The Goddess Brings a Child to My Door, Awakening the Dad System! Chapter 142: This is a birthday present?
Xu ngyao finished washing up, and the two of them ate breakfast.
"ngyao, I want to tell you sothing. I've made so money."
Lin Chen smiled.
He discovered that the money from the copyright sale had arrived that morning.
Thirty million US dollars, at the current exchange rate, was over 210 million RMB, all deposited into his card.
—This money was before taxes.
"What money did you make?"
Xu ngyao asked curiously.
"I'm working with the Dawson Family. They got the overseas print rights, and it's ten million US dollars per book. Either side can terminate the agreent at any ti."
"The three books already published have made thirty million dollars."
Xu ngyao looked at Lin Chen, surprised.
It wasn't much compared to what her family had, but thirty million dollars was still a huge sum.
And each subsequent book would be another ten million.
If Lin Chen could release a book every month, the money he'd make each month would be close to a small fortune.
"Congratulations, hubby."
"So, are you still running your private kitchen?"
Xu ngyao asked.
Opening a private kitchen, if you book a table every week and earn a million, you'd make four million in a month.
That's not bad.
But it's less than a tenth of what Lin Chen makes from writing fairy tales.
"Open it, then."
Lin Chen nodded. "Writing fairy tales, while it makes money, doesn't really build connections."
Xu ngyao said, "If you release them, you'll have a lot of fans. Having more fans could give you considerable influence."
Lin Chen shook his head. "That's a bit passive. If sothing happens, inciting the fans could backfire."
"Besides, fairy tales are pure and beautiful, and I don't want this identity to be tainted by worldly things."
Xu ngyao: "Lin Chen, your birthday is in a little over ten days, right?"
"We'll go sowhere later."
After eating, Xu ngyao drove her Cullinan.
Twenty minutes later, she brought Lin Chen to a quaint courtyard. Surprise flashed in Lin Chen's eyes; there was actually such a courtyard in the bustling city.
"ngyao, this is——"
Xu ngyao smiled slightly: "Didn't you want to open a private kitchen? I had soone find this courtyard and bought it."
"It's your birthday present."
Lin Chen looked at Xu ngyao in surprise. "This is my birthday present? This courtyard isn't cheap, is it?"
Xu ngyao said, "It's not very big, so it didn't cost much, only about fifty million. It's not the company's money, it's my own."
Lin Chen looked at Xu ngyao.
"ngyao, why did you think of giving this? I was originally thinking of renting a decent place and renovating it."
Xu ngyao's beautiful eyes also looked at Lin Chen. "Honey, did it hurt you when I took you to notarize the property before? I just wanted to make up for it a little."
Lin Chen stepped forward and gently hugged Xu ngyao.
"It didn't hurt at all."
"Isn't this the usual procedure for rich people getting married?"
"We had no feelings back then. I tricked you into getting the marriage certificate, and I was surprised you agreed."
Lin Chen said with a chuckle.
Xu ngyao said haughtily, "I wasn't tricked by you. I just wanted to be as good as possible to Qianqian."
Lin Chen gazed into Xu ngyao's eyes.
Xu ngyao blushed under Lin Chen's gaze.
Her heart was also pounding.
Was Lin Chen going to kiss her?
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
Xu ngyao's body began to tremble slightly after they embraced for over half a minute, and she seed to be in much better shape than before.
Lin Chen released Xu ngyao after another dozen seconds of hugging.
"Phew."
Xu ngyao exhaled deeply.
"ngyao, you can breathe now." Xu ngyao rolled her beautiful eyes at Lin Chen. "Do you think I don't know that? I just can't control it. But I feel much better than before."
Lin Chen nodded. "You are indeed much better. If we hug every day, I think you'll recover even faster."
"Hmph."
"Go ahead and look around here."
Xu ngyao showed Lin Chen around. The courtyard wasn't large, but it was more than enough to accommodate a table of people.
"I've hired soone to design it."
"It should be renovated in about a week. We won't touch other areas, just the kitchen. You can tell if you have any specific requirents," Xu ngyao said.
Lin Chen thought for a mont and said, "I need a high-power stove. Two burners aren't enough; I need at least four."
"I don't have any other requirents."
Xu ngyao nodded.
"Honey, when are you planning to start? If it's ready after the renovation, you might need to open up for reservations."
Lin Chen nodded slightly.
Jiang Xuesong and his group had made reservations, but Lin Chen told them to move their slot back a bit.
It wasn't that he didn't value them.
It's just that if they were the first to eat here, others might easily figure out that he was Lin Yu.
"Should I have my dad introduce so clients to you?"
Xu ngyao asked.
Lin Chen shook his head, "No need for introductions. What's the point of overlapping your dad's connections with mine? I'm not opening this place to make money, but for connections."
"That's true."
"What do we do then?"
Xu ngyao frowned slightly.
Lin Chen smiled. "Don't worry about it. Although I want to expand my network, I don't need to do it urgently. My private chef service needs to have so class."
"Mhm."
Xu ngyao nodded gently.
Lin Chen asked, "ngyao, although your family has money, you probably don't have too much on your personal bank card, right?"
"Did you run out of money to buy this courtyard for ?"
Xu ngyao replied, "I still have money."
"It's definitely enough for ."
Lin Chen smiled, "Tell if it's not enough. I'm your husband; it's only right that you spend my money."
Xu ngyao blushed slightly and nodded.
"Beep, beep!"
Lin Chen's phone rang.
Yang Qingyue was calling via video.
Lin Chen answered, and Qianqian's little voice piped up, "Daddy, where are you and Mommy? Have you forgotten your little treasure?"
Xu ngyao burst out laughing.
Lin Chen said with a smile, "Who's our little treasure?"
Lin Xiaoxi pointed at herself with her little finger. "It's ! Daddy, I'm your little treasure."
"Daddy, co quickly! The big bad wolf is coming!"
Xu ngyao comforted her, "Qianqian, what big bad wolf? There won't be any big bad wolves at Grandma's house."
Lin Xiaoxi said, "Mom, Uncle Zhao is coming. He's a bad guy, he's the big bad wolf. I don't like him."
Xu ngyao frowned.
The Uncle Zhao Lin Xiaoxi ntioned was Zhao Tianyou.
If he went, his father would definitely go too.
"Qianqian, Mom and Dad are coming right over."
Lin Chen said.
After hanging up the video call, Lin Chen and Xu ngyao quickly set off.
Xu ngyao had been driving, but now Lin Chen was at the wheel. His driving skills were much better than hers.
"Honey, do you think Zhao Tianyou still hasn't given up?"
Xu ngyao frowned slightly.
Lin Chen nodded. "It's possible. But it's also possible they're just going to pay a visit."
"Let's go see what's going on."
Xu ngyao snorted, "He's dreaming."
