Chapter 183: Chapter 182: Where There Are Women, There Are Intrigues

Long Jinghan knew that last time Shen Yuan had spent hundreds of thousands on her, so this time she didn’t dare ask for too much.

After looking around, she only chose a pair of white heeled sandals and a silver necklace.

Shen Yuan shook his head, “It’s rare that I take you out, buy a bit more. Do you like any bags or clothes?”

Long Jinghan cautiously said, “No need, Shen Yuan. You already bought me a lot last time; these two are enough.”

Shen Yuan thought to himself that this was just over 10,000, at most it would benefit him by just over 20,000, so he said in an indisputable tone:

“Then I’m not going to control you, but you must at least spend 100,000 today. If you don’t buy it here, you’ll have to buy it in another store.”

Shen Yuan’s voice wasn’t loud, but the Prada store was relatively quiet. Hearing such domineering words, two or three groups of customers turned their heads to look.

The women silently shook their heads, feeling that the men by their side were not competitive at all.

Look at him, he has to buy at least 100,000. Would you dare to say that!

And the men, following the sound, looked over with envy, feeling that their female companions simply couldn’t compare to the two women.

Look at them, fair-skinned, beautiful, with long legs. Do you have that look!

As Julia, who was servicing other customers, heard this, those damn memories suddenly surged up and attacked her wildly.

WuuWuu~

Clearly this big spender was her customer!

Damn you, Miss Zhou, you’ve killed a person!

Where is your army? Why don’t you let him come here and spend, spend, spend!

Looking at Shen Yuan’s serious expression, Long Jinghan was somewhat touched, then she nodded moved, “Okay.”

Qiao Lei pouted, feeling as if she had eaten an entire pack of sour plums.

This was the first time Shen Yuan had spent money in front of her, and he was not spending less than 100,000.

The key issue was that the girl wasn’t even the official girlfriend.

While she didn’t even qualify to spend 10,000.

Dammit!

Qiao Lei was experiencing this extreme imbalance for the first time.

If she had known, she wouldn’t have come along, and the feeling of disparity wouldn’t have been so intense.

Seeing that he had almost gauged it right, Shen Yuan figured it was time to throw her a bone, so he said to Qiao Lei, “You pick one too.”

“Huh?”

Qiao Lei was startled, then her eyes lit up with surprise as she slid her ample bosom away from Shen Yuan’s arm, “Then I’m off.”

“Go ahead.”

Shen Yuan waved his hand.

Although Qiao Lei didn’t show any good-feel index yet, what should be given still has to be given, but not too much.

Training different girls requires different methods.

Qiao Lei was confident and strong-willed, with a touch of paranoia. Shen Yuan didn’t want to be led by the nose by this type of girl; it was just right to use Long Jinghan to teach her a lesson.

Confidence is a good thing, but too much of it isn’t.

Especially being confident in front of someone like Shen Yuan.

Damn it, even someone high-level like Liew Menglu could be trained crystal clear by me, let alone a fledgling college girl like you?

Today had really been a rollercoaster of experiences for Qiao Lei, starting with accompanying Shen Yuan to a private bank to open an account, experiencing the privilege of the truly wealthy, and the disparities in life.

Then they went to a high-end Western restaurant for a meal, and Qiao Lei took many photos.

She didn’t find the Western meal particularly delicious; it was more about the atmosphere and the service.

It also made her realize that wealthy people don’t just care about taste; they pay more attention to the quality of life.

Meanwhile, she was somewhat longing and looking forward to her future life.

However, all those good feelings dissipated the moment she saw Long Jinghan getting into the car, turning instead into anger.

Along with Shen Yuan’s differential treatment, aside from anger, there was also some jealousy and a bit of grievance mixed in.

She knew it was inappropriate to be jealous and fight over favor, but she couldn’t help herself.

They were both lovers, so why should Shen Yuan treat her so well?

Shen Yuan was ready to spend 100,000 for her, but she got nothing.

