Everyday Romance After Becoming a Billionaire

The door was unlocked.

Obviously, the little minx was just waiting for him to come in and clear up this whole "I like you" business.

Girls love to get tangled up in these matters of the heart.

Guys really don’t.

Sigh...

Su Ran thought it would be so much easier if he were a scumbag.

Then he wouldn’t have to care if the girls were happy or not. If one of them was upset, he’d just do her. If she still wasn’t happy, he’d do her until she was.

But in the end, he just couldn’t get past the hurdle of his own conscience.

’Forget it. I’ll just go in and coax the little cutie. After all, what’s that saying again? ’You have to take care of your own...’’

CREAK~

He pushed the door open and walked in.

Aina was leaning against the headboard, hugging a pillow. Her long legs were crossed straight out in front of her as she chewed on a piece of dried yogurt.

"What are you doing in here?"

"???"

Su Ran was speechless. ’Didn’t you leave the door unlocked and stay in the room specifically because you were waiting for me to come in?’ he thought.

Alright, girls will be girls. They say things they don’t mean to appear reserved, and with a simple "What are you doing in here?" she had easily seized the upper hand.

But... Su Ran wasn’t going to indulge her today!

Throughout this entire trip, Su Ran had to admit that he had spoiled Aina the most. And look at her now, she was acting out because of it.

If he kept spoiling her, what would she become?

"I came in to get my charger. I’ll leave as soon as I have it."

Su Ran picked up the charger from the nightstand, glanced at Aina who was puffing her cheeks and looking away, and walked toward the door without another word.

One step.

Two steps.

Su Ran could keenly sense Aina on the bed, furiously kicking the blankets.

Three...

Aina finally broke. She gave in. ’This man is just asking for a beating! We’re about to part ways, can’t you just give me one more chance to act spoiled?’

Often, when a girl who is used to being spoiled and acting cute suddenly isn’t indulged, she feels that you’ve had a change of heart and feels wronged.

The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt. Her eyes reddened, and she flopped onto the bed, crying, "Waaah..." Su Ran got goosebumps. ’Could her crying be any more fake?’

"How could you spank me!~"

"Aina, you’d better stop right now, or I’ll spank you again. You believe me?"

Su Ran’s domineering aura was on full display.

’Is she going to rebel?’

’If I can’t even tame one woman, won’t she be walking all over me in the future?’

Seeing Su Ran’s "fierce" look, it was just like a "little wife" acting up to get her "hubby" to coax her, only for the "hubby" to be completely unreasonable and spank her instead.

"Are you going to keep acting up or not!"

Su Ran pressed his advantage, barking fiercely.

Aina’s body trembled. She didn’t even dare to let out a sob, her small frame shaking as she held it in. Her eyes were genuinely red now. Her lips puckered, and with a *hic*, she let out a little sob. She was truly scared into tears.

"You’re still being mean to me, waah..."

"Oh-ho, you’re still not stopping, are you? Looks like I’ll have to pull down your pants today and give you a proper spanking."

"No, no, no..." Aina quickly grabbed the waistband of her pants. How could she dare to cry now?

’So frustrating.’

’I’ve lived this long, only to be spanked like a little kid by a man. If word of this gets out, how could I ever face anyone again?’

Aina looked at Su Ran’s fuming expression and said, "Su Ran, can you not spank me?"

Su Ran glared. "Then are you going to keep acting up or not?"

"I won’t. I won’t act up anymore."

"What if you act up again in the future?"

"Then... then..." Aina lowered her head, her face red, and said in a tiny voice, "Then you can spank me."

"Alright, I’ll forgive you this time."

’Holy crap...’

Aina was dying of embarrassment.

She fidgeted, still holding her waistband, feeling super mortified.

"Hurry up!!!"

"Oh."

The morning sun was bright. The courtyard was filled with the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds. Little fish in the pond surfaced to blow bubbles, but were suddenly scared back under the water by the sound of a girl’s voice from the bedroom.

"Ouch, look for yourself. It’s covered in your palm prints. You were so rough."

"They really are fingerprints. I guess I was a bit heavy-handed. But you were the one acting up. If you do it again next time, it won’t be as simple as just a spanking."

"..."

SMACK~

Ouch~

Su Ran gave her another pat on the butt.

