291: Chapter 291 Emergency Upgrade

After speaking, Shen Yan looked at Liu Hui, awaiting her response.

But Liu Hui didn't answer him; she directly placed her hand on the back of his neck and kissed him.

Five minutes later.

Panting, Liu Hui leaned on Shen Yan's shoulder and said, "You are too good. You're so good that I feel I'm not worthy of you."

Shen Yan let out a chuckle.

"If you're not worthy of me, then who in the world could possibly be worthy of me?"

"Alright, stop scaring yourself. My girlfriend is you, and my future wife will also be you."

Liu Hui gave a shy "En."

After lingering affectionately for a while, the two finally parted ways at the entrance of the residential complex.

When Shen Yan returned home, it was nearly midnight.

"Thud!"

He turned on the living room light.

Shen Yan tossed the phone in his hand onto the sofa and went straight into the bathroom to wash up.

Although Liu Hui's father was a man of few words, he loved to drink.

In order to leave a good impression on Liu Hui's father, he had consumed quite a bit of alcohol at the dinner table.

Even now, he still carried a strong smell of alcohol on him.

Just as he turned on the shower head to bathe, a rapid alarm suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Beep beep beep beep!"

Shen Yan felt his head buzzing painfully from the alarm.

He took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes, and tapped open the system's electronic panel.

He found only four large characters on the electronic panel.

"Emergency Upgrade!"

An upgrade again?

Shen Yan had thought that after the last upgrade, the tycoon system wouldn't upgrade anymore.

But an upgrade was fine too.

He currently devoted almost all his time to work and had no time to go elsewhere to complete the daily special missions, resulting in pitifully little advanced wealth intelligence received.

If this upgrade could assign the daily special missions to areas around him, he would be ecstatic.

Thinking this, he turned on the shower head.

...

In the room.

Warm sunlight streamed through the window onto the floor.

Shen Yan kicked the blanket and woke up from his slumber.

He reached out, pulled out his phone from under the pillow, and checked the time—two-thirty in the afternoon.

Waking up naturally was a rare treat today. Shen Yan stretched, threw off the covers, and got out of bed.

Walking out of the room, he found Auntie Fang showing Youyou a map.

"Auntie."

When Auntie Fang saw him come out, she immediately stood up and asked him, "Mr. Shen, what would you like to eat?"

Shen Yan replied indifferently, "Anything is fine."

As his words fell, Auntie Fang nodded and walked into the kitchen.

Seeing Youyou still sitting on the sofa looking at the map, Shen Yan walked over curiously.

"Youyou is looking at a map?"

Hearing Shen Yan's question, Youyou nodded and replied to him, "Auntie just taught me how to read a map. She said there are many delicious and fun things here, and that the food here is all sweet. Dad, is that true?"

Shen Yan glanced at the place Youyou was pointing to, nodded, and replied, "That place prefers to cook their dishes when they are fully cooked, so their food is sweet. Does Youyou want to try some?"

Youyou looked as if she had just heard a horror story; her face instantly scrunched up.

"I don't want to! How can food be sweet? Food must be salty or spicy. If it's sweet, it's very, very, very strange!"

Shen Yan couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

He couldn't help it; Youyou was just too cute.

Just as he placed his hand on Youyou's head to mess with her hair, his phone rang.

Shen Yan pulled out his phone to look, discovering it was a call from Chen Guangke.

"Hello?"

His voice, just after waking up, was a bit hoarse and magnetic.

Chen Guangke: "Shen Yan! What is going on with you?!"

Shen Yan let go of Youyou's head, walked toward the bathroom, and asked Chen Guangke in return, "What's going on?"

Chen Guangke took a deep breath, suppressing his agitated mood.

"Don't play dumb with me here. I heard from that lawyer; he said you're withdrawing the lawsuit. Why?"

Shen Yan had no intention of hiding it from Chen Guangke; he briefly told him about what happened the previous night.

"Holy crap!"

"What kind of melodramatic coincidence is this?"

Hearing Chen Guangke's question, Shen Yan chuckled lightly and replied to him, "I don't know either, but since they already apologized to me, let's just drop the matter."

Chen Guangke's eyes widened.

"How can that be! You haven't even gotten your car back yet!"

Shen Yan switched the call to speakerphone, placed the phone on the washstand, and said while washing his face, "Don't worry, I will definitely get my car back. Liu Hui and the others won't let Liu Tiao keep my car."

Chen Guangke thought about it for a moment and felt that was true.

Since Liu Hui's parents dared to beat Liu Tiao in front of Shen Yan, they would definitely make Liu Tiao return the car.

"Fine, since he's Liu... Sister-in-law's relative, we'll let him off for now. I was originally planning to punch him a couple of times the next time I saw him..."

Shen Yan chuckled softly a few times.

That topic ended.

Chen Guangke started a new one.

"When are you coming to the company? Wu Ya is officially transferring to the Branch Company today. Aren't you coming to see her off?"

Shen Yan paused, surprised, "So soon?"

Chen Guangke looked speechless.

"Didn't you tell her to go today?"

Shen Yan replied, "No, I told her to rest for a few days before going."

Hearing this, Chen Guangke fell silent.

After a while, he said to Shen Yan, "Then perhaps she felt the situation at the Branch Company was quite urgent and needed to go over early to handle things."

Shen Yan hummed and said, "Then please tell her for me, say that if we have time tonight, the three of us can go out for a meal."

Chen Guangke nodded and replied, "Got it. Come to the company early, don't start being a hands-off boss just because you're the owner. I don't want to suddenly die from overwork at the company."

Shen Yan burst out laughing.

"Don't worry, with your brain, I can't really be a hands-off boss."

Chen Guangke: "... Get lost!"

He hung up the phone.

Shen Yan continued washing up.

Half an hour later.

He walked out of the bathroom, impeccably dressed.

As soon as he stepped out, Auntie Fang brought the food to the dining table.

Looking at the delicious and appealing dishes, Shen Yan's appetite was greatly stimulated. He picked up his chopsticks and bowl and started eating.

Just as he was eating enthusiastically, Youyou suddenly ran over holding the map and asked Shen Yan, "Dad, when can I go to kindergarten?"

Hearing the question, Shen Yan froze for a moment.

Immediately after, he looked down at Youyou and asked, "Does Youyou really want to go to kindergarten early?"

Youyou nodded without hesitation.

"Auntie told me so many, many stories today!"
