After Becoming Financially Free, They Offered Their Loyalty - Chapter 23

Chapter 23: I Couldn’t Help It, He Just Gave Too Much

TL: YYang

After she spoke, Fang Minhui’s eyes became hazy, and she shyly lowered her head, wishing she could bury it completely in her chest.

She often scrolled through videos and memes, and Chen Ling constantly fed her this kind of information. Of course, she knew the meaning behind Shen Yuan’s words.

‘He just wants it, doesn’t he…’

Across from her, Shen Yuan was a bit baffled. ‘Sister, I just asked if you wanted a hot or iced drink. What’s with that expression?’

After a two-second pause, Shen Yuan finally understood. ‘Holy crap, her mind went there?’

To be honest, faced with Fang Minhui, who had studied dance and had a graceful figure, especially with her current shy demeanor, Shen Yuan also felt a certain inexplicable stirring.

After all, the last time with Zhou Wanting was the last time.

As a vigorous young man, he had accumulated quite a bit of savings that desperately needed to be spent.

‘Fine, fine,’ Shen Yuan sighed inwardly. ‘Let this misunderstanding rage on!’

After dinner, Shen Yuan took Fang Minhui to the second floor of the IFC.

This time, Shen Yuan first picked out a Longines watch for Fang Minhui, a quartz watch from the La Grande Classique series, priced at 12,800.

Then, they went to Chanel and bought a COCO silver bracelet, which cost 20,800.

Finally, for the handbag, he chose LV’s GO-14, priced at 50,500.

In total, he spent 84,100 yuan. The system’s three-fold rebate directly earned him 168,200!

And during this shopping trip, Fang Minhui’s Favorability towards Shen Yuan actually increased again, rising from the previous 76 to the current 81, a full five-point jump!

Seeing the change in the Favorability value above Fang Minhui’s head, Shen Yuan’s eyes lit up with a little excitement. It was as if he wasn’t facing his class beauty, but a money tree that was constantly branching out and bearing fruit.

Because for every three-point increase in Favorability, the system would also provide an additional rebate of the spending amount.

Sure enough, Shen Yuan received another deposit notification on his phone.

[China Construction Bank] Your card ending in 0098 received a deposit of 84,100 yuan on May 12 at 11:39. Your current balance is 1,782,556.

Of course, this 1.78 million included the final payment for the car. But even after deducting the 830,000 yuan final payment, his disposable cash reached 940,000!

At 9:30 PM, in room 808 of the Grand Tycoon Hotel, Fang Minhui sat nervously on the bed, playing with her phone.

Chen Ling had just sent her a WeChat message asking when she was coming back to the dorm, and she didn’t know how to reply.

If she directly said she wasn’t coming back tonight, Chen Ling would definitely ask why. Could she just not tell her?

But if she told her the real reason… that she was with Shen Yuan…

It was so embarrassing…

Fang Minhui bit her pink lip, staring at the screen, feeling conflicted.

On the other hand, she was also a little nervous.

When Shen Yuan had made the request tonight, she could have refused.

They had only had their first date yesterday, so this was progressing way too fast.

But then again, yesterday Shen Yuan had spent over fifty thousand on bags for her, and today he had spent over eighty thousand more: nearly 140,000 in total!

Fang Minhui’s parents only earned that much in a year.

Fang Minhui glanced at the bathroom, where the sound of the shower was splashing. Shen Yuan should be done soon…

‘Forget it!’

Fang Minhui bit her pearly teeth and replied, “Lingling, I’m not coming back tonight. If anyone asks, just say I went to a relative’s house.”

‘I’m sorry, Lingling. He just gave too much…’

At that moment, Shen Yuan had finished his shower and walked out wrapped in a bath towel, his hair still dripping wet.

He stepped onto the bed, circled behind Fang Minhui, and pulled her soft body into his arms, whispering gently in her ear, “Huihui, are you ready?”

Fang Minhui’s body instantly felt like it had been zapped by electricity. Her face flushed red all the way to her earlobes, and she bit her pearly teeth, saying, “I haven’t showered yet…”

“It’s okay. I want the original flavor.”

“…”

Half an hour later, after a session of lessons, Fang Minhui was curled up in Shen Yuan’s arms.

Her skin was flushed, her gaze hazy, still savoring everything that had just happened.

As it turned out, it wasn’t as scary as she had imagined. Except for the first 10 minutes, the rest was just as Chen Ling had said. Comfortable…

Meanwhile, Shen Yuan was breathing unevenly, slowly composing himself. His last poker game had been two months ago. After so long, he really needed some time to get used to it again.

He really didn’t exercise enough usually; otherwise, he wouldn’t be in such a sorry state.

