"Pour it out."
"Huh?"
Shen Yutong clearly did not understand, "Pour what?"
Zhou Wang sighed helplessly. He had to softly explain again. This time, Shen Yutong finally understood and quickly followed his instructions.
...
Over an hour later.
"Mmm, I got it."
Shen Yutong replied to Zhou Wang but received no response. She quietly looked up and discovered Zhou Wang was already asleep, emitting a soft snore.
It was her first time seeing Zhou Wang asleep. It was an image she hadn’t dared to dream of during countless days and nights before.
Turns out, when he was asleep, he wasn’t as handsome, and his aura wasn’t as strong. He seemed like just an ordinary guy... an ordinary guy she could reach out and touch.
Shen Yutong couldn’t help but touch Zhou Wang’s nose, then unconsciously chuckled aloud. But she feared waking him and quickly covered her mouth.
Thinking back now, Shen Yutong didn’t even know when she started falling so deeply...
Perhaps it was from the day Su Yajing fell for him, when she watched Zhou Wang transfer 188,000 yuan to Su Yajing and give her a Hermes Birkin bag...
No, Zhou Wang originally meant to give her three bags, but Su Yajing only accepted one.
At that time, Shen Yutong simply couldn’t believe there was such a generous man in the world.
The key was, Zhou Wang wasn’t a man who needed to rely purely on material goods to win over women.
Maybe some seeds had already started to sprout then?
At this moment, nestled in Zhou Wang’s embrace, feeling his warmth and heartbeat, it felt surreal to Shen Yutong.
She was realistic, materialistic, and had dreamed of becoming a glamorous figure...
Yet, deep down, she had a timid and traditional side influenced by her upbringing.
Before, Shen Yutong thought her happiest future would be finding a man who was both wealthy and loved her, having a house, a BMW, and leading a peaceful life. Helping her family would then be her greatest pride.
"You probably won’t marry me, but I’ll still give myself to you..."
Shen Yutong slightly raised her head, gazing at Zhou Wang’s sharply defined profile and murmured.
And today, although Zhou Wang hadn’t really taken her, as he explained, if it was her first time, the setting was too careless...
But they were only a step away.
So for Shen Yutong, she already considered herself Zhou Wang’s woman.
She just hadn’t figured out... how to tell Su Yajing.
Lost in thought, Shen Yutong hugged Zhou Wang quietly for a while, and when she saw the time pointing to midnight, she sighed softly and carefully stood up.
She tidied her scattered clothes, picked up her phone with more than ten missed calls, and reluctantly glanced at Zhou Wang one last time before quietly opening the door and leaving.
Leaving the private screening room, she rubbed her slightly sore chest and took the elevator back to the 33rd floor of the Yue Center apartment.
At her doorstep, just as Shen Yutong was about to take out her keys to open the door, her phone vibrated.
She picked it up and an instant brightness filled her eyes. She hurriedly opened it. It was a pinned message from Zhou Wang:
"Please accept the payment: ¥200,000.00."
"Buy some clothes or whatever before you go to the set, let me know if it’s not enough."
Shen Yutong held her breath.
200,000 yuan!
Although she had witnessed this with Su Yajing, this time, she was the recipient.
After the excitement, Shen Yutong sent several shy emojis to Zhou Wang and obediently replied, "Okay, I’ll listen to you," before accepting the transfer.
After accepting the transfer, she quickly opened a chat window with Yu Duo and transferred 10,000 yuan to her.
This was compensation for that bottle of perfume.
After explaining the situation, without waiting for Yu Duo’s reply, Shen Yutong lingered at the door for a while, as if making up her mind about something, then she took out her key and opened the door to room 3308.
The room was still brightly lit. Her mother, Zhang Lifang, brother-in-law Liu Chao, and sister Shen Yurou hadn’t gone to bed yet. Only Shen Yuming, who had his school opening ceremony to attend, was gone to the school dormitory.
Seeing Shen Yutong walk in, Zhang Lifang was the first to stand up, angrily chastising her, "Yutong, where did you go? Do you know how worried we were? You weren’t answering your phone..."
"Yeah, Tongtong, I’ve got to say something too. Whatever you’re doing, you need to let us know. Do you know I was about to call the police??"
Her usually kind brother-in-law, Liu Chao, now looked rather stern.
Only Shen Yurou remained silent, a hint of concern in her eyes as she looked at Shen Yutong.
"Mom, brother-in-law, you should move out by tomorrow morning."
Shen Yutong took a deep breath and didn’t respond to their accusations, merely stated.
"Yutong, what did you say?"
Zhang Lifang was taken aback, and Liu Chao frowned.
"I said... you should move out by tomorrow."
Having spoken, Shen Yutong felt all her tension and fear dissipate, leaving her expression extraordinarily calm.
"Tongtong, what are you talking about?"
Still not fully understanding, Zhang Lifang hesitated, while Liu Chao asked in a deep tone, "What, you have a problem with your mom and sister staying here for a few days? We are your family. Have you thought about our feelings saying something like that? Aren’t you going to apologize to your mom and sister??"
"It’s not about driving you away. You just shouldn’t stay here, but I can book a hotel for you..."
