After Becoming Financially Free, They Offered Their Loyalty - Chapter 88

Chapter 88: Sorry, Nana

TL: YYang

With Shen Yuan’s help in washing and cutting the vegetables, a meal of four dishes and one soup was quickly served. Today, Li Xiao had made sweet potato leaves, braised pork ribs, stir-fried pork, as well as kelp soup and beer duck.

The beer duck had just come out of the pot, its skin still sizzling with hot oil. The kelp soup had been stewed for a long time in advance and was now fragrant and overflowing.

Shen Yuan subconsciously swallowed, thinking that Teacher Li Xiao’s cooking skills were indeed excellent.

During the meal, Li Meng asked while picking up some food, “Shen Yuan, how many girlfriends have you had?”

Shen Yuan was chewing on a piece of pork rib. Hearing this parental-style inquiry, he almost spat it out. After thinking carefully, he said, “Two, why?”

Shen Yuan had indeed only publicly acknowledged two girlfriends: one from high school and his senior, Zhou Wanting. The others had not been officially announced.

Li Meng let out a soft “oh.” “Then your relationship experience is quite rich.”

Li Meng couldn’t help but worry. She knew her sister had never been in a relationship before. A novice with no dating experience could easily be taken advantage of, especially since Shen Yuan was still young. Boys of this age probably weren’t that mature.

Li Xiao’s cheeks turned a little red. This girl was really something, asking such questions.

And Shen Yuan felt a bit helpless after hearing it. Two was considered rich?

If Li Meng knew he was dating several at the same time, she would probably cough up blood from anger.

“Do you have any siblings?” Li Meng asked again.

“I have a younger sister.”

“How old is your sister?”

“She’s a senior in high school this year, eighteen.”

“Oh, okay.”

Li Meng found that there didn’t seem to be much else to ask. It was nothing more than family situation and relationship history. As for educational background and financial resources, she had already heard about those from her sister.

He was rich, but the key was that men turn bad when they get rich. She just didn’t know if Shen Yuan could withstand external temptations.

Li Xiao couldn’t help but kick Li Meng under the table with her right foot, signaling her to stop asking these random questions.

Li Meng glanced at her sister and puffed out her cheeks, a little dissatisfied. Seriously, I’m trying to get information for you, and you’re blaming me.

Shen Yuan, on the other hand, thought that since Li Meng was asking about his situation, Teacher Li Xiao must have mentioned him to her. It seemed she was slowly starting to accept him in her heart.

The progress was very gratifying!

Thinking this, Shen Yuan gently stroked Li Xiao’s instep.

Li Xiao quickly pulled her foot back and secretly glared at Shen Yuan.

However, Shen Yuan had no intention of letting her go. He quietly lifted his foot and rubbed it back and forth on her calf.

He had taken off his shoes when he entered the house, and Li Xiao was wearing shorts, so her entire calf was exposed. Being teased like this by Shen Yuan, how could she stand it?

Li Xiao had indeed underestimated Shen Yuan’s audacity. It was one thing for him to do it repeatedly, but this time he was actually pulling this stunt right under her sister’s nose.

Li Xiao was unbearably itchy. She pulled both her feet back and even moved her stool back a bit, creating more distance between herself and Shen Yuan.

Li Meng looked at Li Xiao suspiciously. She felt that her sister was very strange today. She was talking less, and her whole state was not quite right.

How strange. Normally, when a girl is with a guy she likes, shouldn’t she be very happy?

How could Li Meng have known that right here in their new home, under her very nose, her sister had already been bullied three times by this beast in human clothing, Shen Yuan.

After dinner, Li Xiao also cut some cantaloupe and watermelon. After Shen Yuan finished a few pieces, he didn’t stay much longer. He said goodbye to the sisters and left, as he had to rush to the next battlefield.

At this moment, Li Meng came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes and looked at Li Xiao, who was spacing out on the sofa.

“Sis, from the looks of it, his conditions are pretty good. I just don’t know about his character. You’ve been his counselor for three years, so you should know him pretty well.”

Li Xiao was absent-minded and didn’t know how to explain. Character was something that depended on how you analyzed it.

From a personality perspective, he was indeed positive, optimistic, willing to give, and quite caring towards her. Another very important point was that he was more mature and independent than many other boys and could handle himself well in social situations.

However, he was also too bold, repeatedly bullying her. He had thoroughly explored her top and mid lanes.

They hadn’t even confirmed their relationship, yet he dared to do this.

From this perspective, Li Xiao couldn’t say his character was good.

Thinking of that roguish, wicked face, Li Xiao sometimes wished she could take a bite out of it.

After leaving Dongsheng Community, Shen Yuan deliberately lingered for a while by the outdoor unit of an air conditioner at the entrance of a small restaurant.

The wind from this kind of unit was strong, and the smell was a bit pungent, which was just right to cover up the scent from Li Xiao’s home.

