54: Chapter 54 The Girl's Change

Chen Xiaoran couldn't help but let out a soft huff.

Her cute appearance immediately made Shen Zhou chuckle.

Having experienced the changes in Han Bingqing before and after their shopping trip, how could he not guess what was going on in Chen Xiaoran's mind right now?

"Alright, let's check out."

Shen Zhou casually handed his bank card to the sales assistant beside him.

"Very well, sir, please come this way."

The sales assistant's eyes were practically melting as she looked at Shen Zhou.

[Ding!]

[Hello, Host, your cashback has arrived!]

[This purchase was 890,000, with a 60x cashback, totaling 53.4 million!]

[It has been deposited into your bank account!]

[New system task triggered: Late Night Expectations!]

[Task prompt: Xiao Shen is facing a crisis; please help Xiao Shen get out of this predicament within three days!]

[Task reward: Unknown!]

"Oh, it's that female sales associate from the 4S dealership back then."

"Looks like I'll have to find time to pay a visit."

As they left the Audi counter, Shen Zhou had already naturally wrapped his arm around Chen Xiaoran's waist.

Although Chen Xiaoran felt a bit uncomfortable, she did not resist.

"We welcome our distinguished guest to visit us again!"

The female sales assistant behind them bowed deeply, revealing a generous cleavage.

Her gaze remained fixed on the backs of Shen Zhou and his companion.

She watched as Shen Zhou walked into the next luxury store.

Then she watched as the two of them visited nearly four or five luxury stores within half an hour.

"What a pity, a man like that is destined to never look my way."

"You little vixen, I'm so jealous I could die!"

The sales assistant gritted her teeth as she stared at Chen Xiaoran's retreating figure.

...

After leaving the mall, Shen Zhou quickly took Chen Xiaoran back to the BMW.

The back seat and the trunk of the BMW were packed full.

The constant notification sounds from the system left Shen Zhou with no desire to check them.

At this moment, his assets had long since exceeded hundreds of millions.

The money in his bank card was just a string of cold numbers to him.

But what Shen Zhou cared about more was Chen Xiaoran's increasingly clingy attitude toward him.

"Sure enough, a woman only has two locks."

"As long as you unlock the top one, the bottom one will naturally open as well."

The smile on Shen Zhou's face grew even wider.

He drove to the entrance of Ziyu Mansion.

The gate opened just in time.

"Welcome home, owner!"

The 1.85-meter-tall handsome security guard, whom he had met once before, trotted over and saluted Shen Zhou.

"This is one of the perks of a high-end residential area."

Not all security guards are the same.

He certainly wouldn't want a security team at his own residence consisting of five old men who couldn't even muster a full set of teeth among them.

"Brother Shen, the houses here are so expensive, why did you decide to buy one here?"

Chen Xiaoran seemed to have become more lively and was no longer as distant with Shen Zhou.

Celebrities do indeed make a lot of money, but only top-tier actors earn millions or even tens of millions from a single drama.

For someone like her, who only plays a palace maid with a few lines, she would be lucky to make a few hundred thousand per drama.

And her current assets were earned by working day and night.

Of course, the bulk of it was money her parents had scraped together by selling their own property.

All for the sake of letting her repay Lin Lan's kindness as soon as possible.

Therefore, she didn't even dare to imagine when she would have the financial strength to buy a house in Ziyu Mansion like Shen Zhou.

"Is it expensive? It's alright."

Shen Zhou just nodded slightly.

"I'm really envious of you, Brother Shen!"

Chen Xiaoran shook her head with a sigh.

"Right, there's a file in the storage compartment in front of the passenger seat; could you grab it for me?"

Shen Zhou glanced to the right.

"Alright, Brother Shen."

Chen Xiaoran opened the storage compartment with great seriousness.

She carefully took out a file from inside.

Inside, there was a property deed, shining brightly.

She opened it, and her large eyes immediately widened, making her look even cuter.

"Brother Shen, is your house a villa?"

Chen Xiaoran felt her scalp tingle.

Even her voice sounded a bit hoarse, as if something was lodged in her throat.

"I don't know; I entrusted someone else to buy it."

Shen Zhou said nonchalantly.

But he was also somewhat surprised internally.

"System, you're quite good at wordplay, aren't you?"

"Didn't you say it was just a luxury residence? How did it turn into a villa?"

By now, Chen Xiaoran had solemnly put away the property deed.

"Brother Shen, we need to turn right up ahead."

Following the address on the property deed, Chen Xiaoran continued to give directions.

Soon, Chen Xiaoran began to stare straight at the scenery outside the window.

Because they had already passed the central area of Ziyu Mansion they had arrived at earlier.

They had arrived at a location deeper inside.

As far as the eye could see, there was lush greenery.

And dotted among them were several villas.

Each villa had a different exterior.

This perfectly matched the information she had gathered about Ziyu Mansion earlier.

"Sure enough, every villa here has a uniquely styled renovation."

"I wonder how Brother Shen has decorated his house."

Chen Xiaoran's heart was filled with a bit more anticipation.

[Ding!]

[When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you!]

[Ignorant young girl, are you prepared to sink into the abyss?]

[Congratulations, Host, the meal has been set on the table!]

"It seems this girl is truly inexperienced in the world."

"No wonder she was scammed by her agency so badly back then that she still hasn't recovered!"

Thinking of how Chen Xiaoran didn't dare to buy a bag worth tens of thousands of yuan.

This made Shen Zhou feel a pang of pity in his heart.

After all, this woman was not some college student from a poor family.

But a minor celebrity who had already gotten a foothold in the entertainment industry!

Shen Zhou turned his head and noticed that Chen Xiaoran seemed to have become even more charming at this moment.

That pair of lively eyes kept scanning the scenery around them.

Her face was full of longing.

As if she were looking forward to a wonderful future.

But soon, Chen Xiaoran, having snapped out of her daze, looked at Shen Zhou with a somewhat dejected expression.

"What's wrong? Little girl."

Shen Zhou asked, holding the steering wheel with one hand.

"Brother Shen, you've spent so much on me; will I really be able to help you in the future?"

Chen Xiaoran suddenly realized.

A big shot like Shen Zhou, who doesn't even care about a property worth over 40 million.

How could he possibly need her, a minor celebrity, to help him?

"You can help."

"Besides, I don't think you're ordinary."

Shen Zhou naturally swept his gaze over Chen Xiaoran's long, straight legs wrapped in jeans.

Immediately, Chen Xiaoran clutched the hem of her shirt, and her gaze began to turn strange.

She could indeed help Shen Zhou.

After all, she still had a young and beautiful body.

"Is this girl really about to give away her first time today?"

"But... if it's Brother Shen, maybe it wouldn't be that bad!"

Since she had already chosen to enter the entertainment industry, she was naturally prepared for such things.
