The True Thousand Gold Possessions of the Myriad Realms Trading System

"Did Mianmian say that?" Su Jingchen was somewhat bewildered but also overjoyed upon hearing this, and murmured, "She actually told you this, could it be that she actually has feelings for me?"

Seeing his affectionate expression, and remembering the lipstick mark on the back of his neck, Lin Jingshu felt utterly disgusted and couldn't help but ask, "You love Ruan Mianmian very much?"

Su Jingchen snapped out of his reverie, thought for a moment, and said, "I love her very much, but in a family like ours, who doesn't live their own life after marriage? If we get married, you can also find someone you like."

Since Lin Jingshu was able to contact Ruan Mianmian, if he denied it, she would definitely tell Mianmian. Mianmian didn't like him much to begin with, and if she knew he said he didn't love her, she definitely wouldn't give him any chance.

Therefore, he had to tell the truth.

Seeing that he still couldn't resist showing his affection for Ruan Mianmian, Lin Jingshu scoffed, "If you really love Ruan Mianmian that much, you should have wiped the lipstick mark off your neck before you left." She then stood up, "Also, while I'm open to each of us having our own affairs, it won't be with a scumbag like you."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left without pausing for even a second.

Su Jingchen chased after him: "This is a matter between our two families. Do you think you and I can decide for ourselves? You know I have someone I love, so I will never control you. I can give you the greatest freedom. Most importantly, we've worked things out together, which is much less troublesome than finding someone else."

Lin Jingshu ignored him and took the elevator away.

Su Jingchen was in a hurry and also wanted to get into the elevator.

Lin Jingshu blocked the elevator entrance: "If you keep chasing me, I'll call you a harasser."

Seeing that people around him were staring, Su Jingchen, not wanting to lose face, had no choice but to stop and say to Lin Jingshu in the elevator, "Jingshu, I hope you go back and calm down, think carefully about what I just said, and don't act impulsively."

Lin Jingshu said coldly, "There's nothing to think about. What I just said is what I was thinking."

Su Jingchen watched the elevator doors close and scratched his hair in frustration.

If it weren't for the arranged marriage between families, he wouldn't have wasted a single word on Lin Jingshu, so why would he be here arguing with her?

However, in the end, it can't be blamed on him. When the old man comes to him later, he'll have something to say.

Having figured this out, Su Jingchen reached up and touched the back of his neck, his handsome face darkening.

Driving home, he opened the door and said to Lin Huairou, who had a fawning smile on her face, "Pack your things and get out—"

That bitch dared to smear lipstick on the back of his neck.

He couldn't even imagine how disgusted Ruan Mianmian would be if Lin Jingshu told her about it.

Lin Huairou's tears immediately fell: "Why? We were fine this morning, weren't we? If I did something wrong, just tell me, and I'll change."

"Stop pretending with me," Su Jingchen said coldly. "You dare say that the lipstick mark on the back of my neck wasn't deliberately left by you? Knowing I'm going out to meet people, you still resort to such petty tricks. Who gave you the courage?"

Lin Huairou immediately apologized, "I'm sorry..." She raised her tearful eyes, wanting to deny it, but seeing Su Jingchen's mocking gaze, she knew he knew she hadn't done it on purpose, so she said pitifully, "I just wanted to test the waters for you, to make the other person jealous, I didn't mean anything by it. I know my place all along, how could I dare to ask for too much?"

Su Jingchen sneered and looked at her without saying a word.

Lin Huairou quickly added, "I just don't understand how anyone could dislike a man as outstanding as you. I'm wondering if she likes you but hasn't realized her own feelings, so she left a lip print to make him jealous and make him face his feelings for you."

The rest was nonsense, but she couldn't understand why anyone would dislike Su Jingchen's words; they were definitely sincere.

To her, Su Jingchen was tall, handsome, rich, and highly educated—a rare and exceptional second-generation rich kid. She truly couldn't understand why anyone would be so blind as to dislike Su Jingchen.

Yes, Su Jingchen is a womanizer, but what man isn't?

Even ordinary men, without money, looks, or ability, cannot stop themselves from being unfaithful and having affairs, or secretly going on dates. Her father is a typical example of such a man.

So she had already decided that true love was all just fleeting and would eventually lead to betrayal. It was better to find a rich second-generation heir who was both talented and handsome, at least she could enjoy the good looks of a man and get money from him.

Lin Huairou's seemingly genuine words touched Su Jingchen.

He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Mianmian really has feelings for him?

He couldn't understand it. He was tall and handsome, attended a prestigious university, came from a wealthy family, and most importantly, he was very gentle with her and loved her very much. How could she not like him?

Perhaps it's true, as Lin Huairou said, that Ruan Mianmian actually liked him, but because she had been bullied by people he had instigated, she suppressed her true feelings and was unwilling to admit that she liked him.

Otherwise, why would she be willing to tell Lin Jingshu that he wanted her to be his mistress and disrupt his engagement with Lin Jingshu?

Wouldn't a normal person just stay silent, let him marry Lin Jingshu smoothly, and never bother her again?

The more Su Jingchen thought about it, the more he realized it made sense. His heart burned with excitement, and he couldn't wait to go find Ruan Mianmian.

However, he should be patient a little longer. His parents are going on a business trip in a couple of days, and he can go see Mianmian then.

Moreover, he hasn't prepared a gift yet. He should take advantage of these two days to quickly pick out an expensive gift that suits Mianmian's heart.

Maybe if he gives her a gift, Mianmian will realize her true feelings and be willing to date him.

Thinking of this, Su Jingchen became extremely excited again, his blood rushing to his head and back.

He looked up and saw Lin Huairou gazing at him tenderly. He then pulled her into his arms, dragged her to the sofa, and began their indescribable act.

Two more days passed, and it was the weekend.

Yu Qingqing came to find Ruan Mianmian to play.

Ruan Mianmian thought about how helpful Fatty Baby was, giving him both gemstones and new technologies—though these were commonplace items for him, they were valuable to Earth. So she decided to give Fatty Baby even more gifts.

It's June, and the lotus flowers are in bloom.

Ruan Mianmian, Yu Qingqing, and Qi Wan went to buy lotus flowers. They planned to give the unopened and half-open ones directly to the chubby baby, and the opened ones together to make a lotus platform for the chubby baby.

The three of them worked for most of the day to create a beautiful lotus platform with layers of lotus flowers.

When the chubby baby was called out and saw the lotus platform, his eyes lit up immediately. He excitedly circled the lotus platform like a little bee, repeatedly saying, "It's so beautiful! It's really so beautiful!"

She looked up again, her eyes filled with longing as she gazed at Ruan Mianmian. "Mianmian, is this for me?"

Ruan Mianmian nodded repeatedly: "That's right, this is for you to sit on. You can fly in the air, so you can definitely sit on this lotus platform, right? You're so cute, you'll be even cuter sitting on the lotus platform."

"It really is for me!" the chubby baby cheered, but still flew around the lotus platform, reluctant to sit inside. "It's so beautiful, it should be displayed, how can I sit on it?"
