Living in a small county town, earning a million a year

Chapter 80 Resignation (11 First Subscription Requested!)

"Hey?"

"Jingrou, what's wrong?"

Xu Mu went to the balcony outside the private room and answered the phone.

He then lit a cigarette.

"Brother Xu Mu, I've told my parents about this."

"Hmm...then what?"

Xu Mu roughly understood what Wang Jingrou meant.

disagree!
After all, although civil servants have low salaries, their jobs are damn stable!
If you leave your job to work for a company, one problem is instability; who knows when the company might go bankrupt?

It will be very difficult to go back then!

It is unique.

As an elder, I definitely wouldn't like this kind of unstable job.

“My parents disagreed, and I even had a fight with them about it! I felt that this was my chance to pursue my dream, but they thought that pursuing dreams is not so easy.”

"At least working in a company is stable and relaxing. If I go to work for a company, I'll have to work overtime and all that..."

"Sigh..." Wang Jingrou sighed as she spoke, "I'm so tired."

"What's the point of arguing?" Xu Mu said calmly. "Talk to them properly and discuss things to get a result... Arguing will only escalate the conflict!"

Does that mean they don't trust my company?

"Yes, they said that even though you have money, that money is still your money, and if I go there, I'll just be working for someone else, and so on... Sigh, I'm so tired."

Are you home now?

"Yes, I made this call to you from my room."

Wang Jingrou's voice wasn't as ethereal as it was at Starbucks; now it sounded somewhat haggard and hoarse.

She must have discussed the decision with her family twice before making that phone call.

"I understand……"

Xu Mu nodded without saying anything more.

This matter depends on Wang Jingrou herself.

"Brother Xu Mu, I really want to work at your company... I want to resign from the tax bureau directly. Do you think that's okay?"

“Definitely not.” Xu Mu smiled and explained, “This job was arranged for you by your parents.”

“They definitely want you to have a stable life. I think you should talk to them properly! Calm down and seriously tell them your thoughts. You graduated from the China Academy of Art, but now you only earn three or four thousand yuan a month, and the promotion channels in this kind of company are limited. But if you come and work for my company, you will have the opportunity to become a senior executive…”

"Just tell them. I'm not making empty promises. If you do well, we do have many ways to promote you, the most direct way being to make money, right?"

“If you resign without saying a word because of this, they will not only not understand, but will also increase the conflict between your family. They will even come to our company to make trouble, which will also affect our relationship with you and your sister Bai Xue.”

"Persuading them is what you should be doing!"

Xu Mu spoke softly to Wang Jingrou.

"I understand, Brother Xu Mu, I'll talk to them some more!"

"Because I really don't want to continue working in a place where I can see the end from the beginning, it's just too tiring!"

"I understand, and I get your thoughts."

"Go ahead and have a good talk with them."

"Well...I see."

Wang Jingrou hung up the phone.

Xu Mu had no idea what she had said to her parents.

But Xu Mu felt that this kind of family environment was normal... The difference in thinking between the two generations was bound to cause friction and clashes!

Very normal.

They use the excuse of "I'm doing this for your own good" to morally blackmail you. In reality, from the moment a child is born, it is destined that the child is an independent individual.

He has his own ideas, his own pursuits, and his own goals.

Similarly, they have their own thoughts!

But the parents didn't think so.

They feel that since I gave birth to you, I have the right to interfere in your life!
From their perspective, they feel that what I'm telling you is all in the hope that you can avoid some detours... But people need to take many detours in order to continuously grow and progress.

A life that is always smooth sailing can feel boring, dull, and meaningless.

If the future is predictable from the start, then life lacks a lot of challenge.

Life is a wilderness, not a track!

Xu Mu finished his cigarette and finally sent the message to Wang Jingrou.

Back in the private room, some cold dishes had already been served.

Xu Mu specifically ordered pickled crab.

Sanmen blue crabs are famous throughout the country, and when Xu Mu was in Ningcheng, his favorite dish was the braised blue crab from Yongshang Mingzao.

