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

Chen Yu brought the six girls to the kitchen and personally demonstrated the automatic filtration system to them.

This system was much more user-friendly than the one on the dining cart, and simpler to operate.

In just a few minutes, it filtered out all the grease and residue from the frying pan.

When the clean oil flowed back, Chen Yu disassembled the removable parts and cleaned them.

After washing and reassembling the parts, the system's notification rang in Chen Yu's mind.

"Congratulations, Host, for perfectly completing a day's business. Today's net profit is fifty-nine thousand eight hundred and forty Yuan, earning fifty-nine thousand eight hundred and forty points, accumulating a total of two hundred and ninety-five thousand seven hundred and eighty points."

Chen Yu couldn't help but feel excited. It wouldn't be long before he could use the high-level draw three times in a row.

Moreover, after buying the vehicle and paying for the raw materials, he still had seventy-three thousand five hundred and twenty Yuan on hand.

Chen Yu immediately transferred seventy thousand Yuan into his current account.

It was also time to start thinking about saving up to buy a house.

Just after depositing the money through mobile banking, the delivery man for the raw materials arrived at the doorstep.

This time, most of the deliverers came in small trucks.

Chen Yu, ordering so much all at once, was already considered a super VIP customer.

All the suppliers delivered a bit extra on top of the original order.

The six girls were quick and helped the deliverers carry the raw materials into the cold storage room.

Chen Yu roughly calculated that one hundred and fifty thousand Yuan worth of raw materials should last eight days based on the dining cart's previous turnover.

But according to the business turnover of the past two days, it might only be enough for five days.

After sending off the delivery man, Chen Yu closed the folding doors and headed to the hotpot restaurant on the next street.

"What would everyone like to eat? Order whatever you want, I'm treating today."

The six girls were a bit shy, and since it was their first gathering, everyone seemed a bit reserved.

Tong Ya gave a light cough, "Then I'll start."

She thoughtfully asked everyone about their dietary restrictions and ordered dishes based on each person's preferences.

And with Tong Ya's adjustments, the atmosphere at the dining table soon became lively.

The six girls gradually opened up, chatting about this and that.

After the meal, their relationship with Chen Yu had grown much closer.

The initial reserve was gone.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the six girls went back to the residential area together.

Chen Yu, carrying Tuan Tuan, accompanied by Tong Ya, returned to the shop.

Tuan Tuan was weary after the day's events and soon fell asleep in Chen Yu's arms.

After carefully settling Tuan Tuan on the third floor, Chen Yu went downstairs, ready to take Tong Ya home.

But just as they reached the doorstep, Tong Ya suddenly stopped, her face flushing to the extreme.

"Can I not go?"

Chen Yu paused for a moment, "It's not very late today, plus, I can drive you home."

This reply was somewhat obtuse, as if deliberately avoiding something.

"What I mean is, not just today, can I live here from now on?"

Chen Yu of course understood what she meant; in fact, ever since Tong Ya had started coming over day and night to help him, he had begun to suspect.

And Tong Ya had always been hinting at him, but all her hints were deftly dodged by him.

"You're a single teacher, staying here doesn't look good. Rumors could spread and it would affect you negatively."

"I don't care!" Tong Ya's breathing quickened, her gaze becoming more determined.

"I like you, I want to be with you!"

Finally, she had said it!

More than once, she had wanted to confess her feelings to Chen Yu, but each time Chen Yu had skillfully avoided her attempts.

```

Chen Yu had a perfect opportunity to see her that day, but it slipped by nonetheless.

She didn't want to wait any longer!

Now that the shop had hired more staff, the business was gradually getting on track.

She feared she would no longer have the excuse of helping out to stay by Chen Yu's side.

Chen Yu froze for a moment; he hadn't expected Tong Ya to declare her affection for him so bluntly.

"Stop joking around."

Chen Yu tried to avoid the issue, but Tong Ya suddenly drew closer, her onyx-like eyes fixating on him.

"I'm serious. Starting from now, can I be your girlfriend?"

"No!" Chen Yu closed his eyes, trying not to meet Tong Ya's gaze.

"Why?" Tong Ya took another step forward, her slightly heated breath brushing Chen Yu's face.

"We're not suitable for each other." Chen Yu stepped back to dodge.

"You and I are both single; what's not suitable about that?" Tong Ya was a bit confrontational.

"It's not about being single or not."

"Then what is it? Do you still want to get back with your ex-wife?"

"No!" Chen Yu suddenly became somewhat distracted: "It has nothing to do with her."

"Then you have someone else you like?" Tong Ya was suddenly worried.

"No!" Chen Yu sighed softly: "The reasons are complex; I can't explain them all to you."

"But it's not complex for me. Just tell me what the problem is; I don't believe there's anything in this world that can't be solved."

Chen Yu, helpless: "You've seen it yourself, I'm a single father."

"So what? Moreover, you've noticed, Tuan Tuan wants me to be her mother."

"But what about your family? What would they think?"

Chen Yu, after all, was nearly thirty and thought things through very rationally.

He admitted that after spending time together, he had indeed developed a fondness for Tong Ya.

And he faintly felt that Tong Ya had become a part of his life.

But marriage is not child's play; there were too many aspects to consider.

Even if Tong Ya was sincere about being with him, there were still her family members to think about.

Who would want their child to marry a divorced man with a kid?

Chen Yu didn't want to cause trouble for anyone; right now, all he wanted to do was focus on making money.

Tong Ya exhaled a turbid breath.

"The day I started college, my mother passed away. But my father didn't care at all, his mind was solely on his business."

At this point, Tong Ya paused.

Actually, that day she wasn't truly suffering from a heatstroke; she had taken pills.

Her mother's death and her father's indifference had left her utterly disappointed with the world.

But unexpectedly, it was Chen Yu who came along and took her to the hospital.

Chen Yu gave her a second chance at life and a reason to keep living.

So, in Tong Ya's heart, Chen Yu was everything.

Tong Ya slightly steadied her emotions: "Two years ago, I ran away from home with Xiao Wei, with no plans to go back, so you don't have to worry about my family at all."

Chen Yu hadn't expected Tong Ya to be so resolute, but he still couldn't get past that hurdle in his heart.

"But my family might not agree."

"I'll try my best to get them to agree!" Tong Ya wouldn't give up: "Whatever they don't like about me, I'll change it, until they do."

Chen Yu suddenly stood there, stunned, silently looking at Tong Ya.
