Chapter 574: On raising a teenager
And so it was that on this day that five cars drove up to a house with a thick hedges around the fence and a brown wood gate at the entrance of the compound itself. There was a trail of short purple flowers which was planted on both sides of the path which led to the gate that swung open automatically when the cars arrived. They had not gone with iron or steel fences like most people in the courts did because she wanted her house to have a vintage feel. Chi Lian was already in love with the house before even making it inside because she and T4 had worked hard on the design. Muyang changed a few things as well and this house was now a combination of both what she and her husband envisioned their future home to be. She was anticipating seeing this house in the full view of the beautiful bright light tomorrow.
Straight tall lamps that were curved at the top lit the drive way as the cars drove up to the three story mansion which was well lit in the inside and the outside as well. At first glance in the night, Chi Lian could make out the mermaid fountain whose design she stole or copied from the Smith house. She was hoping to see more but the children were antsy to get out of the car and she let them out as soon as the cars parked in front of the steps leading up to the magnificent brown colored house.
"Be careful." she called out to Mei-Mei who was skipping towards Black guard and their two huskies that were running towards them.
Even their pets had already moved in it seemed. Odds were, the cows and horses too had moved in already. Her parents backyard was probably empty right now with all the animals gone.
She was helped out of the car by Muyang who held her hand and led her up the six steps which led to the door that was opened by a familiar looking butler. He was the butler from his town house, even the nanny standing next to him was nanny Fang.
All the staff members were lined up orderly to welcome the owners of the house home.
"Welcome home, master and madam." the butler was the first to say.
"Welcome home." the other staff members bowed.
"Thank you butler, nanny Fang." Chi Lian mentioned those she knew and she smiled gently at them while Muyang nodded.
