Everyday Romance After Becoming a Billionaire

Chapter 194: Chapter 124: A Basic Attack Led to a Team Wipe

"Hmph!" Aina slammed her fist on the table, complaining indignantly, "Xiao Wanqing is unbelievable. She made you, Su Ran, sleep in a chair while she slept so soundly on the hospital cot. Couldn’t she have just let you sleep on the bed? Look, now you’ve caught a cold, Baby Ran~"

Eww~

That "Baby Ran" gave Liu Jinyu and Xie Yiren goosebumps.

"The first half of the night, she and I were squeezed onto that tiny cot. In the second half, her dad woke up, so I got up to take care of him. I didn’t go back to sleep. I couldn’t exactly squeeze back in with her right in front of her dad, could I?"

"’Squeeze in’?"

"What’s going on in that dirty little mind of yours?" Xie Yiren poked Aina on the forehead. "You’re such a pro at this, stop making lewd jokes."

Su Ran stretched and hugged Liu Jinyu. Her thick down jacket felt so warm. He said drowsily, "I took some medicine and want to sleep. Jinyu, I’m going to sleep for a bit."

"Go ahead and sleep, dear."

"Su Ran, why don’t you sleep on Xie Yiren’s? Yiren’s are big and soft."

"Damn it..." Xie Yiren couldn’t take it anymore and chased Aina around, trying to hit her. Aina justifiably argued that she was only speaking the truth and hadn’t said anything wrong.

Su Ran really couldn’t sleep. They were too noisy. ’They’re going to be the death of me one of these days.’

Just then, Xiao Wanqing came skipping over. "Su Ran, did you sleep in a chair all night?"

"What else was I going to do? I couldn’t exactly sleep with you right in front of your father. What if he beat me to death?"

"He wouldn’t. You’re my dad’s idol."

"???"

"My dad really admires your status as Young Master Su. Just now, he was going on and on about how he wants to follow you for your third big win next time. He couldn’t stop praising you."

"...I’m done with stocks. From now on, I’m switching to Middle Eastern crude oil."

Everyone: ...

But if Su Ran said it, it must be true. Everyone knew he had the ’God Ou’ constitution, the kind that guaranteed profits and never lost. However, getting into Middle Eastern crude oil was something that made most people shrink back in hesitation. It was a game for the super-rich.

Su Ran simply wanted to change his cash-out method. He was worried that after his third big win, the reputation of Young Master Su would become too widespread. If that happened, countless social media accounts would undoubtedly try every trick in the book to dig up his identity. Su Ran would eventually be doxxed, and once his hidden "black pearl" identity was revealed, it would attract worldwide attention and disrupt his life.

Su Ran preferred to keep a low profile and enjoy a quiet life. He’d rather let ’Young Master Su’ become a mysterious legend for people to wonder about.

However, while that was his way of thinking, the women naturally listened to him. In their hearts, they loved him deeply for it. After all, the more a man’s status was enhanced, the prouder the women around him felt, and the more it served to conquer them.

...

「Around eight o’clock」

Mrs. Xiao rushed to the hospital. When she learned that Su Ran had spent the entire night taking care of things and had even caught a cold, she was mortified and gripped his hands, thanking him profusely.

"...Ma’am, please, don’t thank me anymore. Wanqing is a good friend to all of us. Her business is our business. It’s only natural that we help each other. As long as Uncle Xiao is okay, we’re all relieved. We have to rush to the airport now. Wanqing, Ma’am, you two go on in and take care of Uncle Xiao. Don’t see us out."

Mrs. Xiao was extremely gratified. ’I really like this young man,’ she thought. "This boy is really something special."

Xiao Wanqing: "Yeah, he really is."

Mrs. Xiao: "Then what are you standing there for? Go after him!"

Xiao Wanqing: "Go after him? I’ve already caught him!"

Mrs. Xiao: "I meant chase after him and ask how much the medical bills are! These specialists and professors can’t be cheap."

"Right away." Xiao Wanqing didn’t wait for the elevator. She took the stairs, chased him down through the lobby, and called out to Su Ran just as he was about to get into his Rolls-Royce.

