I am not just a tycoon

The soft yellow lighting in the Star Sushi private dining room was dim, casting just enough glow for a hazy ambiance, adding a touch of intimacy when a man and a woman were alone together in the space.

Chen Na, upon hearing Shen Yuan's words, didn't play coy or resist. After standing up, she moved the cushion beside Shen Yuan and knelt down again.

Today, underneath her short skirt, she wasn't wearing black stockings, but rather boldly displayed her smooth, fair thighs. Coupled with her kneeling posture, it offered Shen Yuan a visual feast.

After all, Shen Yuan was no saint. He was just an ordinary man with emotions and desires, and it was normal for him to react to this situation.

Especially now that he had fulfilled Chen Na's dream of opening a cafe.

Although the cafe was officially under his name, the generous salary he offered and the condition that he sought no return made it no different than saying it belonged to Chen Na.

Shen Yuan felt it was time to collect some interest, so his right hand naturally found its way to Chen Na's slender waist, savoring the soft touch.

Chen Na's body trembled, surprised by Shen Yuan's boldness. She twisted her waist in reluctant protest, "The waiter will come in later..."

"The dishes don't come out that fast here."

Such a feeble resistance only served to excite a man more. Shen Yuan advanced strategically, his hands gently exploring without giving Chen Na a moment to breathe.

Chen Na's face immediately flushed with heat, her heart pounding rapidly. She parted her lips as if to object, but ultimately, she said nothing.

Having worked in sales for years, Chen Na understood a principle very well: the world is realistic—there are no loves or hates without reason, nor are there altruistic offerings without expectation of return.

When a person gives, they certainly expect something in return.

Of course, the ultimate sycophants excepted.

Last time, Shen Yuan bought her a 40,000-yuan handbag, and now he had paid 300,000 to acquire a cafe for her.

Additionally, Shen Yuan was going to pay a 12,000 monthly salary for her.

What was he after?

Profits from the cafe?

That would be a joke.

Today, Lin Yuchang herself said that the cafe could only break even at best, so it was clearly not about making money.

So, it was no surprise that all of this happened naturally.

Of course, this was all she could offer him now...

Although she was already 26 this year, she was still a virgin.

She had never considered dating during her school years, and after graduation, she was too busy with work to find a partner.

Despite encountering some high-quality men, Chen Na always felt something was lacking until Xie Haijie began pursuing her persistently, prompting her to give it a try.

Half a month into the relationship, they had only held hands, with no further physical contact.

Therefore, her virginity was essentially the most precious thing she had to offer Shen Yuan.

Chen Na, thinking this way, decided to close her eyes and quietly enjoy...

Ten minutes later, just as Shen Yuan was getting to a crucial point, there was a "knock knock" at the door from the waiter.

Shen Yuan promptly ceased his movements, both with his hands and mouth, while Chen Na's cheeks burned with a flushed crimson and her eyes were dazed as she fumbled to fasten the buttons at her neckline.

"Come in."

After Chen Na had fastened her buttons, Shen Yuan responded.

"Mr. Shen, your dishes are ready."

The waitress, dressed in a kimono, entered the room to serve their dishes. After briefly introducing the food, she bowed and left the private dining room.

She had glanced quickly at the state of the two guests upon entering. The man was calm, while the woman's cheeks were bright red, intentionally keeping her head low.

Working here for quite some time, the waitress knew exactly what had transpired.

But they were accustomed to such happenings and were not surprised.

That's why they always knocked before entering a private dining room to avoid witnessing any acts they shouldn't see.

People came out to have fun, especially young men and women, seeking some excitement now and then.

Especially for men who have seen plenty of Dongying films, who wouldn't enjoy such scenarios?

It's completely understandable!

"Shen Yuan, let's not do it in such a place next time..."

Chen Na said, raising her misty eyes.

When the waitress walked in just now, she dared not look up, for fear that the other woman might notice something amiss.

"I'll think about it."

Shen Yuan said he would consider it, but he had no intention of agreeing in his heart. It was only a sushi restaurant's private dining room after all—they hadn't even tried a cafe's private dining room yet.

"What's there to consider?"

Chen Na didn't understand. Her request didn't seem excessive.

"Alright, let's eat something first. I'm a bit hungry."

Shen Yuan changed the subject.

"You're such a jerk..."

When she heard Shen Yuan deliberately avoiding the topic, Chen Na felt an itch in her gums and really wanted to pinch his annoying face.

But looking at him, Shen Yuan was actually quite handsome.

The only drawback was probably that he was a bit of a scoundrel.

Even with such a beautiful girl by his side, he still sought out other women.

"Sigh, now that I'm on his ship, it's no use talking about all this."

Chen Na sighed helplessly in her heart.

Afterwards, the two finished their meal and walked out of the private dining room together to the front desk to pay the bill.

The meal was still expensive, totaling 2652 yuan. Watching Shen Yuan pay, Chen Na secretly marveled. Although she had anticipated the high price, she hadn't expected it to be this expensive.

A single meal was almost the same as the commission she earned from selling a car.

You should know that she sells at most five or six cars a month.

However, maybe this was just how wealthy people lived. The 2000 yuan they spent was probably the same as her spending 20 yuan.

But inside, Shen Yuan was unperturbed, even a bit pleased. Although 2652 yuan was spent on this meal, he had a triple cashback, which meant a net gain of 5304 yuan.

