In the living room, Tan Hua was chatting animatedly with her colleagues.

When she saw Xu Ying walk over, she was a little surprised.

"Yingying, where did you just go?"

Xu Ying felt a little guilty and forced herself to stay calm.

"My stomach felt a bit upset, so I used the toilet in the guest room. What are we having for dinner tonight?"

"Qi Sheng booked a private chef. A culinary team will be coming over later to cook for us. The budget is 2,000 yuan per person."

Tan Hua didn’t think much of it and went back to chatting with her colleagues.

DING!

Xu Ying subconsciously glanced at her phone.

A message from Qi Sheng was on the screen. She quickly unlocked her phone to read it.

Qi Sheng: "Send me your bank card number."

Xu Ying: "Oh, okay. One moment."

She quickly sent her card number over.

Soon after, she received a text message notification from her bank about a transfer.

’One, ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand... 300,000!’

Seeing the string of numbers, Xu Ying almost couldn’t stop herself from crying out.

Xu Ying: "This is?"

Qi Sheng: "That’s your allowance for the next six months. If you behave well, there will be bonuses."

Xu Ying: "Ahhh! I could just die, I love you so much!"

’My ex-boyfriend was handsome too, not that different from Qi Sheng.’

’But what good is being handsome? Would he have been willing to give her 300,000 yuan for allowance?’

’And this was just her allowance for half a year.’

’By that calculation, she was now a high-earner making 50,000 a month.’

’As long as she kept Qi Sheng happy, the bags and clothes he’d buy her wouldn’t even be part of this allowance.’

’Just thinking about it made her happy!’

From that moment on, she suddenly began to understand Tan Hua’s calm demeanor.

Her job as a counter girl was no longer her primary means of survival.

With this income, she naturally no longer needed to worry about making a living.

’Given Qi Sheng’s generosity, even if they broke up in the end, he probably wouldn’t let her walk away empty-handed.’

’Her youth was precious; spending it with Qi Sheng was a much better deal.’

’Even if Qi Sheng got tired of her one day, with her looks and figure, there would be no shortage of guys fighting to take his place.’

"Yingying, did something good happen to you?"

Miduo asked, looking curiously at the radiant smile on Xu Ying’s face.

"Yeah, my family’s home was demolished for redevelopment, and we got a payout."

Xu Ying came up with an excuse that would be easily accepted by everyone.

This way, they wouldn’t start spreading rumors when her quality of life improved later on.

Her colleagues erupted, all chattering at once.

"What’s going on? Has our store been visited by the God of Wealth?"

"First, Tan Hua finds an amazing, rich, and handsome boyfriend like Qi Sheng, and now Xu Ying’s family home gets redeveloped."

"When is my financial luck going to turn around?!"

Hearing her colleague’s envious sigh, Xu Ying couldn’t help but snark internally.

’There is a God of Wealth, alright. And his name is Qi Sheng.’

It was because of Qi Sheng that both her and Tan Hua’s destinies had changed.

She couldn’t say they’d be living in absolute luxury, but at the very least, they wouldn’t have to worry about food or clothing.

After a while, Qi Sheng also came out of the bedroom.

He had changed into a set of loose-fitting pajamas and greeted them with a smile.

"Thanks for coming, everyone. I bought plenty of alcohol, so feel free to drink as much as you want today. You’re all welcome to stay the night."

The apartment had four suites and a maid’s room.

Housing a dozen or so people was no problem at all.

"Wow, thank you, Young Master Qi! In that case, let’s drink up and experience the joy of living in a mansion."

Even Miduo couldn’t contain her delight.

’Aside from this opportunity, they would probably never get to live in such a luxurious mansion in their entire lives.’

Tan Hua naturally wouldn’t object to Qi Sheng’s suggestion and also warmly invited them to stay the night.

They could just have the property management buy and deliver some daily necessities later.

Soon, the private chef team that Qi Sheng had booked arrived at the apartment.

They brought their own kitchenware, as well as a dazzling array of rare ingredients.

The girls delightedly took photos and posted them to their Moments.

