Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 557 I was tricked

Sun Xi Ningning is probably using some kind of lip gloss with a subtle, deliberate design. It's already quite moisturizing, giving her a youthful, almost childlike appearance, which is the legendary "fake bare face."

Now, with the addition of other elements, it looks even more supple and smooth. However, although it looks great, when Sun Xining wrapped herself around Zhou Wang like a water snake, trying to shut him up, Zhou Wang quickly pushed her away.

What are you doing?
Who would kiss you at this time?

Seeing Zhou Wang dodging, Sun Xi Ningning chuckled, then slightly parted her red lips as if to show Zhou Wang that her mouth was very clean. She then lightly licked the corner of her lips, looking as if she hadn't had enough.

Although he knew she did it on purpose, Zhou Wang's heart still skipped a beat because of her little tricks. After all, it's hard for any man to resist this strange sense of accomplishment...

At this moment, Sun Xining hugged Zhou Wang's neck again. She was still sitting cross-legged on Zhou Wang, with her head resting on his shoulder, and then she stopped moving.

The large living room fell silent for a moment. Zhou Wang thought that at this time, the woman needed some intimacy to fill the emptiness in her heart, so he hugged her back.

Sun Xi Ningning seemed to enjoy the moment as well, gently poking Zhou Wang's abs with her fingers without saying anything more.

After about a minute or two, Sun Xining suddenly spoke up, "Why is there still no movement?"

"What do you mean there's no movement?"

Zhou Wang was momentarily confused and asked, puzzled.

"I once read a story about someone who went to visit Liu Bei but only saw Zhang Fei, not Guan Yu. So he asked Liu Bei..."

Sun Xi Ningning whispered in Zhou Wang's ear with a soft laugh.

Zhou Wang realized what was happening, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily. So you were thinking about this the whole time you were silent?

You, Sun Xi Ningning, I underestimated you...

But come on, how long has it been? Aren't people allowed to rest?

"Are you still willing to be my major shareholder?"

Sun Xining looked at Zhou Wang with bright eyes. It was supposed to be a joke, but for some reason, her tone was very serious.

"I'm willing."

Zhou Wang didn't lie and nodded.

Sun Xining's looks weren't top-tier, and in many people's eyes, she wasn't a "clean" girl, but for some reason, Zhou Wang found her quite interesting and had a kind of infatuation with her that wasn't exactly pure...

Okay, Zhou Wang admits that she is indeed S-type—direct and honest enough. This can't be considered a virtue, but it has a fatal attraction for men.

"But I'd like to ask, have you brought in any other shareholders in the past few months?"

After asking the question, Zhou Wang felt that he was being a bit vulgar.

After all, the two of them weren't really bound together, and he had no right to interfere with how Sun Xi Ningning lived her life, but he still couldn't help asking.

"Do you care?"

Sun Xi Ningning seemed somewhat surprised, then gave Zhou Wang a half-smile.

"Kind of."

"Well... since I came to Shenzhen, about six or seven men have expressed interest in me."

"Anyone you like?"

Zhou Wang glanced unintentionally at the coat that had fallen to the ground.

It wasn't obvious at first glance, but Sun Xi Ningning seemed to know what he wanted. She hooked her arm around Zhou Wang's waist and then bent over backwards.

It seems she wasn't lying; she does indeed have a dance background and is very flexible... Although what attracted Zhou Wang at this moment wasn't her difficult backbend, but rather her fully extended body curves.

Soon, Sun Xining hooked her arm around Zhou Wang's waist and sat up, now holding a cigarette and a lighter in her hand.

Zhou Wang didn't ask Sun Xining how she knew he wanted to smoke, and let her light a cigarette for him. Only then did Sun Xining answer Zhou Wang's question.

"There was a fleeting moment, but I was mainly after their money..."

Sun Xining tilted her head and said, "But then I thought about it, and even if other people have tens of millions, it doesn't really matter to me. Besides, men these days are all very shrewd..."

“They seem to be very willing to spend money, but they only spend it on themselves. I'm not with him to hitch a ride or drink with him, so what's the point of me being with him?”

Zhou Wang laughed upon hearing this.

What's interesting about Sun Xi Ningning is that she seems to possess a unique kind of clarity.

