Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 266 "The Half-Open Door"

Ding!
Zhou Wang heard a system prompt halfway through, but he naturally had no time to check it at this time.

……

In the moonlit room, the entangled fish jumped a few times and finally sank to the bottom.

Everything was silent, only the heavy breathing exhaled heat in the air.

Hugging each other, in a mess, at the last moment, on the kicked-around mess of bedding, Shen Yurou still kissed Zhou Wang tightly.

Zhou Wang was a little confused again.

He looked at Shen Yurou, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

……

I don’t know how long it took, Zhou Wang patted Shen Yurou.

There was a slight popping sound, and as the dough rippled, Shen Yurou moved her body away, curled up to the side and continued to breathe.

Zhou Wang turned over and sat up, found his pajamas, touched them, and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he brought a cigarette... He really wanted to smoke one at this time.

He took out a cigarette, moved to the sofa, and took out the Zippo lighter that Xu Wenxi bought for him. Zhou Wang didn't care that Shen Yutong was sleeping inside, and lit the cigarette with a "click".

Shen Yutong was so sleepy that it was unlikely that she would wake up. Just now, Shen Yurou lost control and made a sound that was obviously louder than the normal decibel. There was no movement inside...

In fact, even if Shen Yutong really woke up, Zhou Wang felt that he would not care much.

Maybe it was because of Shen Yutong's personality that Zhou Wang didn't have so many concerns when facing her. He always felt that Shen Yutong would understand...she was so confident.

Click! Click!
Playing with the Zippo lighter co-branded with Modoli in his hand, Zhou Wang let his mind go.

In the past, Zhou Wang didn’t like using this kind of metal lighter. After all, the loss rate of lighters was too high. Lighters of this brand cost hundreds of yuan, and the co-branded ones usually cost thousands of yuan. It would still be painful if they were lost.

But now, Zhou Wang definitely doesn't care about this. Xu Wenxi bought him ten at a time, so if they were lost, they were lost...

What’s a bit funny is that when Xu Wenxi placed the order, she also said that Zippo had released an 18K gold lighter. It was simple in style, just pure gold, and asked Zhou Wang if he wanted it.

Zhou Wang took a look and saw that the lighter cost more than 20 yuan. He rolled his eyes at Xu Wenxi on the spot.

Although I have a lot of money, I'm not stupid, okay?
It's such an ugly thing, even if you buy it, no one can tell that it's worth over 20 yuan. Are you sick?

There are no reviews for that lighter in the official flagship store on Taobao, and I don’t know what kind of fool would pay for it…

While Zhou Wang was thinking about all sorts of things, Shen Yurou on the carpet suddenly sat up, then moved to the sofa with some difficulty, and snuggled into Zhou Wang's arms without saying a word.

While Zhou Wang was stunned, Shen Yurou had already fallen into his arms, her soft body pressed tightly against Zhou Wang, and she hugged his neck like a cat seeking comfort.

He didn't say anything, but just raised the cigarette in his hand a little higher to avoid accidentally burning Shen Yurou, and his other hand tightened Shen Yurou's waist.

Feeling Zhou Wang's movements, Shen Yurou lowered her head and leaned into Zhou Wang's arms. Even though she didn't say anything, Zhou Wang seemed to feel the attachment that was about to overflow from her body at this moment.

This woman, who was crying and saying “no, no” twenty minutes ago, became obedient after being scolded.

"Zhou Wang, if we do this, what will you and Yutong do..."

To Zhou Wang's surprise, she was the first to speak, her tone filled with complex emotions.

"Whatever, just keep it as it is."

Zhou Wang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not going to play with you just to get away with it. I will take the responsibilities I should take..."

Perhaps the words Zhou Wang used were too harsh. Shen Yurou scratched Zhou Wang in protest, but it was no different from scratching an itch.

She hesitated for a moment before whispering, "How about we just pretend that what happened tonight never happened. You, you should just stay with Yutong. I won't blame you, and I won't tell Yutong..."

If you really think so, why do you hold me so tight, as if you were afraid that I would run away!
Zhou Wang complained in his heart, but his face was calm and composed, "Have you ever heard of a saying..."

As he spoke, Zhou Wang lifted Shen Yurou's chin and looked directly into her eyes that concealed confusion, anxiety, and expectation:

"Only children make choices, and I am an adult, so... I want both you and Tongtong!"

...Ignoring the fact that Zhou Wang's words were actually pretty mean, the domineering Mary Sue vibe instantly came into being.

Shen Yurou opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say for a moment. Her slightly moving lips seemed to be a reflection of her conflicting inner thoughts.

"Let me tell you this, Sister Yurou, in fact, besides Tongtong, I have other girlfriends...Tongtong also knows it."

Zhou Wang sighed and stated another fact.

"No wonder..."

Shen Yurou was stunned when she heard this, but she murmured.

"What's the wonder?"

Zhou Wang asked curiously.

"Sometimes I see Yutong in a daze, with an unhappy expression, but I don't know why she is sad. Now I understand..."

