This Girl Wins Three Hundred Million Dollars

Chapter 143

Yu Shu trembled as she stepped onto the weight scale, lowering her head to look at the number, feeling a sense of sorrow creeping in.

Three pounds, in three days, she had lost three pounds.

Shen Youlin hugged her from behind, glancing at the number on the scale and chuckling softly: "If you want to lose weight in the future, you don't need to go to the gym."

As he spoke, his breath caressed Yu Shu's nape, the thick scent of pheromones sending shivers down her spine.

Shen Youlin was simply inhuman, and in these three days, she hadn't left this bedroom even once. How could she have known that the obsessive Shen Youlin also came with an incubus buff?

Yu Shu was nearly in tears: "Can you act like a normal person?"

"What makes you think I'm not normal?"

"Everything about you! Aren't you worried about... you know, exhausting yourself?"

"That would be wonderful," Shen Youlin's smile grew even brighter, "To die while making love to you, what could be more beautiful?"

"No way! I don't want to end up on the front page of the news!"

After much pleading, Yu Shu finally managed to convince Shen Youlin to let her visit Yu Fanxing at the hospital. The moment she stepped into the sunlight, Yu Shu took a deep breath of fresh, free air, her eyes brimming with tears, for her love for this land ran deep.

The sky above the liberated zone was clear and bright.

On the way to the hospital, Yu Shu played with her phone, and a message popped up without warning - Major Drug Lord from the Golden Triangle Captured!

She eagerly opened it to read, with Shen Youlin's arm around her, glancing at the news content: "I know more details than the news. Jin Mao was captured alive, and execution by firing squad awaits him. Shen Hui's fate is even worse - he fell off a cliff while trying to escape, didn't die, but is now paralyzed from the waist down with no feeling below his chest. He'll spend the rest of his life bedridden."

"What leverage did Shen Hui have?" Yu Shu asked, "For the Drug Lord to go through so much trouble to get him on camera."

"Shen Hui helped him launder money secretly for many years, and he has a large stash of gold hidden overseas."

Yu Shu's heart skipped a beat at the mention of gold: "A large stash, how much?"

"At least twenty billion in value."

No matter how much money there was, if it came from illegal means, Shen Hui's fate served as a lesson - you could earn all the riches in the world, but have no life to spend them.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Shen Youlin took out a crystal trophy from Yu Shu's handbag and lightly tossed it onto Yu Fanxing's bed: "Here, a reward for you."

The trophy depicted a phoenix spreading its wings to take flight, with the words "Best Supporting Actress" engraved on the body. The entire trophy was rather crudely made, clearly a cheap item costing a few dozen yuan on Taobao.

"A cheap item is one thing, but why 'Best Supporting Actress'?!" Yu Fanxing scrutinized the trophy disdainfully.

Shen Youlin pointed at Yu Shu: "The Best Actress is right here."

"But I had more lines!"

"You're old."

"My expressions were on point and emotions were rich!"

"You're old."

"Dramas nowadays favor mature female leads, they make shows centered around elderly women."

"You're old."

Yu Fanxing was so enraged that she flipped over the small table on her bed: "Can't you say something else?"

"You're old, and ugly." Shen Youlin sneered coldly, "Ugly people get more supporting roles."

Yu Shu raised her hand: "Teachers, I have a question! When did you two rehearse this script?"

Shen Youlin: "There was no script."

He had merely given Yu Fanxing a look while pinching her earlier. Yu Fanxing immediately understood and added an eyelid twitching expression to her performance.

Yu Shu: "..."

Yu Shu applauded the two teachers' remarkable connection and outstanding acting skills: "Mother and son, heart-to-heart, mother and son, heart-to-heart..."

"Who the hell shares a heart with her?!"

"Who the hell shares a heart with him?!"

The two spoke in unison.

Yu Shu: "..."

Shen Youlin didn't want to stay in the hospital room any longer and didn't even bother coming up with an excuse, choosing to wait for Yu Shu out in the hallway.

Yu Fanxing eyed the scarf tied around Yu Shu's neck, her tone suggestive: "You've had it really rough these past three days, only coming to see me today. Did you just get out of the little black room?"

Yu Shu laughed awkwardly: "I've been... a little busy these past two days."

Yu Fanxing burst out laughing: "You've never liked scarves, when have you ever worn something like this?"

Yu Shu covered her face: "You see through it all, but you're still my good sister."

"I won't let it slide. When you came in, I noticed your steps were unsteady, and in the first ten minutes of sitting down, you yawned for a full five minutes..."