Although she always has diarrhea after eating crab, it doesn't stop Xu Mu from liking the crab roe!

Ye Muling and Tang Mochen, father and daughter, chatted about the future of the design company.

They also talked about the recent opening.

Because Xu Mu had spent the entire afternoon discussing everything before and after the opening with Tang Mochen.

Now that Ye Muling is discussing this matter with Tang Mochen, Tang Mochen only needs to bring up the plan that Xu Mu and he had discussed!
Xu Mu didn't listen too carefully; instead, she was busy cooking.

It has to be said that Rong Xiaoguan's food is a bit pricey.

But the taste is indeed quite good.

Moreover, all the ingredients are fresh.

After finishing his meal, Xu Mu made an excuse to go to the restroom, paid the bill, and then squatted by the door smoking.

Zhexi Old Street is quite lively every evening.

There are singers and opera performers here.

Most importantly, Zhang Baochang from Tianji County holds matchmaking events here every weekend.

This is the most interesting part.

Every weekend, the matchmaking stage is always packed with people.

What Xu Mu didn't expect was that after they finished eating, there were still about thirty or forty people queuing up in front of Rong Xiaoguan.

hum!hum!
Xu Mu was squatting in the corner smoking and playing on his phone when Wang Jingrou called again.

"Jingrou".

"Brother Xu Mu, they agreed! But they agreed very reluctantly... They told me to think it over myself."

"I've been thinking about this for a long time, including today while I was at work!"

Wang Jingrou's tone carried a hint of joy.

Clearly, she won this negotiation.

Whether it's done reluctantly or not.

The result is that you just have to agree.

For Xu Mu, there was no essential difference.

"Good that you've thought it through! Once you've completed the handover at your current workplace, just come and report to the company!"

"Understood! However, the resignation procedures for public institutions may be quite complicated; I estimate it will take about a month."

"If you really want to leave, it shouldn't be that complicated."

Xu Mu frowned. Waiting a month would be a bit of a delay... but when it comes to poaching talent, there's really no way around it, you have to wait!

Talented people are not so easy to come by.

"I'll ask at my workplace tomorrow."

After finishing her chat with Wang Jingrou, Xu Mu wasn't too worried.

Since she wants to come, she must be able to handle things at work.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Mu stood up and found that Ye Muling had sent her a WeChat message.

Where are you? Did you fall into the toilet?

"I'm smoking at the door; the bill has already been paid."

"If you're ready, you can come down now..."

Once the relevant details were finalized, the purpose of the dinner was achieved.

Standing at the entrance of Rong Xiaoguan, Xu Mu led Ye Muling to say goodbye to Tang Mochen and his daughter.

Tang Ruobing looked at Xu Mu with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

"Xu Mu, can we go to the internet cafe to play games later?"

"We're busy, Miss, we have other things to do!"

"What do you need me to do? I can help..."

Tang Ruobing's mind worked very quickly, and she blurted it out.

For some reason, she really wants to play games with Xu Mu right now.

Then Xu Mu bullied him while he was still hanging on!

That kind of pleasure was something she couldn't experience when playing games at home.

"Hmm... I don't think there's anything I can help with. We need to hire people and design ads. Are you good at that?"

“Sure!” Tang Ruobing replied immediately. “I can get my classmates from the design department at university to come for interviews if they’re interested in our company!”

“That makes sense…” Before Xu Mu could answer, Ye Muling nodded vigorously, “I had completely forgotten about that!”

"Sure, Bingbing, can you help me get in touch with them?"

"No problem, Sister Lingling, but you want Xu Mu to play games with me!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Muling immediately turned to Xu Mu and said, "Xu Mu, didn't you hear what our shareholders asked? Take her to play games!"

"You have to get this done properly, or I'll dock your pay!"

"???"

Xu Mu turned her head and glanced at Ye Muling.

No, they sold me out so quickly?
And... I don't think I get a salary?
I'm also the largest shareholder of the entire company!

