NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 4 - You Change Faster Than Flipping a Book
Chapter 4: You Change Faster Than Flipping a Book
“A thousand and eight hundred?”
Mu Qingwu laughed, “Is that enough?”
“It should be enough.”
Xiao Yu felt a bit embarrassed.
But there’s nothing he can do about it during the internship period.
“Do you have a car?” Mu Qingwu asked.
“Umm… no.” Xiao Yu answered honestly.
“What kind of car do you like?” Mu Qingwu continued to ask.
“What kind of car?”
Xiao Yu was a bit puzzled, “What do you mean?”
“Look.”
Mu Qingwu pointed to the supercar in the garage, “Bugatti Veyron limited edition, do you like it?”
Xiao Yu: ???
“It’s yours.” Mu Qingwu said calmly.
Xiao Yu: …
“Do you have a house?” Mu Qingwu asked with a smile.
Xiao Yu shook his head blankly.
He still hadn’t recovered from Mu Qingwu’s words.
A supercar, just like that?
Why does this extravagant tone feel so familiar?
Like he’s seen it in some novels?
So generous?
Big sis, are you for real?
“I’ll give you one.” Mu Qingwu smiled.
Are you the devil… Xiao Yu’s view of her changed.
He was completely baffled by Mu Qingwu.
“Now let’s get back to our talk.”
Mu Qingwu looked at the stunned Xiao Yu, “Do you still think 28 years old is old?”
So you were waiting for me here?
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yu wanted to shout: So what if I say you’re old?
But…
She offered too much!
After a long time.
“Sorry.”
Xiao Yu shook his head and turned to walk toward the villa’s door.
This wasn’t him being pretentious.
As a transmigrator, Xiao Yu had long figured out how to make money and become rich.
He even had a system.
Not to mention supercars and houses.
What’s the point of giving more?
From the first day he transmigrated to this world.
Xiao Yu had decided to give up the dull, yet flashy life of a rich person…
Mu Qingwu looked at Xiao Yu’s back in surprise.
She was both curious and found it unbelievable.
Although money isn’t everything, at her current position, she knew very well.
There are very few problems in this world that money can’t solve.
For example, this big boy.
Sometimes a woman’s curiosity is very strong.
The more they can’t understand something, the more they want to figure it out.
“Are you just going to leave like that?”
Mu Qingwu changed her strategy, no longer being forceful, her voice softened, like a weak girl.
Sure enough, Xiao Yu stopped in his tracks.
He can’t resist soft tactics?
Discovering a new continent, Mu Qingwu’s eyes lit up.
Her expression changed quickly, biting her lip, showing a bit of stubbornness.
Like someone who’s been wronged but doesn’t speak out.
Just staring at you with wide eyes.
Women, born actresses!
When Xiao Yu saw Mu Qingwu like this, he was dumbfounded.
What’s going on?
Who are you showing that expression to?
Did I owe you a loan that’s due?
“What exactly do you want?”
Xiao Yu couldn’t resist her gaze and compromised.
“My mom keeps pushing me to find a boyfriend and get married.”
As she spoke, Mu Qingwu dropped the act and genuinely looked a bit aggrieved, turning her head to look at the flowers in the garden.
“And then?”
Xiao Yu suddenly felt a bit of a kindred spirit.
“I don’t want to find one right now… but I can’t stand her crying in front of me all the time.”
Mu Qingwu sighed, “Help me, will you? I wasn’t planning on making you my real boyfriend anyway.”
Got it… Xiao Yu rolled his eyes.
You want to use me as a tool, right?
“When we were in the restaurant, you also realized I wasn’t sincerely looking for a blind date?”
Xiao Yu smiled, “Why didn’t you tell me beforehand?”
“Why should I tell you beforehand?”
Mu Qingwu turned her head, looking at Xiao Yu, once again showing that stubborn, wronged look.
I see through your act, don’t think I can’t tell you’re acting, back in my previous life I was in criminal investigation… Xiao Yu rolled his eyes again, “Alright, stop acting.”
Mu Qingwu was surprised, did he see through me?
She stopped acting and stared directly at Xiao Yu.
“You are faking it, right?”
Xiao Yu thought for a bit, feeling that this might be a good idea, “Alright, when I need your help, you’ll act with me. When you need my help, I’ll pretend to be your boyfriend. Otherwise, we mind our own business?”
“Okay.”
Mu Qingwu nodded, “Give me your phone number.”
They exchanged phone numbers.
“Goodbye.” Mu Qingwu saw him out.
Xiao Yu: …
You change faster than flipping a book.
She played with my feelings, hurt my dignity, and now she’s kicking me out. Tears welled up in his eyes.
Is it so hard to be a decent person?
***
Leaving the villa, walking out of the neighborhood.
The miserable Xiao Yu had to take a cab home.
Right, how should I explain today’s blind date to my mom?
Thinking of Mu Qingwu, Xiao Yu’s eyes lit up.
I’m also someone with a girlfriend now.
Even if it’s fake, mom would be overjoyed.
On the way home, Xiao Yu suddenly smiled bitterly.
I forgot to ask what Mu Qingwu does for a living.
Forget it, I’ll call and ask later.
As soon as he thought about calling, his phone rang.
After answering the call, Xiao Yu suddenly clenched his fists.
He got assigned.
To the Criminal Investigation Division!
