This Girl Wins Three Hundred Million Dollars

Chapter 124

The keyboard underneath Shen Youlin's fingers was smoking hot as he typed away. By bedtime, he had written less than 20,000 words but managed to moan and groan enough to get Yu Shu to stay in his hospital room overnight.

Yu Shu had uncovered all of his pen names except for the "88 Discount" one. This guy actually had a pen name called "Little Pink Bunny" under which he wrote romantic fiction aimed at women. The novels would start with overbearing CEOs and sweet indulgences in the upper class, only to take an unexpected sharp turn that sent the stories hurtling down a path of "dark fairy tales." He would typically use a cute pen name and sweet indulgent titles to lure in naive young girls before dropping them into dark pits. The readers would cry one moment and laugh the next, cursing the stories while still following them avidly, not knowing which was more interesting - the book reviews or the story content itself.

Deep into the night, Yu Shu sat propped up in the bed, still reading one of the novels on her phone.

"Stop reading!" Shen Youlin snatched her phone away. "It's already 1:30 AM, you should go to sleep."

Yu Shu had just finished a book and did feel a bit tired. She stretched lazily, "Plug in the charger for me."

With one hand, Shen Youlin plugged the charger into her phone. Then he lay down with a mischievous grin, "Satisfied with what you've read? Woman!"

"Quite satisfied. Keep up the good work tomorrow."

"Well if you're satisfied, don't I deserve a... reward of some kind, hmm?"

"Didn't I give you a 5,000 yuan cash reward already?"

"What?!" Shen Youlin exclaimed in anguish. "You giving a cash reward is no better than just tipping me - the platform takes a cut for itself!"

"No, no! You've misunderstood. I meant a reward, not a cash tip!"

Shen Youlin quickly got back on track, seeing Yu Shu looking confused. He took her hand and guided it towards a certain unmentionable area...

Yu Shu slapped him hard. "Your hand is about to fall off and you're still being naughty."

"Vicious shrew!" Shen Youlin cried out, cradling his privates and cursing.

"........"

...........

After tending to his "injury," Shen Youlin finally settled down. Yu Shu had been kept awake by his antics and was no longer sleepy, so she kicked him lightly. "Can't sleep, let's chat." 𝚏r𝐞𝗲𝚠eb𝚗o𝐯el.com

Shen Youlin opened his eyes groggily amid yawns, "Chat about what?"

"Your brother has surely been exposed to many excellent women from a young age. Why would he fall for someone like Zhao Wenqian?"

Shen Youlin's voice turned as cold as ice. "Woman, you dare bring up another man while in my bed?"

"Oh stop it, I'm just really curious."

"Well, I didn't understand it either until a couple years ago when I went to work at the company for a few months to make trouble for Zhao Wenqian. That's when I suddenly got it."

"Huh?"

"It's because he had only encountered outstanding women, so he ended up capsizing in a small stream. The women in our own family, I won't even mention - every single one has her own career and can be completely independent. Even our seemingly spendthrift grandmother invested in cosmetics and fashion companies back in the day that are now worth tens or hundreds of billions.

Then there are the women in the business world - each and every one is a vicious beast, even more cutthroat and vicious than the men. They speak with layers of hidden meanings, one sentence carrying several implications. You misstep for a moment and fall into a carefully dug pit. You barely climb out only to immediately face an even deeper pit."

"Let me give you an example. Say you're an overbearing CEO, the pride of the nation. But the women around you don't take you seriously at all. They're all like Yin Minbi - not our Yin Minbi with the nice figure, but a hostile, competing Yin Minbi with conflicting interests to yours. And it's not just one - every woman you could potentially encounter is like that."

"Your world is surrounded by venomous snake spirits and spider spirits, when suddenly a little white bunny appears. She can't hide her thoughts, and any craftiness is easily seen through. Ah, wouldn't you be entranced by such a soft, cute, and innocent little bunny? As a man, wouldn't your overpowering, homeless protective instinct find a target to latch onto?"

Yu Shu pondered this. "Unable to conquer Mount Everest, but one day you discover the scenery of a small hill is quite nice too, worth climbing and conquering?"

"Pretty much that idea. Plus back then, Zhao Wenqian had saved my brother's life - well, sort of saved his life anyway. With the prince having fallen on hard times and being around her day and night, there was also that 'life debt' filter. At a time like that, no matter how much you try to keep the lovebirds apart, the more inseparable they'll become, feeling their love can move heaven and earth."

"I think I'm starting to understand a bit."

"Actually, Zhao Wenqian and my brother were still somewhat tolerable when they first got married. She just loved to put on airs, but it wasn't until later that she started having more and more fanciful ideas, becoming greedier with a calculating mindset. Over time, she became twisted."

Yu Shu nodded. "So for love and marriage, the most important thing is that both people are well-matched in their values and way of thinking. I'm not talking about status or class - I mean being compatible in philosophy and worldview, having the same goals and being able to cooperate for mutual benefit in the long run."

"Exactly! You and I are very much on the same wavelength!"

"Are we really?"

"Aren't we?" He cleared his throat and recited solemnly, "I will resolutely follow Comrade Yu Shu's leadership, using Comrade Yu Shu's thought as guidance. I will conscientiously strengthen theoretical study and earnestly learn and implement all of Comrade Yu Shu's instructions..."

Yu Shu laughed and punched him lightly. "You really do have a way with words."

"Heheh..."

"You're so much better now. In the past, that smart mouth of yours really almost drove me to an early grave."

"Aiya, I thought we agreed not to bring up old grievances."

"I'm not, just reminiscing. Remember when I last had a stomach ache? It was because of you too - that time we ran into each other at the mall and you lied to me about our family going bankrupt."

"No way, you got that upset?"

"Yeah, I was sick from being 'frozen by bamboo shoots'. I had to go look up what that even was."

"Tsk tsk, stir-fried bamboo shoots are so delicious. I love them, I'll have someone prepare some authentic ones for you to try tomorrow."

Just thinking about the images she saw when searching before, Yu Shu felt her scalp tingle with revulsion. "No thanks."

"They're good, you should try them!"

"Let's go to sleep, we can talk about it tomorrow!"

The next day, the two slept in late and had brunch together. On the table were a cold bamboo shoot salad and a bowl of bamboo shoot soup that had been added.

Shen Youlin lifted a bite to Yu Shu's mouth. "Ahhh..."

Yu Shu leaned back in resistance, but eventually had no choice but to reluctantly take a small bite with her eyes squeezed shut...

Yu Shu!!

It was... actually quite delicious.

Seeing the change in her expression, Shen Youlin grinned. "Heh heh, tasty right?"

Yu Fanxing brought over some nutritious chicken soup to the hospital as a warm gesture. But the sight that greeted her was Shen Youlin feeding Yu Shu some bizarre, unidentifiable "poison." She stared blankly as Yu Shu calmly ate it without any change in expression.

"Auntie, your timing is really poor," said Shen Youlin.

He thought for a moment, then added, "Actually, no matter when you come, the timing is never good."
