"What a loss..."

Chi Yuan stroked his chin, looking inscrutable, while Shen Yulou sat upright, ready to comfort him at any moment.

"Actually, there wasn't much loss. The Visla family has many businesses in every country. If I had to talk about losses... I might have suffered more."

Shen Yulou: ...

Okay, he was just being nosy.

"How much did Young Master Chi lose?"

Slightly annoyed, Chi Yuan stuffed a slice of pizza into his mouth. Chi Yuan lowered his head and took small bites with his teeth, finally wiping his mouth elegantly with a napkin.

“I invested in a lot of companies there, intending to hold them long-term, but now the stock prices have plummeted and my assets have shrunk significantly.”

"The losses are difficult to estimate at the moment, as many projects are still pending liquidation, but it is certainly not a small amount."

"Moreover, I have some port logistics projects coming up, which I estimate will also fall through."

Seeing Chi Yuan's gloom, Shen Yulou sat on his lap, put her arm around his shoulder, and leaned against his chest like a little bird, comforting him softly.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll always be with you. Keep going, you'll definitely make a comeback."

Chi Yuan also cooperated by embracing his lover and gently kissing Shen Yulou's forehead.

"Don't worry, it's not a big problem. My brother will compensate me with some money and it will be made up for."

Shen Yulou silently raised two middle fingers in front of him, and Chi Yuan couldn't help but laugh, but Shen Yulou covered his mouth again.

Teasing Shen Yulou is so much fun!

"To be honest, Belencia isn't entirely without a chance to fight back."

"Their foreign exchange reserves are still considerable, which can support their intervention in the exchange rate market to a certain extent and slow down the rate of currency depreciation."

"The reason they are in such a passive position now is probably because they were initially seeking assistance from the International Monetary Fund, but they haven't reached an agreement on the terms yet."

Chi Yuan gently removed Shen Yulou's hand and continued his methodical analysis, speaking with great clarity and logic, which impressed Shen Yulou.

"You guessed right!"

"The International Monetary Fund has called on Belencia to undertake large-scale economic reforms, including cutting government spending and opening up more market sectors."

Shen Yulou clapped his hands.

"That's bad for certain interest groups in Belencia."

Chi, the financial expert, curled his lip.

"I thought you were just a rich kid who only knew how to drive race cars and spend money, but I didn't expect you to be so smart!"

"Truly worthy of being the person I, Shen Yulou, have taken a liking to!"

Shen Meiren proudly puffed out his chest, and Chi Yuan chuckled as he rubbed his waist.

"I may be lazy, but I'm not stupid."

"Even if I'm an idiot, after so many years of being exposed to the ways of the family, I must know something, right?"

"So what are you planning to do now? How are you going to deal with your financial crisis?"

He leaned closer to continue his visit out of curiosity, and Chi Yuan reached out and held Shen Yulou's head, which was swaying from side to side, in place, their foreheads touching.

"Let's wait and see. It's about time that the financial tycoons and large corporations in Belencia will get involved themselves. There's no rush."

The couple finished their pizza while chatting. Shen Yulou was on the sofa, trying to hug Chi Yuan from both sides, but he just couldn't get comfortable.

Oh, Shen Meiren wants to hug her baby.

"What's wrong?"

Chi Yuan turned the pages of the book in his hand, soothing the somewhat agitated Shen Meiren in his arms.

"I miss An'an, I want to hug the baby."

"Then let's bring it over and raise it."

He really wanted to ask An An who her father was.

But... is it necessary?

The hand placed on Shen Yulou's back clenched and unclenched repeatedly.

Is it really necessary to overthink this much?

Whether they can make it to the end remains to be seen.

People blinded by love and desire naturally yearn to spend their youth together.

In the end, the heart of a loved one changes easily, and the dream of love is shattered.

"What are you thinking? I can sense it."

Shen Yulou turned his head, took the book from Chi Yuan's hand, closed it, and gently placed it on the table.

She placed her palm on Chi Yuan's chest, feeling his heartbeat. In a world where she could no longer hear her own heartbeat, Chi Yuan's heart was beating in her place.
