Super Rich: Enjoying the Happiness of the Wealthy After Divorce

The motion-activated lights in the hallway lit up one floor at a time, following the footsteps of the two people.

The light was dim, and Zhou Cheng held Tang Xinyi's hand the whole time. His palm was dry and warm, and his grip was just right, yet she couldn't refuse.

From the moment she got out of the car, Tang Xinyi's heart was pounding nonstop. With each flight of stairs she climbed, it raced even faster. Her palms were sweaty, and her face was burning hot; she was even more nervous than when she was appearing on a live television broadcast for the first time.

Finally, we arrived at the fifth floor.

She stopped at the familiar front door of her home, took a breath, but still didn't have the courage to reach for her keys.

Zhou Cheng glanced at her, then raised his hand and pressed the doorbell.

"Ding-dong—"

The sound of the doorbell seemed to strike Tang Xinyi's heart directly, making her tense up.

The door opened quickly.

It was Li Xiumei, a warm smile on her face: "You're back? Tang Du is almost here..."

She stopped mid-sentence, her gaze fixed intently on the two people's clasped hands.

Li Xiumei's eyes lit up instantly, even brighter than when she wore that diamond necklace yesterday.

"Oh dear!" She slapped her thigh, her face instantly breaking into a smile. "Come in! Come in! What are you doing standing at the door! It's so cold outside!"

As she spoke, she stepped aside to let the two of them in. Her eyes swept over their clasped hands with obvious satisfaction, then she gave Tang Jianguo, who was reading the newspaper in the living room, a look that said, "It's all settled."

Tang Jianguo put down his newspaper and saw their hands clasped together. He paused, slightly awkwardly adjusted his reading glasses, cleared his throat, and said, "You're back? Wash your hands and eat."

The words were still as calm as ever, but Tang Xinyi could tell that the corners of her father's mouth had turned up.

Tang Xinyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that she had passed this final hurdle.

Zhou Cheng naturally let go of her hand, and as if returning to his own home, he changed his shoes and walked into the living room.

"Uncle, what are you looking at?"

"Just browsing the news."

The atmosphere at the dinner table was unusually pleasant.

Li Xiumei kept putting food on Zhou Cheng and Tang Xinyi's plates, saying, "Xinyi, you need to eat more, look how thin you are. And Zhou Cheng, you should eat more too. No matter how busy you are with work, your health is the most important thing."

Tang Duo, despite her young age, was quite precocious. She raised her juice glass and said, "I propose a toast to celebrate my cousin and brother-in-law's relationship taking another step forward!"

Tang Xinyi blushed from her teasing and glared at her.

Zhou Cheng, being quite accommodating, picked up his teacup and clinked it with Tang Duo's.

The meal was enjoyed in a harmonious and pleasant atmosphere, just like a family meal.

After dinner, Tang Duo tactfully pulled Tang Jianguo to watch TV. While clearing the dishes, Li Xiumei said to Tang Xinyi, "Xinyi, why don't you take Zhou Cheng to your room? It's noisy in the living room. Also, let him see how messy your room is; it needs some tidying up."

"Mom!" Tang Xinyi's face turned even redder.

"Go on, go on." Li Xiumei pushed her directly into the room.

Tang Xinyi had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead Zhou Cheng into her bedroom.

Her room wasn't big, but it was very clean. There was a single bed, a wardrobe, and a desk covered with books and documents. There was a faint fragrance in the air, the scent of her usual perfume.

When Zhou Cheng entered, the small space seemed a bit cramped, and the atmosphere was strange.

"You...you can sit anywhere." Tang Xinyi didn't know where to put her hands, so she pointed to the chair in front of the desk.

Zhou Cheng didn't sit down. He looked around the small space, which was filled with her personal touch, and then walked to the desk. His gaze fell on a photo frame.

The photo in the frame is a picture of Tang Xinyi taken when she graduated from university. In the photo, she is wearing an academic gown, smiling beautifully, with a touch of student naiveté on her face.

"This photo is quite good." Zhou Cheng picked up the photo frame.

"That was me... when I graduated from university." Tang Xinyi walked to his side, looked at the photo, and felt a little nostalgic.

She was lost in thought when Zhou Cheng put down the photo frame and turned around.

The distance between the two people closed immediately, so close that Tang Xinyi could clearly see her reflection in his eyes.

Her heart skipped a beat. She tried to back away, but her back was pressed against the cold desk, leaving her nowhere to retreat.

Zhou Cheng reached out, went behind her, and gently wrapped his arms around her waist.

The sudden embrace froze Tang Xinyi. She could feel the warmth of his hand through the thin fabric of her clothes. A masculine scent filled her nostrils, enveloping her.

Her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to stop.

She didn't struggle or resist.

She had already lost everything because of this man's meticulous planning.

Feeling the woman's submission in his arms, Zhou Cheng's lips twitched. He lowered his head, resting his chin gently on her shoulder, his warm breath brushing against her ear.

"Tang Xinyi," he whispered her name.

"Hmm..." Tang Xinyi's voice was very soft, with a slight tremor.

Zhou Cheng didn't say anything more, turned her around so she was facing him. He still had one arm around her waist, and lifted her chin with the other.

Eyes facing each other.

Tang Xinyi looked at his face as he drew closer, at his eyes that seemed to see right into her, and she was so nervous that she forgot to breathe.

Then, she saw his face slowly enlarge in front of her.

A warm kiss gently landed on her lips.

It started with just a touch, but soon it took on a predatory feel that left no room for resistance.

Tang Xinyi's mind went completely blank, and she could only respond clumsily and awkwardly. It was as if all the strength had been drained from her body, and she could only cling to his shoulders to keep from collapsing.

Just then, a series of system notification sounds rang in Zhou Cheng's mind!

The series of critical hit rewards made Zhou Cheng pause for a moment.

Five hundred million in cash, a god-level skill, plus a ten billion exclusive fund!

The rewards that Tang Xinyi brought even surpassed those of Lin Wanwan back then!

As expected of an S-rank target!

Sensing his pause, Tang Xinyi opened her eyes somewhat dazedly, her lips still glistening with moisture, her eyes watery and alluring.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Zhou Cheng looked at her like this, his Adam's apple bobbing. "I just feel that the reward isn't enough."

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

This time, it went deeper and was more domineering than before.

The system notification sounded again.
