I am not just a tycoon

Chapter 148 My Secret with ***

Shen Yuan had first wanted to curse her as a spendthrift, but then he thought about how Na Babe was spending the money on him.

Na Babe's generous spending once again refreshed Shen Yuan's understanding.

With the 5 million spending money he gave her, she didn't spend any on herself, but instead spent over 2 million on him, Shen Xuan, and Old Shen first.

With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?

The feeling of this woman spending money on him was really damn refreshing.

It still had to be Na Babe; he hadn't cherished her for nothing!

Chen Na took out the Royal Oak Frosted Gold from the Audemars Piguet shopping bag and handed it to Shen Yuan, "I picked it out for you on my own, I don't know if you'll like it or not."

Shen Yuan picked it up and looked at it; first was the slightly heavy weight, next the strap had a sort of frosted texture, and with just a slight movement, there was also that diamond-like sparkle.

This watch did indeed fit his aesthetic. Although he didn't study luxury watches, he really liked this style.

It didn't look old-fashioned, the color wasn't flashy, the white strap and black dial matched well, and it also suited his preference for simple attire.

"They say watches are a symbol of a man's status, and I looked at several other models, but after all the looking, this one seemed to suit you the best."

Chen Na said earnestly, "According to the salesperson, the Frosted Gold is the world's top gold processing technique. It's very difficult to make, as craftsmen need to hammer it hundreds of thousands of times, with the work taking ten days or even longer, and they can't make any mistakes during the process..."

Shen Yuan listened quietly until she finished, then wrapped his arms around her slim and soft waist, "Mhm, I really like it."

Chen Na lifted her delicate face, "As long as you like it, I was afraid you wouldn't."

Shen Yuan gently stroked her perky nose, "How could I not? My Na Babe's taste is so on point, anything you buy looks good."

Chen Na also wrapped her arms tightly around Shen Yuan, saying contentedly, "Mhm, that's good."

Shen Yuan lowered his head, "I'll reward you with one."

Chen Na's pretty face blushed, shaking her head, "Let's not, Xinyu will see and it won't be good."

"What's there to fear, it's just a kiss."

"Mhm... okay then."

Chen Na lightly tiptoed and moved her rosy lips closer.

"Mhm..."

"Sister, how does the disinfection cabinet..."

Chen Xinyu had wanted to ask why the disinfection cabinet wouldn't open, but upon reaching the bedroom door, she saw her sister and brother-in-law in an intimate scene.

Her face instantly turned red with embarrassment, and she quickly walked away.

In the kitchen, she stared at the washed dishes, somewhat dazed and lost in thoughts.

Although she was happy to see her sister so happy, there was an unexplainable sense of loss in her heart...

Inside the bedroom, Chen Na gently punched Shen Yuan in the chest and complained, "It's all your fault, letting Xinyu see."

Shen Yuan could only laugh wryly, "She's 18 and not that young anymore, she has to get used to it."

Chen Na shook her head, "She's never been in love before, she doesn't understand anything."

"Well, she must have watched TV right? Those idol dramas are full of scenes like this."

Chen Na pondered for a moment, "My sister doesn't like watching TV; she prefers reading novels."

Shen Yuan chuckled, "Novels can be even more daring, Xinyu must understand all that."

"Not at all, Xinyu reads only serious novels."

Shen Yuan thought to himself that there's no way they were serious; he hadn't seen many serious novels on Qidian.

Chen Na paused before adding, "But I feel like Xinyu has been acting strangely lately, I can't quite put my finger on it, and when I ask her, she doesn't tell me."

"Strange? I haven't noticed anything."

Shen Yuan pretended as if nothing was amiss, but he could probably guess why Chen Na felt this way, given that his sister-in-law now had a 60-point Feel-good Index towards him.

"Maybe I'm just overthinking it."

"Yeah, you're probably overthinking it."

