Dusk was thickening, and Yu Yao stared out of the window at the night scene, focusing her gaze on a certain point, and spacing out.
Chen Zhongyuan noticed her blank expression and clearly saw that she was lost in thought.
Bringing the tips of her two fingers together, she lightly touched her cheek, "Are you tired?"
Yu Yao focused her eyes, regaining consciousness, turned her head and looked at the man: "No, I just feel a little boring."
"I bought a limited edition jewelry at an auction a few days ago, intending to give it to you, but since you had an incident those days, I didn't have the chance."
Suddenly, Chen Zhongyuan pulled out a box from his body. By looking at the appearance of the box, he knew that it was filled with jewelry.
Yu Yao's eyes fixated on the box, "A limited edition jewelry?"
"Hmm, would you like to take a look and see if it suits your fancy?"
Chen Zhongyuan pushed the box lightly in front of her, raising his lips to indicate that she should open it.
Yu Yao did not act pretentious either, naturally opening the box.
This is a very beautiful necklace, composed of countless diamonds and colorful gemstones. Under the refraction of the light, it emits a brilliant and colorful brilliance, shimmering brightly.
"The value of this necklace does not lie only in its appearance and material, but also in the cultural and historical significance it carries. I heard that a former British princess wore it to attend charity events, and I bid for it at two billion yuan."
Chen Zhongyuan smiled at her, joyfully explaining.
"Spend two billion just to bid for this? Mr. Chen, I suddenly realize, your money is easy to make."
Yu Yao's expression was stunned, looking at the necklace in her hand, she didn't think it was that good.
Beautiful is beautiful, but it's not worth that much money.
She herself had been a queen and even a empress dowager, and there were plenty of jewels and ornaments in the space. In her heart, she didn't feel that the jewels would become more valuable just because she had worn them.
Two billion yuan, really a fool, money is better given directly to her.
Yu Yao couldn't help but silently mutter to herself.
Chen Zhongyuan felt a mix of amusement and frustration. He had thought she would be delighted, only to find out that she was actually complaining about him wasting money.
"Since you've already bid for it, if you don't like it, just throw it away."
The man took the necklace from her hand and pretended to throw it into the trash can, not a bit reluctant, as if throwing away garbage.
"Oh no, what are you doing?"
Yu Yao's eyebrows jumped, and she quickly snatched it back, giving him a cute scolding look with one eye, "You spent so much money on bidding for it, and you even want to throw it away. You're such a spendthrift..."
She ruthlessly mocked the man in front of her for being a spendthrift.
"Then should I give it to another woman?"
The man leaned back against the seat, smiling and mocking her in a seemingly nonchalant manner.
"Dare you?"
She acted like a proud peacock, deliberately sticking out her chest and posing in an angry manner.
In the man's eyes, there was no sense of fear, but rather a sense of fun in her pretending to be intimidating.
"Haha..."
The man's cheerful laugh escaped from his lips.
Laughing Yu Yao's face turned red, and she sternly looked at him before ignoring him.
She began to play with the limited edition jewelry in her hand. Although it was very expensive, it was indeed beautiful.
But every time she thought about spending two billion yuan, she felt a pang of pain.
Chen Zhongyuan saw her happily playing with the jewelry, knew that she liked it, but felt bad about wasting money...
He shook his head and smiled, thinking that she was a small money hoarder.
"Like it and that's all that matters. Don't worry about the price."
The man reached out and took the jewelry from her hand, doting on her. "Let me put it on for you."
"Okay."
Yu Yao's red lips slightly curved, and she did not refuse.
Chen Zhongyuan helped her put on the jewelry necklace, and the flowing colors of the jewelry lightly dangled on her collarbone. The white and delicate skin looked even more beautiful and sparkling.
"It's very pretty and suits you very well."
The man leaned down and kissed her on the face, smiling softly.
Yu Yao smiled and took a small mirror out of her bag to check herself. She found that it really was very pretty.
After checking herself, she put the mirror back into her bag.
Her hand accidentally touched the phone screen, and it lit up instantly. A glance at the time on the screen revealed it was already 9:30 PM.
"It's getting late, let's go back home."
She said to the man.
"Okay."
Chen Zhongyuan nodded lightly, his suit jacket draped over his arm, and the two of them left the restaurant.
The next day, after having breakfast, Chen Zhongyuan drove to his company.
Yu Yao was bored and stayed at the villa.
The injury on her arm had already healed completely, and the bandage was removed last night. There were no traces left, and she had recovered well.
However, despite this, Chen Zhongyuan still refused to let her go to work at the company.
He said he couldn't bear to see her work hard and only asked her to stay comfortably in the villa.
He also gave her a set of car keys and said that if she got bored, she could go out and play by herself.