However, since Ye Muling had made a request, Xu Mu couldn't say anything... She could only obediently take a taxi with Tang Ruobing to the internet cafe.

Tang Mochen watched Xu Mu leave with Tang Ruobing and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Mr. Tang, do you really want Bingbing to be with Xu Mu?"

Seeing Tang Mochen smile kindly as he watched Xu Mu and Tang Ruobing leave, Ye Muling felt a strange sense of crisis.

In her eyes, Xu Mu belonged to her.

Moreover, ever since that night when she returned and had a long, heart-to-heart talk with Xu Mu on the Moon Bridge in Zhexi Old Street, Ye Muling and Xu Mu have been completely honest with each other, but they just need a catalyst!
However, having another competitor now also poses a crisis for Ye Muling.

"Of course! Xu Mu is such an outstanding young man, how could I not want my daughter to be with him? Besides, my daughter likes him."

Geek!

Tang Mochen's words made Ye Muling's heart skip a beat!
Do you like Xu Mu?

Isn't this extremely dangerous?
Ye Muling felt a strong sense of alarm.

"What's wrong? Miss Ye, you and Xu Mu are siblings, shouldn't you wish him well?"

Tang Mochen looked at Ye Muling with a half-smile.

He had already learned from Xu Mu that Ye Muling and Xu Mu were not actually siblings.

Xu Mu was an orphan adopted from outside, while Ye Muling was the real daughter!
However, to be able to do what Xu Mu did, even if she was adopted, and still think about repaying her family after growing up, is a very good quality.

Moreover, his way of repaying kindness wasn't simply giving money; he went out of his way to help those around him become wealthy through his own abilities.

The proverb "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime" illustrates this point.

From any perspective, Xu Mu was the most outstanding young man Tang Mochen had ever met.

"It is time to offer my blessings..."

Ye Muling said goodbye to Tang Mochen.

But I had a strange feeling inside.

It's like her boyfriend went on a date with another girl right in front of her.

This feeling made her very uncomfortable.

"That idiot Xu Mu, why hasn't he confessed to me yet?"

"What's wrong with siblings? Although they are legally considered to be related by blood, they can get married as long as the adoption relationship can be dissolved!"

"Hmph! That idiot, I'll make him disappear from the family register in a couple of days!"

Xu Mu: "???"

On the way, Xu Mu looked at Tang Ruobing beside him.

Xu Mu no longer has much of an obsession with playing games.

Honestly, you'd be better off working out than using that time.

After all, you can complete your year-long fitness check-in task by working out.

What can you gain from playing games?
Will I get Tang Ruobing?

Although Tang Mochen had made it very, very clear.

As long as his daughter is happy, that's enough for him.

But Xu Mu really didn't want to touch Tang Ruobing, nor did he want his relationship with Lao Tang to deteriorate.

This is a fundamental difference.

Xu Mu thought for a moment and suggested, "Why don't we stop playing games and go swimming?"

"At this time, I estimate there won't be many people at the Kaiyuan Taihe swimming pool."

"I don't want to go," Tang Ruobing shook her head. "Unless you can let me swim in Yangjiashan's private swimming pool!"

"Impossible," Xu Mu refused outright.

That private swimming pool is only for Wang Mengyan and Wang Ruofei to use.

Moreover, Xu Mu knew them very well.

What is this called?
The beauty is hidden in the golden house!

Tang Ruobing is just an outsider!

"Why? On what grounds?"

"Is our relationship really less important than Wang Mengyan's and Wang Ruofei's? Aren't they just your housekeepers? But I'm your future wife!"

"???" Xu Mu's eyes widened as he stared at Tang Ruobing and said, "Don't talk nonsense! Whose future wife are you? We're not even together yet, how can you talk about this kind of thing?"

"But Dad really wants me to marry you! Don't you want to marry me?"

"That's just wishful thinking on your part!"

Xu Mu shook his head and denied it.

