Everyday Romance After Becoming a Billionaire

Aina chose a fantastic movie to play—*Horror Cruise*.

The pool water wasn’t cold, but the plot was perfectly fitting for the atmosphere, sending shivers down their spines. The girls all huddled together, one moment screaming in terror, the next clinging desperately to Su Ran.

"Aina, I really don’t get what the hell you’re doing playing this. Are you trying to torture us?"

"Aina, you little vixen! You know we’re on a yacht, and you still put on *Horror Cruise*. Do you have a death wish?"

"What’s there to be afraid of? We have Su Ran. Even if something happened, he’d sacrifice himself to save us, right?"

"..." Su Ran looked at Aina, who was sitting to his left and clinging tightly to his arm. "You’re thinking too much. I’d probably be the fastest one to run away."

The words had barely left his mouth when, to his right, Xie Yiren and Xiao Wanqing were scared by a terrifying scene in the movie. They let out a piercing "AHHH!" and started frantically pounding on Su Ran with both hands.

PFFT.

’They might not get scared to death by the horror movie,’ Su Ran thought, ’but I’m definitely going to be beaten to death by their "Seven Injuries Fist."’

"Nope, nope, I need to find something to counter the scary stuff." So, the next time a terrifying scene came on, Aina immediately played the "Makka Pakka" song from *In the Night Garden...* on her phone.

PFFT.

Su Ran nearly died laughing. When it came to being a goofball, Aina really took the cake.

"Oh my god, you’re killing me. I’ve never laughed this hard during a horror movie before. You’re such a little cutie." Su Ran freed his arm and pinched Aina’s exotic, Western-Regions-featured face. He started to climb out of the pool. "You guys keep watching. I’m going to the bathroom."

"Don’t you dare go!"

The four women immediately dragged Su Ran back down, forcing him into his seat.

"What is this, am I under house arrest now?" Su Ran asked. "Don’t I even have the right to use the bathroom?"

Aina said, "You can’t go. We’ll be scared if you leave."

Seeing how terrified they were, Su Ran relented. "Fine, fine, fine. I won’t go. I’ll just hold it."

Xiao Wanqing said considerately, "Holding it in all the time can cause prostate problems. You can’t hold it! Here," she said, holding out a wide-mouthed sports drink bottle. "Don’t say I never do anything for you. Just take care of it here."

PFFT.

Su Ran felt like he was coughing up blood for the umpteenth time. His face was starting to cramp from laughing so hard.

"Seriously? This again?"

Again?

Liu Jinyu and the others seemed to have picked up on something important. With a deadpan expression, she interrogated him, "Ranran, what do you mean, ’this again’? Have you and Wanqing shared this kind of... ’friendship’ before?"

Xiao Wanqing explained, "Didn’t I tell you guys already? Su Ran was drunk, and I let him stay the night. But then my dad came home unexpectedly, so I didn’t dare let him leave my bedroom. He needed to pee, so I found a mineral water bottle for him, but he said he couldn’t use it."

Liu Jinyu rested her chin on her hand and nodded. "Oh..."

The other girls: ???

"Ahem..." Liu Jinyu snapped back to her senses. ’Damn it, what am I even thinking about?’ "Ahem, so... you watched my Ranran...?"

"Of course not! How disgusting would that be? My back was turned to him."

Liu Jinyu channeled her inner Detective Conan. "Wait, your back was turned? I’ve been to your house. As far as I know, you have a huge, full-length mirror in your bedroom. If your back was turned to Su Ran, wouldn’t you have seen everything in the reflection?"

A sudden realization dawned on Su Ran. He thought back carefully. After he had finished, Xiao Wanqing’s face was bright red. ’Could it be...?’

"You bastards!" she roared, channeling her inner Queen Xiao. "I, Xiao Wanqing, am not the kind of shameless woman you’re making me out to be! I did not look! Do you think I’d even want to? Stop thinking I’m so despicable!"

There was no situation that couldn’t be controlled with a loud enough voice and a powerful enough aura.

Liu Jinyu instantly switched to a placating smile and linked her arm with Xiao Wanqing’s. "Oh, don’t be mad. I didn’t mean it like that. I was just teasing you."

"Teasing me! That’s an insult to my character, you know?" Xiao Wanqing’s domineering aura flared up instantly.

"Okay, okay, I won’t do it again."

"That’s more like it." After saying her piece, she looked at Su Ran. "Hey, what are you spacing out for?"

Su Ran tossed the empty bottle into a nearby trash can and shrugged. "It’s gone."

Eww...

The four women shrieked, scrambling away from him and climbing out of the pool. "You’re so disgusting! You peed in the pool! I need to go rinse off."

PFFT—

Su Ran was down for the count once again.

"I didn’t do it! I just suddenly didn’t have to go anymore! Hey, hey, don’t leave! You have to believe me! Why would I pee in the pool? Hey! What have I done to deserve this?!"

Furious, Su Ran slammed a fist into the surface of the water.

"Damn it!"

...

「Time continued to slip away, and soon it was 11:00 PM.」

The DING, DING, DING sounds continued unabated. By now, Su Ran had already earned over 30 million.

By this point, everyone was tired out from all the fun and went back to their respective rooms to rest.

The *Riva* had five bedrooms, which was more than enough for the five of them. But naturally, Liu Jinyu would be sleeping in Su Ran’s room. After all, they had a "friendly match" scheduled for the evening.

Su Ran was in the master bedroom, which had a king-sized bed. He was lying on it in a pair of baggy shorts, scrolling through his phone.

Liu Jinyu finished her shower and came out wrapped in a bath towel.

Finally, they could be alone without any interruptions.

The lights went out, plunging the room into darkness. Only the faint moonlight reflecting off the sparkling sea surface allowed them to make out each other’s silhouettes. "Don’t start yet, I have something to ask you..." Liu Jinyu pressed Su Ran’s hand to her lower abdomen. "Have you ever thought about the future? For me, and for the other three?"

"What about the future, specifically?"

"Well..." Liu Jinyu hesitated for a moment before deciding to be direct. "You’re very popular with girls. I can tell that Wanqing and the others all really like you. If this keeps up... what if one day... they all end up... sleeping with you? I mean, besides Yiren, you’ve already taken both Wanqing’s and Aina’s first kisses."

Liu Jinyu couldn’t help but finally ask the question. Some things just needed the two of them to calm down and talk about openly. And right now, Liu Jinyu was laying her heart bare.

After all, where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
