Maximize Interest, My Money Grows Infinitely-Chapter 707 - 386: Laying the Foundation

Meng Wanning woke up in Chen Cheng’s arms, and as she looked at his still sleeping face, a blissful smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

Carefully, she withdrew her arm from his embrace and got out of bed quietly. After finishing her morning routine, she picked up Chen Cheng’s clothes and returned to the bedside.

"Sir, wake up, it’s time to get up."

Chen Cheng groggily opened his eyes and, seeing Meng Wanning’s gentle smiling face, felt his sleepiness fade away.

"What time is it?"

"It’s already eight o’clock." Meng Wanning softly said while tidying up his slightly disheveled hair, "Aren’t you going to the signing ceremony today?"

Chen Cheng sat up and rubbed his eyes, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Yes, very well." Meng Wanning replied, "I haven’t slept this soundly in a long time."

She placed the clothes by the bed, "I’ll get your toothpaste, wash water, and razor ready. You can come to the bathroom in a bit."

"Okay."

Chen Cheng looked at her retreating figure, feeling warmth in his heart.

Meng Wanning went to the bathroom, squeezed toothpaste, took out the razor, and carefully adjusted the water temperature to ensure it wasn’t too cold or too hot.

She even thoughtfully prepared a clean towel, folded neatly and placed on the sink.

After finishing everything, she returned to the room, finding that Chen Cheng had already gotten out of bed by himself.

"Sir, take it slow." Seeing Chen Cheng stepping barefoot on the floor, Meng Wanning quickly walked over and placed slippers by his feet, "The floor is cold."

Chen Cheng looked at her slightly reproachful gaze, smiled and said, "It’s okay, I’m not cold."

"The bathroom is all ready, you can go wash up now."

"Alright."

Chen Cheng walked into the bathroom, looked at his somewhat tired face in the mirror, and then glanced at the neatly arranged toiletries, feeling deeply touched.

He knew that Meng Wanning’s gentleness was not only expressed in words but also in all these small actions.

After finishing his morning routine, Chen Cheng returned to the room, where Meng Wanning had already picked out a suit for him.

The dark blue suit highlighted his upright figure, making him appear even more mature and steady.

"Sir, try this one." Meng Wanning handed the suit to him.

Chen Cheng took the suit, changed into it, and turned around in front of Meng Wanning, "How is it?"

"Very handsome! Sir, you look good in anything!"

Hearing Meng Wanning’s words, Chen Cheng pinched her cheek, "With you taking care of me like this, I’m a bit spoiled."

"I’m willing to serve you, and I want to serve you for a lifetime."

Meng Wanning carefully adjusted his collar and cuffs, ensuring every detail was flawless.

"Sir, today is an important day; you must be in high spirits." She said with a smile.

"With you around, I’m spirited every day."

Meng Wanning laughed happily, "It’s getting late; let’s go downstairs. Brother Xiao Hai should be on his way too."

The two of them went downstairs together and headed to the dining room.

Jin Baogen and Cui Xiaoling were already waiting there.

Seeing the two walking hand in hand, Cui Xiaoling joked with a smile, "Look at our Wan Ning, taking such great care of Chen Cheng, truly a virtuous wife!"

Meng Wanning blushed with happiness at her mentor’s compliment.

"Master, please don’t tease me."

The four sat around the dining table, and Jin Baogen said, "Reserve some time for the day before your opening."

Chen Cheng nodded, "Okay, Mr. Jin, will you be coming over earlier?"

"Lao Cao wants to bring a gift for your opening, but you know, he doesn’t like being too showy."

Chen Cheng raised his eyebrows, "Alright, I’ll arrange it."

"Let’s just have Xiao Er there," Jin Baogen said frankly, "No need for anyone else."

Meng Wanning paused for a moment while serving porridge but quickly resumed her usual pace.

She placed the porridge in front of Jin Baogen, then served Cui Xiaoling and Chen Cheng before filling a bowl for herself.

Chen Cheng noticed Meng Wanning’s momentary discomfort and said, "Wan Wan, about Lao Cao..."

Before he could finish, Meng Wanning forced a smile, "I understand, sir."

Jin Baogen took a sip of porridge and said, "Xiao Ning is gentle and sensible, Mr. Chen, you’re truly blessed beyond words."

Chen Cheng held Meng Wanning’s hand, "Mr. Jin is right, my blessing is indeed unparalleled."

Meng Wanning returned his warm smile, but deep down, a hint of bitterness emerged.

She understood her position and also appreciated Chen Cheng’s difficulties. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

She didn’t want to become a burden to Chen Cheng, so even though she felt a bit uncomfortable inside, she chose to silently bear it.

Breakfast continued in a light-hearted atmosphere, with everyone tactfully avoiding sensitive topics and engaging in casual chatter.

After breakfast, Chen Donghai arrived as well.

Chen Cheng and Meng Wanning walked to the car, with Jin Baogen and Cui Xiaoling seeing them off.

Jin Baogen looked at Chen Cheng and Meng Wanning with a pleased smile and said, "Go on, do your best and don’t let everyone down."

He patted Chen Cheng on the shoulder, then turned to Meng Wanning, "Take care of Chen Cheng, and take care of yourself too, Xiao Ning."

Cui Xiaoling held Meng Wanning’s hand and advised, "Xiao Ning, come back often. If anything happens, just call me, okay?"

Meng Wanning nodded, "I understand, Master."

"Go on now, don’t waste time."

The two got into the car, and Meng Wanning lowered the car window, "Mr. Jin, Master, we’re leaving now, you both head back."

Jin Baogen waved his hand, "Take care on the road."

Cui Xiaoling watched the car until it disappeared from view before withdrawing her gaze.

She turned to Jin Baogen and asked, "Lao Jin, what do you think will happen to these two kids in the future?"

Jin Baogen looked into the distance, "Although Chen Cheng seems a bit indifferent, he’s quite reliable at crucial moments. Xiao Ning is also a good girl—gentle, virtuous, and sensible. The two of them together are truly a perfect match."
