Returning to his senior year of high school, he went all in and made billions by buying at the botto

Guanlan Yujing Villa District, Jiangcheng County.

The moment the Hummer stalled, silence returned to the surroundings.

The 18-storied headquarters of Star Technology was currently dark, while in front of the 16 villas next door, several sensor-activated light sources had quietly turned on.

"Mr. Chen, we've arrived."

Lin Wan unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door, and found that Chen Mo had already stepped out of the driver's seat.

She then led the way, swiping her key to open the door to apartment 16. With a hint of self-satisfaction, she turned slightly and said softly, "As soon as I got the keys a couple of days ago, I had the housekeeping company come and thoroughly disinfect the place inside and out. Your master bedroom is on the second floor, facing south, with the best view. I've bought all your everyday clothes, formal wear, casual shoes, razors, and toiletries—everything is washed, dried, and ready to wear."

Chen Mo stepped onto the soft pure wool carpet, looked at the spotless furnishings in the living room and a pair of brand-new men's slippers in the entryway, and smiled approvingly: "Lin Wan, you're getting more and more thorough in handling things now. It seems that poaching you from the bank was the best decision I ever made."

"To receive praise from President Chen, all my hard work these past few days has been worthwhile." Lin Wan smiled, her eyes brimming with undisguised joy.

The long journey of several hundred kilometers, coupled with the cold wind at night, left Chen Mo feeling quite tired.

He changed his shoes, went up the spiral staircase to the second floor, and pushed open the door to the master bedroom.

The room temperature was set just right, and the air was even filled with a very faint, cool woody scent that was exactly the same as Lin Wan's.

"Mr. Chen, please wash up first. I'll go downstairs and make you a cup of milk to help you sleep," Lin Wan said softly, standing by the door.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Chen Mo unbuttoned his trench coat and hung it on the hanger, then turned and walked into the master bedroom's bathroom.

This bathroom is enormous, with a sunken whirlpool tub in the center.

Chen Mo had just loosened his collar and was about to grab a new towel from the washbasin when his gaze fell on a marble bench next to the bathtub, and he paused slightly.

On the stool, there were several pieces of underwear that had clearly not been taken away yet.

A black lace trim was faintly visible, and a thin silk nightgown was draped beside it.

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow and instantly realized what was going on.

Lin Wan probably left in too much of a hurry in the afternoon and forgot the personal clothes she had changed into in the bathroom.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen on the first floor.

Lin Wan was standing in front of the stove, watching the milk in the pot bubbling slightly.

Just as she was lost in thought, a detail suddenly flashed through her mind—

This afternoon, before picking up Chen Mo at Changhu Airport, she had gone back to seat 16 to take a shower and change her clothes because she had been working overtime in the office all night.

She casually left her underwear on the stool in the largest bathroom on the second floor!

"broken!!"

Lin Wan's originally fair and porcelain-like face turned bright red all the way to the roots of her neck in that instant.

Ignoring the milk still warming in the pot, she ran almost frantically upstairs in her high heels, forgetting to knock before turning the doorknob and rushing into the master bedroom.

"Mr. Chen! I... I forgot to take something..."

Lin Wan's voice was filled with intense shyness and trembling.

However, when she rushed into the room and saw that the frosted glass door of the bathroom was half open, and Chen Mo was turning around with a stack of newly opened towels in his hand, her gaze inevitably fell on the marble stool.

Eyes facing each other.

Lin Wan felt as if she were on fire, so ashamed that she wished she could dig a hole in the ground and disappear into it.

She bit her red lips tightly, and like a startled rabbit, she darted over in her high heels, stuffing the stack of black silk and lace into her arms and holding it tightly.

Because of her hasty movements, her full and voluptuous breasts heaved violently under the pressure of her silk clothing, and her eyes even welled up with tears due to extreme shyness, making her extremely endearing.

Chen Mo looked at the stunningly beautiful general manager in front of him, who was blushing and at a loss for what to do. Instead of teasing, his eyes held a hint of amusement.

He took a half step forward, his height giving him an innate sense of oppression. He lowered his head slightly, leisurely observing Lin Wan's earlobes, which were so red they seemed about to bleed.

"Manager Lin, I remember this villa, it seems to have five rooms, right? You live on the same floor as me?"

Lin Wan felt the masculine aura emanating from Chen Mo instantly envelop her.

She instinctively took a step back, clutching her private clothes tightly to her chest, and stammered as she explained:

"Mr. Chen, please don't misunderstand. There's a bathtub in the master bedroom, and I prefer taking baths. I'm staying in the adjacent bedroom. I... I didn't know you'd be back suddenly tonight. I left in a hurry this afternoon, and my clothes..."

Her voice grew softer and softer until it was barely audible, and she didn't dare look Chen Mo in the eye with her beautiful almond-shaped eyes.

"fine."

Looking at her shy demeanor, which was rarely seen on ordinary days, Chen Mo smiled gently. He suddenly reached out and gently pinched Lin Wan's slightly flushed cheek, chuckling softly, "You even remembered to prepare the fragrance for me. You are indeed thoughtful."

His warm fingertips touched her cheek, and Lin Wan trembled as if electrocuted, the clothes she was clutching tightly becoming her only support at that moment.

The touch was fleeting, yet it cast a huge rock into the lake of her heart, causing ripples to spread endlessly.

"I...I'll go heat up some milk for you right away!" She practically squeezed out the words from her throat, not daring to linger for another second. She turned and fled as if running away, her steps unsteady.

She clutched the clothes in her arms tightly, as if they were a shield to conceal her overwhelming embarrassment and panic.

Only after closing the master bedroom door and leaning against the cold door panel did Lin Wan dare to breathe deeply.

The spot on her cheek where he had been touched still retained a distinct warmth, mingling with the faint fragrance of the silk fabric in her bosom, creating a dizzying and ambiguous atmosphere.

She raised her hand to cover her face; the skin beneath her palm was burning hot.

Downstairs in the kitchen, the milk pot had already boiled over, making a soft sizzling sound on the stove.

She hurriedly turned off the stove and frantically cleaned up, her movements lacking their usual efficiency and showing a distracted panic.

Upstairs in the master bedroom bathroom, Chen Mo turned on the tap, and warm water gushed out.

He looked at himself in the mirror, and the smile on his face gradually faded, turning into a gentle one.

The cool, woody scent in the air seemed not to have completely dissipated.

He is not a slow-witted person.

He was not unaware of the changes in Lin Wan during this period, the thoughtfulness and closeness that went beyond that of an ordinary subordinate, and even her extremely cute shyness at this moment, and the feelings that were quietly growing within her.

only……

He scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on his face, interrupting his thoughts.

Now is not the time to dwell on romantic feelings; let things take their course.

Twenty minutes later.

Chen Mo changed into a gray cotton loungewear set that Lin Wan had specially prepared for him, and went downstairs.

The lobby was quiet, and the moonlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows shone on the gleaming marble floor.

On the rosewood table in the center of the living room, a cup of perfectly warm milk sits quietly.

Chen Mo walked over, picked up the cup, and took a sip; the milk flavor was rich and creamy.

He walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window and looked out at the pitch-black night view of Jiangcheng County.

"Liu Xin..."

Chen Mo finished the milk in his glass in one gulp and turned to go upstairs.
