Chapter 722: Chapter 434: Showdown, let’s the three of us live a good life together_2

As she spoke, she looked up at Lin Yuchang on the bed, “We’ve been talking like this, and there was quite a bit of noise just now. Why can’t she wake up?”

Lin Yuchang felt like crying but had no tears. It’s not that I don’t want to wake up, I can only get up after you leave the room.

If it weren’t for the proper discipline of an actress, Lin Yuchang would have gone on strike and stopped acting long ago.

Can you just leave the room after you’re done? My thigh is really itchy.

Shen Yuan smiled slyly: “Is there a possibility that she never slept at all?”

“Hmm?”

Dai Lu suddenly became tense, “You’re joking, right?”

The palms of Lin Yuchang’s hands also began to sweat. What did Shen Yuan mean by saying that? Is he confronting me directly now?

“Alright, stop pretending to be asleep, get up.”

Shen Yuan pulled at the quilt on the bed.

Dai Lu’s eyes widened, showcasing her Carslan beauty, and within her gaze, Lin Yuchang actually sat up looking sheepish.

She opened her mouth and after a long time, pointed at Lin Yuchang and said: “Yuchang, weren’t you drunk and sleeping deeply? What are you up to?”

Lin Yuchang blushed, “I’m sorry, Lulu.”

“Ahhh, what is all this, it’s all messed up! I’ve lost all face, I don’t want to live anymore!”

Dai Lu covered her face, her legs flailing on the ground like a tantrum-throwing child, “Ahh ahh, I’m so embarrassed, I can’t take this!”

Shen Yuan watched this dramatic scene unfold, finding it especially amusing.

He really didn’t want things for these two girlfriends to develop like Lih Meng and Lih Xiao, with their secret love. Isn’t it more fun for three people to attend classes together and have a good time?

“I get it now, from the beginning you two were setting a trap for me. I wondered why Yuchang was so keen on inviting me to her home for dinner, and why she, who normally doesn’t drink, even opened a bottle of white liquor.”

“Shen Yuan, you, you lured me into the room on purpose!”

Dai Lu felt a tightness in her chest, the fact that she had been deceived by her closest girlfriend.

Lin Yuchang also felt guilty, lowering her head and saying, “I’m sorry, Lulu.”

The two stared at each other for a long time, and Dai Lu let out a light sigh, “Forget it, you owe me an apology, and I owe you one too. After all, I slept with your lover.”

Dai Lu felt the only silver lining was that since Yuchang knew, she wouldn’t have to feel guilty or like a betrayer when she was with Shen Yuan in the future.

Shen Yuan carried Dai Lu onto the bed, hugging one with each arm: “That’s more like it, let’s just live happily together from now on.”

“It’s all your fault, all your fault!”

Dai Lu playfully hit Shen Yuan a couple of times, then turned to tickle Yuchang: “You siren, you must have eavesdropped for a while just now. I don’t care, you were eavesdropping just now, now it’s my turn, I want to listen and watch!”

“Ah?”

Lin Yuchang’s cheeks flushed red, she had not expected Dai Lu to accept reality so quickly, let alone become an observer.

“No way, Lulu, I was just listening, didn’t see anything.”

“I don’t care, since you and Shen Yuan planned this trap today, I have to get my revenge.”

Saying this, Dai Lu turned to Shen Yuan, “Hurry, Shen Yuan, go for her!”

Shen Yuan, of course, was happy to oblige such a request, and immediately reached out his ‘devil’s claw’ toward Lin Yuchang: “Come on, you’ve been listening for so long, you must be bursting with curiosity.”

Lin Yuchang did not share Dai Lu’s enthusiasm, her fair cheeks were all anxiety: “This, this isn’t appropriate, is it?”

……..

……..

The next morning at breakfast, when the two girlfriends looked at each other, they both felt a bit strange, as if, besides being best friends, there was another inexplicable relationship added.

“Yuchang, don’t ever let word of this get out, we need to save face.”

Dai Lu felt that such an episode was too fantastical, something she’d only seen in novels had actually happened to her.

“I need to save face too, I certainly won’t talk about it,” Lin Yuchang whispered, drinking her porridge, feeling somewhat embarrassed in front of her girlfriend after waking up from a completely sober state in the morning.

“It’s just giving Shen Yuan a bargain,” Dai Lu gritted her teeth.

There’s still a faint tearing sensation below her abdomen. She often works out, so her recovery is quite fast, already a lot better than last night.

