Chapter 23 The Playboy's Oblivion

Wow! What a feast for the eyes! Jiangcheng's number one handsome man, Chen Wang, has actually come!

[It's actually playboy Chen Wang! Tsk tsk tsk, I really want to know what he wanted to calculate today. It certainly wasn't about marriage, was it?]

[Yes, how could a man like him, who flits between countless women without ever getting attached, possibly be considered a potential partner?]

[...]

As Chen Wang watched with satisfaction as over 100,000 people flooded the live stream with comments, he felt a tiny bit of vanity.

"Is this handsome guy calling to have his marriage fortune told, or to inquire about his future?" Gu Yunxi cleared her throat and looked at the camera.

Even though it was through the camera lens, it was the first time Shen Wang had been looked at by such a pure and beautiful woman, and he was a little embarrassed.

"May I ask about my marriage prospects?"

When he said those words, not only did the live stream chat explode, but even He Sihan, who was sitting next to him, was taken aback.

What is that?

Is he destined for marriage?

Even if he had it, he couldn't possibly have it. He's a womanizer; aren't those women just after his money?

He wanted to see what this daughter of the Gu family could figure out.

"certainly!"

Gu Yunxi looked closely at his face. "Your eyes are bluish. Long-term sleep deprivation and a chaotic private life have led to kidney deficiency. Not only that, you are also physically weak."

"Stop...stop!" Shen Wang stammered anxiously. "I asked you to calculate my marriage, not my private life."

[So what the master said was true? He really is a playboy! I thought what I read online was fake, but it turns out it was all true! My heart is broken!]

"Your eyebrows are thick at the front and thin at the back, and there's a black mole at the end of your eyebrow. Sure enough, you have a lot of bad romantic encounters, but none of them are sincere towards you. Aren't they just after your money, Young Master Shen?"

As for marriage, I didn't expect you to be so lucky. Although your love life has been bumpy, you've actually met someone who is genuinely good to you. As for who that person is...

You must seek it on higher ground.

Shen Wang listened to her words in disbelief. Yes, everything was correct.

How can this woman be so formidable? And so sharp-tongued? "You just need to look to higher places"—that phrase sounds so familiar.

Where did he hear that before? Oh right, I remember now, "Beautiful anchor, you're not kidding me, are you? I'm not the White Snake Lady, looking for Xu Xian on higher ground."

"You know what, it's kind of interesting. You'll be able to see her in thirteen days."

[Wow, the timing is so precise, can the streamer predict the lottery? A poor guy's prayer.]

[Thirteen days, which is only two weeks, will tell whether it's truly verified or not.]

"Thirteen days?" Shen Wang revealed a teasing smile. "If you won't agree, then you'll be my girlfriend."

After speaking, she glanced to her side unintentionally and saw that He Sihan had no expression, which made her feel bored.

"Let me be your girlfriend? I'm afraid you're not good enough for it. Do you know I'm a Taoist? There are bound to be many strange things happening around me. What if a demon with a gaping maw lies next to you in the middle of the night? Just thinking about it is exciting."

Startled, Shen Wang hung up the phone.

"Hmph! I just tested her, and this woman is quite capable. She's very shrewd and knows how to calculate things, but she's also a bit sharp-tongued and can even be hurtful with her words. I doubt only you could subdue her!"

Upon hearing that the master had given him a somewhat satisfactory answer, he immediately crossed his legs.

"Your face is bluish, a result of long-term sleep deprivation and a chaotic personal life. You suffer from both kidney deficiency and general weakness. It seems Master Gu was right. I think you should make some changes, or you won't be able to find a girlfriend who's high up in the world."

"Han!" Chen Wang came closer and touched his arm in a slightly coquettish manner.

"Thirteen days from now, I don't seem to have anyone I want to see. How did she know I would find my destined woman?"

"If I'm not mistaken, that day is the birthday banquet of the Liu family patriarch. I estimate that he will invite prominent figures from Jiangzhou. Of course, the He Group will definitely be there, and your Shen family should also be qualified. As for you, I can't say."

Shen Wang immediately looked dejected. He hadn't done anything useful for the Shen family, but he had spent a lot of money.

Now he's working for He Sihan again, but his health isn't great either. He's just a figurehead chairman, while the real power holder is his younger brother, He Sichen.

"Am I that bad? At worst, I'll go with you. The Liu family is about to rise, so your He family has to hold on to the top position and not let the Liu family overtake us."

He Sihan coughed twice, but unexpectedly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Han, are you alright? Don't die! I'll take you to Master Gu now."

He Sihan glanced at his phone; the woman in the video was chatting animatedly with someone.

She's so busy right now, how could she have time?

"Let's talk about it later. I'm fine and I won't die anytime soon."

"Then I'm relieved. You'll have to hold on until the day I find my goddess."

"roll!"

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Yunxi received a text message from an unknown number.

The letter mentioned that the person was a fan of the author, who had some health issues and wanted to meet him in person.

They even sent me the address.

Wow!

Gu Yunxi rubbed her eyes. "A million for a meeting? He's after my kidneys?"

She placed her phone on the table and struggled internally for a moment. She thought to herself, "I'm the most powerful person in the world, what's there to be afraid of?"

Just a meeting, and a million dollars is easily in hand; this money-making speed is faster than daydreaming.

Let's go!

He Sihan booked out the entire famous coffee shop, and now, apart from a few staff members, only he and Chen Wang were left in the shop.

"Who exactly are you going to see? And you even booked the whole place for her."

"When you meet people later, show them some respect and don't reveal your true nature."

Chen Wang suddenly became interested: Women!

The coffee shop door opened, and Gu Yunxi walked in. The staff's eyes lit up when they saw her.

What a beautiful and refined woman!

One more look and I feel like my eyes are falling in love.

Unfortunately, the shop assistant stepped forward and said sweetly, "Miss, I'm sorry, our shop is booked out today, we don't accept walk-in customers."

Gu Yunxi took out her phone and looked at it. Could it be a prank? Someone was playing a trick on her.

"This place is nice, someone even texted me!"

Hearing the familiar voice, He Sihan slowly walked over. "Yunxi, over here!"

Gu Yunxi turned around and saw the man. How could it be him?

He just called me Yunxi? Are we that close? He's alright, though, he's kind of good-looking!

He Sihan's ears turned red as he listened to her heartfelt words.

"Miss Gu, I'm the one who invited you."

"oh!"

The two sat down at a window seat, where another man was standing next to them—it was the man they had been on the phone with!

She waved to him, "Hello, playboy."
