Maximize Interest, My Money Grows Infinitely-Chapter 165 - 156: The Dream that Stayed in Pudong_2

"Special?"

Wen Shulin propped her chin, playfully saying, "Let me guess then."

"Uh-huh."

"When you used to bully me, you called me Xia Yubing."

Wen Shulin turned her head toward Chen Cheng, "And you gave up Tan Palace and chose this place for our temporary farewell, isn’t it because you wanted to..."

Chen Cheng, observing the light in Wen Shulin’s eyes, interrupted, "Hey, stop! I won’t let you bully me."

Wen Shulin pressed down on Chen Cheng, her nails gliding across his face as she provocatively asked, "Really?"

Chen Cheng grabbed Wen Shulin’s hand, smiling, "Shulin, stop messing around."

But Wen Shulin refused to give up, coquettishly saying, "I will mess around, see what you can do about it."

Chen Cheng flipped over, pinning Wen Shulin beneath him, gazing deeply into her eyes.

A flush spread across Wen Shulin’s face, "Then tell me, will you miss me when I’m not in Beijing?"

Chen Cheng stroked her hair, "I will."

"You better not lie to me."

"I won’t lie to you, trust me," Chen Cheng answered.

Wen Shulin smiled contentedly, she leaned toward Chen Cheng’s mouth, but unexpectedly, he dodged.

"You little rascal!"

Chen Cheng stood up, "Look at you, always so impatient. Can’t you change that temper a bit?"

Wen Shulin was both annoyed yet amused.

"Today I am fully dressed up! You asked me to come to the hotel, didn’t take me to the restaurant, just brought me straight to the room, you made me anxious!"

Chen Cheng extended his hand, "Really, don’t rush. Have a drink first?"

Unexpectedly, Wen Shulin raised her slender leg, "Help me take off my shoes first."

Chen Cheng laughed, undoing the buckles, "Are you satisfied now?"

"That’s more like it."

"But you’ll have to wear them later."

Wen Shulin playfully punched Chen Cheng, then followed him to the balcony, barefoot.

Chen Cheng picked up the champagne, elegantly opened it, and poured a glass for each.

"To my Shulin," Chen Cheng raised his glass.

"To my one and only you," replied Wen Shulin.

They looked at each other and smiled, clinking glasses gently, and took a sip.

The breeze from the river gently caressed the beauty’s cheeks.

At this moment of parting, there was no sadness between them, only a deeper cherishing of these precious moments.

"Husband, these three days have been the happiest time of my half life thus far."

Wen Shulin put down her glass, flipping her hair, "You’ve given me a different life experience and made me feel happiness like never before."

"Shulin, this is just the beginning, there are more beautiful moments waiting for us."

Wen Shulin leaned on Chen Cheng’s shoulder, "Yes, I believe. But you have to go back tomorrow, I really can’t bear to see you leave."

"I can’t bear to leave you either."

Wen Shulin rubbed Chen Cheng’s fingers, "Once I finish up here, I’ll come back right away."

Chen Cheng held Wen Shulin’s hand tightly, comforting her, "I’ll wait for you."

"Husband, do you think we will always be as happy as we are now in the future?"

"We will, and even happier than now."

Wen Shulin nestled in Chen Cheng’s arms, "Then promise me, no matter what difficulties we face, never give up on our love."

Chen Cheng whispered in her ear, "I promise you, I never will."

Time seemed to stand still at that moment, the two just quietly embraced on the balcony, enjoying this brief peace and warmth.

After a long while, Wen Shulin turned around, looking at Chen Cheng, "It’s getting late, let’s go inside."

Chen Cheng glanced at his Daytona on his wrist, "There’s no rush."

"Huh? No rush? But you have to go back!"

Chen Cheng stood up, leading Wen Shulin to the edge of the balcony, pointing across the river at Pudong, "What a beautiful night view!"

Wen Shulin chuckled, "You aren’t thinking of doing it here..."

Before she could finish, her pupils dilated.

Across the Huangpu River, the screener of the Citibank Building turned into a message from Chen Cheng.

The familiar words instantly captured Wen Shulin’s attention.

"I understand your happiness at this moment."

Surprised, she covered her mouth, her eyes shimmering with tears, looking at Chen Cheng, "Did you arrange this?"

Chen Cheng smiled and nodded, "This is my promise to you."

