Everyday Romance After Becoming a Billionaire

Su Ran signed a test drive agreement and handed it to the saleswoman. He got up, turned to Xiao Wanqing, and said, "Alright, enough chatting. Come with me on the test drive and let’s see how this car handles."

’Alright, no more chatting with you guys. I’m off to go with Su Ran for the Martin test drive (smug).’

Even though it was Su Ran spending the money on the car, she still felt a strange sense of pride.

...

At the test drive course, Su Ran was behind the wheel while Xiao Wanqing took selfies in the passenger seat. In the back, the saleswoman in the black stockings sat with her legs pressed together, providing commentary.

"Mr. Su, this car’s maximum output is 533 kW with 900 Nm of torque. It goes from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds. You can try accelerating a bit."

"Oh... Alright, I’ll give it a try."

Su Ran floored it, and the car’s speed immediately surged. With a tearing ROAR, a powerful force pressed them back into their seats as the Aston Martin DBS shot forward like an arrow from a bow.

"Ah—"

"Su Ran, slow down!"

"Okay, Sister Wanqing, I’ll slow down."

"Mmm, that was too fast."

After the test drive, the two girls’ legs were weak. They stumbled out of the car unsteadily and gave Su Ran a thumbs-up. "You’re amazing."

"Not bad. I’ll take this one."

’My first car, an Aston Martin DBS. I’m pretty excited.’

Back at the store, he chose the options: a Burmester sound system, a sapphire blue body, a full LCD display, and so on. Finally, he signed the contract. The total came to 4.87 million, with delivery in one month.

That would be around the time of his university’s military training, which he could live with.

However, after adding registration, purchase tax, insurance, and so on, the total would probably be over 5.5 million.

Xiao Wanqing watched, stunned. She wasn’t looking at the price, but at Su Ran’s reaction to it.

He showed nothing but happiness.

He swiped his card to pay.

’Ding! Congratulations, Host, for your expenditure in the [Travel] category. You have acquired the Mastery of Calligraphy and Painting Skill.’

Su Ran was caught a bit off guard. ’I didn’t get some kind of shameless skill this time?’

’Hmm, the system has finally seen the light. I’ll give it a like.’

Mastery of Calligraphy and Painting?

A decent skill.

’When the time comes, I’ll find a scenic spot and paint a "Portrait of the Four Beauties" featuring these four.’

Name: Su Ran

Wealth: 41.2 million

Skills: Finger Technique Fragrance, Goddess Authority, Tongue Combat Power, Mastery of Calligraphy and Painting

’I guess my life is quietly reaching its peak.’

Su Ran was naturally happy about it.

It was already 1:10 PM. After leaving the Martin Store, Su Ran treated Xiao Wanqing to a quick meal nearby, and then they rushed to the Grand Theater of Culture.

On the way, Xiao Wanqing didn’t say much. She just felt more and more that Su Ran was on a completely different level than the four of them.

For a rich tycoon like him...

They couldn’t match up to him.

It was up to Su Ran to be downwardly compatible.

Fortunately, Su Ran was an approachable billionaire and didn’t put on airs, so they could all get along. He was pleasant to be around.

They got stuck in traffic, and by the time they reached the Grand Theater, it was already 1:55 PM.

The two parked the car, hurriedly presented their tickets, and entered the venue. From seats in the middle rows, Aina and Xie Yiren waved. "Over here."

The two went over and sat down, with Su Ran seated in the middle.

Aina: "Su Ran, promise me you’ll take me with you next time you buy a place at Tangchen Yipin, okay?"

Su Ran: "Don’t listen to Sister Wanqing’s nonsense. She’s just kidding. By the way, what dance is Jinyu performing, exactly?"

The three girls looked at Su Ran with knowing glances but wouldn’t say a word, which made him very anxious.

’It can’t be *that* dance, can it? No, it shouldn’t be.’

But deep down, he still felt a little uneasy.

Xiao Wanqing could see his mind was racing and said, "No~ Su Ran, I think there’s something wrong with you. Are you being a little too possessive?"

Su Ran: "What are you talking about? I just want to know what dance Jinyu is doing. Is it a solo? Or a duet?"

Alright, Su Ran admitted it. This damn possessiveness was too strong. When it came to Jinyu, for whom he had feelings, he didn’t want her to have a male dance partner.

Xiao Wanqing smiled. "Aiya~ You men are all the same. You say one thing but think another. Anyway, Jinyu’s dance... uh... your face will definitely turn green when you see it."

