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

The sea breeze gently caressed, and the setting sun's afterglow draped a layer of golden silk over the sea surface.

The endless sea twinkled with light, merging with the horizon.

Listening to the sound of waves lightly lapping against the hull, Huang Lili slightly tilted her head up, taking a deep breath of salty air, the heaviness in her heart seemed to be smoothed by the sea breeze, feeling an expanse in her chest, as if all troubles were swept away by the waves, making her inner self much more tranquil at this moment.

Li Jing noticed the calmness gradually settling onto her features and smiled slightly, "Seems like this yacht does have a soothing effect."

"Rather than the yacht, it's more this vast and boundless sea. The yacht is merely a vehicle that helps people get closer to this beauty."

Having gradually calmed her emotions, Huang Lili's tone regained some of its previous composure and confidence.

She gently tucked the strands of hair blown by the sea wind behind her ear, turned to look at Li Jing beside her, and said sincerely, "Thank you, President Li."

Li Jing didn't blame Huang Lili for delaying work; instead, he took the initiative to comfort her emotions.

The qualities and tolerance shown by him made Huang Lili feel grateful.

"Thank me for what? It's just a bottle of Coke, and it was taken from the fridge on the boat."

Li Jing deliberately veered away from the topic, then shook the Coke in his hand and laughed, "Besides, I also took a bottle for myself, no need to pay, right."

Seeing him make a joke, Huang Lili's face finally showed a smile, "Things on this boat do cost money, but President Li, for your bottle, let's say I treated you."

"Is that so? Then thanks."

Seeing her willing to joke with him, Li Jing knew her emotions should have mostly recovered and couldn't help but chat idly, "I heard you mention rent on a phone call earlier, you haven't bought a house in Tianhai yet?"

"President Li is joking, the housing prices in Tianhai are so expensive, how could I afford to buy one."

Huang Lili shook her head, "Moreover, my salary is only twenty to thirty thousand a month, after rent and living expenses, I can't even save ten thousand a month."

"Twenty to thirty thousand is not a low salary." Li Jing puzzled, "How come you can't save even ten thousand?

Counting your boyfriend's, you guys save twenty thousand a month, that's two hundred forty thousand a year, after saving for a few years, you should barely manage a down payment."

"We did think that way before, but my boyfriend was laid off in the first half of last year, plus the recent economic situation is bad, and he's been almost a year without income."

"Your boyfriend relies on you for support?"

Li Jing was somewhat surprised, then thought of the argument he overheard earlier, and couldn't help but say, "So you guys are arguing over financial issues?

But his job loss can't completely be blamed on him, surely he didn't want to be unemployed either..."

"I also think so, but this year, I am really tired."

Seeing Li Jing speak for her boyfriend, Huang Lili couldn't help but explain, "When he was first laid off, due to feeling depressed, he stayed at home for three months, missing two of the best opportunities.

But considering his mood, I didn't say anything. However, after a few failed attempts with resume submissions, he completely gave up, as if gradually becoming accustomed to me supporting his life."

Huang Lili bowed her head, watching the waves below the deck, "Every day, besides playing games, he orders takeout, even though his clothes need to be washed wait until I return home to do it.

And although he lost his income, his spending didn't decrease at all, and it has even increased."

Saying that, Huang Lili felt powerless, "Every time I want to say a few words to him, he feels I'm despising him, hurting his self-esteem, making his temper even bigger than mine.

So much that I don't even dare to urge him to find a job, and even constantly give him pocket money to maintain his facade before others..."

Originally, since he had also been unemployed before, Li Jing wanted to defend Huang Lili's boyfriend a bit, but hearing this, he realized her boyfriend had quite a few issues, and couldn't help frowning, "Then do his parents know about his situation?"

"They don't..."

Huang Lili shook her head, "For the sake of face, besides me, he hasn't told anyone about his unemployment. During New Year at home, I'm always acting with him, even the red envelopes for his nephews and nieces were requested from me, and they must be big red envelopes."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing felt her boyfriend was somewhat outrageous and said, "Perhaps my words are harsh, but from what you've said, your boyfriend doesn't seem to have grown up, and his family's conditions should be quite decent?"

"How does President Li know?"

Huang Lili looked at him in surprise, then nodded, "Although his family is not from Tianhai, they are better off than mine, considered middle class."

Saying this, she seemed to remember her boyfriend's merits and said with complex feeling, "Actually, he wasn't like this before, he and I were college classmates.

He was lively and cheerful in college, a student council officer, good at making friends, and since his family was well-off, he often treated classmates to meals and organized events, even among girls he was popular."

Li Jing listened, nodded slightly, and it was similar to what he guessed:

"To put it bluntly, your boyfriend isn't bad, he's just been protected too well by his family, not exposed to the harsh world, in the past there were parents to look after him when issues arose, and now with his unemployment, you're maintaining his facade.

In a peaceful and comfortable environment, he can show personal charm and positivity, but once he steps into the harsh world that requires fighting tooth and nail, his weaknesses as a greenhouse flower become apparent.

To put it harshly, your boyfriend is still a child-like man-baby, or rather a mama's boy."

After hearing it, Huang Lili was slightly taken aback, not expecting Li Jing's insight to be so perceptive, she turned to look at his face and asked yearningly, "President Li, your life experience and wisdom must be richer than mine, what do you think I should do to change him?"

"Change him? It's simple, don't give him living expenses, force him to find work, tell his parents and friends about his unemployment, make him face the problem directly; under huge pressure, he'll naturally grow."

Li Jing looked straight into her delicate eyes, "Growth is always accompanied by pain, growth without pain is not growth, it's just getting older."

Speaking, he deliberately paused for a moment, then showed a meaningful expression and calmly looked at her:

"However, are you really trying to change him?

Or rather, are you actually trying to change your relationship with him?"

Seeing the subtle change in her expression, Li Jing gazed at her face and continued, "Actually, you've been tired for a long time, always thinking about how to end this relationship gracefully and peacefully, right?"

"I?!"

As his words fell, Huang Lili shook suddenly, hands instinctively grasping the railing, her eyes quivering slightly, looking at Li Jing's deep eyes that seemed to penetrate her inner thoughts, letting the sea wind scatter her hair, she remained silent for a long time.

The honest thought she had buried within herself, unwilling to admit all along, was now starkly exposed by him like a sharp blade under the sunlight.

Under Li Jing's gaze, Huang Lili stood frozen in place, mind blank, bewildered.

She felt like an actor whose mask had been pulled off, all pretense falling away in an instant, her deepest thoughts, like an exposed photograph, lay bare without reserve before Li Jing...
