After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

"Sure!"

As Chen Yu uttered those two words, he suddenly smiled.

It was as if a massive stone that had been pressing on his heart had been shifted away.

Tong Ya, too, bit her lip lightly, her arms already around Chen Yu's neck, tightened a bit more.

"Sir, your wife has injured her neck, please take her to the ambulance to get it checked out!"

Only after the nurse next to him reminded him did Chen Yu come to his senses.

He hastily carried Tong Ya to the ambulance.

"It's alright, it's just a superficial wound!" The nurse sighed in relief but looked at Chen Yu with a gaze full of admiration.

"Big bro, you're a real man, trading your life for your wife. I've only seen that in movies."

Chen Yu smiled awkwardly, as his actions had actually been subconscious.

To him, there seemed to be nothing worth mentioning.

But for Tong Ya, it was different; after all this time, she had finally gotten Chen Yu to admit his feelings. How could she let this moment slip by?

"My husband is incredible. It was just that guy who took me hostage earlier, otherwise not even ten of them would be a match for my husband."

Chen Yu coughed twice and gave Tong Ya an annoyed glance.

If he didn't stop her soon, Tong Ya would probably boast him up to the heavens.

Tong Ya giggled and suddenly stretched out her hand to Chen Yu.

"Hubby, I want a hug!"

Chen Yu was stunned for a second, even though the request was a bit much.

But now that Tong Ya was lying in the ambulance, it served as some consolation.

He didn't say much, just bent down gently and lifted Tong Ya into his arms.

The nurse in the car seemed somewhat unable to watch.

"Wow, this is too sweet! But your wife's injury isn't serious; here are some topical medications for wounds. You can take these and get off the ambulance."

Chen Yu accepted the medicine with a bit of embarrassment and then carried Tong Ya off the vehicle.

Chen Guang, Li Lan, and Tuan Tuan, who had rushed over at the news, were also anxiously coming to meet them.

As soon as Li Lan arrived, she touched Tong Ya's neck with concern.

"Daughter-in-law, are you alright?"

Tong Ya tightened her grasp on Chen Yu's arm: "I'm fine, Mother-in-law!"

Chen Yu couldn't help raising an eyebrow; now Tong Ya could call Li Lan "Mother-in-law" without any restraint.

When they reached the store's third floor, Li Lan unwrapped the gauze from Tong Ya's neck and checked the wound.

Only after making sure it was alright did she relax.

The next morning, at dawn, Chen Yu still naturally woke up at three o'clock.

He washed up a bit and was about to quietly go downstairs when suddenly Tong Ya appeared behind him.

"Husband! Good morning!"

Before Chen Yu could respond, Tong Ya had already given him a big hug.

"Wait for me downstairs, I'll wash up and be right there!"

Chen Yu didn't know what to say and just hummed in acknowledgment before hurrying downstairs.

As soon as he had the kitchen tools ready on the first floor, Tong Ya came bouncing over, joyfully donning an apron.

"Hubby! Your gentle and virtuous wife is here to help. Don't you want to kiss me as a reward?"

Chen Yu's face became slightly serious as he put back the skimmer he had just picked up.

"There are some things we really need to clarify!"

The sudden sense of gravity made Tong Ya's heart quiver.

She forced a smile on her face, "What do you want to say?"

Chen Yu let out a breath, organizing his thoughts slightly.

"This shop, including the house on the third floor, I'm currently renting it, and there are five months left until the lease expires!"

"I want to buy the whole place, which would cost about eight million, but right now, my checking account only has one million one hundred eighty thousand."

"Besides, I want to buy a bigger house, preferably a townhouse, or a more affordable detached house, or even a large flat would do."

"That way, I can bring my parents over."

"In this city, for a place roughly three hundred square meters, it would also be around eight million."

"Right now, my average daily net profit is about one hundred fifty thousand!"

While talking, Chen Yu had already approached Tong Ya, his slightly towering figure now enveloping her completely.

"This is my current situation and some of my thoughts, I want to know, can your father accept it?"

Tong Ya's breathing suddenly hastened; at first, she had thought that Chen Yu might want to reset their relationship back to before yesterday.

"I already told you, my father admires you! Even if he can't accept it, I will handle these things."

"Moreover, based on your current profits, it'll only take half a year to achieve all these goals."

...

Before Tong Ya could finish, Chen Yu suddenly interrupted her, "And the child, Tuan Tuan is still young, I don't want him to bear a burden, so we may not want to have children for now."

"No problem!" Tong Ya stepped forward, leaning her entire body into Chen Yu's embrace, "I'll listen to you, and Tuan Tuan can be my child too!"

Chen Yu's body trembled violently.

He suddenly froze, staring straight at Tong Ya in his arms.

Making Tong Ya feel a bit uneasy inside, he suddenly lifted her chin.

"To have such a wife in life, what more could I ask for!"

As his words fell, Chen Yu pulled Tong Ya tightly into his embrace.

Tong Ya's breathing became even more rapid, her heart pounding fiercely.

She had succeeded; now Chen Yu belonged entirely to her.

Later, she could proudly tell others, displaying with perfect legitimacy, that she was the owner of this place.

And once Tuan Tuan woke up, she could also reassure him by having him call her mama.

Just as Chen Yu was about to let go of Tong Ya to prepare the ingredients,

Tong Ya's hands tightened again.

"Don't move, let me hold you a bit longer, I want to make up for all the previous times you didn't respond to me."

Chen Yu chuckled softly, no longer saying much, just wrapping his arms around Tong Ya, letting her sway in his embrace.

They didn't know how much time had passed when Tong Ya finally loosened her grip, lifting her head to look at Chen Yu with affection.

"Chu Hong and the rest will be starting work soon, let's help them get the initial tasks done."

Although these were routine operations for Chen Yu, it was different coming from Tong Ya, now his girlfriend.

In a sense, it was akin to instructions from the lady boss.

At four-thirty in the morning, when Chu Hong and the others came to start work, they found Chen Yu and Tong Ya in the first-floor kitchen, talking and laughing.

Their sweet demeanor left the six young women somewhat stunned.

Just yesterday, Chen Yu was angry when Chu Hong joked around; how had it turned into this situation today?

The six young women tiptoed into the kitchen, just in time to exchange looks with Chen Yu and Tong Ya.

"What are you looking at?" Tong Ya suddenly scolded with a hint of shyness, "Come here, I have something to announce!"

"Starting today, I am the lady boss of this shop, do you know how to address me now?"

The six young ladies paused collectively, looking somewhat dazedly at Chen Yu and Tong Ya.
