hand and headed out!

Stepping out of the building, he instantly shivered!

He hadn't expected the weather to still be so cool, even though it was nearly June. But the chill only lasted for a moment; after all, they hadn't felt anything while inside, but stepping out brought a slight coolness.

Just adapting for a bit would be fine!

IU felt the same way. When the evening breeze hit her body as she exited the building, she unconsciously shivered.

But it was only for that instant!

Once she recovered, he held IU's hand and walked toward the outside of the Residential Area. He didn't plan on driving this time, as IU couldn't drive, and she would likely be driving the ferrari rafa back later. It was better to take a taxi there!

The destination wasn't very far away!

They would arrive shortly!

“Husband, where are we going?”

IU asked curiously!

“You'll know soon. Let's go, the car is here!”

After getting into the car, the driver took them toward their destination. The place they were going was the White Palace in Yang City, located in Nanming District. Song Qingshu had said he had already reserved the White Palace, but Wang Yifan told him to negotiate buying the White Palace outright!

Tonight's fireworks show venue was in the courtyard above the White Palace!

As for the necessary permits, he had already handled them!

After all, Song Qingshu's connections were no joke—he was the CEO of ByteDance. And even if Song Qingshu couldn't handle it, surely the CEO of Alibaba could?

Seriously, although Wang Yifan didn't know many people, all the powerful ones had to listen to him!

This was also the first time he truly felt the convenience of power—it was incredibly satisfying!

He didn't need to do anything; his subordinates had arranged everything. He just needed to show up, which was very comfortable!

Twenty-something minutes later, the driver pulled the car up to the entrance of the White Palace!

This was the main urban area of Yang City, the city center. It was now past 8:40 PM, and the roads, along with the Wetland Park in front of the White Palace, were completely packed with people!

It seemed they knew there would be a fireworks show here and were waiting to watch it!

Wang Yifan paid the driver, thanked him, and then led IU toward the White Palace entrance. At that moment, quite a few people were standing at the entrance of the White Palace, seemingly waiting for someone. Tourists in the Wetland Park were also curiously watching the White Palace entrance!

After all, many people came to travel just to see the White Palace, and today's situation made them curious!

Firstly, there were many more traffic police around, with some even patrolling!

Of course, traffic police usually patrolled, but there weren't as many as today. Today there were many more, and they had heard there was a fireworks show tonight, so they waited here after the rain stopped!

“Hey, did you hear? It looks like there's a fireworks show today!”

“I already knew. You probably don't know the inside story, but apparently, someone is celebrating a birthday today and has reserved the entire White Palace!”

“Oh my god, no way! Reserved the White Palace? How much must that cost?”

“I don't know either. Sigh, we can't understand the joy of the rich. I'm just a worker earning forty-five hundred a month!”

“Who isn't? This is the first time I've seen someone able to set off fireworks in the city center. It's unbelievable!”

“Exactly. But I'm really looking forward to seeing who has the power to set off fireworks on the lawn above the White Palace!”

“I have no idea!”

“Look, look! Are those two the protagonists of today?”

“Where, where? Let me see!”

“Right at the White Palace entrance. That man and woman. The lighting is a bit dim, so I can't see their faces clearly!”

“No way!”

“Why not? Those people at the entrance are inviting them inside! Oh my goodness!”

“I admit, as a woman, I envy the woman who just went in. If I had a man who doted on me like that, I'd definitely bear him a soccer team!”

“Sister, stop daydreaming. Do you think someone that rich would look at you?”

“Exactly. You're ugly and delusional. I really don't know what you're thinking!”

“When you go back to sleep tonight, stack your pillows high. You can have anything you want in your dreams!”

...While the surrounding people were discussing, Wang Yifan had already brought IU to the entrance of the White Palace!

The moment they arrived at the entrance, the people waiting there immediately walked toward them!

Especially upon seeing Wang Yifan, they instantly adopted a serious demeanor, standing perfectly straight. They wanted to leave a good impression on him!

After all, they had already learned Wang Yifan's identity before coming!

He was an existence even more formidable than that person above!

“The Big Boss, you've arrived!”

The person in front of them was Huang Yu, Song Qingshu's secretary. Having followed Song Qingshu, she naturally knew Wang Yifan's identity and recognized him the moment she saw him!

“Mhm, thank you for your hard work!”

“Not at all, The Big Boss. I'll take you and Madam upstairs!”

“Mhm!”

Throughout the process, IU obediently stayed by his side, holding his hand, fingers intertwined, completely silent!

Of course, it wasn't that she didn't want to speak; she just didn't understand Chinese!

Wang Yifan looked at the castle-like White Palace before him. If he and all of them were to move in, it wouldn't be crowded at all. If it was just him and her, they would probably feel lonely due to the sheer space!

After all, this castle-like palace covers an area of 6,000 square meters alone!

It is said that the White Palace has 1,352 rooms. He and his women only total about twenty people, not even reaching the fractional part of the room count!

Especially the back garden on the mountain—it was incredible, featuring not just a lawn but also a lake, a swimming pool, and more!

This White Palace was utterly luxurious, and especially at night, when the lights came on, it was magnificent!

This was one of the reasons why he asked Song Qingshu to purchase this White Palace!

Of course, this was also preparation for the future. After all, eventually, they would all have to know about each other's existence. Preparing a residence in advance could avoid some trouble!
