After Becoming Financially Free, They Offered Their Loyalty - Chapter 149

Chapter 149: A Secret Between Us

TL: YYang

Shen Yuan had wanted to scold her for being a spendthrift, but then he remembered that Nabaobao was spending money on him.

Nabaobao’s generous spending once again refreshed Shen Yuan’s understanding.

Of the 5 million in pocket money he had given her, she hadn’t spent it on herself. Instead, she had first spent over 2 million on him, Shen Xuan, and Old Shen.

With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?

The feeling of having this kind of woman spend money on him was truly amazing.

It had to be Nabaobao. It wasn’t for nothing that he doted on her!

Chen Na took out the Royal Oak Frosted Gold from the Audemars Piguet shopping bag and handed it to Shen Yuan. “I picked it out for you myself. I don’t know if you’ll like it.”

Shen Yuan took it and looked at it. First, it was slightly heavy. Second, the watchband had a frosted texture. When he moved it slightly, it emitted a diamond-like luster.

This watch really suited his aesthetic. Although he hadn’t studied famous watches, he really liked this style.

It didn’t look old-fashioned, and the colors weren’t flashy. The white strap and black dial matched well, and it also fit his simple style of dress.

“They say a watch is a symbol of a man’s status. I looked at a few other models, but after looking around, this one suited you the best.”

Chen Na said seriously, “According to the sales associate, frosted gold is the world’s top gold processing technique. It’s also very difficult to make. It requires a craftsman to hammer it hundreds of thousands of times, and the process takes ten days or even longer, without any mistakes…”

Shen Yuan listened quietly until she finished, then put his arm around her slender, soft waist. “Yes, I like it very much.”

Chen Na lifted her pretty face. “As long as you like it. I was afraid you wouldn’t.”

Shen Yuan gently scraped her perky nose. “How could I not? My Nabaobao’s taste is so on point. Whatever you buy looks good.”

Chen Na also wrapped her arms around Shen Yuan and said with satisfaction, “Yes, that’s good.”

Shen Yuan lowered his head. “I’ll reward you with one.”

Chen Na’s pretty face blushed slightly, and she shook her head. “Let’s not. It wouldn’t be good if Xinyu saw.”

“What’s there to be afraid of? It’s just a kiss.”

“Well… okay then.”

Chen Na gently stood on her tiptoes and pressed her rosy lips against his.

“Mmm…”

“Sister, how do I…?”

Chen Xinyu was about to ask how to open the sterilizer cabinet when she walked to the bedroom door and saw the scene of her sister and brother-in-law being intimate.

Her face instantly flushed hot, and she quickly turned and ran away.

Running into the kitchen, she looked at the washed dishes, somewhat lost in thought.

Although she was happy to see her sister so happy, there was always an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart…

In the bedroom, Chen Na gently tapped Shen Yuan’s chest and said coquettishly, “It’s all your fault. You let Xinyu see.”

Shen Yuan couldn’t help but laugh. “She’s 18, not a child anymore. She’ll have to get used to it.”

Chen Na shook her head. “She’s never been in a relationship before. She doesn’t understand anything.”

“But she’s watched TV, right? Scenes like this are all over those idol dramas.”

Chen Na thought for a moment. “My sister doesn’t like watching TV. She likes reading novels.”

Shen Yuan said with a smile, “The content in novels is even more explicit. Xinyu definitely understands.”

“That’s not true. Xinyu only reads proper novels.”

Shen Yuan thought to himself, ‘Proper, my ass. I’ve never seen a proper novel on Qidian.’

Chen Na paused and then said, “But I feel like Xinyu has been acting strange lately. I can’t quite put my finger on what’s strange, and when I ask her, she won’t say.”

“Strange? I haven’t noticed.”

Shen Yuan pretended to be nonchalant. In fact, he could probably guess why Chen Na had this thought. After all, his sister-in-law currently had a Favorability of 60 towards him.

“Maybe I’m just overthinking it.”

“Yes, you’re probably overthinking it.”

The two of them clung to each other like glue. Shen Yuan couldn’t help but ask:

“Why are you and your sister so different? Did your parents feed you different things when you were little?”

“How could that be?”

Chen Na knew what Shen Yuan was talking about, but it was also something she felt was unfair. She could only explain, “It’s probably a genetic thing. It’s natural.”

Then, Chen Na suddenly thought of something and pouted her pink lips. “You’re not allowed to have any improper thoughts about my sister, okay?”

In Chen Na’s perception, although Xinyu wouldn’t snatch food from the tiger’s mouth like her “good” best friend, there was no guarantee that Shen Yuan wouldn’t extend his demonic claws towards Xinyu.

Shen Yuan smiled without saying a word.

Chen Na raised her beautiful eyes. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

“Of course not. We are family.”

After graduating from high school, Shen Yuan’s English vocabulary had regressed significantly. This was one of the few phrases he remembered and could pronounce correctly.

“That’s good.”

Chen Na hugged Shen Yuan contentedly. For a woman with simple demands, just being able to hug her man like this for a little longer made her very happy.

Thinking that they would have the fruit of their love in nine months, Chen Na’s mood became even sweeter.

The two continued to embrace for five minutes, then took a nap together.

Shen Yuan slept for half an hour. In order not to disturb Chen Na’s nap, he got up on tiptoe.

He had an appointment with Teacher Li Xiao in the afternoon to go to her house and memorize the human resources textbook.

Last time, after memorizing the important knowledge points of the basics of business administration, he had received all the knowledge of the Hong Kong EMBA from the system, which had benefited him greatly.

