After Becoming Financially Free, They Offered Their Loyalty - Chapter 10

Chapter 10: A Chance Encounter

TL: YYang

There was a tea set and tea leaves on the table. To distract himself, Shen Yuan started making tea.

“Shen Yuan, why did you suddenly think of treating me to dinner?”

Fang Minhui asked curiously, her hands resting on her thighs. This was a question she had been wondering about, and she had been thinking about it before she came.

“I’ve always wanted to treat you to dinner, I just never found the chance.”

Shen Yuan’s answer was evasive, but he had no choice. He couldn’t possibly tell her it was for the system’s cash back.

“Oh.”

Fang Minhui replied faintly, clearly not satisfied with this answer.

Shen Yuan saw through Fang Minhui’s thoughts. After a pause, he said unhurriedly, “During military training, you often bought me water and drinks, and you chatted with me on WeChat at night. I’ve actually kept all these things in my heart, I just never found a chance to thank you.”

“You still remember.”

Fang Minhui’s eyes lit up instantly. She had thought that after three years, Shen Yuan would have long forgotten.

“How could I forget that?” Shen Yuan said with certainty.

Fang Minhui’s pretty face flushed slightly. Under the dim yellow light, looking at Shen Yuan’s sharp profile, her heart felt warm, and her body involuntarily leaned a little closer to him.

Shen Yuan was making tea and happened to look back.

Good heavens, who could withstand this! Fang Minhui was already kneeling on the ground, and now in this posture, with her hands on her thighs, her full chest was squeezed to look even more magnificent.

Shen Yuan turned his head away and took another deep breath. Calm, must be calm… Fortunately, dishes began to be served one after another, and both of their attentions were drawn to the delicious food on the table.

Half an hour later, Fang Minhui, half-full, put down her chopsticks and stood up to go to the restroom. Shen Yuan was also almost done eating and was about to go to the front desk to pay.

“Mr. Shen, the total for this time is 2,920 yuan. You are a member of our restaurant, so after the discount, you only need to pay 2,774 yuan.”

The sweet-voiced waitress handed over the receipt with both hands and pointed to the payment code on the table.

Shen Yuan took out his phone and scanned the code to pay as usual.

Fang Minhui came out of the restroom at this moment and happened to see this scene, involuntarily clicking her tongue.

Before coming, she had been mentally prepared that this meal would definitely cost at least 2,000 yuan. But when she saw Shen Yuan scan and pay 2,774 yuan as if it were nothing, she was still a little amazed.

You know, her monthly living expenses were only a little over two thousand yuan, but he had spent that much on one meal.

It’s great to be rich! Seeing this, she felt even more annoyed with Li Zhanpeng, who had taken her to the movies yesterday.

What kind of person was he? It’s not like he didn’t have money, yet he was so stingy! “Let’s go. Remember to take your bag.”

After paying the bill, Shen Yuan saw Fang Minhui and reminded her thoughtfully.

“Okay, sure.” Fang Minhui nodded with satisfaction.

“Ding!”

His phone buzzed with a message notification. Shen Yuan opened it.

[China Construction Bank]Your card ending in 0098 received a deposit of 8,322 yuan at 19:10 on May 11. Current balance is 125,778.

“Whoa!”

Shen Yuan was overjoyed. As expected, taking a girl out for high-end cuisine was the way to go. He had made a net profit of over five thousand from this.

But just as this message popped up, another deposit notification arrived in the next second.

[China Construction Bank]Your card ending in 0098 received a deposit of 5,578 yuan at 19:10 on May 11. Current balance is 131,356.

There was another one!

[Time-limited Quest: Spend money on a suitable female of age with a favorability of over 60, and gain her affection.]

[Quest Reward: All expenses for the female will be returned to the host threefold. If the female’s favorability increases by 3 points during this transaction, the cash back will be doubled.]

