Who would go to a serious club?
Chen Dong was stunned for a moment; this deeply affectionate man, who had pursued Li Xiaoyu for ten years in his previous life, had finally managed to win her over in this life, only for the breakup to come so suddenly?
Although he had anticipated that the two of them would most likely not last, he truly hadn't expected them to break up in less than a month.
"How is it? Are you upset?"
"A little. Before I pursued her, she was a perfect goddess in my heart. She was aloof and arrogant, stunningly beautiful, and every movement was full of elegance and beauty.
But only after we were truly together did I realize that it was just my fantasy, a perfect image I had created for myself in my mind."
Hu Wei sighed twice and continued to recount,
"I really didn't expect how overly dramatic she could be every single day.
She would check up on me seventeen or eighteen times a day. During meetings, she would call me incessantly, and if I didn't answer three calls in a row, she would storm into the company to find me. The day before yesterday, I was in a meeting, and she actually burst into the conference room, which made me incredibly awkward.
Not only did she not trust me, but she also argued with Mei Qing Jie and Man Jie, saying that those two vixen were seducing me, which was why I ignored her..."
Chen Dong listened to Hu Wei recount Li Xiaoyu's bizarre anecdotes for ten minutes as if listening to a TV drama script, then comforted him with a few words.
"Dongzi, it's not that I'm truly that sad. It's just completely beyond my expectation. It turns out the goddess I pursued for four years was such a thing. Four years of youth, truly wasted on a dog."
Chen Dong chuckled, muttering to himself: In the previous life, you pursued her for ten years, and you didn't even succeed. If it weren't for me this time, how could you have taken her first time so easily!
"Haha, don't be sad. Out with the bad, in with the good. If you're feeling down about anything, find a club and relax."
"Dongzi, is this club you're talking about legitimate?"
"Bah, what legitimate person goes to a legitimate club..."
Waking up in the morning, Chen Dong finished his ablutions, put on his sportswear, and ran a few laps outside. Last night, he accompanied Xia Xuehan for a walk, and it was a bit late when they returned.
The more money he had, the more Chen Dong realized that good health was an incredibly valuable invisible asset; without a good body, no amount of money was useful.
Currently, Chen Dong, whether in cash or assets, could already be considered a genuine tycoon. He might not be comparable to those great aristocratic families, but he was absolutely among the top tier in Dragon Country. The only thing he lacked was connections.
After taking a shower and changing into dry clothes, Chen Dong hummed a tune as he arrived at Su Yurou's home.
When he pushed open the door, Chen Dong instantly froze in place—
Su Yurou was feeding her child breakfast, her loose loungewear lifted, and a maternal glow radiated from her fair skin.
Fortunately, Aunt Wang, the nanny, was cleaning upstairs at the moment; otherwise, even the warm and uninhibited Su Yurou would have been mortified.
Su Yurou quickly got up and walked towards a small room on the first floor. Chen Dong silently followed her.
It was a little boy, almost six months old, sculpted like jade and very cute, bearing a striking seven or eight-tenths resemblance to Su Yurou. He would definitely be a handsome man when he grew up.
"What's the child's name?" Chen Dong pinched his nose, asking awkwardly. He had been competing with him for milk for so many days and still didn't know his competitor's name.
"His name is Su Yu."
"He's very cute, and he looks a lot like you."
"Of course, how could my son not look like me?"
"Sister Yurou, from now on, let him call me Papa, okay?"
Chen Dong gently put his arm around Su Yurou's shoulder, saying affectionately.
"You wish. Are you planning to live with me like this, in a muddled way, and have me be your mistress forever?"
Su Yurou rolled her eyes at Chen Dong, knowing that his calculations were 'clattering' loudly in his mind. But to be honest, she actually had such an idea.
After a failed marriage, her mindset had changed significantly. Coupled with Chen Dong's tenderness, which constantly soothed her psychological and physiological emptiness, all of this truly made her infinitely captivated.
Especially Chen Dong's face, the more she looked at it, the more fascinated she became.
"Look at what you're saying. What mistress or not, how vulgar." Chen Dong pinched Su Yurou's delicate nose,
"This is true love between us, building our little home together. Most importantly, I'm afraid that if you marry another man, what if he treats the little one badly and asks you to have one or two more children with him? Then how pitiful Su Yu would be later."
Su Yurou lowered her head in silence. This was also a concern of hers. Marry again? Which man would agree to raise another person's child? He would definitely want to have another one with her. What about Su Yu then? It was foreseeable that his childhood would be very miserable.
"Then will you treat Su Yu well?"
"Of course, I will treat him like my own son. If you want to have more children, we'll work harder to give him a younger brother or sister; if you don't want more children, just this one is fine. When I'm not with you, I'll let him protect you, and when I come back, I'll protect both of you..."
Su Yurou's eyes were slightly red, feeling a little emotional.
The little one, having eaten his fill, showed a happy smile and then fell soundly asleep again.
Su Yurou placed the child in the crib and led Chen Dong out by the hand.
After breakfast, it was still early, only 8:30 AM.
Su Yurou rested her chin on her hands, watching Chen Dong finish his porridge and noodles, subtle flames flickering in her clear, beautiful eyes.
...............
"Aunt Wang, please watch the baby and tidy up the dining table. Mr. Chen and I will be discussing business cooperation upstairs. Just call me if anything comes up."
Su Yurou pulled Chen Dong by the hand and ran up the stairs, not forgetting to instruct Aunt Wang, the nanny.
"Oh, this project worth over a billion, you two discuss it from time to time. Being young is great, and this Chen Shao's physical condition is really excellent. That Young Master Qi before, I saw he was very weak, no wonder Miss Su looks so much better recently..."
Aunt Wang murmured softly as she tidied the table. Of course, she would only mumble a few words here; once she left this door, her lips were very sealed, and she would never say a word out of turn.
At 9:30 AM, Chen Dong, supporting his waist, left Su Yurou's house. That girl was too enthusiastic, inviting him to drink milk and eat seafood, and also giving him a warm welcome, which truly made Chen Dong a bit overwhelmed.
He went home, drank a large glass of warm water with goji berries, changed his clothes, rested for ten minutes, and then drove out.
At the entrance of Shuxiang Mingdi, Luo Qiyuan and Xia Xuehan stood under a tree, holding parasols, waiting.
"Xuehan, why isn't Son-in-law here yet?"
"Mom, didn't you just hear? Dongzi Ge clearly told us to come downstairs in ten minutes. You rushed down without stopping, are you expecting Dongzi Ge to fly over?"
"I was just afraid of making Son-in-law wait too long."
A blush quietly crept onto Xia Xuehan's pretty face. Hearing her mother call him 'Son-in-law' repeatedly made her heart feel as sweet as honey, but a maiden's modesty and shyness made her instinctively feel a hint of embarrassment.
