The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 280 Sensible Children Get No Love (4k)

Saying goodbye to the old year and welcoming the new, the new year begins.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the sound of firecrackers was no less than yesterday.

Lin Qingge opened her eyes groggily, feeling weak all over, especially her legs, which were extremely limp and powerless.

After Gu Heng's all-night watering last night, she belatedly realized that what Gu Heng had said to her at the dinner table last night was not just empty boasting.

Who said that kind of thing lasts at most half an hour?
That's utter nonsense!

It is suggested that students who are not performing well should not participate in the discussion anymore!
This is definitely damaging to the image of top students!

Last night, Gu Heng seemed tireless. If it weren't for the fact that she had to do a group broadcast tonight, the other party probably wouldn't have finished until dawn.

Thinking about how Gu Heng had manipulated her in various ways last night, she felt incredibly ashamed.

"woke up?"

Lin Qingge was so embarrassed that she wanted to burrow deeper into the blankets, but unexpectedly, Gu Heng's gentle voice rang in her ears at just the right moment.

She turned her head to look at her side and saw Gu Heng leaning against the headboard, holding a book called "Culture and Society" in his hands. She could even faintly smell the ink from the pages.

The two locked eyes, and she froze for a few seconds before instantly shrinking into the blankets.

However, with her face flushed red, she crawled under the covers.

Almost instantly, she crawled out of the blanket again.

"what happened?"

"Weren't you eating a lot last night?"

Gu Heng asked with a half-smile, "You don't like it today?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingge turned her head and glanced at the time.

At 10:30 a.m., she had less than four hours left before she had to leave for the company.

Considering Gu Heng's schedule last night and the rest time she would need afterward, she quickly shook her head: "There's not enough time. If we do it again, I really won't be able to do a live stream tonight."

How about tonight?

"I'll come back early after my stream, then it'll be fine no matter what~"

Lin Qingge raised her jade-like arm and hugged Gu Heng's waist, her coquettish tone carrying a hint of pleading.

"Now what?"

Gu Heng's gaze shifted, and he spoke meaningfully.

Seeing Gu Heng's obvious intentions, Lin Qingge gave him a flirtatious glance, then said nothing and slid back into the covers.

"call……"

Gu Heng let out a soft breath, then turned his gaze back to the pages of the book.

That was truly—

He ignored all worldly affairs and devoted himself solely to reading sacred texts!

……

For the next few days, Gu Heng basically stayed at home.

I sleep until I naturally wake up during the day, and then do my usual morning exercise with Lin Qingge.

After her morning exercise, Lin Qingge rested for a while before going downstairs to make breakfast.

It was called breakfast, but it was actually almost noon when we ate it.

It has to be said that Lin Qingge's cooking skills are really good. She is very good at those ordinary home-style stir-fries, and the taste is quite good.

During the Spring Festival, Gu Heng originally planned to just order takeout in the morning and have the various restaurants under the Zhencui Group deliver meals in turn for dinner. Now that Lin Qingge is with them, they can be completely self-sufficient for breakfast.

After breakfast each day, Lin Qingge would pack her things and prepare to go to Xingchuan Entertainment for work, while Gu Heng would exercise for two hours after Lin Qingge left home, and spend the rest of his time reading.

Ever since that day when he suddenly realized what had happened, reading has become Gu Heng's top priority, and everything else has to take a backseat to reading.

Lin Qingge would read until 8:30 every evening and then return on time.

After the other person returns, the two will have dinner together.

After dinner, we can either take a bath together or watch a movie together.

Ok……

The beginning doesn't matter, because the process and the ending are the same anyway.

Having tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time, Lin Qingge is currently in the stage of savoring the flavor, while Gu Heng is also at the peak of his infatuation with the lively and pure Lin Qingge.

The two spent five days in this shameless manner, during which Gu Heng treated Lin Qingge and Feng Yao equally.

All sorts of top-tier clothing and bags were available for Lin Qingge to choose from, just like cabbages.

In addition, Gu Heng also promoted the videos on Lin Qingge's Douyin personal account. After spending real money, the effect was obvious, and Lin Qingge's follower growth rate skyrocketed.

……

On the fifth day of the lunar calendar, people welcome the God of Wealth.

On this day, firecrackers were set off everywhere from morning till night, even more intensely than on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.

