Chapter 23 The Night Everyone Shall Remember!
[A/N I really went out of my way and wrote such a big ch, you can think of it as Halloween Special in advance Haha~]
"Since Chu Fan has already run away, let's do what we were doing."
"B-but."
-there was still some worry on Chu Chenxi's face.
"Come on, in the future you're gonna meet a lot of such people, if you get bothered by them so easily then our happy life will be affected."
-even though she was naive, she was not so naive to the extent that she couldn't understand what he meant accompanied with such an expression ..seeing the knowing smile on his face, Chenxi knew Su Chen's mind was full of shameless and perverted things.
She could only look down to hide her flushed face.
"Hmm, he is getting cocky", she stomped her feet while muttering slowly.
"Oh-oh what is our Chenxi thinking with such a red face?"
"I am not thinking anything bad. I ain't a pervert like you", Chu Chenxi glared at him fiercely.
"Ok-okay"
-Su Chen knew that if he teased her more she may end up crying.
Such a pure girl must be cherished and spoiled slowly according to your taste~
"Nothing is shameless when you are with the one you like, isn't it natural for the people who like each other to do such things that you secretly imagined in your mind?"
-saying he pulled Chenxi without giving her a chance to refute.
And the moment finally came, the thing everyone looks up to when they visit an amusement park-The legendary Ferris-wheel.
The cabin was small, there was a small speaker inside with a love song playing.
Seeing Chu Chenxi's shaking shoulders, Su Chen knew her fear of heights was starting to take hold of her.
She wanted to ask Su Chen to sit beside her instead of opposite her to feel some sense of security.
'But if I ask him, Will he feel that I am shameless and perhaps..thinking something lewd?'
'But he himself said that there is nothing shameful when you are with the one you like, right?'
-Chu Chenxi, at this moment was filled with various conflicting thoughts.
Even if it was such simple things…Unknown to her, little by little, her thinking process had already started to be overwritten and tuned according to Su Chen's taste.
Seeing her puzzled like this, Su Chen smiled as he got up and sat beside her, giving her a sense of security which she desired.
The cabin door closed as the Ferris-wheel started. Both of them had a tacit-understanding and maintained the silence as they savoured the serenity the moment offered.
As they were about to reach the top-most-point, Chenxi closed her eyes as she looked outside through the glass window.
"It's okay, I am here~"
-she suddenly felt a warm hand upon her shoulder.
Su Chen's voice was devoid of any emotion but it didn't matter to Chenxi anymore.
She just needed some sort of support and Su Chen played the role perfectly. Just the feeling that someone was there behind her even if the sky was falling gave her the courage to open her timid eyes once again.
At last, when they finally reached the summit, the Ferris wheel suddenly stopped.
Chenxi was quick to notice the abnormality but seeing Su Chen's confident face she knew there must be something more to it.
"Chenxi!"
"Y-yes"
Under her eyes, he pulled a premium credit card with hundreds of millions of dollars inside and put it in her hands.
"What's the meaning of this?"
-although, she knew he was not a good person but this was too much…

She was not with him because she wanted some money.
"I'm not here for your money."
-Her face was a little flustered and a little angry, staring at Su Chen, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.
"I know."
"I just want my girl to be able to enjoy everything she wants, there is no need to depend on anyone else. Don't think too much, it's normal for a boyfriend to want his girlfriend to have a better life."
"B-Boyfriend?~"
"Thi-things are going too fast."
"Oh, who was so courageous down there when she shouted- Chu Fang please leave me, I am already happy with Su Chen?"
There was a feeling of being spoiled, making her heart beat even more faster.
"It's so much money..."
-She felt that the bank card in her hand was a little hot, and looked at Su Chen with complicated eyes.
"No but, what I gave to you, you must take it for me." With a smile, he said it without a doubt.
"Well, yes!"
- Seeing his domineering tone, she replied subconsciously.
