I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2366 - 1500: A Jerk

Carried a pair of beers, Jiang Chen ascended towards the rooftop garden, only to discover someone was already 'anticipating' his arrival.

"So quickly?"

The other individual took note of his presence, turning around with a face devoid of any recent sorrow or tears, only a mischievous glint. A natural face truly reveals a person's innate beauty, unlike those who rely on makeup.

In contrast to Zheng Jingjing and Guo Ran, Xu Siyi possessed a competitive drive, a desire to triumph. Nevertheless, her sustained proximity to Li Shuru was a testament to her confidence in her own appearance. It was only logical; one whose visage transforms dramatically without makeup couldn't possibly merit a multi-million dollar residence. The character of social elites might be questionable, but their aesthetic discernment was beyond doubt.

"Perhaps dabble in some light makeup; it presents a distinct aesthetic."

Jiang Chen disregarded the banter, proceeding to a nearby moon chair. He settled in, placing one beer can down. He then cracked open the other, taking a slow sip. Xu Siyi must have recently showered, judging by her tear-streaked makeup, now cleaned and subtly radiant after likely applying a facial mask.

"You men are quite perplexing. Some favor mature, meticulously styled women, while others prefer an air of purity and innocence."

Their thoughts were remarkably aligned. Xu Siyi, too, had brought several cans of beer, having already consumed one.

"Cease trying to comprehend men, and simply understand yourselves."

Jiang Chen’s succinct counsel elicited a smile from Xu Siyi. She raised her beer can, proposing, "A toast then～"

Despite being in another's residence and aware of the man's late return, Xu Siyi remained comfortably ensconced against the garden's breeze. Her warm, white two-piece pajamas appeared to be her most modest ensemble, suggesting the prior remark about 'wilted flowers' had indeed resonated.

"I apologize."

Jiang Chen lowered his beer can, a moment of hesitation preceding his apology.

Xu Siyi responded with an easy smile, "For what? You spoke the truth quite accurately."

Gazing at the panorama of the exclusive wealthy district under the night sky, she sighed, "For us women, our most valuable asset has already been exchanged for millions. It wasn't a bad deal, all things considered."

"Now that you're a budding heiress, perhaps you could slightly adjust your future expectations."

"Haha."

Xu Siyi let out a series of uncharacteristic laughs, momentarily shedding her sophisticated demeanor before nodding in agreement. "That aligns with my own thoughts. While I can't rival your immense wealth, as long as I practice frugality, a comfortable life is assured. Lacking funds certainly makes one seek affluence. Now, I can explore different preferences."

"But absolutely no pretty boys, mind you."

Jiang Chen added as advice.

"Hahaha～"

Xu Siyi's laughter intensified, the sound potentially carrying far. However, given the considerable spacing between these detached villas, any concern about disturbing neighbors was negligible. It wasn't everyone's skill to transition a woman from tears to laughter so effortlessly; only Mr. Jiang possessed such a talent.

"Rest assured～, you know my principles. I, Xu Siyi, would never entertain a man who lives off a woman. Financial means are secondary; ambition is paramount!"

Jiang Chen nodded, taking another pull from his beer, remarking, "A profound realization."

"Oh～"

Xu Siyi, failing to grasp his meaning, let out a long sigh. She then leaned slightly closer to Jiang Chen, her voice dropping to a near whisper. "I seek not to be a mistress, but might I be a lover? I desire nothing, and I promise, Shuru shall remain unaware."

Jiang Chen's smile held a knowing amusement. "Are you assisting her in testing me?"

"No."

Xu Siyi's denial was swift and emphatic. "Absolutely not. I swear upon my life."

"Then what is your true motive?"

Jiang Chen remained impassive.

"Can't it be for emotional fulfillment?"

Jiang Chen chuckled again. "Am I some sort of child? If it's merely emotional satisfaction you seek, you could find a new companion daily, never needing the same one twice."

Xu Siyi promptly nudged him with her elbow, expressing her displeasure.

"I'm referring to you. Don't you comprehend? It's only you who makes me overlook conventional considerations."

Jiang Chen tilted his head, a subtle smile playing on his lips. "Am I truly that captivating?"

Xu Siyi met his gaze briefly before looking away, a hint of genuine shyness appearing to surface, much like a woman feeling bashful in the presence of someone she cherishes.

"Would you like to hear the unvarnished truth?"

"Are you certain it will be the truth?"

"Vow not to disclose it to Shuru."

"In that case, it might be best left unsaid."

"No. I must speak it."

Xu Siyi took a substantial gulp of her beer, wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, and confessed, "Were it not for Shuru, I would not have relinquished my desires back then."

"Relinquished? Relinquished what?"

"Stop feigning ignorance. Don't tell me you're oblivious to my affections for you; surely even Shuru is aware."

Jiang Chen offered a silent smile, nursing his beer as his gaze swept over the garden's scenery. "Have you been tending to these plants for her lately?"

"Don't divert the conversation."

Xu Siyi went on, "Were it not for Shuru, had it been another woman, I would have found a method to conquer you, even if it meant resorting to illicit substances."

Jiang Chen's eyelid fluttered.

Why were drugs mentioned again?

Isn't that a tactic typically employed by men?

"However, regarding Shuru... I still find myself incapable of being heartless."

Xu Siyi raised her beer, contemplating her predicament at that moment, a wave of sorrow seemed to wash over her, and tears began to form in her eyes once more.

"Very well."

Jiang Chen chuckled and remarked, "If you had actually drugged me, I certainly would have reported you to the authorities, and you would be somewhere else by now, incarcerated."

"You're going to be the death of me~"

Xu Siyi's composure finally shattered, and the lingering sadness that had just resurfaced was instantly dispelled by her laughter as she playfully struck him.

Men are indeed different from one another.

Is it wealth that causes her to laugh so exuberantly now? Or perhaps it is her status?

"How is it that Shuru is so fortunate."
