36: Chapter 36 Growing Up

In the room, the temperature gradually rose. After a long while...

Shen Muyan lay on the bed, her eyes hazy, as if she had cried: "Luochuan... how many are in this box?"

"10! Are we going to use them all?"

"Stop messing around... I beg you! Let's just use one more and call it a night."

"Haha... alright then..."

The next morning. The two slept until very late before getting up.

The hotel delivered a sumptuous breakfast: freshly baked croissants, eggs benedict, cold cuts and cheese. There was also juice, coffee, Suzhou-style noodles, and soup dumplings...

Tang Luochuan got up first; the girl was still lying down, exposing her smooth back. Because she hadn't brought pajamas...

He thoughtfully covered her with the quilt.

In the living room, he portioned out the food, setting aside a portion specifically for the girl.

He checked his account; the new 100 million had arrived! Immediately, he transferred 3.99 million to his mother.

His mother, Zhu Xiumei, obviously received the phone notification quickly. She called immediately.

"Luochuan, what's going on? Where did you get this money?"

"Mom, I was just about to tell you, I won the lottery! 5 million, I got 4 million after taxes! I kept 10,000 for myself, and the rest is all for you."

"The lottery??"

Zhu Xiumei's first reaction was to believe it, because there was no other explanation. If her son had transferred 399 yuan, claiming it was from a part-time job, she could understand. But 3.99 million... A 18-year-old boy! How could he earn that much in a few days?

"Won the lottery... Heavens... this... child... oh my goodness..."

Zhu Xiumei was clearly shocked by such a large sum of money, somewhat incoherent. After a while, she managed to compose herself: "You must keep the money safe. You kept 10,000, right? Remember, don't show off your wealth!"

Her first thought was still of her son, reminding him.

Tang Luochuan laughed: "I know, Mom, you keep it! Don't work so hard with Dad anymore..."

"I know, I know! I'll tell your dad in a bit."

"Where's Dad?"

"He hasn't gotten up yet! Luochuan, this three million-plus... this is great! Mom will save it for you, and we'll buy a bigger house later! If you want to stay in Shanghai, it's enough for a down payment!!"

The two chatted for a while about the lottery and the 3.99 million.

Zhu Xiumei added: "How have you been lately? Are you adjusting well?"

"I'm adjusting fine. Your son has a very strong ability to adapt! I've also made a lot of good friends..."

"That's good. How about your studies? Any pressure?"

"None at all! I... am very relaxed!"

He was essentially kicked back, playing all day; how could he not be relaxed?

"As expected of my Luochuan, my son is just excellent! You've grown into an adult in an instant!" Zhu Xiumei was very gratified; the impact of the 3.99 million was not small. But she cared more about her own flesh and blood, after all, he came from her own body.

"That's right! I grew into an adult overnight..." Tang Luochuan said meaningfully, stealing a glance at the bedroom: "I've even been helping a classmate."

"That's so kind?"

"For sure, I also helped my classmate grow into an adult... they matured overnight!"

"Stop bragging! You brat, don't get cocky! Be steady and work hard."

"How is this bragging? It's true! Yesterday my senior kept saying I was amazing, and I mean really amazing! Amazing to the point of being incredible..."

Speaking of this, Tang Luochuan laughed: "Alright Mom, don't worry, everything is great for me!"

"Alright, hearing you in such a good state, Mom is relieved. Oh? Your dad is up, I'm hanging up now..."

"Alright!" Tang Luochuan gave a wry smile and hung up. His old man was always like this; whenever it was a holiday, he would definitely sleep in.

It wasn't until nearly noon that Shen Muyan got up. The breakfast had long gone cold; the girl got dressed, her face pale.

"Are you alright, Shen Muyan..."

"I'm fine, it's just..." Shen Muyan pressed on her waist: "My waist hurts!"

"Then just stay here for the next two days, and I'll take you back tomorrow afternoon?"

"No, I... I..." Shen Muyan was conflicted; this situation actually felt quite good. But she couldn't handle it for now; if this brat came again tonight, she felt she wouldn't need to attend classes for the next week.

"Didn't you also make plans with Jiang Jinyue?" Shen Muyan sat by the table.

Tang Luochuan ordered room service again, having the hotel send over hot food: "Right, what do you think?"

"You don't need to worry about that; Jiang Jinyue is very nice! We get along well, and I will handle it! If she... accepts you, she should be prepared too."

Tang Luochuan held the girl's hand: "I promised you, don't worry! I will definitely do it."

"Mm! I believe in you!"

Only Shen Muyan ate lunch, but she really couldn't leave even if she wanted to.

Tang Luochuan had made arrangements with Jiang Jinyue to eat lunch together.

"Rest here this afternoon, don't leave! Stay with me for two more days, and I'll come pick you up in the afternoon so we can go to the night market together and watch the drones."

"But... I... my waist really hurts." Shen Muyan felt a little aggrieved, hinting that she couldn't handle any more tossing.

Tang Luochuan laughed: "I know, get some rest. I... won't mess around anymore."

But he thought to himself: "Heh, of course I'm going to mess around with someone else."

The car started; there were quite a few people coming to hang out today. Zhang Ming, Zhou Qi, and Jiang Jinyue, plus two roommates.

However, Tang Luochuan still drove the Lamborghini; even with those two porsche, neither could fit so many people. He told the others to just take a taxi.

The colorful Lamborghini Aventador parked at the entrance. Jiang Jinyue had just arrived with her roommates and Zhang Ming.

Thinking of this brat's 'nonsense' from yesterday, she blushed uncontrollably.

"Wow, a Lamborghini..." Su Yuanyuan's eyes widened: "Hey, just look at it, the passenger seat is yours, right?"

As she said this, she nudged Jiang Jinyue with her elbow.

The latter didn't react; she walked over quickly, and her first sentence was: "Where is the senior? I have something to say to her."

Tang Luochuan paused for two seconds: "Perfect, I'll take you to see her this afternoon! She has something to say to you too!"

"I understand, and she understands too! Actually, there's no need to say much, I just don't know if you understand?"

"What do you mean understand or not? Do you understand about eating candy and getting a hotel room??"

Facing Jiang Jinyue, Tang Luochuan didn't use ambiguous flirting; it was entirely with a rogue demeanor.

Because she was different from Shen Muyan; Shen Muyan was a senior, but a soft, womanly type. A rogue demeanor would make her disgusted, so acting like a 'puppy boyfriend' was the best choice to trigger her maternal instincts.

But Jiang Jinyue was a cold, high-status heroine. To make her speechless, one could only act like a rogue. Acting like a 'puppy boyfriend' in front of her?? She would only treat you like trash...

Call her 'Sister'? The response would definitely be: "Get lost, don't disgust me!"

You have to be able to suppress her with your aura to be able to handle her in the future.

Facing Tang Luochuan's 'shamelessness', Jiang Jinyue didn't hesitate; she had spent the whole night preparing: "Of course I know, kissing and sleeping! I am willing to be with you, but you also have to show your ability..."

"Hiss~~" Tang Luochuan stepped back: "Alright, classmate Jiang! I haven't seen you in one night, and you've grown up a lot."
