Chapter 39 The Rich Second Generation

-

After finishing her class that day, Wen Yining received a missed call on her phone.

Shen Yueze's.

She didn't call back, nor did she block his number, guessing he probably wouldn't call again, and that he had likely already discovered he'd been blocked on WeChat.

While I was eating, I received another friend request; it was from a new account.

It's also a photo of a snow-capped mountain; you can tell without even thinking that it's Shen Yueze.

It had been a while since Chen Jiabai had been in the cold, so she sent Chen Jiabai a message, speechless.

On the other end, Chen Jiabai was still excited that she was willing to reply to his message: "Ningning, are you free today? Can I come pick you up now?"

-

She went to the supermarket inside the school, picked out an ice cream from the freezer, and was still hesitating whether or not to see Chen Jiabai today.

She understood the principle of knowing when to stop, and this time Chen Jiabai's attitude satisfied her; he wasn't perfunctory or dismissive.

Instead, they really tried their best to explain.

She didn't care whether the two had slept together or not; she just wanted to see how sincere he was so she could make her next decision.

The price of the ice cream was posted on the freezer; this Zhong Xue Gao in my hand cost 18 yuan.

Special milk

Old Tree North Matcha

Hand-boiled jasmine

Strawberry White Chocolate

...

Every flavor looks so tempting, I want to try them all, but they're too expensive. I'll have Chen Jiabai buy them next time.

He sighed, got a Zhongjie 1946 cigarette, and asked the supermarket owner, "How much is this?"

"26."

"..."

The shop owner's attitude was lukewarm: "Unless you're buying wholesale, this is the price."

Unexpectedly, it was even more expensive, so she put it back in its original place and bought a cheaper grape-flavored one for only 2 yuan.

At the same time, someone pushed open the other side of the freezer and picked up the two ice creams she had put down.

Her fingers were long and slender with distinct knuckles, and she wore a Patek Philippe watch on her wrist that looked somewhat familiar.

Wen Yining had been looking down, pondering how Chen Jiabai would make it up to her after they reconciled...?

Upon seeing the arm, he instinctively looked up, paused, his expression freezing for a moment, somewhat surprised: "How did you get in?"

Shen Yueze looked at her coldly, his eyes showing a hint of dissatisfaction, then took out his phone and had the boss scan the QR code.

He then handed her the 18-yuan Zhong Xuegao cigarette.

She was carrying a bag of daily necessities; she'd come out to buy sanitary napkins. Her period was about to start. Taking the bag, I had this strange feeling that he was there to settle a score.

It couldn't be just because I blocked you...

She continued, "How did you know I was at the supermarket?"

"Your roommate said so."

"oh."

When they came out, they told the two of them, and they all knew that Shen Yueze was recently called in by Chen Jiabai as a savior, specifically to ease the tension between the couple.

"Remove me from the blacklist first."

"Was that your alt account that added me today?"

She even suspected that if she didn't agree, he would use a third number to harass her again.

Shen Yueze: "Mm."

He has two phones, one Apple and one Huawei.

One of them was used as a business phone, making a total of four numbers. But getting a phone number is so easy; she gets new numbers contacting her every day.

Wen Yining glanced at him, then turned to walk towards her dormitory building, saying somewhat awkwardly, "Why are you following me? I'm going back to my dorm."

"Come out with me for a bit, I have something to talk to you about."

"I'm not going."

This unconsciously reminded her of the time they went to see a midnight movie. At first, she trusted him; he had promised not to take advantage of her.

As a result, I couldn't resist while she was asleep.

He stared at her less-than-pleasant expression and asked, as if by telepathy, "Remembering that night?"

Wen Yining didn't say anything and continued walking forward. The ice cream in her hand was a little cold, so she threw one into her shopping bag.

He stayed by her side, and when he noticed she was trying to shake him off, he reached out and grabbed her wrist. "It's about Chen Jiabai."

"Which aspect? Is it that Youyou again?"

