Chapter 1: My ex-boyfriend didn't give me enough pocket money, so I dumped him.
Volume 1: Default
There's a proverb in Roman folklore: "All roads lead to Rome, but some are born in Rome."
Lu Fengqing posted this update on her WeChat Moments, along with a photo she took before leaving home.
In the photo, gift boxes bearing the logos of major luxury brands filled the entire living room, leaving almost no room to step.
These were her custom-made autumn clothes, which the brand had delivered this morning. She hadn't had time to get ready because she was in a rush to meet her best friend Huo Huaisui's blind date.
"Miss Huo, are you even listening to me?" came the man's somewhat displeased voice.
Lu Fengqing put down her phone and looked up, pretending to be her best friend Huo Huaisui, to meet her blind date on her behalf. "Yes, there is. You said you work at Gu's Group, as the deputy manager of the sales department, with an annual salary of 200,000 yuan, a fully paid-off house in City A, and a BMW worth 500,000 yuan under your name."
"You hope your partner will be willing to live with your parents after marriage and quit their job to stay at home and take care of the two elderly people for you. As for children, it would be best if they could have a son. Your family has only had one son for three generations, and you don't want the lineage to end with you."
The man's expression softened slightly. "I wonder what requirements Miss Huo has for her partner?"
"Me?" Lu Fengqing smiled, "I don't ask for much, just five million in pocket money every month."
Five million?! The man's face immediately changed, and after a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Miss Huo is so humorous."
“I don’t think this request is excessive,” Lu Fengqing shrugged.
The man suddenly sneered, "I was wondering why Miss Huo, so young and beautiful, would need to go on blind dates. Now it seems... no wonder. Miss Huo isn't looking for a husband, she's looking for an ATM."
Lu Fengqing smiled faintly, "Likewise."
This Mr. Li wasn't looking for a wife, but rather a free nanny and a tool for reproduction.
Mr. Li clearly understood the meaning behind Lu Fengqing's words. His expression changed several times, and he said in a harsh voice, "Women are all like this."
When he spoke again, not only did his gaze become arrogant, but his tone also became harsh.
"Women have always been like this: when they reach the right age, they get married and have children, and after marriage, they are good wives and mothers and take care of their parents-in-law. I would like to advise Miss Huo that beauty fades and a marriage cannot be maintained by beauty alone. A woman should live the life that a woman should live."
Lu Fengqing asked calmly, "Have you said enough?"
Mr. Li choked for a moment.
Lu Fengqing crossed her arms, leaned back in her chair in a relaxed posture, and looked at Mr. Li with a disdainful gaze.
"With an annual salary of 200,000, Mr. Li wants to buy a house and a car in City A outright? He must have been living very frugally all these years. No wonder he's still single at his age. He's not very capable, but he's very arrogant. He might as well quit sales and go print calendars at a printing factory. He should take a good look at what era we live in now."
I don't know what kind of taste Huo Huai Sui's aunt had, actually finding her such an awful blind date.
Two hundred thousand isn't even enough for her to buy a watch; I don't know where his sense of superiority comes from.
Mr. Li's face instantly turned extremely ugly. He looked at Lu Fengqing with a sinister gaze and warned in a deep voice, "Miss Huo, don't go too far."
Lu Fengqing continued, "I would also like to give Mr. Li a piece of advice: having a penis doesn't make money, so don't think too highly of yourself."
Suddenly, a very soft laugh rang out.
Lu Fengqing turned her head and was caught off guard by a pair of familiar yet unfamiliar peach blossom eyes, and she froze.
How could it be him...?
Didn't he go abroad? When did he come back?
"Who are you?" Mr. Li asked warily, scrutinizing the man who had suddenly appeared.
The man was very tall, with a handsome face and features that looked like they had been meticulously sculpted. Beneath his sword-like eyebrows were a pair of beautiful and amorous peach blossom eyes.
He has the typical looks of someone who attracts women.
Mr. Li felt that the face looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
The man tapped the wooden armrest lightly with his well-defined index finger. "Tell him who I am."
"..."
Lu Fengqing forced herself to remain calm and looked away, then blurted out, "He's my ex-boyfriend. I dumped him because he didn't give me enough pocket money."
Mr. Li: "..."
The man chuckled softly.
The coffee shop manager rushed over, bowing with a flustered yet forced smile, "Fourth Young Master, what brings you here?"
The man raised an eyebrow. "What, do I need to make an appointment to come here?"
The manager quickly replied, "Of course not."
In a flash, Mr. Li finally remembered who the man was, his eyes widening, "You're Gu... Gu..."
This man is Gu Suixing, the heir of the Gu family, the richest family in the world, and the most beloved grandson of their chairman!
What's this young master doing here?
And what's more, he's actually Miss Huo's ex-boyfriend?!
Mr. Li's vision went black.
