Super Rich: Enjoying the Happiness of the Wealthy After Divorce

Zhou Cheng felt the body behind him trembling slightly. Lin Wanwan's arms around his waist were wrapped with all her might, her knuckles turning white.

"Please, don't go."

Lin Wanwan's voice was heavily nasal, each word squeezed out from the depths of her throat, filled with a humble plea.

Zhou Cheng neither moved nor spoke.

He just stood there, letting the girl vent her pent-up emotions behind him. He could hear her suppressed sobs and feel her hot tears slowly soaking the back of his shirt.

This didn't feel bad. He felt that the girl had finally let her guard down and was completely dependent on him.

That's exactly the effect he wanted.

After a long while, the crying behind me gradually subsided, leaving only intermittent sobs.

Zhou Cheng then slowly turned around.

Lin Wanwan was startled by his action and instinctively let go of his hand. She lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

Under the moonlight, her little face was a mess from crying, her eyes red and swollen. Her lips were bitten until they were bloodless. She looked so pitiful that you couldn't help but want to protect her.

"Raise your head." Zhou Cheng's tone was very calm.

Lin Wanwan's body trembled slightly, but she obediently raised her head. Tears welled up in her eyes again.

"I...I'm sorry, I..." She wanted to explain, but didn't know where to begin.

Zhou Cheng looked at her and suddenly laughed. "Apologize for what? For hugging me, or for begging me not to leave?"

Lin Wanwan's face instantly turned bright red, the heat spreading all the way to her neck.

She was rendered speechless by Zhou Cheng's question and could only clutch the hem of her clothes tightly.

Zhou Cheng stopped teasing her. He reached out and gently wiped away the tears on her face with his fingertips. His movements were light, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.

"Since you want me not to leave," he whispered in her ear, his breath so close it made her ears tingle, "then I'll grant your wish."

After saying that, he didn't give Lin Wanwan any chance to react. He bent down and picked her up in his arms.

"Ah!" Lin Wanwan exclaimed in surprise, instinctively reaching out to hug his neck.

Her body was very light; she didn't feel heavy when held in my arms.

Zhou Cheng picked her up, turned around, and strode into the heavy vermilion gate of Courtyard No. 1.

The door slowly closed behind him, shutting him out of the outside world.

That night, Lin Wanwan's world completely changed.

She felt completely controlled by Zhou Cheng. That feeling of being overthrown left her with no room for resistance.

She finally understood that all the "goodness" and "patience" this man had shown her before were just foreplay.

It wasn't until tonight that he truly considered her his possession.

The next morning, when Lin Wanwan woke up, the seat next to her was empty.

The sheets still retained his pleasant woody scent and faint tobacco smell.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, casting dappled shadows on the floor.

She propped herself up, her body aching. The blanket slipped off her, revealing skin covered with marks of varying depths.

Lin Wanwan's cheeks burned. She pulled the blanket up and buried herself completely in it, her mind a jumble of images from last night that had made her blush and her heart race.

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Miss, are you awake?" It was Butler Wang's voice.

"~I'm awake." Lin Wanwan's voice was slightly hoarse from just waking up.

"Mr. Zhou wants you to have breakfast in the restaurant after you wake up."

"Where is he?"

"Mr. Zhou went to the company early this morning. He said he has a very important meeting today," Butler Wang replied respectfully from outside the door. "Also, he instructed the kitchen to prepare bird's nest soup for you."

Lin Wanwan's heart sank inexplicably.

He's gone? Just like that? Without even saying goodbye?

A feeling of inexplicable loss and grievance welled up inside me.

She got out of bed reluctantly. After browsing in the walk-in closet for a long time, she finally chose a long dress with the highest neckline and the most conservative style to wear, covering up all the marks on her body.

After washing up and going downstairs, Lin's parents and Lin Hao were already sitting in the dining room.

Seeing her come down, the three of them looked somewhat awkward.

Especially Lin's mother, whose gaze towards her daughter was very complicated. She knew that Zhou Cheng hadn't left last night.

"Wanwan, come quickly and try Uncle Wang's stewed bird's nest." Lin's mother forced a smile and served her a bowl.

"Thank you, Mom." Lin Wanwan sat down, lowered her head, and sipped her drink slowly, not daring to look her parents in the eye.

Breakfast was eaten in unusual silence.

After finishing their meal, Lin's father and Lin Hao made an excuse to leave, leaving only the mother and daughter in the restaurant.

Seeing her daughter's absent-minded look, Lin's mother sighed and took her hand.

"Wanwan, tell Mom the truth, you and Zhou Cheng... right?"

Lin Wanwan's face flushed again. She nodded, her voice very soft, almost inaudible. "Mmm."

"Sigh." Lin's mother patted the back of her hand, unsure whether to be happy or worried. "Mom knows, a man like Zhou Cheng is beyond our reach. Now that you're with him, from now on, just listen to him and don't make him angry, understand?"

"I understand, Mom."

Just then, Lin Wanwan's phone, which was on the table, suddenly vibrated.

It was a text message from the bank.

She hadn't paid any attention at first, but Lin's mother, who was standing next to her, had sharp eyes. She glanced at the screen and froze.

"Wait...wait!" Lin's mother's voice trembled as she pointed at her phone screen, "Look! Look!"

Lin Wanwan picked up her phone with a puzzled look and opened the text message.

【尊敬的客户，您尾号6668的银行帐户于11月19日09:15入帐转帐：RMB 50,000,000.00元，帐户当前余额为50,128,554.32元。】

Fifty million!

Lin Wanwan's mind went blank for a moment.

She counted the long string of zeros over and over again, once, twice, three times.

That's right, it's eight figures.

It's fifty million!

When did she ever have so much money?

She was completely stunned, her hands trembling violently as she held her phone.

"Mom~ what~ what happened?"

Lin's mother was also quite frightened. She leaned over and looked at it for a long time, then said in a trembling voice, "This...is this...from Zhou Cheng?"

Who else could it be but him?

Lin Wanwan's heart began to pound. She remembered what he had said in her ear last night while he was holding her.

"Come with me, and I'll give you whatever you want in the future."

At the time, she thought it was just nonsense uttered in the heat of passion, but little did she know...

He actually did it!

Just as her mind went blank, her phone rang again.

This time, it was Zhou Cheng who called.

Lin Wanwan's hand trembled, and she almost dropped her phone. She took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.

"Feed~"

"Received it?" Zhou Cheng's calm voice came from the other end of the phone. The sound of typing could be heard in the background; he was probably in his office.

"~Received it." Lin Wanwan's voice was dry. "That money~was it you who transferred it?"

"Hmm." Zhou Cheng's tone was as relaxed as if he were commenting on the weather. "Consider this your allowance. Buy whatever you like."

Pocket money?

Fifty million in pocket money?

Lin Wanwan felt that her worldview had been shattered once again by this man.

"This is too much! I can't take it!" she said instinctively.

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, then Zhou Cheng's voice turned a little cold.

"Take what I give you. You have no right to refuse."

His tone was so domineering that it was unreasonable.

"From now on, learn how to spend money properly. Don't let me see you wearing those cheap clothes that cost only a few dozen yuan from street vendors again; it'll embarrass me."

"Tell me when you run out of money in your card."

After he finished speaking, it seemed like someone was calling him to a meeting. He simply said, "That's all for now," and hung up the phone.

Lin Wanwan listened to the busy tone on her phone, and remained in a daze for a long time.

She stared at the numbers on the screen, overwhelmed with mixed emotions. Shock, fear, but mostly a sense of security, an irresistible feeling of being completely enveloped by money.

She knew that from this day forward, her life was completely intertwined with his.
