Fu Huaijin immediately withdrew his strength. He knew he was strong and that if he used too much force, he might really break her waist. So he wrapped his arms around her waist and held her even tighter.

"Don't move, I have something I want to tell you."

Su Yuxi punched his arm repeatedly: "Speak up, then let go of me first."

"No, listen to me first."

Seeing that she really couldn't break free, Su Yuxi let out a sigh of relief and reluctantly gave in. She could only glare at him angrily with her eyes. If looks could kill, she would have torn him to pieces long ago.

"Okay, okay, tell me quickly."

Fu Huaijin's eyelashes trembled as he stared at her impatient face. His lips were slightly pursed, and the words that were originally meant to come out seemed to be stuck in his throat. He wanted to say them but couldn't.

Seeing his constipated look and hesitant expression, Su Yuxi raised her eyebrows slightly, as if telling him to get to the point.

But this guy, who's always pretending to be profound, just has to act all serious.

"Are you going to talk or not? If not, let go of me. I want to go back to sleep." This crazy man doesn't sleep at night and almost killed her when he came to Chenchi.

If you have an episode, go find Chu Juan. Don't go crazy here all day. She shouldn't have meddled. It's her fault.

It seems we need to speed things up by finding a place to move out; I'm on edge all the time.

“Su Yuxi…”

Fu Huaijin's gaze was deep and solemn, his serious expression as if he were about to say something important. After gathering his emotions in his heart, he opened his mouth and said the decision he had been considering for a long time: "I want you to be my girlfriend."

Unlike last time when he said "girlfriend" casually, this time he spoke with great seriousness.

He didn't want anyone to lay a finger on her, didn't want anyone to be unable to touch her, and didn't want her to show that kind of smile to others.

He wanted her to be his possession, and no one else could even dream of having her.

Su Yuxi's expression suddenly froze. She must have gotten water in her ears just now; her head was a little dizzy, and she didn't quite believe what she had just heard.

"What did you say?"

Fu Huaijin ignored her feigned deafness and pulled her into his arms, his lips brushing against her ear twice, his gentle, low voice as soft as a lover's whisper: "Will you be my girlfriend?"

Su Yuxi finally heard clearly this time. Recalling the forceful kiss just now, her chaotic breathing stopped abruptly, and a surge of blood rushed to the top of her head.

Fu Huaijin didn't hear a reply for a long time, so he repeated himself. After waiting for a while, he still didn't hear a response, so he had to let go of her and stare intently into her eyes.

“Xi Xi…” Fu Huaijin lowered his voice softly, a trace of tenderness slowly flowing through the quiet air.

"I..." Su Yuxi opened her lips, but this time she couldn't say a word. It felt like something was choking her, making her unable to refuse or agree. A subtle and complex emotion swirled in her mind, leaving her thoughts in a jumbled mess.

Fu Huaijin's gaze lowered, slowly moving to her still-moist red lips in the darkness. His heart was involuntarily drawn down by her, and he lowered his head to cover those red lips he had longed for once again, successfully taking in the desire in his heart.

This time, he was even more domineering than before. Su Yuxi felt as if her breath had been stolen away. Her mind had gone blank just now, and she was now feeling dizzy. It was as if all the strength in her body had been sucked away by him, making it impossible for her to even sit still.

She could only grab his shoulders with both hands to steady herself.

Just as she was about to suffocate, the man finally released her.

Su Yuxi seemed to have just woken up from a dream, her chest heaving as she breathed in fresh air as if she had been reborn.

With this confession and kiss, she finally realized that Fu Huaijin wasn't joking.

But……

"Why?"

The moment she uttered that question, her reason seemed to return, her eyes instantly cleared, and she looked at him in surprise: "Could it be...?"

"You want me to be your girlfriend so that I can openly be with you, and then you won't even have to pay that ten million salary."

"Is that right?" Only this reason would make the aloof Fu Huaijin, for the first time ever, ask her to be his girlfriend.

As expected, rich men are profit-driven; they always try to maximize their own interests, and the simplest way to do that is to become their girlfriend.

These wicked capitalists are no good.

The tender and romantic atmosphere was shattered by her words. Fu Huaijin was almost amused by her thought process. He took out one hand, tidied a strand of hair on her forehead, and while she was still confused, he gently flicked her forehead: "What are you thinking? You'll get your money back."

"And you'll also get the added bonus of having a girlfriend."

Su Yuxi's eyes lit up, and without thinking, she blurted out, "Will it be the same as Lu Yunzhou's?"

If that's the case, then she's going to become rich!

When Fu Huaijin heard her compare this man to himself, he lowered his eyes slightly and said with some displeasure, "He is him, and I am me. I will not be like him. What I give you will naturally be the best in the world."

"So, should we agree or not?"

Su Yuxi lowered her head and fiddled with her nails, feeling that this program was a bit strange. How did she suddenly become a girlfriend?

His financial strength is undeniable, but his temper is unpredictable.

He couldn't imagine what it would be like if she became his girlfriend.

Moreover, he doesn't look like someone Lu Yunzhou could easily control. If things go wrong, she won't be able to get rid of him easily.

Seeing her hesitant expression, Fu Huaijin had a bad feeling. Before she could speak, he continued to coax her gently: "After you become my girlfriend, I will give you 20 million a month, not including the gifts I give you. If you agree, I will put a gold mine in Mount Lashi under your name. That gold mine produces one ton a year and is worth 500 million. Do you want it?"

Upon hearing this number, Su Yuxi's breathing became erratic, and she unconsciously curled her toes underwater, her voice tinged with disbelief: "Five hundred million?"

With a revenue of 500 million in just one year, wow, that's 5 billion in 10 years.

Add to that all the other miscellaneous things, and she'll be able to go home very soon.

"Um."

Fu Huaijin pressed his advantage, staring at her pained and struggling expression. The gold mine was small and nothing in his eyes, but in Su Yuxi's eyes, it was a windfall.

He already knew the foreign man in the photo; he was just an illegitimate son of a foreign tycoon, whose wealth was less than a fraction of his own, and he was not worthy of being his opponent.

He just didn't want Su Yuxi's gaze to fall on other men, and he didn't want her to be so happy that she lost her mind just because someone gave her two gifts.

She just wanted to give him money.

"If you have any other concerns, you can tell me."
