Chapter 15: The Man Begins to Change

  Wealth and beauty beyond measure

  "Sister Wang, you keep the money, this is what you've earned!" Zhang Yang said, looking at Wang Yue's sweet smile, Zhang Yang suddenly felt a kind of happy feeling.

  Wang Yue shook her head and said: "What can I take? These were all bought by you, and is there a difference between me putting them away and you putting them away?"

  Zhang Yang smiled foolishly and said: "No, no, are we a couple?"

  Wang Yue hummed and said: "Don't think that just because others say so, we are, I haven't agreed to your request yet."

  Zhang Yang's face changed and he said: "We were like that last night!"

  Wang Yue said with embarrassment: "You want to die? Saying this on the street!"

  Zhang Yang chuckled and also had a clever idea.

  "Consider yourself on probation, and if I find out you're up to no good, you're gone!" Wang Yue said.

  Zhang Yang excitedly hummed in agreement. Seeing Zhang Yang's excited expression, Wang Yue muttered: "Silly kid!"

  "Wang Jie, we won the lottery, let's go buy you a few nice clothes." Zhang Yang said.

  "What's wrong with this dress of mine? Isn't it pretty?"

  Zhang Yang said with embarrassment: "You are showing too much."

  Yesterday, when he saw Wang Yue dressed like that, he thought she was sexy and beautiful. But after they confirmed their relationship, he suddenly felt that Wang Yue's clothes were a bit too revealing. Although there were many girls on the street wearing similar outfits, he just couldn't shake off the feeling of discomfort in his heart. Especially when other men looked at her with that kind of gaze, it made him even more uncomfortable.

  Zhang Yang didn't know this was called possessiveness, but actually every man is like this. They can't stand it if other girls wear revealing clothes, but when it comes to their own girlfriends, they want them to be covered up tightly.

  Wang Yue glanced at Zhang Yang and said: "Little kid, still quite conservative. Alright, I'll listen to you."

  Zhang Yang laughed happily and pulled Wang Yue into the women's clothing store. After a while, Wang Yue came out with a cape draped over her shoulders, arm in arm with Liu Jian.

  "Silly kid, where are we going next?" asked Wang Yue.

  "I don't know either!"

  Wang Yue suddenly pulled Zhang Yang's hand down and said: "Don't always scratch your head, it looks too silly."

  Zhang Yang smiled awkwardly: "I'm used to it."

  Wang Yuedao said: "Even if you're used to it, change it for me. I don't want my boyfriend to look like a silly kid!"

  Zhang Yang's habitual nature made him scratch his head again, and Wang Yue glared at him. He hastily put it down and said, "I'll change, I'll change!"

  Wang Yue burst out laughing: "I can't take you! Da Yang, you're now in a big city, this is a metropolis, not the small town where you used to live. If you want to make a foothold here, you have to adapt to this city and gradually become a city person. Otherwise, you'll be rejected and never integrate into this city, do you understand?"

  "Alright, I understand. Sister Wang, I'll listen to you."

  Wang Yue smiled and leaned her head on Zhang Yang's arm, saying: "We all need to adapt to this city. Da Yang, we both came from small places, Wang Jie knows you're not used to it for the time being, but there's no way around it, we can't change this city, so let's just try our best to adapt to it."

  Zhang Yang didn't understand why Wang Yue suddenly became so sentimental.

  He didn't know how much a woman from the countryside had to pay to stay in this city. After all, it's a patriarchal society, and for women to stand out, apart from having good personal conditions, the most important thing is to find a reliable man to rely on.

  Wang Yue found such a man, but unfortunately this man only treated her as an ordinary plaything and kicked her away after playing with her enough. Zhang Yang, that silly boy, became her lifesaver, and looking at the similarly innocent Zhang Yang, she thought of herself back then and unconsciously wanted to help him, letting him mature early.

  Fortunately, Wang Yue's mood came quickly and left quickly. Soon, Wang Yue said: "Let's go, Sister Wang will take you to have Western food, you little guy still have a lot to learn."

  Two people took a taxi to the entrance of a Western restaurant, saw rows and rows of cars at the door, as well as the neat storefront. Zhang Yang, feeling a bit guilty, stood still and said: "Wang Jie, let's go somewhere else to eat. I'm a bit nervous!"

  Wang Yue glared and said, "What's there to be nervous about? Just treat this place like an ordinary restaurant. Da Yang, remember, as long as you have money, you're the boss. A well-decorated restaurant, a high-end location, as long as we have money, we can go in. Just treat this place like an ordinary restaurant."

  "But I've never been to an ordinary restaurant either, I've only been to hot pot restaurants and big canteens."

  Wang Yue was speechless, how did she end up with such a scumbag of a man.

  "You don't tell me, usually you cook and eat by yourself." Wang Yue said disbelievingly.

  Zhang Yang stretched out his hand, seemingly without any intention, and then wanted to scratch his head. Wang Yue's eyes glared at his hand, and Zhang Yang hastily put it down, saying: "I won't scratch, I won't scratch." Then he said: "I don't know how to cook, the places I go to most are just street stalls and Lanzhou noodle shops."

  Wang Yue was somewhat stunned. Earlier, when she learned that Zhang Yang had won a prize of 400,000 yuan, she thought he would splurge on it. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang still ate at a roadside stall despite having so much money. In fact, this was also because Zhang Yang had just received the unexpected wealth and hadn't accepted the reality yet.

