Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2638 - 442: She Schemes Like a Pro, Never Missing a Beat (Bonus 12)

In the hall on the first floor, there were only Chu Junming and Bai Qingling.

The partially lit lights created a subtle dim atmosphere, making Chu Junming’s features appear exceptionally sculpted and handsome in the shadow, and there seemed to be a glint of starlight in his gaze as he looked at Bai Qingling.

As he held her clear gaze, his thin lips pressed slightly together, the emotions in his eyes fading like a calm lake. "What are you relieved about?"

Perhaps it was because the hall was too large, too quiet.

Chu Junming’s voice, when it sounded in the hall, carried a slightly hoarse illusion.

Bai Qingling, with exquisite brows and eyes, said with a smiling tone, "I already gave money gifts at Ye Zhan and Tang Jinchen’s wedding, if Feng Yize manages to pursue Qinghuan, I’d have to contribute money gifts at theirs too. I can’t just leave you out."

"..."

Chu Junming chuckled.

He placed his phone on the table and looked at Bai Qingling with leisurely interest, "How much do you plan to gift me?"

Not bad, didn’t make her earn five billion for nothing.

At least she thought of gifting money, and included me in the count.

With these thoughts, Chu Junming’s lips curled imperceptibly.

Bai Qingling’s smile eased slightly, but her brows and eyes remained bright, her soft voice was pleasant to hear, "You know I’m relatively poor, I definitely can’t afford a billion, that three billion, I’ve already divided with Zinan, Ziyang, and Qinghuan."

"Hmm."

Chu Junming responded lightly.

Indicating understanding and motioning for her to continue, he didn’t get angry over her words.

Bai Qingling wasn’t the sentimental type; her softening brows soon broke into a smile again, "I’ve thought it over, I’ll forgo the interest on that three billion, Zinan and Ziyang still don’t have girlfriends, might not marry within the next two years. Whatever the interest amounts to then, I’ll give it to you as a gift."

Chu Junming felt like laughing.

Really.

The girl across him seemed like a clever one.

She may appear innocent, but when it comes to calculations, she is straightforward.

Using the interest earned from his money to give him a gift...

"So, you’re planning to make a deal without investing anything of your own?"

Chu Junming smiled at Bai Qingling.

"You’re so rich, it doesn’t make a difference whether I contribute or not."

"If the interest turns out substantial, why don’t you give me a figure now, for how much you plan to gift at my wedding, so that I can manage the surplus?"

Chu Junming leaned back in his chair, a bit of nonchalance more in his expression.

Bai Qingling’s astonished eyes widened slightly, she removed her hand supporting her chin, sitting up straight abruptly.

Her eyes moved.

She quickly said, "One billion should suffice, there shouldn’t be any surplus, I should say, I won’t make up for any shortfall, so when they marry, you just give it directly for me, and handle yours at your wedding."

This twist of tongue.

Basically, using the gift money to appease him.

Not letting him have inappropriate ideas about those three billion, ensuring he fulfills promises without making things difficult for her because of this amount.

Oh, part of the reason also.

Bai Qingling incurred his displeasure when she was drunk.

She used one billion as recompense.

The condition being he could make one billion from those three billion.

"How could you handle your own gifts?"

Chu Junming looked at the server coming from a distance, gracefully drinking a sip of water.

The server placed the greens on the table.

With a "please enjoy," he withdrew.

Bai Qingling picked up a piece of greens and fed it into her mouth.

Listening to Chu Junming’s deeply gentle voice asking, "Making one billion from three billion isn’t difficult, if there’s extra, will you not take it?"

...

Parking lot

Lin Qiang and Jian Ye hadn’t left yet.

Jian Ye drove initially, Lin Qiang drank a bit, now sitting in the passenger seat.

Holding a business card given by Chu Junming, envy written in his eyes.

"Ay Ye, if we do this job well, this year’s performance will definitely not be a problem."

Most importantly, getting along well with Chu Junming and Feng Yize would greatly benefit their company’s future development.

Jian Ye turned his face from the outside view, looking at Lin Qiang’s grinning face.

"Just two villas, Strong, you don’t need to smile like you’re the world’s richest man."

"Dammit!"

Lin Qiang laughed and cursed, "That’s bound to happen eventually."

He turned his head to Jian Ye, "Hey, you seem quite familiar with Bai Qingling, the one you mentioned you liked, it’s her right?"

Jian Ye touched his earring, glancing sideways at Lin Qiang, "My parents know Qingling’s parents, she was the first person I saw when I returned home."

Lin Qiang raised a hand with a whistle.

"Brother, Bai Qingling is a well-known heiress in G City, not only is she beautiful, but she also excelled academically; my cousin was in the same year as her, I’ve heard him talk about her countless times."

He sat upright, offering the business card to Jian Ye, "If you like her, go for it."

"Didn’t you see how the young master you want to get close to treats her well?"

Jian Ye felt some unease.

He took the offered business card and casually put it in the storage compartment.

"What does it matter, if she’s not married, you can pursue her. Such matters aren’t about identity, just look at your sister-in-law as a good example, back then I directly outshone those rich second-gens chasing her and brought her home."

"..."

Jian Ye’s mouth twitched.

Previously, he had sent flowers to Bai Qingling.

But then got busy and sidelined the matter.

Lowering his head, he brought up her WeChat, hesitated, then exited, locking his phone.

He told Lin Qiang beside him, "Sit tight, heading home."

Started the car with head bowed.

Earlier seeing Bai Qingling and Chu Junming together, noticing Chu Junming’s apparent special treatment of Bai Qingling, Jian Ye felt quite dejected.

But hearing Lin Qiang’s encouragement.

Regained some confidence; Qingling isn’t a gold-digger type, naturally, given her family’s fortune, she wouldn’t need to be.

Therefore, Jian Ye felt hopeful again.

Silently clenching his teeth telling himself, proximity brings advantage. When Chu Junming said he was busy lately and should contact Feng Yize, possibly meant he wouldn’t be in G City.

Only casually made up being busy to avoid saying directly.

He decided, starting tomorrow, to put the plan to pursue Bai Qingling on the agenda.

...

Bai Qingling kept pondering throughout the late-night meal, how much more Chu Junming’s three billion could generate.

Rejecting money is foolish.

Especially for a money-loving person like her.

With the boiled meat slices served too quickly, she hadn’t asked him in detail; she just ate the meat slices while contemplating.

Once satisfied and happy, Bai Qingling rushed to pay.

Chu Junming watched, not competing with her over it.

The two walked out of Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion, got into the car, and after fastening their seatbelts, Bai Qingling asked Chu Junming, "What time is your flight tomorrow?"