Shen Yueze paused for a moment. Actually, sowing discord was no longer effective at this point. If she really cared and wanted to break up, she would have done so long ago. She wouldn't have let Chen Jiabai keep bothering her.

It's obvious that they're giving Chen Jiabai a chance, not a clean break, nor a reconciliation, but rather giving him a glimmer of hope so that he can desperately try to win her back.

He asked knowingly, "You don't mind at all that Chen Jiabai has slept with other people?"

"..."

"You don't mind if he cheats on you?"

She didn't reply, her expression was so-so. What real girlfriend could tolerate this? Even if she was after Chen Jiabai's money and family background, she would still care and feel disgusted.

After the other woman sent her so many provocative messages, she was so annoyed that she only ate one meal that day, and for the next few days she had no appetite.

She really wanted to break off the relationship out of spite.

But reality constantly reminds her,

Just like now, I hesitated before buying an ice cream that cost over ten yuan, and then put it down.

Not to mention skincare and cosmetics, every aspect of life, from food and clothing to housing, is tied to money.

Once you enter the workforce, work, interests, social status, and personal connections all become intertwined.

She doesn't love Chen Jiabai, but after weighing the pros and cons, she will still choose him.

-

Actually, last year, Feng Yan and Chen Jiabai both pursued him. Of course, it wasn't just the two of them, but he was the best in terms of overall conditions, so we only considered the two of them.

Originally, she had more affection for Feng Yan, otherwise she wouldn't have been chatting with him so late at night.

Unfortunately, Feng Yan's family background was average; he wasn't a rich second-generation or an official's son.

They own a house and a car in a second-tier city, and their parents have stable jobs with a combined annual income of several hundred thousand yuan.

Those who can get into this school are not from particularly poor families; the initial training alone requires a lot of money.

If she hadn't met Chen Jiabai, she would have thought that Feng Yan was already quite good, not to mention handsome and with a good personality.

What Feng Yan meant was that after graduation, she wanted to go back to that second-tier city with him.

You don't necessarily have to enter the chaotic entertainment industry. With this face, you can consider many careers.

They won't live a life of extravagance and debauchery.

But you'll also be carefree, without any major ups and downs.

There's only one chance to choose in this kind of situation; there's no turning back.

After some hesitation, she was still unwilling to live an ordinary life.

I don't want a life where I can see the end from the beginning.

So he chose Chen Jiabai.

-

Shen Yueze looked around and asked her, "Where do couples usually hang out at your school?"

"There used to be a secluded spot, but it's gone now."

She tried to pull her arm back. "Can you let go of me? If it's about Chen Jiabai, then there's no need to say anything. Let him explain himself. There's no need to bring you in as reinforcements. Go do your thing."

He didn't say anything, but continued to pull her in the opposite direction.

She paused for two seconds, then asked, "Don't you have any dates planned?"

"Who are you meeting with?"

"The girl who's pursuing you."

"who."

"How would I know who it is? There are probably many."

He chuckled softly, "There are a lot of mosquitoes outside, come wait in my car for a while."

"Can't you say what you want to say now?"

Wen Yining felt the probing gazes of her classmates, who were pulling and tugging at her, so she was too embarrassed to make any more moves.

She was already quite eye-catching walking alone on the street, but with a dashing and roguish young man beside her, she attracted even more curious glances.

Shen Yueze: "The car is parked inside your school, it's not going out, what are you worried about?"

She glanced at him sideways; he had a lazy,颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it conveys a sense of listlessness, decadence, and apathy) air about him, his movements were slow, his demeanor was listless, and he walked as if he were taking a stroll.

She wore a pink trendy T-shirt, loose casual pants, and Vessel canvas shoes.

Why are you so insistent on telling her about Chen Jiabai? Could it be something bad...?

She made wild guesses, "Don't tell me later that Chen Jiabai has an illegitimate child that I've never met."

He chuckled lazily, "It's not that outrageous."

While getting a woman pregnant with Chen Jiabai's child is quite simple, it's not guaranteed that the baby will stay.

