Chapter 49 Young Couple?

After packing up briefly, Li Ruoxi and Wang Ke watched Mrs. Song got into a taxi and left. Then they looked at each other.

"What should we do next? Rent a house or live in a hotel?" Wang Ke asked with a bitter smile.

He had his traveling bag in one hand and Li Ruoxi's suitcase in the other. Now, Li Ruoxi was a poor wretch with no shelter just like him. The immediate task was to find a place to live.

Li Ruoxi hesitated for a moment, and then said with a bitter smile, "Now that I've been kicked out of my family, are you still going with me? Maybe I can't even pay your wages, let alone provide you free food and accommodation."

Wang Ke shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "We'll talk about it later, let's find a place to live first."

Li Ruoxi took out her wallet, looked at it and said helplessly, "I do have some money, but it's saved in a Swiss bank, and I can't get it out for a while. I only have a thousand yuan on me right now, it's not enough to rent a house. We also need to buy daily life supplies and food."

Wang Ke sighed secretly. It was pathetic that an outstanding girl has been driven like this by her family. He was not a saint, but it would be cruel to leave Li Ruoxi in this situation now. Besides, she was in great danger now. Who knew what her family would do to her? Would they send someone to Changji to take her back forcefully? So he must protect her.

"I have some money to cover our rent and living expenses. How about we look for a house to rent today? Let's settle the issue about our living place first." Wang Ke said.

Li Ruoxi thought for a moment and nodded. Looking at Wang Ke's calm face, she had mixed feelings.

She hired him as a bodyguard, promising a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan and free food and accommodation. But until now, she hadn't given Wang Ke any money and needed his aid instead. Such a situation made her so painful and confused.

Wang Ke used to be a clerk in an antique shop and was good at reading people's faces. Looking at Li Ruoxi's expression, he could guess what she was thinking. He said with a smile, "Life won't always be smooth, there will always be setbacks. Don't think about it too much and just get on with your life. Let's go! I have a suggestion. If possible, could we rent a house near the antique market? As you know, I need to go to the antique market every morning to learn about antiques and magic weapons from a senior."

Li Ruoxi didn't have a problem with where to live. So she nodded gently and agreed to Wang Ke's suggestion.

She still needed Wang Ke's protection and support, so she wouldn't refuse him.

Hongrui Real Estate Agency.

It's a good real estate agency near the antique market of Changji.

When Wang Ke and Li Ruoxi entered the Hongrui Real Estate Agency with their bag and luggage, a young female employee in professional clothes greeted them with a professional smile. And when she saw Li Ruoxi, a great beauty, she smiled more.

"Welcome! May I help you?" The young female employee asked with a smile.

Li Ruoxi looked around and said, "We want to rent a house near the antique market."

To rent a house?

Not to buy a house?

The female employee froze for seconds and glanced at Wang Ke quickly. Her smile was not as enthusiastic as before. She nodded gently and said, "Come with me, let me have a check."

Twenty minutes later, Wang Ke and Li Ruoxi paid 200 yuan for the intermediary fee. There was a kind middle-aged woman being ready to rent out her house.

"I have to tell you, my house was just decorated last year. It has two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom. All the furniture is new. It was originally bought as a new house for my son to get married, but my daughter-in-law's family bought a bigger one. So it got empty. It's big enough for you young couple." The middle-aged woman opened the door with the key and said with a smile.

Young couple?

Li Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, and then she blushed greatly.

Wang Ke smiled bitterly. But he glanced at Li Ruoxi and found that she didn't intend to explain. Therefore, neither did he. Wang Ke followed the landlady into the house and saw that the interior decoration and furniture were all-new. He was very satisfied with this house.

"How is it?" Wang Ke turned and asked Li Ruoxi.

Li Ruoxi nodded silently.

"Madam, what's the rent for this house? As you can see, we are just working here, and we can't afford it if the rent is too high." Wang Ke said with a smile.

The landlady looked at the luggage in Wang Ke's hand and said with a smile, "Relax, I know it's not easy for you young people to work outside, so I won't charge you too much. How about two thousand yuan a month. If you want to rent it, you must rent it for at least half a year and give me the rent for half a year at a time."

Two thousand yuan?

Wang Ke nodded secretly. Here was very near to the antique market, which was only a ten-minute walk at most to the east gate of the antique market. It was not a great location and it was not really downtown, two thousand yuan a month was very cheap. The landlady was not greedy!