"Then tell me, how can I get to Yangjiashan Villa and use your private swimming pool?"

"Can I sleep with you?"

"???"

"???"

The first question mark belongs to Xu Mu.

The second question mark was from the Didi driver, who instinctively slammed on the brakes upon hearing this!
"Damn it, driver, drive carefully!"

"I am afraid!"

"Ahem... Sorry, I was shocked by your conversation!"

As he spoke, the Didi driver couldn't help but glance at the rearview mirror and saw Tang Ruobing's beautiful face, yet she was so humbly begging a boy.

What a beautiful woman!
Damn, if it were my own wife.

He can laugh himself awake from his dreams.

"Young man, with such beautiful female friends, what's there to be picky about?"

"It's just a private swimming pool in Yangjiashan. What's wrong with taking her there? She even slept with you. In this day and age, there are still such good girls. You don't cherish them and you even look down on them? I wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing!"

Didi drivers are incredibly envious.

If you own a villa in Yangjiashan, you'll have a private swimming pool.

They will definitely accept anyone who comes.

He wanted to experience anything involving a beautiful woman.

"..." Xu Mu was dumbfounded.

"No, I don't like her."

"Would you really bring a girl you don't like home to swim?"

"Relationships are about feelings."

The Didi driver couldn't help but grin wildly at the thought of it. "That's you... If I had your options, I'd change them every day, never the same one twice!"

"Young lady, would you like to consider me? I can work hard to buy a villa in Yangjiashan!"

"roll!"

Tang Ruobing's face instantly turned cold.

She can act coquettishly with Xu Mu, but she won't allow a third person to interrupt their conversation.

Let alone suggesting she consider becoming a Didi driver?
"Hey little girl, I was just joking, why are you doing this?"

Didi drivers have also become quite popular.

"This is sexual harassment. Do you believe I'll file a complaint against you later?"

Tang Ruobing's pretty face was as cold as ice.

Xu Mu had almost forgotten that Tang Ruobing was a cold and aloof young lady. Because she was just too obsequious.

"Look at you, you can't take a joke..."

“Indeed,” Tang Ruobing replied coldly, “but do you think you’re qualified to joke with me?”

"Young man, I now understand why you don't like her!"

Seeing that Tang Ruobing wasn't speaking to him properly, the Didi driver turned his attention to Xu Mu.

Xu Mu sat to the side, his gaze turning cold.

"I think that when I speak to you with a smile, it's out of respect, but that doesn't mean you can comment on either of us!"

"She's the daughter of the chairman of Kaiyuan Taihe Corporation, a rich heiress... Tell me, if you drive for Didi, how many centuries would it take you to buy a villa in Yangjiashan?"

“I know you want to chat with us, but not by bringing up this topic after she’s already said she went to bed. Do you think you’re being funny?”

It has to be admitted that this Didi driver really dared to think outside the box.

What level is Tang Ruobing? What level are you? There's no limit to joking around.

Of course, Xu Mu didn't have a good impression of Didi drivers. Calling them "master" was just polite, and chatting with them was also just polite... But if you take advantage of their kindness and even start fantasizing, then you're in the wrong.

"Ha ha……"

In the end, the master could only manage a dry laugh.

There wasn't even an apology.

The car arrived at the Kaiyuan Taihe Hotel.

Xu Mu and Tang Ruobing got out of the car.

Before the driver left, Tang Ruobing took a picture of the license plate number, gave the Didi driver a bad review, and reported him for sexual harassment.

After doing all this, Tang Ruobing's complexion improved considerably.

"I'm so angry! What a jerk! How dare he come over and hit on me! And say such shameless things? A lowly Didi driver, trying to take advantage of me!"

Xu Mu chuckled, "Who told you to say such things regardless of the occasion?"

"I don't care! It's my right to talk to you! But he has no right to interrupt our conversation. I have to make him pay a fine, or even have his account banned!"

"Tsk!"

Xu Mu couldn't help but click his tongue twice, "You really went all out!"