The tech panel appeared before his eyes again. Shen Yuan looked at the latter half of the quest reward and thought that it must be because Fang Minhui’s favorability towards him had increased by 3 points, so he received an additional doubled cash back.

Earning 10,000 from one meal, what a great deal!

It seemed that he really had to develop this tool, Fang Minhui, properly.

Fang Minhui had already retrieved her bag from the private room and walked out. Shen Yuan indeed saw that the favorability value above her head had increased. [Favorability towards host: 76]

“Let’s go.”

Fang Minhui said prettily. After that meal, she found Shen Yuan even more pleasing to the eye.

Perhaps, this was the power of money… “Okay, we still have to go to the IFC to pick a gift for my sister.”

Shen Yuan led Fang Minhui out of Xingyi. Since they were out, he might as well maximize the benefits.

It was rush hour now, so there was some traffic. It would probably take a while for a Didi to arrive, so Shen Yuan simply hailed a taxi on the street.

When they arrived at the IFC, Shen Yuan was about to take out his phone to pay, but Fang Minhui opened her bag and said, “I’ll get it. I have cash.”

She had her own little thoughts. Shen Yuan had just treated her to such an expensive Japanese meal, so she felt she should also take the initiative to share some of the other expenses.

The taxi fare wasn’t expensive, only about thirty yuan. The main thing was to leave a good impression on Shen Yuan, and she happened to have some cash with her.

Shen Yuan had no objection. Since Fang Minhui wanted to pay, he might as well let her.

At this moment, the boom gate at the entrance of the nearby underground parking lot seemed to be malfunctioning, causing a long queue. A black Audi A7 couldn’t help but honk its horn to urge the car in front.

“What a fucking traffic jam!”

Hou Jun sat in the driver’s seat, annoyed. He was annoyed partly because of the traffic jam, and partly because this woman next to him always wanted to go shopping at the IFC.

“Just wait. We’re not in a hurry anyway.”

Zhou Wanting sat beside him, her eyes full of anticipation. She felt like it had been a long time since she had bought a bag, and now she could finally go to Prada and LV.

“I have a remote meeting at ten tonight. I don’t have much time to shop with you.”

Hou Jun said faintly.

He was already laying the groundwork for himself.

He had been to the IFC before. The first and second floors were all luxury brand stores. A bag cost at least ten or twenty thousand yuan, which was ridiculously expensive.

He was a marketing director of a foreign company with a good income, earning four to five hundred thousand a year.

But he couldn’t afford to come here all the time.

Besides, he was just planning to play around with Zhou Wanting and didn’t want to waste too much money on this woman.

“It’s a rare occasion. Shop with me a little longer.”

Zhou Wanting turned sideways and wrapped her arm around Hou Jun’s, acting cute.

Although Hou Jun had just bought her an LV bag last month, Prada had recently released a new handbag that she really liked the style and appearance of.

Hou Jun had promised to come with her yesterday, but that bastard Shen Yuan had said those things! Zhou Wanting had spent a long time coaxing Hou Jun last night before he was happy again.

“We’ll see.”

Seeing Zhou Wanting’s act, Hou Jun was helpless. When a woman acted cute, it was truly fatal.

While waiting, Hou Jun inadvertently looked out the window and saw a familiar face, the guy who had messed with his mind yesterday!

“Hey, Wanting, what’s that kid doing here?”

Hou Jun watched as Shen Yuan got out of the back seat of a taxi, a little surprised. But then, he also saw a girl get out of the car with him.

His eyes widened instantly. The girl’s figure and looks were top-notch, especially her full bust, which was very eye-catching.

“Who?”

Zhou Wanting replied casually and subconsciously followed Hou Jun’s gaze.

Shen Yuan?

What was he doing here?

Who was that girl next to him… Zhou Wanting’s mind went blank for a moment. Her ex-boyfriend had just broken up with her yesterday, and today he was already out shopping with a new date? The key was, that girl seemed to have a better figure than her…
