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

Seeing the other person stunned, Li Jing smiled a little and looked again at the sea under the dusk, like a land dyed by red-orange flames:

"I just saw you were caught in self-doubt, so I said it casually, don't mind.

Besides, you two are just boyfriend and girlfriend, there's no need to bind yourself with too much stress and pressure.

If it feels right, then continue; if it's unbearable, then leave, it's all normal. Not just boyfriends and girlfriends, even married couples can divorce, right?"

Li Jing finished the hallway-sized Coke in his hand, glanced at Huang Lili: "Ultimately, it's all up to you to decide."

With that said, Li Jing turned around and left the corridor, returning inside the yacht.

Meanwhile, Huang Lili stood for a long time, as dusk gradually fell, the sea wind blowing on her face became particularly chilly.

After what felt like a long time, she finally took a deep breath, trying not to dwell on it anymore, letting go of the tangled thoughts in her mind, checked the time, and decided to finish the work first.

Afterward, Huang Lili and Li Jing discussed the purchase of the yacht again.

After addressing all the concerns, Li Jing saw the yacht approaching the port outside the window and nodded: "I understand, I'll think about it, if I make a decision, I'll let you know."

Upon hearing this, Huang Lili's heart sank a bit, feeling today's performance was far from good, even could be said to be a failure, causing the other person to hesitate, making her feel a sense of remorse.

But this wasn't reflected on her face, she still tried hard to maintain a smile, nodded respectfully: "Alright, I'll be waiting for your message, feel free to contact me if you have any questions."

As the yacht docked, Zhou Shun was the first to disembark, drove the car over, and then took Li Jing away.

Huang Lili watched the direction the two left in, standing silently by the port for a long time.

Finally, she took a deep breath filled with the faint fishy smell of sea wind, striving to release the gloom in her heart, turning towards the subway station.

To save money for buying a house, even though she learned to drive as early as university, she never brought herself to spend money on a car.

Due to the rush hour of leaving work in the evening, when Huang Lili got on the subway, although there were no empty seats, the space was still relatively relaxed. But when passing the station at the city center business district, a large flow of people swarmed in like locusts, tirelessly cramming into the narrow, enclosed subway car.

Huang Lili didn't know who stepped on her foot, yet before she could scream in pain, her body was squeezed to the other side by the crowd behind her.

The surrounding crowd piled up like countless mountains, pressing her until she couldn't breathe.

She didn't even need to rely on the handrail, she could stand steadily inside the train with the help of the surrounding crowd's tightness.

After enduring for half an hour, she finally managed to squeeze off the subway, breathed a long sigh, reached up to smooth her somewhat tangled hair, but her expression changed, finding that her sleeve was pulled open into a gap by someone, several threads popped out casually.

Seeing this, Huang Lili's already grim mood became more agitated, but in the end, she could only clamp her arms tight to cover the gap in the clothing, and walked out of the subway station with a gloomy face.

Upon finally returning to her rented apartment, she breathed a long sigh, tiredly retrieved the keys from her handbag, and opened the door.

After entering the room, just as she was about to lie on the soft sofa for a moment's rest, she found the sofa, which was tidied clean just yesterday, now turned into a pile of clutter.

Various pants and clothes piled like a small mountain on the sofa, along with several pairs of socks drooping beneath the sofa's armrest.

Huang Lili even saw her own clothes being pressed down like trash beneath a pile of men's clothes.

She stood where she was, but internally she was surprisingly calm, so calm she barely recognized herself today.

She merely glanced and knew the masterpiece on the sofa was undoubtedly the result of her boyfriend digging out all his clothes to attempt matching them, leaving the mess for her to tidy up upon returning.

This sort of thing has happened too many times in Huang Lili's life.

But compared to the past anger and rage, this time she was unexpectedly composed, merely sat on the sofa filled with clothes, picked up her phone, and dialed her boyfriend's number.

"Beep... Beep... Beep..."

After nearly twenty seconds of waiting for the prompt tone to finish, the phone on the other end finally connected.

"Hey, I won't be home for dinner tonight, I'll be back later, don't bother cooking for me."

"Brother Yong, hurry up, it's your turn!"

"Drink some drinks. We agreed not to take calls when playing, it wastes time!"

As Peng Yong's voice came through, there were also noises from other men and women playing, and even the sound of rhythmically exciting background music could be heard.

After hearing the other person's words, Huang Lili's grip on her cell phone tightened a bit, remained silent for a moment, then coldly asked: "Did you do the clothes on the sofa?"

"Sofa?"

Peng Yong thought for a moment, then impatiently answered: "What's it about? You put my clothes in the closet, I have to take them out to match them, don't I? What's the problem with that?"

"Deal with your own affairs yourself, you took out the clothes, you clean up."

"You're calling because of such a small thing? You could just help me do it, it's no big deal!"

Peng Yong was urged by a girl again and quickly said to the phone: "Alright, alright, I have something to do.

By the way, my parents might come to see us the day after tomorrow, tidy up the house tomorrow, and take a few days off to accompany my parents.

They rarely come, prepare seven or eight thousand yuan to take them to Tianhai for three days, I have a gathering the day after tomorrow, after I finish my appointment with my friend that day, I'll come back and join you to accompany my parents."

After speaking, without waiting for Huang Lili to agree, the phone was hastily hung up by Peng Yong.

In the last few seconds before hanging up, Huang Lili still faintly heard Peng Yong's excited laughter while playing with his friends again, sounding particularly happy, contrasting greatly with his tone when speaking on the phone with her.

Still clutching the cell phone, Huang Lili sat in silence on the sofa for a long time.

This time, her emotions became unexpectedly calm and indifferent.

Even though Peng Yong's final laughter and entertainment with his friends constantly echoed in her mind, she still silently gazed at the chaotic living room without a trace of anger.

It was as if when one gradually gives up hope, their originally fluctuating emotions would become especially indifferent.

At this moment, her phone rang again.

Huang Lili ignored it, didn't even lower her head to look at the caller's identity.

At this time, she could think of those contacting her, most probably only her boyfriend, and the call's purpose was nothing more than instructing her to do things he believed an ideal girlfriend should do.

She felt she shouldn't be like this.

Once, she was the school belle who caught everyone's attention, an outstanding graduate in the eyes of teachers.

But for some reason, in just a few years, her life turned into its current state.

Actually, she always knew Peng Yong has many friends and loves organizing activities.

But she's confused as to why, something that initially attracted her about him, now makes her feel particularly dissatisfied and even repulsed.

Is it my problem?

Just as she sank into self-doubt, the conversation on the yacht with Li Jing suddenly resurfaced in her mind.

She recalled Li Jing's words, her pupils trembled slightly, after a long time, she gradually came back to her senses.

Her gaze regained a bit of determination, frowning under her breath: "No, it's not my problem."

At this moment, the phone rang once again.

Huang Lili frowned slightly, finally flashed a bit of impatience, picked up the phone to answer, but froze.

The caller was not Peng Yong, but her mother.

"Mom?"

After answering the call, Huang Lili's tired tone carried a bit of confusion.

"Lili, happy birthday!"

The voice of a woman on the phone sounded particularly warm: "I guessed maybe you and Xiao Yong went out to celebrate during the day, so decided to call a bit later.

It's your birthday today, we didn't know what to buy for you, so we directly sent a red envelope, okay?"

"Red envelope, birthday..."

With the words falling, Huang Lili stared blankly at the messy room.

After a long time, she suddenly felt a bit of soreness in her nose, her eyes couldn't help but redden, murmurred choked up:

"That's right, today is my birthday, how could I forget..."
