Chapter 88: Chapter 88: A Fluttering Heart

Mei Na was certain the other party did it on purpose.

The only reason they were frenemies was because Zhang Juhua loved stirring up this kind of baffling drama.

She stared at the message saying Su Yunzhou was driving a Panamera.

Her first reaction: Impossible.

Her second reaction: Absolutely impossible.

Her third reaction: What if it was actually true?

Even if that broke loser Su Yunzhou was just driving a sugar mommy’s Panamera, it still made her a tiny bit envious. Even if he was just borrowing it, he still got to drive it.

And what about her?

Being a demolition nouveau riche seemed like it meant having money, but most of it was controlled by her annoying mother. Besides, when she had asked for that four-leaf clover bracelet earlier, he had played dumb.

She thought, "Hmph! This fairy is mad now! I’m definitely not making the first move tonight!"

Mei Na hesitated for a long time. Driven by an urge she couldn’t quite explain, she opened Su Yunzhou’s chat window. She planned to send a message and recall it immediately to flip the dynamic from passive to active.

But after sending an emoji, her mouth twitched. Seeing the notification that she had been blocked, she completely lost it.

"How dare he block me!!!" she fumed.

No longer caring about who was active or passive, she immediately dialed his number.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is powered off..."

Broke Su had blocked her on every single contact method.

"Damn it! I’m so pissed!" she thought.

The tragic part was that, as angry as she was, she had absolutely no way to vent. She certainly couldn’t tell her friends, "I’m furious because the guy I dumped blocked me."

In this whole incident, there was one other victim: the throw pillow in her arms. It had already been squeezed from a square into an extreme rectangle, and what it would ultimately turn into would probably be revealed very soon.

In the speeding Panamera.

Su Yunzhou wore an unconcealable smile on his face. Right now, his total savings amounted to over seven million.

With the recent economic downturn and poor market conditions, housing prices had dropped significantly. A decent residential community averaged around twenty thousand per square meter. This money was more than enough to buy a place.

He hadn’t ruled out living in a huge house, but villas and garden estates were mostly in the suburbs. It would be much more practical to buy a large single-floor apartment in the city center. The city center had more entertainment options, and going anywhere was convenient.

Buying a house now was purely for transition, and it would also serve as a proper explanation to his parents. Staying in a hotel for too long was boring. The food and accommodation were convenient, but having his "hideout" exposed still left him feeling a bit annoyed.

Su Yunzhou voiced his idea of buying a house, and Liu Yiyi immediately expressed her support.

After all, in her mind, turning cash into real estate was the best option for a demolition nouveau riche like Su Yunzhou. Without connections and capability, going into business was the worst possible choice to attempt.

How many people, after striking it rich, remembered the glorious bosses who used to ride roughshod over them? So, brimming with confidence, they started their own businesses, only to be ruthlessly slapped in the face by reality. They only saw the bosses showing off and flaunting their wealth in front of others, completely blind to the silent sacrifices and utter ruthlessness behind the scenes.

Among successful businessmen, not a single one was a genuinely kindhearted person. That was exactly why the classic saying existed: "A soft heart cannot lead an army, and a righteous mind cannot run a business."

Liu Yiyi suddenly remembered that the Moriyama Group was also involved in real estate. "Since you have that connection, asking President Ye might yield a surprise, right?" she teased.

Su Yunzhou smiled. "What surprise? Have him gift me a unit?"

Liu Yiyi deflected with a question of her own. "Do you think you’re that pretty?"

"You tell me," Su Yunzhou said. He could easily hear the teasing in her words.

"Alright, jokes aside! At the very least, he could give you an insider price. Every little bit saved counts."

"True!"

Su Yunzhou planned to ask tomorrow. Although he would only get richer in the future, saving money now was still a good idea. At the same time, he pondered over which movie would set the right mood when they got back tonight.

Liu Yiyi let out an "Ah!" as she remembered something and began typing a text message, TAP TAP TAP.

A moment later, her phone went BEEP BEEP.

She picked it up to look, and a joyful expression spread across her face. "Yay! I don’t have to go to the office tomorrow morning!"

Seeing Su Yunzhou’s slightly puzzled look, she explained, "I told my boss that I have a lunch appointment with President Ye tomorrow. He understood immediately and told me not to waste time making a trip to the company. I’m so happy! I can sleep in!"

"Will you really be able to sleep in?" Su Yunzhou asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Hmph!" Playing hard to get, Liu Yiyi said, "I never said I was going to your place..."

An hour later.

A certain someone who talked tough ended up with a very soft mouth.

After rinsing her mouth in the bathroom several times, she walked out rubbing her cheeks and said in annoyance, "I just don’t understand why you have such a sick kink."

"A sick kink?" Su Yunzhou chuckled. "It’s actually quite fun, isn’t it?"

"Excuse me?!" Liu Yiyi said, pouting her lips.

"How about a kiss then?"

"Ugh, I take it back!"

The next day, the two of them cuddled affectionately for a while before getting up to get ready.

While Liu Yiyi was taking a shower, Su Yunzhou called for room service and then went into the bathroom to wash up afterward. Nothing happened. After all, he had already entered Wise Mode.

After taking a shower, he felt completely refreshed. Once they had breakfast, Su Yunzhou put on his incredibly stylish Armani suit and styled his hair, looking every bit the wealthy young heir. Liu Yiyi stood to the side, occasionally smacking her lips and praising her own great taste, though it was unclear whether she was talking about the clothes or the man.

A moment later, they went downstairs and headed to Yujing Bay so Liu Yiyi could change clothes.

She was still in yesterday’s outfit, except her beautiful legs beneath the khaki A-line skirt were no longer in black pantyhose. Her bare, slightly fleshy legs were exposed, making her look even more alluring. Su Yunzhou had always believed that legs needed a bit of meat on them; otherwise, they would be painfully bony.

This was Su Yunzhou’s first time visiting Liu Yiyi’s home. Her place wasn’t small—three bedrooms and two living rooms with a sensible layout. The decor was simple yet minimalist, primarily white, giving off a comfortable and relaxing vibe. Aside from clothes, she had very few belongings. To be precise, it was completely in the style of minimalist decluttering.

"Make yourself at home!" After saying that, Liu Yiyi went into the master bedroom to change.

Being in the home of a mature young woman made Su Yunzhou feel inexplicably excited. He did what most men would do: pretended to inspect the interior design while actually looking around for any interesting little items. One of his friends had mentioned last time that when visiting a girl’s house, he had found a big "treasure" hidden in a drawer under the bed—one that could make a fairy scream.

However, Su Yunzhou found absolutely nothing. He didn’t even have the chance to peek into the master bedroom, which had the highest probability of hiding something.

He thought, "What a pity. Lost another chance to tease Yiyi."

Right at that moment, the bedroom door opened.

Warm sunlight spilled through the glass windows onto the yellow wooden floor. The bright, soft golden hue draped over the woman in the white midi dress like an unparalleled veil of light. Just one glance was enough to make his heart skip a beat.

Liu Yiyi’s long hair was loosely pinned up with two slightly curled strands falling by her face. Her skin was porcelain white, her eyes sparkling like water. She wore two bracelets on her wrist—one red and one green—and held a small white handbag.

The dress was elegantly designed, flawlessly highlighting her figure. The perfectly curved tube top made her slender waist look so delicate it seemed unable to withstand a firm grasp.

Seeing the affectionate gaze of her lover, a blush spread across Liu Yiyi’s cheeks. She turned sideways, revealing her beautiful, sharply defined shoulders. Her words were casual, yet they carried a Charm that made his heart race.

"I... I can’t reach... Help me zip up the back..."