Although Nana definitely wouldn’t say anything, if she smelled another woman’s scent when they were together, it would inevitably be uncomfortable.

When he arrived at the “MS” coffee shop, it was already 7:30. There were hardly any customers, and they were preparing to close. Xiao Qiu was mopping the floor. Seeing the boss arrive, she greeted him respectfully.

“Shen Yuan, you’re here. Have you eaten?”

Chen Na walked over and gently took Shen Yuan’s arm with both hands.

For Chen Na, the current Shen Yuan was her entire spiritual support. Just having him here with her made her feel very content.

Nana was dressed similarly to Xiao Qiu today. She wore a slim-fit black T-shirt that outlined her slender waist and curvaceous chest, and a pair of tight blue jeans that made her long, shapely legs look even taller.

Shen Yuan gave her perky buttocks a firm pat. “I’ve eaten.”

Chen Na let out a cry of surprise, not expecting Shen Yuan to be so bold. She subconsciously looked for Xiao Qiu. Fortunately, she was mopping the floor and probably didn’t see.

She then glared at Shen Yuan resentfully, maintained a certain distance from him, and then said, “Then wait for me. We’ll go back after we finish cleaning up.”

“Okay, we’ll get into the details when we get back.”

Chen Na started to continue tidying up the tables and chairs. At this moment, Shen Yuan noticed that her Favorability had changed again compared to last time.

After their last round of poker, Chen Na’s Favorability towards him was 83, and now it was 86.

Now that the Favorability was approaching 90, Shen Yuan was a little expectant. He would work hard tonight and see if he could get the Favorability to 90.

After all, the rewards for reaching 90 Favorability were very generous.

The two quickly finished cleaning up and closed the shop. Xiao Qiu rode her electric scooter back by herself, while Chen Na got into Shen Yuan’s car.

“Shen Yuan, I have something to tell you. Xiao Qiu is very enthusiastic and responsible at work. Her salary is 3,200 a month now. I want to raise it to 3,800. What do you think?”

As the Defender drove on the road, Chen Na asked from the passenger seat.

“Sure, do as you say.”

Shen Yuan had no objections. 500 a month was nothing to him; he could accept raising it to 5,000. Besides, after Xiao Qiu worked for three months, she would trigger an employee bonus and get a car worth 200,000.

In fact, in Star City, the average salary for jobs in milk tea shops and coffee shops was around 3,000, with some even being as low as 2,000-plus a month. 3,800 was already considered very good.

What’s more, business at “MS” was just average, so it wasn’t busy anyway.

“Then can I tell you something too?” Shen Yuan asked Chen Na in return.

“What is it?”

“You still have that gray business suit and black stockings, right?”

“Huh?”

Chen Na realized something was off and looked at Shen Yuan warily. “What are you trying to do?”

Shen Yuan smiled. “You know.”

Chen Na puffed out her cheeks, dissatisfied. “You said it yourself, tonight is a proper compensation, and you even told me to trust your character. Have you forgotten so quickly?”

Shen Yuan said seriously, “Yes, a proper compensation. I’ll compensate you with several hundred million at once.”

“But I don’t want this kind of compensation…”

“…”

Although Chen Na said she didn’t want it, after returning to the apartment and taking a shower, she obediently changed into that gray suit.

Her inner layer was a white U-neck base shirt, revealing a large area of snowy white skin on her long neck and collarbone. Under the tight hip-hugging skirt were taut black stockings, showcasing her straight and slender legs to the fullest.

He had to say, Nana’s legs were indeed highly playable. Shen Yuan couldn’t help but click his tongue softly.

Chen Na turned off the lights, leaving only a single table lamp on, then slowly walked over and knelt beside Shen Yuan. “Shen Yuan, why do men like this?”

She didn’t quite understand. Wouldn’t it be more convenient without clothes?

“It’s okay, you’ll understand eventually.”

“…”

An hour later.

When Shen Yuan returned to the room, ready to hand Chen Na some water, he suddenly noticed that the Favorability above Chen Na’s head had changed again.

[Favorability: 90]

It finally reached 90!

Damn it, this kind of exercise really boosts Favorability!

[Ding!]

[Detected that the Host has produced a second member of the opposite sex with a Favorability of 90 or above. Stage Favorability quest completed. Rewards will now be distributed.]

The system panel suddenly appeared in his mind. Daddy System was starting to give out rewards.

Shen Yuan subconsciously opened the backpack in the bottom right corner of the panel. There were now three more little red dots.

Shen Yuan was a bit excited. The rewards from last time were still fresh in his mind. He quickly tapped into the backpack, where there were three cards.

[Length Increase xxx]

[5 Million Automobile Consumption Fund]

[Exclusive Skill Pack Exchange Card × 1]

Shen Yuan couldn’t help but widen his eyes, directly filtering out the last two cards.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan immediately clicked on this card to use it.

He would let Nana try out this new long spear later!

Sorry, Nana!

You’ll have to bear with it tonight!