In the end, she didn’t dare to hope for anything more; she just wanted Shen Yuan not to dislike her or drive her away.

But now that Shen Yuan was letting her pick one, Qiao Lei felt his care once again.

Though it was just one, it was still better than nothing.

At least Shen Yuan still cares about me.

Qiao Lei comforted herself mentally, then walked to the display of bags and turned to ask, “Shen Yuan, can I pick out a nice bag?”

Shen Yuan nodded, “Sure.”

Long Jinghan picked another bag worth over 30,000, bringing her total to over 50,000. Qiao Lei also picked a bag worth over 30,000.

Shen Yuan ended up spending over 80,000, but since Qiao Lei hadn’t earned any good-feel index, the system only returned three times the amount from Long Jinghan’s side.

But Shen Yuan didn’t care about these tens of thousands anymore.

Then, Shen Yuan took the two girls to LV, Balenciaga, Dior, and a few other stores.

He bought a total of 120,000 for Long Jinghan, including clothes, bags, jewelry, and perfume.

But for Qiao Lei, Shen Yuan just let her pick one thing from each store, spending a total of over 50,000 on her.

In total, the trip cost over 170,000, returning 360,000 corresponding to the 120,000 spent, effectively earning him 240,000, subtracting the 50,000 spent on Qiao Lei, netting him 190,000.

After the shopping, Shen Yuan, one girl on each arm, walked into the envy-filled gaze of the male onlookers down to the basement.

Qiao Lei initially wanted to sit in the front passenger seat but hesitated and restrained herself. Although this girl wasn’t the official girlfriend, she clearly meant more to Shen Yuan than herself did.

Qiao Lei got into the back seat, curiously asking, “So where are we going now?”

Shen Yuan turned the steering wheel, pressing the accelerator, “I’m taking you back to the International campus.”

“Ah?”

Qiao Lei looked pleadingly at Shen Yuan, “What about you guys?”

Shen Yuan replied directly, “We, of course, are going to the hotel to book a room.”

Long Jinghan’s cheeks flushed, shyly lowering her head.

Though it wasn’t her first time with Shen Yuan, it was the first time “booking a room” was mentioned in front of someone else.

Especially since she had meticulously prepared three outfits, planning to let Shen Yuan choose one.

Qiao Lei clicked her tongue; she obviously knew what going to a hotel meant.

“Then I might as well go too.”

Qiao Lei suggested.

“What are you going to do?”

Shen Yuan asked in confusion.

Qiao Lei said, “I’m going to have a bit of fun nearby, since you all are doing your thing.”

“Don’t join this bustle, I’ll take you back to school.”

Shen Yuan knew that Qiao Lei was about to take the bait, so he deliberately pushed her away.

With her rebellious nature, the more you push her, the more she wants to do it.

As expected, Qiao Lei muttered discontentedly, “What’s it to you if I go with you guys? Just hitching a ride to play around there.”

“You shouldn’t…”

Shen Yuan and Qiao Lei went back and forth a few times, and Qiao Lei’s desire to go grew stronger, until Shen Yuan still reluctantly agreed.

Upon arriving at St. Regis, Shen Yuan got out of the car with the two sisters and threw the keys of the Benz G-Class to the valet.

Once Qiao Lei got out, she complained, “This hotel again? It better not be the same suite as last time.”

“Why do you care so much?”

Shen Yuan pretended to be impatient, “Just go have fun, we’re heading up.”

“I…”

Qiao Lei choked up, then puffed out her chest, “I can go up too.”

“What are you going to do?”

Shen Yuan teased with a smile, “You want to be our third wheel?”

“I…”

Qiao Lei wanted to continue arguing, but she couldn’t find a reason to follow them.

Actually, she wanted to go up and mess up the “serious business” between the two.

But at this point, she was worried that if she went up, Shen Yuan would end up enjoying himself with both.

He’d be too pleased!

What a nice dream!

Just when Qiao Lei was about to leave, Shen Yuan suggested, “If you want to rest a bit, I can get another suite for you, and we could have dinner together later.”