"Okay, it’s nothing serious. Pull them up. I’m going to pack my bags."

He walked to the door with an air of righteousness, but Aina called out to him. "Su Ran, are you really not coming back to Shanghai with us?"

"No, school starts in a few days. I have to go back and get ready, so I won’t go to Shanghai with you. Uh... maybe next time. After my military training is over, I’ll go to Shanghai to see you guys."

"Oh."

That afternoon, Su Ran found a logistics company to ship the RV back to Shanghai. Xiao Wanqing would hand it over to the rental company when it arrived.

Then, the group went to the airport.

The four girls were heading to Shanghai, while Su Ran was returning to Ninghai.

The trip was short, and the relationships were a mess. He needed some time and distance to sort things out. If they continued to be tangled up together, Su Ran couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t end up sleeping with the other three.

That would be a moment of pleasure in exchange for a future where they could never face each other again. Otherwise, did he really think the four of them were naive, simple-minded idiots who would agree to share one husband?

Therefore, it was best to use time to let everyone cool down. Time was the best remedy. They were all only eighteen or nineteen, anyway. The future was long.

「In the VIP lounge.」

The five of them sat together, looking through the happy memories from their trip, only to discover that Su Ran’s photo album was full of their unflattering pictures.

For example, the one where Su Ran had photoshopped ghastly makeup onto Xiao Wanqing.

For example, the one of Aina catching eels, plopping her butt down in a mud pit, and getting covered in mud.

For example, the one of Xie Yiren in the elevator, intentionally baring her shoulder to "seduce" Su Ran.

There was also one of Su Ran fast asleep, his face secretly covered in lipstick graffiti by the four girls.

They were all unflattering photos, all memories they couldn’t bear to look back on. But on a trip, compared to the beautifully posed pictures, it was these embarrassing shots that truly made them remember the life they had once longed for and shared together.

Looking at these photos, they suddenly felt the trip had ended too quickly, and the four girls became a little sad.

Su Ran smiled and said, "There will be plenty of opportunities to travel in the future. After winter break, we’ll set off again. We can go wherever you want, even abroad."

The four girls nodded.

Just then, it was time to board.

Su Ran walked them to the boarding gate.

Although it was just the end of a trip, the four girls created an atmosphere as if they wouldn’t see each other for centuries.

They hugged one by one.

First up—Xiao Wanqing.

They hugged, and she whispered in his ear, "Su Ran, I’m so happy I got to know you. I hope things can always be like this."

Su Ran nodded. "Mm, they will. Go on." He gave her a light pat on the butt, and Xiao Wanqing turned and entered with her luggage.

Next up—Xie Yiren.

They hugged, and she whispered in his ear, "I know you didn’t delete the photo, but I’m warning you not to share it, or I’ll really send a Gu Insect to bite you."

Su Ran nodded. "Don’t worry. By the way, about that Phoenix you carry... do you have some kind of special status in your tribe?"

Xie Yiren: "I’ll tell you next time you come to Shanghai."

Su Ran nodded. "Mm, alright. Go on." He gave her a light pat on the butt, and Xie Yiren also turned and entered with her luggage.

Next up—Aina.

Aina opened her arms for a hug, but Su Ran deliberately took a step back, nearly making her cry from anger. Su Ran just chuckled and stepped forward to hug her.

Aina whispered in his ear, "I don’t like you, really. I really won’t not like you."

Su Ran nodded. "Whatever. Go on." He gave her a light pat on the butt. That damn familiar feeling... Aina shot him a glare, then turned and left with her luggage.

And the last one—Liu Jinyu.

Being his girlfriend, she had a lot more to say. They chattered for a while and shared several kisses before Liu Jinyu finally gave him one last instruction: "Stinky Ranran, school is about to start. There will be a lot of pretty new classmates. You won’t be this nice to them too, will you?"

"You don’t trust me?"

"It’s not that I don’t trust you. It’s that you’re so handsome and so rich. Girls really go for that, you know?"

"Oh, don’t worry. I know my limits."

"Mm, okay. We’ll talk on the phone."

"Go on."

A light pat on the butt, and Liu Jinyu turned and left with her luggage as well.

Su Ran also turned, carrying the "Four Little Actresses Bathing Painting" that he had painted himself, and headed for the Ninghai boarding gate.

Time to go home...
