CHAPTER 408: CHAPTER 400: THEN CAN I KISS YOU, MY GIRLFRIEND?

Zhou Jinyuan: "To ease your guilty conscience, why don’t you help me now?"

Chen Xixi didn’t hesitate to choose: "I think inheriting property suits me better."

Compared to inexplicably offering herself, inexplicably acquiring more wealth appealed to her more.

Though it sounds heartless, there are many ways to repay and help someone, but you only have your innocence once.

If worse came to worst, she could dial the emergency number 120 right now, which should easily solve the problem.

After hearing Chen Xixi’s response, Zhou Jinyuan chuckled. He hadn’t seriously intended for her to do anything; even if she really had come in, he wouldn’t have allowed it.

He just wanted to tease her.

After all, Ms. Zhen wouldn’t seriously harm her own son, Zhou Jinyuan; bearing with it for a while and it should soon pass.

Two hours later, Zhou Jinyuan finally overcame his ordeal.

He called out to the outside of the door, "Xixi?"

"I’m here!"

Chen Xixi had been sitting at the door all this time, listening attentively to the sounds coming from the bathroom.

Zhou Jinyuan said, "Help me grab a set of clothes from the wardrobe."

"Okay."

Chen Xixi walked into the walk-in closet and casually picked a pure black T-shirt and a pair of casual pants that seemed suitable for wearing at home.

When she got to the bathroom door, she touched the doorknob, opened the door a crack with her eyes closed, then extended her arm inside and handed the clothes to Zhou Jinyuan.

This time she couldn’t afford to look casually; it might lead to trouble.

From this incident, she could tell that Zhou Jinyuan was a good person, unlike those men with nothing but dirty thoughts in their heads.

If it were any other man, her innocence might have been lost two hours earlier.

Chen Xixi felt that this time she should give Zhou Jinyuan high marks.

Zhou Jinyuan came out after changing into his clothes, casually drying his still dripping wet black hair with a towel.

He saw Chen Xixi standing with her hands over her face, leaning against the wall, and couldn’t help but tease, "Looks like you can’t inherit my fortune after all."

Because he had made it out alive.

Chen Xixi slowly slid her hands down, revealing her eyes, and saw that Zhou Jinyuan was already dressed. Her eyes curled up, "This is to provoke your will to survive! Think about it, all that wealth in your family almost went into the hands of an outsider like me, how could you ever be content? Your will to live must be incredibly resilient!"

Zhou Jinyuan slowly nodded: "Makes sense, but..."

Chen Xixi raised her eyebrows: "But what?"

Zhou Jinyuan’s lips curled into a light smile, gazing straight at Chen Xixi: "Compared to the property, the thought of not having been made official bothered me even more."

"Well... how about we make you official today then?"

Zhou Jinyuan’s towel-drying paused abruptly.

Happiness had come too suddenly, and he found it a bit hard to believe.

He wondered what Chen Xixi had thought about while waiting outside the door for those two hours, and then so readily agreed to make him official.

Zhou Jinyuan even doubted himself: "Am I still under the influence of the drugs? This medicine shouldn’t have any hallucinogenic effects, right?"

"Don’t believe I can make you official? Or is it that President Zhou lacks faith in himself?"

He had confidence, but he hadn’t expected Chen Xixi to be so accepting and so quickly.

He originally thought to give Chen Xixi more time, to experience the process of being pursued.

After all, Lu Wenling had said that whether men or women, they all enjoy the thrill of the chase.

But since Chen Xixi had already made her stance clear, he would seem ungrateful if he didn’t take the opportunity.

As the two looked at each other, the atmosphere grew subtly tense with Chen Xixi’s words.

Suddenly, Zhou Jinyuan strode forward with his long legs and stopped in front of Chen Xixi.

His tall frame quickly covered the light above her head, casting a large shadow over her, and as she watched him, he bent down, inching closer, and whispered a question he had wanted to ask for a long time: "Then may I kiss you? My girlfriend."
