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 see if this car is any good."

After speaking, Su Ran patted Xiao Wanqing’s shoulder and walked out with her like one of the guys.

[Not chatting anymore, I’m going with Su Ran to test drive the Martin (smug face)]

Even though it was Su Ran who was spending the money on the car, she still felt an inexplicable sense of pride.

A woman’s pride comes from a man’s absolute power and his doting affection.

Su Ran had achieved that.

A man’s pride comes from going out with a perfect, sensible woman by his side who makes others envious.

Xiao Wanqing had achieved that.

「The Aston Martin test drive track.」

Su Ran drove slowly while Xiao Wanqing took selfies in the passenger seat. In the back, the saleswoman in black stockings sat with her legs pressed together, providing commentary.

"Mr. Su, this car has a maximum output of 533 kW, a maximum torque of 900 N·m, and a 0-100 km/h acceleration of just 4.2 seconds. You can try speeding up a bit."

"Oh... alright then, I’ll give it a try."

Su Ran floored the accelerator, and the car’s speed instantly shot up. Accompanied by a ripping ROAR, a powerful G-force pressed them into their seats as the Aston Martin DBS shot forward like an arrow released from a bow.

"Hiss~"

The two women grabbed the handgrips, taking a sudden, sharp breath.

After the test drive, the two women got out, trembling slightly, and gave Su Ran a thumbs-up.

Su Ran really enjoyed this feeling of conquering others.

"Not bad. This is the one."

His first car, an Aston Martin DBS. He was pretty excited.

Back at the dealership, he chose the options: a Burmester sound system, a royal blue body, a full LCD display, and so on. He signed the contract, and the total came out to 4.87 million. The car would be ready for pickup in a month, around the time of his university’s military training.

By then, with registration, purchase tax, insurance, and everything else, the final cost would probably be over 5.5 million.

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

There was nothing but happiness, because he had finally spent on [Transportation] and was looking forward to the reward.

’Ding! Congratulations, Host, for spending on the [Transportation] category. You have received Mastery of Chinese Painting.’

Su Ran was caught a little off guard.

’Hmm, the system has turned over a new leaf. Thumbs up.’

’System: However—’

"Pfft— I knew there’d be a twist."

’Mastery of Chinese Painting is currently limited to: Tang Yin’s [Forbidden Painting] Skill.’

Su Ran: ’Innocent confusion??? Mosaics?’

’To unlock more painting styles, you must first create a painting. Please select the subject(s) ( ). You can make multiple selections. The more people, the more styles and schools of painting you will unlock.’

Su Ran fell silent.

’Dammit, can’t you be serious for once?’

’Liu Jinyu?’

Su Ran wondered if he’d get beaten up by Sister Jinyu.

’Ding! Designated subject Liu Jinyu has been locked in. Please complete the painting as soon as possible to unlock more.’

Pfft—

’Alright, I guess I’ll challenge my own weak spot.’

Name: Su Ran

Wealth: 41.2 million

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

’Life is quietly reaching its peak.’

1:10 PM.

Leaving the Aston Martin dealership, Su Ran treated Xiao Wanqing to some maocai at a nearby place before they hurried to the Grand Theater of Culture.

In the short time before going to see Jinyu’s performance, he had managed to spend over 5 million on a luxury car.

Thinking about it afterward, the implications were rather terrifying.

In her heart, Xiao Wanqing felt more and more that Su Ran was on a completely different level than the four of them.

’When it comes to a tycoon like him...’

’They couldn’t match up to his level.’

’Only Su Ran could be downwardly compatible.’

’Fortunately, Su Ran’s downward compatibility was excellent; he could handle all four of them.’

...

They hit traffic on the way, so it was already 1:55 PM when they arrived at the Grand Theater.

The two of them parked the car, hastily presented their tickets, and entered the venue.

"Over here."

From their seats in the middle rows, Aina and Xie Yiren waved.

The two went over and sat down, with Su Ran placed 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, you still haven’t told me what kind of dance Jinyu is performing."

The three girls looked at Su Ran with meaningful gazes but refused to say anything, which made him very nervous.

’It couldn’t be *that* dance, could it? No way.’

Xiao Wanqing could see Su Ran’s mind was running wild and said, "It’s not that~ Su Ran, I think something’s off with you."

Su Ran: "What are you talking about? I just want to know what dance Jinyu is doing. Is it a solo? A duet? Or the kind where a man lifts a woman up high?"

Xiao Wanqing: "You men are all the same, saying one thing and thinking another. Anyway, Jinyu’s dance... uh... your face will definitely turn green when you see it!"

"It’s not Zha..."

"That’s nothing! This is way more intense than that!"

"???"

"Stop! It’s starting."

"..."

At 2:00 PM, the host took the stage. In a clear and sonorous voice, he praised the motherland, then the leaders in the audience, and finally, all the spectators.

CLAP CLAP CLAP.

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

"Next, with a round of applause, let’s welcome Li Zhenxing from the Experimental Primary School, who will bring us a poetry reading of ’I Dedicate Oil to the Motherland.’ Will our second contestant, Xia Luo, please get ready."

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

He kept checking his Patek Philippe, which made the three girls struggle to hold back their laughter.

Aina playfully hummed a song: "I won’t tell you, I won’t tell you, I’m just gonna make you mad, hmph~"

Su Ran: "Aina, you’re not going to have any friends if you act like this."