Zhou Wang fell silent after hearing this, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

Although Zhou Wang seldom gets entangled, he always adheres to the principle of "don't regret what you have done" and just strides forward, but it does not mean that he really has no psychological burden at all.

Occasionally, Zhou Wang would wonder how these women around him really viewed him...

They are all living people, with their own thoughts and uncontrollable emotions. Perhaps, at many times that Zhou Wang didn't know about, they had probably wavered.

Because Zhou Wang has never concealed his infidelity, from Jiang Mo at the beginning to Su Yajing later, in fact, each of them knew that they were not Zhou Wang's only one, regardless of whether Zhou Wang had expressed it directly or not.

How could he have the ability to possess so many good girls just by having a few bucks?

Although on the surface, it seems like this...

"Sister Yurou, I'm not a good person, but what I can do is not to disappoint them, and to give them a rich life... Of course, like Tongtong, I actually gave her the opportunity to choose..."

"You don't have to explain."

Shen Yurou looked at Zhou Wang and said softly, "I know men are greedy... but you are better than many people, enough to make up for the only shortcoming of being a playboy."

When Zhou Wang looked over in surprise, Shen Yurou lowered her head in embarrassment, "I didn't say that, it was Yutong who said that."

Oh?
Zhou Wang felt warm in his heart. What Shen Yutong said to his sister must be the truth... I feel very comforted.

"Then let's..."

"Let's not talk about this for now. Let me think about it, okay?"

Shen Yurou promptly placed her fingers on Zhou Wang's lips, with a hint of pleading in her eyes.

"Okay, let's talk about it later."

Zhou Wang didn't rush into it. He just thought about it and said, "Sister Yurou."

"Ok?"

"I want to ask, what's going on..."

After saying a few words, Zhou Wang felt relieved to see that Shen Yurou did not object to his attitude. He could finally start to explore his doubts.

He pointed at the soft blanket on the ground. Although there was no light from the desk lamp at this time, through the bright moonlight, he could vaguely see a small patch of dark red, which was extremely conspicuous on the white carpet.

Considering Shen Yurou's painful reaction at the beginning, to be honest, Zhou Wang was completely confused.

Why is there blood?
Shen Yurou is a serious young woman, and she also has a three-year-old son...

Judging from his appearance, that should be her biological son.

Shen Yurou fell silent for a moment, as if she didn't know how to start.

Zhou Wang had already understood her temper to some extent. He exerted force with his palm and frowned, saying, "Speak!"

Shen Yurou cried out in pain, but finally spoke hesitantly: "I, Liu Chao and I, actually didn't do that much..."

"What do you mean?"

"He... has a problem. Anyway, I've tried several times before, but he... couldn't get in."

Shen Yurou, with blushing cheeks, explained in a low voice.

"?"

After a question mark flashed through Zhou Wang's mind, he asked blankly: "That child..."

It was because of doubt that he took a special look just now. He could still vaguely see a scar on Shen Yurou's lower abdomen. Although it was very light, it was not completely gone.

"is ours."

"???"

"Yangyang is a test-tube baby...Do you know what test-tube babies are? It's..." "I think you know, combining in vitro and then transplanting back into the body, right?"

Zhou Wang bared his teeth, feeling that it was ridiculous for a moment.

If that's the case, doesn't it mean that Shen Yurou is actually a virgin?
I rely on!

A young woman who is married and has a child is still in a semi-original state. Who would believe it if I told others about it?
It turns out that this is the true meaning of "a half-open door".

If he hadn't experienced it himself, coupled with Shen Yurou's obviously awkward reaction, Zhou Wang himself wouldn't have dared to believe it...

Outrageous.

"That's why Liu Chao is often very irritable... He likes to torture me to get some comfort, right?"

Not knowing what she remembered, Shen Yurou looked gloomy and spoke in a low voice.

"No, I still don't understand. Since Liu Chao is no longer capable, why is he still coveting Shen Yutong?"

Zhou Wang held his breath for a moment before he asked, "You also know about this, right?"

"Well... I knew it a long time ago. This is why I always feel sorry for Yutong."

Shen Yurou said sadly, "Although I didn't like Liu Chao at first, I thought that as long as he treated me and my family well, nothing else mattered. I didn't expect..."

"As for what you said, I don't know how to explain it. It's just that... although Liu Chao is indeed not good enough for that, it doesn't mean he can't do that. Do you understand?"

Shen Yurou blushed as she described it, "Before, he would often let me lie on the bed and he would look at me. I don't know how he did it, but... anyway, he could still do that."

Zhou Wang probably understood, and he suddenly said: "So Liu Chao completely treats you as a tool, but his mentality is extremely unbalanced, so he often tortures you. Is it because of this that you become more and more unsatisfied?"

"I, I didn't..."

Shen Yurou's voice was soft, but her words were firm.

Zhou Wang did not expose her. After all, the facts were before his eyes. Although Shen Yurou had no real X experience, she should have a lot of Solo experience. She was also old enough...

