Break up?
Did she really say it so casually?
The smile on Zheng Nanfeng's lips couldn't help but turn bitter, and he tightened his grip on the ring box in his hand.
He thought that when she wanted to keep him, it was just a guise of sugar - dating to express her admiration for him in a roundabout way. After all, neither of their families was short of money.
But he never expected that Ji Xiaoli simply wanted to keep him and spend money on him.
With a couple of creaking sounds, the ring box seemed to be dented a bit under his grip. Zheng Nanfeng was oblivious to it. He shrugged and said, "Since you've said so, then..."
Ji Xiaoli's breathing quickened.
"Then... let's just call it off."
Ji Xiaoli felt like she couldn't catch her breath, and her breathing became labored.
But Zheng Nanfeng didn't care about her anymore. He slowly got up, turned his back to her, and said, "Oh, as a final gesture of our relationship, you can pay the bill. Anyway, you want to spend money on me, right?"
Yes...
She just wanted to spend money on him.
Ji Xiaoli tightened her grip a bit more. She said stubbornly, "Zheng Nanfeng, you... think about it."
"Oh, okay," Zheng Nanfeng smiled, "I'll think about it."
As a result of his "thinking", he silently drove Ji Xiaoli back to her dormitory.
He was so polite that he no longer seemed like a lover to his sugar mommy, nor did it feel like the friendship between friends. It felt more like...
Ji Xiaoli was just a lady he had just met, and he was just giving her a ride home out of humanity.
"We're here."
Zheng Nanfeng parked the car steadily at the school gate.
Ji Xiaoli was still in a state of uneasiness. She lowered her head and started to unbuckle her seat - belt. When she pushed open the door and the evening wind rushed into her embrace, Zheng Nanfeng's voice came faintly from behind her:
"Do I need to return the things Ms. Ji gave me before?"
Ji Xiaoli's heart tightened suddenly.
If he returned them, would the good - luck points also...
"You don't want me to return them, do you?"
Zheng Nanfeng suddenly asked again, and his eyes turned to her faintly. Somehow, there was a look of scrutiny and pressure in his eyes.
"You... you... do as you like." Ji Xiaoli was obviously a bit flustered. "If you think it's troublesome, you don't have to return them."
Please... don't return them! You've already received them!
"Then... okay, I'll keep them."
Ji Xiaoli heaved a sigh of relief. The evening wind had already blown away the flush on her face. She got out of the car and was about to walk towards the dormitory -
"Ji Xiaoli, why do you want to spend money on me?"
Ji Xiaoli suddenly froze in place.
His voice was calm and clean, without any sign of interrogation, but it made Ji Xiaoli's heart tremble violently.
Why...
She couldn't just tell him that it was for the good - luck points!
But if she didn't tell him, and he didn't want her to keep spending money on him anymore, then she was doomed.
"The so - called sugar - dating you mentioned is actually just about spending money on me, right?"
After asking this question, Zheng Nanfeng let out a helpless bitter laugh.
He had thought that she had finally understood and wanted to be with him.
"Forget it." After waiting for a long time without getting a reply, Young Master Zheng's patience was worn out. He threw out a "If you don't want to say it, then forget it" and drove away with a roar of the engine.
Ji Xiaoli stood there, but her heart sank to the bottom of the lake bit by bit.
It was over. This sugar - dating relationship had ended like this. Although she had already earned enough good - luck points this week, what about next week...
Ji Xiaoli lowered her eyelids. She didn't feel good at all.
When she got back to the dormitory and casually scrolled through the Moments on her phone, she saw a post from Wei Yanlan, a selfie of her at the airport -
"Going back to China to see my daughter and son - in - law~~ [Smiley face]"
Ji Xiaoli fell back on the bed and pouted. "There's no son - in - law..."
She didn't know how she was going to explain all this when Wei Yanlan came back.
Sighing, Ji Xiaoli closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Probably because there were so many things on her mind, she slept very restlessly. She had a dream that she was actually walking towards the wedding hall with Zheng Nanfeng!
The wedding in the dream was extremely luxurious, known as the most luxurious wedding in history!
Ji Xiaoli was wearing a white tailcoat, holding a diamond ring as big as a pigeon's egg. She knelt down on one knee, looked at Zheng Nanfeng affectionately and asked, "Zheng Nanfeng, will you marry me?"
Zheng Nanfeng was wearing a pure white wedding dress, slightly lowering his head, with a blush on his face.
"I..."
But the guests sitting below began to cheer: "Marry her! Marry her!!"
"Kiss! Kiss!!! "
Zheng Nanfeng bit his lower lip, his face completely red. "Ji Xiaoli, I'd..."
Before he could say the last word "like", someone below shouted: "Don't marry her! She's a liar!!"
"She's only marrying you to spend money on you!!"
"She doesn't really love you! She just covets your good - luck points!!"
...
Ji Xiaoli suddenly sat up, breaking out in a cold sweat.
She looked blankly at the empty dormitory and blinked. Just now... it was just a dream.
Letting out a long breath, she rubbed her forehead. Of course, such a ridiculous thing couldn't be real.
Marry him? In the next life!
Ding! Her phone rang. An entertainment news article was pushed to Ji Xiaoli's phone -
Exclusive! How much money does the well - known screenwriter Ji Xiaoli really have!?
The moment Ji Xiaoli saw the news, her pupils dilated, and all her drowsiness disappeared instantly.
What did this mean? Someone was exposing her?
She clicked on the news nervously and found that it was really the case! A hot search had quickly climbed to the top of the hot - search list and was extremely popular. It was even marked with the word "explosive"! And the name of that hot search was quite eye - catching -
#Ji Xiaoli's Money#
In the hot - search, many secretly - taken photos had been posted. There were pictures of her going on a crazy shopping spree, carrying a bunch of luxury goods in her hands, pictures of her and Zheng Nanfeng going in and out of 4S stores and other high - end brand stores, and even a picture of them at the seaside restaurant last night -
"As you can see, within less than a week of sugar - dating Zheng Nanfeng, Ms. Ji has spent no less than seven figures on him!! It's not an exaggeration at all to describe the two of them as extravagant and dissolute!"
"And just yesterday, Ms. Ji even rented out the entire KTF restaurant for a grand proposal for our rich second - generation friends! Some of you may not be familiar with the KTF restaurant. Let me put it this way. If you're an ordinary person and want to dine at KTF, you have to make a reservation in advance, and even then, you may not be allowed in - after all, this restaurant is for the upper - class.
"And even if you manage to get in, you won't be able to get out without spending four, five, six or seven thousand. So, what does it mean to rent out the entire restaurant? Those of you who are good at math can do the calculation. Of course, those with a weak heart should not try..."
At this moment, Ji Xiaoli, whose heart was not very strong, was quickly calculating this terrifying figure in her mind.
Actually... she didn't remember how much she had spent last night.
Since Zheng Nanfeng's proposal, her mind had been in a complete mess.
But it seemed that her good - luck points had skyrocketed when she paid the bill...
