Chapter 16: Rich Lady Spends Money!

Lin Yuan was forcibly kissed by Su Monong.

After they French-kissed in the office for several minutes, both were out of breath; Su Monong then pulled away.

After work in the evening, her daughter Su Zhiyuan drove home first.

Su Monong told her daughter that she would not come home for dinner tonight, letting her daughter eat alone at home.

Then Su Monong took a car and went to Lin Yuan's home.

……

Lin Yuan drove, taking Su Monong to the vegetable market near his rental housing community.

"Director Su, what vegetables would you like? I'll buy them for you." Lin Yuan led Su Monong into the vegetable market.

Su Monong was still experiencing her first visit to such a dirty, messy market; the ground was wet with puddles, and her high heels were very inconvenient.

However, the market was full of everyday life atmosphere, making Su Monong find it quite interesting.

She ordered several dishes: mandarin fish, large shrimp, beef, lamb chops, eggplant…

Lin Yuan settled the bill, Su Monong paid the money.

After buying the vegetables, they then returned to the rental unit.

Upon entering Lin Yuan's rental unit, Su Monong's beautiful eyes slightly furrowed.

Lin Yuan's rental unit really is in poor condition.

The rental unit is very small, only about 40 square meters, and it's a very old house.

The interior decoration is also a dilapidated renovation from twenty-odd years ago, and the rental unit is filled with a musty wood smell.

"Director Su, sorry… the place is dirty." Lin Yuan hurriedly cleaned up, wiped the sofa clean, then gestured for Su Monong to sit down.

"You used to be a driver, your monthly salary is also around 5000, right? You shouldn't have to rent such a run-down place. Did you spend all your money on that little girlfriend of yours?" Su Monong asked in surprise.

Lin Yuan scratched his head and said, "Um, part of it goes to my girlfriend, and another part I send home to pay off debts; my family owes a lot of money, so I send money home each month to repay them."

Su Monong's beautiful eyes furrowed as she asked, "Isn't your family's traditional Chinese medicine clinic passed down through generations? How come you still owe money?"

Lin Yuan said, "The family's Chinese medicine clinic has already closed down; something happened at home, so we owe a lot of money…"

He obviously didn't want to say more.

Su Monong also didn't ask further.

Su Monong said, "You are now the Chairman's Secretary, your salary has risen to 8000 per month, and you also have a year-end performance bonus. An annual income of 100,000 is no problem; you should rent a better place."

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "It's fine; I'm used to living here alone. I'm also too lazy to move, and it saves some money."

Su Monong coldly replied, "I'm not used to it."

"Eh?" Lin Yuan's face full of confusion… he thought, "Where I live, Director Su also wants to manage??"

Su Monong coldly said, "I heard from Yuan Hongli that you cook very well, so I will often come to eat at your place. Therefore, you should change to a better rental unit; I will subsidize the rent."

Lin Yuan dared not retort, could only nod in agreement: "Okay, then I'll look for another place in a few days…"

Only then was Su Monong satisfied.

Lin Yuan carried a bag of vegetables to the kitchen to wash and cook.

Su Monong sat on the sofa and began handling work.

As Chairman, she remained busy even after work, needing to handle various company affairs.

Half an hour later, Lin Yuan had prepared a table full of dishes.

Su Monong also smelled the aroma; she got up and went to the dining table to take a look.

Indeed, it was a table full of sumptuous dishes.

Jiangnan-style sweet and sour mandarin fish, braised large shrimp, minced meat stir-fried eggplant… braised lamb chops, peppered beef strips… every dish gave off a fragrant aroma.

"Director Su, you can eat now." Lin Yuan voluntarily served her a bowl of rice.

Su Monong, however, said, "Yuan Hongli said you have homemade rice wine, it's very fragrant; please pour me a little to try?"

Lin Yuan was stunned…… Yuan Hongli, why does she tell Director Su about everything?

Fortunately, that day he didn't do anything inappropriate toward Manager Yuan.

Otherwise Director Su would certainly have known as well.

Lin Yuan took out his own brewed rice wine jar, opened the jar, and poured Su Monong a bowl of rice wine.

Instantly, as if the fragrance burst forth, the entire rental unit was filled with the sweet aroma of rice wine.

Su Monong even found herself unable to resist swallowing her saliva.

This rice wine, just its aroma alone is already so enticing.

Su Monong couldn't help but lift the rice wine and take a light sip.

