Chapter 122: I Want to Have Your Baby Too
TL: YYang
Fifteen minutes later, the rain finally stopped. Shen Yuan looked at the sky where the dark clouds were dispersing. “Let’s go.”
“Uh… can you take your hand off my shoulder first?” Su Xuewei said with a troubled expression.
“Haha, sorry about that. I was just worried you were cold,” Shen Yuan said with a sheepish grin.
After getting back in the car, Shen Yuan, worried she might catch a cold, turned on the heater and raised the temperature, then handed her a tissue. “Wipe yourself off.”
“Mhm.”
Su Xuewei took the tissue and wiped her damp hair. She had wanted to wipe her chest as well, but thinking of the hooligan next to her, she decided against it.
Su Xuewei’s hair was a mess from the rain. She reached up to untie her ponytail, and with the movement of her arm, her magnificent chest created a storm of waves.
The semi-circular orbs, soaked by the rain, were even more alluring. How could a lecher like Shen Yuan resist this?
He fought back the urge to swallow and asked, “Where do you live?”
“I’ll send you the location,” Su Xuewei replied softly, then took out her phone to send the location.
As the car entered the main city area, the sky gradually darkened. While Shen Yuan was focused on driving, Su Xuewei discreetly sized him up a few times. His facial features were sharp and defined, and his eyes held a hint of flirtatiousness.
But before she could look for more than a couple of seconds, Shen Yuan suddenly turned his head and said with a mischievous smile, “So, am I handsome?”
Su Xuewei’s pretty face flushed, and she immediately averted her gaze to the front.
Shen Yuan chuckled, thinking to himself that this Su Xuewei was really easy to tease.
Following the navigation, the G-Wagen arrived at its destination 40 minutes later. After getting out of the car, Shen Yuan looked around. Before him was a U-shaped tenement building with red brick exterior walls, looking very old. The corridors were hung with clothes and bedsheets.
Shen Yuan had thought Su Xuewei’s family was not well-off, but he hadn’t expected them to live here, as the building looked like it was on the verge of collapse.
After getting out of the car, Su Xuewei greeted Shen Yuan, “I’m home now. Thank you.”
Shen Yuan smiled. “Can I come up for a bit?”
Su Xuewei was momentarily dazed. She had never brought a boy home before, but this was a request from a major client. Besides, he had just driven her home, so there was no reason to refuse. She said, “You can, but I have to cook for my family, so I might not have time to entertain you.”
“You do your thing. I’ll just sit for a while and then leave.”
Shen Yuan waved his hand dismissively, then suddenly remembered something. “Wait for me a moment. I’m going to buy something.”
Su Xuewei wanted to stop him, but he had already run off. About three minutes later, he returned with two boxes of milk and a large bag of fruit.
Su Xuewei felt a bit embarrassed, but she knew that since Shen Yuan had bought them, he definitely wouldn’t take them back. So she decided to transfer the money back to him later.
Shen Yuan followed Su Xuewei upstairs. At this time, several families in the tenement building were chatting in the corridor. Seeing the silver Mercedes G-Wagen parked in the courtyard, they couldn’t help but cast curious glances.
“What kind of car is that?” someone couldn’t help but ask.
“A Mercedes G-Wagen. It costs at least two or three million.”
“That expensive?”
Everyone clicked their tongues, somewhat surprised.
“Yeah.”
“So, is that guy Xuewei’s boyfriend?”
“I don’t know about that, but if their relationship wasn’t serious, he probably wouldn’t be bringing gifts to her home, right?”
“That girl Xuewei has had it tough. If she really marries into a wealthy family, her family won’t have to live in poverty anymore,” a forty-year-old woman lamented.
However, a woman next to her had a different opinion and sneered, “Who knows? Rich people also care about matching social status. Why would they be interested in a family like this?”
“I think he’s just playing around.”
“You can’t say that. What era is this? Still talking about matching social status. That girl Xuewei is pure, kind, and filial. What’s not to like about her?”
“What’s the use of that? There are plenty of pure and kind girls out there. Why would someone look for a girl whose father is dead and whose mother is crippled? And she has a younger brother to support.”
“You should really watch your mouth!” the forty-year-old woman retorted indignantly.
“What do you know!”
“…”
Shen Yuan followed her to the second floor. The corridor was cluttered with all sorts of junk. Su Xuewei’s home was at the end of the corridor. As soon as she appeared, a sturdy-looking little boy ran over.
“Sister, you’re back!” the little boy, about six or seven years old, exclaimed with a cheerful face.
Su Xuewei squatted down and affectionately patted his little head. “Xiao Jie, are you hungry?”
The boy called Xiao Jie shook his head. “Not hungry. Auntie Zhang just brought over some bread and said you wouldn’t be back so soon.”
“Did you thank Auntie Zhang?” Su Xuewei asked.
Xiao Jie nodded vigorously. “Mhm, I said thank you to her several times.”
“That’s good.”
Shen Yuan asked from behind, “Is this your younger brother?”
“Yes, his name is Su Jingjie.”
Su Xuewei took Xiao Jie’s hand and pointed at Shen Yuan. “This is sister’s friend. Call him big brother.”
Seeing the stranger, Su Jingjie subconsciously took a step back and hid behind Su Xuewei, only daring to peek out with half his head to observe him.
Su Xuewei smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry, my brother is a bit shy.”
“It’s okay.”
How could Shen Yuan mind something like this? It was normal for a child of this age to be shy around strangers. Not only that, but he also made a funny face at Su Jingjie.
Su Jingjie didn’t react much, just stared with his big, dark eyes, not quite understanding what this adult was doing.
