Chapter 428: Chapter 314: A Small Goal_2
Finally, she took a deep breath and asked, “What are we now?”
“What do you think?”
“I don’t know. I only know that you have a lot of women.”
Luo Bingying stared blankly at Shen Yuan, “Do you just want to play with me?”

Shen Yuan smiled, “Do you really think I don’t have feelings for you?”
Luo Bingying shook her head, “I don’t know.”
...
“How could I not have feelings for you? And why would it just be a game?”
Shen Yuan didn’t give a direct answer but responded with two rhetorical questions. He had become smarter now; whenever he encountered a girl who wanted to talk about feelings, he would give ambiguous answers.
However, Luo Bingying knew about Shen Yuan’s playboy ways, she simply said flatly, “You spoke as if you said nothing. Anyway, I’m going to work out, but remember not to tell Weiwei about today’s incident.”
“I got it, you’ve said it twice already.”
Shen Yuan thought to himself that they would end up sharing a bed sooner or later; it didn’t matter if he didn’t tell now, the two of them would find out eventually.
One was a fire baby, and the other a water baby. Shen Yuan was really curious about what kind of chemical reaction could happen between them.
Soon after, Zhou Peiwei changed her underwear and came downstairs, probably because of the sneaky things she did with Shen Yuan, she was worried about the singleton and bachelorette’s old romance rekindling on the negative first floor, so she changed very quickly.
However, when she came down, she found that both of them were practicing with their own equipment, and their expressions were normal.
It seemed she worried unnecessarily; no sparks had flown between them.
Zhou Peiwei thought to herself and walked over to Shen Yuan, “Shen Yuan, teach me how to use the equipment.”
…
After the workout, the two girls took a shower at Shen Yuan’s house, and then Shen Yuan did the cooking for lunch, with Ji Ya as his assistant.
Just after 12 o’clock, a simple meal of four dishes and a soup was served.
Luo Bingying felt a little emotional, “I didn’t expect you to learn how to cook. Neither Weiwei nor I can.”
“Nonsense.”
Zhou Peiwei corrected, “Obviously, I can cook too, okay?”
Luo Bingying gave a nonchalant smile. If Weiwei’s fried rice counted as cooking, then her own ability to use a rice cooker to wash and cook rice could also be considered cooking, right?
Both tasted Shen Yuan’s cooking skills and couldn’t help but praise him endlessly, “Amazing, you could open a restaurant!”
Zhou Peiwei was actually experiencing this for the second time, but she pretended it was her first.
But actually, sneaking around with Shen Yuan behind her best friend’s back had a thrilling sensation.
The most surprised was actually Ji Ya. Tasting Shen Yuan’s dishes, she thought, do you have to be such a wolf in sheep’s clothing, boss? The food you make is even better than mine, yet you make me cook for you every day?
Ji Ya suddenly felt like a failure. Despite learning for so long, she couldn’t even match her boss’s cooking skills.
In fact, Shen Yuan was just showing off.
This was merely System’s Basic Culinary Skill, and Shen Yuan didn’t dare to imagine what the intermediate or advanced levels of culinary skills would be like—the advanced level probably qualified for state banquets, right?
However, cooking was indeed a pleasant activity, transforming ingredients into dish after dish. This process of creation from nothing to something was full of satisfaction and a sense of achievement.
And eating dishes one had made oneself definitely felt different compared to eating what others made.
After having lunch, the two girls left. Shen Yuan didn’t try to keep them; they had come on foot, and on their way back, Zhou Peiwei said, “Bingying, don’t you think Shen Yuan is just too capable? I really didn’t expect a guy like him to know how to cook.”
Luo Bingying gave her a look and didn’t say much. From any aspect, Weiwei showed great fondness for Shen Yuan.
Moreover, right before she got intimate with Shen Yuan, she was certain that something had definitely happened between them.
Sigh~
Luo Bingying sighed silently. In this way, she didn’t know how to handle the relationship between the three of them in the future.
“Bingying, are you unhappy?”
Zhou Peiwei noticed Luo Bingying’s mood change.
“No.”
Luo Bingying shook her head.
“Then let’s hurry back! First, a beautiful nap, then we’ll binge-watch dramas in the afternoon, and sleep together at night! I haven’t slept with you in so long!”
