Volume 7: Mr. Love, Elite Lawyer, and Two Conjectures about Marriage Chapter 454: One Step Away from Billionaire
The next day, someone from Beijing Capital International Airport delivered his and Luo Yue's suitcases to Yuan Xudong's home. After calling Luo Yue, Yuan Xudong took her two suitcases and went directly to the Shangri-La Hotel to wait for her to get off work.
Sitting in the car, Yuan Xudong looked at the entrance and exit of the lobby on the first floor of Shangri-La Hotel. He was determined to win Luo Yue, and he wanted her to be his girlfriend willingly. After all, if the favorability reached 100%, the system would reward him 1 billion yuan. In order to get this astronomical reward and realize financial freedom as soon as possible, he had to please women when it was time to please them, without any hesitation.
After a while, seeing Luo Yue jogging out of the hotel, Yuan Xudong got out of the car and called her:
"Luo Yue, here!"
Seeing Yuan Xudong, Luo Yue hurried over and smiled breathlessly in front of him:
"I'm sorry, I got off work a little late. Did you wait for a long time?"
"No, I just got here too!"
Looking at the breathless Luo Yue, probably because she ran too fast, her slightly upturned and plump breasts kept rising and falling. Some sweat appeared on her forehead, and a few strands of hair were stuck on it. Yuan Xudong couldn't help but reach out his hand to tidy up her hair and said gently:
"Besides, I am willing to wait. No matter how long it takes, I am willing to wait for you. Aren't you touched?"
Faced with Yuan Xudong's overly intimate behavior, Luo Yue took a step back, avoiding his hand that was stroking her hair, blushing slightly and said shyly:
"Bah, I find you so shameless."
"Yes, yes, it's my shamelessness. Are you satisfied now?"
"Yeah, I'm satisfied!"
Looking at Luo Yue's sweet smile, Yuan Xudong smiled along with her and said:
"Let's go, let's go eat together, and I'll drive you back myself later, is that ok?"
"No, I have an appointment with someone else to look at the house later. You can go eat by yourself. Just give me the suitcase."
As she spoke, Luo Yue glanced at the Porsche Panamera that Yuan Xudong rented and said with a smile:
"Hey, is this car you rented?"
"You guessed it right. It really is the one I rented. I'll have to wait a few more days for the new car. I'll take you for a ride then."
After joking, Yuan Xudong looked at Luo Yue and said with concern:
"You haven't settled down yet?"
"Yes, the staff dormitory gave me a one-month buffer period, but I want to move out as soon as possible. The dormitory is really uninhabitable."
"How about this, where are you and the other person going to look at a house? I'll take you there first, and then we can have dinner together after we're done looking at the house?"
"No, it's quite far, I can go there by myself, you go eat first, where's my suitcase?"
"You just came back from abroad and you are not familiar with Beijing. You are unfamiliar with the place. Let me help you. Don't refuse my kindness, okay?"
As Yuan Xudong spoke, he opened the passenger door. He helped the still hesitant Luo Yue into the car and said with a smile:
"I've experienced the process of looking for a house. It's very tiring. If you waste time on the road, it will not be good for your work and life . Let me, an experienced person, help you. I will definitely help you rent the most suitable house in the shortest time."
"Well, thank you!"
"You're welcome!"
…
After arriving at the destination, Yuan Xudong and Luo Yue looked at several old houses together. These old houses were all very remote. Either the community environment was not very good and the transportation was inconvenient, or there was no elevator in the building, and the houses were very old. The only advantage was that the rent was much cheaper, but the price-performance ratio was not very high. It was far from the Shangri-La Hotel where Luo Yue worked, and it would be very inconvenient to live here. Yuan Xudong knew that if the budget was not very limited, Luo Yue would not choose to rent a house here.
After looking at the last house, Yuan Xudong and Luo Yue walked out of the community. Luo Yue said uncertainly:
"What do you think of that house?"
"I don't think it's a good idea. The house is too old, there's no elevator, no balcony, and the windows don't let in enough light. For a girl like you, living in an environment where you can't see the sky or the sun for a long time will have a very bad influence on you. No!"
"I don't think so either. I'll rent a place farther away. What do you think?"
"No, it's still not working. This place is far enough. If it's farther, you'll waste more time commuting to and from work. You work in a hotel, and you don't have enough time to rest. If you keep commuting back and forth like this every day, will your body be able to bear it in the long run?"