The two cuddled close together, and Shen Yuan, feeling the softness of Nana in his arms, couldn't help but ask:

"Why are you and your sister so different? Did your parents feed you different things when you were kids?"

"How could that be."

Chen Na knew exactly what Shen Yuan was referring to, and although it was also a source of imbalance for her, she could only explain, "Maybe it's a genetic thing, inborn."

Then, Chen Na suddenly remembered something and pouted her lips, "You're not allowed to have any crooked thoughts about my sister, you hear?"

In Chen Na's mind, although Xinyu wouldn't act like a "good" girlfriend stealing her man, she couldn't rule out Shen Yuan setting his sights on Xinyu.

Shen Yuan just smiled and kept quiet, thinking to himself that it wasn't him having crooked thoughts about the sister-in-law, but the sister-in-law having crooked thoughts about him.

Chen Na lifted her beautiful eyes, "Why aren't you speaking?"

"Of course not, we are family."

After graduating from high school, Shen Yuan's English vocabulary had regressed tremendously, but this was one of the few phrases he remembered and could pronounce accurately.

"That's good to hear."

Chen Na hugged Shen Yuan contentedly. For a woman with simple needs, just cuddling a bit longer with her man made her very happy.

Thinking about how in nine months they would have the fruit of their love, Chen Na's mood got even sweeter.

The two continued to embrace for 5 minutes before taking a nap together.

Shen Yuan slept for half an hour, and to avoid disturbing Chen Na's nap, he got up quietly.

He had an appointment with Teacher Lih Xiao that afternoon to go to her house and study the human resource management textbook.

Last time, after memorizing the important knowledge points of Business Administration basics, he had acquired all the knowledge of an Xiangjiang EMBA from System which benefitted him greatly.

Now his mind was rich with practical cases, and he also had his own framework for managing a business.

Although theory and practice can't be confused, now with Jingfu Health in hand, it was the perfect opportunity to practice and build a foundation.

Just knowing about Business Administration was not enough for managing a business; Shen Yuan still needed to master more knowledge, such as human resources, investment management, supply chain management...

First, Shen Yuan went to the bedroom outside to wash his face and bring his mind back to a clear state, then headed to the entrance to change his shoes.

While changing his shoes, Chen Xinyu suddenly came out of her room and handed him a small packaged box, murmuring with her head lowered:

"Brother-in-law, I saw your car didn't have a number plate last time, so I bought an extra one while buying one for my dad."

"I just never had the chance to give it to you."

Shen Yuan looked up at her. His sister-in-law was shy and didn't dare to look him in the eyes, her gaze fixed on the ground.

"Thank you."

Shen Yuan reached to receive it, but his palm accidentally brushed against her delicate fingers.

Chen Xinyu's heart skipped a beat, and she hastily retracted her hand. Now she was even more embarrassed, burying her head even lower.

"Brother-in-law... Please don't tell sister..."

At this point, Chen Xinyu's cheeks turned apple red, and she immediately turned her head and ran into the room.

Shen Yuan watched her graceful retreating figure, somewhat puzzled. Was she referring to the racing number plate, or was it the incident in the bathroom last night that she didn't want Nana to know about?

But no matter which it was, Shen Yuan had no intention of telling Nana.

Little sister-in-law, please rest assured, this is our secret between us!

Suddenly feeling a burst of creativity, Shen Yuan considered writing a book on QiDian, with the title "The Secret Between Me and My Sister-in-Law." Just from the title, one could tell the contents would be quite sensational.

...

Dongsheng Neighborhood.

Lih Xiao had no classes in the afternoon and walked from the bedroom to the living room.

Lih Meng also had the day off and was peeling chestnuts while watching Lih Xiao: "Sister, is Shen Yuan coming over later?"

"Can you tell?"

"A fool could see it; otherwise, why would you change into such a bewitching outfit for no reason?"

Lih Meng felt a bit indignant: "And you even put on makeup specifically."

"Er...."

