Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang had no idea that Jiang Li'er's mentality had become so twisted as to be outrageous.

After walking around outside for a while, the two of them decided to go straight to the hotel.

Of course, this is a paradise for the rich, and everything here is quite expensive.

Take a very ordinary bowl of ramen, for example, it costs 818 yuan.

Hotels are even more expensive, costing 30,000 RMB per night, and that's for a very ordinary place.

As Lu Zheng led Ming Xiang toward the hotel, he muttered to himself, "It's so easy to make money off the rich."

Mingxiang listened to Lu Zheng muttering to himself and couldn't stop laughing: "So you're not rich?"

Lu Zheng coughed and said, "I, Lu Zheng, don't just want to be rich. I want to be the world's richest man! And my wife will become the wife of the world's richest man!"

Mingxiang laughed so hard she could barely breathe: "Stop being silly!"

Lu Zheng scoffed, "See, you don't believe me?"

Mingxiang coughed and said, "No, no, you're the one I trust the most!"

In fact, she wasn't joking; she genuinely believed in Lu Zheng one hundred percent, and she believed that Lu Zheng had such ability.

They arrived at the hotel soon.

Just as they were falling asleep, Xia Linyu also arrived at the hotel.

Although the price for a night's stay here is very high, the service is absolutely top-notch, and every guest's privacy is fully protected.

Even though this is one of the safest cities, hotels like this are surrounded by armed security guards, giving people a great sense of security.

Of course, these security guards are formidable, but they never inspire fear.

Xia Linyu originally wanted to inquire about Lu Zheng's room, but the receptionist refused.

Xia Linyu gave a wry smile. Of course, she didn't intend to do anything bad; she was just trying to find out. But the secrecy here was too good, so she had no choice but to say nothing more.

After booking the room, she got up and went upstairs.

Afterwards, she sent Lu Zheng a text message to tell him that she had arrived as well.

Xia Linyu was looking forward to Lu Zheng's reply, so she would glance at her phone every now and then.

However, after waiting for a while, her phone still didn't ring.

In fact, Lu Zheng was already extremely sleepy at this point.

Flying is the most tiring thing.

Lu Zheng's physical condition is also quite unique. While other people can fall asleep on airplanes, trains, or cars, Lu Zheng simply cannot fall asleep.

Only when he lies on this soft, big bed can he sleep soundly.

As a friend, he would naturally reply if he saw Xia Linyu's text message.

When Xia Linyu saw that Lu Zheng hadn't replied to her messages, her heart ached even more.

She took a deep sniff to calm herself down.

snort!

Not replying to yourself?

It's okay, I don't care if I don't reply!

Although Xia Linyu thought this way, she was still very unwilling in her subconscious. She kept tossing and turning, and finally fell asleep just before morning.

...

The next morning, when Lu Zheng woke up, he saw a text message from Xia Linyu. He glanced at it and said to Ming Xiang, "It's a text message from Miss Xia."

Although Mingxiang didn't crawl over to look at Lu Zheng's phone, she had already guessed the contents of the text message, so she giggled and said, "It must be that Miss Xia arrived yesterday and sent you a message, which you didn't reply to..."

Lu Zheng scratched his head vigorously: "You little rascal, do you have eyes that can see a thousand miles? Or ears that can hear the wind? Or can you see through things?"

"Huh?" Ming Xiang smiled playfully, then proudly raised her chin. "This young lady has all kinds of skills!"

Lu Zheng chuckled at her teasing, "Oh, you have all sorts of skills!"

"Go away!" Mingxiang pinched Lu Zheng's arm. "Don't laugh at me. Hurry up and reply to the message."

Lu Zheng laughed heartily, then composed himself and said, "Okay."

As he spoke, Lu Zheng sent a text message to Xia Linyu, saying that he had fallen asleep and therefore hadn't noticed the message on his phone.

Xia Linyu is a light sleeper; she will wake up instantly at the slightest sound or disturbance.

So she quickly opened her eyes.

She was stunned when she picked up her phone and saw the message from Lu Zheng.

Then she chuckled lightly; apparently she had fallen asleep, which explained why she hadn't replied.

The fact that he replied to me so early in the morning means that Lu Zheng also cares about me!

She had just dreamt of holding hands with Lu Zheng, but then they broke up, which made her very sad.

As the saying goes, dreams are born from the heart. She always felt that the reason she had that dream was because she and Lu Zheng couldn't be together, which made her so sad.

Although Xia Linyu was still yawning and feeling exhausted when she first got up, her mood improved significantly after seeing this message.

Even the drowsiness seemed to vanish without a trace in that instant.

Today, for Lu Zheng's sake, she's going to dress up beautifully.

Thinking of all this, Xia Linyu changed into an extremely beautiful outfit.

After getting out of bed, Xia Linyu stretched leisurely, changed her clothes, threw all her previous clothes into the washing machine, and then knocked on the door of the room Lu Zheng had told her about.

Mingxiang knew it was her knocking, so she playfully turned her head and winked at Lu Zheng.

Looking at Ming Xiang's mischievous appearance, Lu Zheng could only smile wryly. This girl was really wicked.

There will likely be a lot of conflict between her and Xia Linyu.

However, Lu Zheng wasn't actually troubled, because he understood who he had chosen and he would steadfastly uphold his original aspirations.

This is Lu Zheng; he will not change his attitude because of any external temptations.

Jiang Lier's betrayal of him was truly a loss for that woman.

However, it was precisely because of this that he and Mingxiang were able to get to know each other and be together.

He and Jiang Li'er had argued too many times in the past, sometimes over the smallest things.

However, ever since they met Mingxiang, they have never had a single day of heated argument; they have always been happy and cheerful.

Therefore, it's impossible for him to have wronged Mingxiang.

Xia Linyu's efforts were indeed somewhat futile.

However, Xia Linyu did not explicitly tell Lu Zheng that she wanted to pursue him. As a friend, Lu Zheng naturally could not directly break off relations or say anything unpleasant, as that would truly be in Lu Zheng's wrong.

If Jiang Li'er saw two such stunning beauties vying for Lu Zheng, wouldn't she be furious?

How could the trash she discarded become a treasure to someone stronger than her?
