You got your marriage certificate and then abandoned me? I'll feed the richest woman in the wor

A hissing sound came from the walkie-talkie.

The security system of the entire shopping mall was even tighter at this moment than when welcoming a multinational head of state.

A dozen or so elite security guards in plainclothes were quietly deployed around the vegetable section.

His gaze swept over every stranger who might approach, like that of a hawk.

Anyone who dares to cough loudly within five meters of Chen Yuan.

They will be carried out of this building in half a second.

Vegetable section.

The air conditioner was emitting a fine white mist.

Various imported organic vegetables gleamed brightly under the lights, glistening with water droplets.

Shen Wanzhou was being led by the hand by Chen Yuan.

Walking in this area, which is full of the warmth of everyday life yet orderly.

The surrounding noise of people and carts seemed to be shut out by an invisible barrier.

She even dared to secretly peek at the oddly shaped radishes on the shelf through her sunglasses.

Chen Yuan released her hand and walked to the shelf where the spices were placed.

With slender fingers, she picked out two single-clove purple garlic cloves and then took a bunch of bright green cilantro.

"Tonight I'll make steamed grouper and stir-fry some shrimp and asparagus, which you like."

He turned his head to the side as he put the side dishes into the car.

His voice was deep and gentle, like that of an old married couple discussing dinner.

Shen Wanzhou's ear tips turned a subtle red at the edge of her mask strap.

She nodded vigorously, her fisherman's hat bobbing up and down on her head.

Two fair and delicate hands gripped the edge of the shopping cart.

Looking inside, there were snacks and fruits piled up like a small mountain, almost overflowing.

An unprecedented sense of satisfaction filled her heart, which had been empty for years.

It turns out I was shopping at the supermarket with someone I liked.

Watching the shopping cart gradually fill up is a feeling that makes even breathing sweet.

We walked around for over an hour.

The two finally pushed two fully loaded shopping carts to the VIP checkout lane.

The supermarket owner has secretly cleared out this passageway.

Even the cashier has been replaced by the store's most efficient and discreet manager.

"Beep—beep—"

The red laser of the barcode scanner danced rapidly on the packaging box.

The goods were neatly stacked into thick eco-friendly bags printed with premium logos.

The spoils from the two vehicles filled eight large bags.

The cashier manager looked at the bill on the screen.

Cold sweat broke out on my forehead again, and I even had to be careful with my breathing.

"Mr. Chen, Madam... the total is twenty-six thousand eight hundred dollars."

He placed his hands on the cashier's counter, his back slightly bent.

They handled the barcode scanner with utmost care, afraid of making even the slightest noise.

Upon hearing this number...

Shen Wanzhou obediently followed behind Chen Yuan.

That dormant "tycoon CEO" instinct within him suddenly awakened.

This was the first time she and Chen Yuan had gone out to buy things!

Back in the manor, Chen Yuan was the one who paid her salary and gave her a black gold card.

Today, she must regain some of the dignity of being the richest woman.

We can't always let him shoulder the burden alone.

When it comes to making a living, Shen Wanzhou is a pro!

Shen Wanzhou immediately released her hand that had been gripping the hem of Chen Yuan's trench coat.

He quickly reached his hand into the large pocket of his sun-protective clothing.

My fingertips touched a hard card with a special embossed edge.

That's the highest-level unlimited supplementary credit card of the Shen family conglomerate.

"I'll pay!"

Her voice, though soft and sweet, carried a deliberately feigned air of arrogance, even through her mask.

Slender arms emerged from the black sun-protective clothing.

Two slender white fingers held the black card that gleamed with a cold metallic sheen.

I couldn't wait to hand it to the cashier manager across the table.

Her almond-shaped eyes, hidden behind sunglasses, even secretly glanced at Chen Yuan.

With a hint of smugness, as if to say, "Look how rich I am," and "I'm good at supporting my family."

The cashier manager looked at the black card that was handed to him.

My legs went weak, and I almost knelt down behind the cash register.

How could he dare accept the card from Miss Shen!

Just as the black card was less than ten centimeters away from the card reader at the cashier.

A large hand with distinct joints and a slightly warm body temperature.

It came out from the side without warning.

Warm palms covered Shen Wanzhou's hands directly.

Chen Yuan's large hands were broad and strong.

Take her little hand that was holding the black card, along with the card itself.

It fits snugly in the palm of your hand.

The warmth from his palm spread instantly through the veins on the back of his hand to every part of Shen Wanzhou's body.

She was stunned.

My wrist was pressed down by an irresistible force.

Chen Yuan took the opportunity to pull her hand back and placed it on the edge of her trench coat pocket.

The movements were gentle, yet carried an absolute sense of control.

"W-what are you doing?"

Shen Wanzhou muttered something under her breath.

She looked up, peering through her sunglasses at the tall man beside her.

"I told you I would take care of you..."

If those bigwigs in Jianghai City, who were fighting tooth and nail for funding, heard this, it would be a disaster.

He would probably vomit three liters of blood on the spot.

The once-mighty Star Venture Capital, a multi-trillion-dollar behind-the-scenes behemoth, was actually told at a supermarket checkout that he wanted to be kept by someone.

A low, mellow chuckle escaped Chen Yuan's throat.

The vibration in her chest was right next to Shen Wanzhou's hand.

The shock made her fingertips go numb.

He did not release his grip on her hand.

Instead, use the pad of your thumb.

He gently stroked the back of her hand twice, as if punishing her.

Rough fingerprints brushed against delicate skin.

This caused Shen Wanzhou to shiver slightly.

Her ears instantly turned so red they looked like they were about to bleed.

Even a mask couldn't hide the rapidly rising temperature on my face.

This cat.

They really are always thinking about regaining control of the economy.

Chen Yuan turned around and took out the specially made black cell phone from his pocket with his free left hand.

A thumb with distinct knuckles swipes across the screen.

The pale blue light shone on his cold, deep-set brow bone.

The cashier manager quickly held the barcode scanner with both hands, even holding his breath.

They were afraid that if they were even a second too slow in scanning, they would displease the King of Hell.

"drop--"

A crisp payment success notification sounded in the quiet VIP passage.

Chen Yuan put his phone away and casually slipped it into his pocket.

He turned his head away.

Looking down at the girl who was still standing there dumbfounded, her hands pressed against her pockets.

In his deep black eyes, there surged an unyielding indulgence and doting affection.

That unreasonable domineering attitude was displayed to the fullest extent at this moment.

Chen Yuan took out his phone and opened the payment code, his deep eyes revealing indulgence: "Keep your card safe, come out with me. Do you need to pay?"
