I'll be the woman behind you

Under the guidance of the security guard, Shen Xingyue arrived outside Chen Dong's villa, the gate of which had already been opened by Chen Dong using a remote control.

Shen Xingyue stepped directly inside, and what greeted her eyes were the three cars in the villa.

As Miss Shen of the Shen Family, although she did not particularly like luxury cars and watches, her basic knowledge far surpassed that of ordinary people, so she naturally recognized the three cars at a glance.

This Chen Dong was indeed wealthy; spending thirty to forty million on cars was something even her father would have to consider carefully, especially since Anren Group did not belong solely to her father.

Stepping into the villa, Chen Dong was sitting on the sofa, leaning back against a cushion, with a confident and brilliant smile on his face.

This man was truly handsome; even Shen Xingyue, who had always disdained men, found his face to possess a unique charm.

"Miss Shen's presence truly brings glory to my humble abode."

Chen Dong smiled as he rose from the sofa and poured Shen Xingyue a glass of water.

Although Shen Xingyue's resolve was somewhat swayed by Chen Dong's charm, her face remained calm and unperturbed, showing neither joy nor sorrow, as if nothing in this world could cause her great elation or despair.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen." Shen Xingyue's voice was clear and pleasant, and her face was extremely beautiful; if she could also show a sweet smile, she would definitely charm a large number of men.

Unfortunately, she seemed incapable of smiling; her expression remained consistent and unmoving.

Chen Dong was not in a hurry; he continued to sit on the sofa, holding his glass, which had many red goji berries floating in it.

Why not use a thermos? Brothers who have drunk hot water know that after half an hour in a thermos in summer, the water is still scalding, so a glass is the most suitable.

"Mr. Chen pays great attention to health. Are you already drinking goji berries at such a young age?" It was impossible to tell whether Shen Xingyue was mocking or complimenting him, as her voice carried no emotion.

Chen Dong completely took it as a compliment, a meaningful smile appearing on his face as he pointed towards the kitchen.

"Miss Shen, look—with so many gentle and virtuous beauties constantly surrounding me, which man doesn't need a little goji to boost himself, wouldn't you agree?"

There was no shyness, nor any hint of anger; she was completely unfazed by Chen Dong's lecherous smile.

"Mr. Chen, I have some private matters I'd like to discuss with you alone. Is it convenient to go to the study?"

"No problem, let's go upstairs." Chen Dong was also very curious. He had just had Xu Wanying acquire two garment factories from Shen Wanhua, and now his daughter immediately came knocking. Was she here to bring warmth, or did she want the garment factories back?

It must be said that Shen Xingyue was indeed very beautiful, but if she thought she could rely on her beauty to make Chen Dong spit out what he had already swallowed, she was mistaken.

What did a beautiful woman count for compared to money? If I have enough money, what kind of beauty can't I find? Perhaps I could even find Zhu Lin, who played the role of the Queen of Women's Kingdom, though she's a bit old, but I could find her daughter.

Bah! Where did my thoughts wander off to? Chen Dong quickly pulled his mind back.

"Miss Shen, please sit." Chen Dong unceremoniously plopped down on the study sofa, anticipating Shen Xingyue's intentions but not rushing.

"Mr. Chen, I want to cooperate with you."

"Cooperate?" Knowing that Shen Xingyue came to see him, Chen Dong had many thoughts, but he never expected this woman to seek cooperation.

After all, no matter how powerful Chen Dong's network team was, these core secrets of the Shen Family could not be uncovered by him in a short time.

Especially the conflicts between Shen Xingyue and her brother and father; not to mention outsiders, even other core members of the Shen Family should be unaware.

Such private matters would certainly not be brought out into the open; usually, the three of them appeared harmonious and amiable.

"I wonder how Miss Shen wishes to cooperate?" Cooperate with me? Are you sure you're not trying to trick me? This was Chen Dong's inner thought at the moment.

"I will provide you with information about the Shen Family, act as your informant, and you will help me seize control of the Shen Family."

Pfft! Chen Dong almost spat out a mouthful of vintage '82 blood. What kind of outrageous words were these!

To be honest, from beginning to end, Chen Dong had no overly eager desire to bring down the Shen Family or anything similar; as long as they didn't provoke him, peaceful coexistence was fine.

Chen Dong knew that if he really went to war with the Shen Family, he might not lose much if he failed, but if the Shen Family were to collapse, then a large number of people, especially the interest groups behind the Shen Family, would immediately jump out to stop him.

Pressure was a minor issue; they might even try to find ways to make things difficult for him. Many people wanted the Shen Family to fall, but not a few also depended on the Shen Family for their livelihood.

"What's in it for me if I help you seize control of the Shen Family?" Chen Dong spread his hands, implying, 'So you want me to work for you?'

"I will be the woman behind you, belonging only to you for this life.

The children we have will be the future successors of the Shen Family. How is that any different from you controlling the Shen Family?"

Pfft! Chen Dong felt his little heart couldn't take it; he patted his chest and took two breaths. What kind of outrageous words were these!

"To ensure I'm not lying, I can give myself to you right now, and you can even record a video. If I go back on my word later, you can use this to threaten me."

Shen Xingyue spoke as if she wasn't discussing a major matter involving her personal integrity, but rather debating whether the cabbage at the morning market was expensive or not, or if its quality was good.

To show her sincerity, Shen Xingyue took two steps closer to Chen Dong, gripped the bottom edge of her top with both hands, and gently pulled it up, causing the hem of her shirt to come out of her skirt.

Her next movement clearly indicated she was about to take off her top directly.

"No, no, no, stop right there." Chen Dong quickly pressed down on Shen Xingyue's hands.

"You believe me?" Shen Xingyue's heart was actually pounding fiercely. No matter how calm she usually was, facing such an embarrassing situation, it was impossible for her to have no emotional fluctuations at all. It was just that compared to most people, she appeared bolder and more indifferent.

"Miss Shen, if you really want to offer yourself, you should choose a good time. Three beauties are waiting for me to eat downstairs. Are we going to finish the battle in three minutes?

I think that's extremely disrespectful to a beautiful woman like you. For a beauty like you, I can't stop in less than an hour.

How about this: tomorrow, you find a hotel, book a room, and then call me. I'll come over and we can talk properly about the cooperation. How does that sound?"

For twenty-three years, Shen Xingyue showed a hint of annoyance and shyness for the first time.

"Oh, so our Miss Shen also has a temper. I thought you were a Bodhisattva, without any emotions or desires."

Chen Dong burst out laughing, resisting the urge to pinch Shen Xingyue's delicate nose.

"Miss Shen, since we're discussing cooperation, you need to offer something substantial. The promise you made holds no attraction for me."
