Don't get married if you're reborn.

Chapter 403 Money and Feelings (4K)

Spending time with Xiao Mu is always full of joy and fun.

No matter what you say to her, she always provides a wealth of emotional value!
Of course, she did the same in front of Zeng Wenjie's family. Even if she could only vaguely understand her grandmother's local dialect, she would listen patiently and ask her grandmother to explain it clearly.

She finds even mundane rural matters fascinating and provides positive emotional feedback.

Zeng Wenjie agreed to take Mu Qingyang to climb the mountain in the monkey park, and then shout a few times on the mountain to scare away the audacious monkeys that steal things from tourists all day long.

"I've joined the club!" Mu Qingyang said with a smile.

"Wow, are you in Hung Hing or Tung Sing?" Zeng Wenjie exclaimed dramatically.

Mu Qingyang said, "It's a club from Fengyuan Academy, not Chen Haonan's!"

Zeng Wenjie thought for a moment and said, "Let me think, you must have joined the Go club?"

Mu Qingyang shook his head and said, "You guessed wrong. If you had guessed right, I would have rewarded you!"

Zeng Wenjie frowned and said, "That's... the sports club?"

Mu Qingyang shook his head again.

Zeng Wenjie asked, "Computer Club?"

"Literary club?"

"Mathematics Club?"

"Art Club?"

Seeing that he couldn't guess, Mu Qingyang laughed and said, "The martial arts club!"

Zeng Wenjie choked, as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat!

"Why aren't you laughing anymore?" Mu Qingyang asked curiously.

"Don't laugh!" Zeng Wenjie said irritably. "Tell me honestly, are you planning to abuse me?!"

Mu Qingyang said, "No, I was just protecting you to prevent you from getting hurt next time! You'd look awful if you were swollen up like a pig's head."

Zeng Wenjie said, "I've made something of myself, having a girl protect me."

Mu Qingyang couldn't help but smile, put his arm around Zeng Wenjie's arm, and said, "You've always been promising."

"Unfortunately, I didn't guess correctly, so the reward is gone?" Zeng Wenjie said dejectedly.

“There are still some!” Mu Qingyang walked around to his front, stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pounced on him.

Little Mu is now brave enough to express her feelings!

Zeng Wenjie was moved to tears. It was really not easy for her to operate both her main and secondary accounts, but it finally helped her completely get rid of her social anxiety.

After their stroll and tender moments, Zeng Wenjie escorted Mu Qingyang back to her dormitory, and then chatted with the flamboyant Uncle Dong at the gatehouse.

"Why hasn't Xiao Zeng been playing basketball lately?" Grandpa Dong asked.

"Busy!"

"Please go play ball, please."

"?"

"If you go play ball, those idiots will come to me asking how to use a hook shot, so I won't have to buy cigarettes myself."

"Good guy..."

Zeng Wenjie clicked his tongue, finding it hard to comment, as he was practically becoming Dong Daye's personal wool-gathering tool!

His wife would go square dancing and collect all the small gold ornaments, like lucky beads, that old men would give her. Then, at school, he would give away free cigarettes to students who asked him for tips on hooking hands.

"Hey, only you're so good! In other schools, a girl like Xiao Mu would have three or five idiots coming down to her dorm every week to play guitar and put roses on her."

"With you keeping things under control, those stupid dogs won't dare to come, which saves me some peace and quiet!"

Grandpa Dong said with a smug look on his face as he smoked the cigarette Zeng Wenjie had offered as tribute.

Grandpa Dong is Zeng Wenjie's undercover agent in the girls' dormitory, so of course he gets the best treatment!
Zeng Wenjie thought this was a good thing. Given Mu Qingyang's personality, being harassed too much would probably be very bothersome for him.

After returning to his dormitory, Lin Zhenshan, Wang Bo, and Xu Chuan, still addicted to cards, went to room 626 to play poker again.

Zeng Wenjie thought this was a good thing, as it would save them from delaying his writing!

Chu Qingbai has already been relentlessly urging for more updates offline. If Lin Zhenshan and the others find out again, the secret identity will be exposed to Mu Qingyang sooner or later!
He was somewhat reluctant to reveal himself, and also somewhat afraid to reveal himself. He really didn't know what Mu Qingyang's thoughts and actions would be if he did reveal himself.

While it might not lead to a complete breakdown, it would be very bad if she were to become withdrawn again because of this.

I turned on my computer, logged into QQ, my secondary account was invisible, while my main account was online.

Then, the alt account received a message from Qin Yixuan, and the Pikachu icon that was casting "100,000 Volts" looked quite cute.

It was a message from Qin Yixuan, accompanied by a series of pictures.

"Keep this safe and don't delete it again!"

The pictures he sent were model photos he took for Qin Yixuan last year. Among them was a "hee-gao" photo, which was the one he tricked Qin Yixuan into sticking out her tongue and rolling her eyes.