"That's exactly right! Xu Mu, my smile is only for you; no one else can participate in our conversation!"

"Heh, you're quite domineering!"

This little incident didn't affect Xu Mu's mood; after all, Xu Mu had seen it all before.

I didn't feel like I existed in my daily life, so I got to know some people by driving for Didi.

However, driving a BYD for Didi (ride-hailing service) means that it's all about making a living.

If you're driving a Porsche or a Maybach and you're driving a high-end Didi (ride-hailing service)!

That definitely helps you pick up girls.

He should be even more handsome.

He could definitely be a scumbag.

Upon entering the gym at Kaiyuan Taihe, Xu Mu went to check out the swimming area.

There were only three or four children swimming inside.

The swimming pool is usually crowded in the afternoon, but there are hardly any people in the evening.

Most people who go to the gym come in the evening to do cardio, not to swim.

After buying two swimsuits at the scene, Xu Mu and Tang Ruobing changed into their swimsuits and went into the swimming pool.

After swimming for about half an hour, only Xu Mu and Tang Ruobing remained in the pool.

Since Xu Mu taught Tang Ruobing how to swim last time, she can now try to swim three or four meters in the water on her own.

It must be said that Tang Ruobing's learning ability is truly remarkable.

"Am I amazing? I learned to swim in just a few days!"

"How about it?"

Tang Ruobing swam a lap and came back to Xu Mu, raising her snow-white neck proudly, and asked, "Shouldn't you give me some reward?"

"Huh?" Xu Mu looked at Tang Ruobing and asked, "Didn't you beg me to teach you to swim? Logically speaking, if I teach you to swim, you should pay me tuition!"

What tuition fee do you want?

"Can I kiss you?"

After saying that, Tang Ruobing pounced on Xu Mu.

"No..."

Before Xu Mu could utter a single word...

Tang Ruobing had already pushed Xu Mu into the water.

Ever since I had my first kiss with Xu Mu.

Tang Ruobing seemed to have become obsessed with the feeling of kissing Xu Mu.

Just like after losing to Xu Mu at the internet cafe, she started to take the initiative.

Glug... Glug!
The two people sank to the bottom of the water.

Xu Mu's eyes widened.

Moreover, Tang Ruobing is very domineering, and it seems that she has recently been learning how to kiss.

A large amount of swimming pool water immediately flooded into the mouths of both of them.

"Fuck me!"

Xu Mu shouted in his heart, "This woman is crazy!"
Glug... Glug!
Xu Mu felt that she was having some difficulty breathing.

The two of them quickly sank to the bottom of the water. Xu Mu was no longer passive. Instead, he grabbed Tang Ruobing's shoulder, supported himself with one hand on the bottom, and swam vigorously towards the surface!
call!call!call!
Xu Mu took deep breaths of fresh air.

glaring at Tang Ruobing in his arms, Xu Mu gave her a sharp rap on the head!
"Do you know how dangerous that was? You could easily choke on water and drown, didn't you know?"

"pain!"

Tang Ruobing rubbed her forehead, looking at Xu Mu with a face full of resentment, "I couldn't help myself, could I?"

"Xu Mu, I've realized I've fallen for you!"

"???"

Xu Mu stared at Tang Ruobing in front of him and touched her forehead. "You don't have a fever! Why are you talking nonsense?"

"I don't have a fever, I'm just horny!"

"??"

"Fuck me!"

"You're fucking insane!"

Xu Mu quickly pushed Tang Ruobing away.

Don't touch a horny woman!

Is this what you call a contrast?

Tang Ruobing is such a contrast.

But Xu Mu felt that this was reasonable.

Ignoring Tang Ruobing, Xu Mu started swimming on her own, after all, she hadn't finished her daily check-in task yet!

After swimming for more than two hours, Xu Mu felt completely refreshed.

Upon reaching the shore, they discovered that Tang Ruobing was learning from Xu Mu, practicing the breaststroke little by little.

