The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Can't we have all of Chapter 37?
Night falls and the city lights begin to twinkle.

Moonlight filtered through sparse clouds, dappling every corner of the city. Under the caress of the moonlight, the glass curtain walls of skyscrapers lost their daytime coldness and shimmered with a soft halo, as if draped in a layer of silver gauze.

Jiang Ruan walked out of the Lio Sports and Fitness Center. She had just taken a shower, and her black hair was still slightly damp. Her face, without her delicate makeup, looked fair and clean, making her appear even more aloof.

She wore a light gray turtleneck top with straight shoulders and black A-line high-waisted shorts, paired with black mid-calf Martin boots. She carried a beige gym bag over one shoulder, exuding a youthful and vibrant aura from head to toe.

"Di Di-"

Jiang Ruan had only taken a couple of steps out of the Lio Sports and Fitness Center when she suddenly heard two short car horns coming from not far away.

She instinctively looked in the direction of the sound and saw a Maybach GLS600. The man sitting in the driver's seat was Gu Heng, who had just spent nearly an hour learning freestyle swimming with her in the pool.

Recalling the teaching session in the pool just now, Jiang Ruan's fair face felt slightly hot.

Gu Heng was a beginner, and she was the teacher.

The two were alright on the shore, but once they got into the water, they were in close proximity, so some physical contact was inevitable.

Having been single since childhood, this was the first time she had such intimate contact with a man.

That feeling of my heart pounding hasn't completely subsided even now.

"Mr. Gu?"

Why haven't you left yet?

Jiang Ruan gripped the shoulder straps of her gym bag with both hands, walked quickly to the driver's seat where Gu Heng was, and bent down slightly to ask.

"A little hungry."

"I want to eat something."

Gu Heng leaned back in his comfortable chair and looked at Jiang Ruan with a smile, asking, "We need a dining buddy, Teacher Jiang, would you like to join us?"

"Going to eat right after exercising sounds a bit sinful..."

Jiang Ruan blinked, and her slightly bent-over posture made her look inexplicably alluring.

"But since I have the chance to have dinner with President Gu, I might as well indulge in some sin tonight."

Jiang Ruan then changed the subject, essentially accepting Gu Heng's invitation.

"boarding."

Gu Heng gestured to Jiang Ruan, then slowly rolled up the car window. Jiang Ruan took her sports bag off her shoulder, opened the passenger door, and got in.

The next second, the dazzling geometric matrix headlights illuminated.

The Maybach GLS600 pulled away from its parking space and quickly merged into the traffic.

Not far away, in front of the main entrance of the Lio Sports and Fitness Center.

The two young men watched the Maybach GLS600 drive away, exchanged a glance, and could see a sense of relief in each other's eyes.

"If I had known he drove a Maybach, I wouldn't have smoked half a pack of cigarettes and still not figured out where I went wrong!"

The young man, wearing a white sports vest and with exceptionally muscular arms, couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"The rich end up together, while the poor witness it firsthand."

"These days, you either live off the economy or you live off modeling."

Another young man, wearing a black sports vest and with particularly well-developed pectoral muscles, comforted her, saying, "Since neither of us has anything to offer, let's not keep having unrealistic fantasies."

"Hey!"

"How is it an unrealistic fantasy?"

"My buddy went to ask for someone's WeChat the other day, and he actually got it!"

The white-armed tyrant retorted somewhat indignantly.

"and then?"

The burly woman in black glanced at the other woman sideways: "You can't even access her WeChat Moments, and if you send a message now, it will most likely just get a red exclamation mark!"

"Grass!"

"You have such a sophisticated vocabulary!"

"Are you fucking going to take the postgraduate entrance exam?"

The white-armed tyrant was somewhat taken aback by what he was being said, and he glared at the crowd while cursing.

"Eh?"

"How did you know?"

"I'm actually planning to take the postgraduate entrance exam, and I'm even ready to buy study materials." The big-breasted woman in black looked slightly surprised.

Upon hearing this, the white-armed tyrant froze for a moment, then his eyes widened: "Dude, you're planning to take the postgraduate entrance exam? You're kidding me!"

Are you cut out for studying?

"With the money we'd spend on study materials, wouldn't it be better to buy two more tubs of protein powder and creatine?"

The burly man with the black hair stroked his chin: "I think what you said makes some sense, but..."

"Stop fucking 'but'!"

"Brother, I can't let you go astray!"

"Just listen to your brother. Let's train hard now, and after graduation we'll go straight to Sichuan and Chongqing. With our looks, we're sure to have a bright future!"

Seeing his brother still hesitating, the white-armed tyrant immediately made the decision.

"you sure?"

The big-chested black-clad woman couldn't help but reveal the expression of an old man looking at his phone on the subway.

"I'm missing a butt!"

The white-haired pen master smiled gently.

……

Gu Heng and Jiang Ruan were naturally unaware of the discussions surrounding the Black and White Muscle Brothers.

At this moment, the two were driving through the bustling traffic of the city at night.

"If I had known that President Gu had invited me to dinner, I would not have removed my makeup."

Jiang Ruan looked in the mirror above the passenger seat and said in a slightly annoyed tone.

"That's all right."

"It's just a casual meal, nothing too formal."

Gu Heng, with one hand on the steering wheel, replied with a smile, "Besides, I don't feel there's much difference between you with and without makeup."

"Not by much, it just means there's still some gap."

Jiang Ruan turned her head, her clear eyes seeming to ripple with water.

"That was not what I meant."

Gu Heng was somewhat speechless: "What I mean is that you are beautiful with and without makeup."

"Do you prefer me with makeup or without makeup?"

Jiang Ruan's eyes flickered slightly. After she tentatively asked the question, two blushes involuntarily appeared on her fair face.

Do I have to like one of them?

Gu Heng raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of a smile playing on his lips: "Can't I have them all?"

"Um……"

"That's okay too..."

Hearing Gu Heng's reply, Jiang Ruan inexplicably felt a little embarrassed.

For a moment, her thoughts wandered.

It was purely accidental that Gu Heng saw her without makeup today.

Normally, she would put on makeup whenever she left home.

When will she be seen without makeup?

She only goes without makeup when she's at home, after taking a shower, or sleeping.

These three times are often her most private moments.

Now, Gu Heng says he wants both of these looks.

Doesn't that mean...

Thinking of this, Jiang Ruan's face flushed slightly.

Gu Heng, who was driving, did not notice anything unusual about Jiang Ruan, mainly because he did not expect Jiang Ruan to think so much.

He looked at the navigation on the screen, navigating the city streets with some rustiness, until a detached courtyard in the style of a Tang Dynasty retro building came into view. Only then did he gradually reduce his slightly faster speed...