At this point, Dai Lu suddenly lowered her voice: “But fair is fair, that guy is seriously tough. How do you manage to handle it with your small frame usually?”

Lin Yuchang was stunned for two seconds, then looked at her with astonishment: “Lulu, hey, why are you suddenly talking about this…”

“Take the opportunity to tell me while that guy isn’t up yet.”

…….

These last few days, Shen Yuan didn’t have much on his schedule, spending some time on the transfer of industrial shares and arrangements for corporate management.

Jingfu Health is already on the right track, with profits rising steadily, so Shen Yuan doesn’t need to worry about its management.

He is the third-largest shareholder in Mu Medical, also with no intention to participate in management, simply waiting for his annual dividend and settlement.

The club and the golf course are his wholly-owned companies. He hasn’t changed the management framework but has adjusted positions in finance and human resources.

Profit and management at the club are very stable, but the golf course isn’t doing well; it’s not making money, nor is it losing any, so it can’t be considered a positive asset.

After asking the management to come up with a plan, Shen Yuan took a brief look and then handed it over to Dai Lu for evaluation.

Dai Lu took this matter to heart and, two days later, came up with an evaluation report and a proposal for improvements, which Shen Yuan then passed on to the management of the golf course.

If the profits aren’t satisfactory in three months, a major shake-up will take place; otherwise, the large framework will remain unchanged.

In the meantime, he also attended the shareholders’ meeting of the law firm, and unsurprisingly, Shen Yuan was elected as the vice-chairman of Chenlang Law Firm.

The shareholder structure of the law firm is quite complex, and its operations are overly intricate and require strong professionalism. Shen Yuan has no plans to get involved in management.

But those shrewd shareholders, openly and covertly, are all testing Shen Yuan.

Operations and profits at the security company are decent, and Su Guodong’s attitude is very positive, so Shen Yuan only arranged finance and personnel without making any other adjustments.

Tan Xin has officially started working. Shen Yuan had her go directly to the villa in Silver Lake Bay, which was just perfect for helping Ji Ya oversee minor renovations and purchasing.

As for her brother, Shen Yuan rented an apartment for him in the neighboring community.

After all, it’s strange for a grown man to live together, even if he has some mental issues.

The live-in maid has been selected, a 46-year-old auntie with over a decade of experience in the domestic service industry, and she cooks exceptionally well.

Finding a maid who can cook to Shen Yuan’s particular taste isn’t easy, especially since he is so picky.

After trying six or seven, Shen Yuan got tired of all the food tasting.

Initially, this auntie didn’t want to live-in, but her son had just graduated and hadn’t found a suitable job. Shen Yuan arranged a position for him at Jingfu Health and raised her salary, so she agreed to come.

Of course, in a 1000-square-meter villa, it would be exhausting for her to take care of all the household chores alone.

She is only responsible for the three meals + morning fruits + afternoon tea, occasional late-night snacks, and cleaning the first and second-floor public areas, as well as Shen Yuan, Ji Ya, and Tan Xin’s bedrooms.

For other areas’ cleanliness and maintenance of the garden and swimming pool, Ji Ya would arrange for housekeeping services to come every 2-3 days.

On this Tuesday afternoon, Shen Yuan was lounging in a rocking chair, basking in the garden sunlight, with Chen Na beside him, five months pregnant, covering her bulging belly, face wearing a tranquil smile.

These past few days, Chen Na said it was too stuffy at home, so Shen Yuan had the chauffeur drive the Phantom to bring her over to Green Bamboo Lake.

It was also her first time here.

There was a small round table placed between them, brimming with fruit and nuts, with Chen Na peeling grapes and occasionally feeding them into Shen Yuan’s mouth.

“The little one has been moving quite a bit lately; do you think it’s a boy or a girl?”

Shen Yuan smiled and said, “How could I possibly guess accurately? Either a boy or a girl is fine. If it’s a boy, he should be as handsome as me, and if it’s a girl, she should be as beautiful as you.”

Chen Na gently touched her bulging belly, her tender face radiating the glow of motherhood, “Have you thought of names for them? It would be best to have one for a boy and another for a girl.”

“I’m not culturally savvy enough for that; it is really a bit difficult. Later, I’ll ask Old Shen to help me think of one.”

“Okay.”

As the two of them were chatting, Ji Ya came out from the living room and whispered into Shen Yuan’s ear: “Boss, you have an appointment with a dance troupe tonight, do we need to reschedule?”

Shen Yuan paused, having forgotten about it these past few days.