"Su Ran..."

Su Ran told the others to get in the car first, then walked over to the panting Xiao Wanqing. "What’s wrong?"

"I... I... *huff*... How much were the medical bills? Let’s keep things separate. Feelings shouldn’t get mixed up with money. Just tell me how much it was."

"You really want to pay?"

"Yes. I insist."

"Alright then. Professor Gao and his team are all top cardiac specialists in the country. They held a consultation to diagnose your dad, and all the medications are the best imported ones. Especially that little pill your dad took this morning—it’s a heart disease drug developed by the CDXC Company. It’s the same kind Superman Li takes. The price is 890,000 RMB per pill, and I got your dad a five-pill course of treatment."

"???" Xiao Wanqing was dumbfounded. Her mouth formed a perfect ’O’.

"...And then there’s some other miscellaneous stuff. The five pills were the main expense. Hmm... so far, the cost is already at six million. That’s about it."

"..."

Although Xiao Wanqing was a girl from Shanghai whose family was considered upper-middle class, wasn’t this price a bit too high? Six million. ’If Mrs. Xiao finds out,’ she thought, ’she’ll probably stop thinking Su Ran is so great and assume he’s here to fleece our family.’

"No, wait, Su Ran, he doesn’t need to take such expensive medicine. That’s for rich people like you when you get sick. We’re ordinary folks; regular medicine is fine. Please cancel the remaining four pills. We really can’t afford them."

"It’s fine. It’s already been paid for. Just have him take it."

"We really can’t afford it. My family can’t pay these medical bills. If my dad knew you got him the same medicine as Superman Li, the shock would probably give him a real heart attack. Young Master Su, please don’t do this. A small family like ours can’t handle this kind of treatment."

Su Ran held back a laugh and said, "It’s fine. What’s spent is spent. Just get your mom to reimburse you, then transfer it to my account." He was about to turn away, but Xiao Wanqing quickly pulled him back.

"My mom doesn’t have that much money either. She can’t pay."

"Not my problem. I’ve already paid for it. How about this: you can pay... with your body."

Hearing this, Xiao Wanqing immediately understood. It was one of those twisted games rich people play. She pinched Su Ran. "So you spent six million just to mess with me, huh? Fine. Pay with my body, is it? When you get back, I’ll pay you back all at once, until *you’re* the one in my debt."

"Sounds good."

After watching Su Ran get in the car and drive away, Xiao Wanqing went to find Professor Gao to ask about the medicine.

Professor Gao said, "CDXC what? Mr. Su did ask if we had the best medicine available, but our hospital doesn’t carry it. Mr. Su was just teasing you. However, he did instruct us to use the best medication our hospital has for all of your father’s treatments. Mr. Su also told us not to let you ask about the medical bills. He said you were his girlfriend, and that your New Year’s wish was for him to be happy, and his New Year’s wish was for you to be happy, too."

...

「Meanwhile」

In the car, Su Ran watched the three chattering girls—Liu Jinyu and the others. ’The relationship between the five of us is really delicate,’ he thought. ’It’s less like I’m dating Liu Jinyu and more like I’m dating all four girls at once.’

’First: My relationship with Liu Jinyu, from start to finish, has developed right under the noses of Xiao Wanqing, Aina, and Xie Yiren. They remember when I turned Liu Jinyu from a girl into a woman more clearly than I do.’

’Second: Have I even been on a date with Liu Jinyu? Uh... no, we’ve never had a real date. Every "date" involves all four of them going to the movies, eating French cuisine, and drinking together, after which I carry them to their rooms one by one.’

’Third: During their beauty spas, the four girls all lie there exposed, letting me apply essential oils using my Finger Technique Fragrance.’

’Fourth: I’ve even given Xiao Wanqing her "treatment" right in front of Liu Jinyu.’

’Fifth: We’ve all slept together on a heated brick bed.’

’This legit one-on-four dating life is seriously addicting.’

’I only meant to solo Liu Jinyu, but somehow my basic attacks scored a team wipe.’
