Super Rich by Doing as You Please

’I’m not trying to ruin your fun on purpose. There’s important business at home!’

The phone rang for a while before Xu Yun finally answered.

"Hello, Sister Su? It’s so late. Aren’t you asleep yet?"

"Stop fooling around and come back."

Su Mu said bluntly, "We have a visitor at home. They’re looking for you."

"Looking for me? Who is it?"

"The private housekeeper you poached from the Shanghai Stock Exchange!"

Su Mu said irritably, "She came all this way to work for you, and what do you do? You ignore her messages. She probably thinks she’s been scammed."

"Er, I forgot to check my phone."

Xu Yun laughed awkwardly. "Can you keep her company for me? I’ll be back in a bit."

"I know. She’s at my place right now."

After hanging up, Su Mu waited at home for Xu Yun to return.

Li Jinshu was making small talk with the other woman about the duties of a hotel butler, mostly to satisfy her own curiosity.

Suddenly, she received a text from Liang Yan.

She was a little surprised.

’Isn’t he with that female trainer tonight?’

Even the usually good-tempered Su Mu was starting to get angry at the provocative message.

Unwilling to be outdone, she fired back a reply.

"President Liang, I guess your charms aren’t working. He can’t even bear to get out of my bed, and he’s not tired at all."

"Susu, who are you chatting with so late?" Li Jinshu asked curiously from the side.

Su Mu locked her screen and smiled. "It’s nothing. Just a classmate."

"Speaking of which, why isn’t Xu Yun back yet?"

Li Jinshu grumbled, "Don’t tell me he got lost."

"He should be here soon. Let’s just wait a bit longer."

Yu Xuan also chimed in, "I’m not in a hurry."

’You might not be in a hurry, but I am!’

Li Jinshu couldn’t stand the thought of Xu Yun spending even a moment with another woman.

Even though she couldn’t change the situation and didn’t dare show it in front of Xu Yun, she was still unhappy about it.

Half an hour later, the doorbell rang.

Li Jinshu ran to open the door. It was Xu Yun.

Seeing him, Yu Xuan immediately stood up and called out, "Mr. Xu."

Xu Yun walked into the room, looked at Yu Xuan, and asked, "Is your business all taken care of?"

"Yes."

"Let’s go. Come back with me, and I’ll arrange a place for you to stay."

"Wait, Xu Yun, what do you mean?"

Li Jinshu asked in surprise, "She’s not going to live with you, is she?"

"She is. Is there a problem?"

"Men and women should keep their distance. A single man and a single woman... wouldn’t that be a bit inappropriate..."

Li Jinshu said, her voice lacking confidence, "Even if you don’t care, Yu Xuan is still a young woman. She’ll have to find a boyfriend someday. You should be mindful of her reputation."

"It’s fine, I don’t mind," Yu Xuan said.

Xu Yun knew what Li Jinshu was getting at. He chuckled, "See? She doesn’t mind, so what are you getting worked up about?"

"I..."

"I think Jinshu has a point."

This time, Su Mu chimed in as well. "Xu Yun, how about this? Let her stay here with me. I have a spare bedroom, anyway."

Xu Yun looked at the expressions on both their faces.

’Have they secretly formed an alliance? Ready to present a united front?’

However, Xu Yun didn’t have any particular designs on Yu Xuan, so whether she lived with him or not didn’t really matter.

He only wanted her to live with him for the sake of convenience.

After all, she was his private housekeeper. Of course it would be better for her to be as close as possible, on call 24/7.

"Since you’re offering, I won’t be polite."

Xu Yun said with a teasing smile, "But let’s get this straight, I’m not paying you rent."

"As if I’d care about your measly rent money."

"Fine."

Xu Yun said to Yu Xuan, "From now on, you’ll live here with them. I’ll call you when I need something. Otherwise, you’re free to do as you please."

"Understood, Mr. Xu."

After settling things, Xu Yun turned to Su Mu and Li Jinshu. "Well, I’m heading back to get some rest. I’m a little tired."

"I’ll go with you, to your place."

Su Mu stood up and said, "I actually have something I need to talk to you about."

Li Jinshu asked curiously, "What is it? Can’t you talk about it here?"

"I’m going to discuss a company investment with him."

Su Mu said to Li Jinshu, "I’ll head over for a bit. You take care of Yu Xuan, show her to her bedroom, and help her get settled."

"Oh."

To Li Jinshu’s envy, Su Mu and Xu Yun opened the door and left.

As soon as they were inside, Xu Yun asked curiously, "Sister Su, what’s this about an investment?"

"What do you think?"

Su Mu looked at Xu Yun with a hint of reproach. "Are you tired right now?"

"A little."

"Then I’ll make you even more tired!"

With that, she kissed him directly, not caring whether he was willing or not.

Xu Yun: "..."

To prevent someone from walking in on them, he locked the door behind him before joining the "battle."

It was very intense.

’What’s going on? Could she have been drugged tonight, too?’

’So aggressive!’

So as not to arouse Li Jinshu’s suspicions, their "war" was brief—a quick, decisive battle that lasted only half an hour.

Watching Su Mu clean herself up, Xu Yun chuckled. "You’re not yourself today!"

"How am I not myself?"

"You’ve never been this proactive before."

As he helped her put on her underwear, Xu Yun asked tentatively, "What set you off today?"

"What, are you the only one who’s allowed to come over and sleep with me? Can’t I come over and sleep with you?"

"Of course you can."

Xu Yun replied, "It’s just that your behavior today is very unusual. To deliberately find an excuse to come over and do this with me, right in front of Li Jinshu... it feels like you’re venting, or getting some kind of revenge."

"No reason. I just suddenly got in the mood."

Su Mu, now dressed, swatted away Xu Yun’s still-roaming hands and said, flustered and annoyed, "Alright, I should go back. Otherwise, Jinshu will get suspicious."
