Time flies, a year and a half is fleeting, and time comes to the New Year's Day in 1965.

Barker Road, a brand new villa is surrounded by green plants;

The whole house seems to be isolated from the world. The house is located in lush mountains and forests, surrounded by dense woods.

In fact, this is just an illusion. If you look far away, you will soon find traces of the city’s prosperity;

And wherever you look, there are still other buildings on Barker Road.

Standing on a high platform, Victoria Harbour below the mountain, Kowloon Tsim Sha Tsui immediately imprinted.

The villa has a large swimming pool, under the blue sky, the pool surface is like a mirror, which can be called a fairyland jade pool;

"This is the bedroom for the two of us? This bedroom is 1,000 square feet, right? Why is this bed so big?" Lin Yueru asked three times, looking straight at Wu Guangyao.

Lin Yueru gently pinched Wu Guangyao, and said angrily: "Huh, Huang Yin is infinite!"

"The view here is so good, I can't believe it, we live on the Taiping Mountain!" Lin Yueru sighed.

Wu Guangyao jokingly said: "Maybe we can still live in the Governor's Mansion that day!"

Seeing that Lin Yueru was not hitting herself first, Wu Guangyao was very proud;

Maybe in her heart, there is nothing Wu Guangyao can't do!