Yu Shu gritted her teeth, unable to tease back, and could only flee: "I still have things to do, I'll leave first, bye."

Yu Fanxing watched her retreating back, laughing heartily: "You should have left sooner, what are you hanging around me for? Go on and do what you need to do."

She took out her iPad from under her pillow and continued watching her drama, admiring the young idol actors.

The thought of going home made Yu Shu anxious - she couldn't go home, it was too dangerous. She dragged Shen Youlin to a private kitchen renowned for its slow-cooked dishes, and after eating, she dragged him to watch a movie. There weren't any new releases, but a classic romance film was being re-screened.

Shen Youlin tugged at the corner of his mouth: "Don't we have a cinema at home?"

"Uh... the home cinema is too small, the movie theater has a better atmosphere."

"Oh~" Shen Youlin nodded in realization, "With atmosphere, so you like doing it in the cinema."

"..."

From that point on, Yu Shu no longer had a say. With a single phone call from Shen Youlin, the entire nearby cinema was reserved for their private use - not just a private screening, but the entire cinema, with all staff serving only the two of them.

Shen Youlin sat down and casually instructed the staff: "Find a few romance films to play back-to-back, turn off all the cameras, and don't disturb us even if there's an earthquake or fire."

The staff responded with a suggestive tone, leaving them with blankets, tissues, cola, and popcorn before departing.

Yu Shu kept her head lowered and shoulders hunched the entire time, doing her best to minimize her presence, not having the face to look at the staff.

Once they were alone, Shen Youlin pulled her onto his lap.

Yu Shu's expression was more miserable than tears: "Just leave me be."

"What are you thinking?" Shen Youlin wrapped the blanket snugly around her, speaking in a righteous tone: "Don't fill your mind with all sorts of strange ideas. We shouldn't be indecent people, we should be useful to society."

Yu Shu let out a cold, mocking laugh, but for the first ten-plus minutes of the movie, Shen Youlin behaved himself. Yu Shu gradually relaxed, leaning against his embrace, unable to stifle her yawns, and soon fell asleep to the background music.

For however long she slept, Shen Youlin watched her just as long, even etching the curve of each of her eyelashes into his memory.

How could such a person exist? No matter how much he looked, it was never enough. Just a slight tilt of her head, a faint smile, or a furrow of her brow could effortlessly throw his heart into turmoil.

Yu Shu's timing for waking up was rather inopportune - the giant screen was playing the iconic scene from "Titanic" where Rose and Jack get in the old car. After exchanging a glance, Rose embraces Jack from behind, and in the next frame, Rose leaves a handprint on the steamy car window...

"Awake?" Shen Youlin chuckled softly, his chest vibrating slightly, "I remember now, you promised to try having car sex before."

"No... no, I didn't."

"Is that so? Whether you did or didn't, it doesn't matter. We'll drive home ourselves in a bit..."

"Let's... let's just go home!"

Shen Youlin pretended not to understand: "Oh, the garage works too."

"Be normal, I'm scared."

Shen Youlin's lust-crazed expression, like that of a horny teddy bear, had already left an indelible psychological scar on Yu Shu's heart.

Shen Youlin brushed a stray strand of hair from Yu Shu's cheek and tucked it behind her ear: "You're scared now, but you won't dare to be in the future."

Finally, they made their way back to the apartment building. Yu Shu pulled Shen Youlin to the back of the building, where an open-top Lamborghini Veneno sat on an open space, surrounded by fresh red roses. Rose petals were arranged in front of the car, spelling out: "For my precious darling."

This car was one of only nine in the world. Yu Shu had requested Mr. Rodriguez's help to acquire it from the previous owner, and it had just been delivered today.

Yu Shu cleared her throat: "This is the concubine your wife has taken for you. Do you like it?" As the domineering CEO, he should be prepared to gift his lover luxury cars and roses.

Shen Youlin looked at Yu Shu's expectant gaze and finally couldn't hold back his smile, his mask of feigned indifference cracking. "I love it. I love anything you give me."

"Even if you gave me poison, I would take it; even if you handed me a bomb and told me it was a rose, I would accept it with a smile."

"Pfft!" Yu Shu spat, pulling him into an embrace by the neck. "Explode my ass! How could I bear to harm your delicate, flower-like face?"

Shen Youlin lowered his head and kissed her lips, the two-billion-dollar car now just a backdrop.

From a window above the apartment building, someone witnessed the scene and excitedly shrieked, whipping out their phone to record a video.
