"Ah!"
Min Sishi looked at the busy street and subconsciously tried to cover Zhou Xing's mouth.
But she wasn't tall enough and couldn't reach it at all.
She could only stomp her feet in frustration and whisper, "Don't talk about being kept, it sounds so bad... It's embarrassing if someone hears."
Turning to look at the latest phone and tablet in her hands, she added a bit uneasily, "Besides... being kept isn't like this. What if I'm scamming you? Wouldn't all your money just go down the drain?"
"You said you were cautious just now, but look at you now. At this rate, don't let your other women scam you out of all your money."
"It'll be pathetic when you end up a pauper."
Zhou Xing stroked his chin, thinking about his five hundred million us dollar. If he were scammed five million at a time, how long would it take the other party?
What if Zhou Jianping's assets were added?
Zhou Xing frowned; that would be a bit difficult to calculate.
Zhou Xing chuckled softly, completely unconcerned. The person who dared to scam him hadn't even been born yet.
"You'd better be careful."
Min Sishi said, "By the way, can I ask how many girls you actually have around you?"
"Three."
Zhou Xing said without hesitation.
Min Sishi wrinkled her pretty face. "That's way too many."
"Why, do you regret it?"
"No."
Min Sishi shook her head, looking at Zhou Xing with her beautiful eyes wide open. "It's just... I'm right here, couldn't you lie to me a little?"
"Didn't you ask?"
Zhou Xing was puzzled. "Besides, I never lie."
"Oh, you don't understand a girl's heart at all."
Min Sishi grumbled coquettishly, "Girls are such complex creatures. Even if we know you're lying, as long as you make me happy, those things don't matter."
"At least lie to me to make me feel good."
Zhou Xing smiled and said, "I don't deceive people, and I certainly don't lie to my women. I've told them before that if one day they no longer want to stay by my side, I can let them go at any time."
"I'll also give them a large sum of money, including you."
"We each get what we need, so as long as you're honest with me, I won't hide anything from any of you. You're free to stay or leave."
Min Sishi pouted her pink lips, feeling a bit depressed.
But soon, she returned to normal and suddenly asked, "Then among these three girls, are any of them from school?"
"No. Why the sudden question?"
Zhou Xing asked curiously.
"As long as there aren't any."
Min Sishi patted her chest, causing her chest to heave.
"Then doesn't that make me your only female companion at school?"
Min Sishi suddenly became happy, her eyes curving into crescents as she looked at Zhou Xing with a beaming smile. "Then can I call myself your girlfriend at school from now on?"
"Anyway, you spend most of your time at school, and your other girls aren't here, so I basically won't see them."
Zhou Xing couldn't help but find it funny. "Aren't you just deceiving yourself?"
"I don't care."
Min Sishi pulled on Zhou Xing's arm and swayed it coquettishly. "Just agree, please. Otherwise, if word gets out at school that I'm your Little Wife, it would be so embarrassing."
"Don't you not care about these things?"
Zhou Xing asked; when Min Sishi was being cursed so badly on the forum, she hadn't shown any reaction.
"No one truly doesn't care; it's all just an act."
Min Sishi rolled her eyes and said crossly, "Of course it feels bad to be insulted. So just agree, okay? That way I can go back and vent my frustration, letting them see that even if I'm a Little Wife, I'm your official girlfriend at school."
"Hahaha, as you wish."
Zhou Xing shook his head, thoroughly amused by Min Sishi.
"You agreed?"
Min Sishi was pleasantly surprised.
"I never denied it."
Zhou Xing didn't care at all. He had already given out the title of girlfriend to several people; one more wouldn't hurt.
Besides... others might worry that having a girlfriend would intimidate other girls.
But him... even if he were married, as long as he wanted them, few girls would refuse.
"Heehee..."
Min Sishi became happy and hooked her arm through Zhou Xing's. "Who says there's no such thing as a sweet romance? Isn't this it?"
Zhou Xing glanced at Min Sishi.
Perhaps this was her true nature; the carefree attitude she usually displayed was forced by life.
Otherwise, how many girls in their prime wouldn't be lively and cute?
The two of them strolled along like this.
They put the things back in the car.
Zhou Xing called a designated driver and then hailed a taxi.
"To the Ritz-Carlton."
Zhou Xing said to the driver.
The car started.
Min Sishi sat there, still holding Zhou Xing's hand, but hearing the name of the hotel, she inexplicably tightened her grip.
She didn't speak for a long time.
Her heart rate also couldn't help but quicken.
After a while.
The car pulled up steadily in front of the Ritz-Carlton.
The designated driver also parked the car and handed over the keys.
After taking the keys, Zhou Xing led Min Sishi straight inside.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou, your room has been prepared."
Before even entering the main doors.
Butler Wang hurriedly came out to meet them, presenting the room card with both hands.
Zhou Xing had stayed here for a long time and had added Butler Wang on WeChat. All it took was a single message to book a room.
So he had notified Butler Wang in advance.
"Thanks."
Zhou Xing thanked him.
"You're too kind. You are a distinguished guest of our Ritz-Carlton; this is what we should do."
Butler Wang bowed slightly.
Zhou Xing smiled and led Min Sishi toward the elevator lobby.
Butler Wang tactfully did not follow, choosing instead to stand silently in the lobby.
"Ding."
The elevator doors opened.
It was the familiar 51st floor.
Zhou Xing arrived at the door of the suite and swiped the card.
He opened the room door.
He turned on all the lights in the room.
Min Sishi was momentarily stunned by the luxury of the room.
Her eyes widened as she observed carefully for a long time.
"How much does this cost for one night?"
Min Sishi couldn't help but exclaim in wonder.
"Not much."
Zhou Xing smiled.
"I don't believe you. After all, you can spend nearly two hundred thousand on a single meal. Maybe these numbers really are 'not much' to you."
Min Sishi rolled her eyes, looking exceptionally cute.
"Do you want to take a shower first?"
Zhou Xing asked lazily while sitting on the sofa.
"A shower... for what?"
Even though Min Sishi's face was flushed and her ears were burning, in her shyness... she couldn't help but play dumb in the face of Zhou Xing's words.
"Didn't you say you studied Folk Dance? So, I want to appreciate your dance moves."