Xu Mu only knows how to swim the breaststroke. After all, he only spent 1800 yuan on tuition to prepare for the high school entrance exam. Xu Mu didn't swim for many years afterward.

Seeing that Tang Ruobing was still practicing, Xu Mu did not disturb her and went to the front desk to buy two bottles of Scream.

When Xu Mu returned, he saw Tang Ruobing struggling in the water from afar.

"Gurgle... gurgle!"

"Xu...Xu Mu!"

She raised her hands, her whole body bobbing up and down in the water.

But Xu Mu couldn't see the underwater scene at all!

"Fuck me!"

"Fuck you!"

Xu Mu cursed and rushed toward the spot where Tang Ruobing had drowned.

Then, with a splash, he plunged directly into the water.

Xu Mu had never done that before.

The moment he entered the water, the impact of the water caused Xu Mu's swimming goggles to fall off, and his entire face burned with pain.

He could only swim quickly towards Tang Ruobing's direction, following his memory!

Xu Mu quickly grabbed Tang Ruobing, swiftly stepped on the ground, lifted Tang Ruobing up, and pushed her to the shore.

"Help! Help!"

"Xu Mu, save me!"

Tang Ruobing struggled with her limbs, her legs were very strong.

Xu Mu's lower abdomen ached from the kicks, and the kicks kept coming at little Xu Mu!
"Shut up!"

Xu Mu slapped Tang Ruobing's bottom, "Stop yelling!"

"You're kicking me to death."

Xu Mu supported her waist and put Tang Ruobing on the shore before letting out a long sigh of relief.

Tang Ruobing was holding Xu Mu's head and coughing violently.

"I...ahem!"

"I thought I was going to drown!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Tang Ruobing was truly terrified.

She held Xu Mu's head tightly, her voice a little hoarse.

You must have drunk a lot of water just now.

"Xu Mu, I thought I would never see you again!"

"That scared me to death! Swimming is terrifying!"

"You left without even telling me! I didn't even see you!"

"How could you do this to me? Even if you don't like me, you can't just leave me like this! I was so scared! Waaaaah!"

Tang Ruobing pressed Xu Mu's face between her legs, and could clearly see her bulging belly and the absolute territory between her swim trunks.

Xu Mu was completely unable to move.

Because his neck was trapped between Tang Ruobing's two long legs.

My head was being held down!

He couldn't even speak...

His lips had already touched Tang Ruobing's "absolute territory".

"Xu Mu, say something!"

"Are you mute?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Xu Mu was unable to speak at all.

Tang Ruobing showed no intention of letting go.

Left with no other choice, Xu Mu could only open her mouth and take a bite.

"what!"

"Why did you bite me? You bullied me, you abandoned me, and now you're biting me! I never want to talk to you again!"

"If I don't bite you, why will you let go of me? How can I speak then?"

Xu Mu looked up and could see Tang Ruobing's chin directly.

Because her A-rank weapon really couldn't block anything.

"I just went to buy two bottles of water, who knew you'd suddenly choke on water while swimming!"

"I just looked up and you weren't there. The swimming pool is so big, and I was all alone. I was scared... Don't you know I have a phobia of being alone?"

"???" Xu Mu rolled her eyes. "How should I know?"

"Xu Mu, you need to apologize to me!"

You can't leave me alone again!

"I'm really scared!"

Tears welled up in Tang Ruobing's eyes.

Xu Mu originally wanted to be sarcastic, but when he saw that Tang Ruobing was really crying, he realized that she was not.

He could only nod, saying as if coaxing a child, "Okay, okay, I won't walk alone next time!"

"I was wrong! I apologize!"

"That's pretty much it!"

Tang Ruobing is easy to coax.

Seeing that Tang Ruobing was feeling a bit better, Xu Mu climbed out of the water, picked up the two bottles of drinks he had thrown on the ground, and handed them to Tang Ruobing. "Have some water! You must feel unwell after drinking so much pool water!"

