Are they good today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun replied, \"They’re good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If they’re good, why don’t you thank Chen Xin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun gave Chen Xin a resigned smile. \"Thanks for the buns.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re welcome,\" said Chen Xin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Sujuan watched the two of them, the amusement in her eyes impossible to hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked, \"Xu Yun, are you busy later?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re having lunch at home. Your uncle and a few others will be coming over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Sujuan continued, \"I gave Chen Xin a list. You’re to go with her to New Century Supermarket later and buy everything on it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xu Yun polish off ten buns in no time, Chen Xin asked, \"Was that enough? If not, I can go down and buy you some more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s enough. I’m not a pig. One steamer was just right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun drained the remaining half bowl of soy milk in one gulp, then got up and said, \"Let me get changed, then we can go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Xin, you go in too. Help him pick something out for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Sujuan smiled. \"Make him wear something nice today. You have good taste—better than his.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, Auntie.\" Chen Xin nodded. Having received her orders from his mother, she opened the door and walked right in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the room, Xu Yun, who had just taken off his clothes, stared in confusion as Chen Xin suddenly walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"???\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xin explained awkwardly, \"Auntie said I should come in and help you pick out something to wear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Alright, Mom, I see what you’re doing. You want Chen Xin to skip the whole dating phase and jump straight into the wife role, huh?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This outfit looks great. Try it on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xin deftly walked over to the wardrobe, and a moment later she had picked out an outfit for Xu Yun, laying it on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun agreed. Seeing that Chen Xin was still standing there with no intention of leaving, he asked with a smile, \"Planning on watching me strip and change?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah?! No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xin’s face instantly turned red. She quickly backed out and closed the door behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he hadn’t brought much luggage with him when he came home, Xu Yun had been wearing his old clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No designer labels, just ordinary, mass-market clothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xu Yun came out after changing and Chen Xin looked at him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’For some reason, even though he didn’t look as much like the typical ’tall, rich, and handsome’ ideal as before, she found herself liking this sudden, approachable ordinariness even more.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Perhaps this version of Xu Yun felt more real to her.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Xin really has good taste.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Sujuan praised from the side, \"In this outfit, you really look like my son.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you’re saying I wasn’t your son before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You were, but it always felt a bit unreal, like a dream.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Sujuan smiled. \"You look much more natural like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could understand his mom’s feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Back when it started, even he had felt a bit dazed and disconnected seeing himself decked out in luxury brands.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But he’d gotten used to it over time.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’His mom, however, wasn’t around him all the time, so she hadn’t seen it often. That’s why she felt this way after suddenly seeing such a huge change in him.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once changed, the two of them headed out, one after the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Sujuan watched them go, her eyes brimming with happiness. She sighed to herself, \"If only we were really a family. How wonderful would that be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a small county like this, there was only one large supermarket. It was in the commercial center, about two to three kilometers away from their neighborhood, which was quite a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking wasn’t a realistic option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The saying \"three minutes by car, half an hour on foot\" was no joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun and Chen Xin drove to the supermarket’s parking garage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike in the big cities, luxury cars weren’t a common sight here. Most vehicles were in the range of tens to hundreds of thousands of yuan, with very few costing more than 300,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So when Xu Yun’s car pulled in, it stood out like a crane among chickens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its looks and value were both so striking that people couldn’t help but take a second glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One guy even saw Xu Yun’s car about to park next to him and immediately drove off to find a spot further away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was terrified that if he accidentally scraped it, he wouldn’t be able to afford the repairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And don’t even talk about insurance. Sure, insurance would cover it, but if they paid out this time, wouldn’t next year’s premium just go up?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Xu Yun and Chen Xin parked and walked off, the garage’s security guard came over carrying several safety cones and placed one at each corner of the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were afraid, too. If another car scraped it and the driver took off, they’d be in a world of trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it wasn’t about sucking up; they were just worried about the trouble an accident would cause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though they were eating at home, the shopping list his mom had written out was still quite long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them first went to the fresh seafood section and bought a few mandarin fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fish cost fifty to sixty yuan per jin—a price that meant his family rarely bought it back when they weren’t as well-off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was actually quite fond of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was boneless and tender!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that wasn’t an issue anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never mind fifty or sixty yuan a jin, Xu Yun wouldn’t even blink if it cost five or six thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun didn’t know much about it, so when it was time to net the fish, he just went for the biggest one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chen Xin stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She explained that for mandarin fish, a weight of around one jin was ideal for eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fish of that size had the tenderest meat and the best texture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun curiously asked how she knew all that. She replied that she was in charge of cooking the fish for lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you know how to cook this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun asked in confusion, \"Last time, didn’t you tell me you couldn’t cook?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1116,"2026-06-03T11:41:56.865Z","2026-06-03T11:42:08.162Z",1,"novelbin.me","e3439f732e625ce078459a23ceae14525631f4aa4bd51015cde15c3cbd26e08c","super-rich-by-doing-as-you-please-chapter-234","super-rich-by-doing-as-you-please-chapter-232",284,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-rich-by-doing-as-you-please-cover.jpg"]
