The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 95 Vulgar Language (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Like a dream, it's as if a dream has been reflected into reality.

Such a walk-in closet is probably a scene that every ordinary girl has dreamed of.

Jiang Ruan reached out and gently stroked the Dior dress.

At that moment, she inexplicably felt like crying.

It was as if all the grievances and heartache endured in the afternoon were released at this moment.

She wiped away her tears, turned and walked out of the guest room, heading back towards the master bedroom.

……

Under the warm yellow light, Gu Heng leaned against the headboard.

He was holding the financial statement for the previous quarter of Zhenhai Seafood Restaurant in his hand, and was carefully reading it.

Since triggering the "Refining the Mind and Strengthening the Spirit" challenge, Gu Heng has completed in-depth research on three catering brands: Yan Rong Hui, Sushi Cloud, and Yuan Zhi. Zhen Hai is the restaurant that Gu Heng is currently conducting in-depth research on.

If it weren't for the fact that he suddenly triggered the second level unlocking challenge of the [Golden Tower of Wealth] half a month ago, he was confident that he could complete the [Refining Practice and Tempering the Mind] challenge by the end of this month.

Unfortunately, plans can't keep up with changes. Since it involves unlocking the second level of the [Golden Pagoda of Wealth], the [Refining One's Spirit and Tempering Oneself] challenge has to be temporarily put on hold, and I can only push it forward a little when I have some free time.

"Buzz..."

Just as Gu Heng was intently reviewing the financial report, his phone, which he had casually placed aside, suddenly vibrated.

When Gu Heng saw the person calling via video, the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up slightly.

When the call connected, Xu Mo's rosy, fair face appeared on the phone screen.

"Brother~"

"I'm off work and going home~"

A crisp sound, paired with a sweet smile.

Even through the phone screen, Gu Heng could feel Xu Mo's youthful and vibrant energy.

Why are you so late today?

Gu Heng's voice softened unconsciously.

"hey-hey……"

"Our department received bonuses today, and then our department head organized a departmental dinner after get off work..."

Xu Mo poured out everything she had experienced that day to Gu Heng, in great detail.

Just as Gu Heng was listening intently to Xu Mo's story, a few sounds suddenly came from the doorway, causing him to instinctively look towards it. There he saw Jiang Ruan, dressed in white pajamas, standing in the doorway.

Gu Heng glanced at Jiang Ruan, then turned his gaze back to the phone screen in front of him.

"right!"

"Brother, why did you suddenly give me a gift today?!"

"It's not a holiday today!"

Xu Mo brought up the old matter again. In fact, when Xu Mo received the gift in the afternoon, she had called Gu Heng, but Gu Heng was doing strength training at the time. He said a few words to Xu Mo and then hung up.

"Who says you can only receive gifts on holidays?"

"You can receive gifts even if it's not a holiday."

Gu Heng smiled gently and spoke softly, "Do you like the gift I gave you?"

"like!"

“I love it!”

"But it's a bit too expensive!"

Xu Mo's voice trailed off at the end: "Brother, I'm perfectly fine with a canvas bag. Compared to the bag you gave me, I'd much rather take a walk with you at Nanhu Lake."

"Momo, are you sure you want to go to Nanhu Lake with me, just for a walk?"

Gu Heng smiled and said, "I'm really a little embarrassed to call you out on this."

Xu Mo blushed slightly as Gu Heng teased her.

"I just...I just wanted to take a walk."

Xu Mo's eyes were somewhat unfocused, and her confidence seemed slightly lacking.

Now, Xu Mo is even more enthusiastic about kissing than Gu Heng.

They kiss when they meet, they kiss when they part, and even when they take a walk in a secluded place, Xu Mo can't help but kiss.

Unfortunately, Xu Mo was shy. Whenever she wanted to kiss him, she was too embarrassed to ask. Instead, she would look at Gu Heng with her big, watery eyes, which would tempt Gu Heng to kiss her.

