I am not just a tycoon

After Lih Meng threw out the trash, she rode the elevator up to her floor and was about to unlock her door when she heard hurried panting sounds coming from inside.

"Scoundrel!"

"Bullying my sister again!"

Lih Meng muttered under her breath, planning to enter once the two inside shifted their battleground.

However, the sounds inside grew louder instead of subsiding. Lih Meng initially waited coldly at the door, but eventually, she couldn't help but press her ear against it.

Upon hearing her sister Lih Xiao's voice, Lih Meng's face started to heat up, and her legs involuntarily...

"Will they do that kind of thing today?"

Lih Meng silently wondered, instinctively reaching downwards with her right hand, but then she quickly remembered she was in a public hallway and stopped.

"It's really torturous just to listen; can't they let me watch a live show?" Lih Meng thought, irritated.

"....."

Shen Yuan didn't bully Lih Xiao for too long; he timed it well, judging that Lih Meng had been eavesdropping outside the door for several minutes.

At this moment, Lih Xiao's legs were somewhat weak, and she leaned helplessly against Shen Yuan, saying in a dazed tone, "Shen Yuan, help me to the couch to sit for a while."

"Um, okay."

Shen Yuan helped Lih Xiao to the couch then went off to the bathroom.

Lih Meng, hearing their footsteps fade, finally took out her keys from her pajama pocket and entered.

Her gaze swept over the two on the couch. Her sister's cheeks were flushed, her legs together, tactically drinking tea.

"Sis, I'm back."

Lih Meng said lightly.

Lih Xiao nervously "Hmm'ed" and continued tactically sipping her tea.

Meanwhile, Shen Yuan finished up in the bathroom and came out just as Lih Meng was about to head to the kitchen. Seeing him, she instantly rolled her eyes.

What did I do to offend you now?

Shen Yuan secretly complained, having only pinched a little, and it wasn't the first time, so what's with the fussiness?

After settling back on the couch, Lih Xiao awkwardly smoothed her hair, then stood up and said, "I'll go take a shower first."

Shen Yuan smiled, "Sure, I'll wait for you to finish before I shower."

Lih Xiao, blushing, hurriedly fled.

Meanwhile, Shen Yuan took out his cell phone and transferred 2.91 million away.

Today, Coach Liew's apartment was already picked out, entirely configured similarly to Nana's, a large three-bedroom covering 164 square meters facing north to south.

Coach Liew didn't want to be inferior to Nana, even including two car spots.

After transferring the money, Shen Yuan took a screenshot and sent it to Liew Menglu.

.....

At that moment, at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, Liew Menglu, on receiving the screenshot, immediately burst into cheers.

"Oh yeah! I've got my own house now!"

Liew Menglu nudged Hou Qianqian next to her, then showed her the screenshot, "Qianqian, I've got my own house now! Hahaha!"

Hou Qianqian was completely dragged along tonight; she felt deeply envious but still showed a happy smile, "Congratulations, Lulu."

"Once I move, I'll treat you to a big meal!"

Excited, Liew Menglu twirled around. Before meeting Shen Yuan, she had thought about buying a house but was financially embarrassed.

But after meeting Shen Yuan, he bought her a Porsche 911 and even gave her a monthly allowance of 100,000. Liew Menglu thought the house would not come so soon; she was even prepared to save up slowly.

But who would have thought?

Seeing Liew Menglu's happy face, Hou Qianqian felt even more out of sorts. Both Lulu and Nana had seemingly become life's victors, driving sports cars and living in big houses, while she herself was stuck living in a rental, driving a Corolla, and miserably toiling away.

She wished she had never known Nana and Lulu, so she wouldn't have to feel such vast disparities in life.

"Qianqian, what do you think I should choose for the decoration? I like both simple European and modern styles, which do you think is better?"

Hou Qianqian, barely suppressing the urge to roll her eyes, thought to herself, Why even ask? How would I know, having never decorated anything?

But since her friend had asked, Hou Qianqian still played along, "I think either is fine, depending on what you prefer."

"Ah, it's so tough to decide; I'll just ask my husband for his opinion."

As Liew Menglu spoke, she picked up her cell phone again to reply to Shen Yuan's message.

She actually didn't mean to show off; it was just spontaneous, and inviting Hou Qianqian over was merely to share her joy.

She couldn't just call Nana, after all.

But Hou Qianqian just sneered inwardly, almost grimacing... talking about a husband already, as if it's your turn!

Liew Menglu tilted her chin up, "Qianqian, do you think I should prepare a baby room? Maybe next year Shen Yuan and I will start trying for a baby?"

"....."

Hou Qianqian was at a loss for words, even considering recording a video to send to Nana.

Look at your best friend, trying to compete with you again!

Having a car and a house was not enough; she also wanted to have a child with Shen Yuan, just like you!

...

After replying to Liew Menglu's message, Shen Yuan transferred another 680,000.

The class belle's soft furnishings were almost decided, totaling 680,000 overall.

Shen Yuan transferred the money to the decorating company and screenshot it for the class belle.

"Hui Babe, you can send this screenshot to the decorating company now."

Fang Minhui replied quickly, her excitement palpable even through the screen, "Thanks, Yuan Babe, mwah~ mwah~"

Shen Yuan: "Mm."

Fang Minhui: "Yuan Babe, when are you coming back? I miss you."

Shen Yuan: "See you tomorrow."

Fang Minhui: "!!!!!!!!"

Shen Yuan: "Stay clean, wait for me."

Fang Minhui: "Absolutely, absolutely, I've prepared a surprise for you tomorrow!"

Shen Yuan: "What surprise?"

Fang Minhui: "Can't say yet, hehe~"

Shen Yuan: "Alright, see you tomorrow."