A mellow, sweet fragrance permeated her lips and teeth.

The rice wine's fermented grain aroma, plus the fermented mash flavor, leaves an endless aftertaste.

Su Monong even felt that the rice wine seemed to contain some special fragrance, making one want to drink more and more.

After Su Monong swallowed a mouthful of rice wine, her whole delicate body trembled slightly, and a warm current rose in her lower abdomen.

"What… did you add to this rice wine? Why do I feel hot after drinking it?" Su Monong asked in surprise.

Lin Yuan explained, "I added some herbal formulas to the rice wine; drinking it can dispel dampness and cold, so the body feels a bit warm."

Su Monong lightly nodded, not expecting that this small bowl of rice wine actually had such an effect.

While drinking the rice wine, Su Monong also stirred with her chopsticks and tasted a bite of Lin Yuan's cooked dish.

She lightly tasted a mouthful of sweet-and-sour fish, and her long eyelashes immediately twitched slightly.

This texture, it's truly amazing!

Su Monong's beautiful eyes showed surprise and delight.

As the group's Chairman, she has also eaten plenty of top-tier delicacies, having visited Michelin restaurants both domestically and abroad.

But when Su Monong tasted Lin Yuan's dish, she still exclaimed.

"Mmm, delicious~" Su Monong actually rarely praised.

Dishes that could earn her praise were few, but Lin Yuan's dish received her praise.

Su Monong couldn't help but stretch out her chopsticks again and took a few bites.

The more she ate, the more addictive it became.

Lin Yuan's cooked dishes were full of the bustling market's fireworks aroma, the dishes carried a rich wok fragrance, and they were perfect in color, aroma, and taste.

Su Monong lightly sipped the rice wine while tasting the dishes.

Without realizing it, she had already drunk two bowls of rice wine.

"Please pour me another bowl." Su Monong handed the empty bowl to him.

"Um, Director Su, you can't drink anymore; this rice wine is very intoxicating, with a strong aftereffect..." Lin Yuan advised.

"What are you panicking about? I'm not someone who hasn't drunk good liquor. My tolerance—just a few bowls of rice wine mean nothing." Su Monong said disdainfully.

Indeed, she often attends drinking parties outside, her alcohol tolerance is excellent; don't think she's just a woman, but she can drink a whole bottle of Maotai by herself.

This shows how good Su Monong's alcohol tolerance is.

Such a business-circle female powerhouse is naturally a socialite, and her alcohol tolerance is her calling card.

Lin Yuan felt helpless and could only pour her another bowl of rice wine.

Su Monong began to taste the rice wine again.

But as she finished this third bowl of rice wine.

Su Monong's pretty face gradually turned red.

Two patches of blush fluttered onto her pretty face, making her at this moment appear somewhat dreamy and beautiful.

"Hmm~ strange, Lin Yuan, why is your body swaying left and right?" Su Monong gazed at Lin Yuan with her beautiful, hazy eyes, and her voice trembled slightly.

Lin Yuan, upon hearing this, realized something was wrong.

Director Su is drunk……

"Director Su, you're drunk…… don't drink anymore." Lin Yuan hurriedly set down the half-bowl of wine in her hand.

"Who says I'm drunk? I, Su Monong, have run a company for so many years and have never been drunk~" Su Monong said in a drunken voice.

Unconvinced, she picked up the wine bowl and wanted to drink again.

Lin Yuan was speechless; this Director Su was really putting on a brave front.

Obviously she's already drunk like this.

"Director Su, you really are drunk; you can't drink anymore." Lin Yuan advised.

But as Su Monong just lifted the wine bowl, her delicate body suddenly went limp… and then her delicate body collapsed straight onto the ground.

Lin Yuan: "……"

This Director Su is not only drunk, but terribly drunk.

"Director Su? Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself from the fall?" Lin Yuan hurriedly stepped forward, trying to help Su Monong up.

But Su Monong suddenly rolled over, and Lin Yuan got pressed down.

Her long hair fell down, covering Lin Yuan's face.

"Director Su, you're drunk, please get up quickly……" Lin Yuan said.

"You little brat, your brewed wine is truly intoxicating; you've gotten me, your sister, drunk." Su Monong said in a hazy voice.

"Director Su…… you really are drunk, I'll help you up……" Lin Yuan said.

Su Monong, however, with drunken, hazy eyes said, "You little brat, your rice wine is indeed truly intoxicating. What to do? You have to compensate me~"
