Everyday Romance After Becoming a Billionaire

"We’re on vacation and we still have to have meetings? Even team-building exercises aren’t this intense."

"Aina, you seem to have a problem with this?"

"No problem at all. I’ll shut up. Teacher Su, you may begin your sermon."

Aina’s head was throbbing. She lowered her voice and whispered to Liu Jinyu beside her, "Why is your man either lecturing or holding meetings all day? Doesn’t he know it’s useless to reason with a woman?"

Liu Jinyu, listless, said, "Don’t talk to me. I’m annoyed."

Aina looked at Liu Jinyu, who resembled a bitter housewife, and asked, "What’s wrong with you?"

"Sigh..." The more Liu Jinyu thought about it, the more annoyed she became. Distracted, she said, "It’s nothing, I’m just annoyed. Sigh... Let’s not talk for now. Let’s listen to his lecture, and we can talk later."

The three girls sat in a row, nibbling on fruit and nodding along. Their responses were all: "We get it," "We’ll remember," "It won’t happen again," "If we do it again, Teacher Su can spank us..."

’In reality, the more we listen, the sleepier we get. This guy of ours is so annoying, with so many lectures.’

’Imagine being married to him. If you argue with him, he’ll just lecture you. And if you don’t listen to his lecture, he won’t let you use his credit card.’

’Isn’t that infuriating?’

’Alright, I guess we’ll listen to this guy hold the first-ever "family meeting."’

Pfft—

At this thought, Aina let out a snort of laughter. ’Oops, I’m going to get punished by "Teacher Su" now.’

"Aina, for mocking the meeting, you’re fined 100 yuan. Send it to the group chat later. It’ll go toward our travel fund."

"Why so much? We’re all poor students, not rich like you. I’m not paying! I don’t have any money anyway, so do whatever you want."

The moment money was mentioned, the mood soured. Aina was having none of it.

Xie Yiren raised her hand. "I think the fine is a bit steep. We really don’t have any money. How about we change it to something other than a fine?"

Liu Jinyu nodded in agreement, and from the driver’s seat, Xiao Wanqing also concurred.

The four girls might look glamorous, but they were all broke.

How could their monthly allowance possibly cover their splurges on food, drinks, and cosmetics?

Add Su Ran’s system of fines to the mix, and by the end of the trip, the four of them might lose everything, down to their last pair of panties.

"Alright, no fines. We’ll change it to a punishment. Let’s hear it, what kind of punishment?" Su Ran put down his pen and leaned back on the sofa, wearing a very democratic expression as he listened to the opinions of his ’family’.

Aina thought for a moment and said, "How about... the loser has to wear a maid outfit and be the winner’s maid for a day, responsible for waking them up, giving massages, washing their feet, and so on."

Su Ran shook his head and chuckled. It was obvious they were digging a pit for him. He raised an objection, "Isn’t that a bit much?"

Seeing that Su Ran was scared, Aina pressed on, "The fine was what was too much. I think this is great. What do you guys think?"

Liu Jinyu and the others thought the image of a big guy like Su Ran in a maid outfit would be pretty nice.

’It’s four of us against one Su Ran. Are we seriously afraid of losing to him?’

A four-woman gank squad hiding in the bushes, determined to ambush and obliterate "Finger Technique Fragrance."

Liu Jinyu said, "It’s not too much. We all think it’s appropriate."

"Fine. We’ll do it your way. No fines, just punishments. We’ll have a daily assessment. The person with the worst score will be the maid for the person with the best score for one day. This is the assessment agreement. I’ll read it out. If you have any objections, speak up."

Ahem...

"One: During our stays, put away your underwear and bras promptly. Don’t leave them lying around. Violators get ten points deducted."

As he spoke, Su Ran pulled a pink lace posture corrector from underneath him.

"Aina, this is yours."

"Also, this pair of panties drying on the hanger above my head belongs to Jinyu."

"And these gradient-colored stockings on the table are Wanqing’s."

"And on the large bed back there... I’m not sure if this belongs to Yiren."

Xie Yiren stated firmly, "Teacher Su, you’re wronging me! That’s a facial massager! I’m a very innocent girl. I don’t play with those weird ’auxiliary tools.’"

Su Ran: "Oh, if it’s a facial massager, you should still put it away. Otherwise, an ignorant guy like me might mistake it for something that doesn’t massage faces."

’If it doesn’t massage your face, then what else could it massage?’

PFFT—

The three girls awkwardly gathered their respective private items.

After a moment’s thought, something seemed fishy. ’Wait a minute, this isn’t right.’

"Hey, how can you tell whose is whose so clearly? You don’t have some kind of special fetish, do you?"

"Spit it out, have you been peeking at us?"

The three girls threatened him with mock ferocity.

"That’s ridiculous. As a model student and outstanding youth league cadre, how could I possibly have such a fetish? I... ahem... uh... deduced it."

"De...?"

"...duced?"

"Yes, deduced."

"Wanqing is a mature woman. Her Style is domineering, and she likes to wear gradient-colored stockings, right?"

Aina: "Okay, lucky guess. But these panties, how did you know they’re Jinyu’s?"

SMACK!