“Sure!”

Qiao Lei agreed without thinking.

As long as it’s not the same suite, that way she could spend more time with Shen Yuan.

So Shen Yuan spoke to the front desk and opened another suite.

While taking the elevator, Qiao Lei asked Long Jinghan, “Classmate, what’s your name?”

Long Jinghan crisply responded, “I’m Long Jinghan, a sophomore majoring in accounting.”

“Oh, nice to meet you, I’m Qiao Lei.”

Qiao Lei responded politely.

Speaking of which, the two were competitors, they shouldn’t have been so courteous to each other.

However, Qiao Lei was actually intending to understand her rival better to be prepared for any battle.

Long Jinghan hummed, “I know you, you’re quite famous at school for playing cos.”

Qiao Lei revealed two cute dimples, “That’s right, if I didn’t have something unique and skilled, Shen Yuan wouldn’t have chosen me for the startup incubator.”

Qiao Lei subtly boasted that she was selected, and Long Jinghan picked up on it, too.

Although Long Jinghan was timid, she wasn’t a pushover, especially since she was the successor to the radio station chief and had been personally trained by Senior Fu.

“Yes, your skin is so fair, and you know how to cos, it’s normal for Shen Yuan to choose you.”

Long Jinghan started with a compliment and then gave a faint smile, “Actually, I also applied to the startup incubator, but Shen Yuan asked me to help Senior Fu before the public list was announced.”

Qiao Lei snorted coldly, realizing that Long Jinghan was not simple at all, still playing it so careful in front of Shen Yuan.

Talking about “helping”, it’s just flaunting that she was pre-selected.

Qiao Lei raised her head to look at Shen Yuan as if saying: Look, her true colors are showing, don’t be fooled by her pitiful appearance.

Shen Yuan immediately felt a headache, there really is rivalry wherever there are women.

Even such trivial matters have to be competitive.

How they met or who met whom first, does it matter?

After all, they are both my women.

It seems thinking about a harmonious large harem is out of the question; just managing two is already turning out like this, who knows what would happen if there were four or five together.

Seems the authenticity of those palace drama shows on TV is quite high.

The two women continued their subtle confrontations, and soon they arrived at the 45th floor.

Shen Yuan opened the Caroline Astor Suite for Qiao Lei, conveniently adjacent to the long-term suite of the class belle, making it convenient to switch companies if needed in the evening.

Shen Yuan thought smugly, even if he can’t have them side by side, at least he could alternate between them, right?

….

Meanwhile, Fang Minhui was sitting in the backseat of a new energy Didi car, picking up her phone to make a call to Shen Yuan.

Today Chen Ling had taken leave to return to her hometown, leaving her in the dormitory with her two other roommates.

She didn’t get along with those two roommates and didn’t want to stare them down, so she decided to stay out, especially since Shen Yuan had arranged a long-term room for her.

The call connected soon, and Fang Minhui asked, “Yuan Babe, where are you?”

On hearing this question, Shen Yuan was taken aback. What’s the situation?

Why the sudden check-up?

Could it be that she knows I brought the two of them to the St. Regis?

Shen Yuan had always brought the class belle to this hotel, and had even arranged a long-term room for her. When the class belle was not around, Shen Yuan also brought Mrs. Lin and Long Jinghan here.

“I’m outside, what’s up?”

Shen Yuan first obscured his location.

“Then, are you free to keep me company today?”

Fang Minhui’s voice came through the phone in a coquettish tone: “Lingling went home on leave today, and I don’t want to stay in the dorm, so I was hoping you’d keep me company.”

Shen Yuan thought, I already have two here, managing three really wouldn’t be easy, so he said, “Tonight might not be possible.”

Fang Minhui sounded somewhat disappointed, “Alright then, I’ll go to my suite at the St. Regis instead.”

Shen Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, “Hmm? You’re going to stay at the St. Regis?”

“Yes, I’m almost there.”

Shen Yuan’s heart sank, almost there??!!