Shen Yuan thought the class belle's surprises had never disappointed him, so he could look forward to it a bit; though as for tonight...

Eat big or eat small, or both.

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

The phone rang twice in succession. Shen Yuan checked the message and immediately revealed a relieved smile.

The money's arrived... Liew Menglu's house for 2.91 million, Fang Minhui's soft furnishings for 680,000, a total cashback of 10.77 million.

With this calculation, he now had over 40 million in liquid assets.

"Ding!"

Huh? Another transaction?

Shen Yuan opened it to find an additional 5.82 million!

[Liew Menglu's Feel-good Index for the host: 96]

[Increase of 3 points in opposite sex Feel-good Index during this transaction, cashback doubled by system]

So it was Coach Liew's Feel-good Index that had increased by 3 points...

Good good good, Lu Babe is reliable!

With this, the cash flow was nearing 50 million. Although there weren't many places to spend it, a thicker wallet definitely felt more reassuring.

"Slurp slurp slurp~"

Shen Yuan heard the sound of slurping noodles, along with the fresh aroma of noodles and tomatoes. He glanced sideways and saw it was Lih Meng slurping a bowl of tomato and egg noodles.

Lih Meng was enjoying it thoroughly, and Shen Yuan got a bit hungry himself. He hadn't been full from that Chinese-Western fusion restaurant earlier, especially after sharing half a steak with Lih Xiao, so the smell of the noodles made him walk over to Lih Meng.

Lih Meng noticed the shadow enveloping the light and looked up coldly, "What do you want?"

Shen Yuan pointed at her bowl of noodles, "Let me have a few bites."

"No way!"

Lih Meng said irritably, "Make your own, the noodles are in the cupboard, and the tomatoes are in the fridge."

Shen Yuan really walked into the kitchen, but not to open the fridge. Instead, he took a pair of chopsticks, aimed at Lih Meng's bowl, and quickly stuffed two pieces of egg into his mouth.

"Ah! I only put one egg!"

Lih Meng suddenly flipped out, "Shen Yuan! You shameless rogue!"

"I can accept being called shameless."

Shen Yuan grabbed another bite of noodles, "But why the rogue part?"

After swallowing the noodles, Shen Yuan whispered to Lih Meng, "Do you really have no clue how 'small' I am?"

"You..."

Lih Meng raised her finger at him, wanting to hurl some harsh words, but she found herself helpless against such a rascal.

"Don't rush."

Shen Yuan quietly took another piece of egg and then softly said, "It's just one egg, right? Big deal, tonight your brother-in-law will let you enjoy a double."

Lih Meng's cheeks flushed instantly, and she glanced nervously at the bathroom, where the light was still on, and the sound of water could be heard.

"Shen Yuan, I've made up my mind."

Lih Meng tapped the bottom of her bowl with her chopsticks, making a "clang" sound, and said with difficulty, "We should end our partner relationship here, from now on just focus on my sister."

"Hmm?"

Shen Yuan looked at her incredulously, "Are you joking, or are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious."

Lih Meng said earnestly, "If I keep being between you two, it will affect your relationship."

"Didn't expect that, you're actually a good little sister."

Shen Yuan said nonchalantly, "But you're too full of yourself."

Lih Meng: "?"

Shen Yuan grinned, "Whether you're here or not, it won't affect my feelings for Teacher Lih. As for Teacher Lih, as long as the secrecy measures are intact, she'll never know."

Lih Meng couldn't help but look at Shen Yuan and gritted her teeth, "Shen Yuan, you really are quite the scumbag."

"Scumbag?"

Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow, "Not sure who is the flirty one. Have you forgotten who seduced whom first?"

"I need to think about this."

Lih Meng was shaken by what Shen Yuan said.

"Take your time thinking."

Shen Yuan replied casually, then whispered, "But I'm curious, how do you usually cope, especially when I'm away on business for a week?"

Lih Meng, as an XY patient, Shen Yuan didn't believe she could endure it—it was either by tools...

Or, well, her delicate hands.

Lih Meng rolled her eyes, "None of your business."

"Hmm?"

Shen Yuan leaned forward and whispered in Lih Meng's ear.

Her reaction was the same as Teacher Lih's; her body immediately stiffened, tingling as if electrified.

Shen Yuan wasn't finished yet; he continued whispering, and Lih Meng's grip on her chopsticks loosened, her fingers and toes fidgeted without a hold.

Desperate to grasp something, but only clutching the air.

Lih Meng pleaded, "Shen Yuan... stop, I'll talk."

"Alright, then talk."

Shen Yuan finally let her go, thinking you sisters both have the same weak spot, can't I handle you?

"Let me finish eating first."

Lih Meng continued to pick up her chopsticks and proceeded to slurp her noodles, burping after she finished.

"Here's the thing."

Lih Meng stood up, then looked solemnly at Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan waited for her to continue, but she only kept still for a second, quickly running out with a sly smile. Before running out, she threw out a line.

"Forget it, I will never tell you!"

"Damn it... after I handle Teacher Lih tonight, I'll pry open your mouth."

Shen Yuan stared at her retreating figure, grumbling to himself.

Wandering around the living room, Shen Yuan felt out of place, wondering why Teacher Lih was taking so long in the shower.

She couldn't have passed out from natural gas poisoning, could she?

That wasn't impossible... Shen Yuan lied to himself, then headed towards the bathroom.

He touched the door handle and then "click."

Huh? It wasn't locked?

He pushed the door open to a room filled with dense steam.

Lih Xiao was rinsing off her shower gel, and unexpectedly the door was pushed open. Since the sisters lived together, they never had the habit of locking the door, subconsciously treating Shen Yuan as one of their own.

And with Shen Yuan standing at the door, she hurriedly covered her upper body.

"Shen Yuan, what are you doing!"
