50: Preparing a surprise

Just as Wang Chen and Du Ruoxi held hands and the atmosphere was heating up, a crisp notification sound that only Wang Chen could hear rang in his mind.

[Ding! Detected that the target character Du Ruoxi has felt the host's sincere affection. Intimacy +5, current intimacy 90!]

[Congratulations to the host for reaching an intimacy level of 90 with Du Ruoxi! A mysterious grand gift has been awarded and sent to the system space. Please check it, host!]

Wang Chen's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm on the outside, still looking at Du Ruoxi affectionately while his consciousness had already entered the system space.

"Youyou, where's my reward?" As soon as he entered, Wang Chen couldn't wait to call for Youyou.

No sooner had he spoken than Youyou suddenly appeared out of nowhere. With a wave of her magic wand, three cards appeared before Wang Chen.

Opening the first card, it showed a red supercar—a Ferrari SF90 Stradale!

An imperceptible smile tugged at the corner of Wang Chen's mouth. This car came at the perfect time; wasn't it suitable as one of the surprises for Ruoxi? Worth over six million? Pocket change!

Next, he opened the second card, which was a Master-level Massage Technique skill card!

The moment his hand touched the card, a flood of information regarding human meridians, acupoints, muscles, bones, and various massage techniques rushed into Wang Chen's mind!

Wang Chen felt as if his hands had been instantly granted magic. Countless techniques that could make a tired body relax instantly or even feel like it was floating on air surfaced in his mind.

He couldn't help but tease, "Youyou, are you trying to get me to open a massage parlor specifically to treat the backaches of pretty young ladies and aunts?"

...As for the third card, he drew 900 million in God-tier Experience Funds! Although he still hadn't drawn the 999.9 billion, this 900 million made his pocket money even more abundant.

"Yang Yang? What's wrong?" Seeing Wang Chen's eyes wandering and his grip on her hand tightening slightly, Du Ruoxi asked with concern.

Wang Chen instantly snapped back to reality, suppressed the wild joy in his heart, and shook his head with a smile. "Nothing, I'm just so happy it feels like a dream."

He let go of her hand and started helping Du Ruoxi tidy up the wrapping paper and gift boxes scattered on the floor. In the middle of it, while Du Ruoxi wasn't looking, he quickly pulled out his phone and sent a message to the wechat group named "Anti-Chen Alliance."

"Emergency notice! The surprise has been received, and the content is too shocking; I need to digest it alone. My four concubines, return to your palaces for now. Let me settle Ruoxi first, and I'll summon you for an audience in a few days! You are dismissed! (Fist-palm salute)"

As soon as the message was sent, the group exploded.

Yang Li: "??? Sister Ruoxi is here? And you're just dismissing us like that? Brother Chen, you're burning bridges!"

Qin Qing: "Alright, hubby, you should accompany Sister Ruoxi properly."

He Li: "Waiting for Brother Chen's follow-up report! (Eating popcorn)"

Xiang Tingting: "It looks like the surprise was quite substantial. Good luck, Brother Chen! (Giggle)"

Wang Chen looked at the messages flooding the screen, smiled helplessly, and quickly set the group to 'Do Not Disturb.'

Once everything was tidied up, Wang Chen looked at Du Ruoxi and asked seriously, "Ruoxi, what are your plans for coming to Yi City this time? Are you planning to visit for a few days, or...?"

Du Ruoxi brushed back the stray hairs on her forehead and said with a firm gaze, "Yang Yang, I plan to settle down in Yi City. I'll continue live streaming; it's my hobby and the career I want to pursue. I want to prove my value through my own efforts." She paused, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Maybe I'm being a bit silly, but that's what I think."

Hearing this, the admiration in Wang Chen's eyes deepened. What he liked was precisely Du Ruoxi's independence and resilience.

He took the opportunity to suggest his idea. "How is that silly? I fully support you! Since you want to keep live streaming and focus on the ancient style, why don't we make it bigger? How about opening an Ancient Style Culture Studio?"

"We can recruit girls who also love the ancient style and have talent and potential, then provide professional training. The content doesn't have to be limited to live streaming; it can also involve Hanfu design, traditional culture promotion, short video production, and even small performances. I'll provide the venue and startup capital, and you manage the operations. This way, you can achieve your dream and help more girls with the same hobby. What do you think?"

Du Ruoxi's eyes lit up instantly! This idea was exactly what she had in mind! She had thought about these things before but lacked the resources and confidence. Now, Wang Chen not only gave his full support but also provided such a clear plan!

"Really? Yang Yang! You... you're willing to support me in doing this?" Du Ruoxi grabbed Wang Chen's arm excitedly, her eyes full of excitement.

"Of course! Your dream is my investment direction!" Wang Chen affirmed with a smile. "Then it's settled! We'll plan the studio details slowly. The priority is for you to settle in first."

He looked around the apartment and said without blinking, "I bought this apartment a while ago and it's been vacant. Everything is new. Just stay here for now and treat it as your home in Yi City. It can also serve as your temporary live streaming site and the preparation base for the future studio."

Du Ruoxi nodded, moved, without a hint of doubt.

Afterward, the two went to the hotel where Du Ruoxi had previously checked in to retrieve her luggage. After returning to the new home, they began to set it up with great interest, mainly choosing a room with good lighting and suitable space as a temporary live streaming area.

After being busy for several hours, seeing the night deepen outside the window, Wang Chen, though reluctant, spoke up: "Ruoxi, you're exhausted today. Get some rest early. I'll come over to accompany you tomorrow, and we can properly plan the studio matters."

Du Ruoxi did feel tired. Coupled with her shyness as a girl, although she was reluctant to let Wang Chen go and hoped he could stay with her a bit longer, their relationship hadn't been officially established yet, so she was too embarrassed to ask him to stay. She just nodded obediently: "Okay, then be careful on your way back."

Wang Chen saw the attachment in her eyes, making him even more determined to give her an official and romantic confession as soon as possible. He gave Du Ruoxi a light hug before turning to leave.

Leaving the neighborhood, Wang Chen didn't go back immediately. Instead, he parked the car by the roadside, took out his phone, and found Liu Yan's number.

The reason he looked for Liu Yan was, firstly, because she was the property manager and familiar with the villa area and surrounding resources, making it easy to get things done. Secondly, after their last encounter, he could feel that Liu Yan was a smart and capable woman. Asking for her help should save him a lot of trouble.

The call was quickly connected, and Liu Yan's voice, carrying a hint of surprise and charm, came through: "Mr. Wang? Good evening. How can I help you?"
