After a Failed Blind Date, a Rich Woman Tries to Get Into My Heart - Chapter 72

Late at night, under the twinkling stars.

In the Jiujian Tang villa area—the most luxurious neighborhood in Jianghai City, where real estate prices are the highest in the country—there’s no doubt about it! Everyone living here is either super rich or famous. If you’re not a billionaire, you’re a big celebrity.

In the A zone of Jiujian Tang, the most exclusive part of the area, sits an incredibly stunning standalone villa. The design of this villa is exquisite, with every detail showcasing the owner’s taste and style. Huge floor-to-ceiling windows let the desolate moonlight pour into the room, illuminating the lavish interior.

In the living room, there’s a luxurious set of sofas and a coffee table, and the walls are adorned with valuable artworks, making it feel like a temple of art. In the large, empty space, a tall girl with an obsessed smile lounges comfortably on the sofa, playing with a recently popular social app, chatting with a new online friend.

Her every expression and smile radiate the wealth and laziness of someone privileged. Her eyebrows are long and curved like willow leaves, her eyes bright and sparkling like stars, and her silky black hair cascades over her shoulders. Her fair, delicate feet rest on the edge of the sofa, and the rhythm of her tapping on the phone screen adds a playful, cute touch.

This girl is Ye Yinan, the daughter of Jianghai City’s richest man, Ye Hai.

Ye Yinan was sent abroad for education at a young age. Just last week, her parents called her back to the country, and today, she moved into this standalone villa that they had spent a fortune building for her. But to Ye Yinan, this villa—worth tens of millions—is just another gilded cage limiting her freedom.

As the only child, Ye Yinan has been the apple of her parents’ eyes, living a pampered life from birth. Because she’s the only heir of the richest man in the city, her parents have very high expectations for her. Ye Yinan was raised with various high-society skills and was only allowed to learn hobbies and skills deemed suitable for women.

Her parents strictly forbade her from getting involved in or learning about other areas. Their well-intentioned, overprotective upbringing produced a virtuous and outstanding daughter, but in many ways, Ye Yinan isn’t like a normal 20-year-old girl. She doesn’t even understand some basic common sense and would definitely get lost if left alone on the street.

So, her parents hired the most famous psychologist for her. After a month of treatment, the psychologist told them clearly that Ye Yinan was suffering from severe depression. Her mental health was extremely fragile, and she needed a very quiet environment for solitary treatment. If things continued like this, her condition could likely turn into full-blown depression.

Upon hearing this, her parents immediately relaxed their control over her, only assigning a few bodyguards for protection.

This is why Ye Yinan can openly play with this highly private social app in the living room.

This is something she never even dared to imagine before.

After returning to the country, Ye Yinan originally just wanted to kill time by scrolling through Douyin, but then she came across an ad for this social app.

To others, Ye Yinan might seem very aloof, like someone you can only admire from afar. But inside, she desperately craves interaction with others—wanting to share her experiences and frustrations about her parents. With this strong desire to express herself, Ye Yinan downloaded the app and started her internet social journey.

Her first chat match happened to be Shen Lang.

After exchanging just a few messages, Ye Yinan became completely absorbed in their conversations and couldn’t get enough.

Later, Shen Lang’s replies started getting slower and slower, sometimes taking minutes to respond, which frustrated Ye Yinan, who had a strong urge to share.

Since childhood, Ye Yinan’s friends have never neglected her; they always found ways to get close and flatter her.

Shen Lang’s deliberate neglect gave Ye Yinan a strange feeling of being let down.

So, Ye Yinan noticed the tipping feature in the chat box.

She chose the most expensive tip and clicked it dozens of times to summon Shen Lang back.

Just now, Ye Yinan used a pleading tone to add Shen Lang on WeChat and sent a message eagerly.

Sea Island Snow: “Hi, are you online?”

After sending the polite message, Ye Yinan felt a bit nervous.

As for why she was nervous, Ye Yinan couldn’t quite explain—but she really cared about this stranger.

Downstairs Wind: “Whoa! A rich girl has appeared! {pervert}”

Shen Lang’s quirky reply completely flustered the serious Ye Yinan.

Sea Island Snow: “Why are you calling me a rich girl? {confused}”

Shen Lang directly sent Ye Yinan’s selfie from her Moments, saying:

Downstairs Wind: “Is this you? You’re Ye Yinan, the daughter of Jianghai City’s richest man, right?”

Ye Yinan wasn’t used to people being so direct with her.

But with Shen Lang, she didn’t feel repelled at all.

Sea Island Snow: “Yes, that’s me. Please don’t tell anyone about my identity. My dad will be mad if he finds out.”

Downstairs Wind: “Damn, she really is a rich girl! {pervert}”

Sea Island Snow: “Please don’t make such a fuss {sweat}”

Downstairs Wind: “Whoa, rich girl wants a sugar daddy? {hugging rich girl’s leg}”

Sea Island Snow: “Are you asking for money?”

Having just returned to the country, Ye Yinan wasn’t familiar with some of the popular internet memes and thought Shen Lang was actually asking her for money.

Even if she knew these memes, no one would dare joke like that with her.

“Is this person really a fool?”

Shen Lang chuckled a bit and tentatively asked:

Downstairs Wind: “How much can you give?”

Sea Island Snow: “Anything.”

Downstairs Wind: “Damn, you rich people are really something! {angry}”

Ye Yinan didn’t understand why Shen Lang was suddenly upset and anxiously asked:

Sea Island Snow: “What’s wrong?”

Downstairs Wind: “What’s wrong?”

Sea Island Snow: “Why are you angry?”

“Seriously, is this person another Li Liusi?”

Shen Lang shook his head, laughing, and explained:

Downstairs Wind: “I’m just kidding.”

Sea Island Snow: “Oh, I see. Sorry, I grew up abroad and just came back recently, so I’m not very familiar with some things here.”

Downstairs Wind: “It’s okay, you’ll get used to it.”

Sea Island Snow: “Alright, so do you still want money?”

Downstairs Wind: “?”
