Chapter 58 – This is poor? Shit! "Sis, trust me, this game is going to be huge in the future. Join me in playing it. If you don't know how, I'll teach you. I guarantee you'll get the hang of it." Lin Jichen wasn't up to anything bad; he just squatted down seriously to talk to her. He got up and walked over, just so Gu Qiuxue could see his expression clearly. He wasn't joking; he was serious. Gu Qiuxue felt relieved but also inexplicably a bit disappointed. Suddenly, Lin Jichen slipped his hand under the blanket covering her, slid it across her abdomen, and accurately grasped Gu Qiuxue's soft, jade-like hand. Gu Qiuxue trembled all over, clearly startled. Immediately, her fair and transparent face flushed red, like a sunset glow spreading across her cheeks, burning hot. Fortunately, it was nighttime, so Lin Jichen didn't see it. He continued to persuade her. "Sis, this way, we can live together and be with each other every day." "Even if my prediction fails and the game flops, we can just find new jobs." "Think of it as an investment. Besides, I've already made a few million, all of which is with you for safekeeping." "Even if we fall on hard times in the future, we can use that money to open a small shop. I'll be the boss, and you can be the boss lady." Gu Qiuxue blushed even more at his words. Boss? Boss lady? This... "Sis, think it over. You don't have to give me an answer right away. I'm going to sleep now." Before she could react, Lin Jichen let go of her hand, got up, and went back to bed. Soon, the sound of Lin Jichen's even breathing came from the bed, indicating he had fallen asleep. But Gu Qiuxue tossed and turned, unable to sleep. In her mind, she kept imagining a beautiful scene. She resigned from her job and left the Capital City, moving to Lin Jichen's city, closer to home, and living with him every day. Lin Jichen would teach her how to play the game, and she would cook and do laundry for him every day. Even if the game failed in the future, she could use the money Lin Jichen had given her to open a small shop he was interested in. He would be the boss, and she would be the boss lady... Oh my~ Gu Qiuxue couldn't help but cover her burning face, her eyes filled with longing and a sweet smile on her lips, shining like neon lights in the dark. Zhang Guangwei hadn't expected Gu Qiuxue to reject his pursuit so directly. His face turned a bit green, feeling humiliated. But to maintain his image, he forced a graceful smile. "Oh, I see. The falling flower has feelings, but the flowing water is heartless. I understand. I'm not someone who can't let go. I'll take back what I said. We're still colleagues and friends." Gu Qiuxue breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, "Thank you for understanding, Dr. Zhang." But Zhang Guangwei changed his tone, saying, "Even though we can only be friends, I understand if you don't want the gift. But I've already booked the restaurant and paid the deposit, which is non-refundable. So, let's make an exception and go to the place I booked. We can have a lively birthday celebration for you. Is that okay?" Zhang Guangwei's words were flawless, leaving Gu Qiuxue with no reason to refuse. Even her colleagues felt sorry for Zhang Guangwei and persuaded Gu Qiuxue to agree. After much hesitation, Gu Qiuxue nodded. "Alright, let's go. But I'll cover all the expenses, including the deposit for the private room. If you agree, we'll go." "Sure, no problem!" Zhang Guangwei agreed readily. But inside, he was already sneering, thinking the fish had taken the bait! Gu Qiuxue didn't say anything more, feeling a bit depressed as she walked out. She was also calculating in her mind that today would cost a lot. Her salary definitely wouldn't be enough, so she'd probably have to use the money Little Chen had given her. She'd have to explain it to him. Luckily, Little Chen had made some money; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to afford today's meal. The others didn't notice Gu Qiuxue's expression and followed her, eager to dine at the most luxurious restaurant. They all walked out of the hospital. Gu Qiuxue looked around but didn't see Lin Jichen. Puzzled, she took out her phone, about to make a call. "Sis! Over here!" In a bright red sports car, Lin Jichen was sitting in the driver's seat, waving at Gu Qiuxue through the window. Gu Qiuxue stood there, stunned, unable to believe her eyes. Equally stunned was Zhang Guangwei. Zhang Guangwei couldn't believe Lin Jichen had a sports car. He had clearly heard that Gu Qiuxue's brother was poor and had to rely on her for living expenses. This is poor? Shit!
