How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?

The backseat’s spacious area was converted into dual seating, which definitely increased comfort, but as for practicality... it seems just average...

A big seven-seater business vehicle can’t even accommodate three people...

"Maybe I just won’t go up then..."

Tao Miaomiao said tentatively from the side...

But before she could finish her sentence, Gu Xinran smacked her naive head.

"Are you stupid? Not going out when you have the chance? Do you really want to go back to being a corporate slave? I’ve already arranged it with Qianqian, and she will come pick us up with Leyi in a while!"

Tao Miaomiao seemed to be used to acquiescence...

Instead of retorting after being criticized by Gu Xinran, she even apologized, hugging her arm...

"Stop stop stop! Apologizing again, huh! I’m fining you to only say ’sorry’ 10 times today! You’ve already said it 8 times, and this is the 9th, you have one chance left!"

Watching the two of them, Gu Heng couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head...

A girl with the personality like Tao Miaomiao would be bullied to death if she were placed next to people with even a slight bit of ill intent...

Except when it’s his own cousin...

Besides being a bit careless, she didn’t have a bad thought in her mind and didn’t take advantage of her at all...

As Gu Heng frowned, watching Gu Xinran scolding Tao Miaomiao and thinking about how to solve the situation, Xu Ying’s voice rang out beside him.

"Mr. Gu, should I ask the hotel to arrange another car? "

"Would that be troublesome?"

Xu Ying hurriedly said, "Not at all. The hotel is very close to the Global Financial Center; it will only take a few minutes...

However, the other vehicle may not be as comfortable as this one because the one you’re currently in is a special custom model, and our entire hotel group has only this one."

Gu Heng waved his hand indifferently, "It’s fine, just arrange another car as quickly as possible."

Following Gu Heng’s instructions, Xu Ying quickly stepped aside to make a phone call...

Meanwhile, Gu Xinran was sizing up Gu Heng with a twinkle in her eye...

Seeing her playful expression, Gu Heng noogied her on the head: "What are you looking at? Don’t recognize me?!"

After crying out in pain, Gu Xinran held her head and said with a wince, "No, it’s not that!"

"It’s just that I’ve noticed you’ve changed, brother. You’re becoming a bit like my boss. Are you influenced by Director Lin? "

Hearing Gu Xinran’s words, Gu Heng just glanced at her lightly without offering an explanation.

Lin Ran was right...

He had indeed changed.

The reason Gu Xinran thought he was becoming like her boss...

Was purely because Gu Heng was now slowly getting used to bossing around those who served him...

Initially, Gu Heng would have hesitated to inconvenience others, but not anymore. He was beginning to enjoy the privileges that money brought him; this was the first lesson the system taught him, and he was now starting to grasp the basics...

"Right, hand me the thing Lin Ran gave me."

"Oh right, I almost forgot. It’s quite heavy."

While speaking, she passed the box she was holding to Gu Heng...

"Open it and see what’s inside?"

As Gu Heng took the box and the curious Gu Xinran leaned in, he didn’t mind and opened the package in front of her. He was also quite curious...

Upon unwrapping it, they saw a transparent box made of an unknown material...

Inside the box were seven differently colored Ultraman Tiga action figures, each in a different pose...

The figures were exquisitely crafted...

So exquisite that, besides being small in scale—an each only tens of centimeters tall—they were indistinguishable from the Ultraman on TV...

Compared to the cheap ones he collected in his childhood for a few bucks each, these were substantially superior...

"What’s this?"

"Brother, how boring can you and Director Lin get?"

"This is what you two exchange as gifts? She gives you an Ultraman, did you give her a Barbie doll in return?"

It wasn’t until she saw clearly what was in the box that Gu Xinran’s gossip fire was extinguished as she couldn’t help but tease...

However, Gu Heng faced her teasing with silence, instead, a faint smile appeared on his lips...

He hadn’t expected Lin Ran to be so thoughtful...

Back at his place, he casually mentioned his childhood regrets, and she remembered it...

And actually sent him such a set...

Speaking frankly, with his current wealth, anything Lin Ran could gift him was easily within his reach...

What made Gu Heng smile was the realization that aside from himself, there really was someone who cared about his broken childhood...

But the sentimentality only lasted a moment before the smile on Gu Heng’s lips faded again...

Damn it...

The emotional debt he owed to Lin Ran...

Seemed to have grown a little more... Nôv(el)B\\jnn

But a heavy debt isn’t burdensome; since he aspired to be a playboy, how could he be swayed by a woman?

He might as well focus a bit more on her in the future...

.....

A few minutes later, an Audi A8 drove from a distance and parked steadily beside the Toyota Alphard.

Xu Ying’s voice also followed,

"Mr. Gu, the car is here."

Gu Heng nodded, then turned to Gu Xinran, who was still standing by the side, "Are you two riding in this one or that one?"

Gu Xinran giggled, "I’ll ride in this one with you!"

As if he had guessed Gu Xinran’s choice, Gu Heng smiled, shook his head, and got out of the car: "Go on, get in."

"Hehe~ Thanks, brother!"

With that, she cheerfully pulled the still-bewildered Tao Miaomiao onto the car...
