CHAPTER 382: CHAPTER 358: RETURN TO CHINA (PART 3)

Then He said, "No need."

"From what I know of him, he would never take back something he has given. Sending it back would only make him think you don’t like his gift, it’s unnecessary."

"Besides, it’s just a small mine, not worth much, maybe at most two or three tens of millions, just keep it, you might use it someday."

As he spoke, He folded the document and handed it to her.

Jiang Ruan blinked, still a bit bewildered.

Holding the document: "Just this piece of paper is worth twenty or thirty million, I’m losing my sense of money now, tens of millions or billions seem just like strings of numbers."

"I feel like I’m becoming more wasteful, I can shop and swipe my card without batting an eye, Lu Jie says I’m now a full-fledged nouveau riche lady."

He laughed, "It’s fine, your man has money."

"Swipe all you want."

Jiang Ruan chuckled, "I love hearing that."

"But I do enjoy being a rich lady."

"You know, my earliest dreams with Lu Jie were all about making money, getting rich, reaching the pinnacle of life to... sponsor..." male models.

Just after saying two words, Jiang Ruan’s brain suddenly clicked, and she quickly shut her mouth.

But He still heard it clearly, his dark eyes squinted slightly as he looked at her, a storm brewing in their depths: "Sponsor what?"

Jiang Ruan quickly used her wits, "Skin care, hehe..."

"Keeping my skin fair and tender, like a teenage girl’s."

"Really?" He raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure it’s skincare, not something else?"

Jiang Ruan was about to speak.

He said, "Liars turn into puppies."

He wrapped an arm around her waist, earnestly and gently coaxing, "Good girls don’t lie, right?"

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Jiang Ruan felt like crying, "Right."

Oh, this mouth of hers.

Why is it so quick to say everything that should and shouldn’t be said?

He hooked her chin, his voice hoarse and teasing, "Good girl, tell Uncle, what do you sponsor when you reach the pinnacle, hmm?"

Jiang Ruan’s red lips spat out one word, "You."

Would rather die than say those two words.

"Make big money, reach the pinnacle to sponsor you."

If not, she’d be afraid she couldn’t walk upright off the plane.

She had experienced firsthand the fierceness of this man’s tenacity.

He had lived many years but this was the first time someone said they wanted to make money to sponsor him.

Although he knew what she initially wanted to say wasn’t this.

But he had to admit, Jiang Ruan’s words truly pleased him.

He smiled charmingly, nodding, "Alright, wait until you make big money and reach the pinnacle to sponsor me."

"But I’m not that easy to support, you need to be mentally prepared."

Jiang Ruan replied, "No problem, if I have ten million, I’ll spend ten million on you, and if it’s all gone, well, then you’ll just have to join me in eating instant noodles."

"No choice, through thick and thin together."

Jiang Ruan shrugged, not finding it difficult at all.

"Instant noodles?" He was directly amused by her, his shoulders shaking lightly, tears even forming at the corners of his eyes from laughter.

"Yeah, haven’t you heard the saying, when rich don’t eat instant noodles, when poor only love instant noodles, with noodles in hand, the world in my grasp. As long as instant noodles exist in this world, even in poverty, we won’t starve."

"After all, a pack of Kang Shi Fu instant noodles is just three and a half yuan."

Jiang Ruan counted on her fingers, "A million-worth of instant noodles, probably won’t even fit in our villa."

He sighed helplessly, "Sometimes I really want to open up your head to see what’s inside, all the strange and quirky things."

"Don’t worry, there won’t be a day where you can only eat instant noodles."

Jiang Ruan chuckled, sticking out her tongue, "I’m just joking with you."

She blinked her eyes, particularly sincere.

-

The plane arrived at the castle villa.

Getting off the plane, the familiar house was right in front of her, a sense of coming home filled her, Jiang Ruan wrapped in a thick coat.

Took a deep breath, sighed, "Ah, home is still the best."

The company had already resumed work, but there was not much happening these few days, Sister Qin told her to continue resting, as many companies and brands haven’t resumed work yet after the new year.

He, however, was very busy, after the plane landed and they ate, he went back to work at the company.

Leaving early and returning late every day, Jiang Ruan could only see him at night, either in the bedroom or the study.

By the time she woke up the next day, it was already afternoon, and there was no one beside her.

But she wasn’t anxious, after all, she’d been injured and both her wrists had just healed, needing some time to recover.

She got medication from the doctor to remove scars.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome if scars were accidentally left.

She didn’t expect trouble to come falling from the sky while she was at home.
