A pampered young lady from a wealthy family is reborn, choosing a rich wife over a rich man.

Xie Lingfeng stood casually, his leather jacket zipper undone, exuding a nonchalant yet gloomy aura.

He spoke the words "Boss Zhou's wife" lightly, yet with obvious sarcasm.

Meng Zhixue ignored his sarcastic remarks.

She explained to Xie Wei, "Sister Xie Wei, it was President Zhou who said he wanted to help me set up a studio so I could try to run it independently, but I haven't decided whether to take it on yet."

Xie Wei was surprised for a moment, then said softly, "What's there to think about? Since Xiao Yu brought it up, he must have a complete plan. Just agree. It's nothing more than a small favor for him."

"I just feel that I don't want to owe him too much," Meng Zhixue said helplessly, speaking the truth.

He who takes a bribe is bound to do his bidding; he who eats another's food is obligated to do his bidding.

If I keep owing money and it ends up in bed with me, that's exhausting.

Xie Wei smiled knowingly: "What's there to owe? He likes you now and wants to please you, isn't that normal? Let's not talk about him. If Ling Feng gave you something to please you, I would also advise you to accept it. Don't feel guilty."

Upon hearing this, Xie Lingfeng's tense expression eased slightly, as if he wanted to nod.

But then, as if remembering something, he gave a soft snort and turned his face away.

Meng Zhixue blushed and didn't know what to say for a moment, so she simply took Xie Wei's hand and said coquettishly, "Okay, Sister Xie Wei, let's not talk about this for now, let's go inside. I haven't seen Zhuangzhuang for a few days, I'll play with him for a while."

Upon hearing his name, Zhuangzhuang immediately raised his chubby face and nodded, his chubby hands gripping the hem of Meng Zhixue's clothes, looking as if afraid she would run away.

Xie Wei glanced at her little one and smiled, "Okay, let's go in first."

……

It was a little after 8 p.m.

After putting Zhuangzhuang, the little boss, to sleep, Meng Zhixue greeted Xie Wei and walked out of Villa No. 28, dressed in warm clothes.

When she was at Tianzehui, she had already made an agreement with Zhou Yu that he would continue to be her tutor, and she would still study for two hours every evening without attending training classes.

Whether or not she uses him as a tutor, it won't change the fact that he always wants to kiss her, so she might as well use him as a tutor.

He was lusting after her body, and she was truly lusting after his brain.

She walked to Villa No. 15, where Zhou Yu was already waiting for her at the gate. As soon as he saw her, he took her hand and warmed it in his palm.

"You didn't ask me to pick you up because you were afraid Xie Lingfeng would find out?" Zhou Yu asked.

"No." Meng Zhixue looked at him speechlessly. "Please, don't tell ghost stories, okay?"

Zhou Yu chuckled lightly: "Alright, let's not talk about him."

Upon arriving at the study, Meng Zhixue immediately put down her bag and took out her professional books.

Once she gets into a study mode, she becomes very focused.

After studying intensely for two hours, she was starting to feel exhausted. She closed her eyes and pressed her hands around her eyes to relax.

Zhou Yu got up and went to the kitchen to get a glass of warm milk.

"Drink this to replenish your nutrients." He handed the cup to Meng Zhixue.

Meng Zhixue said "Oh," took the milk, and sipped it.

The milk was at just the right temperature, and she felt much warmer after drinking it.

But before she could even put down her cup and say she was leaving, Zhou Yu reached out and pulled her into his arms, making her straddle his lap and pressing her slender back against the desk.

His breath softened, and he kissed her lips as he asked, "Baby, how's the studio thing going?"

Meng Zhixue pushed her hands against his strong chest, intending to say "I haven't thought about it yet," but suddenly a thought struck her, and she said instead, "I agree."

Zhou Yu had prepared himself to be rejected again, but upon hearing this answer, his hand on her waist tightened involuntarily, and he looked up in surprise.

"Really?" he asked.

"Really." Meng Zhixue nodded, then added, "However, I need to take good care of Zhuangzhuang first, until he goes to kindergarten and no longer needs my company. In the meantime, I'll also improve my professional skills so that I won't be caught off guard when I open my studio."

"Okay." Zhou Yu agreed with a smile, and kissed her again. "Why did you suddenly change your mind? I thought you would keep refusing."

Meng Zhixue thought for a moment and then confessed, "I didn't want to owe you more before, but then I thought about it again and realized that a friend of mine was right, so I agreed."

Actually, it was Ruan Qingyu's divorce that triggered her.

No matter how she refuses, these men will keep bothering her. So, if she doesn't want anything from them, isn't that just like Ruan Qingyu insisting on not dividing marital property after her divorce?

Don't feel sorry for men.

Don't mistreat yourself.

As I said before, to live a good life, you need a conscience. And if you lose your conscience, life will be even better!

Zhou Yu asked, "What did your friend say?"

Meng Zhixue blinked her almond-shaped eyes, making no attempt to hide anything: "She said I should learn to use men's resources to get what I want. Anyway, I asked you to stay away from me, but you refused, so it's okay for me to take advantage of you, right?"

Zhou Yu chuckled softly and kissed her lips again: "How is that taking advantage? I'm giving it to you willingly. As long as you want it, as long as I have it, I'm willing to give it to you."

Seeing the growing desire in his eyes as he was about to kiss her again, Meng Zhixue quickly added, "But right now I only accept kisses, not anything more intimate. And who knows, maybe one day I'll become indifferent, or maybe I won't even want kisses anymore, and I'll just run away."

Zhou Yu's expression stiffened for a moment, and his usually cool, peach-blossom eyes showed a rare hint of helplessness: "Baby, you really are a scumbag to the core. You're being so direct because you genuinely don't care about my feelings, huh?"

Meng Zhixue couldn't help but laugh, her two dimples becoming very obvious: "Yes."

She said, "So, if you think I'm not good enough, you can cut your losses now."

Use men's resources, and live a life that utilizes men's resources.

She's confident she can live well without men's resources; she just won't achieve her goal of "lying flat" anytime soon, but that's okay.

"So, what do you say?" Meng Zhixue asked, looking at the man in front of her with curiosity.

The Zhou family's heir is refined and noble, but his methods in the business world are ruthless and cold. He often scatters his opponents' ashes with a smile. How would you answer her?

Should we agree outright, or proceed cautiously step by step?
