Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2639 - 443: Consider It Overnight (13)

Chu Junming had one hand on the steering wheel, slightly turned to look at Bai Qingling.

"Eight o’clock tomorrow morning."

"That early? Is someone taking you?"

"Yeah, Yi Ze will take me."

"Speaking of Feng Yize, I remember you were talking about a villa earlier. Are you and Feng Yize planning to settle down in G City too?"

Chu Junming had said he’d explain it to her later.

But she didn’t ask.

So he didn’t say.

Now hearing him mention Feng Yize, Bai Qingling remembered.

Chu Junming was driving on the road. There weren’t many cars late at night, and the speed was not very fast. His voice resonated with a certain texture in the quiet of the car cabin, "I wasn’t familiar with G City before, but after my big brother and second brother settled down there, I found G City quite nice."

"..."

Bai Qingling blinked, "So, do you also want to settle down in G City?"

She could understand Feng Yize.

Chu Junming glanced at her, then looked at the road ahead, "That Jian Ye earlier, did he send you any more flowers later?"

The sudden change of topic made Bai Qingling pause before she caught up.

She frowned and thought about it, "No more."

...

Chu Junming dropped Qingling off at home; it was already past midnight.

Qingling looked at her car, "Drive the car back to the hotel."

"I’m leaving tomorrow. How will you get to work?"

Chu Junming raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.

"You said making one billion from three isn’t difficult, so are you confident in making over one billion?"

Although Bai Qingling’s topic jumped quickly, Chu Junming also responded quickly.

"Yes, I have that confidence."

"Roughly how much can you make, considering over two years?"

"Taking out the one billion that you gave me as a gift, making another billion isn’t a problem."

"Not at all, you’re so good at making money. Can it really double?" Bai Qingling’s eyes widened even more.

Chu Junming smiled faintly and said casually, "Earning money is my skill, you know. Making money is actually the easiest thing."

Some things are harder than making money.

For example...

Seeing Bai Qingling seemingly very interested in the money-making topic, Chu Junming smiled again and, before getting out of the car, generously said, "If you have idle money, you can put it here, I’ll double it for you."

Bai Qingling’s eyes were bright.

Like stars in the sky, bright enough to warm the heart.

"I don’t have much money. I used to put some with Brother Ziyi, and what’s left I mentioned to you last time, only leftovers."

Previously, Bai Qingling thought she was living quite comfortably.

Though not much money, she could happily shop away, but ever since meeting Chu Junming, who wouldn’t bat an eye spending several billion.

She felt embarrassed to mention her little amount of money.

Chu Junming didn’t make fun of Bai Qingling, instead, he reassured her, "It’s alright, I’ve got a short-term money-making project right here; put your money with me, I’ll double it in three months. Miss this opportunity, and it’s gone."

"Really? But, is there any risk?"

Bai Qingling laughed brightly, a three-month double.

The temptation was too great.

The money placed with Mo Ziye didn’t generate wealth this quickly.

"No risk, hundred-percent guarantee profit. You think about it tonight, if you’re willing, tell me tomorrow morning—it won’t be too late. I’ll drive the car back and bring it over tomorrow."

Chu Junming thought for a moment, perhaps it was because she hadn’t decided whether to invest, so he drove the car away first.

Bai Qingling nodded, considering overnight sounds good.

Actually, she wasn’t considering whether to invest but thinking, there’s too little money at hand. Time to borrow some.

"Okay, I’ll give you an answer tomorrow morning. Be careful on your way back; I’ll head inside now."

Bai Qingling had a beautiful smile, two shallow dimples, seemed more lovely when her smile was genuine.

Chu Junming nodded and let her go inside first.

Bai Qingling entered the living room and found Luo Haofeng lying on the couch, watching a horror movie.

It was the scariest part, and she’s most afraid of ghosts. Seeing that scene made her scream repeatedly, covering her eyes with her hands, not daring to approach.

"Dad, dad, turn it off!"

Qingling crouched on the ground, covering her face tightly, shivering because of the female ghost she just saw.

On the couch, Luo Haofeng turned around, one hand holding the remote, one hand on the couch back, looking at Bai Qingling from several meters away.

He smiled and said, "Come over, I’ve turned it off."

Bai Qingling didn’t hear any sound and thought Luo Haofeng had really turned it off.

She removed her hands from her face and stood up.

The next second, another scream.

Her voice trembled violently, "Dad, you lied to me."

Luo Haofeng chuckled softly.

Put down the remote.

He stood up and walked to Bai Qingling.

His hand reached her head, comforting her by patting the top, "You’re scared of this? There are things scarier than ghosts, you know?"

Qingling wanted to cry.

Since childhood, she never dared to watch ghost movies or anything eerie and scary. Watching once would give her nightmares for a week.

Even with the lights on and eyes closed, she saw all those scenes.

"Dad."

"Ghosts aren’t scary, those ill-intentioned men are scarier than ghosts. You’re out late at night and didn’t call home; do you know I worry about you?"

"But you can’t scare me with ghost movies."

Qingling dared not pull her hands away from her face.

"You scare me; why can’t I scare you? Just because I’m your dad, I can only be scared by you and not retaliate?"

Luo Haofeng bent down and pulled Bai Qingling’s hands from her face, "It’s really off this time, won’t scare you again, open your eyes."

Bai Qingling shook her head.

Luo Haofeng squatted in front of her, looking at her tightly shut eyes, "During the time your mom and I were on vacation, did you stay out late every night?"

His tone wasn’t accusatory; on the contrary, it was gentle.

She felt like an equal, chatting with her father.

Bai Qingling shook her head, said aggrievedly, "No, when you weren’t home, I was back home by nine every night, and I didn’t go out at night if I could avoid it."

For a few days, she stayed at Qinghuan’s place.

"So good, then why so late tonight?"

"I was working overtime, got off at eleven, went to Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion for a late-night snack, then came right back."

"Open your eyes and look at me."

Bai Qingling slowly opened her eyes, looking at him a bit resentfully.

Luo Haofeng chuckled again, "Dad misjudged you, but you also have to remember, you’re a girl, always be cautious of bad people. Ghosts can only scare you on TV, bad people are different, understand?"

"..."

"Alright, I’m not angry, are you still angry?"

Luo Haofeng pulled Bai Qingling up.

Bai Qingling pouted, "I called mom before I worked overtime, she said she would tell you."

"Maybe your mom forgot, then it’s dad’s fault, I apologize, or give you some compensation?"
