Everyday Romance After Becoming a Billionaire

Aina was playful, cute, and the most vivacious of them all. With her around, the group’s vibe was always great.

She was a classic "silly big girl"—straightforward and without a scheming bone in her body.

’I couldn’t possibly play favorites. It’s like choosing between the palm and the back of your hand—both are a part of you. It’s just that some parts are fleshier than others.’

The sixth draft became the final version. Aina was firmly in the center position, her ample chest putting the others to shame.

The artistry was exquisite. The entire *Four Young Actresses Bathing Painting* seemed to leap off the paper.

The four girls gathered around to examine it. It wasn’t photorealistic but focused on capturing their essence, very much in the style of ancient painting schools.

Of course. Tang Bohu was most famous for painting women, and Su Ran, having inherited that skill perfectly, naturally won the four girls’ admiration and praise.

Whether he was a casanova was up for debate, but the man was undeniably talented.

Su Ran rolled up the scroll. "I’ll find a tube to store this for now. I’ll get it mounted sometime later..."

He paused, then continued, "I’ll mount it myself. When I buy a villa in a little while, I’ll put it in my private collection room. You can go see it whenever you want."

A painting like this naturally had to be mounted by him personally and kept in a private collection. Even though it showed no nudity, it wasn’t something for outsiders to see.

He mentioned buying a villa as casually as if he were talking about the weather.

The four girls grew slightly excited. It was a villa, after all.

"Ranran..." Liu Jinyu hesitated for a moment before asking, "You’re so amazing at painting... could you paint the *Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix*?"

"Uh..."

"I probably could."

Su Ran was being modest by adding ’probably.’

He possessed Tang Bohu’s painting Skill, after all. Whatever Tang Bohu could paint, he could paint just as well.

’Was I showing off?’ he thought. ’No, there’s no need.’

"Then you should have painted one earlier, to show all those people!"

"I’m not going to."

"Why not?"

"I only paint women."

"..."

Liu Jinyu bit her lip. She really wanted to kill that damn Ranran. ’I only paint women’—a line like that was incredibly suggestive.

"Let me ask you this, then. Will you paint other women in the future?"

"Of course."

"Who?"

"The mother of my child."

With that, Su Ran went to his room to put the painting away.

Tsk tsk tsk...

Aina piped up, "Can’t argue with that answer! Go for it, Jinyu! What if you succeed in a few years and get promoted to ’mother of his child’? You’ll be a super-rich woman then."

Xie Yiren added, "Su Ran seems like a pretty devoted guy. Jinyu, when you become a rich woman, you have to take good care of us, okay?"

Xiao Wanqing remained silent, resting her chin in her hand. ’The mother of his child?’ she mused.

’What if Su Ran has many children in the future?’

’What if...’

She glanced at Aina and Xie Yiren, who were "congratulating" Liu Jinyu.

’Eep, what am I even thinking?’

’It’s not that complicated.’

「A moment later.」

Su Ran returned to the backyard and sat with them by the pool, drinking and chatting as time slipped by. Before long, they were all drunk.

Su Ran felt they were getting more and more out of hand, treating his place like it was their own.

They drank without restraint and got drunk with abandon, completely unafraid that Su Ran might turn into some ’black-hearted fiend’ and have his way with all of them at once.

With practiced ease, he picked up the four "bikini-clad lambs to the slaughter" one by one.

"Don’t move," he threatened, "or I’m carrying all of you to my room."

The threat worked, and they settled down.

He put them in their bedrooms. ’Admiring beautiful women in bikinis isn’t a crime,’ he thought.

Last was Liu Jinyu...

She refused to let go, her arms still hooked around Su Ran’s neck. She had been deeply touched tonight, and with the alcohol going to her head, she looked full of desire.

Uh...

This one was different from the other three. They were his friends; she was his girlfriend.

If Su Ran were to take advantage of her drunken state, tease her a little... to put it frankly, he could take her first time right then and there.

To put it more dramatically, if he were to think bigger and do something that might land him in jail but be totally worth it—he could add the other three next door to the mix. A one-on-four, snatching the "red buff" from each of them, wiping them all out in one go, and scoring a legendary "quadra kill."

And turn them all into mothers of his children, damn it!

At that moment, Liu Jinyu looked up at Su Ran, her eyes hazy from the alcohol.

"Su Ran... do you... like all of them?"

"What?"

"The other three."

"No. Why would you ask that?"

"Oh."

Liu Jinyu was his girlfriend now. Seeing Su Ran getting along so well with her best friends, it was only natural for her to feel a pang of jealousy.

Since Su Ran said "no," she believed him.

It wasn’t that Liu Jinyu was some naive girl who believed everything he said. Rather, she understood his personality: he was straightforward. If he felt something, he’d admit it; if not, he wouldn’t. ’If I’m not a scumbag, I’m not. If I am, I’ll be one openly.’ He wasn’t the type to say one thing to your face and do another behind your back.

Young Master Su, open and aboveboard.

Besides, girls these days are sharp. They know perfectly well whether their boyfriend is cheating or messing around with other women behind their backs. It’s just a question of whether or not they decide to call him out on it.

She was nothing like the naive female leads in wish-fulfillment novels, who get played by the protagonist and have no idea how many other "female confidantes" he has. The type who "passes through a field of a thousand flowers, yet not a single petal clings to him"? Please.

As for Su Ran, he’d had physical thoughts about the other three, but that was just the normal reaction of any man seeing a stunning woman.

He’d never thought about making them his girlfriends; they were just good friends. Su Ran had never actively flirted with them.

But just because he hadn’t flirted didn’t mean *they* didn’t feel like he had. Stepping up for them tonight was the most charming, most captivating thing he could have done. Why else would three girls agree to let him paint them like that?

It seemed like nothing had happened, but the seeds had already been sown.

In truth...

Su Ran was, after all, only eighteen. He wasn’t that experienced with the world. In school, he’d been a model student, the kind the principal would give a thumbs-up to. He hadn’t really thought about getting into complicated relationships.

Well, actually... a handsome guy never lacks for female attention. And now that he was rich, he was in even less short supply.

At this stage, Su Ran just wanted to enjoy the comfortable life that came with being a Divine Rich.

As for dating Liu Jinyu... it was basically like dating all four of them.

The four of them were inseparable.

’Better not to think about it.’ The thought of four whiny, cutesy girls gave him a headache.

At this moment, Su Ran’s gaze fell on Liu Jinyu’s pink bikini.

It was both cute and sexy, with a bow on the back that could be untied.

The mature, sophisticated Liu Jinyu was definitely Su Ran’s type.

Liu Jinyu had originally wanted to wait for a perfect moment, a day with special meaning, for things to happen with Su Ran.

But man proposes, God disposes. The way Su Ran had stood up for them tonight gave her an immense sense of security. She was willing to give her most precious gift to a man like him.

She paused, then asked with newfound seriousness, "Ranran, do you really like me?"

"Why do you keep asking?"

"Just tell me," she whined, shaking his arm.

"Yes." Su Ran nodded, simply watching her as she fidgeted shyly.

"Then..."

Blushing, she tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear. Her voice, a soft whisper laced with shyness, finally uttered the words she found so hard to say.

"Then... can you stay and sleep with me tonight?"
