Super Rich by Doing as You Please

"Really?" Su Mu asked. "You weren’t fooling around with a female instructor?"

"Really!"

Xu Yun swore, "If I was fooling around with a female instructor last night, may I be struck by lightning!"

"Alright, alright, stop making such oaths. It’s not like I mind, I was just asking."

Su Mu laughed. "Be careful making so many promises. One day, you really might get struck by lightning!"

"..." Xu Yun.

With no one else around, he wrapped an arm around Su Mu, and they gazed at the distant lake, enjoying a rare moment of peace.

Su Mu leaned on his shoulder and asked leisurely, "Xu Yun, if one day, after one of these blind dates, I actually decided I wanted to get married, what would you do?"

"Simple. I’d wish you well."

Xu Yun chuckled nonchalantly. "Then I’d just find another woman to like. I’d find someone prettier than you, with a better figure, and a nobler air."

"Pfft, you scumbag!"

Feigning anger, Su Mu reached out and pinched his waist. "You don’t even try to hide it, do you?"

"Ouch!"

Xu Yun turned his head and threatened, "If you pinch my waist again, I’m going to pinch your cherries."

"..." Su Mu.

Xu Yun asked in return, "Then let me ask you: if one day I started seeing other women at the same time, what would you do? Stay, or leave?"

"As long as you don’t get married, I won’t feel guilty."

"What if I never get married?"

"If you really can go your whole life without getting married..."

Su Mu couldn’t help but laugh. "Then I’ll stay with you for life and gladly be your lover."

"You’ve got a deal!"

...

That evening, the sun set in the west, painting the horizon with a beautiful, fiery afterglow.

The hotel’s banquet began.

Xu Yun and Su Mu appeared at the venue together. Song Xiaowei and Yu Xuan were elsewhere, not wanting to be third wheels.

Yan Can, with his date, spotted Xu Yun in the crowd.

He walked straight over, then glanced at Su Mu by his side.

’Well, I’ll be damned. He’s already switched to an even prettier woman!’

He was starting to feel a little admiration for Xu Yun.

’Looks like this guy isn’t just a master at business, he’s got some serious skills with women, too.’

Filled with curiosity, he pulled Xu Yun aside, wanting to learn some secrets for picking up girls.

When it came to gold diggers, he didn’t need any lessons—he just had to spend money.

But when it came to wooing heiresses from families on his own level, money wasn’t so effective.

There was a woman he liked and had been pursuing for a long time, but she wouldn’t even give him the time of day.

It was a great source of frustration for him.

While Xu Yun was being pestered by Yan Can, Qiao Yuanshan spotted Su Mu standing alone and immediately walked over.

"Miss Su, you went out with your friends this afternoon. Did you have a good time?"

Qiao Yuanshan smiled. "Before the banquet started, I called you, but you didn’t pick up. I thought something had happened to you. You had me worried for a while."

"I’m sorry, my phone was probably on silent, so I didn’t hear it."

Su Mu offered a polite smile. "I’m with my friend, so it’s fine. You don’t need to worry about me."

"I brought you here, so I’m responsible for your safety. How could I not worry about you?"

Qiao Yuanshan suddenly put on a troubled expression. "Oh, right, about the room situation...

"I came back this afternoon and have been trying to work something out with the hotel, but there really are no extra rooms available. So... I’m afraid you’ll have to put up with sharing a room with me tonight."

"That’s alright."

Su Mu smiled. "I’ve already sorted out my living arrangements. I moved in with my friend."

"Huh?"

Seeing his plan fall through, Qiao Yuanshan said, "My suite has a spare bedroom anyway, so there’s no need for you to bother your friend.

"I saw them this afternoon—they’re a couple. They probably don’t want to be disturbed."

Seeing the situation, Xu Yun excused himself from Yan Can and walked over.

"It’s no bother."

Right in front of the other man, he wrapped an arm around Su Mu’s slender waist and said with a smile, "Besides, she’s sleeping in the same bed as me tonight."