"That's true. If all else fails, we can just rent the one we just rented. What do you think?"
"Forget it, I'll help you find a house later. Let's go eat something first. There's a hamburger shop over there. Let's go!"
"All right!"
…
Sitting on a chair in front of the fast food restaurant, Luo Yue ordered two hamburger combos with Coke, one for her and one for Yuan Xudong.
While eating a hamburger, Luo Yue looked at Yuan Xudong and said with a smile:
"Sorry, I'll just fool around today. I'll treat you to a good meal once I find a house!"
"It's okay. Isn't this hamburger pretty good?"
"If we weren't in such a hurry, I wouldn't let you eat so badly!"
"What's so tragic about this?"
Yuan Xudong ate a hamburger with big mouthfuls and said with a smile:
"To be honest, there was a time when I was really miserable. That was when I was in college. I didn't have much money, so I worked outside. The hamburgers there were big and cheap, and I could eat a full meal for only five dollars. Then I ate hamburgers for several months. Since then, I have rarely eaten hamburgers. Eating them now reminds me of the old days, and it feels pretty good!"
"Don't you get tired of eating it every day?"
"Of course I was tired of it, but I had been eating instant noodles for several months and I couldn't eat it anymore, so I decided to change the taste!"
Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"You know what, in the first few days, I thought hamburgers were delicious, much better than instant noodles. But later on, it was a tragedy. I ate hamburgers twice a day for about five months. The taste was indescribable. I thought I would never eat another hamburger in my life , but it turned out not to be the case."
"Five months? You're really amazing. Are you broke or stingy?"
"On the one hand, I have no money, on the other hand, there is nothing to eat around. Apart from hamburgers, other things are even more disgusting. Forget it, I won't say anything more. There is nothing worth saying. The biggest lie in this world is suffering. You have to suffer more, and only those who endure the most suffering can become the best. And so on.
In fact, they are all lies. Suffering is suffering, and it has no direct causal relationship with a person's future. Some people are born in Rome, and some are born to be cattle and horses.
People born in Rome want their slaves to work hard and never complain, so they lie to them that they need to endure more hardships so that they can achieve something, etc. This world is made up of lies one after another, so we must be good to ourselves, love ourselves first, and then love others. Otherwise, if no one loves us, then we will be very pitiful, right? "
"What you said makes sense!"
"It's not just reasonable, it's very reasonable!"
"Just blow it!"
After rolling his eyes at Yuan Xudong, Luo Yue asked with a smile:
"Hey, do you feel that no one loves you? That's why you are so pessimistic and full of negative energy?"
"Yes, I just feel that no one really loves me, that's why I'm so pessimistic and full of negative energy!"
Having said that, Yuan Xudong looked into Luo Yue's eyes and asked:
"For example, do you love me?"
"Bah, I'm trying to enlighten you, please don't repay kindness with enmity, okay?"
"Your joke is not funny at all. In fact, I know you love me, but you just don't say it. I understand it all!"
"No, what do you understand? Why are you so narcissistic?"
"I'm so handsome, elegant, young, rich, and have a good temper. You must like me. I understand !"
"I understand you idiot!"
Rolling his eyes at Yuan Xudong who was talking nonsense in all seriousness, Luo Yue changed the subject and said:
"Don't be kidding me, seriously, what do you think of the first one? It's quite close to my hotel!"
"The one at the beginning?"
Yuan Xudong thought about it and said:
"That's a shared apartment. You want to move out of the dormitory so quickly, don't you just need an independent living space? And that neighborhood is too old, and all the electrical appliances in it should be eliminated. None of the houses you chose are suitable..."
After talking a lot, Yuan Xudong stopped and said, seeing Luo Yue staring at him blankly:
"I'm sorry, but you should be the one to decide how to manage your house. Am I being too long-winded?"
"No, ever since I went abroad to study, I've gotten used to making all the decisions on my own. Suddenly, someone is so thoughtful and considers things for me. I think it's quite new!"
"Do you remember when I said you were like a hedgehog who liked to prick people randomly?"
"Remember, what happened to the hedgehog?"
