I am not just a tycoon

"Let's go!"

Lih Xiao sniffled, turned resolutely, and the breeze suddenly picked up, lifting the soft strands of her hair, adding a touch of solitude to the scene.

"Jerk!"

"Don't come looking for my sister ever again!"

Lih Meng left in a huff, her expression filled with disgust.

What kind of people are they!

Just like her ex-boyfriend, all the same!

Nothing but animals that think with their lower half!

As that graceful silhouette receded, the Feel-good Index above her head gradually decreased, 69..68..67..66...

Shen Yuan sighed heavily in his heart.

What was all this about?!

Things were just starting to take shape, but now a huge misunderstanding had erupted.

"Yuan, is that your new girlfriend?"

This was when Li Yuhang finally realized that the girl must be Shen Yuan's girlfriend, believing Shen Yuan too was at Shuiyunjian for a massage when they spotted him there.

This misunderstanding really had blown up!

Yuan hadn't even been upstairs.

Realizing this, Li Yuhang felt somewhat ashamed, as the incident was entirely his doing.

"Should I go and explain?"

Shen Yuan shook his head in irritation, "Forget it, she's furious now, and explaining won't help, especially not coming from you."}

"Ah~ It's also my fault. If I had known you had a girlfriend, I wouldn't have suggested this place."

Li Yuhang felt uneasy, thinking Shen Yuan was still single after his breakup with Zhou Wanting, which was why he invited him to relax, never anticipating this mess.

After getting into the car, Shen Yuan remained gloomy. Among the few NPCs, his special feelings for instructor Lih Xiao were evident.

Lih Xiao was gentle, caring, and even-tempered. During their three years at university, he had never seen her so much as raise her voice.

When his family went bankrupt, she worried he might do something drastic, frequently engaged in counseling with him, and even helped him apply for scholarships.

His first startup capital also came from helping her buy bags.

After getting to know her better recently, Shen Yuan felt more and more that she was a beautiful person inside and out, always considering his feelings, like when she hesitated to help him move into his new car for fear of dirtying it.

"Ah, it seems I've really hurt the counselor's feelings this time."

Shen Yuan thought guiltily.

"Yuan, I'm sorry, I really didn't expect this."

At this point, Li Yuhang felt very remorseful.

"It's okay, a few days of pampering should set things right."

Shen Yuan waved it off.

"Who was that girl I haven't seen before? Who is she?"

Li Yuhang was curious about her identity.

"She's my counselor, also a Business English teacher."

"A teacher?!"

Li Yuhang was stunned, then incredulously said, "You even seduced a teacher?"

Shen Yuan glanced at him lightly, "What's wrong with a teacher, love is free nowadays."

"Holy shit, what else don't I know? Just spill it all at once and give me a break!"

Driving a Benz G-Class was already a big impact for Li Yuhang, and now his childhood friend was involved with a teacher.

This bastard really played wild!

Back in middle school, Li Yuhang had a crush on their young and beautiful English teacher, but he only dared to daydream; he lacked the audacity to take action.

He couldn't believe his childhood friend had turned their dreams into reality.

"What else could there be? It's just this."

Shen Yuan really wasn't in the mood for jokes and then asked, "Let's find a place to sit and talk, where do you want to go?"

Li Yuhang thought for a moment and said, "Let's find a coffee shop."

"Sure."

Shen Yuan hadn't visited Chen Na in two days, an excellent opportunity to make a casual visit.

Thinking of Nana, who wanted to have children with him, Shen Yuan's mood inexplicably brightened, then he started the vehicle...

From Shuiyunjian to MS was just two streets away, and soon Shen Yuan drove to MS.

Chen Na was making coffee and looked up to see two customers, one of whom was Shen Yuan.

Her eyes sparkled as she stepped forward, "Shen Yuan, you're here~"

"Yeah, brought a friend to have coffee,"

Shen Yuan pointed at Li Yuhang standing beside him and then asked, "Make us an iced Americano and a vanilla latte."

"Okay."

Chen Na nodded, then glanced at the man beside Shen Yuan. She had a good memory and remembered this was Li Yuhang who she saw once at Nanjing Restaurant, and Shen Yuan had invested 700,000 in his speakeasy.

"Hello."

Chen Na smiled and waved at him.

"Yeah, hello."

Li Yuhang couldn't quite place her, but she looked familiar. As he sat down, he couldn't help but whisper,

"I feel like I've seen this woman somewhere before, can't remember where, and I noticed she looks at you kind of strangely?"

"You forgot?"

Shen Yuan wasn't surprised; Li Yuhang often frequented nightclubs, faced many beautiful women, and was somewhat face-blind. Moreover, almost a month had passed since then.

"Who is she?"

"That day at Nanjing Restaurant, Lin Guangyao's cousin brought his girlfriend."

This jogged Li Yuhang's memory; that day at Nanjing Restaurant, Lin Guangyao's cousin brought the most beautiful girl there.

Wasn't she the saleswoman at the 4S store?

Why is she working here?

And she seems quite familiar with Yuan?

"Yuan, what the hell is going on?"

Li Yuhang couldn't help but ask.

"What do you think is going on? It's exactly what you see."

Shen Yuan spread his hands.

These things, Li Yuhang had to find out sooner or later.

