Everyday Romance After Becoming a Billionaire

"Sister Jinyu, you’re so beautiful. I’ll find a chance to paint a picture of you tomorrow to capture your beauty."

"You can paint too?"

"Just a little."

"Our little brother is such a genius, he can do anything. A sketch or an oil painting?"

"..."

"Nooo~"

When a girl says no, she means yes.

"I’ll take that as a yes."

"You..." Liu Jinyu bit her lip. "You’re so annoying. You’re always like this. We’ll talk about it tomorrow. I’m going to sleep."

In the end, it was the older sister who had to yield.

As the saying goes, you should find a girlfriend who’s older than you.

The "older sister" type of girlfriend is intellectual, mature, and knows how to give.

The night grew late.

...

The morning sun was bright, and the air was filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

The three girls woke up in a daze, stretched, and looked at Liu Jinyu, who was curled up at the foot of the bed.

"Jinyu, time to get up."

"Agh, don’t bother me. Let me sleep a little longer."

"Where’s Su Ran?"

"Dead!"

Xiao Wanqing was pulling on her stockings, her brow furrowed. As the saying goes, what you think about by day, you dream of by night. Last night, she’d asked the Pen Immortal about her ’future boyfriend’, and she’d dreamed about him that very night.

’Why him?’

’That’s terrifying.’

’Ew~’

The second girl.

Xie Yiren was putting on her bra, her bright, intense eyes fixed on Aina, who was looking in the mirror.

She had also dreamed of her ’future boyfriend’. And that ’one’ from the seance definitely didn’t mean ’equally handsome’, but ’one man’—because in her dream, she and Aina had gotten into a huge fight over him.

’This is so damn ridiculous.’

’What was even more ridiculous was that after fighting for ages, the man in the dream turned around, and it was him?’

’Fuck~’

The third girl.

Aina noticed Xie Yiren glaring at her.

"What are you staring at me for?"

"Can’t I stare at you?"

"Why are you being so aggressive? I didn’t do anything to you."

"So what if I’m being aggressive? What are you gonna do about it?"

"You’re insane."

"So I’m insane. Then give me the mirror, I need to use it."

"Why should I? It’s not yours."

"Are you trying to fight me for this?"

"No, what are you talking about? Did you take the wrong pills this morning?"

"Are you giving it to me, or not?"

"I’m not! Why should I? If you’ve got the guts, then come and take it!"

"You’re on!"

And so, the two women started fighting over a ’mirror’ first thing in the morning.

"Hey, stop fighting! Look at what Su Ran is doing," Xiao Wanqing said.

The four girls peered out the window, their big eyes sparkling, and saw Su Ran at the entrance to the old village, chatting and laughing happily with a pretty, innocent-looking village girl.

"Why are they standing so close? And does Su Ran really need to be dressed so handsomely this early in the morning?"

"He’s always handsome, okay? But look at that girl. Why are her eyes sparkling when she looks at Su Ran?"

"I told you Su Ran is rich. Rich guys are popular wherever they go."

Liu Jinyu speechlessly rolled her eyes at the three delusional bunnies. "I’m telling you, something is wrong with all of you this morning, isn’t it? Su Ran is just chatting with a girl. Even I don’t see a problem with it, so why are you all fantasizing so much?"

’That’s right, why are we fantasizing? It’s not like he’s our boyfriend.’

The three girls snapped back to their senses.

"Ahem, Yiren, you were talking in your sleep last night. What did you dream about?" Xiao Wanqing asked, looking for an excuse.

"I didn’t. I slept great last night, didn’t dream a thing." She let out a breath. ’Thank god I’m an Oscar-winning actress.’

"What about you?"

"I... I didn’t either."

Aina was the worst actress. Her face turned red as she shook her head. "I... I’m going to wash my face." She hurried into the bathroom, locked the door, and peered through the window at Su Ran by the village entrance.

She had also had a dream last night.

’...The Pen Immortal is seriously too much.’

’Dreaming about Su Ran was one thing, but the problem was, I dreamed... I dreamed...’

