Everyday Romance After Becoming a Billionaire

Chapter 166: Chapter 112: Shan Weizi

Three stops flew by. Su Ran walked out of the station and called Shan Weizi. She picked up instantly. "Yeah... that’s right... I’m here. I’m at Entrance B right now. There’s a lot of damp, shaggy stuff around. Yeah, the place with all the damp, shaggy stuff. You know where that is?"

"Shaggy stuff? I don’t know what you’re talking about. Anyway, just stay at Entrance B. Wait for me, I’ll be right over."

After hanging up, Shan Weizi told Liu Buqun and the others to wait for her. The temperature in Lingzhou was much lower than in Jiangning. She pushed open the car door and stepped out, holding an umbrella. Dressed in a light cyan Hanfu with a pure white, fluffy coat layered on top, she headed toward Entrance B through the biting wind and snow. Passing travelers couldn’t help but stare at the beautiful, yet freezing, sight.

Some girls wear Hanfu as a hobby, but Shan Weizi treated it as her daily attire. Having been raised and educated in a family of scholars, she naturally exuded a classical aura. Combined with her inherent beauty, elegant demeanor, and deep knowledge of traditional culture, the look wasn’t the least bit jarring or ostentatious. Instead, it seemed more like an aesthetically pleasing way of life.

She, for one, saw nothing wrong with wearing her country’s traditional clothing out and about.

When she was about ten meters from Entrance B, Shan Weizi spotted Su Ran standing in front of several large statues of figures in ghillie suits from the game PUBG, shivering in the cold like a wet dog.

’Mr. Su’s constitution... sigh,’ she thought. ’This man just can’t take it.’

She kept the thought to herself. If she said it out loud, he’d surely get defensive and insist he was perfectly fine and could handle anything. ’Hmph. Men.’

"Su Ran~"

The melodic voice cut through the winter chill, reaching Su Ran’s ears. He turned toward the sound. Across the snow-dusted plaza stood a woman in a fluffy coat and traditional attire, holding an umbrella. The cold wind whipped at her lovely face as her luminous eyes watched him. She smiled and started walking toward him, her grip on the umbrella handle tightening for reasons she couldn’t explain.

She stopped, a single step away. After two months apart, they took each other in once more.

"You’re even more beautiful than before."

"You’ve gotten more handsome, too. So that’s the ’damp, shaggy stuff’ you were talking about." Shan Weizi extended a slender finger from her coat, pointing at the nearby ghillie suit statues. "If you’d just said ’the ghillie suit statues,’ I would’ve known. What was all that nonsense about ’damp, shaggy stuff’?" Her brow furrowed with a hint of reproach.

"I assumed you didn’t play PUBG, so you wouldn’t know what a ghillie suit was. That’s why I said ’damp, shaggy stuff.’ I thought it would be a clearer description."

"What do you mean, a clearer description for *me*? It was clearer for *you*, wasn’t it?"

Shan Weizi gave him a light punch. Seeing how cold he looked, she pulled a hand warmer from the folds of her Hanfu near her stomach and handed it to him. "Here, it’s still warm. Warm your hands before you freeze to death and end up blaming me."

"If you give this to me, won’t you be cold, Miss Shan?"

"I... ’Miss Shan’?"

A flicker of displeasure crossed Shan Weizi’s face.

’It wasn’t that he *couldn’t* call her Miss Shan. It was just that when it came from him, it felt like he was intentionally creating distance, reminding her to keep her distance as well. But what was the point of such empty gestures? My own grandfather thinks I ’like’ him. This is giving me a splitting headache. It’s all one big misunderstanding.’

"I’m not afraid of the cold, Mr. Su!"

’You call me Miss Shan, I’ll call you Mr. Su.’

’You want to keep your distance? Fine, I’ll help you. That way you won’t secretly resent me for throwing myself at you for nothing.’

