259: Chapter 259 The Taste

"Son, now that our family is so wealthy, do your dad and I need to learn how the parents of other rich people act? Otherwise, will we lose face for you?"

"Dad, Mom, you just need to live the way you like. You don't need to consider anything else."

"You are the parents of a genuine billionaire; whatever you do is right."

"My face is earned through money. As long as the money is still there, my face won't be lost. You don't need to worry about this; just go ahead and enjoy yourselves with peace of mind."

The sudden change in status was clearly something the elderly couple couldn't adapt to yet, but hearing their son tell them to just live as they normally did did indeed reduce some of their anxiety.

"Then, for your Second Uncle's Xiaohu's wedding, we'll just give that amount. Is that appropriate? Should we add a bit more?"

"To be honest, I'm not really close with these relatives. You two can discuss and decide on this matter. No matter what, your son can back you up."

After Zhao Xiaoshuai's guidance, the elderly couple became increasingly relaxed and gradually accepted the current situation, so they returned to the topic of his daughters-in-law.

"Xiao Shuai, do the parents of those girlfriends of yours know about this?"

"Well... this matter really hasn't been disclosed to their parents. Since even you, my mom and dad, find it so hard to accept, it would be even harder for their parents."

"So you mean that when we meet them later, we still have to hide it?"

"I know it's tough, I know."

Looking at his son's cheeky expression, Father Zhao couldn't help but get angry. He had been a proper, upright man back in his day; how could he have raised such a son!

"Right, Dad, Mom, I bought a big house. I'll come pick you up to move in in a few days."

"If your mom and I move in, won't we disturb you young folks when you're being lovey-dovey?"

"Nah, the house is over a thousand square meters, with upstairs and downstairs; you won't disturb us."

The elderly couple was speechless again, almost forgetting their son's current financial strength.

They already felt that their current 100-square-meter apartment was very spacious; what would it feel like to live in a place ten times that size?

Having finally passed the hurdle with his parents, Zhao Xiaoshuai left feeling completely relaxed.

When people get old, they should avoid drastic emotional ups and downs. To ensure his parents could accept this surprise as smoothly as possible, he had put in a lot of effort, carefully planning for nearly two months before finally laying his cards on the table.

Returning home, Sun Yingxue was still in class, and only Zou Luyao was at home.

Compared to high school, college students don't have as many classes, so there is quite a lot of free time.

Now, Zou Luyao not only had Sun Yingxue as a good best friend, but she had also gradually become more outgoing at school, making friend after friend.

It was just inevitable that among these friends, many would be coming for Zhao Xiaoshuai, this super rich and handsome man. Sun Yingxue, being high-level, handled those people, so he didn't need to worry about it for now.

These past few days, with Sun Yingxue's help, set after set of well-fitting cosplay outfits had been made, and there were so many various wigs that they couldn't be put away, piling up in the master bedroom's walk-in closet.

Now, Zou Luyao basically changed into a different cosplay outfit every day, and she wouldn't repeat one within a week.

The character she was cosplaying today was a deity from a popular game who held dominion over lightning.

As expected of a deity who controls lightning, Zhao Xiaoshuai, who had just returned home, stared a few extra times at the abyss.

It is said that in the game, this deity fights by drawing weapons from their own abyss.

"How have you been lately? Are you still happy?"

Seeing her boyfriend return home, Zou Luyao immediately rushed over and gave him a loving hug. "Happy! I'm so happy every day that I'm flying!"

As the things she had once dreamed of came true one by one, Zou Luyao lived every day as if she were in a dream, living happily to the fullest.

Over this period, her affection level had also risen to 399 (Like); it just needed a trigger to break through at any time.

"I've been tired all day today, let's have the usual lap pillow and ear cleaning."

Although, with Zhao Xiaoshuai's current physical vitality, he almost never felt tired anymore, it didn't stop him from using this as an excuse to enjoy his little girlfriend's gentle service.

Lying on those fleshy, bare legs, Zhao Xiaoshuai couldn't help but rub his face against them.

"Hey, don't move around, it tickles."

Given their current level of intimacy, these little interactions had completely become a daily routine, so Zou Luyao just gently tapped her mischievous boyfriend's head.

"Have you made any new friends lately?"

"Mm, I have so many friends now! I've already arranged to go shopping with a few classmates tomorrow."

"When you go shopping, do your classmates treat you like a sucker and throw everything at you to pay for?"

Seeing his little girlfriend pout slightly in his peripheral vision, she said, "There was before, but every time I brought Sun Yingxue along, she helped me roast those people until their faces turned red. I haven't brought them along since."

These were experiences that were hard to avoid in normal life. Zhao Xiaoshuai encouraged her to make more friends, also with the intention of letting these ordinary people help her experience the real society.

It seemed the effect was quite good; Zou Luyao was understanding more and more about what the world was really like.

She had a clearly weak part in her interpersonal interactions, but because she had her good best friend Sun Yingxue by her side, this part was perfectly supplemented for her.

"This side is done, turn your head. But this time you are not allowed to blow air there; it always makes me feel so strange!"

Zhao Xiaoshuai agreed with his mouth, but in reality, he turned his head towards her lower abdomen; how could he possibly behave?

He took a deep breath of her maidenly fragrance.

Ever since his sense of smell had been continuously enhanced, Zhao Xiaoshuai's ability to distinguish various scents had also risen correspondingly.

He was finally able to appreciate the differences between different perfumes and taste the 'meaning' they wanted to express.

This characteristic manifested in his daily life as him discovering everyone's 'scent.'

Everyone's scent was different.

It was a mixture of all the scents from cosmetics, toiletries, laundry products, the aura of daily life, and so on.

The types and brands of these items that each person used were different, and what was ultimately mixed together was a completely different scent with distinctive personal characteristics.

"Knowing a woman by her scent" was something that truly existed.

Just like what he was smelling right now, it was a faint scent of flowers, plants, and fruit, making one feel fresh, natural, and pure.

Zou Luyao's face turned slightly red, but she couldn't do anything about this boyfriend. In fact, she had long known about this 'naughty hobby' of his, to the point that every time before he came home, she would wash up and clean her whole body.

"Do that one again."

"Which one?"

"Just that 'facial cleanser'."

"Oh, you're so annoying!"

Zhao Xiaoshuai sat up, buried his face in, rubbed it around while shaking his head, and took a deep sniff.

This time it was a faint, sweet fragrance.
