Judging from his tone, it seemed like he was going to settle old scores.
He Qian Shan knew he was in the wrong and averted his eyes guiltily. "It's me."
Wu Peng Peng looked at his pitiful expression like a small animal, and her heart softened for no reason.
She quickly shifted her gaze, trying hard not to lose her bottom line under his silent act of cajoling.
"I didn't expect you to be so amazing. You're the CEO of a listed company, an internationally renowned designer, a well - known jade carver, and a capable actor."
How did her ordinary eighteen - line boyfriend turn into a big shot in various fields?
Not only did the money - wasting artifact fail to help her squander money, but it had also invisibly increased her pressure to squander.
Wu Peng Peng was speechless. "Are you the male protagonist in a story where the hero has multiple hidden identities?"
Seeing that Wu Peng Peng was really a bit angry, He Qian Shan quickly tried to please her. "Don't be angry. I have a lot of collections. I'll give them all to you, okay?"
Hearing that he wanted to give her things at the drop of a hat, Wu Peng Peng quickly refused three times in a row. "No need! Don't give them to me! I don't want them!"
Why was she getting angrier even though he was trying to console her?
He Qian Shan was a bit at a loss. "Don't you like Ling Bi?"
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his face turned deathly pale. "You don't like me anymore?"
Seeing his sad expression, all of Wu Peng Peng's unpleasant emotions instantly vanished.
In an instant, she became that little foolish ruler without a bottom line again, only wanting to hug him in her arms, kiss him, and comfort him to cheer him up.
"Like doesn't necessarily mean possession!" She took the initiative to hold He Qian Shan's hand, and her voice softened. "Of course I like you. It has nothing to do with whether I want the things you give me or not."
He Qian Shan wasn't comforted. He seemed to think she was just perfunctory, and his expression became even sadder.
Wu Peng Peng's heart ached. She quickly leaned over and kissed the corner of his mouth. "Is there any difference between yours and mine?"
He Qian Shan already felt he was in the wrong. Wu Peng Peng not only wasn't angry but also took the initiative to kiss him. He quickly took the opportunity to back off. "No."
Seeing his brows relax, Wu Peng Peng couldn't help but smile.
"Since there's no difference, it's so troublesome to give things back and forth. Just keep them with you. When I want something, I'll just go and get it myself."
He Qian Shan thought about it carefully and found it reasonable, so he didn't insist anymore. "Okay."
Wu Peng Peng was finally able to avoid this situation. She let out a long sigh of relief.
He Qian Shan carefully observed her expression, afraid that she was wronging herself for his sake. "You're really not angry, right?"
Wu Peng Peng shook her head. "I'm not angry. My boyfriend is so amazing. What reason do I have to be angry?"
Just now, she had already figured it out. She liked He Qian Shan precisely because of his excellence. She couldn't blame him because of the money - wasting task.
Hearing this, He Qian Shan felt uncomfortable. "But you clearly look unhappy."
He really didn't mean to deceive her. At first, he thought it was fun and wanted to hide his identity to tease her. Later, he was busy helping her make money, so he forgot all about these things.
She must think that he didn't trust her, so she was angry.
A few days ago, the girlfriend of General Manager Xu, who had been in a relationship with him for six years, broke up with him because he had kept something from her.
He Qian Shan was worried that Wu Peng Peng was pretending to be okay on the surface and would seize the opportunity to break up with him later. Then he would be so wronged.
"I'm sorry." He loved her so much that he couldn't bear the pain of losing her. "I won't do this again in the future."
Looking at his appearance like a child who had made a mistake, Wu Peng Peng's heart melted completely.
She hugged He Qian Shan's waist and looked up at him seriously. "I've said that here with me, you always have the privilege of being forgiven. This will always hold true."
Although Wu Peng Peng had uncovered He Qian Shan's hidden identities, fortunately, it didn't have much impact on her money - wasting cause.
Wu Peng Peng pinned all her hopes on the world amusement park. Maybe because she had this on her mind, she woke up as soon as it was dawn.
He Qian Shan was still in his dream, looking as beautiful as a delicate porcelain.
Wu Peng Peng couldn't help but trace He Qian Shan's sleeping face with her eyes. Thinking that after completing this deal today, she would see this beautiful sight like a world - famous painting every morning for the rest of her life, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
She stared at He Qian Shan's sleeping face for a while, then quietly moved aside. Just as she was about to get up, He Qian Shan suddenly pulled her into his arms.
