Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

An'an will only be at ease to prepare for delivery when she is at least six months pregnant.

By that time, Chen Pingsheng will definitely have to come out to manage his family's business for her.

Her marriage to Sun Siming only involved more business collaborations, with their respective companies still being public.

It will be the same in the future; even if they get divorced, it won't involve any premarital assets.

Chen Pingsheng sat down and talked with An'an for a long time. With the current medical technology, it's completely possible to find out the child's gender in advance.

It's just that there's no need for it.

When they left, An'an intentionally chose to invest in a major project of Su Zi's company.

As for the previous failed project, without her father's approval, no one would dare or choose to invest.

On their way home, they passed by a high-end shopping mall. Since Su Zi needed to buy something, she asked Chen Pingsheng if he wanted to join her.

After thinking about it, he realized there was indeed a need to take a good stroll in the mall, even though he himself had nothing specific to buy.

He couldn't help it; Chen Lu was growing and needed new clothes every year.

Even though Chen Lu was living an ordinary life now, the quality of his food, clothing, housing, and transportation was not lacking.

He knew his family's situation well and wouldn't pretend to be poor on purpose.

It's just that he couldn't afford to help his only friend, Su Xiaoxi.

This has always troubled Chen Lu.

In other aspects, there were no issues; his mom just wanted to force him back to Magic City from Shenzhen.

"Master Chen, I apologize for not knowing your identity before."

Mo Yao remembered how she used to frequently call Old Chen to fix water pipes at her house, and now she felt quite embarrassed.

"It's okay, I'm just an idle person by nature."

Thinking of Chen Lu's time in Shenzhen, he hadn't worn a fancy watch or used luxury goods in ages.

This little guy might have really gotten used to the ordinary life.

Once he fully adapts to this, Chen Pingsheng would rather gradually steer him back to his own life path.

For someone like Chen Lu, it's absolutely impossible to be raised in poverty all along.

Raising in poverty has its benefits, but its downsides are more apparent.

Whether he returns to Magic City or not, he can't continue living so ordinarily in the future.

"Master Chen, why would someone like you live so low-key right above my house?"

"Isn't it because of my disobedient son?"

The three of them visited a Richard Mille store, and Mo Yao saw for the first time a rich person choosing gifts for his son.

Chen Lu, being so young, didn't suit an overly expensive watch; ones priced at three or four million would do just fine.

Chen Pingsheng bought him three watches at once. Their family had the highest VIP status among top luxury brands.

There was simply no such thing as purchasing restrictions.

While children's clothes might seem cheap, that's only because they didn't pick those real big brands.

A piece of clothing costing over a hundred thousand was very normal.

When Chen Lu was in Magic City, his wife spoiled their only son to the extreme.

He always had an unlimited card with him since childhood.

It was unexpected that he could give up such a wealthy lifestyle for so long because of one person, Su Xiaoxi.

If they let this continue, the future development plan might all go to waste.

Chen Pingsheng bought Chen Lu about three or four sets of outfits, spending approximately three or four million.

Including the watches, spending one or two million on a shopping trip was considered frugal.

As for himself, he was still the same; whenever top luxury cars had new models, he would make sure to buy one to try out first.

Rolls-Royce launched a world-class luxury car worth 120 million this year.

Ferrari released a top-configured sports car priced over 50 million, while flying cars had already been invented abroad.

They could run on roads, but domestically it wasn't possible yet.

It's hard to say it's a future trend since flying in the skies is much more complicated than on the road.

Back when Chen Pingsheng was with the group, the company's tech department proposed developing flying cars.

The research funds provided were not substantial, mainly because Chen Pingsheng himself wasn't too optimistic about the project.

The technology for small helicopters was already very mature and the prices were not high.

For anyone who could afford flying cars, it would be far better to buy a small helicopter.

Moreover, with the domestic situation, it might take decades before the airspace restrictions would be lifted.

Private jets require flight path reports and approvals before taking off, let alone flying cars.

The future of flying tools will undoubtedly become more advanced, with the premise that restriction of airspace policies is lifted.

Without lifting that, the domestic consumer market can't grow. Who dares to invest a huge amount in such a thing?

He had been spending billions annually on developing flying cars, which was already the top effort in the industry.

Chen Pingsheng buys things decisively and doesn't pick styles for Chen Lu; most of the time, he would choose a big brand and buy whatever suitable items he came across.

Additionally, he thought about it and decided to buy a watch worth over a million for Su Xiaoxi before leaving.

That little girl has had a tough time; it's just that he couldn't convince his wife.

It takes seeing such shopping sprees by people like them, to truly understand the stark contrast between ordinary people and top elites.

Obviously, no matter how small the purchase, it was astonishing to Mo Yao.

He didn't really buy anything significant for himself; he casually picked a ten-million worth Richard Mille.

In the past, it wasn't suitable to wear such watches; now, wearing one as a driver obviously seemed fake.

No introductions needed for that.

When they returned to the company, it was already five in the afternoon.

Chen Pingsheng drove to pick up Chen Lu from school, and after Chen Lu got in the car, he pointed to the gifts in the back.

"They're all for you."

"Dad, why did you buy me these? Are we not pretending to live an ordinary life anymore?"

"If we continue pretending, I'm afraid you might really believe you're just an ordinary person."

Chen Lu naturally opened one of the watch boxes and put a white Richard Mille worth over four million on his wrist.

"Dad, I honestly don't care; I can live any life."

"You might not care, but I do, alright?"

Chen Pingsheng said helplessly, "There's also a women's watch back there, it's for Su Xiaoxi. Isn't her birthday coming up? You give her this watch as a gift."

"Dad, are you okay with me considering Su Xiaoxi my best friend now?"

"I'm simply not against it."

Chen Lu was overjoyed, even happier than receiving so many clothes.

This foolish boy really liked that little girl way too much.

He reminded Chen Pingsheng of his own youth; although he liked her, in truth, few men were not fickle.

He merely curbed his desires due to family control.

In his youth, he also adored Liu Yifei, the voluptuous Yang Mi, and those muse-like Xiaohuas from Tengying Entertainment.

For someone like Chen Lu, instead of letting him keep his distance from Su Xiaoxi, it might be better to let them develop naturally.

Who knows, in a few years, he might not like her anymore?

One has to realize that in any emotional world, what's not obtained is often seen as the best.

Once obtained, love requires both parties to invest effort in maintaining it.

Giving Su Xiaoxi the watch also signified a shift in attitude to a more natural one.

In reality, his thoughts were no different from Song Yanxi's.

Neither believed Su Xiaoxi was a match for his son.

Not even Sun Siming was considered worthy of his daughter.

Yet, there was no choice; the Sun Family was already a top-tier wealthy family in the country.

Sun Siming was undoubtedly excellent.

Even so, he believed only the best man in the world matched his daughter, Chen An'an.

That's fatherly love for you.
