Chapter 10: I'm a Rich Heiress, and I'm Coming Clean!

Something flashed through Chengde's mind.

He kissed He Lianyi again and whispered in her ear, "I know, you don't need to worry about me. Just wait a few more days for me, and then your husband will have a good chat with you."

Actually, He Lianyi didn't come here to cause trouble this time; she just wanted Bai You to know about her relationship with Cheng De.

She didn't initially intend for Bai You to actually know.

He Lianyi was simply upset that Chengde wasn't replying to her messages, that was all.

Chengde coaxed He Lianyi a few more times before finally getting her to leave.

As the sounds outside the door faded away, Bai You, who had been eavesdropping, kept her eyes darting around.

The door opened, and Chengde saw Baiyou tidying up the wardrobe, looking completely at ease.

Cheng De breathed a sigh of relief.

He stepped forward, took the clothes from Bai You's hands, and said calmly, "It's the property management staff knocking on the door."

Bai You nodded, looking trusting. "Yeah, I guessed it too. The other day, the downstairs neighbor said our toilet was leaking, right? I guess he reported it to the property management, and they came to ask about the details."

Looking at Bai You's innocent face, Cheng De felt both smug and mocking.

He was pleased that Baiyou believed him completely.

He mocked Bai You for being completely brainless.

Cheng De put his arm around Bai You's waist and asked casually, "You haven't told me about your former company these past two days. How are things going? Do you need my help?"

Upon hearing this, Bai You stopped what she was doing and looked at Cheng De with some concern.

She bit her lower lip, looking somewhat hesitant to speak, "Chengde, I told my parents about my relationship with you. They're afraid you're only after my status and family fortune..."

Chengde raised an eyebrow.

It was exactly as he had thought.

Rich people are really cunning!

Chengde hugged Baiyou and kissed her forehead, his eyes full of affection as he said, "Baby, I understand your parents' concerns. I've saved up some money over the years, but I can't give it all to you."

Bai You's eyes widened, her face filled with gratitude. "Chengde, I didn't mean anything by it. Don't worry! I will definitely pay you back the money you lent me. I just need to let my parents know that you helped me."

Chengde seemed unconcerned, saying, "Baby, don't worry too much. I'll go to the bank after we finish eating."

With eyes full of love, Bai You saw Cheng De off, but the moment the door closed, her expression turned completely blank.

With a mocking glint in her eye, Bai You went to the refrigerator and grabbed a can of iced cola.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Sweetie quickly appeared, transforming into a little white kitten.

It gently rubbed its tail against Baiyou's wrist and said in a coquettish tone, "Mommy, will Chengde really take the money willingly? I'm afraid he'll regret it when he gets to the bank."

Bai You's eyes crinkled with laughter. "There's a saying in the other worlds—you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. Cheng De thinks he can win easily by controlling me, so let him think that for now."

Sweetie nodded her little cat head, "Mommy just needs to protect herself~"

Bai You reached out and patted Tian Mi Mi, laughing, "Sweetie, how could I let Cheng De take advantage of me?"

As she spoke, she gently patted Tianmi again, "I told the host parents that I've been traveling these past few days. Help me set up the scene later, I need to take pictures to show the host parents."

The little cat nodded its head vigorously, "Okay, Mommy!"

Bai You was exhausted when she received the 300,000 yuan transfer from Cheng De.

Bai You clicked her tongue.

As far as she knew, Chengde had more than three million yuan in savings.
