The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 222 Life is like a dream
The next day, at noon.

The frost flowers on the glass windows melted quietly in the midday sun. The camphor trees downstairs were covered with half-melted snow, and glistening icicles hung from their branches, scattering sparkling droplets like broken diamonds when the wind blew.

"tired?"

"Not tired~"

"Let me do it instead."

"I'm really not tired~"

"Good~"

……

The offensive and defensive positions shifted, fifteen minutes later.

Luo Xiwen bent down and gently cleaned Gu Heng up. Her beautiful, dignified face was evenly flushed with an alluring rosy hue, and her eyes were filled with a gentle, watery tenderness.

"Did it snow last night?"

Gu Heng pulled Luo Xiwen back into his arms. He looked out the glass window at the snow-covered landscape, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"That's how it looks."

"Are you coming back after attending the Kyrgyzstan Provincial Entrepreneurs' Dinner tonight?"

A hint of anticipation flickered in Luo Xiwen's eyes.

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng paused for a moment and said, "Xiwen, I have other things to attend to after the Jilin Province Entrepreneurs' Dinner. I probably won't be able to spend the next two days with you."

Although Luo Xiwen had expected this, he still couldn't help but look somewhat dejected when he heard Luo Xiwen say it himself.

"it does not matter."

Luo Xiwen rested her head against Gu Heng's chest again, her voice still gentle and tender.

"So, what are your plans for the next two days?"

Gu Heng gently stroked Luo Xiwen's smooth, long hair and asked her a question.

"Um……"

"I originally planned to spend my life with you."

"Since you have something to do, I'll go home."

Luo Xiwen replied, "It's been a while since I've visited my parents."

"I'll send a car to take you back."

Gu Heng immediately replied, "Please also bring some gifts for your uncle and aunt."

"No need to bother."

"My home is in this city."

Luo Xiwen quickly waved his hand: "I'll just take a taxi back."

"You really don't need it?"

Gu Heng raised an eyebrow slightly.

"No need."

Luo Xiwen tilted his head up and gently kissed Gu Heng's cheek: "Let's go take a shower, and I'll make you sweet and sour pork ribs afterwards. Is there still enough time?"

"If you're only washing vegetarian food, there's enough time."

"But……"

"I don't think Manager Luo meant that."

Gu Heng's eyes were filled with laughter, and his voice contained a subtle hint of teasing.

"Then why don't we just speed things up?"

Luo Xiwen seemed a little embarrassed.

"I can't guarantee that."

As Gu Heng spoke, he turned over and picked Luo Xiwen up in his arms: "Let's go take a bath."

……

Long, long time later.

Gu Heng stood in front of the full-length mirror in the dressing room, adjusting his cuffs, while Luo Xiwen, whose beautiful face still retained traces of her charm, was helping Gu Heng tie his tie.

Looks like I won't be able to have sweet and sour pork ribs~

After tidying his cuffs, Gu Heng looked at Luo Xiwen, whose dark hair was still damp and fluffy, and teased him with a smile.

"How should I know..." "This bath will take so long."

Luo Xiwen blushed and responded in a low voice.

"It's probably because the bath water is quite moisturizing."

Gu Heng continued to tease.

"It's fastened."

Luo Xiwen was so embarrassed that she couldn't lift her head. She skillfully finished tying Gu Heng's tie, then turned to look at Gu Heng in the full-length mirror, a hint of infatuation flashing in her eyes.

The black double-breasted suit, tailor-made to perfectly accentuate Gu Heng's standard double-breasted figure, paired with his still neat and energetic short and choppy hairstyle, makes him look spirited, with sparkling eyes, and exuding a youthful spirit of high spirits and confidence.

"Then I'm going to leave."

"You should rest a bit more and get some sleep before going home."

Gu Heng turned around, raised his hand and gently stroked Luo Xiwen's cheek as he spoke.

"Good~"

"When you arrive at the banquet later, remember to eat something first."

"Otherwise, drinking on an empty stomach is bad for your stomach."

As Luo Xiwen accompanied Gu Heng out of the dressing room, he asked Gu Heng with concern as they walked towards the entrance.

"rest assured."

"I just asked the driver to buy it."

Gu Heng smiled at Luo Xiwen, who then went to the entrance hall, took out the expensive leather shoes that Gu Heng had prepared in advance from the shoe cabinet, and then squatted down to help Gu Heng put on the shoes, showing the utmost care.

"That's good."

Luo Xiwen helped Gu Heng put on his leather shoes, and then stood up again.

Gu Heng raised his hand and opened the door, only to see that his bodyguard, Xiang Ling Shuang, had been waiting at the door for a long time.

"Chairman Gu, here are the things you requested."

When Xiang Ling Shuang saw the door open, she immediately handed the things in her hands to Gu Heng. In her left hand was Yan Rong Hui's food box, and in her right hand was an orange Hermes handbag.

"garrulous……"

"It's all for you."

After Gu Heng took it from Xiang Ling Shuang, he handed it to Luo Xi Wen.

"You haven't eaten anything since this morning."

"Eat your fill before you go to sleep."

Gu Heng then turned his gaze to the orange Hermès handbag: "This is my New Year's gift to you."

"Happy New Year, Xiwen."

Luo Xiwen felt the care and affection in Gu Heng's eyes, and his heart felt as if it were filled with countless candies.

"Happy New Year, Gu Heng!"

I will always be thinking of you!

Luo Xiwen's beautiful eyes were filled with affection. After speaking, she tiptoed and gave Gu Heng's thin lips a light, fleeting kiss.

"I'm leaving."

Gu Heng raised his hand and gently stroked Luo Xiwen's beautiful face again, then turned and walked out of the house, closing the door behind him.

After Gu Heng left, Luo Xiwen turned around and went to the floor-to-ceiling window. She saw three cars parked in front of her unit: two Hongqi Guoyao cars sandwiching a pure white Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

Luo Xiwen looked down and then took out the New Year's gift that Gu Heng had given her from the orange-yellow tote bag.

Upon opening the gift box, a black crocodile-skin Hermès Birkin bag lay inside. When the winter sun shone on it, its surface seemed to glow, exuding luxury.

As a former employee of China Merchants Bank's private banking division, Luo Xiwen had a systematic understanding of many international luxury brands. As for Hermès' famous Birkin bag, being an international top luxury brand, she naturally knew the value of the bag she held.

This one bag alone is almost half the price of the house she lives in now.

The bag, which she had never even dared to dream of before, was now in her hands. Luo Xiwen pursed her lips and involuntarily looked out the floor-to-ceiling window.

Amidst the snow-covered landscape, Gu Heng, dressed in a black suit, emerged from the apartment building and, surrounded by numerous professional bodyguards, got into a Rolls-Royce Cullinan. The convoy then slowly started moving and quickly drove away from Lanjing Royal Garden.

Such a scene gave Luo Xiwen a strange feeling that life was like a dream.

"If this is all a dream, then let me never wake up..."