Su Ran said in a panic, "It’s not Zha..."

"Stop! It’s starting."

"..."

At 2:00 PM, the host came on stage and, in a clear and eloquent voice, praised the motherland, then the leaders in the audience, and finally, all the spectators.

CLAP CLAP CLAP.

After a round of enthusiastic applause, the performance officially began.

"Next up, we have student Wang Hao from the Experimental High School, who will bring us a poetry reading of ’I Dedicate Oil to the Motherland’. Please have our second contestant, student Xia Luo, get ready."

In this kind of city-level arts competition, the participants were mainly there to pad their resumes.

Su Ran "patiently" "suffered" through it in the audience.

Every so often, he would glance at his Patek Philippe, which amused the three girls so much they had to hold back their laughter.

Aina started humming playfully, "I won’t tell you, I won’t tell you, gonna make you mad, hmph~"

Su Ran: "Aina, you’re going to have no friends if you keep that up."

The suffering continued until the final, headline act. Su Ran’s spirits finally lifted.

The lights dimmed, the curtain on stage closed, and the audience began to whisper among themselves.

Xiao Wanqing put on a solemn expression. "Su Ran, promise me you won’t get angry in a minute?"

Su Ran didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "Seriously, you three are making me really nervous. My toes are curling."

Xiao Wanqing: "Anyway... *Sigh*... Just see for yourself..."

Su Ran: ???

A moment later, the curtain slowly drew open.

All eyes turned to the stage.

The moment Su Ran had been waiting for had finally arrived. He craned his neck to look at the stage, his brow furrowed, and his face turned green.

Xiao Wanqing: "What do you think of this dance?"

Su Ran said, word by word, "This dance... is very green. I’m completely green now!"

Xiao Wanqing: "So, do you like it?"

Su Ran: "I like her. And I like the dance, too."

Tonight, Liu Jinyu’s headline performance was a classical solo dance—the piece that was on the Spring Festival Gala, [A Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers: Only This Green].

Su Ran had never expected her to perform *Only This Green*. It took courage, as the original had been on the Spring Festival Gala and was considered a modern classic.

Liu Jinyu’s courage to challenge a classic earned her applause from the entire audience.

Before she even began to dance, her stage presence had already won everyone over.

On stage, Liu Jinyu, in a long-sleeved green gown, began to dance gracefully to the music. Behind her, the massive screen displayed the painting *A Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers*.

It was as if she emerged from the painting only to return to it, creating a profound and timeless atmosphere.

She loved to dance, especially classical dance.

She thoroughly enjoyed performing on stage.

The her on stage right now was like a completely different person from her usual self. This, perhaps, was what it meant to be a true dancer.

As the performance reached its climax, Liu Jinyu executed a backbend, recreating the classic move from the Gala—the "Viridian Waist."

Everyone in the audience was deeply impressed, Su Ran included.

The music faded, the sound stopped, the dance ended.

Liu Jinyu took a deep bow, a perfect end to the headline performance, drawing cheers from the audience.

Su Ran’s mind was still replaying Liu Jinyu’s powerful backbend, her tribute to the classic "Viridian Waist."

Liu Jinyu’s waist was very slender and soft. Su Ran had touched it that night at Jiuxi Lake.

Including the tender flesh.

’In my heart, I already consider her my woman.’

The headline act was actually the second to last, so everyone contained their excitement and watched the final performance before the show concluded.

「Outside the venue.」

The three girls and Su Ran waited for a while. Liu Jinyu emerged, having removed her makeup and changed into a denim mini-skirt without any stockings. She waved, trotted over, and naturally wrapped her arms around Su Ran’s, her voice a little coquettish.

"Ranran~ Did my dance look good?"

Su Ran reached out, tenderly brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, and let his hand rest on her fragrant shoulder.

"Honestly, it was amazing. Very grand, and you had incredible stage presence."

"Such a sweet talker."

Liu Jinyu caressed Su Ran’s cheek.

The two of them were very natural together, seeing as they hadn’t officially defined their relationship yet.

The group exchanged a few more compliments about Liu Jinyu’s performance, got in the car, and drove to the residential complex where Xiao Wanqing lived. They parked the car, got into an RV, which was fully stocked with supplies.

The four girls were very excited.

Of the five of them, only Su Ran and Xiao Wanqing knew how to drive.

Xiao Wanqing was responsible for driving them out of Shanghai.

"Let’s go. Time to set off on a spontaneous road trip."