This matter has blown up, and Uncle Chen will have to get involved.

Once he intervenes, the final outcome, whether good or bad, is no longer up to him.

Making a big fuss about it won't be good for anyone; the girls he paid to date will most likely have to expose him.

Chen Jiabai would never ask his parents for help with things like honey traps, drugging and raping, or sleeping with someone for several nights; he would handle it all himself.

However, he was a little puzzled and suddenly asked her, "Hey, if Chen Jiabai really kept it from you and had a child outside, would you get a divorce?"

She frowned, lost in thought, and relaxed her body a little, letting him lead her away.

I had never really thought about this issue before. I thought that at just over twenty years old, things like infidelity and mistresses would only happen a few years after marriage, and there were too many cases like the seven-year itch.

But after what happened with Youyou, she now feels that nothing is impossible, there are many unexpected events, and there are many strange people.

"I don't know, we'll see how he reacts."

Shen Yueze's expression turned cold. He closed the passenger door, got in from the other side, and then turned on the air conditioning.

She felt the car was cooler than outside, with a lingering chill in the air conditioning; it was still unbearably hot and humid today.

"There are a lot of mosquitoes where there are flowers and plants."

She scratched her thigh, where a bite had left a welt. She had just taken a shower and smelled fresh and clean.

I forgot to bring mosquito repellent when I went out, but I thought I would be back soon. There was mosquito repellent in the room, and I don't like the smell of floral water.

Shen Yueze's gaze shifted downwards as she wrapped her legs around her, lingering for a few seconds. Her skin was dazzlingly white, and at this distance, he could even smell the faint fragrance of her shower gel and hair, which smelled quite pleasant.

She was dressed quite simply, in loose lounge shorts and a T-shirt, with her hair down, completely without makeup, exuding a fresh and clean aura that was inexplicably alluring.

Wen Yining noticed his gaze and stopped what she was doing. "Just say what you have to say. No one else can hear us."

Shen Yueze turned up the air conditioning by one level, his expression somewhat melancholy, his usual effortless demeanor gone.

He looked at her calmly, without speaking immediately.

She really didn't want to tell him about Chen Jiabai's plan to marry her, but she would find out sooner or later.

Wen Yining's curiosity was piqued, and her expression was full of questions.

He said slowly, "Chen Jiabai, I'm getting ready to get engaged to you."

"Really?"

"Um."

"He told you that??"

"He discussed it with us. By the way, Ye Qingchi is still giving him advice on how to coax you back together."

Shen Yueze noticed that her expression changed quite quickly. She had initially been impatient with him, her tone full of resentment, as if she wanted to escape back to the girls' dormitory immediately.

Upon hearing the news, they became excited almost instantly.

He asked coldly, "You really want to marry him?"

Wen Yining hesitated for a moment, unsure how to tell him.

She had two dreams: first, to act in a movie directed by a famous director and become an overnight sensation, preferably one directed by Zhuang Qingyun.

Secondly, she married Chen Jiabai.

Why "dream" instead of "goal"? Because it's something that can't be achieved in the short term, and it seems a bit far-fetched to her.

If someone suddenly told her that she had gotten what she wanted most without any effort, it would be a lie to say she wasn't happy.

Although this news was heard from Shen Yueze, its authenticity remains to be verified.

Wen Yining asked, "When did he say that?"

"What happened today."

Shen Yueze suddenly regretted telling her; her expectations far exceeded his imagination.

"To apologize to me?"

"Is this the best way for you?"

"Um."

More effective than giving her a hundred handbags, Chen Jiabai wasn't one to make empty promises, but occasionally he couldn't help revealing his inner thoughts, sketching out a seemingly perfect picture of married life for her—

She said she doesn't need to learn anything and can still remain a pampered child. If she has a baby, she won't have to take care of it herself. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is difficult, but they don't live together.

She doesn't like cooking or doing housework; she only loves dressing up.

If you've never experienced the mundane realities of daily life, you certainly don't want to experience them in the future.