"OK, we'll rent it. Two thousand yuan a month, so twelve thousand yuan for six months. Please give us the key, she will clean the house and I'll take you to the nearby bank to withdraw some money. Is it OK?" Wang Ke nodded and said with a smile.

The landlady nodded immediately and she was satisfied with Wang Ke's answer.

Wang Ke took the landlady to withdraw the money, signed a contract, and then returned to the house.

Wang Ke took out the key to open the door and got stunned when he walked in.

In the hall, Li Ruoxi was cleaning in an apron with a mop in her hand. There were a trash can and a broom not far from her.

"She looked like a young housewife."

This idea was quickly dismissed by Wang Ke when it first appeared. Li Ruoxi was so smart and she used to be able to run more than one large publicly traded company. It would be a shame if such a wonderful woman became a housewife.

"Let me help you!" Wang Ke walked to her with a smile.

Li Ruoxi didn't refuse. Honestly, she was really not good at housework, and she still hadn't cleaned the living room until now.

"What's your next plan, boss?" Wang Ke asked as he cleaned.

Li Ruoxi stopped cleaning and said, "Don't call me boss anymore, call me Li Ruoxi! I plan to find a job tomorrow. I can run a company, but I don't have a company to run right now. So I want to start over and get a good workout, then make a plan after some time."

Wang Ke nodded with a smile. Li Ruoxi's idea was very good. As the saying went, "If you are not at the grassroots level, you won't know the suffering of the grassroots people." One needed a good workout if he wanted to do big business in the future. He needed to experience the lives of employees rather than just to be a leader who was far away from staffs.

The next morning, Li Ruoxi left the house to find a job. After cultivation, Wang Ke washed his face, brushed teeth, and went out of the room. Then he found the breakfast on the table in the hall, and Li Ruoxi left a note, "The hot milk is in the insulation pot."

Wang Ke looked at the decorations in the hall and the breakfast on the table, he had a ridiculous idea suddenly: if he married Li Ruoxi, he could live with such a peerless beauty and he could also see breakfast on the table every day when he got up. What a happy life!

As soon as the idea appeared, he shook his head with a bitter smile and drove it out of his mind.

So unreal!

It's so unreal!

He didn't want to spend his life in mediocrity. He didn't want great wealth and luxurious life, but he had to achieve something at least!

Wang Ke took a stretch and strode into the kitchen.

Yesterday, Wang Ke fought with the five powerful masters of Li family, which not only made him more proficient in Dragon's Momentum but also greatly improved his power. Now he had reached the third stage at least.

After breakfast, Wang Ke walked to Self House. As soon as he entered, he noticed something strange.

It was weird that why there was suddenly so much spiritual energy? There was several times more spiritual energy in the room than outside! What happened?

Wang Ke was stunned for a moment. He turned around, went out of Self House and walked some steps. Then he immediately realized that he couldn't feel the spiritual energy flowing when he was standing outside of Self House. But when he was inside of the Self House, he could feel the spiritual energy around him.

It was so weird!

What was going on?

He strode into Self House, took a look at Zhao Menfeng in the counter, and then observed the decorations in the hall on the first floor carefully.

Nothing changed!

Changing the position of objects might change the Fengshui of Self House, but now the furnishings in the hall were the same as before. What on earth was going on here?

After thinking for a moment, Wang Ke looked at Zhao Menfeng at the counter again. Wang Ke walked to him and asked, "Mr. Zhao, why is the Self House different today? As soon as I came in, I felt the spiritual energy in the hall is very strong. What did you do?"

Zhao Menfeng was reading a book at the moment, and when he heard Wang Ke's question, his old face was slightly startled, and then his expression changed slightly. He stood up suddenly and asked with astonishment, "Are you saying that the concentration of the spiritual energy in Self House is different today? Can you feel the spiritual energy flowing?"

Wang Ke frowned slightly, looked at Zhao Menfeng with doubts, and said, "I can't feel it before, but I can feel it today. I can feel the spiritual energy in the hall is strong, but I can't feel it when I walk out."

Zhao Menfeng gawked at Wang Ke, his old face was full of shock. He was stunned for half a minute before he dashed out of the counter and turned his head quickly to look at the shelf in the hall, the only place where a magic weapon was placed.