No wonder, this was theoretically her real first experience, but after she got used to it, she behaved so crazy.

Pandora's box had been unlocked long ago, but it had never been truly opened.

As for Liu Chao's psychology, it is also easy to interpret. Although he is physically disabled, he is still a normal man psychologically. No, he may not be normal psychologically...

Because of the physical deficiency, he will psychologically crave more in order to achieve some kind of perverted satisfaction.

"Sister Yu Rou, no matter how you want to get along with me in the future, at least you should get a divorce first."

Zhou Wang thought about it and suggested: "You don't have to worry about your life in the future. I will support you... This little money is nothing to me. You don't have to have any psychological burden."

"..."

Shen Yurou fell silent again after hearing this. After a while, just when Zhou Wang couldn't help but lower his head again, she stammered, "Actually, actually, he and I didn't get a marriage certificate..."

"what?"

Zhou Wang was confused again.

"At the beginning, he told my mother that he wanted me to have a son first and then get married to me. Because Liu Chao promised to give the betrothal gift first, my mother agreed..."

Shen Yurou whispered, "After Yangyang was born, my mother mentioned the matter of getting a marriage certificate, but he brushed it off."

After all, Zhou Wang studied law, although he was a half-baked student. However, "Marriage Law" was the only elective course he had never failed, so Zhou Wang understood instantly what Liu Chao was planning.

Before the 90s, there was a concept of "common-law marriage" in China. Later, after some legal changes and after the new century, "common-law marriage" is no longer protected by law.

In other words, in a relationship like that between Shen Yurou and Liu Chao, although the child can be registered normally with one of the parents, from the legal perspective, they are only in an "illegal cohabitation relationship" and not a legally recognized marital relationship.

This not only meant that Liu Chao could spend his money like a spoiled brat outside, but the most important thing was that even if he and Shen Yurou broke up, Shen Yurou would never get a penny from him.

His property is still his...

In fact, Zhou Wang knew that perhaps more than one rich man would play like this, but Shen Yurou was not the kind of mistress who wanted to get promoted. Just as the system intelligence evaluated, she was really a good woman who deserved to be cherished!

Unfortunately, fate is so unfair.

"born!"

After figuring out the logic behind it, Zhou Wang couldn't help but curse under his breath.

The word "born" is not only an insult to Liu Chao, but also an insult to Shen Yuruo's mother.

This is the real selling of a daughter!

For the sake of the 288,000 yuan betrothal gift, she had never thought about what would happen to Shen Yurou in the future...

How could there be such a mother?
"I didn't understand it at the time. Later, after consulting a lawyer, I knew what Liu Chao was thinking. But it was too late. So I couldn't divorce him because we were not married. Only Yangyang was registered in his household registration..."

Shen Yurou smiled bitterly.

"fair enough."

Zhou Wang said this lightly, which made Shen Yurou a little confused, because she could hear that Zhou Wang's tone was a little cold.

"Just stay with Tongtong for a while and don't worry about other things. I will help you solve these problems later."

"But……"

"listen to me."

Zhou Wang glanced at Shen Yurou.

Shen Yurou pursed her lips, and finally just leaned her head on Zhou Wang's shoulder and nodded slightly.

Neither of them spoke for a while, just quietly feeling the quietness of their physical embrace.

After this double exchange of body and soul, the two people who were clearly strangers yesterday now felt an indescribable closeness.

Shen Yurou was extremely immersed in this atmosphere, because this was the peace of mind she had never felt in the past 28 years of her life.

Zhou Wang caressed her gently, and gradually felt like he couldn't let her go.

At a certain moment, Zhou Wang couldn't help but ask, "Actually, Sister Yu Rou, I have another question."

"Um……"

Shen Yurou squinted her eyes and responded lazily.

"Are you just this sensitive, or..."

"I……"

Shen Yurou was caught off guard and blushed again. She actually wanted to deny it, but when she saw Zhou Wang put his finger in front of her, she was unable to defend herself.

"Before, Liu Chao would use some tools to torture me, and gradually, it became like this..."

Shen Yurou's voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible, but Zhou Wang, who had been listening with his ears perked up, naturally heard it.

"So, it was still very hard to bear, which led to the scene I saw in the bathroom, right?"

"Ah."

Although Shen Yurou was still shy, the topic was now open and she did not deny it anymore.

"From now on, you don't have to endure it anymore."

After Zhou Wang finished speaking, he, who had already been agitated, turned over and pressed Shen Yurou into an M shape again.

"Zhou Wang, didn't you say that we shouldn't do this for now..."

Shen Yurou was a little anxious and wanted to push Zhou Wang away.

"Really?" Zhou Wang said seriously, "I just said, let's talk about it later."

"..."

Faced with such a shameless man, Shen Yurou didn't know what to say.

Normally people just joke about it, how can you be so serious?

Of course, even if she wanted to speak, she couldn't really say anything.

"Well!"

……

That night, Zhou Wang pushed open the half-closed door for the second time, and then pushed hard against it—

He wanted to break down the door.