The two of them stared at the ceiling in a daze. About ten minutes later, Fang Minhui suddenly turned on her side, her fair hand slowly moving downwards…

“Shen Yuan… how about we…?”

“Let me rest a little longer.”

“No… I want it now…”

At nine the next morning, Shen Yuan, his body completely drained, stood up from the bed, his legs feeling slightly weak.

The repeated rounds last night had left him feeling a bit powerless.

It wasn’t that he was incapable; he just hadn’t expected Fang Minhui, a first-timer, to be so ferocious.

‘Damn it, she really treated me like an ox! Even an ox needs to work for a while and then rest!’

At that moment, Fang Minhui emerged from the bathroom after a shower, her snow-white skin wrapped in a bath towel. Her face had a faint blush, and she wore a look of complete satisfaction.

“Shen Yuan, I’ll get dressed in a bit. Let’s have breakfast first, and then we can go back to school.”

Fang Minhui walked over with a smile and linked her arm with Shen Yuan’s.

“Alright, alright. You drained several months of my savings last night. It’s time to replenish properly.”

“Is it that exaggerated? Don’t you guys… you know… use your own…”

“…”

After finishing the buffet breakfast at the hotel, Shen Yuan and Fang Minhui returned to school. To avoid any gossip, they got out of the car at the school gate and went back to their respective dorms.

It was already 10:30 when Shen Yuan pushed open the door to dorm 503. As expected, Huang Haibao and Cao Shunjin were sound asleep.

This was the style of contemporary university students. It was as if they would lose a complete weekend if they didn’t sleep until noon.

Those with girlfriends were fine; they could go out on dates or watch movies on the weekend. But for bachelors like Old Cao and Old Huang, they could only curl up in their blankets and play with their needle and thread.

Shen Yuan casually pulled out a chair, preparing to clear his debts.

He knew that the great System Father also offered rebates for paying off debts.

His debts on Huabei, Baitiao, and credit cards totaled 52,000 yuan. Shen Yuan paid them off one by one.

In addition, Shen Yuan had a childhood friend who, upon learning that his family had gone bankrupt, had proactively transferred a hundred thousand yuan to him.

Of course, Shen Yuan hadn’t pocketed this money. It was emergency money for his family, and he had transferred it directly to Old Shen after receiving it.

Shen Yuan found “Life of a Three-Year-Old” in his WeChat contacts and transferred the hundred thousand yuan.

“Life of a Three-Year-Old”’s real name was Li Yuhang. Like the old Shen Yuan, he was also a second-generation rich kid.

He was also the only brother Shen Yuan was still on good terms with. After all, since his family went bankrupt, his former gang of fair-weather friends had all kept their distance.

His father, Old Li, ran a small factory that produced medical equipment. After the events of that year, although many industries in the country were hit hard, the equipment produced by Li Yuhang’s family factory was a hot commodity.

Old Li seized the opportunity, offering five times the salary to get workers back during the New Year. They worked overtime to ramp up production, and it was said that they earned a small fortune in two years.

However, his son, Li Yuhang, was a wild one. He didn’t want to inherit Old Li’s business and insisted on striking out on his own.

His father probably didn’t mind him getting knocked around a bit and provided him with financial support. Li Yuhang opened two hot pot restaurants, a KTV, and a trendy escape room.

The results were predictable: they all lost a ton of money.

But Li Yuhang still hadn’t given up and insisted on opening a bar. A few days ago, he had even sent Shen Yuan a message, asking him to come and give some advice on the bar’s decoration style.

He knew that the old Shen Yuan used to frequent bars and nightclubs and could offer some opinions.

However, Shen Yuan felt that playing was one thing, but business was another. Their perspectives were different, so it was better not to meddle in such matters. Thus, he hadn’t gone.

After transferring the money, Li Yuhang didn’t reply. He had probably been out late again last night. Shen Yuan didn’t bother him and prepared to find some entertainment.

Just then, Fang Minhui sent him a WeChat message, asking him to duo queue with her.

Shen Yuan hadn’t expected this girl to be a League of Legends player. He just didn’t know how good she was. Hopefully, she wouldn’t drag him down.

“Which server?”

“Black Rose.”

“I have an account there. I’m logging on now.”

Shen Yuan’s LOL skills were pretty good. He was Platinum in the first server, mainly playing AD and Top. However, he hadn’t played in a while, so his hands were a bit rusty.

But his account on Black Rose hadn’t played much ranked, so playing in the lower tiers would be fine.

“Old Huang, let me borrow your Alienware for a bit.”

Shen Yuan shouted. He didn’t have a computer, so he had to borrow Huang Haibao’s Alienware.

“Go ahead.”

Old Huang rolled over in bed, muttering a complaint.

“Fuck, you got an attitude now!”

Shen Yuan cursed under his breath and then started the computer.
