System: Master Your Life-Chapter 539 - 130: Another Side of Shang Wanjun

After dinner, Xu Lin and Shang Wanjun left the restaurant.

They wandered around nearby for a while.

After nine at night, Xu Lin drove Shang Wanjun home.

However, Shang Wanjun was not staying at the staff dormitory tonight, she was staying outside.

She had rented a small apartment outside.

Around ten o’clock, Xu Lin drove into the complex.

It was just an ordinary complex; Shang Wanjun’s financial condition was okay, so it was just an ordinary complex.

"How much does it cost to rent a place here per month?"

Xu Lin glanced at the complex, thinking the environment was quite nice.

"Two thousand!"

"Oh."

Xu Lin parked at the electric vehicle parking lot and took the opportunity to scan the code for charging.

Then Shang Wanjun led him into one of the apartment buildings.

There were three apartment buildings here, the rest were residential buildings. The apartment area and the residential complex were separated, but they were close together, just separated by the property gate and a row of iron railings.

They entered the elevator, and just as the door was closing, a man hurriedly stepped in, appearing to be an office worker just off work.

The man seemed like he wanted to greet Shang Wanjun but noticed the guy next to her, and suddenly hesitated.

Shang Wanjun took Xu Lin’s hand at this moment, signaling their close relationship.

Soon, they reached the 13th floor.

Apparently, the man was also on this floor.

After leaving the elevator, Xu Lin put his arm around Shang Wanjun’s shoulder.

Xu Lin understood; this guy wanted to pursue Shang Wanjun.

In this society, women with a bit of beauty never lack suitors, let alone great beauties. Although ordinary men usually dare not chase great beauties, there will always be dreamers. Otherwise, why would there be the saying "the human heart is insatiable like a snake swallowing an elephant?"

Soon, they entered the apartment.

"How long has that guy been watching you?"

"He greeted me after just two days since I came here. I haven’t responded to him."

"Don’t open the door randomly if someone knocks, and install a camera at the entrance."

"The doorbell has a camera."

"Hmm, just be cautious. Single, beautiful women face trouble, like ordering food delivery; have them leave it at the door and pick it up a few minutes later."

"That’s how I always do it."

Shang Wanjun said, "My mom had an elder calculate my fortune, saying my fate is bad, that I’m likely to meet unworthy people. She advised me to find a good man to rely on and marry early."

"Do you believe it?"

"I don’t believe in that stuff, but since college, I’ve had many people, from school to society, pursuing me, including quite a few outrageous ones."

Shang Wanjun: "I’m very careful; I don’t want to make friends or get too close to anyone. In college, when a roommate wanted to take me drinking, I didn’t go because I saw messages on her phone, saying they’d get me drunk so I’d meet a rich older guy. This man earlier wanted to keep me, offering fifty thousand a month, saying I could buy anything, and he’d gift me a car worth around a million, just to be with him. I didn’t agree and broke off friendship with the roommate. I’m quite pessimistic about friends."

"Indeed, you need to be careful."

Xu Lin didn’t offer any grand philosophy; nowadays, a portion of young, pretty girls are kept as mistresses, with low-level ones getting around one or two thousand a month. However, everything has a value scale, cheap ones exist alongside expensive ones, with high-quality beauties earning hundreds of thousands to millions a year or more. If they have excellent genes, fulfilling conditions of appearance and body and also possessing great intellect, they’re eligible to bear children for big shots, with the potential to earn even more.

Shang Wanjun isn’t exaggerating; being too beautiful invites many temptations, so few can resist. Money can be both an angel and a demon; resisting temptation means either not lacking money or being spiritually rich.

"Xu Lin, here’s some water."

Shang Wanjun poured a cup of warm water from the water dispenser.

Xu Lin sat on the sofa at this moment.

"Okay."

"My mom doesn’t know I live here. I want independent space; she has often visited the staff dormitory, she’s quite nagging."

"Staying with parents, it’s easy to be nagged. I rarely live with my parents," Xu Lin agreed.

While drinking water, Xu Lin also checked out Shang Wanjun’s rental.

This rental was a duplex; of course, not as well-furnished as the place Xu Lin lived. The decor was just ordinary, but still something.

The area was small, less than twenty-five square meters.

Seeing Xu Lin looking down at the tiles, Shang Wanjun said, "The first floor is tiles, the second is wooden flooring."

"Oh."

Xu Lin nodded.

"Wanna go up and have a look?"

"Sure."

Shang Wanjun then led Xu Lin upstairs.

The second floor was where Shang Wanjun slept and worked, filled with her fragrance and atmosphere, a refreshing scent.

The second floor had only one room; outside is the living room and work area. The room was small, just fitting a bed, with little space to move around; hence, the work area was outside.

Xu Lin felt the design here was lacking, with too many cabinets. The walls outside the room were lined with cabinets, even a row above the desk; no matter how many clothes and things a woman could have, it shouldn’t require so many cabinets? It’s simply wasting space.

Being a duplex, the second floor’s height wasn’t much, only about two meters and twenty. Xu Lin was now one meter eighty-eight, wearing slippers making it one meter ninety; this ceiling height seemed quite oppressive for someone as tall as Xu Lin.
