Chapter 332: You Were the One Who Provoked Me First

Hearing this, Shen Jiaqing's eyeballs nearly popped out.

This little brother is like a heifer on a plane—he's really flown to the heavens!

First he had an official girlfriend, then a top-tier beauty like Wu Yue'er, and now he's hooked this plump and fair-skinned beauty before his eyes, who also happens to be the daughter of a general manager and possesses significant wealth.

He is simply a role model for the rest of us!

Prompted by Shen Yan, Chen Shanni immediately recalled the bits and pieces of their time in Hengdian and called out somewhat bashfully, "Hello, Brother Jiaqing!"

"Hello! Hello!" Shen Jiaqing replied foolishly.

Opening the box, Shen Yan picked up a piece of soft cheese with a toothpick and put it in his mouth; the taste was quite good—sweet and sour with a rich milky flavor—and he asked Chen Shanni, "How did you end up here?"

Chen Shanni explained that she was bored at home and wanted to see what the company was like, and Shen Yan said he was planning to go out and look around to see if there were any suitable houses.

"Do you want to come along?"

"Yes, yes!"

So Shen Yan ate a few more pieces of cheese and mochi balls, leaving the rest for Shen Jiaqing.

Watching the back disappearing around the corner, Shen Jiaqing gave Shen Yan a thumbs-up in his heart.

That's awesome!

Stepping into the elevator, it was empty, and Chen Shanni stole a glance at Shen Yan; after struggling for a good while, she finally couldn't help but take his hand.

Shen Yan turned his head and, looking at her shy, red-faced expression, couldn't help but tease, "Someone said before that we shouldn't be too close, so what is happening now?"

"You were the one who provoked me first!" Chen Shanni said with her head lowered.

At the time, she had been near death's door, and after a night of pleasure, she had intended to keep her distance from Shen Yan, but who knew that Shen Yan would instead become interested and climb into her bed again the next day.

Shen Yan would not admit to this: "You were the one who said you wanted to try it once, so I..."

"Then why did you act like that afterward?"

"I was blinded by lust and obsessed with desire, I suppose!"

Chen Shanni's cheeks burned fiery hot at these words, but she still didn't let go of Shen Yan's hand; Shen Yan didn't know what to say, but in the end, he still held that jade-like hand.

In truth, Shen Yan was quite conflicted.

In terms of feelings, Wu Yue'er was certainly deeper, but he equally did not want to hurt Chen Shanni.

It is said that the most effective way to reach the depths of a woman's heart is to conquer her, and is it not the same for a man? Plus, Chen Shanni's condition kept recurring.

Sigh! Perhaps there really is fate in the dark.

Chen Shanni naturally did not know about the twists and turns in his mind, but the warmth coming from his palm made her feel sweet inside, just like drinking honey water.

At this moment, she truly felt Shen Yan's intentions.

Chen Shanni blushed and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "Let's try again tonight, okay? Perhaps that can cure me."

Mentioning this, Shen Yan felt a surge of fire in his heart again, and he hooked his lips into an evil smile: "I will certainly do my best, though I don't know what the effect will be."

"Mm!"

Arriving at the underground parking lot and opening the door of the white Maybach, a sense of luxury rushed toward them; the interior decoration was exquisite and elegant, with every detail highlighting the superb quality and craftsmanship.

Sitting in the driver's seat, as the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison; Shen Yan had felt it before, but now he truly experienced the chasm-like gap between a luxury car and an ordinary one.

This gap was not only reflected in the appearance and design, but also in the visible differences in performance, configuration, comfort, and so on—it was a completely different sensory experience.

As Chen Shanni fastened her seatbelt, she asked where the car came from, and Shen Yan briefly explained the matter of Jacob's gratitude.

Chen Shanni gasped in surprise, but she was also happy for Shen Yan.

She didn't know how much Shen Yan was worth, but money is naturally the more the better.

After familiarizing himself with the vehicle's condition according to the manual, Shen Yan drove to the vehicle management office; with the relevant materials left by that man, all the procedures went very smoothly.

After installing the official license plates on the new car, Shen Yan drove to the villa area near Yinliu Road to ask if there were any suitable properties.

To tell the truth, Shen Yan didn't like living in apartment buildings for a simple reason: first, the residential area was densely populated and mixed with all kinds of people; second, one had to take the elevator every day, which posed certain safety risks—if the power went out or something, one could climb the stairs until they doubted life.

Relatively speaking, villas were much more comfortable to live in, and they had greater potential for appreciation.

Furthermore, Shen Liangping's house was bought on Jinqiao Road, a five-minute walk to Yinliu Road, which was close enough to be convenient for Grandma Shen to move back and forth.

Walking into the sales office, Shen Yan asked straightforwardly if there were any villas for sale nearby, emphasizing that the community environment had to be good.

The saleswoman in black silk stockings stole a glance at Shen Yan, and then the smile on her face bloomed like a sunflower, bright and radiant.

"Yes, sir, how about you take a look at this one? The villa is 300 square meters and adopts a European architectural style..."

"Do you have anything bigger? Five hundred to one thousand square meters would be fine."

"Then how about you look at this one..."

"The design isn't quite right!"

"Then what about this one?"

After several selections, none of the houses met Shen Yan's wishes, and finally the saleswoman said: "Sir, there is currently one last 1,000-square-meter luxury villa for sale at Junqing Haoting. There are 21 detached villas in the community, the ecological environment is excellent, and every household enjoys a large garden, swimming pool, and so on..."

"I wonder if this one meets your wishes?"

Looking at the photo in the brochure, Shen Yan's eyes lit up; the villas in this community were famous far and wide in Shanghai, and before his rebirth, the price had even risen to 400,000 per square meter.

Shen Yan asked the saleswoman for the unit price of this villa, and seeing that the other party was not backing down, the saleswoman's little heart beat uncontrollably fast.

Her pretty face turned red along with it.

Could it be that she had met a big tycoon today? She was going to get rich! She was going to get rich!

She suppressed the excitement in her heart and said: "Sir, this villa is the top-tier villa in this area, with a unit price of 70,000 per square meter. If you like it, I can take you to visit the site."

Shen Yan nodded indifferently.

For top-tier villas like this, there was a necessary process before an on-site visit, which was asset verification. Shen Yan had earned more than 30 million in the stock market and won 110 million in Macau; excluding the 47 million used for investing in Xiao Gu and 20 million for investing in *Tai Jiong*, plus other miscellaneous expenses.

Adding the 5 million obtained from Jacob, there were still 80 million in his account.

Passing the asset verification procedure was a piece of cake.