"Very good, this is my good girl."
Looking at him like this, she couldn't hide the admiration in her eyes, and she didn't want to hide it.
"Chenxi, I know about you. I know what you hide deep in your heart."
Seeing his deep gaze, there was no doubt about it…she knew he was talking about her fetish!
But there was not even a slightest of disgust on his face~
She felt happy that there was someone who was willing to accept her after knowing such a thing.
She always had a fear that she would be labelled as some crazy-bitch or a psycho once her secret was out, but his response completely conquered her.
With so many sugar cannons hitting her, Su Chen was sure his performance was 10/10.
She just looked at him, at this point she did not care if the boy in front of her knew all her dark fetish.
Women are actually quite complex, and Chu Chenxi is one of the best among them. Some women like acting cute and coquettish, some like to act strong and domineering-presidents, some are gentle..warm-virtuous, and so on.
Chenxi is gentle and strong. To put it bluntly, she is gentle on your usual days, but she is strong when she should be strong. With it, Su Chen is really satisfied, he even knows what she is hiding in her deepest part..which she herself is not much clear about. How could Chenxi not like such a man?
"Chenxi?"
"Y-yes~"
-this time her tone was much sweeter as if she had eaten honey.
Taking advantage of the momentum and without giving her the slightest time to react, he instantly closed the distance between them.
His hands were holding her face firmly.
Chenxi was caught off-guard by the sudden attack but the high favorability was enough for her to not resist his advance.
Before her mind could overthink, she heard his words~
"Happy Birthday."
With a strong force, her face which was firmly being held in his hands was pulled to a side so as to look outside the glass-window.
Her mind was full of shock as she witnessed what was happening outside.
On the ground, who knows when?.. a lot of people in black suits had long gathered.
Yes, she was sure that there were at least hundreds of people..How did so many people come suddenly? Her mind was full of question marks.
All the general public was long evacuated by them while they had already prepared a lot of things on the ground.
Before she could speak.
She saw those people lighting up various boxes.
From such a height, she wasn't able to get a clear view about what was happening down, but she was able to see the general overview.
Her pupils dilated, she had a guess in her mind but she was not sure if it was possible?
Her lips started trembling.
She blinked again and again to make sure if she was not dreaming.
In her eyes, the boxes burst one after another.
Yes, these were the aerial fireworks which she had already guessed.
The entire night-sky was illuminated under such effects that she had never seen before.
Red, Green, Yellow, Pink, Orange, Purple…. All sorts of colours… Pearls, Brocade, Comet, Crossette, Waterfall.. All sorts of patterns.
It was not only Chu Chenxi, the entire city was taken aback.
It can be said that Su Chen really used up the advantage of being a rich-second generation this time.
Under the power of money, he pulled off such an exaggerated show that no matter what everyone was doing, the moment they heard such loud sounds and looked up in the sky, everyone was mesmerised in the moment.
They stopped doing what they were doing and just enjoyed the beauty of such a display.
Everyone was thinking- What the heck? Who bought so many fireworks?.. Is today some festival they are not aware of?.. Is today something special?
[Did you like my present, Chenxi?]
She couldn't believe her eyes as tears automatically started flowing out one after another.
Since childhood, never has she felt being taken so cared of, never has she felt such an affection!
Her heart was in a mess, the feelings were too turbulent, the ups and downs in such a short time had made her much vulnerable.
It was already dark, the moonlight was shining upon them, making them only look more ethereal.
Su Chen knew the moment was perfect…
The romantic song playing in the background was in perfect-sync.
They were already too close that he could feel her wild-jumping heart..
There was only one thing left to do…
His lips descended and met hers as his arms locked her in an ardent embrace.
This was the final stimulus that put the nail in the coffin.
He could see the favorability that was constantly soaring..
97, 98, 99…
…100? ( life and death hand in hand, with her husband advance and retreat! As long as the host sleeps, favorability will be max!)