The torture continued. Finally, it was time for the final act, and Su Ran’s spirits lifted.

The lights went out, the stage curtain closed, and the audience began to whisper among themselves.

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

Su Ran didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "Seriously, the way you three are acting is making me really nervous. My toes are curled up right now."

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 leaned forward to look at the stage, his brow furrowed, and his face turned green.

Xiao Wanqing: "How does this dance compare to ’Zha’ for you?"

Su Ran said, word by word, "This dance is very green, and I’ve turned completely green!"

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

Su Ran: "I like it very much."

Xiao Wanqing: "Hah. Men. You’re all the same!"

’Of course. Who would want to see the woman they like being lifted up high by someone else?’

「Tonight.」

Liu Jinyu’s final performance was the classical solo dance—*Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers: Only This Cyan-Green*.

It was something Su Ran had never expected.

Performing this dance required courage. After all, it had been performed at the Spring Festival Gala and was considered an absolute classic.

The fact that Liu Jinyu dared to challenge a classic also spoke to her ambition.

Even before she began to dance, her overwhelming stage presence was already victorious.

Onstage.

TWANG~

A long, melodious note from a zither rang out.

Like a figure who had stepped out of a painting, Liu Jinyu, dressed in a long-sleeved green costume, began to dance. Behind her, the massive screen displayed the painting, *Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers*.

Coming from the painting and returning to it, the artistic conception was profound and far-reaching.

She loved to dance, and classical dance was her greatest passion.

She truly enjoyed performing on stage.

The her on stage now was like a completely different person from her usual self. This, perhaps, was a true dancer.

Dancing was the most important career in her life, with love being only a small part of it. Su Ran liked girls like this, who weren’t obsessed with romance and had their own pursuits and dreams.

"Here it comes, here it comes! Su Ran, the classic climax is about to happen!"

Aina said excitedly, while Su Ran watched without blinking.

As the performance reached its climax, Liu Jinyu executed a backbend, then rose again in the classic move from the Gala—the "Cyan-Green Waist."

The move drew a wave of applause and cheers from the entire audience.

"Her waist is a blade that could kill me."

The two contestants named Li Zhenxing and Xia Luo watched, dumbfounded.

The zither faded, the music stopped, and the dance ended.

While the audience was still savoring the moment, Liu Jinyu took a deep bow, a perfect end to the final performance. The entire audience rose to their feet and applauded.

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

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

...

「Outside the venue.」

"Here comes our great dancer."

The three girls and Su Ran waited for a little while. Liu Jinyu, having removed her makeup and changed into a denim miniskirt without any stockings, waved and trotted over. She naturally hugged Su Ran’s arm, pressing against it softly, her voice slightly coquettish.

"Little brother~ Did you like my dance?"

Su Ran reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, his hand coming to rest on her fragrant shoulder.

"It was stunning. I was completely blown away. I have a whole new appreciation for you now."

"My Cyan-Green Waist just now, did you get it?"

"Mhm. ’Your waist is a blade that could kill me.’ I got it."

"Hehehe, so good. Mwah! That’s your reward."

Liu Jinyu stood on her tiptoes and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Xiao Wanqing shot back angrily, "Get a room, you two lovebirds! Get lost."

Aina: "If you’re gonna kiss, kiss him on the lips. What’s the point of a cheek kiss?"

Xie Yiren: "Su Ran, the trip is going to be long. You’d better seize the opportunity and do the deed with Liu Jinyu."

Pfft—

Su Ran didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. ’Now that they’re all so familiar with each other, they dare to say anything.’

"I’ll get you, you old pro!"

An enraged Liu Jinyu charged at Xie Yiren and started playfully hitting her.

Although Su Ran and Liu Jinyu hadn’t officially defined their relationship yet, their interactions were very natural.

"You didn’t bring your Aston Martin for your big sister to ride in?"

"I just placed the order. It won’t be ready until next month. When you come to Jiangning then, I’ll take you for a spin."

"OK! I want the passenger seat!"

The four girls chuckled "Hehehe~" and pointed at Liu Jinyu. Girls and their schemes run deep.

Su Ran reached out and pinched Liu Jinyu’s cheek.

"Let’s go. Time for a spur-of-the-moment trip."

"Oh yeah~"

The more Su Ran watched Liu Jinyu’s cheerful figure, the bigger his headache grew. ’How am I supposed to ask her if I can paint, you know, *that kind* of picture of her?’

’Will she curse me out for being shameless? *sob sob sob*~’

’This is too difficult.’

’Still, I really want to take on this artistic challenge. Right! This is art, not just being a pervert.’

’Right! Art.’

...

At the residential complex where Xiao Wanqing lived, they parked the car, boarded the RV, and found all the supplies ready.

Su Ran: "With the five of us in this RV, won’t it be a little crowded?"

Xiao Wanqing gave a knowing smile. "Are you scared? The four of us girls aren’t afraid, so what are you afraid of?"

Su Ran could feel danger ’closing’ in!

Su Ran joked, "Haven’t you ever heard that a boy needs to protect himself when he goes out?"

Aina slammed the table. "Jinyu, hold down your little brother! Don’t let him back out! Yiren, close the door! Wanqing, start the engine!"

In the prime of their lives, they had found each other. Gathering together for a spur-of-the-moment trip, leaving no regrets in their youth.

One man, four women.

Laughter and cheerful voices.

Heading west.
