Chapter 68: Sweet Interactions, So Sickeningly Sweet

"Let's wait a bit longer." Leng Ruoli was just as cold. Her hands had already gone numb, and her pretty little face, buried in her collar, was bright red. The corners of her eyes were red, her lips were freezing, and even her ears were red.

Mi Lu looked at her with immense pity and said, "You can't keep doing this. How about we stop waiting and come back in a few days? Today's the grand opening, and they're running a promotion, so there are so many people buying. There'll definitely be fewer in a few days. Anyway, it's not like he's going to starve if he misses his chance at these for a little while."

"It's fine, I can keep waiting. Sister Mi Lu, you go wait in the car, there's heating in there." Leng Ruoli forced a smile at Mi Lu.

Mi Lu immediately had the look of someone whose disappointment was greater than her anger. "Why are you so silly!"

She turned and headed back to Leng Ruoli's car. Finding a blanket there, Mi Lu grabbed it and wrapped it around both of them.

The gesture startled Leng Ruoli. "Sister Mi Lu, you…"

"We agreed to wait together, so I'm not going back. How could I bear to let my dear future brother-in-law stand here alone in the cold wind?" Mi Lu gave a huff. "Besides, it's not just you. I want to eat Pork Floss Cakes too, alright? I want to buy him some too."

Leng Ruoli knew that Sister Mi Lu was just being tsundere.

Beneath Sister Mi Lu's carefree exterior, she actually had a heart softer than most.

As Leng Ruoli smiled faintly at Mi Lu, Mi Lu pretended to be annoyed and said, "You're still smiling? I'm your love rival, you know. I'll buy a box too and give it to Jiang Muye later, and we'll see whose he accepts."

"Sure." Leng Ruoli didn't mind at all.

It was fair competition from the start. There was no way she'd try to stop Sister Mi Lu from doing anything.

Seeing Leng Ruoli agree, Mi Lu felt even more tender-hearted.

This girl is a super big fool. If I didn't like Jiang Muye too, I'd probably be wondering what kind of man could possibly be worthy of such a good girl's affection.

The sky had been quite bright earlier, but a pitch-black night slowly blanketed it.

In the desolate cold wind, they finally reached the front of the line.

Besides buying two boxes of Pork Floss Cakes, Leng Ruoli also bought two boxes of egg yolk pastries, milk-scented raisin cookies, and some other snacks.

Seeing her order so many in one breath, Mi Lu was astonished. "Can he even finish all that?"

"He can share it with his roommates." Leng Ruoli smiled, then handed Mi Lu a strawberry double-skin milk pudding. "And of course there's a portion for you too. Your favorite, strawberry double-skin milk pudding."

"I get some too?" Mi Lu was astonished.

"Yeah, you've been queuing with me for so long. Thank you." Leng Ruoli smiled sweetly.

Mi Lu was touched. She immediately pulled Leng Ruoli into a hug. "Hugs! Love you, love you~"

"Sister Mi Lu, alright, let's not hold up the customers behind us." A flush appeared on Leng Ruoli's cheeks as she reminded her.

"Hehe, okay." Mi Lu was very obedient, and even helped Leng Ruoli carry the things to the side.

After they got into the car and felt the heater, it finally felt like their frozen-stiff bodies were thawing out.

Mi Lu let out a sigh. "It's so nice to have heating."

"Thanks for your trouble, Sister Mi Lu. I'll treat you to a meal in a bit." Leng Ruoli said gratefully.

"Wow, great. What am I supposed to do? I really am going to get turned by you. Where else could there be such an adorable girl~" Mi Lu exclaimed.

Leng Ruoli felt a bit embarrassed. "Sister Mi Lu, I'm about to drive."

"Okay."

Leng Ruoli fastened her seatbelt and was about to head back to school when her phone suddenly gave a notification.

Beep.

Leng Ruoli's heart gave a heavy thump.

She practically lunged for it, immediately picking up her phone.

In an instant, her heart was fluttering like a little fawn.

On the screen was none other than Jiang Muye, who had liked her Moments post!

And he'd even commented.

1%: 【Remember to have fun!】

Leng Ruoli felt as if she'd eaten honey. Her mood instantly became incredibly excited.