Being his childhood friend and not an outsider, Shen Yuan had never intended to hide it from him.

"No way?"
Read new adventures at empire

Li Yuhang immediately put the pieces together, realizing that night wasn't just Lin Guangyao acting improperly; Yuan had also made a move.

The result was obvious.

After understanding it, Li Yuhang looked at him differently, his voice lowered, "Did you really pick up someone's girlfriend?"

Shen Yuan rolled his eyes, "What do you mean 'picked up'? It's mutual attraction."

"Respect!"

Li Yuhang couldn't help but give a thumbs-up.

He thought he had been bad enough, but he was nothing compared to his buddy.

Playing it pretty slick, huh!

"You've got teachers and you're digging into someone else's girlfriend, and each one prettier than the last, have you ever considered my feelings?"

For the first time, Li Yuhang felt this imbalance. He had only been envied by others before, but now he had started to envy Shen Yuan.

Thinking about the internet celebrities and speakeasy girls he'd been with, they were nothing compared to Yuan's catches.

Without makeup, their looks could beat any of those women, not to mention their figures, whether it's the tall legs in front of him, or the teacher he just met at Shuiyunjian's entrance, they were all top-notch.

Shen Yuan smiled, "You can do it too."

"I'm nowhere near as slick as you."

Shen Yuan couldn't help but look at him, "You think going to a foot spa isn't slick?"

"Is that the same? Besides, how many men nowadays haven't gone to a foot spa?"

"Alright, let's talk business."

Shen Yuan didn't want to continue that topic and paused before saying, "I won't handle the speakeasy anymore, I'll leave it all to you to manage."

Li Yuhang was slightly startled, "So sudden?"

"Yeah, go ahead and do your thing from now on."

Initially investing in the speakeasy, he had intended to be a hands-off investor, and doing business among friends, too much interference could lead to conflicts in business philosophy or other aspects down the line.

Though Li Yuhang was quite willing to listen to him, who knows about the future? Shen Yuan didn't want business issues to affect their friendship.

Most importantly, he didn't need the money from the speakeasy anymore.

"Without you strategizing behind the scenes, I can't handle the pressure alone!"

Li Yuhang said reluctantly.

"Well, if you're ever unsure about something, just consult me."

Shen Yuan suggested after completing his thoughts, "You're busy in the store a lot, add a management salary for yourself."

"That's unnecessary, we've known each other for so many years, why bother over this?"

Li Yuhang waved his hand indifferently, but still felt a bit resentful, "You damn dog, now you're making money off cryptocurrencies and foreign exchanges, you look down on this little business, huh?"

Shen Yuan smiled, "Glad you understand; anyway, I won't mind even if you run it at a loss."

"Son of a gun, don't curse me!"

Li Yuhang couldn't help but curse.

But seeing his childhood friend climb from a silver-spoon plutocrat to hitting rock bottom as a debtor, and now witnessing his rise to wealthy status again, Li Yuhang genuinely felt happy for him.

In the past, they had quite a few people in their circle, but many cut off contacts with Yuan after his bankruptcy. If they saw Yuan's current power, who knows what they'd think?

"Do you remember Luo Bingying?"

Li Yuhang suddenly asked.

"Why bring her up out of the blue?"

"Are you still in touch with her?"

Shen Yuan shook his head, "We lost contact long ago, haven't spoken since college."

"Then you..."

"Your coffee is here, ha~"

At this moment, Chen Na came over with two cups of coffee and carefully placed them in front of the two men. Li Yuhang timely shut his mouth and then smiled, saying, "Thanks, sister-in-law."

Chen Na politely responded with a smile and then turned and left. Since Shen Yuan had brought his good friend to the café, it was an acknowledgment of her,

Moreover, his friend calling her sister-in-law meant Shen Yuan had openly shared their relationship status with his friend, which was beyond her expectations.

Thinking of this, Chen Na felt very satisfied.

Li Yuhang had dinner with them that evening, and to his surprise, he was forced to witness some public displays of affection. Chen Na and Shen Yuan helping each other with food was one thing, but the constant romantic glances at dinner left him and Xiaoqiu just staring.

After dinner, he left MS.

He never felt it before, but now seeing his childhood friend, he could really feel the disparities in life.

Damn, better not hang around with this bastard too much in the future!

.....

Shen Yuan had nothing to do that evening and stayed at MS until it closed. After Chen Na had cleaned up, she sat next to Shen Yuan:

"Xinyu's college entrance exams are over next week, and she wants to take advantage of the summer break to gain some experience. I'm thinking of letting her help out at the café, what do you think?"

Shen Yuan remembered that nutrition-rich aunt and agreed without hesitation, "That sounds like a good idea, I think it's great."

"Mm-hmm."

Chen Na leaned gently on Shen Yuan's arm, her voice coy and shy, "Shen Yuan, do you still stand by what you promised me last time?"

"What promise?"

"You can't have forgotten,"

Chen Na puffed her lovely cheeks, her cheeks showing a faint blush as she whispered, "About having a baby together."

Shen Yuan's lips curved up slightly, it looked like he was in for a big expenditure tonight, he wrapped his arm around Chen Na's soft shoulder, "Of course I stand by it, let's go make a baby tonight."

Chen Na's face showed a contented smile, "Mm~"