A long notification was heard in his mind.
[Congratulations to the host on conquering the most secretive, elusive and the best heroine of the world.]
[Host is advised to sleep with her tonight itself to avoid any accident.]
[Reward will be issued when the system wakes up from recovery mode.]
.....
At a corner..behind a tree, a man with his shirt completely torn-off had a hideous face.
His eyes were so red with anger that if there was a gun in his hand, he would shoot right-away without a doubt!
Chu Fang gritted his teeth as his nails sank in his palms and blood started oozing out.
Yes, how can a protagonist run away so easily?
He hid away and thought of monitoring them secretly.
There was still a faint hope in his mind that Chu Chenxi was coerced by that bastard Su Chen and she was trying to save him from his anger by sending him away.
As an experienced mercenary, his eyesight was very sharp and he could see the details from such a distance easily.
As long as Chu Chenxi shouted even the slightest for help, he would jump directly and save her.
So what if there are many bodyguards? He was also a top mercenary who had killed countless abroad, he would put his life on the line, in his eyes, he had long regarded Chenxi as his concubine. Such a gentle and virtuous woman who doesn't dream of?
But she never once shouted for help!
Never once, she showed any expression of discomfort~
He could see both of them sitting together so closely through the glass cabin of the Ferris wheel, their posture was so ambiguous and they laughed as if they were childhood sweethearts.
Seeing them so intimate even that faint hope in his mind dissipated and when he saw them kissing, he completely lost it.
He growled wildly like a wounded beast, never had he felt so much hatred for anyone.
"Su Chen, you forced me!"
He took out his phone from his jeans pocket and dialed a number.
....
Chu Fang was not the only one who was having a hard time.
In a building that used to be filled with bustling of people, where every employee was once full of confidence and boasted that their company would become one of the best in the country, a woman was lying exhausted on a chair in her office.
She was no other than Mei Qing.
She finally realised what Su Chen meant by taking everything back he gave her.
Just a day had passed and all their funds were exhausted, many properties and shares were already sold, millions of dollars like drops of water were lost in a single day.
She doesn't even know if her family could pass this ordeal.
Already their company's size has shrunk by 90%.
The losses are too heavy and there are still many things to be taken care of.
But this was not the point…
Since the morning she had heard Su Chen's voice, her mind was occupied by the fact that he was spending his day-out with Chu Chenxi.
In the past days, she had no contact with Su Chen. He never called or messaged her.
Her day would start seeing his good morning message, anything she needed.. he would do it immediately.
With his support never had she felt worried, with his identity she easily got many connections and her family's business bloomed.
Now, all of a sudden seeing him not pestering her, seeing no trace of him around her she felt a little loss.
She felt as if something was missing in her life but she couldn't figure out what it was.
She didn't know what was happening to her!
She never loved Su Chen!
So why was she missing his presence? Her mind was messed up.
Was it an obsession? Anger of something that belonged to you being snatched away by others?
Or perhaps some feelings that even she didn't know?
She knew she should be worried about how to solve her company's problems but her mind kept on thinking that Su Chen was spending some time outside with another woman!
Just as she was trying to figure out what her feelings were, from outside the window she saw such a splendid firework-show. Under it, the night-sky was so magnificent that she remembered what Su Chen once said to her-
"Mei Qing, give me your heart, and I shall light up the entire sky of the Roorke city with such a grand-firework that everyone who sees it will think how lucky that person is, for whom someone did such a thing!"
At that time, she just told him not to bother her with such cheap lies and instead help her in making her family's business expand more. At least, with that she could think of him as a friend.
At that very second, she heard Su Chen's voice,
[Did you like my present, Chenxi?]
Her chest tightened, she felt as if a pair of invisible hands were squeezing her heart. She wanted to cry but she felt too suffocated to open her mouth.
She did not know what was happening to her!
She could feel her vision getting darker as if she would faint right away.
