Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 40: Self-Directed and Self-Acted?

"Don’t worry, I definitely won’t be late for something involving my girlfriend."

With his phone in hand, Su Mu naturally replied in a second.

He couldn’t let his girlfriend think he wasn’t taking her seriously, right?

"I’m going to sleep now. Make sure you get a perfect score tomorrow. Goodnight."

Plus a picture of a flying kiss.

"Received, I’ll give you a real one tomorrow."

Su Mu wasn’t satisfied with just a picture and took the opportunity to declare the favor he expected for tomorrow.

"Got it, goodnight."

Jiang Xinxuan sent back a shy picture, but she didn’t refuse.

And there was nothing to refuse, really, since she and Su Mu were boyfriend and girlfriend.

Normal intimate contact was, of course, expected.

"Goodnight"

Without his girlfriend to chat with, Su Mu started scrolling through his social media feed, a bit bored.

As expected

When he saw the latest update from his friends, Su Mu’s lips curled into a smile.

The Patek Philippe logo, a photo of Xia Shuya wearing the watch as she traveled, and that caption: "My dear gifted this to me, isn’t it beautiful?"

Of course, Su Mu couldn’t see the replies in Xia Shuya’s social media circle.

They didn’t share the same social circles after all.

But Xia Shuya’s own posts gave Su Mu a good laugh.

Did Su Mu even know if Xia Shuya was acting all on her own?

Or was she really replying to someone else?

Xia Shuya’s post went like this: "My dear insisted on gifting this to me, I really didn’t want it at first."

A few minutes passed

"It’s not that I’m worried about my dear spending money, you have no idea, my dear wears a Patek Philippe watch that’s worth over two million."

Another few minutes went by

"My dear wanted to buy me a matching couple’s watch, but I was afraid I’d damage it while dancing, so I picked a cheaper one." freēnovelkiss.com

And a few more minutes passed

"In my dear’s eyes, spending tens of thousands is like buying a toy watch. He said it’s so cheap, I can wear it however I like."

"If it gets broken, we’ll just buy another one."

Xia Shuya posted quite a bit, as if there were really that many people chasing after her for details.

Some things weren’t certain, but one thing Su Mu knew for sure.

The "my dear" Xia Shuya referred to in her posts was naturally himself.

It’s just that Su Mu had never said those things to Xia Shuya.

One could conclude that what Xia Shuya posted in her social media circle wasn’t very credible at all.

However, Su Mu didn’t care about Xia Shuya’s show-off; after all, both had their own agendas, right?

Having lost interest in browsing further, Su Mu set his alarm, switched his phone to silent mode, and went to sleep.

Before falling asleep, Su Mu reminisced a bit.

Xia Shuya’s scent was indeed quite nice.

He’d have to find more time for her in the future.

Once a man tastes something sweet, he’s somewhat inclined to be addicted.

Especially someone like Su Mu who was just coming into his own.

Not to mention Su Mu was blessed with such good stamina, right?

...

Early in the morning, the alarm clock did its job.

Without lingering in bed, Su Mu flipped over and sat up, swiftly getting ready.

"Grandpa, good morning."

Descending the stairs, Su Mu found Elder Su sitting at the dining table, though it was unclear whether he had yet to have breakfast,

or whether breakfast had just ended.

"You rascal, you’re up early today."

Seeing his spirited grandson, Elder Su couldn’t help but feel nostalgic: youth is wonderful.

"Young master, you’re awake?"

"I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare breakfast immediately."

Seeing the servant behind Ah Fook carrying a tray, Su Mu understood.

Elder Su hadn’t had his meal yet.

The breakfast for the grandfather and grandson was quite simple, mainly focused on nutrition.

After breakfast, Su Mu practiced a set of Tai Chi Fist with his grandfather.

Having agreed to meet Jiang Xinxuan, Su Mu informed his grandfather and prepared to leave.

"Young Master, that stock you asked me to buy didn’t fluctuate much yesterday, it basically broke even,"

Ah Fook reported to Su Mu on the performance of stock code 00078 before he left.

Ah Fook thought maybe it was because he was getting on in years, but he couldn’t see any potential in this stock.

Forget three consecutive daily limits, Ah Fook felt that it would be good enough if it rose by a few percentage points each day.

"You’ll know tomorrow."

Su Mu waved his hand, leaving Ah Fook with his dashing silhouette.

The system said two days later, isn’t that tomorrow?

It’s not yet time, naturally, there wouldn’t be any big movement.

After changing his clothes in his room, Su Mu had already asked Xiao Wang to get the car ready.

Because the time of his appointment with Four Eyes had passed.

Of course, Xiao Wang continued to follow the Young Master’s rules.

Watching the Bentley speeding away, Su Mu thought of the Bentley Mulsanne.

It seemed that car had more space, better suited for some "extreme" activities.

But that wasn’t for today; Su Mu got straight into the car, off to pick up his girlfriend.

Jiang Xinxuan dashed out of the house as soon as she received Su Mu’s message.

She didn’t wait long at the gate of the villa area before Su Mu’s car arrived.

Jiang Xinxuan had learned her lesson and didn’t stay put just because Su Mu had changed cars.

Looking through the car’s front window and seeing Xiao Wang, Jiang Xinxuan ran straight over.

There was no need for Su Mu to get out; she got into the car on her own.

The young couple hadn’t seen each other for over a day and were naturally a bit emotionally excited.

But with another person in the car, they managed to restrain themselves.

A proper kiss was all it was, no other intense actions followed.

Letting go of Jiang Xinxuan, Su Mu noticed his girlfriend’s dress was becoming more feminine.

The black bodycon dress perfectly outlined Jiang Xinxuan’s flawless figure.

Her hair was put up, revealing her slender neck and delicate collarbones.

The dress wasn’t very long, and sitting there, Jiang Xinxuan’s beautiful legs were fully exposed.

"Xiao Xuan, you look really charming today."

Su Mu sincerely complimented her by her ear.

Jiang Xinxuan’s face turned red, and she leaned against Su Mu submissively.

Today’s attire was specially chosen by Jiang Xinxuan.

In a few more months, she would be eighteen.

Jiang Xinxuan hadn’t forgotten the promise she made to Su Mu.

Now, Jiang Xinxuan also treated herself as a woman.

Holding the softness snuggled against him, Su Mu felt a strong sense of pride.

The basic routine checkup before all subjects’ exams is always the same.

Of course, there was nothing wrong with Jiang Xinxuan.

Having drawn a later number, Jiang Xinxuan and Su Mu waited together outside.

A handsome man with a beautiful woman naturally drew a lot of attention.

Men’s first sight naturally fell on Jiang Xinxuan.

Amazed by Jiang Xinxuan’s beauty, many couldn’t help but take several more glances.

They also couldn’t resist wondering what kind of man could win the favor of such a great beauty?

However, when they saw Su Mu’s appearance,

those envious glances changed, as if they all felt that the beauty and the man beside her were truly a perfect match.

The attention of the women was definitely different,

As opposites repel, Jiang Xinxuan’s beauty did nothing to attract them.

What truly captured the women’s gazes was, of course, Su Mu’s handsome visage.

"Wait, I’ve seen this handsome guy before."

A sudden voice blurted out.