According to the elders, the New Year celebrations are usually considered over after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

For the vast majority of young people in Northeast China, after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the suitcases that have been open for many days will be closed again after tonight, and they will embark on their return journey with their owners.

This journey, named "Going Home," will officially end tomorrow.

In the afternoon, after driving Lin Qingge to the headquarters of Xingchuan International Group, Gu Heng turned the steering wheel and headed towards the Sky City in the direction of Nanguan.

After parking his car in the underground parking lot, Gu Heng took the elevator to the first floor and walked quickly toward the place he had agreed to meet with Luo Xiwen.

Gu Heng spent almost the entire New Year with Lin Qingge.

Now it's time to spread the benefits evenly.

Jiang Ruan and Xu Mo are indeed still in their hometown and haven't returned, but Luo Xiwen has always stayed in Beichun and never left, because her home originally belonged to Beichun.

In fact, Luo Xiwen had asked Gu Heng out a few days ago, but Gu Heng felt that the festive atmosphere outside was too strong during those days. He didn't like that kind of family joy and reunion atmosphere, so he made an excuse to refuse Luo Xiwen.

He happened to have something to do today and needed to go out. In addition, the Spring Festival was coming to an end and major shopping malls were gradually returning to normal, so he took the initiative to invite Luo Xiwen out.

Gu Heng followed the location that Luo Xiwen had sent him more than ten minutes earlier and finally found him by the floor-to-ceiling window of Starbucks.

Today, Luo Xiwen wore a beige cashmere coat, her long, smooth, and glossy black hair was simply tied up at the back of her head, and her fair and translucent oval face was lightly made up. At this moment, she was sitting at a round table by the window, her right hand supporting her chin as if she was in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

As Gu Heng approached, many people, both inside and outside Starbucks, were secretly observing Luo Xiwen. Among them, many girls were captivated by Luo Xiwen's dignified and stunning beauty.

Seeing this, Gu Heng walked straight to the French windows.

"Dong dong dong..."

She gently tapped on the French windows, and Luo Xiwen, who had been lost in thought with her chin resting on her hand, came back to her senses. When she saw Gu Heng looking at her with a smile outside the window, a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face.

She quickly stood up, picked up the coffee she had bought beforehand, and hurried out of Starbucks. "Gu Heng~"

"I bought you your favorite matcha cocoa Frappuccino~"

When Luo Xiwen saw Gu Heng, her joy was visibly overflowing from her bright eyes, and her gaze was filled with tenderness.

"There was a bit of a traffic jam when I entered the underground parking lot. I was delayed for more than ten minutes at the entrance. I should have known better than to drive myself and had the driver bring me here."

Gu Heng explained to Luo Xiwen why he was late, and then asked, "When does the movie start? Is there still time?"

"There's enough time."

Loshvin nodded: "Fifteen minutes is enough for us to go up."

"Let's go then."

Gu Heng held the coffee in his left hand and naturally took Luo Xiwen's small hand in his right.

The two walked hand in hand through the crowd like any ordinary young couple, yet their stunning good looks and perfect proportions drew envious glances from passersby.

The film was chosen by Luo Xiwen. It is "Article 20," a highly anticipated realistic film in this year's Lunar New Year film season. The director is Zhang Yimou, and the main actors are all well-known and powerful actors.

The two did not choose the VIP theater, but instead opted for the IMAX theater.

As people flocked into the theater, despite it being the fifth day of the Lunar New Year holiday, the occupancy rate of this popular movie was still quite impressive. Even the IMAX theater, which has the largest capacity, was still 90% full.

The dragon emblem appears, and the movie begins.

The two bought popcorn and placed it on the middle armrest when they sat down. But after the movie started, Luo Xiwen took the initiative to lift up the middle armrest and then snuggled into Gu Heng's arms.

Hug me~

Luo Xiwen tilted her head back and, unusually, acted coquettishly towards Gu Heng.

Gu Heng looked down into Luo Xiwen's gentle, watery eyes, then reached out and hugged her voluptuous body tightly, feeling inexplicably guilty at the same time.

Looking at the three women who were originally by Gu Heng's side, Xu Mo was the most clingy, Jiang Ruan was the most jealous, and only Luo Xiwen was the most sensible.

She is as gentle and refined as a chrysanthemum.

