Gu Liji injured his leg. He was motivated to come to work because of love, but now that his relationship is over and his leg is broken, he has even more excuses to stay at home every day.

Of course, going out to play is not a problem for them. For people like them, having fun is easy. They can play in hundreds of ways, even while lying down, let alone sitting.

The main reason he didn't go out was that he didn't want his group of cronies to ask him how he broke his bone. It would be too embarrassing if they found out he broke his bone after falling into a mud pit.

So he simply stayed at home.

To prevent them from finding out, he had the car destroyed.

So every time Cheng Qicai delivered documents, she went to his house.

But every time she went there, Gu Liji's eyes would look very strange.

When she looked up at him, he looked away again.

That day, when she went to deliver some documents, Gu Liji suddenly asked her, "How are things between your sister and Lu Qi?"

"I don't know, Brother Gu, you wouldn't..." She looked at Lu Qi warily when she heard him asking about Lu Qi and Yun Su Ni again.

Are you planning to get involved again?

But now that he's broken one leg, isn't he afraid that if he tries to insert it again, the other one will also break?

“No,” Gu Liji was enraged by her suspicious look. “What kind of look is that?!”

Cheng Qicai shook her head, but her eyes clearly showed what she wanted to say.

Gu Liji glanced at her and sighed, "I know I have no chance. Su Ni is a very determined person. She said that we can only be friends, so our relationship can only stop at being friends..."

As he spoke, he smiled, a bitter and self-deprecating smile.

He murmured listlessly, his eyes vacant, "Perhaps all her hesitation was directed at Lu Qi."

Hmm, that's quite a poetic way to put it!

Seeing Cheng Qicai's amused expression, he was immediately pulled out of his sadness and perked up.

Cheng Qicai almost changed the subject.

He'd been pondering his brother's words from that day for the past few days. Although his last sentence sounded like he and Cheng Qicai couldn't be together, he hadn't actually answered whether he liked him or not.

Although his brother always spoke in a way that was hard to understand, his intuition told him that something was wrong.

It would be wrong to avoid this topic altogether.

Moreover, many of his previous actions demonstrate that his feelings for Cheng Qicai are extraordinary.

There should be some feeling involved, but the degree of liking remains to be seen.

Gu Liji clicked his tongue inwardly, wondering why he liked Cheng Qicai so much...

He looked Cheng Qicai up and down, left and right, front and back. If there were X-ray equipment here, Gu Liji would probably give Cheng Qicai one.

He mentally assessed her: not as pretty as Su Ni, but still alright; her personality was alright too, and her abilities, after more than half a year, were also alright...

But his compatibility with his brother is zero! Okay?

here we go again!

Cheng Qicai was speechless at Gu Liji's scrutinizing gaze. She deliberately said, "Brother Gu, if you keep staring at me like that, I'm starting to suspect that you like me."

Gu Liji was stunned, then a look of disgust crossed his face. "What nonsense are you talking about? Who likes you!"

Cheng Qicai smiled and said, "Just kidding, haven't you been keeping an eye on me lately?"

Gu Liji stammered for a moment, then adopted the air of a boss, "That was... my consideration for you as your boss."

“Oh,” Cheng Qicai gave a formulaic smile, then stood up. “Then, Mr. Gu, I’ll head back to the company to work.”

Gu Liji hurriedly called out to her, "Hey, don't go yet, you haven't answered my question."

"What problem?" Her sister and Lu Qi? She already told him she didn't know.

"What's your opinion on Lu Qi and Su Ni's relationship, since Lu Qi's parents don't approve?"

Cheng Qicai asked, confused, "What does this have to do with me?"

How else could she look? Sitting, standing, or lying down.

"Let's just chat," Gu Liji asked him curiously. "If your boyfriend were a rich man like Lu Qi, and his parents absolutely refused to let you be together, what would you do?"

"That's impossible," Cheng Qicai frowned. She couldn't imagine any rich person liking her.

"Just imagine it, put yourself in that situation," Gu Liji said patiently.

Hearing Gu Liji say this, Cheng Qicai put herself in his shoes. She had thought about this before when she read novels, so the question was actually quite easy to answer.

"It depends on how much his parents give me. If it's a lot, I'll split it."

Gu Liji was surprised by how naturally she said it, "...How much money would it take to sway you?"

"It'll be at least three to five million, right?" That seems to be the typical price quoted by the male protagonist's mother in novels?

Gu Liji was dissatisfied. "You're going to compromise on this? I've spent more money on a watch than this."

Are you here to show off your wealth? What? That's all?

Even if I worked like a slave for you my whole life, and didn't eat or drink, I still couldn't save this much, okay?

If you're so capable, why don't you give me a raise?

But thinking about it, three to five million really doesn't seem like much to wealthy people like them. She raised the question further, "What about thirty million?"

Gu Liji was even more displeased when he heard this. His brother was worth 30 million in her eyes? And that was the price he had helped raise.

Seeing Gu Liji's face darken again, Cheng Qicai called out again, "Three hundred million?"

Looking at Cheng Qicai's increasingly excited face, he suddenly realized that Cheng Qicai wasn't even struggling; she just wanted the money!

He gritted his teeth and asked, "Don't you even know how to hold on to your relationship?"
