Now that Liu Qing had resigned, he would definitely stop renting the house and would return it to the landlord.
Xiao Wen would have no choice but to return to the dormitory.
It was still the month of August, only a few days after autumn began, and the weather was the warmest now
Going back to the dormitory at this time would be a torture.
After living with Liu Qing for a while, she had already gotten used to his presence in her life and she felt at ease with him around. Sometimes, she even wondered if she was in love again.
She was definitely feeling a little depressed about the end of this way of life.
Even Liu Qing treating her to a meal could not make the depressed feeling go away.
Therefore, when she spoke, her tone had a hint of bitterness and reluctance.
Liu Qing laughed. "You're overthinking. I decided a long time ago to resign during this period. It has nothing to do with you."
Xiao Wen grabbed one of his hands. "Brother Qing, can't you stay for my sake? Look, I mop the floor for you every day, get you food, bring you breakfast and I haven't spent any of your money. Where can you find such a good girlfriend?"
"No, no, no." Liu Qing quickly stopped her. "We don't have that kind of relationship. Don't talk nonsense."
"If we didn't have that relationship before, we can start now," Xiao Wen said. "I'll listen to you. I can do whatever you want. You can do whatever you want to me. I won't lose my temper with you or spend your money. Isn't that good enough?"
Liu Qing smiled and shook his head. "Don't be like this. Let's not talk about feelings and we'll still be friends in the future. If we talk about feelings, we won't be friends anymore."
"You can try it for a month first," Xiao Wen begged. "If you're not satisfied after the trial period, you can return it."
Liu Qing felt very helpless. "You don't have to do this for an air-conditioned room. Alright, I won't return the house to the landlord immediately. I'll do it in a month's time. Is that better for you?"
He regretted it a little the moment he said it. He had already decided not to let any woman spend his money in the future and did not expect to go back on his own word like that.
Furthermore, it was not for a pretty girl. He had done this for just a little petite woman.
Xiao Wen was instantly ecstatic. She suddenly leaned over and stood on tiptoe to kiss him on the cheek and then she grinned.
"Brother Qing, you're the best. Thank you, Brother Qing. You're like my biological brother!"
Liu Qing wiped her saliva off his face and shot her a retort.
"Since I'm your biological brother, this is not acceptable behavior between siblings. It's immoral."
Xiao Wen put her arm around his shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Then, my dear biological brother, do you want to be ****?"
These aggressive words almost made Liu Qing lose control.
They were still walking in public and there were many people walking around. If anyone saw him lose control like that, he would really be socially condemned.
He quickly pushed her away. "Don't talk nonsense. If you do that again, I'll return the house tomorrow."
He thought to himself, "Girls are so proactive these days!"
They returned to their place to change their clothes before heading out for dinner.
Xiao Wen did not avoid Liu Qing and changed her clothes in front of him.
To put it across nicely, she wanted to give Liu Qing some benefits.
However, she was still wearing her underwear, so Liu Qing did not get tempted. He just sighed and lamented to himself.
"This girl's legs are quite slim. Actually, her figure is not bad, but she's just too short. Looking at her proportions, she'd still look good if she's taller by 10 centimeters."
This time, they did not go to eat hotpot. Instead, they went to a Hunan restaurant. Liu Qing ordered a few dishes for himself and spoke to Xiao Wen in a generous manner.
"Order whatever you like. You don't have to save money for me."
"You don't have to say the second part of that sentence. I'm just not that kind of person," Xiao Wen said as she took the menu from him.
She always looked at the price of the dish whenever she ordered. She wanted to start with the most expensive dishes, but when she looked at the prices, she noted that Liu Qing's monthly salary would be gone even if she only ordered a few dishes.
She did not want to take advantage of him too much, so she flipped the menu and ordered a few side dishes from the last few pages. The prices added up to only tens of dollars.
Then, she smiled and asked Liu Qing, "Brother Qing, should we order some wine?"
Liu Qing shook his head. "No wine. I won't give you the chance."
Xiao Wen could not help but roll her eyes. She flipped through the menu again and ordered a dish of stir-fried pork kidney. She showed Liu Qing her order.
"Brother Qing, I ordered this especially for you. I think you might need some nourishment."
Liu Qing sneered. "It's useless to goad me."
The bill for the meal came up to around five to six hundred dollars. For a restaurant of this grade, it was considered an expensive meal.
Xiao Wen did not take advantage of Liu Qing this time. It was Liu Qing himself who ordered the expensive dishes.
When he paid the bill, his expression did not change, making Xiao Wen exclaim in wonder.
"Brother Qing, did you really win the two-color ball lotto ? You certainly look like you're a rich man at the moment."
Liu Qing felt rather helpless. "How many times do I have to explain it to you? I'm going to be a rich second generation!"
In this world, there was not much trust between people. He kept telling them the truth, but no one believed him.
He dared to tell the truth only because he knew no one believed him.
If people would believe him, he would not say it even if he would get beaten to death.
He knew better than to show his wealth.
As expected, Xiao Wen did not believe him. She only thought that Liu Qing was patronizing her and she pouted to express her displeasure.
It was not until the two of them went to the supermarket and Liu Qing bought a bunch of snacks and drinks that she became happy again.
This young girl earned a little more than 3,000 dollars a month, but she needed to send 3,000 dollars home, so she had very little money left. She liked to eat snacks, but she could not bear to spend money to buy them.
She was in a good mood now that she could eat snacks bought by others for free.
At this moment, Liu Qing had a net worth of a million dollars. He did not care about someone freeloading on snacks that he bought.
It was mainly because eating alone was a very boring thing.
Some people liked to eat alone, but there were others who could not dine alone. They felt that no matter how delicious the food, it would become tasteless when paired with loneliness.
Liu Qing belonged to the latter type.
That night, Liu Qing tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
It was mostly due to his excitement.
Whether or not he could successfully inherit tens of billions worth of assets was another matter. Even if he could, it would be decades later.
However, the one million dollars that he had received was real. It was already his personal property and no one could snatch it from him.
He had never been so rich before.
He never even had 100,000 dollars in his bank before, not to mention having a bank balance of a million dollars.
While Xiao Wen was in the shower, he could not contain his excitement and took screenshots of the balances in his WeChat Pay and Yu'e Bao and posted them on his WeChat Moments. He set it to a private view setting for one person together with a caption.
"A few years of bad luck are coming to an end. Now I'm on the road to financial freedom. It feels so good."
There were two screenshots. One showed a balance of more than 100,000 dollars, and the other showed a balance of a little more than 900,000 dollars.
In the afternoon, he had already transferred the money from his bank account to WeChat and Alipay.
This had been his habit for years.
At least he would get some interest there.
Only Huo Zhenzhen could see this post.