Xie Yiren: "Are you asking a stupid question? They’re a couple. Of course he knows his own girlfriend’s underwear."

"That... seems to make sense. Fine, let’s say you’re right about that. Then how do you explain this one?" Aina held up her posture corrector. "What? Can’t talk your way out of this one, can you? Heh, I knew you were just making things up."

"Sigh, you want to hear the truth?"

"Of course!"

"You can’t get mad, though."

"Don’t worry, I absolutely won’t get mad."

"Because the size of this posture corrector is so small, it could only be yours."

PFFT—

Aina was slain on the spot.

HAHAHA—

Her friends slapped the table, convulsed with laughter.

Aina wished she could find a hole to crawl into. ’A critical hit from a man is the most fatal of all.’

The next second.

WAAAH—

She burst into tears.

"Yiren, he said I’m small, WAAAAH."

"Well, you really set yourself up for that *bust*. Who’s to blame? Alright, alright, when we get to Chongqing, I’ll buy you some papaya to help you out. Maybe there’s still hope."

"Really?"

"More real than silicone."

He continued.

"Second: If you go out by yourself, you must report to the group to avoid any accidents, like what happened with Wang Changyue yesterday."

The four girls had no objection to this. They felt safer with Su Ran around. You could call it dependence.

"Third: Safety..."

"Fourth: Diet..."

"Fifth: Mood..."

"Sixth: Dress appropriately. No low-cut tops that show off your cleavage, and no miniskirts."

Tsk tsk tsk...

Aina clicked her tongue, glancing at Liu Jinyu’s currently modest attire. ’She really does have a man now, all covered up like that.’

"Su Ran, are you not only controlling what your girlfriend wears now, but also what her best friends wear?"

"It’s all for your own good."

Su Ran said earnestly, handing over a photo.

"This is a comparison chart for skirt lengths that I downloaded. Compare your own skirts to it."

The girls huddled together to look and sucked in a collective cold breath. ’Good grief, what kind of stubborn, chauvinistic guy came up with this? Isn’t he afraid of getting canceled?’

Floor-length dress: length to the ground—Boring.

Maxi dress: length to the ankle—Overly conservative.

Midi skirt: length to mid-calf—Old-fashioned.

Below-the-knee skirt: length to the bottom of the kneecap—Just right.

Liu Jinyu: "Yay~"

The other three girls: "..."

Above-the-knee skirt: length to the top of the kneecap—Seductive.

Xie Yiren: "Nice."

The other two girls: "..."

Mini skirt: length to mid-thigh—Shameless.

Xiao Wanqing: "Phew, that was close."

Aina: "..."

Micro skirt: length to the upper thigh—Tempting crime.

Aina: "Hiss... I was only off by one centimeter. How thrilling."

Butt-grazer skirt: length to the butt crack, legs almost completely bare—Make an offer.

"Actually..." Su Ran explained with righteous indignation, "We live in an era of freedom in dress. I don’t care how you dress at home, but when you’re outside, it’s better to be a bit more conservative."

Tch—

The group of friends looked at him with contempt.

’After all that talk, doesn’t it just mean that at home, he doesn’t care? We can wear whatever we want, as short as we want, or even nothing at all. It’s his god-given right to enjoy the view. But if we wear something a little short outside, we get punished.’

’Men. Such double standards.’

’Alright... seeing as he’s the Sponsor, the one with the money for this trip, he gets to make the rules.’

’However...’

They still had some objections.

Su Ran held up a hand. "Go ahead. If you have anything to add, just say it. I’m very fair."

Aina held up a finger. "First! You can’t wear revealing things at home either, and you definitely can’t walk around naked, like you did at the hot spring yesterday. That’s absolutely not allowed to happen again. After all... we’re girls, and you being like that... it’s not good."

’A walking pile of hormones swaying back and forth in front of us is hard for us to handle, too.’

Su Ran nodded. "OK."

Xie Yiren held up a finger. "Second! You have to lift the toilet seat before you pee. Otherwise, it’s very inconvenient for us to use the toilet."

Su Ran nodded. "OK, that was my fault before. I’ll be more careful in the future."

Liu Jinyu held up a finger. "Third! After you shower, you’re not allowed to just wrap a towel around your waist to go blow-dry your hair. You have to be fully dressed."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The three girls nodded frantically. This was their biggest complaint. What girl could stand that perfect body of his with its eight-pack abs and V-lines, flexing his biceps while blow-drying the hair on his handsome face?

Su Ran nodded. "OK, I’ll remember. I’ll wear clothes next time."

From the driver’s seat, Xiao Wanqing said, "And the last rule: stop flirting with us!"

Heh. Su Ran couldn’t agree to that.

"I can swear on my conscience that I have never flirted with any of you!"

"Tch—"

The four girls jeered in unison, looking at Su Ran with disdain.

’Last night in the hot spring, you flirted up a storm, and you still say you didn’t?’

Finally...

"Alright, since no one has any objections to the agreement, it will be in effect the moment we set foot in Chongqing. We’ll buy two maid outfits. Whoever ends up being the maid for someone else tonight, don’t try to back out."

"Whoever backs out is a puppy."

"Very good. This family meeting is now adjourned. We’ll see who wins in Chongqing. Meeting dismissed."
