CHAPTER 405: CHAPTER 415

Mason Sutton chuckled casually, "It’s all written on your face, like you’ve been wronged."

"Alright then." Mia Ginger pursed her lips and said helplessly, "She originally wanted me to give the answer, but when I was called in the exam room, I didn’t hear it. She thought I did it on purpose and said a few things I didn’t care to hear."

"That’s all?" Mason was caught between laughter and tears.

"Yes." Mia replied sullenly, "I really didn’t hear it."

"It’s not your fault." Mason smiled, "Don’t think about it, friction is inevitable when spending so much time together, it’ll pass."

"Okay." Mia turned her head to look at him, "Are we going to look at the house now?"

"Did you have breakfast?" Mason slowed down the car and asked her.

"I had some cookies." Mia said, "Let’s just go see the house directly."

"The community has a good and safe environment. The house I’m telling you about is a two-bedroom, on the thirteenth floor, ninety square meters, newly decorated, with all utilities set up. You can just move in with your bags. What do you think?"

Mia gave him a smile, "I don’t have much requirement for living conditions, as long as I can sleep, it’s fine."

Mason looked at her, slightly stunned.

He had grown up in a privileged environment, with strict family education and a fixed circle of friends.

Indeed, it was the first time he encountered a girl like Mia.

Clearly beautiful and clean, yet she always carried a kind of resilience akin to weeds.

Seeing more of it, it becomes heart-wrenching.

Mason smiled slightly and turned his head, focusing on driving.

Before long—

The two arrived at Blossom Quarter Community.

Mason didn’t have the key, it was his friend’s sister who took them to see the house.

The woman was around forty, slightly plump, but appeared gentle and dignified, and quite talkative.

She waited for them at the gate and while leading them in, she teased Mason, "Kenneth said you’re quite eager, made me fetch the key from their company early in the morning. Our community has a good, safe environment, it’s also close to Cloud Capital University, convenient for living. You can rest assured with your girlfriend living here."

Mia was startled and quickly smiled, "I’m not..."

"You’re right." Mason interrupted with a smile, "I also thought it was closer."

As his words fell, he gave Mia a meaningful look.

Mia was momentarily puzzled, giving him a questioning glance, her mind racing.

Could it be—

That pretending to be his girlfriend would get a discount?

Mia kept silent.

Seeing her remain quiet, Mason was satisfied, and continued the conversation with the woman with a relaxed demeanor.

Mia followed quietly.

She just felt that Brother Sutton was truly great at conversations.

Clearly unmarried, yet could talk about children’s education for quite a while.

In the elevator, the conversation shifted to house prices over the past two years.

From house prices to the economic development of Cloud Capital in recent years.

Somehow, it ended up on a recent news story about a supposedly immortal tomato.

Apparently—

A lady bought a tomato at the market and kept it at home for over seventy days without it going bad.

They argued about whether it was still edible.

The issue of vegetable preservatives is a significant concern for housewives.

Mia listened the whole way, feeling quite relaxed.

Mason had that knack about him; being with him, it seemed like there would never be an awkward silence.

Making everyone he interacts with feel like they’re soaking in a spring breeze.

As they stepped out of the elevator, the woman leading them glanced at Mia and laughed, "A while ago, I was mentioning to Kenneth about introducing a girl from the neighboring house to you. That girl is also good-looking and became a bank manager right after graduation. Kenneth said you wouldn’t be interested, which puzzled me. Now that I’ve met this young lady, I finally understand why."
