Dreaming With My Dragon Lover - Chapter 155

The three of them wandered from the ground floor to the second floor and viewed the whole house except for Yuan Fen’s room. Amélie was full of praise the whole time.

“I say, Young Master Yuan, you are too fortunate, aren’t you? Your parents are away, and the entire second floor is all yours to enjoy alone, and not only does this house have good feng shui, but the interior decoration and design is exquisite, and to top it all off, it’s a smart house! It’s an utter luxury!”

Touching the comfortable fabric of the sofa in the cinema room, Amélie looks at the huge projection screen and the huge collection of movies with envy.

“For the time being I’m not living in this house alone. Chenchen is staying in my mum’s room.”

“You mean that particularly elegant room we saw earlier?”

When Amélie hears the news, she couldn’t care less about her modesty and hurries back to the first floor again to revisit the ancient and elegant room of Professor Fu. Looking at the large carved bed with beautiful drapes and the ancient incense burner, and then at the precious antiques on the shelves, she can’t help but pull Yuan Ge aside and whisper in his ear, “Are you sure it’s okay to let a stranger stay in Professor Fu’s room? There are so many antiques and treasures in her room, what will you do if he happens to steal one or break one?”

“That is not possible. Chenchen is a decent man, and it’s all thanks to him that this once messy room has been transformed into what it is now.”

Amélie looks at Yuan Ge’s unguarded face and can’t help but sigh, “You’re too big-hearted. You’ve only known this guy for a few days, and you have no idea where he comes from, yet you took him home without any precautions. If you really suffer a loss later, you might not even be able to find him.”

However, Yuan Ge does not share Amélie’s concern, “I am a director. I may not be good at other things, but I am good at analysing human nature and reading people’s minds. I think Rong Qiuchen is a very good person, and we should consider signing him as soon as possible after the New Year.”

“He has gained your trust so quickly? Looks like he has put a lot of thought into you these couple of weeks. If we sign him, are you going to offer your home as his free accommodation?” Amélie points a finger at her temple and continues, “Besides, is he normal up here? Do we really want to sign someone who’s not quite there in the head?”

“His mind may not be quite normal, but it doesn’t stop him from being a good actor.” Yuan Ge replies with great certainty.

Amélie senses Yuan Ge’s protectiveness towards Rong Qiuchen, and knows that it is futile for her to continue acting as the bad guy. She has no choice but to move on from the subject. She turns her attention back to the room in front of her, carefully surveying the place that is now being claimed as Rong Qiuchen’s bedroom.

“Professor Fu really has a great collection of treasures! Just look at this set of Beijing Opera dolls! They are particularly exquisite, and they even have a realistic stage built according to the background of the story. Yuan Ge, these costumes and stage settings are not your handiwork, are they? If they are, you could be a qualified set designer and prop master!” Amélie cannot help but be amazed when she catches sight of these seven dolls on the shelf by the door.

“I have no such skills. The set of dolls was bought by chance. Chenchen reassembled the set according to the scene of Jinyu Troupe winning the Flower of the Opera Stage.”

Amélie looks at one of the seven dolls in the centre, and is amazed at how he looks and poses like Rong Qiuchen himself. It looks like this guy has really put a lot of thought into recreating the opera troupe from Yuan Ge’s dream, and the small opera stage has fit in with the antique furnishings very well, complimenting the classical style of the room. It’s just that–

“Ball jointed dolls usually are very expensive. A set of seven like this would cost a lot of money to buy, wouldn’t it?”

“The shop owner gave us a discount, a hundred thousand yuan all in, including props and costumes.”

“One hundred thousand?! Don’t tell me that this is a gift you bought for Rong Qiuchen, is it?”

“Uh……”

Seeing Yuan Ge’s hesitation, Amélie immediately understands. Her face turns gloomy, unable to lash out at Yuan Ge, she turns to Rong Qiuchen, “You’re good! Getting Yuan Ge to give you such an expensive gift.”

“I’ll be sure to pay back the money to Gege one day!”

Hearing Rong Qiuchen reply with a serious face, and that he addressed “Gege” so natural, Amélie is feeling even more irritated, “Well, you are a homeless person, and still living in someone else’s house, where do you get the confidence or means to easily get a hundred thousand yuan to pay him back?” Then she turns to Yuan Ge and says, “Yuan Ge, buying such an expensive gift for a student, you’re not being nice to him, in fact, you are adding to his psychological burden. Don’t you think this is a bit too much for an ordinary friend? You and I have been working together for so long, but I’ve never seen you going out of your way to do anything for me.”

“I thought I’d wait until you got back before getting any present for you. You have good taste and I’m afraid I won’t be able to get it right. How about we go shopping together tomorrow?”

Amélie is somewhat relieved to hear Yuan Ge extend the invitation, but in her heart she also realises that although only a short Chinese New Year holiday has passed, many things have changed, and even Yuan Ge seems different from before. She can’t be sure what has gone wrong, but a woman’s instinct seems to make her sense that some danger is around the corner.. If she doesn’t make any effort to create opportunities for herself, she’s afraid that she will lose her hold on the man in front of her more and more, move further and further away from his life, and even lose out to a strange little boy like Rong Qiuchen.