-

Shen Yueze paused for a moment, staring at her expression, and continued to ask, "Do you really want to marry him?"

She snapped out of her reverie about married life with Chen Jiabai and asked, puzzled, "Why do you ask that...?"

Shen Yueze didn't reply immediately; his expression was somewhat gloomy, and he felt an indescribable sense of unease.

Her answer determined his choice—whether to let go or not.

If she also wants to get married, then even if she finds ten girls of Youyou's caliber to sabotage their relationship, it won't make a difference.

If you can accept your husband sleeping with someone else once, you can accept it countless times.

Whether it was a honey trap or infidelity, it no longer matters.

If she doesn't want to get married, he has other options.

He knew her answer before he came, but after actually asking, he still couldn't help feeling unwilling to give up.

Wen Yining looked at him intently, a little puzzled and confused. Her eyes were clear and bright, her pupils black and white constantly challenging his principles.

Shen Yueze opened the window a little. He really wanted to smoke, but he wanted to kiss her even more. He wasn't a heavy smoker.

However, the urge to kiss her needs to be suppressed by the urge to smoke.

"I thought this would cause you two to break up."

A leisurely affair.

She said, "I've thought about it."

But that would mean giving up halfway...

-

Chen Jiabai was quite infatuated with her, which was of course maintained by her effort and time. It's impossible for anyone to be in love without putting in any effort.

Chen Jiabai went to great lengths to understand all her preferences, and she did the same for him.

This is a two-way street.

Moreover, if they break up, she will feel that she has lost out, that it is not worth it, and that it is not worth the loss.

Because she definitely can't choose Feng Yan again, because Feng Yan would think that she only went to him after being dumped by Chen Jiabai.

Getting to know someone takes a lot of time.

A year isn't enough to truly understand a person; at least three or five years are needed.

There's no time to start all over again.

She did have many suitors, but they were all sorts of weirdos; good guys are rare to begin with.

Those who are generous and willing to give are even fewer.

-

She sat up straighter, her languid demeanor turning serious, and said quite frankly, "Chen Jiabai and I know each other very well; we've known each other since high school and have been friends for a long time."

"We have a clear understanding of each other's moral bottom line. Although we haven't been talking for very long, it's been five or six years since the first year of high school."

She didn't love Chen Jiabai, but she believed he was a good person.

Often, she can only see the best side of people, but she completely misses the worst, most awful, and darkest aspects.

Shen Yueze nodded in agreement. That was indeed the case. "Many people date for seven or eight years and eventually lose all feelings for each other, but they still choose to get married."

Because the time cost is too high, I don't want to spend several more years getting to know someone.

When did he start liking you?

"I don't know, maybe in the second year of high school."

She still didn't understand. "You drove all this way just to tell me this? Why didn't Chen Jiabai come to tell me?"

Shen Yueze gave an irrelevant answer, "After you two get engaged, I won't be able to see you whenever I want."

She was still puzzled: "Why?"

He stared at her without saying a word.

We can meet, but only if we are Chen Jiabai's good brother.

We still have to keep our distance; we can't just kiss or hug whenever we want.

He said casually, "Seeing too much of this makes you feel like you're in a movie theater."

I want to have sex with her.

He also wanted to take her back to his apartment, pin her down on the bed, and *do* her.

Wen Yining took a few seconds to process what he had said earlier, her expression puzzled as she tried to piece together the events leading up to this.

I felt that his speaking style was different today; he wasn't as direct or vulgar as usual, but rather his words were more suggestive.

Without thinking further, she said, "I'm leaving."

Whatever he's doing, it's always best to keep your distance.

He said, "Wait a minute."

It's already dark.

She looked out the car window; when she came over, the sky was still dim, and the sunset was a deep reddish hue.

He tilted his head and lit a cigarette, his expression slightly somber. He repeatedly suppressed the urge to kiss her. Every time she spoke, looked at him, crossed her legs, or tossed her hair, she was seducing him.

