I really don't want to date a girl addicted to the internet!

"Nonsense, why wouldn't I tell you?" Lin Xuanqi said irritably.

"So you even told her about our bet?" The boy's expression turned strange.

Lin Xuanqi was silent for a second, then got annoyed and glared at him, "What nonsense are you thinking? How could I possibly tell her something like that? Of course I only told her that I gave you ten million in investment."

"That's good, otherwise it would have been too awkward." The boy breathed a sigh of relief in an exaggerated manner.

"Ha, you actually know what embarrassment is? I thought you were so thick-skinned that you would never care." Lin Xuanqi sneered, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Not at all, I've always been a very shy person."

“You’re shy? If you’re even remotely shy, then there’s no one in this world who’s shameless.” Lin Xuanqi laughed.

"Sigh, you're prejudiced against me." The boy shook his head and sighed, then became restless. "Speaking of which, Xuanqi, I won the bet again this time, right?"

"What bet? I don't know, I've never even heard of it. Honey, were you having a nightmare?" Lin Xuanqi looked genuinely bewildered.

"Lin Xuanqi, you won't admit it, huh? If you won't admit it, I'll drive off the overpass right now and we'll both die." The boy gritted his teeth, making the car sway slightly at high speed.

Lin Xuanqi quickly grabbed the handrail on the door frame, her brows furrowing, her tone becoming stern, "Cheng Fei, don't do anything reckless, or you'll really get into a car accident!"

"Don't worry, I'm a super good driver, I guarantee there won't be any accidents." The boy patted the steering wheel.

"You wish! Do you want to die or not? Jokes aside, don't do this kind of thing to me again." Lin Xuanqi frowned and glared at him.

"Sigh, let's not talk about that. So, Xuanqi, did I win this bet?" The boy looked like he was determined to get back at him.

"You won, you won, are you satisfied now? You're just like a child, all you ever think about is winning." Lin Xuanqi said dismissively.

"So what's the stakes? Do you have amnesia? Do you need me to help you recover your memories?" The boy glanced at her sideways.

Lin Xuanqi's expression became unnatural. She remained silent for a moment as if she were having an internal struggle. Then, in a defiant and impatient tone, she said, "I remember it clearly, okay? Look at how anxious you are. You're asking around while we're still in the car. You're so pathetic."

"If you call Lin Xuanqi a loser for winning a bet, that's setting the bar too high. How many people in this world are truly successful?" the boy said, mimicking her earlier tone.

"Alright, stop babbling on. We're not going back to South Bay today. We're going to your place." Lin Xuanqi said in an annoyed tone.

"Huh? Why?" The boy was stunned.

442. Cheng Fei achieved financial freedom.

"Just go when I tell you to. Why ask so many questions?" Lin Xuanqi covered her mouth and yawned.

"There has to be a reason, right?" The boy glanced at her.

"No reason. What's wrong? Are you feeling guilty? Is there something in your house that I can't stand?" Lin Xuanqi's smile turned terrifying.

The boy shook his head nonchalantly, "How could that be? You can go if you want, but I'm afraid my bed is too hard for you to sleep on."

"If I can't sleep on you, I'll just sleep on you," Lin Xuanqi snorted.

"Of course you can, but I don't recommend it."

"Is there anything I don't recommend?" Lin Xuanqi asked, puzzled.

"It might be harder than a bed," the boy said seriously.

Lin Xuanqi was stunned for a moment, then seemed to laugh in exasperation. She took a deep breath, lowered her head, and pinched the bridge of her nose. "Cheng Fei, I really can't understand what you're thinking all day long. Can't you be serious in front of me?"

"I'm being very serious. I'm stating the facts, and ultimately it's your problem. I advise you to reflect on your actions and stop trying to seduce me like this." The boy's expression was quite earnest.

"How did I seduce you?"

"Your breathing over there is seducing me."

"I give up, you're crazy." Lin Xuanqi rolled her eyes at him. "Alright, let's get down to business."