’Anyway, Aina couldn’t bring herself to say it. It was just too embarrassing, okay?’

’Why would I have that kind of disgusting dream?’

’Ugh, so gross.’

’Even though it was just a dream, she still felt so disgusted.’

The first morning of the road trip began with the four girls, who were as close as sisters, now each hiding their own secret thoughts...

...

Su Ran returned to the RV carrying a large bag of loquats. The three girls were sitting on the sofa, watching him with intriguing expressions.

"You’re back. Not going to chat with the pretty lady a little longer?" After saying this, the three girls let out a collective "Hmph," maxing out their displeasure.

Su Ran could feel the sour tang of jealousy in the air.

Just as he was about to explain, Queen Xiao raised her hand. "No need, Young Master Su. That’s your own private business. You don’t need to explain yourself to us outsiders."

"Oh." Su Ran decided not to explain then. He turned to wash the loquats, but as soon as his back was turned, he heard a THUMP, as if something had been kicked over.

Su Ran: ???

Uh...

’These three women are so weird today.’

"Actually..." Su Ran turned to face the three girls and explained with a forced smile, "That young lady’s name is Ah Yun. She’s from this village. While you were all sleeping earlier, I went out for a stroll and saw that her tricycle had tipped over. I just went over to help her load the loquats back on. She was grateful and made a special trip to give me a bag of them."

"Ooh~"

"You don’t have to explain to us."

Su Ran: ...

’They already kicked over the trash can. How could I dare not explain?’

’Hmph. Women are such hypocrites. They say one thing and do the complete opposite.’

’Su Ran swore he would never go on a one-man-four-women RV trip again. Girls were too much trouble. Their moods changed every day. Was this Sichuan opera face-changing?’

"Oh, right. Ah Yun said the hot springs here are famous. There’s a hot spring resort villa village developed by Vanke that’s supposed to be great. Do you guys want to go check it out? If so, we’ll head there after breakfast. If not, we’ll head straight for Chongqing!"

"Yes!"

"Alright, we’ll go look around the city later, then go to the hot springs."

"Whatever you say."

"..."

Su Ran’s hair stood on end. He felt like the three of them had taken the wrong medicine today. The way they were looking at him, it was like they wanted to swallow him whole and flay him alive.

He handed them the loquats to wash and went to the large bed in the back, where Liu Jinyu was still catching up on sleep.

"Hey, still not getting up?"

Liu Jinyu opened her eyes and crooked her finger. Su Ran leaned in close, and she whispered in his ear, "Do you really not know how to take care of me? Are you trying to wear me out completely?"

"No, what’s wrong?"

"Let me see."

"Go to hell..."

Liu Jinyu pushed him away, her face flushing red, and warned, "If you don’t know how to take better care of me next time, I’ll get really angry."

...

After breakfast and tidying up, they set off for the city.

Along the way, something was off.

At one point, when Xiao Wanqing was driving, Su Ran offered to sit in the passenger seat to keep her company so she wouldn’t get bored. Xiao Wanqing retorted decisively, "Not necessary!"

Su Ran’s confusion level +1.

Another time, Liu Jinyu was in the passenger seat with Xiao Wanqing while Su Ran was in the back washing a peach. He asked if they wanted some. Xie Yiren said no, Aina said yes, so then Xie Yiren wanted some too. The problem was, there was only one peach. Su Ran suggested, "I’ll split it, you can each have half."

"No!"

"You can’t just split everything in two for us to share."

"You either give it to her, or you give it to me. You choose!"

Su Ran put a hand to his forehead, a headache coming on.

’Girls are so much trouble.’

In the end, he decided not to give it to either of them and ate it himself.

As a result, he was met with more scorn. "Hmph. Of course, a man only loves himself."

Su Ran’s confusion level +2.

’I really want to punch a whiny little monster.’

「At 11:00 AM, they arrived in the city.」

"Should we get lunch first, then see if there’s anything we want to buy, and then go to the hot springs?"

"You’re the one with the money. You call the shots."

"..."
