Everyday Romance After Becoming a Billionaire

"Aren’t you afraid of what I might do to you?"

"Here." Shan Weizi’s index finger tapped against the longsword at the head of the bed. "You’re welcome to try."

"..."

Su Ran was at a loss. ’With this woman, nothing was going to happen unless she wanted it to.’

"Alright."

Su Ran finished the medicine, got into bed, turned off the light, and was plunged into darkness.

"Su Ran."

"Yes?"

"Are you still cold?"

"Still a little."

"You’re on an electric blanket. How are you still cold?"

"I don’t know. I just am."

"You’re really not in great shape, are you, Mr. Su? Sigh."

After a sigh, Su Ran felt the covers lift and then settle again. A soft, warm body was lying on his chest.

"Still cold?"

"A little."

She wriggled a little closer and wrapped her arms around his body.

"How about now? Still cold?"

"Not anymore."

"Mm."

After another ten seconds of silence, Shan Weizi chuckled and playfully punched him once on the chest.

"Liar."

"???"

"Y-You said you were freezing, but your body is clearly burning up."

"???"

Su Ran was speechless. ’Any man would probably heat up if a beautiful woman offered to warm him up, right?’

"Su Ran."

"Yeah?"

"Do you know what my parents say about you?"

"Let’s hear it."

"Well~" Shan Weizi’s fingertip drew circles on Su Ran’s chest. "They said you’re the man who’s the most perfect match for me."

"Why?"

"Because you’re exceptionally talented, your painting Style is from my Wu School, and it’s a lot like Tang Bohu’s."

"And that’s why they misunderstood our relationship?"

"No, that’s not all. They also said you’re mature and honest, not like those young guys who are already sly and cunning and think a little talent gives them the right to show off. They said you’re low-key, don’t flash your wealth, and are good to the people around you. In short, a good young man."

"I think so too."

"Shameless. Praising yourself."

"It’s the truth. Are you going to deny it?"

"Yes, yes, yes, whatever you say. Su Ran..."

"What is it?"

"Don’t you think our meeting was really destined?"

"It does feel that way."

’It was so incredible, even to him. It all started with that *Hundred Years Phoenix Painting* during his trip. After that, he kept hearing Shan Weizi’s name and grew more and more interested in this talented woman. He never would have guessed that the fluffy romance story he was reading was written by her, or that the netizen he was meeting was also her. Then, as if guided by fate, he’d inexplicably completed Shan Changqing’s impossible task: "Find something you love most that also suits my greatest love." The result? He’d brought Shan Weizi herself back with him, and now, they’d been labeled a "couple"—news that had spread throughout the Shan Family and all of Spirit Sword Mountain.’

’Often, when Su Ran thought about all of it, he could only conclude it was the arrangement of heaven. Otherwise, there was no way so many coincidences could have happened.’

’Besides, Shan Weizi had traveled a thousand miles to Lingzhou to persuade his grandfather just for that wood carving. Su Ran hadn’t said anything, but in his heart, he knew what her feelings were.’

’But even if it was arranged by heaven, the reality was that he already had a girlfriend. He couldn’t bring himself to deceive a girl who was so good to him. That crossed a fundamental line for him.’

"Shan Weizi, I really wasn’t lying last time. I do have a girlf—"

Before he could finish, Shan Weizi raised her index finger and pressed it to his lips.

She moved off his chest and sat up.

She raised her hands, her eyes fixed on Su Ran. Her red lips parted as she said, "Su Ran, I, Shan Weizi, am a woman who believes in fate. I believe all our coincidences were arranged by destiny. And that... is enough."

The moment she finished speaking, the woman named Shan Weizi leaned down, wrapped her arms around Su Ran, and lay back down on his chest.

"I believe in fate, too. I hope you won’t let me down in the future."

"Mm."
