[Warm reminder: Your current Luck Points are 55, still below 100. Within the next week, you may encounter a major setback. The protection period lasts for 24 hours. Host, please increase your Luck Points as soon as possible to avoid suffering a major setback!]
Hearing the notification, Su Han drew in a deep breath.
First, it had been a Catastrophic Disaster. Then it became a Bloody Calamity. Now, at long last, he was no longer facing death. The threat had finally been reduced to a major setback. It felt like being hospitalized and finally leaving the ICU for an ordinary ward.
That alone deserved a drink and a small celebration!
However, when Su Han looked into the distance at Sun Kang, who was sprawled over the table, disbelief still lingered in his eyes. After having his opportunities intercepted and being suppressed by Su Han again and again, this guy somehow still had more than 3,000 Luck Points.
That was simply… outrageous.
After thinking about it for a moment, Su Han immediately understood.
As things stood, Sun Kang still had another trump card: Chen Siyao’s affection.
Su Han clearly remembered that in his previous life, the 8.88 million yuan Engagement Gift he had paid eventually ended up in Sun Kang’s pocket. That guy had used the money to open a café in Jiangnan’s bustling commercial district.
On the second day after its grand opening, Sun Kang had encountered Xu Yiran, a wealthy single woman. The two had hit it off immediately, and Sun Kang had successfully gained the favor of this powerful figure.
His luck had practically gone off the charts!
Therefore, Su Han intended to intercept that opportunity in advance. He would personally open the café in Jiangnan’s bustling commercial district.
As for the Engagement Gift…
Su Han had already made up his mind.
Not a single yuan would fall into Chen Siyao’s hands.
“Ladies and gentlemen! I’m delighted to announce that I will be giving tonight’s main character, my fiancée, Ms. Chen Siyao, a café worth 8.88 million yuan! This café will serve as my Engagement Gift. On the night of our wedding 3 years from now, I will personally hand this café over to the love of my life, Ms. Chen Siyao!”
Su Han spoke with confidence and ease, immediately earning a thunderous round of applause.
Some of the female guests even began squealing excitedly. It was so romantic! Su Han was actually going to spend 3 whole years running a café that represented their love, and then, on their wedding day 3 years later, he would hand it over to his future wife.
This was practically showering everyone present with sweetness!
There was absolutely nothing wrong with such a declaration. After 3 years of proper management, the café might already be turning a healthy profit by the time it was handed over.
However, Chen Siyao, who was seated at the main table, was instantly dumbfounded.
She stared blankly at Su Han as he spoke confidently before everyone, completely unable to understand what was happening.
Hadn’t they agreed beforehand that he would give her an unimaginably extravagant gift at their engagement?
And this was it?
“That’s all?”
Chen Siyao was stunned. She had always been accustomed to ordering Su Han around and lecturing him whenever she pleased. Yet this time, Su Han had publicly announced such an important decision without even asking for her approval.
Mother Chen was equally taken aback.
Of course, she had wanted the 8.88 million yuan Engagement Gift in cash.
However, when she saw the envious gazes all around her, she found it difficult to complain. Moreover, Sun Kang had already drunkenly accused the Chen Family of being obsessed with money earlier. With that still fresh in everyone’s minds, she was too embarrassed to say anything more.
Mother Chen lowered her voice and muttered, “Sigh… 3 years it is, then. A café worth 8.88 million yuan doesn’t sound too bad. What our family lacks right now is someone running a proper business. When the time comes, Siyao, you can be the lady boss and have several of our relatives work at the café. That’ll still give our family plenty of prestige.”
At that moment, however, Chen Siyao frowned deeply.
It wasn’t that she was dissatisfied with the café itself. The problem was that Su Han had previously promised her a large cash gift.
As a business prodigy, she had already made plans for that money.
Now, all she had to do was wait for this rich second-generation good guy’s money to arrive. Once it did, she could put her carefully prepared plans into action!
Compared with Mother Chen, Chen Siyao was undoubtedly far smarter.
Naturally, her appetite was also much greater.
“Su Han, come here for a moment.”
With so many guests watching, Chen Siyao remained exceptionally gentle. She lightly beckoned toward Su Han with her hand.
At that moment, Su Han was holding a glass of red wine, the corners of his lips curling upward.
Ever since making his announcement, he had been carefully observing Chen Siyao’s expression. The moment he saw her frown, excitement surged through his heart.
Because that tiny action just now had actually earned him another 5 Luck Points!
It seemed that earning Luck Points from Chen Siyao was much easier than squeezing them out of Sun Kang.
“Siyao, what did you need me for?”
Chen Siyao rolled her eyes. With her breathtakingly beautiful face, the gesture made her appear unusually playful and charming.
Of course, she only behaved this way in public.
Su Han knew perfectly well that if they were alone in a room right now, that would be when her temper truly emerged.
“Su Han~ What’s going on with you? Why didn’t you tell me about the café beforehand?”
Su Han swallowed, momentarily stunned.
He hadn’t expected Chen Siyao to actually act spoiled toward him.
In the past, that single sentence would have been enough to make Su Han fall completely under her spell. Whatever his goddess wanted, he would obediently do without hesitation.
But now, after living through another lifetime, Su Han knew better.
His Luck Points were still pitifully low. When dealing with a monster like Chen Siyao, caution was essential.
Su Han chuckled and said, “Wasn’t I trying to give you a surprise?”
“What? A surprise?”
“Of course. Siyao, think about it. In 3 years, you’ll be about to graduate from university, and you’ll immediately become the lady boss of a café. Where else could you find something this good? Besides, I chose one of the best locations in Jiangnan’s busiest commercial district. If the café is managed properly, wouldn’t that be much better than going out and working for someone else? Don’t you agree, Aunt?”
Su Han immediately turned toward Mother Chen.
Sure enough, the moment Mother Chen heard that the café would occupy one of the best storefronts in Jiangnan’s bustling commercial district, she was instantly tempted.
From her perspective, receiving such a café as an Engagement Gift would still bring plenty of prestige, even if they had to wait 3 years.
Naturally, it couldn’t compare with receiving 8.88 million yuan in cash.
Still, it was barely acceptable…
“Su Han! I’m talking to you, yet you’re dragging my mom into this. Are you trying to use my mom to pressure me?” Chen Siyao frowned slightly, her voice carrying a hint of petulant anger.
With her sharp intelligence, she instantly saw through Su Han’s intentions.
In the past, Su Han would certainly have hurriedly denied it and begged for mercy on the spot.
But now, he found the woman before him remarkably interesting.
Without another word, Su Han suddenly began putting on an affectionate display in front of everyone.
With impeccable manners and a warm smile, he reached into his pocket and took out an exquisite little box.
The instant everyone around them saw it, excited screams and whistles erupted throughout the hall.
At that moment, Su Han opened the box.
Inside was a plastic bracelet he had just bought outside for 10 yuan!
“Siyao, the gift may be inexpensive, but the feelings behind it are priceless! Other than this bracelet, I can’t think of anything that could better represent my feelings for you. Come, put it on and marry me. You’re worth every bit of this price!”
The instant Su Han finished his heartfelt confession, the surrounding guests erupted into cheers.
Someone shouted, “Get together!”
Another guest yelled, “Kiss!”
Someone else excitedly urged, “Say yes to him…”
However, several sharp-eyed guests stared at the bracelet in bewilderment.
Why did that bracelet look so incredibly similar to the ones being sold at the street stall outside the hotel?
