Super Rich: Enjoying the Happiness of the Wealthy After Divorce

Tang Xinyi just looked at Zhou Cheng, at his calm eyes.

That past, which she had buried deep in her heart and which haunted her dreams, was revealed by him. She didn't know how he knew, but in that instant, all the hard shells in her heart shattered.

five years.

For five whole years, she climbed her way up from an intern to the deputy director of the news department. Only she knew how much hardship and suffering she endured. She worked like crazy, pushing herself to become stronger, hoping to bury that memory completely and make sure that Lu Ze's name would never bother her again.

She thought she had succeeded.

But when Zhou Cheng brought up that incident, and the trophy in the trash can, she realized that the thorn was still there, in the softest part of her heart, and even the slightest touch still caused excruciating pain.

I couldn't hold back my tears any longer.

She didn't want to cry, especially not in front of this man. She wanted him to always see her as an independent and capable woman. But now, she couldn't control herself.

This isn't sadness, it's grievance.

It's that feeling of being seen through when someone sees through all your pretense and bravado, and then being caught in the act of comfort.

Zhou Cheng didn't speak or make any other movements. He just looked at her, then reached out and pulled her into his arms, patting her back gently.

His embrace was warm, with a reassuring woody scent.

Tang Xinyi buried her face in his chest. The thing that had been pressing down for five years had finally found a way out, and she cried uncontrollably.

In the living room, Tang's parents had already been persuaded to go back to their bedroom by Zhou Cheng's words, "Uncle and Aunt, Xinyi and I have some private matters to discuss. You should go back to your room and rest." The elderly couple were extremely anxious and tried to eavesdrop through the crack in the door, but they couldn't hear anything.

"What did Zhou Cheng say to our daughter? Why is she crying?" Tang's mother asked in a low voice.

"You don't know anything!" Tang's father said in a low voice, "This is a good thing! Didn't you see Zhou Cheng's expression? He was heartbroken! Only a man who truly cares for a woman will let her cry in front of him! Our daughter has found the right person!"

After crying for a long time, Tang Xinyi finally calmed down. She stepped out of Zhou Cheng's arms, her face flushed, her voice nasal, and whispered, "I'm sorry... I made you laugh at me."

"Aren't you silly?" Zhou Cheng reached out and used his fingertips to wipe away her tears. "You don't need to pretend in front of me. Cry if you want to cry, laugh if you want to laugh."

His movements were very gentle, but Tang Xinyi's heart skipped a beat.

"I... I just didn't expect you to know." She lowered her head, her voice still trembling slightly. "That matter happened five years ago, and actually... it's nothing."

"Nothing much?" Zhou Cheng's tone turned colder. "You risked your life to get something, and someone threw it away like trash, and you call that nothing? That Lu Ze humiliated you in front of everyone, and you call that nothing?"

Tang Xinyi bit her lip and remained silent.

"Tang Xinyi, listen to me carefully." Zhou Cheng grabbed her chin, forcing her to look at him. "From the day you came with me, you weren't alone. Your grievances are mine. I won't let anyone who bullies you get away with it."

His gaze was so earnest, so earnest, that it made Tang Xinyi feel uneasy.

"What...what do you want to do? Lu Ze's family has some influence in Jiangcheng, his father is..."

"Who his father is is none of my business," Zhou Cheng interrupted her directly, his tone brimming with natural domineering authority. "In Jiangcheng, right now, I'm the one who calls the shots."

Tang Xinyi was completely speechless. Looking at the man in front of her, she suddenly felt that even if the sky were to fall, he could really hold it up.

Just then, a series of notification sounds exploded in Zhou Cheng's mind.

[Ding! Target person Tang Xinyi detected. Your mental defenses have completely collapsed!]

[Affection level increased to 98%...99%...100%!]

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully raised the favorability rating of S-rank target Tang Xinyi to the maximum (Bound by Life and Death)! The hidden reward mechanism has been triggered!]

[Ding! Main quest ~ Hidden Wish has been perfectly completed!]

[Task settlement in progress...]

[Congratulations, host! You have received the mission reward: 100% ownership of Hang Lung Plaza!]

The asset transfer process has commenced, and relevant legal documents and equity transfer agreements will be delivered by Qin Yue within 24 hours. From this moment forward, you are the sole owner of Jiangcheng Henglong Plaza!

coming.

Zhou Cheng's lips twitched.

Hang Lung Plaza.

The most upscale shopping mall in Jiangcheng, a true landmark, where every inch of land is incredibly valuable. He used to just spend money there; now, the entire place is his. Not bad.

The system's voice was still ringing.

[The current market valuation of Hang Lung Plaza is estimated at approximately RMB 125 billion, with an annual net profit of approximately RMB 8.7 million. This asset has been automatically added to your personal wealth portfolio.]

[Due to the host successfully achieving maximum favorability with two S-rank target characters in succession, the system's special privileges are being upgraded...]

[Upgrade complete! Congratulations, host, for unlocking the new feature: Tycoon Aura (Beginner)!]

[Aura of Wealth (Beginner): Passive Skill. When you make large purchases or display your wealth, you will exert a psychological deterrent effect on those around you, making them more likely to feel awe, admiration, or fear towards you. This aura will automatically strengthen as your total wealth increases.]

This skill is quite interesting.

Zhou Cheng snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Tang Xinyi, whose eyes were still red, and his heart softened.

This woman brought him billions in assets, and also a rather useful skill. He should give her something in return.

"Lu Ze, are you going to the charity gala next weekend?" he suddenly asked.

Tang Xinyi paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, he's the station's star host. He's usually the one chosen to host these kinds of events."

"That's good." Zhou Cheng smiled, a smile that made Tang Xinyi feel a little uneasy.

He reached out and tucked a stray strand of hair from Tang Xinyi's forehead behind her ear. His voice was soft, yet carried the force of a blow to the ground.

"You don't need to do anything on the day of the banquet."

"Just put on the dress I bought you, wear that ruby ​​set, and sit quietly beside me."

"Watch me, I'll make him kneel down and pick up what he threw away back then."

After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed her.

This kiss was unlike any other before.

There is heartache, promises, and the scent of an impending storm.

Tang Xinyi closed her eyes and was completely captivated.

She knew that things were about to change in Jiangcheng.

And the one who stirred up the storm was the man right in front of her.

Her man.