She immediately began to reply: 【You too!】

Just as Leng Ruoli couldn't help but laugh out loud, Mi Lu leaned over and said with a smile, "What did he reply? You're so happy."

Leng Ruoli was stunned. "Sister Mi Lu, how did you know he replied to me?"

"Otherwise, would you be this happy, you little fool? Besides him, I've never seen you get so excited over anyone else."

Mi Lu knew that Leng Ruoli was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Previously, Leng Ruoli hadn't been interested in anything, and no one could stir her emotions.

But ever since Jiang Muye appeared, Mi Lu noticed that Leng Ruoli's mood was increasingly being influenced by Jiang Muye.

Leng Ruoli nodded shyly. "Yeah, he liked it, and he even told me to have fun."

"That's nice. I'm so jealous of you, being able to have his WeChat." Mi Lu looked at Leng Ruoli with envy, a bit huffily. "That clueless straight guy, he's not warm at all. I just asked him to add me on WeChat, and he refused. It's not like I'd eat him."

This made Leng Ruoli feel even more embarrassed.

"Alright, back to school. I'll use these to bribe him. Maybe he'll change his mind about me, and if he's happy, he'll add me on WeChat. Hehe, gifts bind the hand, food binds the mouth." Mi Lu was optimistic again, immediately thinking of the good side.

"He definitely will." Leng Ruoli nodded.

"Let's go, back to school!"

Leng Ruoli started the car, and soon the vehicle was heading toward West City University.

The night was vast and hazy. The Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost pierced through the darkness, driving along the highway. Jiang Muye, operating the steering wheel, was also heading toward the school.

He had already done what he wanted to do.

In the afternoon, Jiang Muye had gone to the city's auction house.

Although the attendant had received him, his attitude was lukewarm.

The attendant thought Jiang Muye was very handsome, but from his appearance, he was just a student.

Even if he was a Rich Second-Generation, at an auction like this he'd at most buy one or two things, nothing impressive.

The attendant had long since grown used to seeing rich people here, so naturally he didn't take him seriously.

Who could have expected that Jiang Muye would end up the final winner?

There were twenty-five items in total, and Jiang Muye had actually single-handedly captured twenty of them!

Moreover, at super-high prices!

To think that a pretty boy like this could have so much money. The wealthy people present were instantly shocked!

Jiang Muye had returned fully loaded. Some of the antique furniture and vases he bought, he had directly arranged to be sent to his Aunt, who loved those old antiques.

There were also some jewelry pieces, which he mailed to his mom for her collection.

Jiang Muye had spent fifty million in total, and after the fivefold rebate, he obtained two hundred and fifty million rmb.

Naturally, Jiang Muye wouldn't be satisfied with just that. He directly used the Land Development Manual given by the System and went to work on the ten plots of land the System had given him.

Most of these plots weren't in the pure city center, but Jiang Muye didn't seem to care. Spending money, after all, was just about enjoying himself to the fullest.

Jiang Muye directly found a construction team and prepared to break ground.

He wanted to develop real estate. One plot would be used to build an estate, which could later provide fruit and vegetable transport and also serve as an agritainment venture.

Then he'd use five plots to open malls and supermarkets, creating a commercial street in a prime location, with the estate's fresh fruits and vegetables supplied to the supermarkets.

Of the remaining four plots, two would simply be residential communities, and one would be for an office building, specifically for leasing.

Jiang Muye had paid professionals to manage all of this. He only needed to make periodic inspections and accept the finished work. That was the benefit of having money—he didn't have to run around himself.

Of course, Jiang Muye also made use of the connections his Aunt had accumulated to provide himself with convenience, directly spending money to acquire five department stores and three multinational corporations.

He wasn't afraid of losing money anyway. With the fivefold rebate, even if the companies and projects all lost everything, he'd still come out ahead.

Besides, what if they made money?

With so many projects, even if he was investing blindly, it was impossible for them all to lose, right?

Jiang Muye had spent quite a lot, so this time the rebate was naturally quite large as well—a full two billion-plus rmb.

This could also serve as startup capital for his ventures, and solve any future problems when they arose.

After confirming the amount in his bank card, Jiang Muye was extremely satisfied and began heading toward the school.

Just as he drove into the school parking lot, his phone gave a notification.

Jiang Muye took out his phone and saw that it was a WeChat message from Leng Ruoli.