People like Xu Mo and Jiang Ruan often receive continuous companionship from Gu Heng, but apart from the period before Gu Heng went to Zhonghai, Luo Xiwen basically only receives Gu Heng's companionship in fragmented moments.

It could be a day, half a day, or even just one night.

Despite being the most sensible, she received the least.

"what happened?"

Why are you suddenly staring at me?

Luo Xiwen felt a little strange being stared at by Gu Heng. She subconsciously touched her face, wondering if she had something on it.

"It's kind of pretty."

"It's even better than a movie."

Gu Heng snapped out of his daze and responded with a smile.

"I'll show you when we get home tonight~"

Luo Xiwen felt a little sweet inside: "Watch for as long as you want~"

"Going home tonight..."

"There are so many places I want to see, I might not have time to look at faces."

Gu Heng raised the corners of his lips slightly and whispered a reply in Luo Xiwen's ear.

Luo Xiwen instantly understood, and his face flushed even more: "Then...then take a look more..."

Looking at Luo Xiwen's radiant appearance, Gu Heng's smile deepened.

He then tightened his grip on Luo Xiwen's arm, said nothing more, and turned his gaze back to the IMAX screen.

……

As the movie ended, darkness gradually fell.

Gu Heng and Luo Xiwen strolled around the mall briefly before going down to the underground parking lot to retrieve their car and leaving. They then headed straight for Zhenhai Seafood Restaurant.

Upon arriving, the two parked the car at the main entrance. After getting out of the car, Gu Heng tossed the car keys to the doorman.

"Chairman Gu!"

"Miss Luo!"

Sun Zhixing, the general manager of Zhenhai, had received the news and was waiting at the door early. When he saw Gu Heng and Luo Xiwen get out of the car, he immediately took the initiative to greet them.

"Xiwen and her family are having a dinner party in a private room at Xige today. Please send someone to keep an eye on them later."

As Gu Heng led Luo Xiwen into the restaurant, he instructed Sun Zhixing, "Has President Wang and the others arrived yet?"

"Everyone's here, and they've all been seated in the Lanting private rooms."

Sun Zhixing responded immediately.

"Manager Sun, our private room doesn't need any special treatment."

"My third aunt is hosting a dinner tonight. She usually doesn't have much contact with our family, but I don't know why she suddenly said she wanted to treat us to dinner this year. And I don't know what she said to my mom, but my mom insisted that I come over tonight."

At this point, Luo Xiwen felt a little depressed. It was rare for Gu Heng to have time to spend with her. If she had a choice, she would really like to be by Gu Heng's side all the time.

"correct."

Remembering what Gu Heng had just asked Sun Zhixing, Luo Xiwen quickly asked Gu Heng, "You also have a dinner party here tonight?"

“Wang Baoshan is treating us to dinner tonight, along with your bank manager Qian Zhengxing, Jiang Man and her daughter. Originally, Wang Baoshan had set the venue at Yanronghui, but you told me that your family was having dinner at Zhenhai tonight.”

Gu Heng explained the situation to Luo Xiwen: "I figured that since both Yanronghui and Zhenhai are our own territory, I might as well have Wang Baoshan change the address to Zhenhai. We'll definitely be drinking very late tonight, so once you're done there, you can just come find me directly, saving you the trouble of making another trip."

"How thoughtful!"

Luo Xiwen's eyes lit up slightly as he praised Gu Heng.

"of course."

Gu Heng smiled and said, "I've always been very considerate, haven't I?"

Luo Xiwen tentatively asked, "But tonight is Mr. Wang's dinner party. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to have them change the address for my sake?"

"Nothing inappropriate."

“I recently gave him a big project, and he’s so grateful to me that he wouldn’t even have a problem with it. Even if I changed the address from Yanronghui to Zhenhai, or even to a roadside barbecue restaurant, he wouldn’t have any objections.”

Gu Heng gave a brief explanation, then patted Luo Xiwen's slender waist: "Go on, it's not good to be late for dinner with your elders. I'll wait for you in the Lanting private room. Take your time, there's still plenty of time."

"Uh-huh."

"Then I'll go."

Luo Xiwen responded twice, waved to Gu Heng, and then walked towards the Xige private room under the guidance of the waiter. Gu Heng, on the other hand, walked towards the Lanting private room, accompanied by General Manager Sun Zhixing.