If I hadn't lit this cigarette, I probably would have lost control by now.

He took a few puffs, his arm casually draped over the bicycle frame, flicking off the ash, the restlessness in his chest growing stronger.

After a moment of silence, he said, "We won't be able to meet like this again. Give me one last kiss."

"?"

Wen Yining really couldn't keep up with his train of thought. She was completely puzzled. Just a moment ago, he was talking about serious matters, like keeping your distance. She thought it made sense, agreed with it, and thought it was appropriate.

What awaited her next was this request...?

He said slowly, "This is the last kiss, and Chen Jiabai won't know."

She disagreed, saying, "Stop talking nonsense, I'm going back."

My right hand instinctively reached for the doorknob, but it didn't work. I pulled harder again, but it still didn't work.

That's when I realized he had already locked it. I don't know when he locked it.

"Open the door."

Regardless of her consent, he grabbed the back of her neck, drew closer, and kissed her without any gentleness.

Before Wen Yining could react, the pain in her lips traveled to her brain, itching and feeling like an electric shock.

The overwhelming scent of masculine hormones, along with the subtle fragrance of the Napoleon water he was using today, was immediately noticeable.

He used considerable force, and she tried to break free, but was unable to.

At the same time, her attempt to speak gave him an opportunity, and they instantly engaged in a French kiss.

This is the second time...

My first deep kiss was with him, and it was under similar circumstances.

Unfamiliar, yet somewhat familiar.

She pinched his arm hard, trying to hit him, but unfortunately she didn't have long nails, so the damage wasn't strong. The pain only made him more excited.

When I got really annoyed, I put her two wrists together and held them in place with one hand.

With his other hand, he gripped her neck.

Only weak whimpers remained in the private room.

...

...

In her mind, French kissing should be the most private thing. Ordinary kisses on the cheek, chin, or lips are not so excessive, but French kissing is different.

Why is it Shen Yueze both times?

She was almost out of strength and still hadn't managed to break free.

This time, Shen Yueze became even less gentle, thinking that he wouldn't be able to kiss her again.

He kissed her until he was completely satisfied and felt utterly satisfied before he was willing to let go of her.

As expected, after her hands were freed, she wanted to slap him again.

However, this time, he had anticipated it and raised his arm to block it in advance.

Wen Yining's lips were bitten red, and her eyes were filled with tears due to lack of oxygen. She had a heavy sense of resentment and a hint of unspoken grievances.

Little did she know that this appearance only made her more alluring in his eyes.

He said, "Don't look at me like that, as if I slept with you, nothing happened."

"What do you mean by 'didn't do anything'??"

Shen Yueze thought he had made her cry, so he tore off two tissues to help her wipe them, saying, "I won't mess with you anymore."

"Who would believe that?"

She wasn't trying to cry; she just felt this person was being unreasonable. "Didn't you say the same thing last time?"

"That night, I thought you two were breaking up, since you weren't even engaged yet."

That is, setting up a scheme to get Youyou to seduce Chen Jiabai on the night of the pool party.

"..."

"You'll be Chen Jiabai's fiancée soon, don't worry, I really won't mess with you anymore."

Too lazy to say anything more, she wiped her mouth vigorously with a tissue and said irritably, "Open the door."

He was quite annoyed by the act of wiping his mouth, and threatened in a flippant tone, "If you wipe your mouth with paper again, I won't let you go down today."

She paused, crumpled up the paper, and threw it over.

He didn't let her leave immediately, but instead asked, "After Chen Jiabai kissed you, did you have to wipe yourself with a tissue too?"

"He's my boyfriend, but you're not."

Shen Yueze's eyes darkened. He had hoped that this kiss would relieve his burning desire, but it backfired. He wanted more.

It didn't even alleviate the problem in the slightest.

The fact that she was his best friend's fiancée was enough to bring him back to his senses.

But today, the reluctance to let go has only grown stronger.

Wen Yining tugged at her T-shirt, urging anxiously, "Hurry up and open the door."