"Not going to look for a while longer?" He closed his eyes and rubbed his face against her neck. His voice was hoarse with sleep, sounding almost like an invitation to "commit a crime".
Wu Peng Peng blushed. She tilted her head and gently kissed his lips. Before He Qian Shan could react, she quickly got out of the quilt.
"I have an appointment, so I won't play with you." To prevent He Qian Shan from going with her, she had resorted to all sorts of flirting last night.
Seeing her shy look, He Qian Shan deliberately teased her. "Don't be in a hurry. I won't work overtime at night from now on. We have plenty of time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Peng Peng's face turned even redder. She quickly lowered her head and rushed towards the bathroom in a hurry, as if she would be caught back to bed if she was a bit slower.
After Wu Peng Peng got dressed and was just about to go out, Zhou Yang called.
They rarely contacted each other by phone. Wu Peng Peng thought he had some new requirements, so she answered the call. "General Manager Zhou, do you have other requirements? You can just modify the contract on your side. You don't need to discuss it with me."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then Zhou Yang's apologetic voice came. "Sorry, Miss Wu. I can't sign a contract with you."
"Ah?" Wu Peng Peng thought she had misheard. "What did you say?"
Wasn't he always eager to cooperate with her? Had someone snatched this project?
But this was a project that no normal person would take on!
"Miss Wu, I can't bear to deceive you anymore." Zhou Yang told the truth. "Our project is completely unreliable..."
"I think it's quite good." Wu Peng Peng interrupted him and tried to brainwash him. "No one has ever done this project before. If we succeed, we'll be the pioneers of a new world."
Zhou Yang asked, "Do you really think our project can succeed?"
Wu Peng Peng was taken aback. "… We can give it a try. Life is all about challenges. Don't give up. I support you! No matter how much money you need, it's okay. I'll definitely..."
"Wu Peng Peng." Zhou Yang gently interrupted her. "It's precisely because of you that I can't bear to deceive you anymore. Actually, those profit - making models were all copied from the Internet to deceive your money."
Why don't you just deceive me! Wu Peng Peng wailed in her heart. As a swindler, you don't need a conscience!
"I've never even conducted on - site inspections. I've never even left Yun Country in my life." Zhou Yang's conscience awakened. "You're too naive. Even as a swindler, I can't bear to deceive you."
You're the naive one!
Wu Peng Peng couldn't help but roll her eyes, but she still insisted. "General Manager Zhou, think about it again. I think as long as we work hard, we'll definitely succeed!"
Zhou Yang seemed not to hear her and just said to himself, "Someone told me that you're too kind. You believe whatever others say, and you always get hurt because of these things."
"I'm not naive." Wu Peng Peng couldn't tell the truth. This kind of explanation sounded completely unconvincing.
"Although you have a lot of money, you're too naive. If you keep going like this, the Wu family will be ruined by you sooner or later." Zhou Yang said earnestly. "I can't deceive you anymore. The world can't do without a naive person like you."
After saying that, he hung up the phone. Wu Peng Peng quickly called back, but Zhou Yang didn't answer.
Wu Peng Peng wanted to call again. At this time, the message alert sounded. She opened it and saw that it was a bank transfer message. Zhou Yang had returned all the money he had deceived from her.
The money she had finally managed to squander was all returned at once. Wu Peng Peng called Zhou Yang again, but he had blocked her.
Wu Peng Peng was so angry that she pulled up Zhou Yang's message and shouted. "You're the naive one. Your whole family is naive!"
"What's wrong?" He Qian Shan came out of the bedroom and heard Wu Peng Peng's bad tone. He quickly came downstairs. "Who made you angry?"
Seeing his worried look, Wu Peng Peng's anger subsided a lot. "It's okay. I'm just joking with Zhao Bu Fan."
He Qian Shan clearly didn't believe it and looked at her suspiciously.
Wu Peng Peng quickly changed the topic. "By the way, it's Uncle's birthday tomorrow. He wants to invite you to go with me."
Sure enough, He Qian Shan was distracted. He asked nervously, "What does Uncle like? I haven't prepared a birthday gift yet. Will he not like me..."
"Don't worry!" Wu Peng Peng took his hand. "As long as it's someone I like, he'll like them too."
