I'm fighting with you
“Oh, it’s nothing. You delivered the money, so half of the love in it is yours too.”
“Mm-hmm…”
Zhao Xiaohong laughed unnaturally, thinking, 'Half the love is gone, but all the money is with me.'
“I’m full. Let’s go.”
“Alright, Xiaohong, are we getting a room later?”
“Pfft…”
Zhao Xiaohong looked horrified. “You, are you crazy?”
Chen Xiao shook his head. “I’m not crazy. How about I buy you a Fruit 4?”
“Fruit, Fruit 4… I…”
“Not enough? Then add a new-model Donkey brand bag.”
“Hiss…”
Zhao Xiaohong’s heart pounded. That bag was almost twenty thousand yuan!
“Unwilling? Then forget it. Let’s go back to the academy,” Chen Xiao said.
Zhao Xiaohong heard this and understood that if she was unwilling, she’d get nothing.
“It, it’s not that I’m unwilling. It’s just… we just met. Won’t it be too, too fast?”
Chen Xiao laughed. “No, we’ll have plenty of time to get to know each other later.”
Zhao Xiaohong was in a dilemma.
This rich man seemed very hard to fool.
As soon as she showed a hint of unwillingness, he was ready to leave.
She truly hadn’t prepared herself mentally, but her phone and bag were ready…
After much hesitation, Zhao Xiaohong finally asked:
“You, will you marry me?”
Chen Xiao’s mouth twitched. This sentence was exactly the same as in his previous life.
He laughed. “After tonight, as long as you’re willing.”
Zhao Xiaohong shyly lowered her head, calculating in her mind: twenty to thirty thousand yuan for a token of love, then marrying a rich man—not a loss.
Having made up her mind, she whispered, “Then, then alright, but you have to book a five-star Hotel.”
Chen Xiao chuckled inwardly. “No problem. Thunder, have Su Tang book one.”
“Yes, Boss.”
Although Thunder didn’t know the reason, he didn’t hesitate at all.
For him, he was willing to do anything for Chen Xiao, without principle or bottom line.
Leaving the noodle shop, the four got into the car. Zhao Xiaohong naturally leaned on Chen Xiao’s shoulder, fantasizing about a wealthy life.
A few tens of minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of a shopping mall.
Chen Xiao came to the familiar spot again, first to buy her a phone.
He still bypassed Li Mengyue and found the older sister he had bought from twice before.
It made her teeth itch with anger.
Then he put his arm around Zhao Xiaohong and swaggered away.
Upon entering the Hotel, Chen Xiao deliberately lagged a step behind, taking the opportunity to instruct Thunder.
Thunder was stunned, “Yes, yes, Boss, I’ll do my best.”
Only then did Chen Xiao walk into the room with a smile, closing the door.
“Darling, I’m going to shower first.”
“Together?”
“No. You watch TV for a bit. I’ll be quick.”
“Alright.”
…
Chen Xiao sat on the sofa, his eyes fixed on the TV, but his mind kept replaying events from his previous life.
Those five hundred thousand yuan included his parents’ lifelong savings and connections, and even high-interest loans. She took it without hesitation, completely disregarding his life or death.
Later, Chen Xiao was chased by debt collectors with nowhere to hide, and he personally saw Zhao Xiaohong get into Xing Yanqing’s car.
He wished he could tear that pair of scoundrels to pieces, but he never had the chance. If he didn’t die, his family would be implicated, so he was finally forced onto the rooftop, where he jumped off, ending his life.
“Darling, what’s wrong?” Zhao Xiaohong asked as she came out.
Chen Xiao was startled. He looked at the cigarette pack crumpled in his hand and said casually, “Oh, just a plot on TV. It made me very angry.”
“Oh, those are all acted, no need to take it seriously.”
“All acted”—what a perfect phrase! It fits you perfectly!
“Hmm, alright, I’ll go wash up,” Chen Xiao said.
The water from the shower continuously washed over his body.
Besides the thought of revenge, his heart was surprisingly calm, so calm that… everything else was also very calm.
Chen Xiao was stunned.
“Holy crap, this won’t do…”
But, facing Zhao Xiaohong, he just couldn’t ignite that flame.
After washing, Chen Xiao lay directly on the bed.
Zhao Xiaohong, holding her new phone, took various photos in the Hotel for a full hour before walking in.
“Darling, I’m here. This Fruit phone is really easy to use.”
Chen Xiao smiled. “As long as you like it.”
“Mm, I like it very much. I heard the Fruit 4s is coming out too.”
“Heh heh, as long as I’m happy, it’s not a problem.”
“Really?” Zhao Xiaohong asked in surprise.
“Of course it’s real.”
“Ji Yuzheng, you’re really too good.”
“Mm~~~”
For materialistic women, there is no better corrupting agent than money.
Chen Xiao’s anger was mixed with the pleasure of revenge.
Naturally, he wouldn’t hold back at all…
…
The next morning,
Chen Xiao, who hadn’t slept all night, looked a bit haggard. The ashtray was filled with cigarette butts.
“Cough cough…” Zhao Xiaohong walked out, leaning on the door frame, and said:
“Dar, darling, why are you smoking so much?”
Chen Xiao smiled. “Because I’m worried.”
“Huh? Worried about what? Shall we go buy a bag today?”
“Sigh, what I’m worried about is how to buy you a bag.”
“Ah? You… what do you mean?” Zhao Xiaohong suddenly had a bad premonition.
Chen Xiao stood up and said, “To pursue you, I’ve already spent a year’s university tuition, so I’m thinking about where to get some money to buy a bag.”
Zhao Xiaohong was completely dumbfounded. It took her a long time to react.
“Dar, darling, you’re joking with me, right?”
Chen Xiao shook his head, looking dejected and sincere, and said, “No, I really wish I were a true tycoon so I could give you this kind of life every day.”
“You… you… you lied to me! What about the luxury car, the driver, the bodyguards?”
“Sigh, now, I have to tell the truth.”
“The car was rented, the people were hired. They’re all due today. Xiaohong, but I really like you. I’m willing to spend all my savings to pursue you. Are you still willing to be with me?”
Looking at Chen Xiao, whose eyes were red, lips cracked, and face was full of despair, Zhao Xiaohong’s head buzzed.
Then, looking back at the crimson stain on the bed, her anger surged.
“Ji Yuzheng! You liar, you damn liar! You want me to be with you? You’re dreaming! And, you compensate me!”
Chen Xiao watched her erupt in anger and calmly said, “Compensate for what?”
“Money! However you ruined it, fix it for me!”
Chen Xiao: “…”
He instantly understood why that night of their marriage in his previous life.
“Xiaohong, calm down first. Didn’t you say after tonight you’d let me marry you?”
Zhao Xiaohong cursed, “Marry me? What will you use to marry me? Next year’s university tuition? You’re not worthy! Just give me three thousand yuan and this matter is settled, otherwise I… I, I won’t let you off.”
Chen Xiao looked sincere. “You really don’t want me to marry you?”
“Get lost! If you mention that word again, I’ll fight you!”