I didn't feel anything when I first saw this photo of Qin Yixuan, but after her hesitant and stammering speech, looking at the photo again suddenly made me feel very agitated.

Zeng Wenjie thought that she was indeed a powerful figure in the Tea Sect, so terrifying. Even though she was the one who asked him to delete the picture, the message she sent made it seem as if Zeng Wenjie had deleted it himself.

After closing Qin Yixuan's chat window, Zeng Wenjie noticed a small speaker icon flashing. Upon clicking it, he saw a friend request.

The other party did not reply to the friend's question because there was no need to; the online name was the same as the real name, Yan Xinyi.

She probably got the number from Qin Yixuan, and given her status, Qin Yixuan, a mere intern, wouldn't dare refuse.

Zeng Wenjie didn't set the friend verification aside first. He planned to verify it when he was about to log off, so that if she and Qin Yixuan were together, his invisibility would be exposed.
That's the power of details!
Sure enough, a moment later, the main account received a message from Mu Qingyang urging for more updates.

"Hey, can you please stop urging me to update as soon as we meet? My job is already exhausting, and I still have to be a writer, it's really tough!" Zeng Wenjie sighed.

“I’ll show you a screenshot of my royalties and you won’t feel tired anymore! (Strive)” Mu Qingyang replied.

The author website sent me a screenshot of the royalties; it's already accumulated to over a million. Sure enough, excellent novels can make money any year!

Zeng Wenjie recalled how the terrifying anime and related merchandise of "Battle Through the Heavens" had made a fortune, and instructed, "If the website wants to talk to you about copyright, don't agree. Keep it for yourself first. In a few years, we can develop it together!"

"Oh! (surprised)"

"Don't sell it for any price."

"It's a book you wrote, so I definitely won't sell it without your permission."

Mu Qingyang is not short of money, so Zeng Wenjie doesn't need to worry about her being blinded by money... For example, the author of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is in a terrible state. The copyright was sold for a pittance, reportedly for 100,000 yuan, and then there were all sorts of lawsuits.

"Update quickly, I want to see the latest chapter!"

"Don't rush me... I'll write it right away!"

Are all men lustful?

"A man who isn't lustful isn't a real man!"

"..."

"There seems to be a story behind this?"

"No, nothing, none!" Mu Qingyang denied three times in a row.

"Hehehe, spring is here, and warmer weather can't be far behind, right? Then the streets will be full of pretty girls in black stockings and short skirts!"

"Hurry up and write the book!" Zeng Wenjie cursed inwardly. Every time he was urged to update, he couldn't help but curse this damn boomerang.

Damn it, pretending to be a writer like Giles? You could just say you're a character in one of his novels!
Then, Zeng Wenjie started writing. Fortunately, he was already quite comfortable with it, and with the help of an enthusiastic reader named "Potato" providing inspiration, he no longer had writer's block. He wrote half-heartedly and produced 10,000 words in just over an hour. After splitting them up, he sent them directly to Mu Qingyang.

"Internet addict girl, aren't you going to sleep yet?" Zeng Wenjie logged on with his alternate account again, sent a message, and accepted Yan Xinyi's friend request in the process.

At this point, Yan Xinyi was already offline, which saved us the trouble of exchanging pleasantries online.

Mu Qingyang replied, "Aren't you the same?"

"I just finished some work and came online to check things out."

"I just finished updating my novel, but my online friend is getting more and more slow."

"If you don't urge them, they might write more on their own."

"Absolutely not! I'm only able to maintain this pace because I'm pushing them. If I don't push them, this will be a once-in-a-lifetime series."

Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but think of the book "The School Beauty's Personal Bodyguard," truly a "once-in-a-lifetime" series!

He let out a painful wail, hoping that he could finish writing this damned "Battle Through the Heavens" during his four years of university.

"I'm going to sleep! (Sleepy)" Mu Qingyang said.

Goodnight, goodnight, tuck yourself in! (kiss)

"(Kiss) (Kiss) (Kiss)"

"He's suffocating!"

"Hahaha~ Time to sleep, I'll be waiting for you on the playground tomorrow morning!"

Zeng Wenjie had just finished chatting with Mu Qingyang when Lin Zhenshan and the others returned, cigarettes dangling from their lips, looking arrogant and speaking loudly.

"From today onwards, no one in 626 can raise their voice at me anymore!" Lin Zhenshan said proudly.

"Big Brother is amazing! He's left Yang Huan and the others with only enough money for their living expenses!" Xu Chuan cheered.

"Boss, you've earned my approval today," Wang Bo said earnestly.

Zeng Wenjie said, "It seems we had a very good result today!"

Lin Zhenshan glanced at him and said, "Without you pretending to be a spendthrift, how could those four pieces of char siu be a match for me?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "This guy is awesome, even better than Chow Yun-fat!"