They sat on the hundred-thousand-plus yuan sofa, watching the culinary team prepare a lavish dinner.

The red wine they would be drinking later was high-end stuff, costing several thousand yuan a bottle.

Even if it was just to experience Tan Hua’s happy life for a single day, they were completely content.

Only Tan Hua and Xu Ying were the calmest in the group.

One was the hostess of the home, and the other was now with Qi Sheng.

They would naturally get used to this kind of luxurious life in the future.

In less than an hour, the private chef team had finished preparing one beautifully plated, sumptuous dish after another.

"Thank you for choosing us, Mr. Qi. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again."

Qi Sheng smiled and saw them to the elevator.

When he returned, he poured some of the decanted red wine into the glasses in front of each of the girls.

"Thank you~"

Qi Sheng poured a round, gave Tan Hua a slight nod, and then briefly spoke.

"Thank you all for coming to our housewarming. You are Huahua’s colleagues, and also her friends."

"I hope you all can continue to get along happily and that this friendship will last."

"Furthermore, I also wish that you all can settle down in Chengdu soon and find your ideal partners. Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

The girls were very obliging, standing up to clink glasses with Qi Sheng.

The clinking of wine glasses echoed throughout the spacious, hundred-plus-square-meter living room.

A budget of 2,000 yuan per person was considered an extremely high standard in a second-tier city like Chengdu.

The dazzling array of rare ingredients had been skillfully prepared by a five-star hotel chef.

They were turned into delicious dishes, so tasty you couldn’t stop eating.

By the end of the lavish dinner, everyone was satisfied beyond words.

They even finished three bottles of Penfolds red wine.

As the drinking continued, the apartment practically turned into a karaoke bar.

Even Tan Hua was persuaded to drink quite a bit.

Her head spinning, she lay in Qi Sheng’s arms.

She wrapped her arms around Qi Sheng’s neck and kissed him as if no one else was there.

"Wow, Huahua, you’re so bold!"

Xu Ying watched with envy from the crowd, joining in with the whooping and cheering.

She knew very well in her heart that this was a privilege she would never enjoy.

’But when she thought about how she wouldn’t have to worry about making a living anymore, not being the official girlfriend didn’t seem like such a big deal.’

’When she got the chance to go on a private date with Qi Sheng, she could still enjoy the same kind of happiness as Tan Hua.’

’Even if it was just a short-term trial, at least she would have experienced it, right?’

...

It was almost midnight when Qi Sheng put a stop to the increasingly wild antics of the women.

He had Miduo take charge of arranging them into the different rooms.

"I’ll just sleep in the maid’s room. You guys can take the guest rooms."

Having received a meaningful look from Qi Sheng, Xu Ying blushed and volunteered to take the smallest room, the maid’s room.

"Wow, Yingying, you’re so nice! Anyway, you and Huahua are so close, you’ll have plenty of chances to stay over in the future."

Her colleagues were naturally delighted, as none of them wanted to stay in the "cramped" maid’s room.

Although, Qi Sheng’s maid’s room was actually bigger than the apartments they rented.

Excluding Xu Ying, there were nine people in total.

They split up evenly into the three guest rooms.

"Every suite has its own private bathroom and bathtub, so you all should get some rest soon."

With that, Qi Sheng carried Tan Hua back to their master bedroom.

After placing Tan Hua on the bed, Qi Sheng went into the bathroom and filled the bathtub with warm water.

He returned to the bedroom and picked up the groggy Tan Hua.

They soaked in the Duravit tub, enjoying its comfortable massage function.

Perhaps because she had drunk too much, Tan Hua was restlessly rubbing against him.

By the time they left the bathroom, an hour had already passed.

The already-drunk Tan Hua had completely turned into a boneless puddle.

Qi Sheng carried her back to the bed, where she let out a cute snore.

With Qi Sheng’s current Physique, it always took Tan Hua using all sorts of methods to help him fall asleep satisfied.

But now, Tan Hua was unconscious, so she obviously couldn’t be as cooperative as usual.
