Xu Mengyao's Wealth!

Lin Chen took Lin Xiaoqian back to the rented apartment.

"Dad, why are we back here?"

"Aren't we moving tomorrow?"

Lin Xiaoqian asked in confusion.

Lin Chen smiled. "No one's been living here, Xiaoqian. Look, isn't it a little dirty everywhere?"

"Dad needs to clean the apartment."

"That way, tomorrow we can just move our things in."

Lin Xiaoqian nodded. "Dad, I'll help you."

"Sure."

"With Xiaoqian helping Dad, we'll definitely get it clean faster."

Lin Chen said with a chuckle.

Soon, Lin Chen rolled up his sleeves and got to work.

Lin Xiaoqian "helped" beside him.

She was only two years and two months old, so tiny—what help could she really offer? But having her by his side filled the place with joy.

"Ding... Host, your physique has increased by one."

"Your physique has increased by three points today and has reached its growth limit."

An hour later, the system's voice rang out in Lin Chen's mind.

A smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.

Carrying Lin Xiaoqian and doing housework had gotten him to the limit with ease. From now on, his physique should be able to increase by three points every day.

"Xiaoqian, we're done."

"We've gotten it pretty clean already."

Lin Chen said with a smile as he gave the floor one final mop.

Lin Xiaoqian said happily, "Dad, you're amazing. I want tomorrow to come quickly so we can move into our new home."

"Qian Qian likes it here."

Lin Chen looked around. The apartment looked even better after being cleaned, and he was quite satisfied with every aspect of it.

I need to find a way to earn money and buy this apartment. Otherwise, if the landlord sells it and we have to move, Qian Qian will probably cry.

Housing prices in Magic City had dropped somewhat. The average was now fifty-seven thousand per square meter, while Ziyuan Community was a high-end residential complex and much more expensive, averaging a little over eighty thousand. This apartment cost thirteen million in total.

"Xiaoqian, let's go."

"Dad will make you something tasty when we get home."

Lin Chen carried Lin Xiaoqian home.

Someone had set up a bookstall by the roadside, and Lin Chen bought several storybooks.

"Dad, can you read me a story first?"

After they got home, Lin Xiaoqian hugged the storybooks and asked expectantly.

"Sure."

"But Dad needs to start cooking the rice first."

Lin Chen said with a smile.

After starting the rice cooker, Lin Chen took Lin Xiaoqian to the balcony. His apartment had one, but it was tiny.

"Xiaoqian, this story is called The Ugly Duckling—"

Lin Chen held Lin Xiaoqian and began telling her the story slowly.

Five Minutes passed.

The system's voice sounded in Lin Chen's mind. "Host, your Fairy Tale reading volume and Fairy Tale creation ability have begun to improve."

"The difficulty of both is lower than that of improving physique. After telling stories for a cumulative ten hours, you will reach a very high level."

Lin Chen said in his mind, "System, that doesn't give me a clear enough idea."

"Levels one through five: Level 1 is ordinary, Level 2 is proficient, Level 3 is master, Level 4 is Master level, and Level 5 is Grandmaster. The highest level in the world is Level 5, Grandmaster. What level can I reach?"

The system replied, "You can reach Master level in ten hours. In twenty hours, you can reach Grandmaster level. Host, there should be higher levels above that."

Lin Chen said, "Then... Level 6 will be Legend, and Level 7 will be Myth."

"Understood, Host."

"All skills will be classified according to the levels you have established."

The system replied considerately.

Lin Xiaoqian looked up at Lin Chen and asked adorably, "Dad, why did you stop? Are you tired?"

Lin Chen smiled. "Dad thought of something else—"

Lin Chen continued telling the story.

Knowledge of countless stories continuously surfaced in his mind.

The system was increasing the number of stories he had read, while his ability to create stories also rapidly improved.

These days, parents were willing to spend money on their children. If he could publish a good storybook, he would earn quite a lot.

But if he wanted to make money, he first had to improve his own abilities.