"How did you know?" Tang Ruobing took the scream and asked curiously.

"When we learn to swim, when haven't we swallowed water? It's a very normal thing."

"Won't that cause diarrhea?"

"Who knows? It depends on your own stomach! I don't feel anything! It's no different from tap water, just raw water... Besides, this pool has a water circulation system, so it shouldn't be a big problem. I'm just worried that someone might have peed in the pool before... then I don't know!"

"Huh?" Tang Ruobing's eyes widened immediately when she heard someone urinating.

I feel inexplicably nauseous.

He lay face down on the ground, raised his buttocks, and began to vomit.

Xu Mu found it amusing, but still squatted down beside her and patted her back.

After Tang Ruobing vomited for a while, the two of them lay down on the beach chairs next to the swimming pool.

"Xu Mu, I want to eat crayfish, can you peel some for me?"

"no!"

"why?"

Why do you always treat me differently from them? Am I really that disliked by you?

"That's not it..." Xu Mu remained calm, glancing at Tang Ruobing before explaining, "I just feel I don't want to get involved in so many romantic entanglements!"

"I told you, I really don't mind. What do you mind? Don't you all like to have a harem of three thousand, like the emperors of ancient times? Besides, I'm so beautiful!"

"I'm probably a bit hypocritical!" Xu Mu admitted frankly.

"Fine! You're the male bitch!"

"Heh!" Tang Ruobing retorted angrily, "What do I lack compared to Wang Mengyan and Wang Ruofei? I have money! I can serve you! I can learn everything."

"How about we go to a hotel tonight?"

"Please, just be a jerk to me!"

"I really enjoy having the upper hand! I may be a jerk, but I'm not a jerk to everyone!"

Xu Mu's feelings for Tang Ruobing are rather complicated.

Honestly, it's quite surprising that a girl would be so proactive in asking you to sleep with her and go to a hotel with her.

Xu Mu had no reason to refuse!

But... it's precisely because of his relationship with Tang Mochen that he feels this burden... If he didn't know anyone and encountered such a contrasting rich woman who was also a bit mentally unstable, to be honest, Xu Mu could have made him lose his mind, and even tricked him out of the more than ten million in his account!

However, it's precisely because of Tang Mochen's connection that...

He didn't want things to get messy later... The main problem was that Tang Ruobing's personality and emotions were hard to control, and she could easily have inexplicable episodes. What if Xu Mu cheated on her and exposed it everywhere?
Her affection for Xu Mu had a morbid, almost obsessive, element.

There is worship, and there is also the pleasure of masochism.

Unless Xu Mu maintains his domineering stance, Tang Ruobing could easily become a ticking time bomb...

But Xu Mu couldn't always be assertive, and he couldn't give her the love she wanted.

PUA?
Of course, but Xu Mu doesn't like doing that kind of thing!
Suppression is one thing, but Xu Mu disliked Tang Ruobing's aloofness in the first place. However, there was no need to make Tang Ruobing seem inhuman; this was already a psychological issue.

Xu Mu didn't want a perfectly good girl to become neither human nor ghost!
In his own novel, the male protagonist would probably just easily conquer them.

But this is life, not a novel; Xu Mu isn't that shameless.

Some things are off-limits.

If that's the case, Xu Mu will only look down on him...

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Where am I inferior to Sister Bai Xue, or to Wang Mengyan and Wang Ruofei?"

"And where do I fall short of Ye Muling?"

Xu Mu thought for a moment and replied, "I have a deal with Sister Bai Xue. She treats me as an equal, and she's a very nice person, so I try my best to compensate her materially. Of course, I also have feelings for her!"

After all, feelings can develop over time, and that too is a kind of affection.

"Mengyan and Ruofei are my housekeepers at Yangjiashan. Their job is like this... To put it bluntly, I'm also paying for their services!"

"Even though I'm a scumbag, I've only cheated on three people!"

Tang Ruobing pressed on, "Then you can't cheat on me?"

"cannot!"