Lin Zhenshan said, "I'll treat everyone to breakfast tomorrow!"

The three of them then patted Lin Zhenshan repeatedly, giving him a climax.

After getting into bed, the four of them closed their eyes and chatted.

“Ugh, reporters keep coming to the school to interview us lately, it’s so annoying! Can’t you be a little more discreet, youngest?” Lin Zhenshan said.

“I can’t help it. My talent is like your card skills, boss. I can’t keep a low profile even if I want to!” Zeng Wenjie said.

Lin Zhenshan clicked his tongue and said, "That sounds nice. I'll treat everyone to karaoke on Friday."

Wang Bo asked excitedly, "Are we going to Times Sky?"

Lin Zhenshan said, "Nonsense, I never go to a KTV where no one pours drinks!"

Xu Chuan said, "Wenjie... you left early last time and didn't see your older brother lose his temper and kick his younger sister out on the spot."

Zeng Wenjie was taken aback, and Wang Bo said, "I, Wang Bo, don't approve of this. The girls who come to work at the KTV must have their own unspeakable difficulties. We should be more lenient with them!"

Lin Zhenshan scoffed and said, "So what!"

Zeng Wenjie calmly said, "Since they chose to do this job, they should provide good service and please the customers. What's there to be aloof about? If they make you unhappy, of course you should let them go! Besides, everyone has their own difficulties. I paid money, so why should I be considerate of them?"

Wang Bo and Xu Chuan were speechless.

Lin Zhenshan said, "What the youngest brother said really resonates with me. We're all in this business, so why pretend to be innocent!"

Zeng Wenjie retorted, "It seems you had a secret with those girls at the KTV, and you were hurt?"

"I'll hurt your mother! Time to sleep!"

Lin Zhenshan remained silent for a few seconds, then broke down and cursed angrily.

Zeng Wenjie chuckled and said, "Who hasn't been young and impetuous? You were rich and young before, so you must have been sentimental and easy to fool. There's nothing strange or shameful about that. Everyone experiences setbacks in life!"

Lin Zhenshan cursed, "Damn it, stop talking! Being too nice to these bitches will only make them look like fools!"

Wang Bo felt a little guilty. He had even added his sister on QQ and they had been chatting occasionally lately, which made him very tempted.

Xu Chuan also had no experience in this area and was equally nervous. He was just as clueless as Wang Bo, and actually fantasized about finding true love in a KTV.

"Don't waste your emotions on things that require spending money, but spend both money and emotions where it's necessary," Zeng Wenjie reminded him with a smile.

“That’s right! Use less emotion on women you win over with money, and spend more money on women you win over with emotion,” Lin Zhenshan added.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Wenjie was a bit shocked. Sure enough, Lin Zhenshan's story must be quite profound, otherwise he wouldn't have said such a thing.

However, the two novices only seemed to understand, and they probably won't realize it until they actually encounter some real events.

Zeng Wenjie yawned, feeling sleepy, and soon fell asleep.

The next day, he got up early and went to the playground to find Mu Qingyang.

Mu Qingyang had already started training there. Her figure had returned to its peak, so her training wasn't as rigorous. Only Zeng Wenjie would get up early to train when he was at school.

If Zeng Wenjie isn't around, she'll get up a little later, then go have breakfast, and bring some for her three lazy roommates who always get up on time.

"Hey pretty girl, do you have a boyfriend?" Zeng Wenjie asked with a grin.

"I'm so beautiful, of course I have one!" Mu Qingyang replied shyly.

Zeng Wenjie said, "Lin Zhenshan is treating us to breakfast today. Wake up your roommates and let them come and join us."

Mu Qingyang said, "Okay, I'll call them later."

Zeng Wenjie plans to visit the branch today. Although he has handed over full control to Ye Qiansheng, as the boss, he still needs to go for a stroll occasionally.

He had just arrived by car when he received a call from Xue Lu, inviting him to dinner to discuss the mall in detail.

The online store is under investigation, which means Xue Lu is losing money every day. If no powerful figure gives him special permission, all the money he invests will be wasted...

Xue Lu was unwilling to give up. In addition, Xue Xiangyao had advised him to cooperate with Zeng Wenjie. He decided to grit his teeth, squeeze out some more funds, and start a supermarket business with Zeng Wenjie.

"Hey, Brother Ye, busy?" Zeng Wenjie noticed that the renovation of the snack shop was nearing completion.

"Damn it!" Ye Qiansheng retorted without any politeness.

Zeng Wenjie was already used to his foul mouth and said, "Not bad, this is really fast progress. It won't be long before our snack shop opens! The first shot of expansion has officially been fired!"

"I'm in a really bad mood..." Ye Qiansheng muttered.

"What?"

"It's all because of that idiot woman, Ye Yixuan!"

"?"

Zeng Wenjie had no idea how Sister Xuan had managed to provoke that foolish little brother again.