Just then, a kind-faced middle-aged woman came out, leaning on a crutch and limping. Su Xuewei quickly supported her. “Mom, why did you come out? You could have just waited for me at home.”
“It’s fine. I came out to get some exercise anyway,” the middle-aged woman replied with a smile, then noticed that her daughter had brought a boy home. “Xuewei, this is?”
“This is my friend, Shen Yuan.”
“Hello, Auntie.”
Shen Yuan greeted her with a smile. Seeing this Mother Su, he finally understood why she needed her daughter to come home and cook even though she was at home.
“You even bought so many things. You shouldn’t have. Please, come in and sit down,” Mother Su said, pointing inside, a little embarrassed.
“Okay.”
Walking inside, Shen Yuan subconsciously looked around. The space was very small, only about thirty or forty square meters. With some tables, chairs, and furniture, it felt a bit crowded with four people inside.
However, the room was clean and tidy.
After inviting Shen Yuan to take a seat, Su Xuewei went to the kitchen to get busy, while Mother Su asked Su Jingjie to pour some tea.
The little guy, though young, was quick and efficient. Since the tea cabinet was high, he had to stand on a stool to reach it.
After making the tea, Su Jingjie glanced at Shen Yuan’s expression, then carefully placed the teacup next to him before immediately running to the kitchen to help his sister cook.
He couldn’t chop vegetables or stir-fry, but he was perfectly capable of washing vegetables and peeling garlic.
Shen Yuan had only ever seen six or seven-year-old children doing housework online. He sighed silently. ‘Indeed, children from poor families mature early.’
Mother Su sized Shen Yuan up a few times, then began to ask about his situation, mostly about his age and family background. Shen Yuan answered politely.
Since Mother Su didn’t know the relationship between Shen Yuan and her daughter, she only chatted briefly and didn’t ask too many intrusive questions.
Su Xuewei was very efficient at cooking. As the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen, she soon brought out four dishes and a soup. Su Jingjie was so hungry he kept swallowing, but since his sister hadn’t come yet and the guest hadn’t started eating, he didn’t dare to make a move.
Looking at Su Jingjie, Shen Yuan suddenly understood why a family like this could raise a girl like Su Xuewei.
After dinner, Shen Yuan sat for a while before getting up to leave. Su Xuewei was washing the dishes. Hearing him, she untied her apron and walked him downstairs.
When they reached the bottom of the stairs, Shen Yuan suddenly said, “Let me borrow your phone.”
Su Xuewei didn’t know what he wanted to do, but she still handed him her phone.
Shen Yuan first operated his own phone, transferring 50,000 yuan, then used Su Xuewei’s phone to accept the payment.
“I’m leaving now. Bye.”
Shen Yuan waved goodbye.
Su Xuewei waved back at him, then silently watched the car drive away.
To her, Shen Yuan was like an uninvited guest who had suddenly burst into her life.
In just one day, she had experienced many firsts: her first walk with a boy, her first physical contact with a boy, and then she had inexplicably brought him home.
Watching the car gradually disappear from sight, Su Xuewei suddenly remembered the things Shen Yuan had bought. She hadn’t paid him back yet, so she quickly picked up her phone to transfer the money.
But when she opened WeChat and saw the transfer record, she was at a loss for what to do.
Shen Yuan drove leisurely, wondering how Su Xuewei would react when she saw the money.
50,000 yuan was nothing to him, but it was enough to improve Su Xuewei’s family’s life. However, Shen Yuan wasn’t sure if a girl like her would accept it, especially since no Favorability rating had appeared above her head so far.
“Whatever, why think so much? If she doesn’t want it, we’ll talk about it then.”
As Shen Yuan thought this, his mind jumped to the things he had to do this week.
First, the preliminary list for the entrepreneurship base had to be released. Fu Yingzi had already screened the list from Monday tonight. Out of 653 applications, she had narrowed it down to only 12, with 11 females and 1 male.
At the same time, this little secretary was very thorough. She had somehow found candid photos of these 11 girls and sent them over as well.
He had to admit, this little secretary was indeed very suitable for the role of a eunuch selecting concubines.
After this job was done, Shen Yuan even wanted to give him a raise.
Besides the entrepreneurship base, Friday was Old Shen’s birthday. Tomorrow, he had to go and prepare a luxury car gift for him. With the 30 million Filial Piety Fund, Old Shen and Ms. Li were in for a treat.
After clarifying what he needed to do, Shen Yuan called Liu Menglu and asked her to come to the executive suite at the Junyue Hotel.
Shen Yuan still adhered to the principle of treating everyone equally. Currently, he had three concubines in his harem, one for each night, no more, no less.
The night before last was with the class beauty, last night was with Nana, and tonight it was Coach Liu’s turn to have a taste of sweetness.
Speaking of which, Liu Menglu had gotten a good deal, because after every morning workout, she would receive a few extra small goals.
Because he had called rather late, when Shen Yuan arrived at the executive suite, Liu Menglu hadn’t arrived yet. But just as he came out of the shower, Liu Menglu had already appeared in the suite.
She had already dimmed the lights, making the whole room look hazy and ambiguous.
And she herself had already changed into her battle gear.
This battle gear consisted of three parts: a halter top, a pair of white gloves, and a short skirt. Her arms, shoulders, and waist revealed large areas of fair skin, and the white color made Liu Menglu’s already impressive headlights look even bigger.
Liu Menglu walked over to Shen Yuan with a seductive, swaying gait. Her fingers gently slid down from his face to his waist, and then she leaned in close to his ear and whispered, “Hubby, I want to have your baby too.”