Now, his mind was rich with practical cases, and he had his own framework for managing a business.

Although theory and practice couldn’t be equated, now that he had Jingfu Health in his hands, he could totally use it for practice and to build his foundation.

Managing a business wasn’t enough with just business administration. Shen Yuan also needed to master more knowledge: human resource management, investment management, supply chain management…

Shen Yuan first went to the bedroom outside to wash his face to clear his head, then walked to the entrance to change his shoes.

As he was changing his shoes, Chen Xinyu suddenly walked out of her room and handed him a small package, saying softly with her head down:

“Brother-in-law, I saw last time that your car didn’t have a phone number plate. I bought an extra one when I was buying one for my dad.”

“I never had a chance to give it to you.”

Shen Yuan looked up at her. His sister-in-law was too shy to look him in the eye and kept her gaze on the floor.

“Thanks.”

Shen Yuan reached out to take it, but his palm accidentally brushed against her slender fingers.

Chen Xinyu’s heart jumped, and she quickly pulled her hand back. Now she was even more embarrassed, burying her head even lower.

“…Don’t tell my sister…”

As she said this, Chen Xinyu’s face turned as red as an apple, and she immediately turned and ran into her room.

Shen Yuan watched her graceful back, a little confused. Was she referring to the number plate that he shouldn’t tell Nana about, or…?

But regardless of which it was, Shen Yuan had no intention of telling Nana.

…

Dongsheng Community.

Li Xiao had no classes in the afternoon and walked out from her bedroom into the living room.

Li Meng was also off today. She was peeling chestnuts while looking at Li Xiao. “Sis, is Shen Yuan coming over later?”

“You can tell?”

“Even a fool can tell. Otherwise, who are you changing into such a seductive outfit for, for no reason?”

Li Meng said with some resentment, “And you even put on makeup.”

“Uh…”

Li Xiao was a little embarrassed. She had an idol’s burden when she met Shen Yuan and wanted to present herself in the best possible state, so she had dressed up carefully.

Li Meng no longer planned to dissuade her sister from pursuing true love. She looked up at her. “Do you need me to make myself scarce?”

Li Xiao thought for a moment. “You can stay in the living room. Otherwise, if it’s just the two of us… it feels a bit inappropriate.”

“Inappropriate?”

Li Meng sneered. “So you’re asking me to be a third wheel in the living room, is that it?”

“No, he’s just coming over to memorize texts. He’s not doing anything else.”

Ever since those two times at home, plus that time in the fitting room, Li Xiao had been traumatized. Shen Yuan was too bold, daring to mess around even in public places.

So now she didn’t dare to let her guard down at all.

“Memorize texts?”

Li Meng said dismissively, “A date is a date. Why find such a high-sounding excuse?”

Li Xiao didn’t explain. Anyway, it was fine as long as Li Meng stayed in the living room.

“Ding-dong, ding-dong.”

Hearing the doorbell, Li Xiao went to open the door. “Coming.”

Just as Shen Yuan was about to step into the room, his gaze froze when he saw Li Xiao before him.

Teacher Li Xiao was still wearing her silver-framed glasses today, but she had light makeup on. Her nose was perky, her lips were pink and moist, and she wore dangling earrings of the same color as her glasses.

Looking at her face, one could only say that she was a dignified and beautiful female teacher.

But the key today was the scenery below her swan-like neck.

Today, Teacher Li Xiao was wearing a white silk short-sleeved shirt.

It was still a matter of size. Because her bust was too explosive, it couldn’t cover her slender waist.

And the design of this shirt was very clever. There was a diamond-shaped cutout at the chest, which sparked one’s imagination.

‘Counselor, you’re dressed like this. How can I memorize texts with peace of mind?’

“Stop looking.”

“Come in first.”

Li Xiao was a little shy from being stared at. This was also the first time she had worn this shirt. She hadn’t expected the size to be too small again; it couldn’t contain her at all.

In fact, she was sometimes quite envious of her sister, Li Meng, who could always buy clothes in the right size.

Shen Yuan walked into the house and changed his shoes, holding two shopping bags in his hand.

“You’re here.”

Li Meng looked up at Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan handed her two bags. “These are for you. See if you like them.”

“You brought me a gift?”

“Mmm.”

Shen Yuan thought to himself, ‘You’d better be sensible later and not hang around in the living room getting in the way.’

Li Meng’s eyes lit up slightly. She took the bags and looked inside. It was Dior perfume and an LV wallet.

Although they were small items, they still cost several thousand.

Shen Yuan didn’t directly give her a big item like a handbag. After all, this was Li Xiao’s sister. He couldn’t give her a gift that surpassed the one he gave Li Xiao.

“Thank you, Shen Yuan!”

Li Meng thanked him happily.

No woman would refuse luxury items, especially since perfume and a wallet were things she could use often.

Looking at it this way, Shen Yuan immediately became much more pleasing to the eye.

Li Meng thought that since Shen Yuan was so considerate, she might as well not be a nuisance in the living room. So she said she wanted to take a nap and ran into her bedroom with the shopping bags.

Li Xiao watched her sister’s back, her mouth open as if she wanted to say something but couldn’t.

‘She just left like that?’

‘A bottle of perfume and a wallet bought you over just like that?’

‘You’re my own sister!’

Li Xiao’s chest felt a little tight. She could only look at Shen Yuan. “Shen Yuan, tell me, did you do that on purpose?”

Shen Yuan spread his hands helplessly. “I just wanted to give your sister a couple of gifts. It feels a bit awkward to come empty-handed every time.”