Looking at Luo Yue's big eyes with distinct black and white, Yuan Xudong continued:
"The hedgehog is covered with thorns, which makes people afraid to approach it, but its purpose is to protect itself from being hurt by others. It makes people feel distressed. I think it lacks a sense of security, and it must hope that someone can hug it and protect it!"
"What are you doing? I'm not a hedgehog, okay?"
After glaring at Yuan Xudong, Luo Yue choked up a bit while eating a hamburger:
"You're so annoying. You already have a girlfriend, but you still care about others so much. Are you the central air conditioner?"
"Don't move!"
"what?"
"Don't move!"
Seeing the sauce on the corner of Luo Yue's mouth, Yuan Xudong reached out to wipe it off for her and said with a smile:
"Okay, eat quickly, and I'll take you to see the house after you finish eating!"
"rogue!"
Luo Yue looked up at Yuan Xudong, then quickly lowered her head, muttered something, and quickly finished the rest of the hamburger, blushing and shyly saying:
"I'm done eating, let's go, where are you taking me?"
"You'll know when you get there, let's go!"
…
"Come in quickly, no need to take off your shoes!"
After eating the burgers, Yuan Xudong took Luo Yue directly to the mansion he had just rented. After putting her suitcase away, Yuan Xudong led the dazed Luo Yue to visit the house. He introduced:
"This is the house I just rented, 420 square meters. The house is quite big, I'll show you around!"
"This is an open kitchen. Come over here. What are you doing standing there?"
"This is the laundry room, where we wash and hang clothes. This is a small bedroom, the nanny's room, and this is the study!"
"This is the dressing room. Then there is the master bedroom and balcony with the best view in the whole house. This large balcony connects the master bedroom and the living room outside!"
"Then there is the second bedroom, bathroom, toilet, and several guest rooms..."
After taking Luo Yue on a tour of the house, Yuan Xudong said directly:
"To be honest, it would be a bit of a waste of housing resources for me to live alone in such a big house. If you trust me, we can rent it together. What do you think?"
"I can't afford to rent such a nice house, and I can't even share it with someone else. Thank you, but it's not necessary!"
After looking at Yuan Xudong, Luo Yue turned around and was about to leave.
"Thank you for accompanying me to look for a house for such a long time. If you have nothing else to do, I will go back first!"
"Wait a minute!"
Seeing Luo Yue turning around to leave, Yuan Xudong grabbed her wrist and said:
"Did I do something wrong? I have no other intentions. I just want to help you solve the troubles I caused you with the house as soon as possible."
"It has nothing to do with you. It's a matter of my own principles!"
Luo Yue mustered up her courage and looked at Yuan Xudong and said:
"I know you want to help me, but I can't just accept your help with a clear conscience. I like shopping in supermarkets because the prices of everything in supermarkets are clear at a glance. I can clearly weigh what I can afford and what I don't have to consider. I am afraid of those vague things, such as debts of favor. I don't want to cause trouble to others. Do you understand me?"
"I understand. I don't want to cause trouble to others, but you are an exception. Because to me, you are not someone else. If I want to trouble you with something, are you willing to help me?"
"Of course I'm willing to help you, but I..."
Seeing Luo Yue hesitating and unable to speak, Yuan Xudong said directly:
"Well, since you like things with a price, then as long as you are willing to move in, you can decide on the rent and I will decide on the rent, okay?"
Seeing that Luo Yue just looked at him without saying anything, Yuan Xudong continued:
"This house has a good environment, convenient transportation, and is close to where you work. Do you have any concerns?"
"How about this? I only need the small bedroom and the living room. I don't need the other rooms. I'm still an intern and my salary is very low. I can only afford three thousand in rent."
"Three thousand is enough. Also, you get to live in the master bedroom with the best view. You can use every room in this house!"
Without waiting for Luo Yue to refute, Yuan Xudong decided directly:
"Okay, it's settled. I'm going to take a shower first. There are two bathrooms in total, one for each of us. You should also take a shower and go to bed early. Good night!"
"Well, good night!"
…
Ding, the system prompts that it has been detected that Luo Yue's favorability has greatly increased. This time the favorability has increased by 20 points. The current favorability is 80. The system reward funds of 2 million yuan have been received.
Ding, the system prompts that when the heroine's favorability reaches 80, the other party will fall in love with the host involuntarily.
The host currently has a list of cash assets:
【164.84 million yuan】
