Super Rich: Enjoying the Happiness of the Wealthy After Divorce

The temperature in the room seemed to be getting higher and higher.

Tang Xinyi's mind went blank, her body went limp, and all her thoughts were in disarray. She could only awkwardly respond to him.

On the system panel, the numbers for favorability and loyalty kept rising.

【Favourability: 95】

Loyalty: 78

Zhou Cheng enjoyed this feeling; his prey, both physically and emotionally, belonged only to him.

Just when he wanted to take it a step further—

"Knock knock knock!"

There was a knock on the door.

"Xinyi, Zhoucheng, Mom has cut some fruit for you. Open the door and get it." Li Xiumei's voice came from outside the door.

The sound jolted Tang Xinyi awake.

She jolted, pushed Zhou Cheng away, her face burning red. She hurriedly straightened her disheveled clothes and hair, her heart pounding, unable to look at Zhou Cheng.

"Mom! We...we're coming out right away!" she shouted towards the door, her voice hoarse and flustered.

Zhou Cheng wasn't angry at all, seeing her embarrassed and anxious expression.

He calmly straightened his collar, returning to his usual demeanor, showing no trace of his earlier domineering attitude.

Tang Xinyi steadied herself and managed to calm her wildly beating heart. She opened the door, took the fruit plate from Li Xiumei, and kept her head down the whole time, avoiding eye contact with her mother.

"Oh dear, why is this child's face so red? Does he have a fever?" Li Xiumei asked knowingly, her smile carrying a deeper meaning.

"No! It's too hot in here!" Tang Xinyi said, then quickly retreated back to her room with the fruit platter.

Zhou Cheng followed him in and closed the door behind him.

Once again, only the two of them remained in the room.

The atmosphere was a little awkward because of what had just happened. Tang Xinyi placed the fruit plate on the table, picked up a toothpick, stuck a piece of apple in it, and held it to Zhou Cheng's mouth, but she didn't dare to look at him.

"Eat...eat fruit."

Zhou Cheng took a bite of the apple from her hand, then grasped her wrist.

"Tang Xinyi".

"Um?"

"Let's talk," Zhou Cheng said, his expression turning serious.

"Talk...talk about what?" Tang Xinyi's heart tightened.

"Let's talk about your family," Zhou Cheng said, pulling her to sit down on the edge of the bed. "Or rather, let's talk about your safety."

"Security Question?"

"Yes." Zhou Cheng looked at her, his eyes serious. "You saw what happened today. Although those people were arrested, who can guarantee there won't be other trouble in the future?"

Tang Xinyi fell silent. The events of today still terrified her when she thought about them.

"This neighborhood is too old, there's practically no security, anyone can come in," Zhou Cheng continued. "Besides, living here means complicated neighborly relations, lots of eyes and ears. Now that you're a public figure, and I've acquired the TV station, your status will change too. From now on, more and more people will be watching you, both good and bad. Living here isn't safe or convenient."

What he said was all true. Tang Xinyi couldn't refute it.

"Most importantly," Zhou Cheng looked into her eyes, "I don't want my woman, and her family, to suffer any more fright or injustice."

My woman...

These four words clenched Tang Xinyi's heart.

Her heart skipped a beat, and a surge of heat spread from her chest to her limbs.

"So," Zhou Cheng squeezed her hand, "let's move."

"Move?" Tang Xinyi was stunned. "Move to where? My parents have lived here their whole lives, they won't agree to it."

"They will agree," Zhou Cheng said confidently. "I will give them an arrangement they can't refuse."

He took out his phone, opened the photo album, and handed a photo to Tang Xinyi.

The photo shows a traditional Chinese courtyard house with green tiles, white walls, carved beams and painted rafters. There are also small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and towers in the courtyard, which looks very grand.

"Where is this...?" Tang Xinyi looked at the photo, speechless.

"Mirror Lake," Zhou Cheng said, uttering a name that was renowned throughout Jiangcheng.

Jinghu Lane is a well-known affluent area in Jiangcheng. It's home to many of Jiangcheng's most prominent figures. It's said that even a random villa there starts at nine figures.

The Chinese-style courtyard house that Zhou Cheng showed her was one of the best in terms of location and size in Jinghu, and it was recognized as a collectible-grade residence.

"How...how could we possibly live in a place like that..." Tang Xinyi felt this was too unreal.

"Nothing is impossible." Zhou Cheng put away his phone and looked at her, saying, "I've already bought this courtyard house. I'll put your names on the property certificate. Consider it my betrothal gift to you two."

bride price!

Tang Xinyi's mind went blank for a moment.

She stared at Zhou Cheng with her mouth agape, unable to utter a single word.

She knew he was rich, but she never imagined he was this rich. He casually gave away a top-tier luxury mansion worth hundreds of millions, as a dowry.

"You... what are you doing...?"

"I don't want your parents to feel like I'm buying you with money. So, I want to give them enough respect and dignity." Zhou Cheng cupped her face, making her look into his eyes. "I want everyone to know that you, Tang Xinyi, are the woman I, Zhou Cheng, will marry openly and lawfully. I will give you and your family the very best of everything. Is that reason enough?"

Looking into his earnest eyes and listening to his domineering yet sincere words, Tang Xinyi's eyes welled up with tears.

She could no longer utter any words of refusal.

She stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly, buried her face in his chest, and nodded vigorously.

When Zhou Cheng and Tang Xinyi walked out of the room hand in hand and announced the decision to Tang Jianguo and Li Xiumei.

The elderly couple were completely stunned by the news.

A traditional Chinese courtyard house in Jinghu? Write their names on it? As a betrothal gift?

Li Xiumei was so excited she could barely speak. She gripped Zhou Cheng's hand, repeating the same few words over and over: "Good boy...good boy...it's so good that Xinyi found you...it's so good..."

Tang Jianguo sat frozen on the sofa, silent for a long time. He lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and in the smoke he exhaled, his usually serious and aloof eyes were actually somewhat red.

He spent his whole life wanting to provide a better living environment for his wife and children, but with his abilities, even if he worked hard all his life, he could only keep this old house.

And now, this young man has given them a future they never dared to dream of.

What else could he say?

He looked at the young man who was about to become his son-in-law, and at his daughter beside him, who looked happy and shy. Finally, he exhaled a long smoke ring and slowly spoke.

"it is good."

It was just one word, yet it represented a father's complete approval and entrustment.

From this moment on, this family has a new pillar of support.

The family looked out the window at the myriad lights of other homes, filled with anticipation for the days to come. They knew that from tomorrow on, life would be different.