Yu Yao was not insistent on going to work. Originally, she joined Weisheng Group to get in touch with Chen Zhongyuan.
Now that her goal has been achieved, she naturally has the option to either work or not.
She touched her belly and said, "Last night after our intimate encounter, I ate the Dragon and Phoenix Pills for pregnancy."
Thinking about the two little lives growing inside her, in just 10 months, they could be born.
Chen Zhongyuan has already made it clear that he wants to marry her, but the problem is getting through Chen Laojun's approval.
If she has children with Chen Zhongyuan, then perhaps Chen Laojun would not be too opposed.
This is also the reason why Yu Yao chose to eat the baby-making pills at this time.
Yu Yao was feeling bored staying alone in the villa and didn't want to go out, so she curled up on the sofa, ready to kill time by browsing her phone.
As soon as she opened her phone, she saw several messages from Yu Yuanlin.
She clicked on the messages and quickly skimmed through them.
[A Yaoyao, your mother is like this person. Don't take what she says to heart. By the way, explain to Mr. Chen as well; it's not good for there to be misunderstandings.]
Yu Yao was just thinking about how to reply when a pop-up news article from Hong Kong Finance appeared on the page.
[News Network, Weisheng Group acquires Senhan Network Technology...
The brief message was incomplete due to space limitations.
Yu Yao usually doesn't pay much attention to Hong Kong news, but seeing the mention of Weisheng Group, she couldn't resist clicking in to see.
She quickly scanned through the news.
The content was about Weisheng Group acquiring Senhan Network Technology, presumably by Chen Zhongyuan.
Although Weisheng Group's industries are very broad, they are mainly concentrated in the fields of real estate, energy, transportation, infrastructure, finance, tourism, and culture.
She was not familiar with Senhan Network and didn't know exactly what they did.
But since Chen Zhongyuan acquired this company, there must be a purpose for him to do so.
Yu Yao didn't care too much about it and deleted the message after reading it.
Afterward, she accidentally scrolled to another entertainment news article that was also about her.
[Entertainment Revelation: Hong Kong's prominent capital tycoon, Mr. Chen, had a secret meeting with a mysterious woman in private. The two were completely intimate throughout the meeting and he presented her with extravagant gifts, which were suspected to be some limited edition jewelry... ]
The article was accompanied by several photos, including some of her and Chen Zhongyuan embracing and talking in a restaurant.
There were also photos of the two of them eating together, as well as the scene where Chen Zhongyuan presented her with a gift. The scene was secretly captured.
Although the photos were not very clear due to the night and lighting conditions, it was still possible to clearly see the faces of both Yu Yao and Chen Zhongyuan.
Now their relationship is likely unavoidable, and she wondered how Chen Zhongyuan would handle the situation.
"These paparazzi are really annoying. Chen Zhongyuan is not an entertainer, what do they want to take pictures of him for?"
Yu Yao frowned slightly and closed the page to continue browsing other pages.
This time, her face was not covered by the suit jacket, and it was visible throughout the photos.
Soon, someone who knew her identity recognized her and posted it on the network.
The netizens only then realized that the mysterious woman was actually Chen Zhongyuan's secretary, and it was also rumored that the two previous mysterious women caught on camera were her as well.
Even her family situation was exposed by netizens and posted online.
This incident stirred up a storm of reactions.
There were those who just wanted to watch the spectacle, some who were amused by it, but most people believed she didn't measure up to Chen Zhongyuan.
Particularly the Hong Kong's wealthy girls, they were even more resentful of this.
At a high-end tea restaurant located on Queen's Avenue, several fashionable Hong Kong rich girls gathered together to discuss the matter.
"This woman's background is so humble, how could she possibly be worthy of Mr. Chen?"
"Oh, you're getting angry over nothing. She's just a toy. Such a woman could never enter the front door of the Chen family."
"Do you think the gift Mr. Chen gave her is really a limited edition jewelry?"
"I'm not sure, but I heard that Mr. Chen actually bid on a limited edition jewelry at a charity auction a few days ago, and it's supposed to be worth 200 million..."
"Wow, 2 billion? Such an expensive limited edition jewelry, how could she possibly be worthy of it?"
A rich girl's face turned instantly red with anger, and her eyes flickered with intense jealousy.
"Haha, She may not be worthy, but she's got the limited edition jewelry. Why don't you try to attract Chen Zhongyuan yourself?"
"I do want to, but I'm afraid it might end up like Zhou Jiatong's. Oh, where is Zhou Jiatong? It's been a while since I've seen her out and about..."
"I'm not sure, probably crying in some corner due to heartbreak."
"Ha ha ha..."
"Ha ha ha..." The rich girls laughed so hard that they were bending forward and backward, their flowers blooming erratically.