In the distance, Jiang Ruan looked at Gu Heng, who seemed to regard her as nothing, and then at his gentle eyes and tone during the video call. She couldn't help but bite her lip.

'Is that her girlfriend?'

'To see myself here and still remain so calm.'

Jiang Ruan found it somewhat unbelievable. Normal men who keep mistresses behind their girlfriends' or wives' backs would show some panic or unnatural behavior if their mistress suddenly appeared in front of them while they were video chatting with their girlfriends or wives.

However, Gu Heng did not show the slightest abnormality just now.

How can I describe that feeling?

not give a damn about.

Gu Heng didn't care that she suddenly appeared here, nor did he care what she might do, nor did he care whether the girl on the other end of the video call knew of her existence.

'Too……'

'He wasn't exactly an ordinary man to begin with.'

Jiang Ruan thought to herself silently.

"Brother!" "When you gave me the gift today, many of the older women in our department were there."

"They all envy me so much, and they say you're a good man."

"I thought to myself, of course!"

"My brother is a good man, the best man in the whole world!"

As Xu Mo spoke these words, her pale face was slightly upturned, and her expression was full of smugness.

Gu Heng couldn't help but smile when he saw Xu Mo's expression.

The bag he gave Xu Mo today was just a relatively basic pink chain handbag from the Dior brand, priced at only around 20,000 yuan.

It wasn't that Gu Heng was unwilling to give Xu Mo a more expensive bag, but rather that he considered that Xu Mo had always lived frugally. If he suddenly gave her a bag that was too expensive, it might scare her. There had to be a gradual process.

Gu Heng and Xu Mo video chatted for almost half an hour before hanging up.

Putting down his phone, Gu Heng looked at Jiang Ruan standing at the door of the room.

"Is something wrong?"

Gu Heng raised an eyebrow, his tone no longer as gentle as before.

This change made Jiang Ruan feel inexplicably sad.

"The clothes in my walk-in closet..."

Jiang Ruan leaned against the door, her jet-black hair cascading over her shoulders, her stunningly beautiful face with its pale skin making her look like a figure from a painting.

"Work clothes".

Gu Heng said calmly, "Being my assistant inevitably means going to some business events with me, so you can't dress too shabbily."

tooling?

What boss would buy work clothes worth hundreds of thousands of dollars for their assistant?
Duplicity!

It's clearly a sugar-coated bullet; they're trying to use money to completely subdue me!
Jiang Ruan couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

Were you just on the phone with your girlfriend?

Jiang Ruan remained silent for a moment, but still couldn't help asking.

"Yes."

Gu Heng nodded.

Does she know I exist?

"We don't know yet."

"Weren't you afraid she'd find out about me just now?"

"Not afraid."

"Why aren't you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid."

Jiang Ruan blinked, feeling inexplicably like she had wandered onto a film set.

"do you like her?"

"like."

"Do you really like it?"

"I really like it."

"Since you truly like her, why would you..."

Jiang Ruan paused for a moment: "You also need a personal assistant."

She originally wanted to say "lover," but in the end, she found it too difficult to say.

"I genuinely like her, but I never said that I only genuinely like her."

Gu Heng shrugged and answered very frankly.

Such an answer left Jiang Ruan speechless for a long time.

What kind of rubbish is this?

If Hong Shixian heard this, he'd probably have to light you a cigarette!

"Scumbag!"

Jiang Ruan glared at Gu Heng, then turned and left.

However, she only took a few steps before slowly stopping again.

Raise your hand and place it on your chest.

"Thump thump thump..."

That rapidly beating heart, and those burning cheeks.

What does it mean when he says it's not just about genuinely liking someone?

"Could it be that he treats me this way because he genuinely likes me?"

Jiang Ruan couldn't help but let her thoughts wander, murmuring silently.

……

In the master bedroom.

Gu Heng looked at the progress in the [Conquer] challenge mission, which had quietly increased from 60% to 66%, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"The mouth is too good for the body..."