...Indeed, men who have amassed wealth naturally know that beautiful women are not a scarce resource for them.

Moreover, with the internet so developed now, many people have been influenced by the idea that "money is for women to see, not for women to spend," and have come to believe it wholeheartedly.

"So you're saying that after me, you never accepted anyone else?"

"Yes... Aside from that older man before, you are the second man I have truly acknowledged."

Sun Xining smiled softly, then said somewhat sadly, "Actually, I came to Pengcheng to start a new life, but I never expected that after all this time, I would run into you again..."

"So my appearance made you break your principles again?"

Zhou Wang was taken aback.

"Principles? I don't even know if I have those things anymore. It's just that I really don't want to live the life I used to live..."

Sun Xi Ningning chuckled self-deprecatingly, drawing circles on Zhou Wang's chest with her fingers. Amidst the swirling smoke, her pure face was tinged with a hazy hue, giving her a fragmented beauty.

"My meeting with that uncle was an accident. He was very kind to me, and I chose to do some things just to repay him... That day at the karaoke bar, I asked you if you wanted to hear my story. At that moment, I really hoped you would nod, but you refused."

"Do you still want to tell this story now?"

Zhou Wang showed patience.

But Sun Xi Ningning shook her head.

"why?"

Zhou Wang asked in surprise.

"Because at that time I wanted you to hear my story, probably... so that you wouldn't look down on me so much?"

Sun Xining thought for a moment and said, "I know how other people see me, but for some reason, I just don't want you to see me that way too. Maybe it's because you not only appeal to my aesthetic sense, but you also fit my fantasy of first love..."

It always felt a little strange when Sun Xining used the word "first love".

But then Zhou Wang thought about it again and realized that there didn't seem to be anything wrong with it...

Yes, despite the rumors circulating in high school that Sun Xining's private life was extremely chaotic, she has actually never been in a relationship.

After all, her first relationship in life started with being "kept" by a sugar daddy.

It sounds far-fetched, but Sun Xi Ningning's own experiences are already magical enough, so adding a little more wouldn't seem strange.

"Well, never mind, to put it more bluntly... I just like you a little, or maybe more than a little."

Sun Xining looked up at Zhou Wang, her eyes crinkling with a smile, and said, "Actually, you know what? That night in Jingcheng, even if you didn't say anything afterwards, and didn't transfer money to me to buy a bag, I wouldn't have cared... I could have paid you out of my own pocket." Zhou Wang stared blankly at Sun Xining. He couldn't judge how sincere Sun Xining's words were, but this unconventional "confession" was quite captivating.

"To answer your question again, I think that story is no longer important because after meeting you again today, I can sense that you have never actually looked down on me... So, those things are no longer important."

Sun Xi Ningning said softly.

Zhou Wang stopped talking, took a deep drag of his cigarette, stubbed it out on the piano stand worth tens of thousands of dollars, and then put his arm around Sun Xining's fair and slender waist, about to make her turn around.

But Sun Xi Ningning smiled and stopped Zhou Wang.

She glanced at Zhou Wang sideways, then chuckled and said, "Let's slow down, okay? I... I don't want to only remember one part..."

Zhou Wang was not surprised. Girls pay more attention to these details than boys; they are ultimately emotional creatures.

So Sun Xi Ningning probably longs for Zhou Wang to be more gentle, or perhaps this also includes a need to be respected.

But before Zhou Wang could make any move, Sun Xi Ningning had already leaned down and pressed her head against Zhou Wang's chest, as if checking his heartbeat, only not with her ears.

Zhou Wang, who was baring his teeth, finally realized that she hadn't actually asked anything of him; she just wanted him to give her some room to perform.

What an understanding girl...

With a sigh, Zhou Wang did not make any further demands on her. He simply helped her up and played a piece of music with her.

As the famous Victor Hugo once said, "Music is the voice of the thinker."

Zhou Wang, a relatively unknown performance artist, thinks this statement is quite accurate.

Because Sun Xi Ningning's piano playing became increasingly unrestrained, interspersed with her singing voice like a lark.

Yes, it really was singing, not Zhou Wang's exaggerated embellishment...