Zhou Peiwei spun around excitedly at the thought of having received Shen Yuan’s promise today and the fact that Shen Yuan would be coming to visit her in Shanghai later, she couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.
Luo Bingying looked at Weiwei’s behavior and couldn’t help but feel a bit of sympathy for no reason.
This silly girl is being kept in the dark… If she knew what had happened between herself and Shen Yuan, what would she think?
In the afternoon, Zhou Peiwei watched “My Love From the Star” at home, giggling every time Qian Songyi and Dou Minjun interacted on screen.
Luo Bingying wasn’t actually interested in these Korean dramas, but she kept her company since her best friend liked them.
When Bingying got up to go to the bathroom, Zhou Peiwei guiltily watched her figure disappear into the restroom.
At that moment, she imitated Qian Songyi, lifting her chin and said, “Hmph, clearly likes me, but won’t say it.”
After saying that, she shuffled to the left and deepened her voice, imitating Shen Yuan’s signature eyebrow raise, “Childish, all you talk about is love and affection.”
She then shuffled to the right and “hmphed” again, “If you won’t say it, then never say it again.”
Before she could finish her little act, Zhou Peiwei covered her face and started laughing, shaking all over, even her chest swaying, thinking to herself how interesting love is, feeling all sweetened up just by imagining.
When Luo Bingying came out, she was somewhat astonished, wondering why her friend was laughing like a fool, had she missed some hilarious point?
Single girls always have a longing and desire for sweet love, especially with Shen Yuan’s promise today, Zhou Peiwei felt even more anticipatory.
…
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Ji Ya had just seen off several employees from China Merchants Bank, then approached Shen Yuan, “Mr. Shen, the car show people will complete the transfer tomorrow, and we should be able to tow the sports car back by the afternoon.”
“Okay, good.”
Shen Yuan had just transferred the payment of 35 million for the car with the assistance of employees from China Merchants Bank and was now looking at the progress about the charity foundation sent by Long Jinghan.
“Yuanzhen” Charity Foundation had been registered, with Shen Yuan naturally as the chairman. He planned to have Yu Jifeng as vice-chairman, and as for directors, he intended to select from those second-generation rich who had offered donations last time, anyway, those were honorary positions.
The financial matters and such were temporarily managed by Liu Lan and Long Jinghan, and they were recruiting executive staff like project members, administrative personnel, public relations, and HR, among others.
However, these were all manageable. The difficulty of a charity foundation lies in “sustained compliance,” “project management,” and “building public trust.”
Especially “building public trust,” since there have been negative incidents in the charity field before, the public’s trust in such organizations is generally not high, so a newly established charity foundation needs to spend a lot of time and effort to build public trust.
Long Jinghan had apparently done her homework recently, explaining all these details very thoroughly, and also proposed a series of solutions such as “financial transparency,” “transparency in activities,” and “engaging with the public,” among others.
“The girl has improved a lot.”
Shen Yuan thought to himself, then replied to her, “There’s no rush with this, take it slow, don’t stay up too late.”
Long Jinghan: “No worries, I’m not tired.”
Shen Yuan wanted to show more concern when suddenly, he received a notification about a deposit. It was from the System, the threefold cashback had arrived.
Seeing the nine-digit figure of the deposit, he couldn’t help but show an aunt-like smile.
A whole 105 million in cashback!
Cash flow jumped to 135 million!
Damn, how exhilarating!
Shen Yuan felt all his pores open up, experiencing an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Mom’s spaghetti, he finally had a small goal!
“Mr. Shen, the style director from HS with his hairdressing team will arrive in about half an hour.”
Shen Yuan’s hair grew fast, needing a cut every two weeks to avoid looking untidy.
He used to go to the hair studio, but now living in the villa, he couldn’t be bothered to go out and simply had them come for house calls.
Their styling director charged 2699 for a haircut, with an additional 3000 service fee for house calls.
Since they brought the team, there would be services like hair washing, head massage, and facial spa as well.
But Shen Yuan didn’t care about getting his head washed right now. With an exclamatory shout, he pulled over Ji Ya, dressed in professional attire and black stockings, and held her head, “Hold on!”
“Uh, Mr. Shen…”
Ji Ya’s head buzzed for a moment, not understanding what had happened, and found herself kneeling on the floor.
Shen Yuan gasped in surprise, thinking that with a cash flow of 100 million, how could he not set off fireworks to celebrate?
