Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1333: Chapter 1333: The Real and Fake Heiress (39)

The environment at the Yan Family’s place wasn’t quite what Shu Juan expected. Inside, it was very clean, and the furniture was brand new.

That’s how Shu Juan met the parents and was forced to stay for a meal.

When Father Yan came home and heard about it, he had a bit of a complicated expression.

Father Yan asked Shu Juan about his age, what he did, how long he had known Chuzheng, and so on... but didn’t dare to ask too deeply.

That daughter of theirs...

Both of them felt a bit apprehensive.

Shu Juan sat for a while and, not wanting to overstay, got up to leave.

After he left, Mother Yan hesitated and said, ”That kid is in a early romance...”

”That kid is 18.” Father Yan puffed on a cigarette, ”It’s not really early romance, but she’s still in school...”

The two of them were filled with concern.

Father Yan asked again, ”How was that kid just now?”

”He looked pretty good,” Mother Yan said, ”but he’s too good-looking, I’m afraid...”

”Our daughter isn’t bad either,” Father Yan was displeased.

”Yes, yes...”

The two of them couldn’t sleep, and when Chuzheng came home that night, they were still in the living room.

”Why aren’t you asleep yet?”

”Nannan, come here, we have something to talk to you about,” Mother Yan beckoned her over.

Chuzheng wanted to go upstairs to see Shu Juan, but when she heard Mother Yan, she had no choice but to close the door.

”What is it?”

Mother Yan glanced at Father Yan, seeing that he had no intention of speaking, she had to carefully choose her words.

”Your boyfriend... you’re still in school, isn’t being in a relationship at this time going to affect your grades?”

Chuzheng’s tone was as cold as ever, ”No.”

”Uh...”

Mother Yan suddenly didn’t know what to say.

She didn’t have much education herself and couldn’t articulate any grand principles.

People living here, whether due to bad grades or because of money, many girls married young.

But Mother Yan felt that it’s better to study a bit more.

In the future, no matter what, she wouldn’t have to stay here...

”I know what I’m doing,” Chuzheng said, ”You don’t need to worry, go to bed early.”

Chuzheng picked up her things and went to her room.

Father Yan and Mother Yan sighed heavily in the living room for a while before returning to their room.

Chuzheng waited until there was no sound outside, sneaked out of her room, and went straight upstairs.

She knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened. The room lights were off, and Shu Juan, in black clothes, almost blended into the darkness.

He had just opened the door when his wrist was grabbed and he was pulled inside.

Bam!

The door shut, and a familiar scent enveloped him.

-

Shu Juan’s back was pressed against the door, his hands on Chuzheng’s waist. Just one kiss had almost taken his breath away, and now he was catching his breath against Chuzheng’s shoulder.

Shu Juan caught his breath, ”Little one, sneaking up here in the middle of the night, aren’t you afraid I’ll do something to you?”

”What do you want to do?” Chuzheng asked seriously.

”What do you think?”

”I don’t mind.” The Good Person Card’s requests could all be met.

I’m a good person!

Shu Juan: ”...”

He had lost.

She’s different from other girls.

How could she possibly understand modesty?

Shu Juan stopped joking around with Chuzheng and said seriously, ”I ask you, where did you go?”

Chuzheng was vague, ”Attending to something.”

”What kind of thing?”

Chuzheng stuck to the same answer, ”Personal matter.”

”You can’t tell me... um...”

-

Shu Juan spent half an hour taking a cold shower, and when he came out, Chuzheng was already asleep on his bed.

Shu Juan sighed, went to grab a pillow, and prepared to sleep on the sofa outside.

”Shu Juan.”

Chuzheng raised her head, her dark and clear eyes looking at him.

”Did I wake you up?” Shu Juan kept his voice low, ”Are you going back? I’ll send...”

Chuzheng turned over and patted the space beside her, inviting him naturally, ”Come up.”

Shu Juan: ”...”

”Little one, you want to cost me my life?”

”What use would I have for your life?” Chuzheng urged him, ”Hurry up, I won’t do anything to you.”

”...”

Shu Juan’s lips twitched.

You’re not doing anything to me, I’m afraid of what I might do to you!

Shu Juan held his ground, ”I’ll still sleep outside. You rest early.”

Sleeping with her, Shu Juan felt he might lose half his life.

He didn’t want to die.

Chuzheng lost patience. She was so sleepy that she directly got up, roughly pulled Shu Juan up, hugged him, and closed her eyes.

It’s just sleeping, what’s with all the fuss!

Shu Juan: ”...”

The weather was already hot, and now Shu Juan felt he was holding a ball of fire.

Shu Juan swallowed hard and recited a calming mantra in his heart.

But as soon as Chuzheng moved slightly, the string Shu Juan was trying to pull tight would snap with a ’pop.’

He struggled to pull it back together.

And then it would start all over again.

I’m going to die!!

-

When Chuzheng got up the next day, Shu Juan was no longer in the room. She slowly went out and saw Shu Juan sitting in the living room watching TV.

The curtains in the living room were still tightly drawn, not letting any light through. At this time, the living room was only illuminated by the light from the TV.

The flickering light enveloped the boy on the sofa.

Chuzheng always thought the TV was just for show, considering how long she’d been here and never seen it turned on.

The TV was muted, showing only subtitles.

The news was broadcasting about some gang that had been taken down.

Shu Juan was engrossed, and suddenly, he felt a weight around his neck. Chuzheng hugged him from behind, resting her chin on his shoulder, her voice slowly sounding, ”Did you make breakfast?”

”Did you do this?”

Chuzheng tried to change the topic, ”I’m hungry.”

”Chuzheng, don’t change the subject.” Shu Juan looked serious, ”Did you do this?”

Chuzheng let go of him, propped against the sofa, lowering her gaze to look at him, ”So what if I did, and so what if I didn’t?”

Not giving him a chance to speak, Chuzheng continued: ”It’s already done, what can you do?”

She spoke with a hint of defiance.

Shu Juan: ”...”

What can he do...

Indeed, what can he do.

Those people had all been captured, not one escaped.

His plan hadn’t even been enacted before it was thwarted.

It felt like... like someone else had worked hard for three years to take the college entrance exam, and just before the exam, they suddenly tell you, there’s no need to take the exam, you can go to any school you want.

Shu Juan turned off the TV, ”I’ll make breakfast.”

He got up and went to the kitchen. Chuzheng stood by the sofa, watching his figure move in the kitchen. A few minutes later, she walked over and hugged him from behind.

Shu Juan’s body stiffened for a moment before continuing to make breakfast as usual.

”Little one, holding me like this, it really affects my performance.” His voice was unremarkable.

Chuzheng’s voice was gentle, ”Shu Juan, I can really protect you.”

Shu Juan silently flipped the frying egg in the pan, the aroma spreading through the kitchen.

He suddenly freed one hand to pull Chuzheng to the front and hugged her, ”You make me feel quite useless as a man when you say that.”

Chuzheng: ”It’s enough if you are useful to me.”

The sizzling sound continued from the pan, and Shu Juan exhaled, ”Alright. Little one, hand me a plate.”

As she said, with things already like this, could he even go back and start over?
