Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?

Just as we were stepping out from the main gate of the First High School, it was exactly as we feared.

Before Li Jing could see anything, Ge Qin suddenly pulled her arm away and quickly maintained a half-meter distance from him.

Noticing her movement, Li Jing turned back in confusion, then saw a group of males and females chatting and laughing at the entrance not far away.

Before Li Jing could ask, Ge Qin pretended to fix her hair while whispering, "Those are my classmates and friends, we need to keep some distance."

Hearing this, Li Jing was a bit surprised, but he could understand Ge Qin's reaction.

Although Li Jing was a scoundrel, he knew that once the New Year passed, he probably wouldn't have much contact with Ge Qin again, so there was no need to ruin her reputation.

So Li Jing simply stood still, letting her handle the situation.

After whispering a quick explanation, Ge Qin put on a smile again and walked briskly towards that group of people.

Seeing this, Li Jing raised an eyebrow, surprised that she wasn't leaving quietly but walking directly towards them.

"Ge Qin?!"

"Qin Qin?"

The group finally noticed Ge Qin approaching and turned their heads, faces full of joy.

"Qin Qin, didn't you say you didn't have time today? What are you doing here?"

A short-haired girl eagerly grabbed Ge Qin's hand and asked with curiosity.

Before Ge Qin could answer, a boy noticed Li Jing standing behind and, after sizing him up, said in astonishment, "Ge Qin, who's that? Is he…"

"Don't guess wildly, he's a relative from my aunt's side, sort of a cousin with no blood relation."

Ge Qin explained naturally, "He's been living in Tianhai for years, and this time he came back for the New Year, just happened to meet during the visits, so the family asked me to show him around."

"Is he the cousin who entertained you when you went to Tianhai last time?"

The short-haired girl had apparently talked to Ge Qin about her trip to Tianhai before and was somewhat familiar with Li Jing's deeds, exclaiming, "So handsome! No wonder you'd rather hang out with him than play with us, and I heard he's a big boss, right?"

"Yeah, he is indeed excellent, seems to own a company in Tianhai. Also, he bought an Audi for his family this year when he came back."

When introducing Li Jing, there was no need for Ge Qin to pretend; pride and admiration naturally shone in her eyes.

After hearing this, besides the short-haired girl and another girl curiously sneaking glances at Li Jing, the other boys looked somewhat awkward, merely glancing at Li Jing without saying much.

These boys more or less had a liking for Ge Qin.

Now seeing her with such an outstanding man, they not only felt slightly inferior but also instinctively developed a sense of exclusion towards Li Jing.

People in the same circle are generally of similar standing, just like how the circles of the excellent dismiss ordinary people, while the circles of the ordinary exclude the excellent.

Ge Qin, being observant, quickly noticed the boys' thoughts, silently shaking her head inside, feeling a bit disappointed in these hometown boys who had become accustomed to laying low, relying on their parents' resources.

But she swiftly changed the subject, looking at one of the boys with a smile: "By the way, Young Master Kang, I heard your dad found you a new job in a state-owned enterprise. How's it going?"

Hearing Ge Qin bring up his matter, the boy known as Young Master Kang immediately showed a pleased smile, straightening his posture a bit: "Not bad, my dad has a good relationship with the VP over there, got me a relaxed position, not much workload, though the salary isn't high but it's very easygoing."

"That's great."

Ge Qin smiled: "You'll have more time to pursue your hobbies. I remember you like riding motorcycles, right?"

"Yes! I just went on a motorcycle ride with my friends to the neighboring flower city, the acceleration rush is truly amazing."

Mentioning something he loves, Young Master Kang's face lit up: "Ge Qin, when you have time, I'll take you for a ride!"

"With your skills, you might dare to ride, but Ge Qin wouldn't dare to sit! Just make sure we don't see you on the news one day."

As soon as another bespectacled boy jokingly teased him, Ge Qin turned to him with a warm smile: "Brother Jun, I heard you got promoted before the New Year, became a team leader, isn't that worth treating us?"

"Oh man, Brother Jun, you got promoted? And I didn't even know."

Young Master Kang was surprised and immediately put his arm around Brother Jun's neck: "Daring to secretly work hard and not telling us, not cool, you have to treat us. You still owe us a meal from last time!"

The bespectacled boy, having his promotion revealed by Ge Qin, felt a sense of pride seeing the surprised and envious looks from friends around, but still calmly said: "It's just a team leader position, nothing much. But since Ge Qin mentioned it, I'll definitely treat you all…"

"What do you mean, do you mean it's useless for us to ask you to treat, but only if Ge Qin asks? You're blinded by beauty!"

