I've Already Snagged a Top-tier Goddess at the Start; I'm Incredibly Wealthy!

53: Conquer Li Na”Li Na, did you learn nothing from all those years of schooling?”

”I see your bookshelves are packed, and you’ve filled countless notebooks with reflections and insights, yet I haven’t seen you put a single bit of it into practice.”

”If you want to be with me, then be sincere and honest. If you want to keep acting aloof, then don’t pull this crap with me!”

Cao Lang spoke bluntly, showing no tenderness for the fair sex.

These words pierced Li Na’s heart like an icicle.

Was it grievance? Was she forced? Was she a gold-digger? Even she couldn’t tell anymore.

That’s right, she could have refused. She could have turned down that ten million and continued to be the proud, independent Li Na.

But why, when Cao Lang told her to leave, did she feel a deeper sense of panic and loss instead of relief?

Was this what they called wanting to have your cake and eat it too?

Li Na was lost.

The string that had been pulled taut for so long finally snapped at this moment.

All her pretenses and all her strength collapsed under Cao Lang’s blunt words and his all-seeing gaze.

Li Na could no longer hold it back. Her delicate shoulders shook violently as her long-suppressed tears burst forth, falling hot onto Cao Lang’s chest.

She didn’t wail; she just wept silently, her body trembling with sobs and her chest heaving, making her look pitiably endearing.

Making two women cry in one day—he really was starting to feel more and more like a scumbag.

A woman like this needed to be broken in; otherwise, she wouldn’t know who was in charge.

Making her change into a stockings set and she was still dragging her feet like a lazy donkey at a millstone—did she really think she was that noble!

”Li Na, don’t play the saint while acting like a whore with me. I never forced you into anything; this is all your own fantasy. When did I ever ask you to repay my kindness? Did I even agree to let you be my mistress?”

Cao Lang deliberately kept a stern face, speaking even more provocative words.

Hearing this, Li Na’s sense of shame was repeatedly ground into the dirt. She cried even harder, but her slender arms hugged him tighter, as if she were afraid of being abandoned by Cao Lang again.

Cao Lang looked at the beauty in his arms, weeping like a pear blossom in the rain, forming a huge contrast with her usual capable and elegant image. The bit of wicked humor in his heart faded slightly. Seeing that the time was ripe, his tone softened, and he reached out to gently pat her beautiful back.

”What are you crying for? What’s there to cry about?” Cao Lang stroked the fair neck of the stunner in his arms; he really liked this spot, like petting the scruff of a kitten’s neck.

”Alright, problems that can be solved with money aren’t problems. Haven’t you always wanted to prove yourself?”

Li Na’s sobbing gradually subsided. She looked up with teary eyes, staring at him in confusion.

Looking at her red, tear-filled eyes, a sense of pity rose in Cao Lang’s heart. He continued, ”How about this: I’ll open a separate company for you. You won’t have to answer to anyone, and you won’t be held back by your family. I’ll let you truly realize your own value. How does that sound?”

Open a company? Let her call the shots?

Like Jiang Mengyuan, becoming a CEO?

Li Na was completely stunned, tears still clinging to her long eyelashes. She thought Cao Lang only saw her as a beautiful and capable subordinate, but she hadn’t expected him to give her such a promise at this moment.

She knew Cao Lang was a man of his word. This wasn’t just financial support; it was a form of trust, a recognition of her abilities!

At this moment, money, transactions, grievances, and confusion all seemed unimportant.

She could no longer distinguish what love was. Was liking someone out of gratitude, dependency, or being moved by a sudden moment of tenderness? The boundaries were blurred and wondrous.

Her feelings for Cao Lang shifted from gratitude to entrustment, and finally to adoration.

Li Na suddenly looked up, and through her tearful eyes, she proactively leaned in. Her soft, warm lips, carrying a hint of salty tears, pressed against Cao Lang’s lips.

So soft, so warm—the taste of a mature woman.

Cao Lang held Li Na’s head, savoring this hard-won, proactively offered kiss.

Even Cao Lang wouldn’t believe it, but this was Li Na’s first kiss. Having never had a Boyfriend, she was fully mature yet had never even experienced a kiss.

At first, she was like a good girl who had just opened the door to a new world, only daring to peek from the entrance. But with Cao Lang’s gentle conquest, she gradually grew bolder and began to respond clumsily.

”Goodness, I’ve really lived all these years for nothing~”

Li Na leaned against Cao Lang’s chest and sighed.

He picked Li Na up, buried his face in her swan-like neck, and gently gave her a hickey.

”Now, you’re mine.”

”Do you hear me?”

Cao Lang’s tone was a bit domineering, yet also a bit playful.

After all, Li Na was older, and holding her in his arms gave Cao Lang the feeling of holding a mature sister.

”Yes, Boss.”

”In the future, you can just call me ’Little Brother’.”

”Is that okay?”

”I said it’s okay, so it’s okay.”

”Little Brother, you’re so domineering...”

The two of them quickly settled into their roles, whispering into each other’s ears.

”Why do you smell so good, Sister? Like a ripe peach.”

”You smell good too... hmm... like a man.”

...The two of them were like a real couple, opening their hearts to each other. The unpleasantness from before had actually brought them closer together.

”Tell me, what kind of company do you want to open?”

”I want to open a film and television company. We could make movies, release records, and do cultural communication.”

”Because I’ve loved reading and longed for the arts since I was a child. I originally wanted to study art, but my family’s situation wasn’t good, so I only got an undergraduate degree.”

Having been a secretary for over a decade, Li Na finally voiced her inner longing and her childhood dream.

”Fine, then we’ll enter the world of art!”

Cao Lang readily agreed to Li Na’s request.

Li Na hugged Cao Lang. This top-tier secretary had already been promoted to the CEO of a film company, but at this moment, her first thought wasn’t joy, but enjoying this hard-won love...
