Chapter 26: Money-Making Plan

Liu Suyan’s voice trembled, “There must be over a hundred Beauty Pills here.”

Lu Qiwen, distracted by the feel of her smooth inner thigh, nodded absentmindedly.

Suddenly, Liu Suyan closed her legs, trapping his hand. She gently pulled it out and gave him a playful glare, “Stop teasing me.”

Watching her play with the jade bottles, Lu Qiwen asked, “Suyan, what do your parents do?”

She continued examining the bottles, “Both my parents are university professors. My father is in the art department, and my mother is in the history department.”

Lu Qiwen smiled, “No wonder you’re a teacher too. It runs in the family.”

She laughed, “Yes, I always admired my parents, so I became a teacher.”

He chuckled, “It’s a good thing you did. Otherwise, we might never have met. It must be fate.”

She rolled her eyes at him.

They sat together, having just broken through the barrier between them. Their relationship was now progressing rapidly, filled with the sweet talk of new lovers.

After a while, Lu Qiwen’s hand found its way to her breast, gently squeezing it. Liu Suyan’s face was flushed with desire, and she leaned into his embrace, occasionally letting out soft moans.

Enjoying the feel of her soft breast, he whispered in her ear, “Suyan, you have so many friends. Do you think we could sell some of these Beauty Pills to them?”

She absentmindedly agreed, then realized what he was suggesting and glared at him, as if he were trying to sell her treasures.

He laughed, “Don’t worry. Even if we sell them, I can always make more for you. As many as you want.”

Thinking it over, she said, “You promise? Then I want a hundred. Is that okay?”

He nodded, “Of course.”

Her face lit up with joy, “Great! I’ll help you sell some. My friends have been asking me to get them for ages, but I always refused.”

“Why?” he asked. “Was it too expensive?”

She blushed, “I was worried you didn’t have enough. But your price of ten thousand per pill is nothing to them. They spend even more on skincare products that aren’t nearly as effective.”

He nodded, “You know He Xuan is in the hospital. I need some money for her treatment. Sell as many as you can. After all, you’re going to be my housekeeper.”

He teased her by tweaking her nipple, making her gasp.

“Stop teasing me, or I won’t be able to resist,” she warned.

He sighed, “If you can’t resist, I’ll have to take you.”

She gave him a sultry look, “As long as you’re not afraid my parents will find out, go ahead.”

He reluctantly pulled his hand back and adjusted her towel to cover her exposed skin.

After spending more time together, he said, “It’s getting late. I should go check on He Xuan.”

She got up and headed to her room, “Wait a minute. I’ll change and go with you.”

He smiled, shaking his head. She was already acting like a girlfriend, wary of other women around him.

He was happy with the change. If she didn’t care, he would have doubted her feelings for him.

She soon returned, dressed in a pale yellow turtleneck sweater and black slacks, looking every bit the sophisticated, elegant woman.

Though he was used to her beauty, he still found himself momentarily stunned.

They left the apartment, and she casually linked her arm with his, smiling as they walked through the campus. They drew many surprised stares, but she didn’t seem to mind.

Once they were off campus and away from prying eyes, he sighed in relief. She laughed, “Nervous, were you?”

He nudged her breast playfully, “Of course. I just snagged the campus goddess. Didn’t you see the looks they were giving me? They wanted to tear me apart.”

She felt a twinge of pleasure and rolled her eyes, “Serves you right. If they knew you defiled their goddess, they’d kill you.”

He whispered in her ear, “Do you want me to bring home a statue? Who will I sleep with at night?”

Blushing, she pinched his waist, “Go sleep with a ghost.”

Laughing, he hailed a cab, and they headed to the hospital.

Meanwhile, in a grand estate nestled between green hills and clear waters, the Xue family residence stood imposing and majestic. The vast estate indicated immense wealth and power.

Xue Baitao, the head of the Xue family, was in the garden tending to the plants when he noticed his daughter, Xue Luan, walking by with a troubled expression.

He had always worried about her. Despite being a beautiful young woman, she had turned down many marriage proposals from prominent families.

Though the Xue family valued arranged marriages, both Xue Baitao and her mother doted on her and never forced her into anything. Her marriage had become a significant concern for the family, especially for Xue Baitao.

Seeing her so visibly upset was rare. He stood up and called out, “What’s wrong, Luan’er? Who’s been bullying you? Tell me, and I’ll break his legs.”