After leaving Star Sushi, Chen Na suggested going back to the coffee shop to learn how to make coffee with Xiaoqiu because she would officially start working at the coffee shop tomorrow, and Chen Na wanted to get familiar with it as soon as possible.

However, Shen Yuan shook his head and said seriously, "It's almost eight o'clock now, and it will be at least half past eight by the time you get there. Xiaoqiu gets off work at nine, so if you go now, you'll be delaying her from getting off work."

"You should go home and rest early and save your energy for tomorrow."

In fact, Shen Yuan was talking nonsense; he didn't know what time the coffee shop closed, nor did he know what time Xiaoqiu got off work.

However, Chen Na thought Shen Yuan made sense and wasn't in a hurry at that moment, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then take me home."

Half an hour later, Shen Yuan drove back to the apartment building where Chen Na rented an apartment. As Chen Na descended from the passenger side to say goodbye to Shen Yuan, she didn't expect Shen Yuan to jump out of the driver's side as well.

"What are you doing coming down?"

Chen Na asked somewhat uneasily, with a vague premonition inside her.

"I'm a bit thirsty, going upstairs for a drink of water," Shen Yuan said, unflinchingly.

Hearing such a cliché excuse from Shen Yuan, Chen Na didn't want to expose him, but this was moving too fast. She gently shook her head, "I'm not very convenient tonight..."

In fact, what had happened in the private dining room that evening was already her limit.

After all, they had only known each other for how long.

It was still better to proceed step by step.

"Is there another man upstairs?"

Shen Yuan looked up at the apartment building.

"How could that be!"

Chen Na glared at him, knowing that Shen Yuan was aware that she was single, as she had told him everything about Xie Haijie.

"Then what's the inconvenience of going up for a drink of water?"

Shen Yuan continued to feign ignorance.

"..."

Chen Na was speechless and choked, probably not expecting Shen Yuan to be so thick-skinned.

"So you really are just going to have a drink of water and leave?"

Chen Na inquired tentatively.

She still had a shred of trust in Shen Yuan. What if Shen Yuan really was just going up for a drink of water?

"Of course, but you can also think about letting me stay over the night if you want," Shen Yuan said with a chuckle.

"Keep dreaming!"

At this moment, Chen Na relaxed her vigilance slightly and led Shen Yuan upstairs.

The apartment she lived in was on the sixth floor, but there was an elevator.

This was the first time she had brought a man back home, and she was somewhat nervous inside, but also relieved that she had cleaned up at home today, so the room wasn't too messy.

After reaching the sixth floor in the elevator, Chen Na turned the key to open the door, and the room was pitch black. She was about to turn on the light when Shen Yuan suddenly embraced her from behind, pinning her against the wall.

"You said you were just going to..."

"You said you were just going to drink some water..."

Chen Na's voice was tinged with a whimper. It was then she realized she had underestimated Shen Yuan's boldness. She had indeed let the wolf into the house.

"Indeed, it is for a drink of water..."

Shen Yuan was thinking yes, it was for a drink of water, just not the kind of water she was thinking of.

Especially since the atmosphere had been built up to this point and the private dining room hadn't been satisfying enough, Shen Yuan, as a hot-blooded young man, was struggling to restrain himself.

"Hmm..."

Chen Na's lips were completely sealed, and she felt like she was suffocating, trying to break free, but how could she, a frail woman, overpower Shen Yuan, a man over one meter eighty.

"....."

At this time, Xie Haijie drove his Crown car to the apartment building where Chen Na lived.

He was planning to apologize today.

After the fight with Zeng Xianyong, it was a case of no fight, no acquaintance; they sat down together in a tea restaurant for a meal and opened up in their conversation.

It turned out that Zeng Xianyong was the general manager of Chen Na's store and happened to bump into Chen Na after finishing a car dealership alliance meeting at IFC Mall, which is why they sat together.

There was actually nothing improper between them.

Xie Haijie was filled with regret over his impulsiveness at the time and repeatedly apologized to Zeng Xianyong during the meal.

But he felt that he owed an even greater apology to Chen Na. After all, he fought with her boss in front of her, which would make it difficult for her to work in the shop in the future.

Ever since that fight, he couldn't get in touch with Chen Na; both her phone and WeChat had blocked him, leaving no chance for an apology.

So he took the time today, prepared a bouquet of flowers, and went to the Land Rover 4S shop after work to apologize to Chen Na in person, but to his surprise, he was told she had resigned.

After learning this, Xie Haijie felt even guiltier, thinking that Chen Na's resignation was definitely because of him.

Therefore, he felt an even greater need to formally and sincerely apologize to Chen Na in person.

When Xie Haijie was pursuing Chen Na, he once sent her some local specialties while on a business trip, so he knew her address.

Xie Haijie didn't expect this to win Chen Na back, but at least he wanted her forgiveness. After such an incident, the harm done to her was certainly great.

If she forgave him, then at least they could still be friends in the future.

Of course, getting back together as a couple was also a possibility.

Xie Haijie was organizing his apology in his heart while getting out of the car, but then he suddenly noticed a Land Rover Defender parked not far from the apartment building.

Seeing the Defender, Xie Haijie's mind went blank.

This...

Could it be Zeng Xianyong's car?Nôv(el)B\\jnn
