Secret Affections

"But Mr. Qian, why did you push the car down the ravine?" Li Xiaoman pressed.

To be honest, this is what she cares about most right now.

Does the car need a reason to be owned?

Qian Ye thought to himself that there was no need to explain to her. He knew what she was worried about—that he would have to pay her compensation. "It's the same with this car. Once it's broken, it's broken. Even if it's repaired, it won't be the same car it was before."

"So you'd rather not repair it than push it down the ravine?" Li Xiaoman interjected.

"Your understanding is successful, but that's not the point," Qian Ye said with a smile.

"Oh?" Li Xiaoman looked at him, puzzled, and suddenly realized that chatting with rich people was really exhausting. It was impossible to figure out what they were thinking.

But actually, she was overthinking it. That's the power of money. Qian Ye's words were simple and casual, but in her ears, they were magnified infinitely, as if they were something profound and difficult to understand.

It's comparable to the butterfly effect.

If Qian Ye had no financial power and was just an ordinary person with no influence over her, then no matter how profound his words were, they would likely be meaningless to her. She might even find them boring, nonsensical, or rambling, and wouldn't bother listening to them, let alone letting them enter her mind.

Qian Ye: "Money power."

If you have too much money, just burn it; you can't use it all, what else could it be?

They just didn't say it outright. ╰☆☆ Claws ☆☆╮

I think she'll understand.

"Rich people can be so capricious!" Li Xiaoman sighed inwardly. But she was unlucky because she was the one who crashed the car!

"But how much did your car cost? How can I compensate you?" Li Xiaoman asked worriedly. If she didn't get this sorted out, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight, or even later.

I knew this was what you were worried about; you've finally told the truth.

"A car?"

"Yes! I was the one who crashed it, and I'm willing to take some responsibility," Li Xiaoman said confidently.

Tears, once again, betrayed me and welled up in my eyes.

Qian Ye: "It's alright, I'm rich. A Rolls-Royce Phantom worth tens of millions is nothing to me."

"Besides, I never said I wanted you to pay for it, so there's no need to be nervous. I still have over thirty of these cars."

"Ah! There are still thirty-odd cars? "Li Xiaoman could hardly believe her ears. Thirty-odd cars? How much would that cost?

No! He... he just said he didn't want to pay anything, not a single penny. Did I mishear him, or did he say something wrong?

Li Xiaoman's heart leaped into her throat. "Mr. Qian, you said I don't need to pay for the damage to your car?"

Qian Ye shrugged. "Do you think I'm someone who likes to joke around?"

"No..." Li Xiaoman quickly shook her head. "I... I'm just very surprised. Are you really not planning to make me pay?"

"Of course, I, Qian Ye, always keep my word and never go back on my word. ♤🎃 ♥😳 As a businessman, I value integrity above all else. Otherwise, who would trust a liar, who would do business with a liar? My business has grown so large not through deception, but through honesty."

"Giving customers peace of mind and more security is the key to long-term success."

Qian Ye spoke, he patted Li Xiaoman's shoulder meaningfully and then touched her head. "So Li Xiaoman, don't take today's incident to heart. I mean what I say. Not only will I not make you pay a single penny, but I also won't hold you responsible."

"Let's pretend what just happened never occurred. Only heaven, earth, you, and I know."

this...

Li Xiaoman could no longer hold back; Qian Ye's words had truly touched her heart. She threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.

Waaaaah~

Qian Ye patted her back and pushed her soft body away from his embrace. "Let's go! It's dinner time, eating is important, or we'll miss dinner."

"Mmm." Li Xiaoman nodded and walked closely beside him. Her heart suddenly felt bright.

After walking for a while, Li Xiaoman suddenly said softly, "Mr. Qian, didn't you bring your girlfriend with you this time to climb Mount Tai?"

girlfriend?

Qian Ye pondered for a moment, realizing that the other person seemed to have a hidden meaning in their words; he didn't have a girlfriend in this Shrouding the Heavens World."

Besides, she should have seen it during the meal, so why ask?

"Girlfriend?" Qian Ye shook his head. "I've been working hard in Magic City all these years. I've probably been too busy, too busy to have any time for romance. Don't laugh at me, but I don't have a girlfriend."

No girlfriend? Then what's with Lin Jia? Just now, Lin Jia was sticking to his side the whole time, their actions were incredibly intimate, he even thought Mr. Qian was her boyfriend?

It seems I was overthinking things. Perhaps she, like me, was attracted to his status, position, and charismatic career, which is why she was so proactive!

Thinking this through, Li Xiaoman felt much more at ease. If she didn't have a girlfriend, then she certainly wouldn't have a wife and children, which gave her a greater chance of success.

"Why are you laughing?"

"Ah... I wasn't laughing!" Li Xiaoman quickly suppressed her confident demeanor.

For his sake, I must stay calm. I can't lose to Lin Jia. Although she's prettier, her figure is still inferior to mine. Besides, I'm an international student with a much higher degree and I'm far more outstanding—something she can't compare to.

Having returned from studying abroad, she can use her talent and abilities, along with the knowledge she has acquired, to better assist Mr. Qian in managing his business.

Therefore, if Mr. Qian were smart enough, he would definitely choose himself, not Lin Jia.

What's more, he just let me drive his car, and even if it gets damaged, he won't let me pay for it. It's a car worth tens of millions; even a scratch would cost a fortune to repair. But he didn't let me pay a single penny, which shows that he's already taken a liking to me.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to spend tens of millions on himself.

Actually, she was overthinking it. Qian Ye wasn't as complicated as she imagined. As for pushing the cart into the ravine, it simply meant that she was about to leave this world. Tomorrow, she would be traveling to the Big Dipper Star Domain with Ye Fan and Heavenly Emperor Ye in Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin. No matter how good the cart was, it wouldn't matter.

Since it was already damaged, pushing it down into a deep ravine was not a bad thing.

If it is ever discovered, it will surely become an antique.

"Mr. Qian... what do you think of me?" Li Xiaoman suddenly changed the subject.

Qian Ye: "?"

"I mean, do I have a good figure?" Li Xiaoman said, puffing out her chest, lifting her hips, and swaying from side to side like a fairy dancing wildly.

It has to be said that Li Xiaoman's figure is undeniably stunning; among all the classmates present, Li Xiaoman has the best figure.

Even Lin Jia, in terms of figure alone, is somewhat inferior to her.

She was just a little prettier than Li Xiaoman.

"Hmm, it's alright," Qian Ye said indifferently. To him, no matter how good Li Xiaoman's figure was, it was just so-so. Compared to the Witch and the Fairy Yue Chan, she wasn't even in the same league.