  Actually, Zhang Yang has already made some changes, just like this time renting a house, in the past, he wouldn't have dared to think about it. And buying clothes, if there weren't so many gold bars in the bank, Zhang Yang wouldn't have bought them either. But these are all very small changes, and Zhang Yang hasn't adapted to his transformation from a loser to a rich and handsome guy.

  Going to a Western restaurant is something that Zhang Yang finds hard to accept. He truly feels some fear, terror and inferiority complex.

  Wang Yue also saw it, and advised: "Dayang, you are now a rich man. Your bank card has tens of millions of deposits, which is not much for the wealthy, but for ordinary people, this is already a considerable amount. You have nothing to be afraid of, come on, let's go in."

  "Wang Jie, I'm a bit scared. How about we change to another restaurant? I've never had Western food before and don't know how to eat it!" Zhang Yang said.

  Wang Yue smiled and said: "It's precisely because I haven't eaten it before that I want to eat it. I'll teach you."

  After finishing speaking, she couldn't help but hold Zhang Yang's arm and walk into the Western restaurant. The two of them were dressed up brightly, especially after Zhang Yang changed his clothes, he didn't look like a working-class person at all.

  People are clothes, horses are saddles. So the two of them walked in with a big swing, amidst the smiling faces of the service staff. There were not many people in the restaurant, but it was not as noisy as those restaurants Zhang Yang had been to before. The pleasant sound of the piano flowed through the hall.

  Originally somewhat nervous Zhang Yang, after sitting down, slowly calmed down, he found that no one noticed them, everyone was talking in a low voice.

  Zhang Yang said somewhat uncomfortably: "Wang Jie, why is it so quiet here?"

  "The Western restaurant is like this, you'll get used to it slowly."

  Knowing that Zhang Yang had never had Western food, Wang Yue didn't ask him and directly ordered a bottle of red wine and two steaks.

  "Cheers, have some red wine." Wang Yue said with a smile.

  Zhang Yang's face changed and he hastily said: "I won't drink anymore!"

  "What's wrong?" Wang Yue poured a cup for Zhang Yang without giving him a chance to refuse.

  Seeing Zhang Yang's nervous look, Wang Yue couldn't help but think of the first time she went to a Western restaurant, also feeling at a loss. The man had taught her hand in hand how to drink red wine and eat steak. Who would have thought that after just a few short years, the man across from her had changed, and now it was her turn to teach someone else? The changes in this world were really too fast.

  Facing the steak on his plate, Zhang Yang didn't know how to start and looked at Wang Yue for help.

  Wang Yue smiled with a pout: "Take a good look at me, how I'm going to cut it."

  After finishing, he used his knife and fork to cut the steak in front of him into small pieces. After cutting them all up, he picked up the plate and put it in front of Zhang Yang, then took the plate that was originally in front of Zhang Yang and brought it over.

  "Pulling out the chair, this should be done by a gentleman for a lady, it's a courtesy and a way of showing care. I know you won't do it, so today we're just here to enjoy our Western meal, when we get home, you'd better learn how to do it properly." Wang Yue said.

  Zhang Yang lowered his head and ate his steak, without even raising his head, saying: "What's the point of me learning this, Sister Wang can do it anyway."

  Wang Yue shook her head and said in a low voice: "I can't stay with you forever!"

  Zhang Yang didn't hear clearly and asked: "Wang sister, what did you say?"

  "I said you're a man, how can you always let women cut steak for you, you must learn." Wang Yue said.

  "Alright, I know."

  Zhang Yang looks like a tall and capable person, but in fact he is just an ordinary person who has just left his parents' life. He is not very familiar with this society. At home, he has always been carefully taken care of by his parents, so he is still a child. And this habit of liking to be taken care of unconsciously shifted to Wang Yue's body.

  Wang Yue was his first woman, and also a woman who understood many things. Women all have maternal instincts, so Zhang Yang's behavior is a very natural thing.

  Watching Zhang Yang happily eating steak, Wang Yue revealed a happy smile. When was it that she was also so simple? Zhang Yang's good mood disappeared completely when the bill came.

  The waiter said: "That's a total of 860 yuan!"

  Zhang Yang's face turned green, having eaten so little food, yet it actually cost over 800 yuan.

  Out of the Western restaurant, Zhang Yang still had some unacceptable words: "It's too dark, how can it be so expensive! Sister Wang, are we being cheated?"

  Wang Yue shook her head and said, "What are you talking about? Don't lose face here."

  On the way back, Zhang Yang was still a bit down, although the red wine was good to drink and the steak was delicious. However, Zhang Yang still couldn't accept such consumption, putting it in the past, he wouldn't have used this much money in a month. Even though he had money now, it was still an astronomical figure, but Zhang Yang still didn't have the awareness of being a rich person.

  If Wang Yue wasn't around, if there wasn't a woman like her in reality, Zhang Yang would soon enter a period of confusion. He wouldn't adapt to this change and might become a playboy or turn into a nouveau riche, maybe he would become reckless without restraint, and then people would discover his secret, finally falling into danger.

  But all this changed with the appearance of a realistic and powerful woman who was once the mistress of a big shot. It was because of this woman that Zhang Yang received the most important information at the crossroads of his life, and it was also because of this woman that the originally simple and kind boy transformed into a man. During this transformation, he inevitably received Wang Yue's influence and became more realistic.
