Infinite Wealth

Chapter 9: I'm the Man You Can Never Have



"Are you really leaving?" Li Chuchu asked, "Zhang Yan, are you really ending things with me just because of money?" 

"Can you reconsider? Even if I was wrong before, I swear that there's nothing between Li Minghui and me. Please believe me..." 

Zhang Yan didn't even look at Li Chuchu and dragged his suitcase toward the door. "Maybe nothing has happened between you two yet, but the moment you lent him my money, it was inevitable that something would." 

"Enough, Li Chuchu. I don't want to see you again. Move aside." 

Zhang Yan saw the situation clearly. 

The moment Li Chuchu lent the money, her real thoughts were already obvious, even if she herself didn't realize it. 

It was easy to imagine—if Zhang Yan married her, all it would take was one call from Li Minghui, and she would rush to see him. 

A woman like that wasn't worth keeping. 

Li Chuchu sobbed uncontrollably, blocking the door. "No! I won't move! Please, Zhang Yan, don't go..." 

"Move!" Zhang Yan wasn't falling for it. He frowned and tried to push past her. 

But Li Chuchu was stubborn and refused to let him leave. 

As they struggled, Zhang Yan's marriage certificate fell from his pocket with a "snap." 

At that moment, the system's voice sounded again. 

"Ding—Marriage certificate seen by ex-girlfriend Li Chuchu. God-Level Choice System triggered: 

1. Directly tell Li Chuchu, 'This is my marriage certificate. I'm the man you can never have.' (Reward: One-month stay in the Aegean Sea Presidential Suite at Haicheng's five-star hotel.) 

2. Pick up the marriage certificate and act like nothing happened. (Reward: A bottle of Shenbao health supplements.)" 

Zhang Yan saw the options and thought, perfect—he had planned to find a hotel anyway. 

Now, he didn't have to. 

As for the Shenbao supplements... not necessary for now. Hopefully, when things with Shen Qing progress, the system will provide something useful. 

"What is this?" Li Chuchu was stunned. 

Zhang Yan carefully picked up the marriage certificate and said coldly, "This is my marriage certificate. I registered with Shen Qing this afternoon. We are legally married now." 

"So stop pestering me. There's no future for us." 

With that, Zhang Yan put the certificate away, grabbed his suitcase, and walked past the shocked Li Chuchu without looking back. 

Li Chuchu stood frozen, as if struck by lightning. Even after Zhang Yan was gone, she couldn't process what had just happened. 

Zhang Yan... was already married!? 

A flood of emotions surged in her heart—regret, despair, frustration. 

If she had another chance, she would never have left Zhang Yan for Li Minghui, because she now realized Zhang Yan had always treated her much better. 

She had been too greedy, trying to keep both men at the same time. 

Now, Zhang Yan had become the man she could never have again. 

"Ahhh!" Li Chuchu grabbed her hair in frustration. All her emotions erupted as she cried and yelled, "Even if you married that vixen, so what, Zhang Yan?" 

"We're broken up, but I'll prove I can live better than you!" 

… 

By this time, Zhang Yan was already downstairs, oblivious to Li Chuchu's outburst. 

He hailed a taxi and headed straight to the Aegean Sea Hotel. 

The Aegean Sea Hotel was the most luxurious five-star hotel in Haicheng. It was said that even the cheapest room cost over 1,800 yuan per night. 

As for the presidential suite, the price was astronomical. 

There were only five presidential suites in the entire hotel, each facing Haicheng's coastal bay with breathtaking ocean views. 

A single night in one of these suites cost over 50,000 yuan, and they were usually fully booked. 

At the front desk, Zhang Yan gave his name. As expected, the records showed that he had booked a one-month stay in the presidential suite days ago, with the payment already settled. 

Spending a month in the presidential suite—even with a platinum membership discount—would cost around 1.5 million yuan, enough to buy a decent three-bedroom apartment in Haicheng. 

Despite Zhang Yan's ordinary attire, the hotel staff treated him with the utmost respect. A bellboy carefully carried his luggage, bowing all the way to the suite. 

Stepping inside, Zhang Yan finally understood what true luxury was. 

The suite featured a massive floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the entire bay. 

Spanning over 180 square meters, the suite included a living room, study, bedroom, guest room, high-end eco-friendly kitchen, private dining room, and two bathrooms. 

The furniture was all imported high-end brands, the floors covered in pure wool carpets, and the bedsheets were from an internationally renowned luxury brand. 

The bathroom was equipped with a massage bathtub, bidet, and 18K gold-plated faucets... 

Compared to this, his old rental apartment was utterly insignificant.