"Okay, please go ahead." The boy nodded, looking ahead.

"You made eighteen million this time, how do you plan to spend it?"

"I'll buy a Lamborghini first," the boy said without hesitation.

"Lamborghini my foot! You're still thinking about your crappy supercar? Is the car I bought for you really that hard to drive?" Lin Xuanqi raised an eyebrow.

"That's not what I meant. I just had nowhere to spend my money. When I was a kid, I saw magazines and thought supercars were really cool. Now that I have money, of course I want to buy one to play with." The boy looked nostalgic.

"Buy my foot! You're not allowed to buy it!" Lin Xuanqi's tone left no room for argument.

"Why?" the boy asked, puzzled.

"Because I don't want to sit," Lin Xuanqi said, emphasizing each word.

“If you don’t want to sit, there are plenty of other people who will…” the boy muttered in just the right volume.

Lin Xuanqi laughed instead of getting angry, "Cheng Fei, say that again, are you looking for death?"

"Just kidding. If you don't like it, then don't buy it. It's just that I finally earned my first pot of gold, so I have to spend some money, right?"

"Save my ass! My mother subscribed to 100 million for you, and you have to invest 5 million in return. How much are you left?"

"There's still thirteen million left."

“I’ll also subscribe for 100 million for you.” The girl changed her sitting posture and crossed one leg.

"Huh?" The boy asked in surprise. "Is it necessary? Xuanqi, if you have a hundred million, just give it to me directly. Why do this? It's too formal."

"You wish! Subscribing for 100 million isn't enough to give you face? In the fund management industry, many newcomers have to beg for help to even reach the 10 million threshold, and you come in with 200 million right away." Lin Xuanqi crossed her arms in front of her chest and raised her chin.

“That’s true, but I’m worried that my model can’t manage such a large amount of funds yet. It needs time to optimize. How about you hold off on giving me this 100 million?” the young man said sincerely.

Lin Xuanqi laughed gleefully, "You shamelessly called yourself a genius in front of my mother. Are you just reluctant to part with your investment money, or are you feeling guilty, Cheng Fei?"

"I think so. If you give me another 100 million, I'll have to invest 10 million. If I accidentally bring in another 100 or 200 million, wouldn't my entire fortune be insufficient?"

Lin Xuanqi couldn't help but laugh when she saw his worried face. "Hey Cheng Fei, do you really think money is all you need? You've even managed to snag a hundred or two hundred million without even realizing it. Besides the Lin family, who would trust a nobody like you to manage hundreds of millions of funds?"

"Who can say for sure? I've talked to quite a few girls at Yinghua before, and they've shown a lot of interest in my fund investments."

"Cheng Fei." Lin Xuanqi suddenly smiled sweetly, staring at his face.

"Oh, what's wrong?" The young man driving took a moment to turn his head and look at her.

"Let me remind you, you can be friends with any of those girls, including Kong Siyuan, Gu Xuan, Lu Shuyao, and Shen Xi. I have no problem with that. But if I find out that you have any unclear relationships with them, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The boy was surprised, "Xuanqi, you know so much about this, are you spying on me?"

"I'll keep an eye on you, you think I don't know them? I know your temper. Would you even bother with someone who doesn't have a background like them?" Lin Xuanqi looked like she knew the boy inside and out.

"Xuanqi, don't make me sound so materialistic. Among all the young ladies in Yinghua, I only like you. Do you really think I don't have any feelings for you at all?"

"Yes, it's the kind of feeling that's always trying to crush me and kill me." Lin Xuanqi sneered.

"This is love."

"Love you my foot!" Lin Xuanqi glared at him. "Besides, weren't you with Shen Xi in the beginning?"

"Who told her to be so easily fooled, that self-righteous, idealistic young lady?"

"So am I the second easiest to fool?" Lin Xuanqi's smile became even brighter.

"Xuanqi, if you're the second easiest to fool, then I reckon the hardest one will never find a partner in their entire life." The boy shook his head.

