Luo Beishi had already anticipated that Old Master Huo would give him a gift. He had given his eldest grandson over 100 billion, so it wouldn't be right for the Huo Family not to contribute something in return.

Great! Both buildings have been transferred to his name, and they're located in the heart of Capital! How much money is that?! Luo Beishi was already secretly delighted.

He also gave Huo Cixiao a full-body massage to relax his muscles and improve blood circulation.

Huo Cixiao only learned from Luo Beishi's phone call with the old man that Luo Beishi had actually given him another 8% of the shares. Had his cheap wife gone mad?

That's a hundred billion!

If he were still awake, he would have to think twice before taking it out, but his cheap wife just gave it away like that?

Hearing him talk to the old man on the phone about his birthday gift... Huo Cixiao's happiness deepened.

Hmph, the way my cheap wife pursues men is so unsophisticated.

But he's a proud man, so once he wakes up, he'll give his cheap wife even more! Otherwise, people will think she's paying him off, and that he's living off her.

Huo Cixiao started calculating again how much money he could give to his cheap wife.

When Huo Cifeng learned that Luo Beishi had actually bought the 8% stake, his face turned green.

It's Luo Beishi Luo Beishi again!

If I had accepted his confession back then, would everything have been fine?

Now every step he takes is a stumbling block.

It's like giving him 2 percentage points for free! I feel like I've been played again!

No, I need to find an opportunity to ask Luo Beishi directly why he's targeting him like this!

And why did she change her mind so suddenly, when she had acted like she loved him so much? Or did she really just see him as a substitute?

Impossible. How could Luo Beishi, who used to be so open and honest, possibly hide these feelings?

Seeing that Huo Cifeng remained silent, Assistant Zhang clenched his fists and quietly left.

He knew Huo Cifeng too well. From childhood to adulthood, as long as something was useful to him, threatened him, or if he saw something that was better than his, he would stop at nothing to snatch it.

Ironically, he loved this face, while Assistant Zhang hated himself for it.

Two days later, Huo Cixiao's birthday arrived. Luo Beishi was very fortunate that he could give Huo Cixiao shares; otherwise, he wouldn't know what to give him.

However, he gave away so many gems recently, so they can also be considered birthday gifts.

So he decided to bake a cake and then eat it himself.

The chefs were helping Luo Beishi in the kitchen and were surprised that the young mistress could make cakes.

Everyone understood that it was the eldest young master's birthday today. As expected of the madam, her love was truly profound.

Luo Beishi had already gotten used to this kind of gaze.

There was no other way; he needed a reason to be good to Huo Cixiao, and now his persona of "deeply in love with Huo Cixiao " was completely established.

Luo Beishi made a small cake for himself, took the candles, and went upstairs. It was 9 p. m., and he would celebrate Huo Cixiao's birthday by himself.

Suddenly, Huo Cixiao was caught off guard and heard the birthday song, "Happy Birthday to You..."

Huo Cixiao was increasingly questioning his life choices. What charm did he possess that made his cheap wife fall for him? He couldn't understand it.

He's always been the least liked person since childhood. Ever since his mother passed away, he's refused to celebrate his birthday with Uncle Chen because he doesn't want to be pitied.

Now, with his cheap wife, he seemed to be touched a little more.

Do you really like him that much?

Upon hearing the word "make a wish," Huo Cixiao snapped out of his thoughts.

If I were to make a wish, I would wish for my cheap wife to be safe and sound.

Luo Beishi blew out the candles, his lips curving into a wide smile. This was a cake he had made himself, and it was his first time making one, and it was a success!

Since it's a skill bought from the system anyway, spending a little money is no big deal.

Huo Cixiao heard Luo Beishi eating cake beside him. Although it was very faint, he could only perceive the outside world through his ears, so he became extremely focused.

Hmph, even the sound of her eating cake is so cute. Damn it, his cheap wife is tempting him again.

Outsiders are also paying close attention to what's happening inside the villa, so many people are selling information in exchange for money.

They would betray anyone, no matter how trivial, because they believed they wouldn't get caught unless they committed murder or arson, so they were very bold in contacting the outside world.

Luo Beishi knew that these minor problems were unavoidable, but it was alright, he didn't care.

So even a small thing like #Luo Beishi makes a cake to celebrate Huo Cixiao's birthday# can become a trending topic.

Netizens are envious; it's another day of being jealous of Huo Cixiao. Being handsome has its advantages.

[Ahhh, I'm really going crazy, I wish I were the one lying down!]

[Top-tier tycoon, Luo Beishi can now obtain this title]

[Oh my god, even though Luo Beishi is far away from me, I feel like his life is very close to mine.]

[So even the wealthy bake their own cakes to celebrate their loved ones' birthdays!]

I'm so envious, I'm going crazy!

As a result, more and more people online became cynical about Luo Beishi's true identity, and more people questioned where Luo Beishi's money came from.

They started frantically tagging the police, demanding an explanation.

However, there was no response, and the snowball kept growing, but no one came forward to explain. Under pressure, the police had no choice but to respond on their official blog: Mr. Luo's account is normal and there is no illegal activity.

This was the only response the netizens received. Although they were very unwilling, since the police had already said so, they could only let the matter drop.

Luo Beishi also saw it, which wasn't surprising. What surprised him was that they had waited so long to get jealous of this.

"Honey, the post-production for the radio drama is finished. The staff worked day and night recording it; they were so hard-working. We should cherish the time we have listening to it."

Huo Cixiao: "..." Okay, fine, cherish it then. Besides, what did he not listen to properly? It was clearly his cheap wife who interrupted him every now and then.

His cheap wife is always with him, and he seems to have gotten used to it lately!

Habits are terrifying! What will he do when he wakes up? Will he be reluctant to let his wife have him...? No, he won't.

"We've reached episode 13 now, with 20 episodes left. It's a very long series."

Huo Cixiao thought to himself that his cheap wife really didn't treat him like a vegetable at all; she was still talking to him. She could have remained silent, but...

Huo Cixiao, the genius of imagination, is at it again.

Luo Ming was furious when he learned that his adopted son was so rich.

His company has fallen into a slump. Although his son has tried to help him time and time again, he has been suppressed. He is now really powerless and looks ten years older, with a lot of gray hair.

He never expected to miss out on such a golden opportunity, but his son, who needed to carry on the family line, didn't want to marry a man.

He should have treated Luo Beishi better back then.

Luo Beishi has already given the Huo Family over a hundred billion yuan, and his heart is bleeding. If he treats Luo Beishi better, will Luo Beishi change his mind?

Perhaps he should have praised him more when he won the award in Luo Beishi.
