111: Xie Wan is here again.

After they finished eating, Shen Qian drove Song Shulu back to her dormitory.

"Thank you, Shen Qian. I had a wonderful time today as well."

The woman said, sitting in the passenger seat as the atmosphere between them grew ambiguous.

"Is she thinking of...?" Sensing Song Shulu slowly leaning in, Shen Qian immediately realized what was happening. His mind raced, considering the pros and cons of the following actions and how they would impact his future plans.

There was no desire in his mind, only calculation.

The final conclusion was...

"I can make her hooked, but not too hooked."

Thinking this, Shen Qian took the initiative, giving her a quick peck on the lips before pulling away immediately.

It was supposed to be a romantic atmosphere, but Shen Qian's move made it a bit awkward.

"Sorry, Shulu. You're so beautiful, I couldn't help myself."

"It's... it's okay. Don't do that next time."

The woman hurriedly opened the car door and rushed into the dormitory building, not even saying goodbye to Shen Qian.

"Don't do that next time? Heh, once you're back in your room savoring the memory, you'll be wishing I'd do it again."

Bang!

The sound of the dormitory door slamming startled Ma Wanwan, who was busy watching a drama.

"What's wrong with you? Is a ghost chasing you?"

"No, it's nothing."

"You don't look like it's nothing. Let me guess... no, the timing doesn't match. With your 'Chaste Lady' personality, there's no way you'd go get a room right after going out. "

I get it. You guys kissed, didn't you? Looking at you, he must have initiated it, right?"

"Yeah."

"Look at how you're blushing. Well? Did you feel the spark of youth again? Is your heart pounding? Were you scared yet excited?"

"Stop it. It's all your fault for talking nonsense."

"I bet that kid is holding back big time. He probably got the hint when I mentioned the lingerie set, but he was afraid of being disrespectful to you, so he held out until the end."

Ma Wanwan continued her bold remarks, while Song Shulu remained dazed, recalling that moment. It indeed felt very innocent. Could it be... it was his first kiss?

Shen Qian didn't go back to his dorm; instead, he called Guo Shuangcai directly.

With 2 million, he could suppress Tao Yan, boost Ni Zixin, attract Guo Shuangcai, and hook Song Shulu. He originally just wanted to stretch one sum of money three ways, but who knew it would serve four purposes? Plus, with his cashback card, this money was spent very well!

"Hello." The call was answered quickly.

"Senior, remember what I said a few days ago about buying instruments?"

"Oh, that. You didn't contact me for several days after that, so I thought you'd dropped it."

"Let's meet and talk in detail."

"Okay, I'm at the library. Come pick me up."

The blue bmw soon arrived at the library. Guo Shuangcai waved and got in.

"Where to?"

"Just the cafe outside the school. No need to go far."

"Alright."

They soon arrived at the cafe.

"So, what instrument do you want to buy?"

"A piano."

"A piano? I thought you played the violin?"

"It's not for me. I'm donating it to the school—specifically to the School of Arts. The budget is around 1.2 million. I've checked, and a steinway costs about a million or so."

"Spending over a million on a piano to donate to the school? Why?"

"Senior, just help me buy the piano. If you don't have the connections, I know a teacher at an Arts School. As for why... that's a bit personal. "

But don't worry, I won't let your help go unrewarded."

For Guo Shuangcai, who had been filtering through Second-generation rich guys at school, how could she not know where her competitors were?

The moment Shen Qian mentioned the School of Arts, a name popped into her head: Tao Yan.

But Tao Yan had a Boyfriend.

"So he wants to give silently and impress Tao Yan?

Spending over a million in one go—quite the grand gesture. He drives a 200,000-yuan car himself, but he's certainly not stingy when it comes to spending on women."

Guo Shuangcai pondered, feeling somewhat disdainful. Men were all the same; she was right here, yet this guy was actually interested in a woman who has a Boyfriend.

"Hmph, a simp."

Shen Qian didn't know she had labeled him a simp. He was waiting for someone to arrive.

Soon, a beautiful figure walked into the cafe. She walked briskly, heading straight for Shen Qian.

She didn't speak upon arrival, but pulled out a chair and sat down at Shen Qian's table.

Guo Shuangcai was stunned, her expression shifting as she looked at the newcomer.

"First Feng Qinmian, and now Senior Guo. Shen Qian, you have quite the charm!"

Her voice grew colder, her eyes sharp as knives, as if she wanted to tear this scumbag to pieces.

Shen Qian frowned.

"Are you stalking me? No, I was driving. How did you follow? Did you put a tracker on my car!?"

"Who's stalking you? I was just out for a night run and happened to see you two here."

"I'm discussing business with Senior. Don't cause trouble."

Xie Wan remained unmoved, quietly looking at Shen Qian and then glancing at Guo Shuangcai.

"What's going on? Why is Xie Wan here?

And what was that about Feng Qinmian? Is Xie Wan chasing him?

Is that even possible? Who is Xie Wan? She's cold as ice. How could she be chasing him!"

Amidst her shock, Guo Shuangcai's view of Shen Qian changed. If he was silently pursuing Tao Yan, he was a simp. But if Xie Wan was interested in him and he was still pursuing Tao Yan, then Shen Qian was an absolute treasure.

Regardless of why Xie Wan was here, the priority was to get her to leave.

"Xie Wan, Junior Shen and I have business to discuss. You're interrupting us."

"Is that so? My apologies then."

Xie Wan replied coldly, but she didn't budge an inch.

"Junior Shen, I recall you have a partner, so what is she to you?"

"Xie Wan, stop it. We really have business."

"I'll just listen in. If it's business, what's there to hide?"

"Aren't you being unreasonable?"

Suddenly, Xie Wan smiled, leaving Guo Shuangcai dazed. Does this woman even know how to smile? In her experience, Xie Wan was cold to everyone, let alone smiling—sometimes she wouldn't even acknowledge people.

"Yes, I'm being unreasonable. What are you going to do about it?

Are you going to hit a girl?"

Hearing Xie Wan say such things, Guo Shuangcai re-evaluated Shen Qian. This guy must have some charms she wasn't aware of, something perhaps more precious than being wealthy.

He was already very handsome, and spending a million on a girl proved his wealth. So what else did he have?

The seed of curiosity was finally sown in her heart.