"So you were just lying to me, weren't you?" The girl's smile remained unchanged as she stared at him even more intently.

"Xuanqi, I think this kind of topic is boring. Actually, I have a question: how much personal wealth do you have right now?"

"Why are you asking this?" Lin Xuanqi asked, puzzled.

"If you have tens of billions in liquid funds, how about giving me a few hundred million to play with?"

Lin Xuanqi let out a cold laugh, "Cheng Fei, I thought you were asking me to give you a few eggs? You wish! If you want money, earn it yourself. Let me remind you, if you lose this 100 million, I'll let you experience what it's like to be verbally abused by investors."

"Sigh, so heartless." The boy shook his head in disappointment.

"You're kidding me. I was thinking of lending you the ten million you made in the bet and not having to pay it back, as a reward for winning first place in the game. But it seems I should forget about it." Lin Xuanqi rolled her eyes and turned her face away from him.

"Never mind what I said, I love you, Xuanqi, you're so kind." The boy's tone became affectionate in an instant.

"Loving me is useless now, just give me my money back." Lin Xuanqi said irritably.

"I won't pay it back." The boy's eyes were even more determined than when he took on three opponents at the school sports meet.

"Cheng Fei, am I throwing good money after bad?" Lin Xuanqi turned her head, her eyebrows twitching with laughter.

“I’m a dog to you, woof.” The boy said without hesitation.

"Can't you have any shame, Cheng Fei?" Lin Xuanqi was stunned.

"What's the point of saving face in front of your own wife?"

"I'm really impressed by you." Lin Xuanqi covered her forehead with her hand.

"So I'm really not going to pay back the ten million?"

"Take the money and roll it around."

Panamera returned to her rented apartment on Guang'an Street. Cheng Fei parked the car in the garage and took Lin Xuanqi's small hand as they went upstairs.

"There isn't even an elevator?" Lin Xuanqi was shocked.

“It’s an old neighborhood, a walk-up building, don’t you know that?” the boy asked, looking at her.

How should I know, do you think I care about you?

"Tch, so arrogant."

443. Cheng Fei scolded Lin Xuanqi.

"You're so arrogant, what floor do you live on?" Lin Xuanqi stood at the top of the stairs, hands on her hips, looking up.

It was already dark, and the dilapidated stairwell was pitch black, making her feel inexplicably uneasy.

"Fifth floor." Cheng Fei walked forward and clapped his hands to turn on the motion-activated light.

"It's exhausting." Lin Xuanqi followed.

"Climbing stairs is good for physical and mental health."

"Climbing stairs makes your legs thicker."

"Hiss, that's true, that won't do."

"Cheng Fei, what are you doing?!"

"I'll carry you upstairs."

"Put me down! What if we run into someone?"

"It's alright, nobody here recognizes you as a senior executive at Lin's."

"Then put me down too, do you hear me!"

"I won't let go. You're my wife, what's wrong with me hugging you?"

"Who's your wife? That's nonsense!"

The boy and girl, pulling and tugging at each other, went upstairs and opened the door to their rented room.

"Wife, please come in." Cheng Fei gestured.

Lin Xuanqi walked into the house, stood at the doorway and looked around the clean but somewhat empty small living room, nodding, "It's alright, better than I expected."

"What are you thinking?" The boy closed the door behind her.

"It's a doghouse, what else could it be...?!" Lin Xuanqi's malicious smile was barely out of her mouth when it was covered from behind.

"Xuanqi, you can't escape now." The boy's malicious voice rang in her ear.

The girl's pupils contracted.

Then, the quiet rented room was filled with the sound of thin fabric being torn.

The haughty girl with cascading black hair was unable to move, her mouth covered and her hands clasped behind her back.

Her eyes widened at first, then gradually narrowed. Her slender waist slumped down as she lost all resistance, and her long, shapely legs, encased in semi-transparent black pantyhose, came together in a pigeon-toed position as she stood on tiptoe, her whole body leaning forward and losing its balance.