He unlocked the door this time without saying anything more.

Upon hearing the noise, she almost immediately opened the car door and jumped out as if fleeing.

Shen Yueze was almost amused by her reaction, unable to tell whether she was afraid of being discovered or simply disliked him.

-

After getting off the bus, she was once again enveloped in sweltering heat, like a steamer. The bus itself was cool, but for one person, it was a strange sight; a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.

After walking a distance, Wen Yining still looked back to see if he had left.

Thankfully, that black G63 really did drive away.

They drove towards the entrance but didn't follow.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief, pointed her phone camera at herself, and tidied her messy long hair.

Shen Yueze, that bastard...

vile, obscene...

His grip on her neck had turned it red.

Her lips were also red.

There are also some marks on my wrist.

He already had fair skin, and with his strong hands, he could easily leave marks.

As she walked up to the dormitory building, she felt very uneasy, trying to come up with an excuse. What would she do if her roommates saw her?

Anyone can tell what just happened.

The loose T-shirt I wore when I came out was all wrinkled.

He unbuttoned his bra with one hand.

She can't walk too fast, or she'll sway.

When she pushed open the door, her roommates were all busy with their own things, making a lot of noise. Geng Chutong complained, "Dai Anning, you're so noisy. Keep it down and stop singing. It doesn't sound good."

"I was still sleeping when you played music yesterday, and I didn't say anything to you."

There are always arguments in the dormitory over trivial matters. I don't know if it's intentional or due to a lack of consideration. In any case, it all stems from that one big conflict at the beginning, and the relationship has never improved.

The three of them didn't look up to pay attention to Wen Yining. Wen Yining closed the door, returned to his seat, took a few deep breaths, and opened the ice cream he had bought.

It's been sitting for a while, and it's starting to decompose.

She quickly took a bite; it was icy cold and had a sea salt and coconut flavor.

He hissed, a spot on his lip hurt a little, and when he ate, he inevitably touched the spot where he had bitten him.

I couldn't help but curse him in my heart again.

When I turned on my phone, there was a bunch of missed calls and unread messages.

There are also my eldest and second eldest brothers.

It's almost the weekend, and it's been a while since we last saw each other, so we arranged to meet on Saturday.

Dai Anning then turned around and said, "By the way, the things in that box were all gifts from Chen Jiabai. There are several luxury bags. Open them and take a look."

Wen Yining then noticed, and squatting down with an ice cream in her mouth, she mumbled, "This, when did he give it to you?"

"During the day, you went to class and asked me to bring this up for you. You also gave me a pair of headphones, which cost over two thousand yuan. You said you wanted to bribe me and asked me to help persuade you."

Dai Anning spun her chair over to her desk. "He was really nice, I couldn't refuse him, and he looked tired and worried, clearly very concerned about this."

He's been coming for several days now, but Wen Yining hasn't gone to see him.

At the same time, my nerves relaxed, thankfully it didn't happen at night...

Ten minutes ago, Shen Yueze locked her in the car and shamelessly forced a kiss on her.

They even unbuttoned her bra...

...

There was a cardboard box, about the size of a suitcase, next to the desk.

The apology gifts, large and small, were all packed together.

"And iPads too..."

Dai Anning flipped through the contents with curiosity and envy.

The computer was the cheapest item inside; the others—necklaces, bracelets, dresses, bags, and high heels—were all quite expensive.

She was somewhat surprised, but not overjoyed, and said calmly, "So much."

"I can see you want to make up with him, so just accept it. He's clearly trying his best."

She didn't deny it, and calmly opened the classic orange packaging box. The Hermès mini Kelly, milkshake white, cost about 300,000 yuan including the purchase price.

It's the one she wanted before; it's not too big to carry, and it's delicate and compact.

Therefore, Chen Jiabai is probably her best choice...

A note from the author:

My darlings, I need nutrient solution!!

I feel like the real excitement of this story hasn't even begun yet. [cat emoji][cat emoji]

The above are just appetizers, haha.