Wen Shulin melted into Chen Cheng’s embrace, "You always surprise me."

"Because I’m your man, after all!"

Wen Shulin coquettishly retorted, "Who’s as domineering as you! If you keep pampering me like this, I won’t even look like Chairman Wen anymore!"

"Hahaha... I just love seeing your girly side."

"Stop it!"

Chen Cheng’s smile faded as he spoke solemnly, "Shulin, this is the dream I’m leaving for you in Pudong. I hope it can accompany you to sleep in the coming days."

Wen Shulin shook her head continuously, tiptoed, and hooked her hands around Chen Cheng’s neck:

"Only you can accompany me to sleep."

Saying this, her hot red lips pressed tightly against his.

Amidst the colorful neon lights of the Magic City, the hearts of Chen Cheng and Wen Shulin grew closer at this moment.

The next day, there were still 5 hours before Chen Cheng left Shanghai. freewebnσvel.cѳm

"What should I buy?" Chen Cheng wondered.

Wen Shulin frowned and asked, "Xiao Er, what does she like?"

"She never mentions these things," Chen Cheng replied.

"Then maybe..." Wen Shulin eyed the watch on Chen Cheng’s wrist and pointed, "How about buying another one?"

"When I was buying your watch, I saw a rose gold one, it’s perfect for Xiao Er."

Chen Cheng raised his hand to look at his Daytona, "That sounds good."

"Let’s go," Wen Shulin shrugged, "After we buy the watch, it’s time to take you to the airport. Pudong Airport is such a hassle."

They came out of the hotel and turned into the Daytona counter.

Wen Shulin pointed out, "Husband, that’s the one."

Chen Cheng looked at it; the style was the same as the one on his wrist, except the three small dials inside looked like three black eyes, making the generally neutral Daytona look more lively.

The rose gold wasn’t as glaring as 18k gold; it had a soft and gentle texture.

"Let’s go with this one."

The saleswoman smiled brightly, "Sir, you have good taste! This model m116505-0016 is very popular and especially suits your wife."

The two exchanged knowing looks.

Wen Shulin added, "Pack it nicely."

Chen Cheng took out his credit card, "Swipe it."

With the ticking sound of the POS machine, Chen Cheng’s panel also refreshed.

[Current funds: 48,124,099 yuan]

[Daily Interest Rate: 6.91%]

[Expenditure: 630,120/1,000,000]

[Tool Needed: 30,000,000 for Unlock]

Soon, the watch was wrapped up, and Chen Cheng and Wen Shulin left the counter and headed straight for the airport.

Along the way, they held each other’s hands.

Arriving at the airport, after changing the boarding pass, Wen Shulin’s eyes filled with reluctance: "Husband, remember to call me when you get there."

Chen Cheng nodded, "Don’t worry about me, take care of yourself."

"I am worried!"

Chen Cheng kissed her forehead, "Be good, I’ll be waiting for you in Beijing."

Wen Shulin’s eyes reddened, "Okay."

Chen Cheng released his embrace, picked up his luggage, and slowly turned toward the security checkpoint.

Wen Shulin stood still, watching his back until he disappeared into the crowd.

She took a deep breath, slowly turned around, and took out her phone, thinking of sending something to Chen Cheng.

But reason told her that a message saying "I miss you" wouldn’t make him stay.

Wen Shulin sighed, put away her phone, and strode out of the terminal.

Returning to the palace-like mansion, her mind was filled with the memories of the past three days spent there.

A smile of happiness unconsciously appeared on Wen Shulin’s face, but thinking of his departure, a wave of sadness surged in her heart.

She sat on the sofa, body slightly curled up as if seeking some support.

Her gaze was hollow, staring ahead without focus, her thoughts drifting to distant Beijing, flying to Chen Cheng’s side.

Several strands of hair fell over her forehead; she had no desire to tidy them, letting them hang messily.

In the vast mansion, Wen Shulin’s heart found no rest.

"What’s wrong with me..."

Ding!

Her phone on the table rang.

She quickly picked it up, her face’s melancholy instantly turned into a smile.

"Shulin, shall we go to Disney next time?"

Her trembling hand, ceaselessly tapping.

Wen Shulin had so much to say, but ultimately, it all condensed into one sentence: "Husband, I’ll listen to you."

(I’m still not well, and keep having fevers, just one Chapter for now. Sorry.)