Shan Weizi then noticed Su Ran staring at her. She said languidly, "Staring at a girl for more than three seconds is disrespectful, you know, Mr. Su!"

’If you’re going to call me ’Miss Shan,’ then you don’t get to look. I have no choice but to treat you as nothing more than an ordinary friend.’

Girls’ hearts are intricate things, and they tend to get hung up on the details. Her every word and phrase screamed that she was unhappy with his form of address.

"I was just thinking how great your outfit looks, especially this fluffy coat. It doesn’t seem to shed at all. Is there a men’s version? If there is, I’ll buy one from your online shop."

"My shop does have a men’s version, but you don’t need to buy one. The weather in Lingzhou is cold, so I brought one for you."

"Oh... So if I wear it, I’ll have that Mei Changsu vibe, huh?"

At his words, Shan Weizi let out a soft laugh. The truth was, she’d brought the coat for two reasons. One, she wanted to make sure Su Ran stayed warm. Two, she thought he would look very handsome in it. Then she could get a few pictures for free to post in her shop’s "customer photos" section to attract more buyers.

’As if you’d have the Mei Changsu vibe,’ she thought, though what she said was entirely different.

As she spoke, she saw Su Ran still standing just outside the edge of her umbrella, his black down jacket getting covered in snowflakes. Taking a step forward, her long legs moving gracefully beneath her Hanfu, she closed the "single step" of distance between them. She angled her left hand up, raising the umbrella to shield them both. Since Su Ran was much taller, she had to lift it quite high. With her right hand, she began to gently brush the snow from his shoulders. "Mr. Su," she began, "my grandfather... he knows about our ’misunderstanding’ now. And I can’t seem to explain my way out of it. The reason I was a little late picking you up is because my grandfather came with his disciples. He said... he wants to see what you look like!"

The more the rumor spread, the more it was treated as fact. By now, everyone in the Shan Family and at Spirit Sword Mountain knew that the "future Sect Leader" had a man she was in love with—and that she had even drawn a painting to express her longing.

Was there a single disciple in the Sect who wasn’t curious? They all wanted to know what their future Sect Leader’s suitor looked like and what kind of character he had. What if he was a scumbag? What if he broke their future Sect Leader’s heart and just ran off?

And so, driven by a mountain of curiosity, Spirit Sword Mountain had turned out in full force to "welcome" Su Ran.

After all, every disciple of Spirit Sword Mountain understood a simple truth: to win Shan Weizi was to win Spirit Sword Mountain.

Whoever married Shan Weizi would essentially possess the entire Sect and become its Mountain Master.

They used to think that a woman as exceptional as Shan Weizi would have a hard time finding any man who met her standards. And even if she did find someone she liked, the man would likely be too intimidated by her status to pursue a relationship. Because Shan Weizi was not a woman you could trifle with. Trifle with her, and there would be dire consequences.

They just never expected a brave soul to actually show up.

Shan Weizi lifted her head. Her long eyelashes fluttered, and her red lips parted as she whispered, "Do you mind? If you do, you can go back to Jiangning right now. I won’t make things difficult. I’ll still make sure my grandfather does that wood carving for you."

"Well, I’m here now, aren’t I?" Su Ran reached out, took the umbrella from her, and held it aloft. "Let’s go. Let’s go see your grandfather."

"You’re not afraid?"

"What’s there to be afraid of? It’s not like your grandfather is going to eat me, is he?"

"He doesn’t eat people."

Shan Weizi shook her head, feeling a great sense of relief. Regardless of their ’rumored relationship,’ the fact that Su Ran was willing to face the situation head-on was something any girl would admire.

Shan Weizi said nothing more. She moved a little closer, and they walked shoulder to shoulder into the swirling snow.

The travelers passing by saw the girl in the beautiful, traditional dress finally meet the person she was waiting for. Seeing her fall quietly into step beside him as they walked away together, they couldn’t help but feel a pang of envy.
