Chapter 473 - 324: So You’re the True Love of My Life (Part 3)
Li Peifeng said awkwardly, "Five million is enough, I need it urgently!"
"..."
Huang Tianxuan stared blankly at the man in front of her, sensing that he was serious. If she fulfilled the condition she just mentioned, would Li Peifeng really choose her?
For this, Huang Tianxuan didn’t feel happy. Instead, she felt disappointed, confused, and hard to understand: "I always thought you were someone who wasn’t materialistic. When I previously gave you gifts, you didn’t seem too thrilled, but now it seems... do you like my money more than me? Was that why you dated me before?"
After finishing, she denied herself: "No, that can’t be right. You were passive back then, I was more the active one. Besides, if you really loved money, you would’ve cut ties with them earlier and committed fully to me to climb the social ladder, so why still..."
Huang Tianxuan was utterly baffled!
Through their heart-to-heart bond, Li Peifeng sensed her emotions and felt a bit helpless, what a mess, this woman’s thoughts change too quickly, you set the terms, I agreed, and now you’re backing out?
Do I love your money or do I love you... isn’t that just crazy?
Crazy or not, you have to endure it. For the sake of fulfilling his grand ideals, Li Peifeng patiently explained, "Honey, I don’t love your money; I love you, and incidentally, I love the way you spend money on me. Besides, think about it, there’re plenty of women spending money on me, so why don’t I love them?"
"Because they don’t have as much money as I do."
Huang Tianxuan fiddled with her phone and sneered, "And don’t give me that crap. Dare to say you don’t love Wu Wenyue, Xu Manning, Zhao Qingge? Say it again in front of the camera!"
You’re so shrewd, is your phone your dad?
Li Peifeng cursed silently, grabbed the phone, turned off the recording mode, and continued, "Hear me out first!"
Huang Tianxuan crossed her arms and snorted, "Go ahead!"
Li Peifeng pondered, "It’s true that I’m not very concerned about money. Remember when we first met, you gave me gifts and bought me a million-dollar watch. I actually refused. Why? Because I didn’t have that deep a feeling for you back then, but now it’s different, I love you, so I don’t resist the material gifts you give me and gratefully accept them."
"..."
"Did you understand? In short, I’m not a gold-digger, and fundamentally it’s all because of love!"
Li Peifeng tried to brainwash Huang Tianxuan. The system’s rule states he can’t disclose the system, or he’d outright confess to make Huang Tianxuan willingly give him money.
But the brainwash wasn’t very effective!
"You’ve said all this and still can’t explain why, upon hearing I’d give you forty million, you instantly chose me without hesitation."
Huang Tianxuan calmly said, "Plus, I’m well aware that your feelings for me are definitely shallower than for those three, and choosing me is only because the condition I offered swayed the scales in your mind!"
Gone far? The power gone far?!
Damn it! Come back! Hurry back!! I want superpowers, I want to cultivate immortality, I want world peace! I want to liberate all humanity!!
The situation suddenly changed, the saying "a woman’s heart is as deep as the sea" is spot on. Even though Li Peifeng could read her heart, he had no choice, couldn’t dream of the 800 times lottery luck, trying to salvage his image in Huang Tianxuan’s eyes.
Mr. Li changed from his previous urgency and acted unusually calm, "Since you understand everything and offered such tempting terms, wasn’t this the effect you wanted? Why when I agreed, you’re unwilling?"
"Yes."
Huang Tianxuan pursed her lips, lowered her head in silence for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Peifeng, saying, "Because I regret it, most of my money comes from my family, it’s not earned by me, and using such means is also unfair to those three... Anyway, I hope you choose me because of me, not anything else, you get what I mean!"
I understand, I perfectly understand, you unpredictable woman!!!
Li Peifeng ground his teeth in his heart, but on the surface, he smiled and asked, "So?"
"So, no money."
Huang Tianxuan affirmed, "If you choose me, just choose me, I won’t give you money. I don’t want your reason for choosing me to have anything other than feelings for me. I’m going to compete with them on fair terms."
The more she spoke, the more determined Huang Tianxuan became, "Let emotional issues be handled emotionally, keep it pure, it’ll be better for everyone."
Your perfectist’s spirit needs to do a few more psychological consultations with the white-haired one!!
Li Peifeng rolled his eyes internally, but outwardly he retorted, "Even if my feelings for you are the shallowest among the three, you don’t mind if my probability of choosing you is the lowest?"
Huang Tianxuan answered indirectly, "Don’t abandon your love and hope. That’s a line from your novel."
"I copied it, the original’s from Nietzsche."
"That makes it more convincing."
"True."
Li Peifeng nodded slightly, then pursued, "And if, in the end, I don’t choose you, you won’t regret it?"
Huang Tianxuan looked at Li Peifeng for a long time, her facial expressions rapidly changing, and finally, she simply smiled slightly, without speaking.
That smile was pure, yet complex, containing a sense of release, courage to remain innocent despite knowing the world’s complexities, stubbornness in never compromising on ideal love, a touch of confusion towards an unpredictable future, and an unavoidable fear of losing something important.
[Ultimately, if love can’t prevail, who would want to live in this world?]
At this moment, Li Peifeng felt like surrendering to Huang Tianxuan’s expectations of love, yet he understood why he liked her.
After two seconds of silence, Li Peifeng hugged her tightly and kissed her.
"Sis, you got it wrong, my feelings for you aren’t even a bit less than for the other three."
"... You brat, say that again, I want to record it!"
"Forget recording, if you pick up the phone, I’m not saying another word."
"Scoundrel!"
Li Peifeng still felt a bit regretful, that great ideal in his heart, greater than the five-in-one, seemed temporarily unattainable.
All because this clueless woman won’t give me money!
Essentially, love craziness keeps this crappy world hanging by a thread!!
Or maybe, love craziness temporarily delayed the birth of a major villain, preventing the already crappy world from immediate destruction.
"Ring ring~~"
Huang Tianxuan’s phone alarm suddenly rang, it must be time for her meeting, and Li Peifeng slowly released her.
"So have you decided who you want to choose?"
Huang Tianxuan blushed, her left hand wiping the saliva from her mouth, her right hand turning off the phone alarm, her tone normal, "The seventh is almost here."
Li Peifeng sighed, "You work first, let me think some more."
Huang Tianxuan pursed her lips, stood up, and walked to the computer on the desk, then called out to Li Peifeng who was about to leave the room, "Wait a minute."
"What’s up?"
"Didn’t you just tell me those three words?"
Li Peifeng feigned ignorance, "Which three words?"
Huang Tianxuan cleared her throat, "I what you, those three words."
"And then?"
"Say it again."
Huang Tianxuan looked at him hopefully, "I want to hear."
"I..."
Li Peifeng hesitated, thought for a moment, and suggested, "How about this, a million per time, how does that sound?"
"..."
"Even a hundred thousand would do."
"Get out!!!!"