Sun Xi Ningning may have studied singing; her voice is quite pleasant.

Zhou Wang remembered that when they last met, Sun Xining was not very lively. She was quite silent throughout the meeting, and Zhou Wang did most of the talking while she answered.

She was very cautious throughout her interactions with Zhou Wang.

But this time, from the moment we met on the yacht, she seemed to have undergone a subtle change.

It's hard to explain, but when I'm facing Zhou Wang, I feel a more real and vivid sense of life.

She chattered on and on, talking quite a bit with Zhou Wang between playing her instrument.

There was praise, and there was criticism.

Of course, Sun Xi Ningning wouldn't really badmouth him; it was more like some little tricks to improve the atmosphere.

However, what Zhou Wang found most unbearable was the occasional bursts of "insults" from her.

Even though he knew it was just a clumsy way for her to provoke him, Zhou Wang still couldn't help but lose his temper when he heard certain words.

The singing turned into high notes, and the piano notes became denser, like a storm.

……

The villa's air conditioning system seemed to be malfunctioning; the warm air was too strong, causing Sun Xining's smooth forehead and neck to be covered in sweat.

The two lay side by side on the warm teak floor. The girl looked more delicate than usual, while Zhou Wang stared blankly at the ceiling with its murals.

This performance was undoubtedly a resounding success, and both of them found satisfaction in the music. However, Zhou Wang's brows were furrowed at this moment.

The reason was simple: he always felt that something was not quite right.

A moment later, during a period of extremely calm mental blankness, Zhou Wang came to his senses...

Holy crap, it turns out the timing was wrong.

It can't be said that the two spent a very short time together that time, but even if it wasn't particularly exaggerated, Zhou Wang thought it should still be at the average level.

Judging from Sun Xi Ningning's behavior at the time, Zhou Wang felt that she was probably similar to him.

Afterwards, she was relaxed and joked around with herself, and Zhou Wang thought that both of them were happy.

But judging from the resilience Sun Xi Ningning showed today, Zhou Wang felt... like he had been tricked.

That time in Jingcheng, I thought it would be a closely fought duel, but now it seems that the other side is being lenient with me...

This frustrated Zhou Wang somewhat.

"Were you... acting against me last time?"

When Sun Xi Ningning heard Zhou Wang ask in a deep voice, she was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head with a slight tremor in her shoulders.

"I didn't act..."

But Zhou Wang already felt that the evidence was undeniable.

Her voice had changed, and she dared not speak, for fear that she would burst out laughing if she did.

"No, really no, please don't overthink it... Girls actually care more about emotional feelings, those things don't matter."

Sun Xining vehemently denied it, but the smile on her face still made Zhou Wang a little embarrassed and angry, especially the sentence "Don't overthink it."

Damn it, you think this is my true strength?
I still have a secret weapon I haven't used yet, because I haven't met an opponent who can match it... [Li Qing's blindfold].

After the joke, Sun Xining sat up first and said coquettishly, "Honey, shall we go upstairs to the bedroom? I want to take a shower~"

Zhou Wang nodded. Although the wooden floor was made of good material, it was still quite uncomfortable to lie on for a long time.

So Zhou Wang took Sun Xi Ningning's hand and led her toward the stairs leading to the second floor.

Just then, a crisp sound suddenly came from the corner of the stairs.

"Who?"

Zhou Wang instantly became alert, and Sun Xi Ningning was also frightened and hid behind Zhou Wang.

Just as Zhou Wang was about to pull Sun Xi Ningning back and call for his two bodyguards, a somewhat hesitant figure emerged from the corner of the stairs, accompanied by footsteps.

The woman dared not look Zhou Wang in the eye, her face flushed red as she lowered her head, "Mr. Zhou, it's...it's me..."

"Lisa?"

Zhou Wang was surprised, but he finally relaxed. No wonder Gao Xing and the others hadn't reacted at all.

He said that if someone had hidden in the villa beforehand, Gao Xing, who had come to scout ahead, would have found them.

But if the other party is a woman who has already been marked, then everything becomes painfully clear.

"Why are you here?"

Zhou Wang scrutinized the mixed-race girl in front of him, who was wearing a thin dress, and asked in confusion.
