Many descendants

Chapter 1206 Money Obsession

Another month passed in the blink of an eye, and Su Yan still hadn't received any news from the Su couple.

She had never even met Gu Zhenting, and the Third Princess had only met him once when the marriage was decided.

At other times, it was just her and Gu Cheng on the island with a group of servants, keeping to themselves and not interfering with each other.

Su Yan goes out every day to do the "Daily Righteous Acts" task to earn prestige points.

However, this is still far from 170 billion!

After running 20 kilometers around the island's ring track, Su Yan arrived at the lakeside.

Looking at her own face reflected in the mirror, with her flowing ponytail, red lips and white teeth, and rosy cheeks, she exuded a healthy and youthful beauty that could never be achieved with makeup.

"She's really good-looking!"

"Tch~ Narcissist!"

Su Yan turned her head and saw Gu Cheng's pale face, and the more she looked at it, the more bored she felt.

"When you go to school to register tomorrow, don't tell anyone you're my fiancé. You're not good enough for me!" After saying that, Su Yan continued running away.

Gu Cheng snapped, "Are you sick in the head?"

Su Yan turned around, ran backwards with ease, pointed to her face, and said, "Anyone who isn't blind can tell which one of us is sick!"

After having a hearty breakfast, Su Yan went into her study.

That's right. She has already carved out her own territory on this island, and Gu Cheng must get her permission before he can set foot there.

As for her actions, the Third Princess sent word that it was approved!

Su Yan's territory boasts the largest study on the entire Pearl Island, as well as a gym and an indoor swimming pool.

Gu Cheng wasn't very interested in swimming pools; outdoor pools suited him better, although it was a bit annoying that he never got a tan no matter how much sun he basked in.

The gym also has backups.

But he desperately needs a study!

Because it contains many rare and precious books that cannot be found anywhere else.

During lunch, Gu Cheng chewed on the tender, bouncy steak and said to Su Yan, "I need to go to the study to look up information this afternoon."

"Eat that plate of vegetables, and I might consider it." Su Yan looked at the untouched plate of vegetables that Gu Cheng had left untouched.

Gu Cheng frowned, resisting, "What does reading have to do with eating vegetables?"

"Seeing you do something you don't like, and it pleases me!" Su Yan grinned, revealing a set of bright, healthy teeth that made Gu Cheng want to smash them!

Unfortunately, I had no choice but to eat vegetables in order to keep the books.

After finishing the meal in a few bites, Gu Cheng drank some soup to mask the taste of the food and said, "Password!"

The study door is now secured with a vault-level security lock; without her password, there's no way to get in, which is why he had no choice but to compromise.

"Listen, I'll only say it once! Today's password is..." Actually, she didn't know either. She had asked Xiaomei to help her set a 28-digit dynamic password for the safety lock, and she had to ask Xiaomei before she could go to the study.

What's today's password?

【19436@1047%564&769971276*18】

After Su Yan read out the 28-digit password, she noticed that Gu Cheng's face was even greener than the vegetables he had just eaten.

"They're just a few lousy books, I don't care if I don't want to read them!" Gu Cheng threw down his napkin and got up from the table.

Su Yan said to the housekeeper, Sai Sai Xia, "Thank you for your help. I'd like one, no, two steaks!"

“Okay, Miss Su!” Sai Sai Xia said with a smile.

After enjoying a sumptuous and delicious lunch, Su Yan exercised for a while before going back to her room for a nap.

Before going to bed, she wrote down the password to the study and had the housekeeper give it to Gu Cheng, for use only today.

The password changes after midnight, and the safety lock will automatically change the password. If he is still inside, he will be locked out and unable to get out.

After being locked up twice, Gu Cheng became more obedient and stopped staying in the study past midnight.

Because Su Yan goes to bed promptly at nine o'clock every night, she refuses to be disturbed unless there is an epic disaster!

On either side of the entrance to the study are two majestic lion statues carved from white jade.

Behind the towering, five-meter-high vermilion gate lies a vast library hall.

This collection contains 5,627,689 items, including stamps, drawings, newspapers, manuscripts, and more, in as many as 286 languages.

Every year, the Third Princess would have people search for more books to include in the collection, which cost a considerable sum.

Originally, this study room did not have a security lock.

However, after seeing the items here, although Su Yan wasn't particularly interested in collecting, she was certain they were priceless treasures. Thinking about how these things would belong to her after she married Gu Cheng, she felt she needed to protect them even more.

After obtaining the Third Princess's consent, she immediately strengthened the management of the study.

All the doors and windows were replaced with the highest level of bulletproof and blast-proof glass, especially the fire prevention equipment, which she would inspect regularly. Furthermore, nothing was allowed to be taken out of the house. Even a newspaper, if the Third Princess came, couldn't be taken away.

Unless you have her special permission, you can only look at the documents in the study; once you step outside, an alarm will be triggered!

Gu Cheng's study companion, Eisent, glanced at the time on his wrist-mounted computer—23:49—and looked anxious.

"Young Master, Miss Su's password update time is approaching. Let's leave now. Otherwise, if you stay here, you'll have to agree to her unreasonable demands before you can get out."

"..." Gu Cheng closed the book dejectedly. "Let's go."

After leaving the room, the security lock in the study displayed a message: "Password updated. Please use the new password to unlock."

"It's just a few books, why are you making it sound like there are some unspeakable secrets inside?" Gu Cheng's lips twitched slightly as he went back to his room to rest.

Eisent gave an awkward laugh. "Well... it seems that Her Highness the Princess gave this study to Miss Su as part of her engagement gift, so everything inside now belongs to Miss Su. Because the catalog involved is too large, it may take some time to complete the formalities."

"What?" Gu Cheng's eyes widened. "How come I didn't know?"

“I heard it from my grandma yesterday.” Cecilia is Eisente’s grandma.

"Will she get all the ownership of Pearl Island someday? Who's really just staying here temporarily?!" Gu Cheng's face turned red with anger.

Eisent kept his head down and didn't say anything, because that was indeed a possibility.

"Young Master, it's time to rest. You have to go to school early tomorrow morning. You don't want to get up later than Miss Su, do you?" Sai Sai Xia came over with a smile.

"Of course!" Gu Cheng raised his chin slightly, looking aloof and arrogant.

Eisent bowed to Cecilia and followed Gu Cheng away.

"Escent, remember to wake me up early."

"Yes, Master."

"I must get there before her tomorrow..."

Saisaiya checked the area around the study and left only after confirming that there were no problems.

……

Early in the morning.

Su Yan ran a lap around the island's running track and ran into Gu Cheng.

"I got up quite early today."

“I arrive earlier than you every day, I just don’t come out. The housekeeper said there’s only one car on the island today, so we’ll be taking the same car to school.”

"no problem."

“I am a day student and do not live at school.”

“Then I’ll commute to school.”

"Why are you following me? Let me tell you, I have a woman I like, and even if we get engaged, it won't change our relationship."

"She doesn't care that you're engaged?"

"Don't care."

“I don’t mind. It’s fine if the three of us live together in the future. She’ll be responsible for sleeping with you, and I’ll be responsible for registering the household.”

"You...you're out of your mind!" Gu Cheng's eyes twitched from staring.

"What kind of talk is that? Would someone with a screw loose get engaged to you?"
