Chapter 171 Generous Girlfriend VS Impoverished Boyfriend 27 (Bonus Chapter)

night.

Jiang Zhiyi was held in Gu Xingyuan's arms.

“You weren’t like this before, you’ve gone astray!” she complained.

"Where did I go astray?" he asked, nuzzling her face.

Jiang Zhiyi remained silent.

She used to always corner him and kiss him.

When they first got together, Gu Xingyuan was very distant from her, and the two were not very familiar with each other at all.

Every evening, she would be in the library while Gu Xingyuan was in the adjacent laboratory building. She would ask Gu Xingyuan to pick her up and take her back to her dormitory.

Gu Xingyuan was very naive; he was even embarrassed to hold hands, so she insisted on doing so.

She took him to a dark corner, stood on tiptoe to kiss him, but he refused.

After several attempts, Jiang Zhiyi lost her patience and snapped at him, "If you don't let me kiss you, I'll kiss someone else! You're so annoying!"

"Okay." He gave her a light peck on the cheek, then quickly moved away, his voice trembling.

Look at him now, he always seems to want to bite her tongue off.

Too brutal! Too cruel!

"A good cabbage has been eaten by a pig," she sighed.

Gu Xingyuan agreed, saying, "That's right, I'm the cabbage, and you're the little pig."

"I'm not done with you today!" Jiang Zhiyi climbed on top of him and started to lecture him.

"Alright, alright, you're a cabbage, you're a cabbage." He was forced to compromise.

“I’ll tell you a secret,” she said.

"What secret?" Gu Xingyuan asked.

“I went home to celebrate my dad’s birthday before. He had a few drinks and saw the tie I gave him. He was in a good mood and told me that I was actually a rich second generation.”

"A rich second generation?" Gu Xingyuan's hands started to wander again, pinching her soft flesh.

"My dad said he has a few bottles and jars that he collected by chance... They're worth half a city!"

Gu Xingyuan: "Really? Could he have been scammed? Is someone setting a trap to steal his money?"

Jiang Zhiyi: "I'm not too sure either, but he gave me the key to the safe. Let's go home and check it out sometime. If it's true, then I'll be a little rich girl."

...

That day, Jiang Zhiyi took Gu Xingyuan to visit Jiang Zhenren, and the two stayed overnight.

"Are you sure Dad is asleep?" Jiang Zhiyi asked.

"She's asleep," Gu Xingyuan replied.

The two men crept into the study and found the safe. They examined the contents for a long time, but unfortunately, they couldn't understand them at all.

Jiang Zhiyi simply connected with a public welfare treasure appraisal blogger on a certain software platform. That blogger would livestream treasure appraisal for others every night.

After waiting for a long time, it was finally their turn.

Gu Xingyuan had Jiang Zhiyi stand aside to avoid her being seen on camera, while he held the items and asked questions himself.

The blogger is very good at creating entertaining moments during interactions. He looks unhappy when he connects with older men or younger men, but his expression changes instantly when he connects with women, and he becomes all smiles.

The blogger asked, "Is your sister-in-law nearby?"

Jiang Zhiyi hesitated for a moment: "...Yes."

The blogger chuckled a few times and asked, "Sister-in-law, where did you get all these things from?"

Gu Xingyuan didn't want to say anything more and replied, "...I bought it, and we'd like to ask you to help us check if it's genuine."

Blogger: "Oh, I see... Then sister-in-law, go and fetch a basin of water, a lot of it."

After a while, the blogger asked again, "Has your sister-in-law gone out?"

Gu Xingyuan hummed in agreement.

"Brother, to be honest, all this stuff you bought is junk, it's toys... Don't let your wife know, I'll help you put it more tactfully later."

The live stream chat was instantly filled with laughter from the viewers.

...

After the video call ended, the two returned to their bedroom.

Jiang Zhiyi said with a look of disappointment, "It seems my dad really was deceived."

"My money is your money too. Whatever you like, I'll buy it for you." Gu Xingyuan gently stroked her hair.

"But I feel bad about taking your money to go out and have a good time," she said earnestly.

Gu Xingyuan sensed something was wrong.

Living a life of debauchery?

"I was even thinking that I'd find a few young and handsome guys..."

She continued talking, completely unaware that danger was quietly approaching.

"What are you looking for?" he asked.

"I'm looking for a handsome young man." She wasn't afraid of him at all.

The lights were turned off, and the surroundings were instantly plunged into darkness.

"Let's talk about it when you can get out of this room." Gu Xingyuan pulled her completely under the covers.

The two started arguing.

After a long while, Jiang Zhiyi leaned against his chest, already dozing off.

"Do you still keep accounts?" she asked.

"What's wrong?"

"What if one day you're doing some accounting and suddenly decide you want to sell me...? How much do you think I'm worth?"

Gu Xingyuan was well aware of her tactics; no matter how high the price he quoted, she would scold him.

He gave a very standard answer: "I won't sell it, I can't bear to sell it."

Jiang Zhiyi: "Hmph, sweet talk!"

Gu Xingyuan: "...Really, how could I bear to sell you? This is a priceless treasure, and buying and selling is prohibited."

He then asked, "How much do you think I'm worth?"

Jiang Zhiyi touched his face; the ring on her hand felt icy cold.

"One hundred thousand? One million?" he asked.

She shook her head.

"Ten million...one hundred million..." He gave several more answers.

She kept shaking her head.

"Am I really that worthless?" he said dejectedly.

It might only be worth 10,000 yuan...

Seeing his pitiful look, Jiang Zhi laughed out loud: "I can't bear to sell it either."
