The Wealthy Tycoon’s Game of Life

Chapter 40: Chapter 37: Expanding the Framework

Morning.

The faint rays of the sun seeped through the thick curtains, casting flickering shadows on the floor.

Jiang Mo slowly opened her eyes, her soft body wrapped in the large bed was exuding signals of laziness from every cell, making her subconsciously want to close her eyes and sleep a bit more. But the corner of her eye suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure, jolting her awake as she quickly sat up in bed.

“Awake?”

Zhou Wang, who was sitting on the sofa flipping through an entertainment magazine, put down the magazine, stood up, and stretched, “If you’re awake, come out for breakfast. I’m in a rush to get to the library.”

Jiang Mo instinctively lifted the quilt to check, and there was nothing unusual; she slept very soundly last night.

“Stop checking, I’ve just arrived and haven’t had time to do anything. But if you don’t pull your dress up, I can’t guarantee I won’t.”

Zhou Wang chuckled, staring at her intently.

Only then did Jiang Mo realize one of the straps of her nightgown had slipped down, merely caught by something, so she wasn’t exposed, but the beautiful curve still fell into Zhou Wang’s view.

“Ah!”

Jiang Mo exclaimed, quickly threw off the quilt, and fled into the master bedroom bathroom.

Only after closing the solid wood door did Jiang Mo heave a sigh of relief. She walked to the sink and was about to freshen up when her eyes fell on her slightly swollen lips, bringing a moment of distraction.

Three times.

She did not understand why Zhou Wang had pinned her against the wall and kissed her three times.

That bone-penetrating passion was like the strongest poison, yet it was candy-flavored; she was close to suffocation but could not resist.

The last time, Jiang Mo even gave some response, and now thinking back, it made her feel deeply ashamed.

It wasn’t like her, but somehow, it was her.

When Jiang Mo finished freshening up and changed into new clothes, Zhou Wang was already waiting for her by the dining table.

Breakfast was still very sumptuous, not only with Chinese rice noodles, soybean milk, and fried dough sticks but also Western toast, Berlin sausages, and omelets.

“I wasn’t sure what you’d like, so I had Bella prepare one of each.”

Seeing Jiang Mo still choose Western food, Zhou Wang pushed the remaining Chinese breakfast in front of him and began to eat the rice noodles elegantly.

He didn’t really care what he ate, as long as nothing went to waste.

The sunshine was bright outside the window, and the two quietly ate their breakfast. Jiang Mo occasionally looked up at Zhou Wang, and a small amount of tenderness unconsciously grew in her eyes.

Even though she had accepted the money transfer after Zhou Wang left last night, such a harmonious moment made her immerse herself in it, thinking there wasn’t much difference between them and a typical couple.

“Do I have flowers on my face?”

Zhou Wang ate for a while, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and suddenly asked.

“… Zhou Wang, I have something to tell you.”

Jiang Mo said softly, bowing her head, “I might need to leave Ming City for a few days…”

“Are you going to Hang City for research with your professor?”

“How do you know that?”

Jiang Mo looked up, surprised.

“Oh, Ding Yi told me when we were chatting. She mentioned there’s a big case over there, and Professor Wang wants you all to go and learn from it, right?”

Junior Sister Ding…

Hearing that name, Jiang Mo felt a faint pain in her heart. Although it was an inadvertent mention, that name directly extinguished the tiny bit of fantasy growing in her heart, pulling her back to cold reality.

“By the way, the reason you went for a graduate degree, even though it has nothing to do with your major in law, is to overturn your dad’s case, right?”

Jiang Mo didn’t speak, and Zhou Wang asked another question.

“Yes.”

Jiang Mo nodded, then shook her head, speaking softly, “I don’t have the ability myself, but the second trial hasn’t started yet. If I can get Professor Wang to help…”

“No wonder,” Zhou Wang mused.

“Overturning the case might be impossible, but even a reduced sentence would be better.”

As Jiang Mo spoke, her face dimmed a bit, “But I’m too stupid, and the professor doesn’t really like me.”

“Hurry and eat, Bella has been waiting for a while.”

Zhou Wang didn’t continue the topic, only urging her.

Bella was waiting?

Although puzzled, Jiang Mo only assumed Zhou Wang had something to attend to and did not ask further, silently continuing with her breakfast.

After Jiang Mo finished her meal, Zhou Wang picked up his phone and sent a message. Soon, there was a knock at the door.

Zhou Wang walked over to open the door, and then, to Jiang Mo’s astonishment, Bella led a line of young women dressed in various professional sales attire, pushing long racks of clothes inside.

Three racks held various styles of clothing—long dresses, boots, coats, jackets, and undergarments. Jiang Mo even saw a section on the Balenciaga rack with various styles of stockings.

Besides Balenciaga, the other two racks belonged to LV and GUCCI.

All women’s clothing.

“Zhou Wang, this, this is…”

Jiang Mo was somewhat stunned, having guessed what was happening.

She had only heard that luxury brands offered home service, but this was her first time witnessing it.

“Time was tight, and Bella could only contact these three brands, but there should be enough styles for you to choose from. Feel free to try them; you can keep what you like.”

Zhou Wang understood how troublesome it could be for women to shop for clothes. After saying that, he went to the living room to play on his phone, leaving Jiang Mo to have the space.

But to Zhou Wang’s surprise, Jiang Mo was actually pretty quick. Just half an hour later, he heard Bella’s shout.

Zhou Wang walked over, surprised, and when he saw the two sets of clothes Jiang Mo had picked out, he couldn’t help but frown.

Jiang Mo mostly chose relatively cheap items from GUCCI, and he had asked LV to send over several bags, yet she didn’t take a single one.

One set couldn’t even be called a set, as it was just a lone long dress.

“Is this the clothes you picked?”

Zhou Wang glanced at Jiang Mo with dissatisfaction.

Jiang Mo was a bit nervous, thinking she might have picked too much. She originally only wanted to choose one set, but she hadn’t bought decent clothes in such a long time, so she picked an extra set when she couldn’t resist.

“Maybe I shouldn’t take this dress then.”

Jiang Mo bit her lip, grabbing the knit dress from LV, intending to hang it back on the rack.

The smiles of the luxury saleswomen, which were already stiff, completely disappeared now.

They spent one to two hours preparing these clothes, thinking they had landed a big order, only for it to end like this?

“Never mind, I’ll teach you how to choose.”

Zhou Wang helplessly rubbed his temples and walked over. With Jiang Mo spending like this, it would take forever to spend the 1 million.

Woman, you need to broaden your horizons!

“Come on, just tell me which ones you don’t like?”

“Ah?”
