Chapter 160: Chapter 134: Zhixian
Inside the bedroom, Gao Yuan possessed her wildly.
Xiao Xiao cried out unceasingly.
Thankfully, the apartment had been well soundproofed during renovations. Besides, her daughter’s room was a good distance away, so she wasn’t worried about any noise escaping.
They were desperate to meld into one another.
All of Xiao Xiao’s years of self-control shattered in that instant. Forgetting everything, she surrendered to Gao Yuan’s tireless efforts.
....
「Eleven o’clock at night.」
Xiao Xiao and Gao Yuan showered again before returning to the bedroom.
Since they had just dirtied the bedding, Xiao Xiao stripped the comforter from the bed and replaced it with a fresh set.
Lying in bed, they embraced again. Suddenly, Xiao Xiao asked, "Do you feel pressured being with me?"
Gao Yuan caressed her body and spoke his mind frankly.
"No pressure in bed."
"And not much pressure in life, either."
At this, Gao Yuan paused, seeming to gather his thoughts.
Xiao Xiao didn’t press him, waiting quietly for his answer.
"As for wealth... there is some pressure, I admit. But it’s not that much."
He’d come to this conclusion after enjoying Xiao Xiao’s affections tonight.
’Xiao Xiao was indeed fabulously wealthy, but that had little to do with him.’
’Never mind the Money Power System he possessed. Just focusing on his current startup, as long as he made the GY brand a success, he wouldn’t be hurting for money.’
’Basically, buying luxury goods would be no problem for him.’
’He had no intention of letting Xiao Xiao support him. As for how far they would go as a couple? He’d just let things take their natural course.’
’It came back to the same thought: as long as Xiao Xiao didn’t leave, he wouldn’t push her away.’
’And the drawing Xiao Yu had made for him today had only solidified this conviction.’
Hearing Gao Yuan’s words, Xiao Xiao grew even happier. Even though they were in darkness, Gao Yuan could feel her smile.
"I believe you’re the best."
"Your skincare products are quite good. Maybe one day you’ll be wealthier than I am."
Xiao Xiao knew that men needed encouragement, so she immediately started praising him to help build his confidence.
"You’ve used them?"
"I did! As soon as I found out it was your business, I bought some."
Gao Yuan hadn’t expected Xiao Xiao to have secretly bought the GY masks on her own. He had been so busy he’d forgotten to send her some.
’If Xiao Xiao used the masks that had been marked by the System, she’d be in for an even bigger surprise.’
"When I get back, I’ll bring you another product. It’s even better than this one."
"Okay!"
Xiao Xiao hugged Gao Yuan a little tighter.
Tonight, Xiao Xiao wasn’t acting like her usual mature self at all. Instead, she was more like a young girl, showing a newfound dependence on Gao Yuan.
This filled Gao Yuan with a sense of accomplishment.
After talking for a while, the two drifted off to sleep.
In the living room, Gao Yuan’s phone, left on the sofa, suddenly lit up.
Asleep in the bedroom, Gao Yuan didn’t hear the notification chime at all. A moment later, the screen went dark again.
But it wasn’t long before it lit up once more.
「The next morning.」
Gao Yuan didn’t sleep in; when Xiao Xiao woke, he got up with her.
It was only when Xiao Xiao changed into her yoga clothes and led him to the gym that he realized her home occupied the entire floor.
The gym alone was nearly a hundred square meters and was equipped with several different types of workout machines.
Xiao Xiao was doing Pilates while Gao Yuan ran on the treadmill.
He hadn’t been running for long when Xiao Yu entered the gym and started her own workout on the treadmill next to him.
’Such a young girl, and already so self-disciplined.’
’She’s a second-generation rich kid!’
This once again upended Gao Yuan’s impression of the second-generation rich.
After their workout, the three of them had a simple breakfast.
And it was truly simple this time—just milk and bread.
After breakfast, it occurred to Gao Yuan that he hadn’t touched his phone in a long time.
He used to be glued to his phone; even when there was nothing going on, he couldn’t resist scrolling through TikTok for a bit.
It was surprising that he’d gone two hours since waking up without touching his phone, and he hadn’t even felt that familiar sense of unease.
Gao Yuan found this quite surprising.
This thought made Gao Yuan notice that Xiao Xiao herself rarely looked at her phone.
She was always focused on what she was doing, only occasionally glancing at her phone for a moment before setting it aside again.
Gao Yuan unlocked his phone.
He didn’t have many new messages today, mostly just from his small three-person group chat and the company chat.
He first replied to Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing, letting them know when he was heading back, then he handled some company business.
Yesterday’s sales for GY had risen again, hitting 40,000 orders.
This increase was primarily driven by repeat purchases from early customers. Most of them chose the bulk-buy packages, which was why yesterday’s 40,000-plus orders translated into over 70,000 boxes of masks sold.
The new trial orders were likely related to Jay Chou’s concert last night.
But it was the repeat purchases that truly satisfied Gao Yuan. It meant the GY masks were starting to gain real traction.
After finishing up, he saw that Jay Chou had sent him two messages.
The first message asked if he was still in Shanghai today.
The second asked him to reply when he woke up.
Gao Yuan had no idea what Jay Chou wanted, so he simply replied that he was planning to return to Hang City today.
He hadn’t expected Jay Chou to reply almost instantly, asking if he could delay his return by a day.
"Is something up?"
