Super Rich by Doing as You Please-Chapter 96 - 90: Even a Body of Iron Can’t Take It Anymore
"Don’t."
Su Mu advised, "You’re different from us. If we fail, what will you do then?
Start looking for a job all over again? You’ve worked so hard to get established at your company."
"I know."
After washing the dishes, the two of them came to the living room. Seeing Xu Yun watching TV, they joined him.
One on his left and one on his right, they sandwiched him in the middle.
Xu Yun couldn’t help but joke, "With you two like this, I feel like we’re a family of three."
"Then who’s the mother and who’s the daughter?"
"Can’t you both be my wives?"
"In your dreams."
Li Jinshu smiled. "Between me and Susu, you’d be lucky to have just one of us. And you’re greedy enough to want both."
"That’s right," Su Mu also said with a laugh. "You’re eating what’s in your bowl while eyeing what’s in the pot. Be careful you don’t burst."
"Well, it’s almost bedtime. A man can dream, can’t he?"
Xu Yun stood up and sighed. "Another long night, and I have to sleep alone again. Well, I’m off. Going home."
"Take care. We won’t see you out."
After Xu Yun left, Su Mu and Li Jinshu watched TV for a little while longer, but both found it boring.
Su Mu yawned and said, "I’m heading to bed. You can keep watching."
"I’m going to bed too. I have work tomorrow."
So, after they both showered, they turned off the lights and went back to their respective rooms.
But neither of them slept. They lay in bed and pulled out their phones.
[Li Jinshu: Don’t lock your bedroom door later. I’ll come over and keep you company.]
[Su Mu: If you can’t sleep, you can wait for Jinshu to fall asleep and come to my room in the middle of the night. My apartment code is ****]
When Xu Yun came out of the shower, he saw the two messages on his phone, and his expression was like this:
(⊙o⊙)...
And then, it was like this:
(〃’▽’〃)
’Good thing one is coming to my place and the other wants me to go next door. They’re separated.’
’I can handle them one at a time. It’ll just be a little tiring.’
’But it’s worth it.’
’Otherwise, if both of them wanted me to go next door, or if both of them came here, it would’ve been a real mess.’
’We can’t all just sleep together under one big blanket, can we?’
He wouldn’t mind, but the other two definitely would.
Xu Yun put down his phone, first practicing a set of the Eight Pieces of Brocade in the living room. Only then did he return to his bedroom, turn off the lights, and quietly wait for someone’s arrival.
Sure enough, just before 11 PM, he heard the quiet beeps of someone entering the code for his apartment.
A moment later, Li Jinshu, wearing the same clothes as before, tiptoed in.
The apartment was pitch-black. Just as she entered, using the light from her phone screen, before she could even call out Xu Yun’s name, she was suddenly pulled into a strong embrace from behind.
He wasn’t wearing anything.
"Ah~"
Li Jinshu cried out in surprise, so startled that she dropped her phone on the floor.
"Don’t scream, it’s me."
Recognizing Xu Yun’s voice, Li Jinshu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then said with a mix of bashfulness and anger, "You nearly scared me to death."
"What took you so long?"
"I had to wait for Susu to fall asleep before I could sneak over."
"Hehe, then let’s make the most of our time."
And so, two shadows in the dark began to move all around the room without any rhyme or reason, seeming to be everywhere at once.
Sometimes on the bed, sometimes by the window, sometimes on the floor...
Finally, all fell silent.
Xu Yun looked at the person who had been thoroughly worn out by him and was now fast asleep, and called out to her softly.
Seeing no reaction, he quietly got up, threw on some clothes, and went out the door.
He had another appointment to keep.
’It’s not easy being me.’
Sighing to himself, Xu Yun went next door under the moonlight, entered the code, and played the part of Li Jinshu for a change.
He snuck into Su Mu’s apartment.
After texting Xu Yun that evening and getting no reply, Su Mu had waited in bed for a long time. Thinking he wasn’t coming, she had unknowingly drifted off to sleep. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
But just as she was in a hazy state of sleep, she suddenly felt as if she were experiencing sleep paralysis.
She was about to struggle, but she grew still when she smelled Xu Yun’s scent.
Xu Yun whispered, "Sister Su, it’s..."
"Don’t talk. Kiss me!" In the darkness, Su Mu whispered, cutting him off, and then turned the tables on him.
