After Becoming Financially Free, They Offered Their Loyalty - Chapter 55

Chapter 55: I Really Just Came Up for a Drink of Water

TL: YYang

The lighting in the private room at Xingyi Kaiseki was a pale yellow, not too bright, casting a hazy feeling, especially when a man and a woman were alone in the room, adding a touch of romance.

When Chen Na heard Shen Yuan’s words, she didn’t act coy. She stood up, moved the cushion next to Shen Yuan, and knelt down again.

Her short skirt today was not paired with black stockings; instead, she generously revealed her smooth, fair thighs. Coupled with her kneeling posture, it was a feast for Shen Yuan’s eyes.

Shen Yuan was not a saint, after all, just an ordinary man with emotions and desires. It was normal to have a reaction in this situation.

Especially now that he had helped Chen Na fulfill her wish of opening a coffee shop.

Although the coffee shop was nominally his, from the salary he offered and the condition of not expecting anything in return, it was no different from being Chen Na’s.

Shen Yuan felt it was time to collect some interest. His right hand naturally rested on Chen Na’s slender waist, feeling its softness.

Chen Na’s delicate body trembled. She hadn’t expected Shen Yuan to be so bold and twisted her waist in resistance. “The waitress will be coming in later…”

“The food here takes a while to be served.”

This kind of futile resistance only served to increase a man’s excitement. Shen Yuan advanced step by step, his hands gently roaming up and down, giving Chen Na no chance to breathe.

Chen Na’s pretty face instantly turned beet red, and her heart began to pound faster. She parted her pearly teeth, trying to stop him, but in the end, she said nothing.

Having been in sales for so many years, Chen Na understood one thing very well: this world was very realistic. There was no love or hate without reason, nor was there giving without reason.

A person’s giving was definitely in hopes of getting something in return.

Of course, ultimate simps were an exception.

Last time, Shen Yuan had bought her a 40,000 yuan bag, and this time, he had spent 300,000 to take over the coffee shop for her.

In addition, Shen Yuan had to pay her a monthly salary of 12,000 yuan.

What was he after?

For the coffee shop to make money?

That was a joke.

Today, Lin Yuchang herself had said that the coffee shop could only break even. It would be good if it could cover its costs in the future, so it was definitely not for making money.

So, all of this was happening naturally now.

Of course, this was the only thing she could give him…

Although she was already 26 this year, she was still a virgin.

She had never considered dating in school, and after graduation, she was busy with work and never had time to find a partner.

Although she had met some high-quality men, Chen Na always felt something was missing. It wasn’t until Xie Haijie launched a long-term pursuit that Chen Na decided to give it a try and be with him.

They had been together for half a month and had only held hands, with no other physical contact.

So this virginity could be said to be her most important possession, and it was the only thing she could give to Shen Yuan.

As Chen Na thought this, she simply closed her eyes and quietly enjoyed it…

Ten minutes later, just as Shen Yuan had conquered two fronts, the waitress knocked on the door, “dong dong.”

Shen Yuan timely stopped the movements of his hands and mouth, while Chen Na, with her cheeks flushed and eyes hazy, frantically buttoned up her collar.

“Come in.” After Chen Na had buttoned up, Shen Yuan responded.

“Mr. Shen, we’re serving your dishes now.”

The waitress, dressed in a kimono, walked in and served their dishes. After a brief introduction of the food, she bowed and left the private room.

Just now, she had briefly glanced at the state of the two customers. The man was calm, while the woman’s cheeks were flushed, and she was deliberately looking down.

Having worked here for so long, the waitress knew very well what had just happened.

However, they were used to such things and were not surprised.

That was why they always knocked on the door before entering a private room to avoid seeing things they shouldn’t.

When people came out to have fun, especially young men and women, it was inevitable that they would seek some excitement.

Especially men who had watched a lot of Japanese films—who wouldn’t like this kind of setting?

It was completely understandable!

“Shen Yuan, next time, let’s not do it in a place like this…” Chen Na said, raising her hazy, beautiful eyes.

When the waitress had walked in just now, she hadn’t dared to look up, afraid that she would discover something.

“I’ll think about it.”

Shen Yuan said he would think about it, but in his heart, he didn’t agree. This was just a private room in a restaurant; he hadn’t even tried the private room in the coffee shop yet.

“What’s there to think about?”

Chen Na was a little puzzled. Her request didn’t seem excessive.

“Alright, let’s eat something first. I’m a bit hungry,” Shen Yuan said, changing the subject.

“What a bastard…”

Hearing Shen Yuan deliberately avoid the topic, Chen Na felt her gums itch. She really wanted to pinch Shen Yuan’s annoying face hard.

But looking at it this way, Shen Yuan was actually quite handsome.

Perhaps his only flaw was that he was a bit of a scumbag.

He clearly had such a beautiful girl by his side, yet he was still out looking for other women.

“Sigh, now that I’m on his pirate ship, there’s no point in saying all this.” Chen Na sighed helplessly in her heart.

Next, after the two had a wonderful meal, they walked out of the private room side by side and went to the front desk to pay.

This meal was still not cheap, totaling 2,652 yuan. Seeing Shen Yuan pay, Chen Na secretly clicked her tongue. Although she had expected it to be expensive here, she hadn’t expected it to be this expensive.

One meal cost almost as much as her commission for selling a car.

She sold at most five or six cars a month.

But then again, perhaps this was the life of the rich. Spending 2,000 yuan for them was probably like spending 20 yuan for her.

