While Chen Lu was still in a daze, Cao Kun had already walked quite a distance. She snapped out of her daze and quickly caught up with him.

The two continued to stroll around the IFC Mall. Chen Lu was carrying large bags and small bags, while Cao Kun was empty-handed, which was quite a unique sight.

Fortunately, Cao Kun only bought two of the latest iPhone 17s, which allowed Chen Lu, whose arms were aching, to quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

"You must be tired after shopping all day. Could you please take these things home for me? I've already sent you the address."

After strolling around for a while, Cao Kun finally lost interest in shopping and turned to Chen Lu to give her instructions.

"Oh, okay, aren't you going back together?" Chen Lu asked cautiously.

She had spent most of the day accompanying Mr. Cao, and her back and legs were aching. But if Cao Kun wasn't satisfied, her day would have been a complete waste.

"I'm going to deliver something to a friend. Oh, and this is for you."

Cao Kun took out a gold necklace from his pocket, slowly walked up to Chen Lu, gently raised his hand, and wrapped the necklace around her neck.

His fingers brushed against her snow-white skin unintentionally, causing Chen Lu to tremble slightly.

Chen Lu's hands were full of things, and she didn't know what to do. She could only stand there blankly as Cao Kun put the necklace on her snow-white neck.

"Ah, Mr. Cao, this is too precious."

Chen Lu looked somewhat panicked. She had never been so close to a man before, which made her both surprised and uneasy.

Cao Kun looked at the necklace on her chest with satisfaction; the pendant on the necklace shone with golden light right on the deep cleavage.

"This is a reward for saving me money."

He gave a faint smile: "Do you still want to call me Mr. Cao? I thought we were friends already, didn't I, Lulu?"

"Oh, oh, okay, Brother Cao... Brother Cao."

Chen Lu lowered her head, and you could vaguely see that the tips of her ears were a little red.

……

After the two parted ways, Cao Kun turned around and returned to the Niccolo Hotel where Liu Xin was staying.

When he opened the door, Liu Xin was still obediently waiting for him in the room. She hadn't gone anywhere today, and even her lunch was ordered by room service.

She was new to the imperial favor and had difficulty moving around. In addition, everything in the hotel was too new to her, so she ended up staying there for the whole day.

Upon seeing Cao Kun open the door, Liu Xin disregarded her discomfort, quickly got up, and threw herself into his arms like a fledgling returning to its nest.

"Honey, you're back!"

Cao Kun took out a gold necklace and an iPhone 17 from his pocket, waved them in front of her, and laughed, "Look what I brought you!"

"Huh!? Is it for me? Honey, I love you!"

Liu Xin was pleasantly surprised; she hadn't expected Cao Kun to bring her a gift upon his return, and a feeling of happiness welled up within her.

Throughout her life, she had received gifts only a handful of times. Looking at the handsome man in front of her, Liu Xin couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Cao Kun held her tenderly for a while, but since she was newly pregnant, he did not intend to have any in-depth conversations with her in order to ensure the health of the fetus.

But it's also necessary to keep her calm. Otherwise, if I take her virginity today and then just disappear, who knows what she'll think?

"Okay, Xiaoxin, my husband will be busy with work for the next few days and may not be able to come over. If you need anything, we can contact each other via WeChat."

Cao Kun gave her a heads-up first.

"Okay, honey, go ahead and get busy. Xiao Xin will wait for you here."

Liu Xin said obediently.

She had just received the necklace and cell phone from Cao Kun and was overjoyed, so why would she object?

After calming Liu Xin down, Cao Kun went downstairs and slowly drove his secondhand BMW home.

Once you have the money, the car's shortcomings gradually become apparent: slow acceleration, loud noise, stiff suspension...

He used to have no money and had no choice but to make do with what he had. But things are different now. He plans to buy a luxury car that matches his status when he has some free time in a few days.

However, the most urgent task at present is to find a way to win over Chen Lu and obtain start-up funds.

With 30 million yuan in start-up capital, Cao Kun was confident enough to make Xu Yisha understand the price of offending him!

……

Chen Lu arrived at Cao Kun's house in Ideal Home a day before Cao Kun.

She pressed the password Cao Kun gave her, and the electronic lock clicked open.

After several trips up and down the stairs, they finally managed to move all the goods Cao Kun had bought that day into the house.

After wiping the sweat from her forehead, Chen Lu finally had time to take a look at the layout of the entire room.

"This house doesn't look very big. Do rich people like to live in small houses like this?" she wondered.

This house isn't big, but the location is really good, and the surrounding communities are all high-end, where wealthy people live.

Cao Kun emptied his family's savings and added all the money he had saved up over ten years of work to barely make enough for a down payment.

The monthly mortgage payment is quite a heavy burden. If Cao Kun weren't a top salesperson with a substantial income, he probably wouldn't have been able to cope long ago.

However, all of that is now a thing of the past. If Cao Kun wanted to, he could pay off the loan completely tomorrow.

Chen Lu gathered all the goods together, took a picture, and sent it to Cao Kun, indicating that she had delivered the goods and wanted to leave.

To everyone's surprise, Cao Kun replied immediately: "Wait a moment, I'll be there right away."

Helpless, Chen Lu could only stand in the middle of the house, unsure whether to sit or stand.

She looked around and found that although the house was fully furnished with furniture and appliances, it was actually quite messy.

Clothes were carelessly tossed on the sofa, the coffee table was piled with clutter, and there was some dust on the floor.

There's nothing I can do about it; men can live anywhere.

She subconsciously touched the gleaming gold necklace on her chest, and made up her mind.

"Since I have some free time, I'll help Brother Cao tidy up his house, as a way of repaying him for the necklace."

She comes from an ordinary family; both her parents are working-class. She has always done cleaning and tidying herself since she was a child. Now, she is helping Cao Kun clean his room, and she is doing it with ease.

When Cao Kun returned home, he was greeted by a completely renovated little house.

The floor was spotless, the sofa was clean, the washing machine was humming, and even the bed sheets had been changed.

Hearing the noise, Chen Lu, who was busy in the kitchen, came out carrying two bowls of tomato and egg noodles.

"Brother Cao, I'm sorry, this is all the ingredients in the fridge, so I just made two bowls of noodles..."

Cao Kun was touched; Chen Lu's image as a virtuous wife and loving mother touched a soft spot in his heart.

The two sat facing each other at the dining table, and Chen Lu's cooking skills were indeed quite good.

She made a simple bowl of tomato and egg noodles into a dish that looked, smelled, and tasted delicious, and Cao Kun ate it all up in no time.

"Wow, Brother Cao, you eat so fast!" Chen Lu exclaimed.

"I can't help it, your noodles are just too delicious," Cao Kun said, his mouth full of food, his words muffled.

"what?"