Lih Xiao felt somewhat embarrassed. She had an image to maintain in front of Shen Yuan and wanted to present her best self, so she had carefully dressed up.

Lih Meng no longer tried to dissuade her sister from pursuing true love and looked up at her: "Do you need me to step out for a bit?"

Lih Xiao thought about it: "Stay in the living room. Otherwise, if it's just the two of us... it feels a bit inappropriate."

"Inappropriate?"

Lih Meng snorted with a laugh: "So you want me to stay in the living room and be a third wheel?"

"No, it's just that he is coming over to recite from books, not to do anything else."

After those two incidents at home and the one in the changing room, Lih Xiao already had a psychological shadow. Shen Yuan was too bold, daring to make moves even in public places.

So now, she dared not let down her guard at all.

"Recite from books?"

Lih Meng said dismissively: "If it's a date, just say it's a date. No need for such a high-sounding excuse."

Lih Xiao did not bother to explain. After all, it was good enough for Lih Meng to stay in the living room.

"Ding dong, ding dong."

Hearing the doorbell, Lih Xiao went out to open the door: "You're here."

As Shen Yuan was about to step inside, his gaze fixated on Lih Xiao before him.

Today, Teacher Lih Xiao was still wearing that pair of silver-framed glasses, but with light makeup applied. Her nose bridge was high and elegant, her lips were softly rouged, and she dangled earrings that matched the color of her glasses.

From the front, one could only say she was a dignified and beautiful teacher.

But the key point today was the scenery below her swan-like neck.

Today, Teacher Lih Xiao wore a white silk short-sleeved blouse.

It was still an issue of sizing; the burst in her upper front could not be concealed by the thin fabric, leaving her slender waist exposed.

The design of the outfit was quite clever too. There was a diamond-shaped cut-out at the chest, which sparked lots of imagination.

Dormitory supervisor, if you dress like that, how can I concentrate on reciting?

"Stop staring."

"Come inside first."

Lih Xiao, feeling self-conscious as she was stared at, was also a little embarrassed. This was her first time wearing the outfit, and she hadn't expected that it wouldn't fit properly.

Sometimes she was quite envious of her younger sister, Lih Meng, who always managed to buy clothes of the right size.

Shen Yuan walked inside, changed his shoes, and brought two shopping bags with him.

"You're here."

Lih Meng glanced at Shen Yuan and couldn't help but feel that something was off with the guy who might become her brother-in-law. After all, not only was he four years younger than her sister, but he was also three years younger than her.

Shen Yuan handed over two bags: "These are for you, see if you like them."

"You brought me gifts too?"

"Yeah."

Shen Yuan thought to himself that she'd better get the hint and not hang around the living room in the way.

Lih Meng's eyes lit up. She took the bags and saw that they contained a Dior perfume and an LV wallet.

Though they were small items, they were worth several thousand.

Shen Yuan didn't directly give big-ticket items like handbags, as after all, this was Lih Xiao's sister. He couldn't give more than what he had given to Lih Xiao.

"Thank you so much, Shen Yuan!"

Lih Meng thanked him joyfully.

No woman would refuse luxury items, especially when the perfume and wallet were things she could use often.

With this, Shen Yuan immediately became more pleasing to her eye.

Lih Meng thought that Shen Yuan really knew how to play his cards right, promptly decided not to be in the way in the living room, and claimed she wanted to take a nap before running off to the bedroom with the shopping bags.

Lih Xiao watched her sister's retreating figure and opened her mouth as if to speak, but then she hesitated.

Just like that, she's gone?

A bottle of perfume and a wallet, and you're already sold out?

You're my own sister!

Lih Xiao felt a tightness in her chest and turned to Shen Yuan: "Shen Yuan, did you do that on purpose?" Find more chapters on empire

Shen Yuan spread his hands helplessly: "I just wanted to give your sister a couple of gifts innocently; it always feels a bit awkward coming empty-handed."