As for Shen Yuan, he felt no fluctuation in his heart. In fact, he was a little happy. Although this meal cost 2,652 yuan, he had a three-fold rebate, which meant a net profit of 5,304 yuan.

Whether he took Fang Minhui or Chen Na out, no matter how much he spent, he would profit.

After leaving Xingyi Kaiseki, Chen Na suggested going back to the coffee shop to learn how to make coffee from Xiao Qiu. After all, she would officially start working at the coffee shop tomorrow, and Chen Na wanted to get familiar with it as soon as possible.

However, Shen Yuan shook his head and said seriously, “It’s almost eight o’clock now. It’ll be at least eight-thirty by the time we get there. Xiao Qiu gets off work at nine. If you go now, won’t you be delaying her from getting off work?”

“It’s better to go home and rest early, get enough energy for tomorrow.”

Actually, Shen Yuan was talking nonsense. He had no idea what time the coffee shop closed or what time Xiao Qiu got off work.

But Chen Na felt that what Shen Yuan said made sense, and there was no rush. So she nodded and said, “Alright, then you can take me home.”

Half an hour later, Shen Yuan drove to the apartment building where Chen Na rented. Chen Na got out of the passenger seat and was about to say goodbye to Shen Yuan, but unexpectedly, Shen Yuan also jumped out of the driver’s seat.

“Why are you getting out?” Chen Na asked uneasily, with a faint premonition.

“I’m a little thirsty. I’m going upstairs for a drink of water.” Shen Yuan said without changing his expression.

Hearing Shen Yuan’s old-fashioned excuse, Chen Na didn’t even want to expose him, but this was progressing too quickly. She shook her head gently. “It’s not convenient for me tonight…”

In fact, what had happened in the private room tonight was already her bottom line.

After all, how long had the two of them known each other?

It was better for this kind of thing to proceed step by step.

“Is there another man upstairs?” Shen Yuan looked up at the apartment building.

“How is that possible!”

Chen Na glared at him. Shen Yuan clearly knew she was single; she had told him everything about Xie Haijie.

“Then what’s so inconvenient about going up for a drink of water?” Shen Yuan continued to play dumb.

“…”

Chen Na was speechless, probably not expecting Shen Yuan to be so thick-skinned.

“Then you’ll really just have a drink of water and leave?” Chen Na asked tentatively.

She still had a sliver of trust in Shen Yuan. What if Shen Yuan really was just going up for a drink of water?

“Of course. But if you want me to stay the night, that’s fine too,” Shen Yuan said with a grin.

“In your dreams!”

Chen Na relaxed her guard a little at this point and led Shen Yuan upstairs.

Her apartment was on the sixth floor, but there was an elevator.

This was the first time she had brought a man home, so she was still a little nervous. At the same time, she was glad that she had tidied up at home today, so the room wasn’t too messy.

After taking the elevator to the sixth floor, Chen Na turned the key and opened the door. The room was pitch black. She was about to turn on the light when she was suddenly hugged from behind by Shen Yuan and pushed into a corner against the wall.

“Didn’t you…”

“Didn’t you say you were just having a drink of water?”

Chen Na’s voice was tinged with tears. Only then did she realize she had underestimated Shen Yuan’s audacity. She had let the wolf into the house after all.

“I am having a drink of water…”

Shen Yuan thought to himself, ‘I am having a drink of water, just not the kind of water you’re thinking of.’

Mainly, the atmosphere tonight had been built up to this point, and it hadn’t been satisfying enough in the private room. As a hot-blooded young man, Shen Yuan really couldn’t hold it in any longer.

“Mmm…”

Chen Na’s lips were completely sealed, and she felt like she was suffocating. She wanted to break free, but as a weak woman, how could she resist a man over 1.8 meters tall like Shen Yuan?

“…”

Just then, Xie Haijie drove his Avancier to the apartment building where Chen Na lived.

He had come to apologize today.

Last time, he and that Zeng Xianyong had become acquainted through their fight. The two had sat down for a meal at a tea restaurant and talked things over.

It turned out that Zeng Xianyong was the general manager of Chen Na’s store. After the auto dealer cooperation meeting at the IFC, he had happened to run into Chen Na, and that was why they were sitting together.

There was actually no improper relationship between them at all.

Xie Haijie was filled with regret for his impulsive actions at the time and repeatedly apologized to Zeng Xianyong during the meal.

But he felt even more sorry for Chen Na. After all, he had fought with her direct superior right in front of her. How was she supposed to work at the store after that?

Since that fight, he hadn’t been able to contact Chen Na. His phone number and WeChat had been blocked, and he had no opportunity to apologize.

So today, he had made time, prepared a bouquet of flowers, and went to the Land Rover 4S dealership after work to apologize to Chen Na in person, but unexpectedly, the people at the store told him that Chen Na had already resigned.

Xie Haijie felt even more guilty after learning this, thinking that Chen Na’s resignation was definitely because of him.

So he felt even more strongly that he had to apologize to Chen Na solemnly and sincerely in person.

When Xie Haijie was pursuing Chen Na, he had once sent her some local specialties while on a business trip, so he knew her address.

Xie Haijie didn’t expect Chen Na to change her mind this time, but at least he had to get her forgiveness. After all, what had happened must have hurt her greatly.

If he could get her forgiveness, then at least they could still be friends in the future.

Of course, it was also possible for them to get back together as a couple.

As Xie Haijie mentally rehearsed his apology, he got out of the car. But then he suddenly noticed a Land Rover Defender parked not far from the apartment building.

Seeing this Defender, Xie Haijie’s mind went a little blank.

This…

Could it be Zeng Xianyong’s car?
