Growth-type Super Rich

Yan Shen fell silent upon hearing Gu Bai's words.

"For example, the heroine Xia Zhu, if Wang Duoyu didn't have so much money, how could he possibly pursue Xia Zhu? To be realistic, before he inherited the fortune, even getting in touch with Xia Zhu was a luxury for Wang Duoyu, let alone being together."

"But Xia Zhu in the movie doesn't love money. Even if Wang Duoyu had no money, they would still be together."

Hearing Yan Shen's rebuttal, Gu Bai laughed. Their eyes met, gazing into each other's faces.

Gu Bai thought of a famous movie review from the last life in "The Richest Man in Xihong City", and then said, "Xia Zhu in the movie doesn't love money, but every moment Wang Duoyu impresses her requires money.

I admit that even if Wang Duoyu had nothing, Xia Zhu might still stay with him, but you heard the premise I mentioned, and that's in the movie.

Everyone has their own opinion about money, but it can't be denied that it's a necessity. Only those who have it have the right to say it's not important. In such a big world, there surely are feelings that can survive on love alone, but most emotions crumble under material needs. You might love each other deeply, but still have to break up. This has nothing to do with the fault of either person in the relationship. If you really want to blame something, blame the lack of money.

But don't worry, with me around, you'll never have to worry about money in your lifetime."

Yan Shen savored Gu Bai's words carefully yet still didn't understand, but she couldn't help blushing and retorting, "Who wants to be with you for a lifetime!"

"Have you finished eating? If you have, I'll take you back to school. It's freezing."

Gu Bai didn't argue and changed the topic directly.

"I'm done."

"Get in the car, it's freezing..."

The two dragged their nearly frozen legs back into the car.

...............

Half an hour later, it was already past nine at night, a Maybach parked under the girls' dormitory at Jinling Art College.

"Is this the place?"

"Yes."

Suddenly, under the car's headlights, snowflakes reflecting light started falling from the sky.

"Wow, it's snowing!"

Yan Shen quickly rolled down the window and reached out her hand to catch the snowflakes.

"My local roommate from the dorm said last year it didn't snow, and I didn't expect it to snow almost a month after the New Year."

Looking at the snowflakes that instantly melted in her palm, Yan Shen smiled like a child.

The cold wind outside invaded the car, and Gu Bai looked at her face and suddenly said softly, "Be my girlfriend."

"Huh?"

Yan Shen turned her head, dumbfounded.

"Do you need me to repeat that?"

Yan Shen looked at Gu Bai's serious face, her mouth moved, about to speak, when Gu Bai interrupted.

"If it's a refusal, you don't need to say it. If you dare say no, I'll throw you out the window."

"How can you be so overbearing! Is this even a confession!"

"I didn't say it was a confession, it's an invitation for you to be my girlfriend."

"Invitations aren't this overbearing either!"

"This is my way of inviting."

"..."

The car fell silent again, the cold wind kept blowing in, but they didn't seem to feel it at all.

"Do you know what love is?"

Facing Gu Bai's question, Yan Shen gently shook her head.

"What is it?"

"Unexpected, inexplicable, uncontrollable."

After hearing this, Yan Shen's tiny hand clenched instantly, as if her secret was suddenly seen through.

"Didn't you want to see Jinling's snow? Look, even the heavens cooperated, setting up this grand background for me, so how could I not use it?"

"When did you start liking me?"

"The first time I saw you, because of your face."

"Liking deepened when you painted for the students of Heba Village Primary School, and it was solidified at the Great Wall."

"Is that enough? If not, I'll continue."

At this moment, Gu Bai set up his passionate persona, and once he spoke, it was as if he was an old, charming guy.

"That's enough."

"When did you start liking me? Don't say never, I can feel it."

"Never!"

Upon finishing, Yan Shen pushed the car door open and ran straight out.

Gu Bai was taken aback, then shook his head with a light laugh.

The vehicle slowly started up, and from the rearview mirror, he saw Yan Shen standing in the middle of the road, snowflakes drifting from the sky and slowly melting on her clothes.

"The first time was when you left Heba Village Primary School!"

"The second time was when you were full of spirit giving a speech on the Hua Country festival stage!"

"The third time was on the Great Wall when you gave me flowers and asked if I was happy!"

"The last time was on New Year's Eve when I suddenly realized there would come a day you'd leave me forever!"

Seeing Yan Shen's cries causing students to poke their heads out from the dorm windows and watch, Gu Bai helplessly smiled, stretched out his left hand out of the car window, and waved.

"Got it, I'll pick you up tomorrow."

After Yan Shen finished speaking, she quickly ran towards the dormitory entrance.

Gu Bai's Maybach slowly accelerated, driving away from Jinling Art College.
