Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

In fact, Li Xiaofeng's so-called soul-searching question to Liu Qianqian was very simple: the reason why Liu Qianqian didn't get together with Sun Wenxuan was because she looked down on him.

To put it simply, Sun Wenxuan's current career and achievements cannot satisfy Liu Qianqian's material needs and the vanity in her soul.

Li Xiaofeng could satisfy her, after all, she already knew about Li Xiaofeng's current net worth.

The problem is that she wants to possess Li Xiaofeng exclusively, but Li Xiaofeng has lived through one life and has finally made it to where he is today. He is here to enjoy life, not for a woman to enjoy him.

In fact, a woman's happiness is very simple: marry a man who loves her, nurture the relationship with care, manage the family well, and be content with what she has. She can most likely be happy until old age.

But how many people in this world truly know how to be content with what they have?

Another problem is that honest people are not actually safe.

Often, those so-called honest men and women are simply those who lack the opportunity and means to be dishonest. Once they have the opportunity and means, the outcome is unpredictable.

Therefore, after seeing through this, many people think that since honest people are not necessarily reliable, why don't I find someone with better conditions and more money?

However, the devil is always one step ahead of the saint. Once the rich see through this, they will think, "Why should I get married?"

Why share half of the money you've worked so hard to earn? Wouldn't it be better to solve the problem with money and keep the initiative in your own hands?

For example, our beloved "national husband," Principal Wang.

Society is very simple, but people are complicated!

After Li Xiaofeng asked her that question, Liu Qianqian finally answered after a long while: "Why do I have to marry Sun Wenxuan? Can't I just not like him? Do you really want me to marry Sun Wenxuan?"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Am I crazy? How could I possibly want you to marry Sun Wenxuan? A woman as outstanding as you, how could he be worthy of you? Only a man like me could barely be worthy of you!"

Hearing Li Xiaofeng say this, Liu Qianqian's somewhat displeased face finally broke into a smile.

"Pah, you're shameless! What's so great about you!"

"I'm good in bed!"

"Get out!" Liu Qianqian's face flushed red.

Li Xiaofeng said with a grin, "I'm driving four wheels right now, rolling around at top speed!"

Liu Qianqian said very seriously, "Li Xiaofeng, don't think that just because you're the boss now, you can do whatever you want. Sooner or later, I will become the boss too, and I'll earn more money than you."

That vow sounds so familiar!

This is youth—full of confidence and boundless energy.

Back then, I also felt that I could embrace the whole world and get anything I wanted through my own efforts.

However, after struggling and working hard for most of his life, he could only barely make ends meet.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaofeng smiled and said to Liu Qianqian in a teasing tone, "Actually, you can own a company very soon!"

"What, are you planning to give the company to me?" Liu Qianqian's expression seemed a mix of surprise and delight.

"If you're willing to be with me, what's wrong with giving you the company!"

Hearing Li Xiaofeng say that, Liu Qianqian seemed a little disappointed, yet also somewhat tempted, and couldn't help but ask, "You mean, if I become your girlfriend, you'll give me the company?"

"She's not my girlfriend, she's my woman!"

Liu Qianqian understood what was meant, but she still couldn't help asking, "What do you mean? You're not trying to tell me that you'd give me the company if I went to a hotel with you, are you?"

Then, she sneered and said, "Li Xiaofeng, Mr. Li, you underestimate me too much. I'm not that kind of person!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled nonchalantly: "Miss Liu, you think too highly of yourself. I invested a whole million in this company, which is no small sum of money!"

If you want this company, you'll have to stay with me for at least a year. Otherwise, how can I appreciate the benefits of you, Ms. Liu? It works out to over 80,000 a month, while the average person only earns a little over 1,000 a month.

I'll transfer 8% of the shares to you every month—actual shares, not phantom shares. In the last month, I'll transfer all the remaining shares to you. How about that?

Liu Qianqian remained silent, her face darkening, and she didn't speak.

Li Xiaofeng laughed and said, "Beautiful Liu, why are you so pessimistic? Being with me is like having a relationship that will never work out."

I'm not some greasy, balding forty-year-old man. I'm good-looking and tall, and I'm even a year younger than you. You being with me is like an old cow eating young grass!

"Why don't you want to have a proper relationship?" Liu Qianqian asked, her expression somewhat disappointed and her tone tinged with resentment.

"How am I supposed to date? You've already said it yourself, I have one boyfriend at school and another one I'm keeping on the side. Besides, what's the point of dating? Dating is too much trouble for me!"

Liu Qianqian said irritably, "Then who can you blame? Who told you to be so fickle! Besides, what's so troublesome about being in love? Isn't being in love the happiest thing in the world?"

"It's also one of the most troublesome things in the world!"

"Why do you say that?"

Li Xiaofeng said calmly, "These days, dating is just treating girls like royalty. You have to make them happy every day, buy them gifts every now and then, and always remember all the holidays."

What is this? In my opinion, it's just that men don't have enough money in their pockets, so they can only compensate with their time and energy in exchange for a girl's body and youth!

To put it bluntly, this is, in a way, a transaction.

It's just that literature has romanticized this kind of transaction. In ancient society, there was hardly any romance; marriages were arranged by parents and matchmakers, and people simply lived together.

Liu Qianqian said somewhat unconvinced, "Who said that? Haven't you heard of 'The Phoenix Seeks Its Mate'? The love story of Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru is a classic ancient love story!"

Li Xiaofeng said irritably, "Come on, what kind of bullshit classic love story is this? If this were in modern times, it would just be a rich and beautiful girl with a love-struck head being cheated out of her money and her body by a homeless singer with dyed yellow hair."

Sima Xiangru was indeed talented, but the reason he and his wife were able to make ends meet was because of the financial support from Zhuo Wenjun's family. To put it bluntly, he was a kept man!

What's even more shocking is that Sima Xiangru later had an affair, almost leading to his divorce from Zhuo Wenjun. It's likely that Sima Xiangru was afraid of damaging his reputation and affecting his career; otherwise, he would have divorced Zhuo Wenjun much earlier.

Liu Qianqian asked in surprise, "Really? You're not making up a story to fool me, are you?"

"Then you'd better go and read some books. Your love story is taken out of context, while mine is the complete version!"

Liu Qianqian fell silent again, took a deep breath, and fell into deep thought.
