After I washed off my heavy makeup, the aloof CEO regretted it

One billion?

Geng Yuchen's eyes slowly fell on the girl's face.

Thinking of the huge gap between the number in his bankbook and one billion, he couldn't help but lower his eyes.

He pursed his thin lips, feeling envious and jealous.

I don’t know who will be so lucky in the future.

If you can marry her by proposing a billion, that person will really make a profit.

"One billion..."

Longlong scratched his forehead and repeated it in a low voice.

He had no idea about the amount of money, but he vaguely felt that it was quite a lot. He counted it with his little fingers for a while, and finally agreed, "Okay, I'll ask dad to ask. When I have the result, I'll ask Teacher Geng to tell you. "

Gu Nian nodded: "Okay, I'll trouble you then."

The child is a good child and very warm-hearted.

Moreover, people with good skills are bold and dare to agree to anything.

It's a pity that she doesn't need a boyfriend.

Even if you want to get married one day, you can wait until you get back and you will never find it here.

Geng Yuchen glanced at Longlong and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

To ask him to convey this kind of thing, this kid is simply dreaming.

Longlong waved to Gu Nian and said reluctantly: "Then I'm leaving. Goodbye, sister!"

Gu Nian nodded slightly: "Goodbye."

Looking at Longlong's running back, Geng Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief silently.

The little light bulb is finally gone.

He lowered his head, put one hand into his arms, took out a delicate small box from the inner pocket of his clothes, and handed it over with both hands:

"This is that earring. Please confirm it and see if it's correct."

Originally, the thing was wrapped in a handkerchief, and then it was changed to a cardboard box.

Later, Geng Yuchen felt that it looked very inappropriate to put this expensive jewelry in a cardboard box.

So I went to a jewelry store, bought a velvet jewelry box, and put the earrings in it.

In this way, it will be much more pleasing to the eye.

He didn't know when the call would come, and he was worried that it would take time to go back to get it, so he kept the small box in his arms every day.

Today, I can finally hand it over to her.

At this moment, Geng Yuchen felt a sense of relief in his heart, but also mixed with a bit of feeling of loss.

She was relieved because the things she picked up finally returned to their original owners and could play their role again, adorning her ears.

He felt sad because whenever he thought of her recently, he couldn't help but take out this earring, hold it in his palm and look at it quietly for a while, and his mood would become calmer.

After returning it to her today, the most effective way to ease the pain of lovesickness is missing.

When I think about her again in the future, I can only do it.

Gu Nian took the velvet box, opened the lid, glanced at it, and nodded:

"Yes, thank you."

After that, he put the things into his coat pocket.

Geng Yuchen shook his head: "You're welcome, this is what I should do."

Now that the earrings have been returned to their original owners, the purpose of this meeting has been achieved.

However, it was a rare opportunity to meet him, so he couldn't bear to say goodbye.

The man stood silently, staring down at the gravel on the ground, trying hard to think of an excuse to keep her by his side for a while longer.

Although Geng Yuchen also knew that what he was doing was tantamount to boiling water and drinking doves to quench thirst. Even if he kept her for a long time, it would be temporary. This girl would never belong to him, but he still couldn't help but think like this. Do.

If... he asked her to buy her a cup of tea, wouldn't it seem presumptuous and inappropriate?

Being rejected is a trivial matter, but it would be too bad if I was afraid of wasting too much time on others and causing resentment.

However, I remember she said on the phone that she seems to be free tonight, how about giving it a try?

Geng Yuchen pursed his lips and was about to speak when he heard the girl say calmly:

"This time, I've caused you trouble, so I'll treat you to dinner!"

The man suddenly raised his head, a trace of joy dancing in his eyes.

He nodded quickly at first, but then shook his head.

Gu Nian blinked, unable to understand this inconsistent behavior, so he asked quietly:

"inconvenient?"

"No."

Geng Yuchen denied it without hesitation. Worried that she would misunderstand him, he unconsciously speeded up his speech, "I want to go, but I don't want you to invite me."

Of course, he could only wish to have dinner with her.

But no matter how useless he is, he is still a man and there is no way he can be treated by girls.

What's more, this is not an ordinary girl.

She saved his life and made him fall in love. In his heart, it is a very special existence.

He can rely on her for everything else.

Only the settlement of accounts must be done by him.

Hearing this, a flash of understanding flashed in Gu Nian's eyes.

understood.

The male protagonist has a strong self-esteem and cannot accept treats from others.

All right! Anyway, she came with a purpose, and the reason for eating was to talk about that matter. As long as the invitation was successful, it didn't matter how she settled the bill.

Based on this consideration, she decided to comply with his wishes:

"Okay, let's do AA then!"

"Everyone has to pay his own way when eating with his savior..."

Geng Yuchen pondered for a moment and asked slowly, "In your eyes, am I such an ungrateful miser?"

I remember she said last time that he would not be allowed to mention that matter again, but how could he not mention it after receiving so much kindness from others?

After hearing this, Gu Nian couldn't help but be speechless and didn't know what to say.

Although unlike the original owner, she herself is not a rich woman, her family conditions are not bad.

In addition, she often participates in boxing competitions, and the prize money for first place is very generous, so when she goes out to eat with her classmates and friends, she usually pays the bill.

Subconsciously, there is no concept of asking others to treat you.

As soon as Geng Yuchen said there was no need to invite her, he naturally thought of AA.

She had read the entire book in detail, and of course she knew that the male protagonist repaid his kindness, was frugal but measured, and was not a stingy person.

However, this secret cannot be told.

So "I think you are" and "Of course you're not" are both inappropriate responses.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Nian finally said:

"Don't think too much about it. This is a matter of my habits and has nothing to do with you."

"I understand."

Geng Yuchen opened his thin lips and spoke lightly.

His dark eyes were filled with a bit of dejection, "Just now my benefactor said that when discussing marriage, he attaches great importance to the other party's financial ability.

At the time, I thought this only applied to marriage, but now I understand that it also includes friendships and various situations in life.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand that finding a poor husband will reduce the quality of life; when interacting with the poor, you have to worry about whether the other party has other intentions and whether it will cause unnecessary trouble, so it is right to be cautious.

I know that my financial situation is not worthy of inviting you to dinner. It is already very flattering that you agree to dine together.

Then listen to your benefactor and pay whatever you want! "
