She was worried that Chen Haoxuan would ignore her from now on because she kissed him. If that were the case, she would be very sad. Her lips slowly left Chen Haoxuan's, pulling a glistening thread of saliva as they parted. This scene was best described as a lingering connection.
At that moment, Chen Haoxuan woke up. He sat up and adjusted his clothes, not daring to look at Chen Xiumin. He spoke, "Xiumin, that was an accident, right? Since it was an accident, please don't tell anyone, okay?"
Chen Haoxuan was also a victim; what was he afraid of?
Chen Xiumin's entire face turned red. She lowered her head and nervously rubbed the hem of her shirt, shyly saying, "Xuan? Brother Xuan, I didn't mean to do it. You won't be mad at me, will you?"
"As long as you don't tell anyone, I won't be mad," Chen Haoxuan replied.
Chen Xiumin turned to look at Chen Haoxuan seriously and said, "Brother Xuan, don't worry. I won't say anything."
"Good," Chen Haoxuan nodded in response. Even while speaking, he still didn't dare to look at Chen Xiumin. If this got out, the world would be shocked; Chen Haoxuan was actually afraid of a little girl.
Chen Xiumin felt a mix of emotions—happiness, worry, anticipation, and disappointment. She was happy that she kissed her long-time crush, Brother Xuan; she worried that Brother Xuan might ignore her in the future; she anticipated that Brother Xuan would act like the couples in TV dramas where the female lead kisses the male lead and he reciprocates; and she was disappointed that Chen Haoxuan had yet to make any move.
"Brother Xuan, can I still come to play with you anytime like before?" Chen Xiumin asked anxiously. If Chen Haoxuan dared to say no, she would immediately burst into tears.
"Of course," Chen Haoxuan smiled and said. Then he stood up and told Chen Xiumin, "Come with me; I'll take you to get a laptop. Also, here’s the money for the stones you sold." He handed her a one-hundred-dollar bill and led her downstairs.
Chen Haoxuan's villa had many laptops meant for Jiang Dong and the others. Additionally, each guest room had one for visitors' use. Therefore, he had prepared plenty of laptops stored in a warehouse next to where Jiang Dong and the others stayed.
Chen Haoxuan brought Chen Xiumin to the warehouse. Once inside, he pointed at a pile of boxes and said to her, "These are all laptops. They are all the same brand but come in many colors. You can choose whichever you like!"
"Wow, there are so many laptops!" Chen Xiumin exclaimed.
After searching for a long time, Chen Xiumin finally found a pink laptop. She carried the box over to Chen Haoxuan and happily said, "Brother Xuan, I want this one."
"Okay, let's go to the living room to see if it's working, and then I'll install some software for you," Chen Haoxuan replied with a smile.
"Brother Xuan is so nice." Chen Xiumin praised him again. If she hadn't just impulsively kissed Chen Haoxuan on the lips, she would definitely be on her tiptoes to kiss his cheek now.
In the living room, Chen Haoxuan checked the laptop for any issues. After confirming it was fine, he helped Chen Xiumin download various software, including a browser and office applications.
Once Chen Haoxuan finished downloading the software for her, Chen Xiumin left because it was almost mealtime, and she felt embarrassed to stay at Chen Haoxuan's place for dinner. When she got home, she took out the one hundred yuan she earned from selling stones to give to her mother. They had agreed that half of her earnings would go to her mother. Seeing that it was only one hundred yuan, her mother felt too shy to take it. As for the laptop that Chen Haoxuan gifted her daughter, she didn't oppose it; after all, with how wealthy Chen Haoxuan was, a laptop was like candy to him, so there was no need to be polite.
After dinner, since it wasn't yet time to buy stones, many villagers were already waiting at Chen Haoxuan's doorstep. This time, he intended to sell the stones to Soo Yihan and other wealthy individuals who liked stones. For those particularly beautiful stones, he planned to carve them. He believed that with his current fame, anything he carved could easily sell for hundreds of thousands.
Despite having numerous assets and being perceived as wealthy by people around the world, only he and the leader of the Dragon Group knew that he actually didn't have much money at the moment because he still owed over five billion RMB to the leader of the Dragon Group. Therefore, he needed to make some money first to pay off his debts because Chen Haoxuan didn't like owing others money.
Don't underestimate Chen Haoxuan's stone business; he initially made 1.1 billion RMB from selling stones with just one piece of work. So when he said he would pay off the fifty billion RMB debt by selling stones, no one doubted him.
With nothing much else to do at the moment, carving stones was both enjoyable and lucrative for him. Thus, he planned to stay in Chen Family Village during this period to focus on his art.
Chen Haoxuan didn't expect this stone buying event would create such a stir. He saw that everyone coming to sell stones either carried baskets or pushed carts filled with stones. He didn't think about how many impoverished villagers had made quite a bit of money when he first started buying stones; this encouraged villagers to pick up any attractive stones they found and take them home. Over two years of collecting stones day by day added up significantly!
There were too many people, and each person had a large number of stones. It was impossible to buy them all today. Therefore, Chen Haoxuan had Jiang Dong and others set up many tents outside for the villagers to rest in and also arranged for them to cook meals for the villagers.
Chen Haoxuan's energy was extraordinary. He spent an entire day and night acquiring stones, and despite not sleeping at all during that time, he showed no signs of fatigue. This puzzled the villagers, who began to wonder if he had taken some kind of drug.
It turned out that the day and night he spent were worth it; Chen Haoxuan managed to acquire hundreds of good stones. He estimated that he could make several million from them. What made him even happier was that he had purchased more than ten large, beautifully colored Water Stones. These stones were perfect for carving, and he believed that once carved, they could sell for at least One Hundred Million RMB.
Strange and unusual stones earned less money, so it was better to acquire larger stones with beautiful colors for carving, which would yield greater profits. Therefore, Chen Haoxuan informed the villagers that he would no longer purchase various odd stones but would only acquire larger stones with beautiful colors, and he also indicated that he would pay high prices for them.
