Cousin, let's make a bet.

"I'm free, but... who are you?"

Although he already knew who the person was,

He Li wasn't foolish enough to blurt it out directly.

He feigned confusion, and Yu Jianxin smiled faintly: "Yu Xin!"

"Miao Xiaoyu is my younger female cousin. I heard you two have been quite close recently. Would you mind having a chat?"

Yu Xin? Playing with fake names, huh? Fine.

He Li didn't waste time, nodding directly in acknowledgment.

"We are quite close. I like her!"

"Older Female Cousin, is there a problem with that?"

His direct honesty completely threw Yu Jianxin off guard.

She was momentarily stunned, because in Yu Jianxin's estimation, a young man like He Li, who hadn't yet experienced the harsh realities of society, shouldn't be so mature and open in his dealings.

With her, as the female's family elder, coming to him... he should have appeared nervous and uneasy.

How could he be like this? Admitting his feelings on the spot?

And even asking the female's family elder if there was a problem?

How was she supposed to answer that? No problem, or yes, there's a problem?

If she said no problem, wouldn't that be agreeing? If she said there was a problem, wouldn't it seem like she was deliberately looking for trouble?

She was only here to test He Li; she had no intention of playing the role of an annoying female antagonist. This brat, he's young but quick-witted, truly catching people off guard.

All that being said, Yu Jianxin didn't dislike it.

She had witnessed too much deception and intrigue in the entertainment industry.

He Li's frankness and directness, on the contrary, pleased her.

Additionally, He Li's composure also greatly satisfied her.

"Ahem, naturally, there's no problem!"

"But..." Yu Jianxin changed the subject.

"I at least need to see if you're worthy of Xiaoyu's affection."

"Our Xiaoyu is innocent, so I, her Older Female Cousin, must ensure she's protected from harm!"

She said with a smile, and He Li remained silent.

Yu Jianxin then asked, "Tell me, why do you like Xiaoyu?"

She was genuinely curious about He Li's reason for liking Miao Xiaoyu.

That's why she couldn't help but ask about it.

"Why?" He Li looked up at the sky.

In the night sky, a bright moon hung high.

His lips curved into a smile: "When I entered high school, I met Xiaoyu. At the time, I thought she was very pretty, but I didn't love her yet. In fact, for the next three years, I was actually pursuing other people."

"During these three years, Xiaoyu treated me gently as a friend, watching over me and waiting for me to turn back."

"She cared deeply and was very considerate of my feelings."

"She never argued with me..."

"She always found ways to make me happy."

"I feel very relaxed around her, and she's also very happy to share many interesting things in her heart with me!"

...He Li continued speaking, and Yu Jianxin's gaze changed.

She had thought that the relationship between He Li and Miao Xiaoyu was just like that of ordinary young people, slowly growing closer and eventually warming up because they found each other attractive and had an initial good impression.

But the truth was not so; Miao Xiaoyu had done many things for He Li that even her Older Female Cousin envied.

He Li also did not disappoint Xiaoyu's expectations!

He had always known that Xiaoyu was giving her all for him.

He woke up, responded, and understood her feelings.

This was a love of mutual giving and reciprocal pursuit.

"Xiaoyu is very gentle, very beautiful, and very cute!"

"I've grown accustomed to her companionship and don't want her to leave."

"So I will definitely keep her by my side."

By the end, He Li's gaze had become exceptionally firm.

Yu Jianxin had no doubt that probably no one in this world could stop him from getting Miao Xiaoyu.

This damned dominance... it's truly wonderful!

I'm so envious, I want this kind of love too.

Yu Jianxin looked at the determined He Li, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a faint light.

She couldn't help but press on: "But..."

"I mean, what if, what if Xiaoyu's family is very well-off?"

"What if her family thinks you're not worthy and insists on breaking you two up?"

"Then what do you plan to do?" Yu Jianxin stared intently at He Li.

The latter turned back to look at her: "There is no 'what if'."

"Regardless of whether she truly has an immense background, once I've decided on her, I definitely have the ability to make everyone shut up!" He Li's tone was firm and confident, yet not arrogant, his eyes deepening.

Yu Jianxin was startled. Vaguely... she felt as if He Li knew something.

Could it be that she and her younger female cousin had already been exposed?

Impossible, she was completely covered, how could she be exposed?

As for Miao Xiaoyu? How many people in Ye City knew her?

"I must be overthinking," Yu Jianxin shook her head.

But she was genuinely curious, where did He Li get such confidence?

"You speak with such confidence, yet you've just started your business and haven't accomplished anything yet."

"How can you say such things?"

Yu Jianxin continued to ask, and He Li smiled.

"Older Female Cousin, how about we make a bet?"

"Hmm? A bet? What do you want to bet with me about?"

"It's simple, we'll bet on my career!"

"My game will be launched in late August. We'll bet on how much money I can earn with this game!"

"If I win, then you'll fully support me."

He Li said, and Yu Jianxin frowned.

"What if you lose? What will you do if you lose?"

"Nothing!" He Li shrugged: "If I lose, it only means there's a problem with my ability, and you won't help me, that's all. Afterward, if Xiaoyu's family really makes things difficult for me, I'll figure it out myself."

Good heavens, Yu Jianxin exclaimed, "Good heavens."

You get immense benefits if you win, but pay nothing if you lose?

How dare he say that so righteously?

But, it seems that's also true, what if he loses?

She couldn't possibly force him to break up with Miao Xiaoyu, could she?

If she did that, Miao Xiaoyu would hate her to death.

"You rascal, you're quite the schemer!" Yu Jianxin couldn't help but glare at He Li with her beautiful eyes, saying, the latter shrugged: "Older Female Cousin agreed?"

"What else can I do but agree? However, I really don't think your little game can make much money!"

Yu Jianxin said with some disdain: "Is it a standalone game or a mobile game?"

"Even if you sell it, how much money can you get?"

"Five million!" He Li stated a number.

Yu Jianxin frowned, five million, neither too much nor too little.

But He Li spoke again: "In two months!"

"Huh?" Yu Jianxin was slightly astonished: "You plan to earn five million with this small game in two months?"

He Li nodded: "That's right!"

"And, this is just the beginning."

"After two months, the income will continue to increase wildly."

"We'll bet on whether I can make five million in two months."

"And, this game's income isn't from selling the game!"

Watching He Li's confident demeanor, Yu Jianxin became unsure.

This kid doesn't seem like someone who boasts. Does he really have absolute certainty that he can achieve such a thing? Although five million isn't much for her, for a young man just starting a business... that's definitely an astronomical sum.

Where exactly did he get such confidence?

Yu Jianxin didn't understand, but her curiosity surged.

"Alright, seeing how confident you are, I'll wait and see!"

"If you can really do it, then it proves your potential is huge, and at least in terms of ability, you're worthy of our Xiaoyu. I will support you!" She said, then checked the time and stood up.

"But if you fail, then you're on your own!"

After speaking, Yu Jianxin strode away with her long legs.

He Li watched her retreating figure, smiling brightly.

Five million is indeed a lot, but he holds various ideas in his mind from the future about games raking in huge profits domestically. Earning five million within two months of the game's official launch truly isn't difficult.

"Yu Jianxin's status and position are not low. Once I win the bet and have her support, my career will develop rapidly."

"Xiaoyu's family will also accept me more easily."

"Xiaoyu, just wait for me to marry you and bring you home!"

Muttering a few words, He Li left with a joyful mood...