(...Three thousand words omitted here...)
The next day at dawn, Xu Yun had just left the apartment next door and returned to his own when he heard Li Jinshu, who had just woken up, calling his name.
"I’m here," he quickly answered, walking into the bedroom.
’That was close. I almost got caught.’
Li Jinshu was on the bed, her clothes in disarray, and she looked at him, asking, "Where did you just go?"
"I woke up thirsty, so I went to the living room to get a drink of water."
Xu Yun asked, "Why are you up so early? It’s only a little after five."
"Duh. I have to get back before Susu wakes up, of course."
Li Jinshu shot him a glare, got up, and quickly got dressed. As she got out of bed, she said, "I only came because I felt sorry for you. I’m not coming next time. I can’t even get a good night’s sleep."
"..." Xu Yun.
’You at least got a few hours of sleep. I’ve been up all damn night!’
’The first half of the night with you, the second half with your best friend!’
After Li Jinshu snuck back, Xu Yun collapsed onto his own bed and fell fast asleep.
Even a body of steel couldn’t quite take it anymore.
If it weren’t for the Eight Pieces of Brocade given by the System keeping him going, he’d probably have ended up in the hospital on a "Nutrition Express" IV drip.
After Li Jinshu quietly snuck back, she even managed to get in a bit more sleep before finally getting up.
When she opened her eyes again, it was already past 8 AM, and she was almost late for work.
But what she found strange was that Su Mu, who never slept in and was always an early riser, still hadn’t gotten up yet today.
But she didn’t have time to worry about it. After quickly washing up, she grabbed Su Mu’s car keys and rushed out the door to work.
When she saw Xu Yun’s new car in the garage, she couldn’t help but say with a tinge of regret, "I didn’t even get to be the first one to ride in this car. Su Mu beat me to it."
....
Today, Ning Qian went to the store and handed her resignation to the manager. She was quitting.
Her colleagues all understood why she was so confident.
It came from Xu Yun.
Although the salary for their job wasn’t too low for an ordinary person, for Ning Qian, who was now with Xu Yun, it was no longer necessary.
Because Xu Yun had casually given her a 200,000 yuan spending card, which was equivalent to their annual salary.
And then there was Wang Shengmei. Although she was carrying a new Louis Vuitton bag, she had been so stressed these past few days that her mouth had broken out in sores.
So, while most people congratulated Ning Qian on her luck, they also advised her not to get love-drunk.
After all, she should get as much as she could while Xu Yun was still fond of her.
But only Ning Qian knew in her heart that the more contact she had with Xu Yun, the more astonished she was by his financial power.
Because compared to your typical rich second-generation heir, he had a lot of disposable cash on hand.
And he wasn’t using his family’s credit cards either; it was all money from his own private accounts.
Furthermore, from what she’d learned about Xu Yun through their interactions, she also understood one thing: he wasn’t the type to just fuck and forget.
The type to dump a girl after playing around with her.
At the very least, you could tell from the fact that he gave her a house to live in, gave her gold bars, and opened a company for her to work at.
Even if he really did abandon her in the future, with a monthly salary of 30,000, she could still live very well.
After resigning, she walked out and received a call from Chen Peng, a friend from her hometown.
"Ning Qian, are you busy?"
"Not busy."
"I’ve settled things with the homeowner about the house."
Chen Peng said happily, "He’s willing to sell it to Mr. Xu for 7.5 million. Can you let Mr. Xu know? If he has time, we can sign the contract this morning."
"Okay, I’ll call him now and ask."
After hanging up, Ning Qian immediately called Xu Yun, wanting to share the good news with him.
But the call went straight to a "switched off" message.
She tried several more times with the same result. Unable to reach him, she started to worry.
But she didn’t know any of Xu Yun’s friends, nor did she have any other numbers for him or know where he lived.
When her friend Chen Peng heard, he said with some concern, "He’s not a scammer, is he? The car is rented, the house-buying is a sham, and he’s just going to run off after scamming you.
"I was watching this TV show recently, *The Double*. The main character in it is just like that. He pretends to be all these different people, scams several women at the same time, and then just disappears."
"Xu Yun isn’t that kind of person," Ning Qian said, shaking her head in denial.
Because from start to finish, Xu Yun had never scammed any money from her at all. On the contrary, he was always giving her things.
"Let’s wait a bit longer. Maybe his phone just died."
