Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!

Lang Mingxi, being a lawyer, immediately gave his reasons, one, two, and three.

First, he liked Lin Cuiling as a person; seeing her made him happy, and he felt that living together and spending every day together would be more relaxed and enjoyable. He didn't feel the same way about anyone else. (Cuiling doubted this, but she didn't say anything.)

Secondly, after spending many years together, he discovered that Cuiling had excellent character and a good personality. When it comes to dating and marriage, one should look for someone with good character to avoid being hurt. This was especially important to him, a lawyer who frequently handled cases and witnessed numerous breakups and reconciliations. (Cuiling thought to herself, "So, people with good character are just meant to be taken advantage of?")

Third, I am financially independent and have no worries about the future, so I hope to find someone I like and spend my life with them, according to my own wishes.

"I think you like me a little, don't you? Why don't we give it a try?"

After stating these three points, Cuiling looked at him and asked, "Is that all? Nothing else? Just dating?"

Lang Mingxi carefully observed her expression. "Of course, marriage would be the best option."

Cui Ling pretended not to hear the last sentence, "Oh, it's better not to get married."

I've already learned my lesson the hard way. Marrying based on love alone won't work. When I was young, I also believed that love could conquer all, but alas...

Okay, it's fine to have boyfriends/girlfriends all the time. If we don't like each other anymore, we can break up. It's better for both of us.

Upon hearing this, Lang Mingxi gritted his teeth in hatred, cursing Cui Ling's ex-husband a thousand times over, but could only pretend to be relaxed and happy, "Alright, let's go out for a meal to celebrate today."

"No, DouDou is waiting at home."

"Then let's go home, bring DouDou and XiaoMeng, and have a family meal to commemorate this moment."

"Alright then." Come to think of it, one reason Cuiling was willing to be friends with Lang Mingxi was because Dou Dou and Xiao Meng got along well with him. Children are unlikely to like bad people.

Lang Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief; at least he had taken a step forward. He knew it was impossible to achieve everything in one go, and this progress was already quite good.

While booking a private room at the hotel, he took the opportunity to call his assistant and asked him to find some time to go to the underground parking garage of Peking Union Medical College Hospital and drive his car back.

Xiaomeng brought Doudou out to eat with them. When Lang Mingxi claimed he had Lin Cuiling's permission and they were now boyfriend and girlfriend, Xiaomeng was shocked. "Wait, haven't we always had a purely financial relationship? You actually want to be my brother-in-law?"

But they only said they were dating, not that they were going to get married... so it doesn't seem like a big deal.

Xiaomeng had been in the industry for a while and knew that some people only dated and didn't want to get married; they were just there for fun. They'd stay together if things worked out, and break up if they didn't. Those who did get married were usually driven by self-interest.

She asked her older sister, and seeing that her sister was also willing, she stopped worrying about it. After all, her older sister was a worldly-wise adult.

Even if everyone misjudges someone and meets the wrong person, she'll be there to protect them. Cui Ling can just live her life as she pleases.

Rich people can afford to try and fail at will.

The fact that Lang Mingxi had a girlfriend gradually became known within their social circle. While people were somewhat surprised to learn that he hadn't chosen a woman from a wealthy or prestigious family, different people offered different interpretations.

Some people think he's aware of his own status and doesn't try to climb the social ladder unrealistically. Others think he's low-key and knows how to keep a low profile. Still others think he's fallen below his station by choosing an ordinary, relatively unknown wealthy woman.