After keeping Lin Xiaoqian company for half an hour, Lin Chen smiled and said, "Xiaoqian, can you read by yourself for a while? Dad needs to cook. There'll be meat you like."

"Mm-hmm."

Lin Chen finished cooking in half an hour.

"Dad, it's so delicious."

"It's even tastier than lunch."

Lin Xiaoqian said happily after taking a bite.

Lin Chen put some greens into Lin Xiaoqian's bowl. "Xiaoqian, then eat some vegetables. We can't be picky eaters."

"Dad, then I'll eat a tiny bit."

"Just a tiny bit."

Lin Xiaoqian really did eat only the tiniest bite.

A smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.

That was an improvement compared to lunch. She had not eaten any vegetables at all then.

After dinner, Lin Chen bathed Lin Xiaoqian and changed her into pajamas.

Then he quickly took a shower himself.

"Xiaoqian, what's wrong?"

When Lin Chen came out of the bathroom, he found Lin Xiaoqian crying.

"Dad, I miss Mom."

Two tears hung on Lin Xiaoqian's Little Face.

"Xiaoqian, Mom will come see you in a few days. Mom is working right now, so let's not disturb her, okay?"

"Dad will keep telling you stories!"

Lin Chen said as he held Lin Xiaoqian tightly.

Xu Mengyao had not added him on WeChat, so they could not video call. Even with Lin Xiaoqian staying with him, Xu Mengyao still had not added him on WeChat, which showed that she was still rather resistant to him deep down.

Lin Chen did not bring it up himself either, lest he be rebuffed.

An hour later, Lin Xiaoqian fell asleep listening to the story.

I have a Precious Daughter, the system has awakened, and my Cooking Skill, physique, and Fairy Tale abilities have improved. What a perfect day.

A smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.

"System, if I practice something else now, can other abilities appear?"

Lin Chen asked in his mind.

The system replied, "They will not appear if you deliberately do so. They will naturally appear as the host spends time with the child."

"Mm."

Lin Chen nodded slightly.

That was good too. He would not have to rack his brains trying to figure out how to improve.

"Mengyao, what are you worrying about?"

"Are you troubled by having so much money and not knowing how to spend it?"

Xu Mengyao's Best Friend, Shen Qing, asked.

Shen Qing's family was quite wealthy, with assets of Thirty Million, but compared to Xu Mengyao's wealth, it was hardly worth mentioning.

Xu Mengyao's parents had built a vast business empire for her. When the group was handed over to her a year ago, it had assets worth forty to fifty billion.

The Xu Family held Fifty-one Percent of the shares.

Xu Mengyao was capable and lucky. After her parents left everything behind and went abroad, the group's assets reached sixty billion.

As much as thirty billion belonged to the Xu Family.

Xu Mengyao was her parents' only child. All of that would belong to her in the future.

"I sent Qian Qian to Lin Chen."

Xu Mengyao said after taking a sip of Red Wine.

"Huh?"

Shen Qing stared at Xu Mengyao in shock.

She was Xu Mengyao's Best Friend, so she knew about what had happened back then.

"Mengyao, do you want to be with Lin Chen?"

Xu Mengyao shook her head. "I have no such intention. We're people from two different worlds. We're simply not suitable for each other."

"It was Qian Qian who said she wanted her dad."

"She's Over Two Years Old now and has started to understand things. She gets very envious when she sees other children with their fathers by their side. When other children say she doesn't have a father, she gets very upset too."

Shen Qing asked, "Mengyao, haven't you thought about finding someone to marry?"

Xu Mengyao said, "There's a good chance I can't have any more children. If I marry someone, the chances of him cheating would be through the roof."

"Besides, having Qian Qian is enough for me."

Shen Qing asked, "Lin Chen is Qian Qian's dad, so what are you worried about? He is himself, and you are yourself. You both share the child. There's nothing wrong with that."

Xu Mengyao said dejectedly, "I'm worried about Qian Qian."

"Can Lin Chen take good care of her?"