"Nonsense, you still owe me a meal from last time, you…"

As the two boys jokingly bickered, Ge Qin turned to the short-haired girl holding her hand and looked her up and down: "Jingjing, have you been working out recently? You look thinner."

"Really? Can you really tell I've lost weight?"

The short-haired girl's eyes lit up with delight, tightly holding Ge Qin's hands with excitement: "I've indeed been working out lately, just worried about gaining weight over the New Year. Do you really think I've slimmed down?"

"You've really slimmed down, why would I lie to you? Look how small your waist is now, it's an A4 waist."

Ge Qin said, not forgetting to push her in front of the boys and asked, "Everyone take a look, hasn't Jingjing's figure gotten even better?"

Upon hearing this, the other girls and boys, seeing the short-haired girl's look of anticipation, sensibly refrained from spoiling the moment, nodding and praising the girl's figure, which made her extraordinarily happy.

Soon after, Ge Qin managed to compliment almost everyone, naturally becoming the center, and everyone was willing to chat and talk with her.

Not far away, Li Jing raised his eyebrows looking in the direction of Ge Qin and the others.

He noticed that among these people, Ge Qin was like a delicate flower surrounded willingly by them, exuding her unique charm.

Every move, every smile of Ge Qin amidst the crowd seemed especially attractive.

It was as if this was her comfort zone, where she could release all her charm.

Even Li Jing, looking at Ge Qin amongst the crowd, couldn't help but be attracted by her outstanding aura.

Only then did he feel that Ge Qin indeed suited small town life very much.

Contrarily, when she was in Celestial Sea City before, she self-restrained and lacked confidence, losing her original sparkle, even her own advantages became dull.

Soon after, Ge Qin finally waved goodbye to everyone, Jingjing and others were somewhat reluctant for Ge Qin to leave, even trying to invite Li Jing to play with them.

But Ge Qin knew Li Jing's personality, so she politely declined everyone and then turned and left with Li Jing.

On the way back.

Li Jing took the initiative to observe Ge Qin, causing her to feel a bit embarrassed.

With her face slightly red, Ge Qin awkwardly said, "Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?"

"I've found that staying in your hometown is indeed the best choice for you."

Ge Qin furrowed her brows slightly and asked back, "You're saying I don't fit the big city?"

"No, you just fit here better."

Li Jing explained, "It's not that the bigger the city, the better. Finding the city that suits you best is what's most important.

Just now, seeing how you interacted with your friends, I felt that you can show your best side here."

Upon hearing this, Ge Qin recalled the previous scene, pondered for a moment without speaking.

After a long time, she reopened her mouth, looking at Li Jing: "Then if I were born in Hai City, would you be willing to be with me?"

Li Jing hesitated, knew she'd misunderstood his meaning, shook his head and said, "I don't have romantic relationships, where you come from, even whether you're a rich second generation, has nothing to do with it.

I'm simply unwilling to be bound by a person or a relationship; my current goal is to enjoy my life."

Seeing light in Li Jing's eyes while talking about enjoying life, Ge Qin's eyes widened slightly, attracted by his emitted aura.

Gazing at Li Jing's defined profile, Ge Qin's heart stirred again with ripples.

Especially feeling the difference between Li Jing and those guys before, her feelings for him grew more intense.

"Li Jing."

Suddenly, Ge Qin softly called his name.

Li Jing looked puzzled, turning to her: "What's up?"

Ge Qin slightly bit her lips, blushed and earnestly said: "Didn't you promise to be my boyfriend once? So can I call you my husband now?"

Li Jing looked a bit surprised at her; though she'd called him that once in the car before, he'd taken it as part of the play then, he hadn't expected her to truly intend to call him that.

Seeing the deep yearning and anticipation in her eyes, Li Jing eventually shook his head with resignation: "All right, but I won't call you wife. For me, even my girlfriend won't be called that."

Seeing Li Jing agree, Ge Qin was full of joy and then nodded vigorously: "It's fine, I'll call it my way, you call it yours, but can you call me Sister Qin?

It's my nickname, only my parents sometimes call me that, no one else knows."

"Sister Qin..."

Li Jing found it somewhat cheesy, but under her blinking, expectant gaze, he nodded to agree: "All right."

"Thank you, hubby! You're the best!"

Upon hearing this, Ge Qin immediately clutched Li Jing's arm, her face full of joy.

At this moment, she seemed to truly take herself as his lifelong partner.
