“It’s true.” Cao Su tilted his head and looked at the beautiful and fair girl beside him, who admitted it frankly. He smiled and said, “Looks like I need to give you a reason. Do you want to hear the truth or the lie?”

Lu Zi couldn’t help but smile. She walked briskly and said, “Let’s hear it.”

It was past nine at night in Shencheng City. There were few pedestrians on the street outside the east gate of the industrial park of the Da Lan Corporation. The weather was hot and humid. Cao Su brought Lu Zi and slowly turned towards the main road opposite the main entrance. He smiled and said, “A lie would be talking about philosophy and human nature with you. In the end, you would come to the conclusion that I was just indulging myself for a while, and we’d both go on our own way. Should this be forgiven or accepted by you?”

Lu Zi had a faint smile on her face. She was carrying a pink lady’s bag. She looked at Cao Su with her big eyes and asked, “What about the truth?”

Cao Su smiled as he looked at the bright moon in the sky. He slowly said, “Everyone takes what they need!”

Lu Zi was silent momentarily and could not help but complain, “A man is rich, and a woman is beautiful.” Brother Cao had spent millions in the bar. He was after her beauty, and she was after his wealth. He enjoyed the vanity of being envied!

“Little Zi, that’s just the initial attraction factor,” Cao Su smiled and said. “Let’s put it this way. During the date, if both the man and woman are in a good mood, it is natural for them to exercise later on. The key is after the deed is done.

“For those with families and emotional ties, that’ll be hard to say. It is immoral! As for a man like me who has no restraints, what kind of person would you think I am after you find out? Therefore, I have to avoid acquaintances for such private matters.”

Lu Zi’s small face was slightly hot, and she said in amusement, “Brother Cao, just because you’re avoiding acquaintances, does that mean nothing happened? Isn’t this self-deception?”

Cao Su smiled again and said frankly, “It’s hard for us mortals of the greater world to be sincere! Therefore, this is a question of choosing one. Some people would choose to enjoy themselves while they could, leaving no regrets. Some people choose to pause and leave.

“Little Zi, do you live in that building in Big Yellow Village?”

As they spoke, the two of them turned from the main entrance to the street outside the west gate. Generally speaking, new students would stay in Big Yellow Village. The rent was cheap, and it was close to the company.

“Brother Cao, there’s no need.”

“I’ll send you downstairs,” Cao Su said. Don’t refuse. “It’s late at night, and you’re a girl who drank. I brought you out, so I definitely have to be responsible for you.”

Lu Zi’s heart felt warm. “Block 78. Brother Cao, your words are ambiguous. I don’t want you to take responsibility!”

She rejected him again.

Actually, chatting with Brother Cao was very relaxing and comfortable. Wealth did not make people arrogant and arrogant. However, judging from his values, he did not seem like a man who would be loyal to love.

“Is there such a good thing?” Cao Su said deliberately.

“Go to hell!” Of course, Lu Zi understood what he meant: ‘I don’t have to take responsibility after having sex with her.’ Being teased, she couldn’t help but slap Cao Su’s arm.

Cao Su smiled gently. “Alright, Little Zi, don’t be angry. I’ll give you a gift as an apology.” As he spoke, he took out his car keys from his handbag and pressed them. The Bentley parked by the roadside flashed its lights.

He lifted the trunk.

“Ah!” Lu Zi covered her mouth in surprise. She didn’t know much about luxury cars. However, judging from the car’s design, it must be very expensive. So Brother Cao bought two luxury cars? Then his net worth might far exceed the private discussions between her and her colleagues!

Cao Su took out the gift box from the trunk. It was a Vacheron Constantin watch. Seeing her surprise, he smiled and said, “Little Zi, why are you so surprised? You don’t think I earned a Ferrari just by speculating in the stock market, do you?”

He took out the pink and gold women’s watch from the exquisite box and held her fair and soft hand, gently putting it on her. It was a watch worth 150,000 yuan.

Lu Zi held his handbag with one hand and hurriedly refused, “Brother Cao, I can’t take this!” Her apology just now was just a joke.

Under the bright street lights, the diamonds on the dial glistened. The alligator leather strap softly hugged the tender skin on her wrist. Even though she didn’t know much about watches, she knew that this one was very expensive.

Cao Su gently said, “Take it, Little Zi. You know I liked you. Now that I’ve resigned, I’m giving you a small token of my gratitude.”

Lu Zi’s eyelids lifted slightly, her large clear eyes looking at Cao Su. She had been working in the art design team for about a month. During this period, Brother Cao taught her the trick of the trade. Of course, she somewhat knew that he had a good impression of her.

In fact, with her looks and figure, after she broke up with her boyfriend in her fourth year of university, there were already many people pursuing her. It was just that graduation was approaching, and she had no intention of dating again.

If the ordinary Brother Cao had given her this watch, she would not have accepted it. But now, she had to admit that Brother Cao had messed up her heart.

Not only was Brother Cao extremely rich, but his belly had also disappeared. He was tall and well-proportioned. Her appearance had also become delicate and pretty.

Cao Su was telling the truth. When a thirty-year-old single man saw a beautiful woman and interacted with her, he would naturally have a faint admiration for her. However, he knew that confessing was useless, so he did not say anything. Now, it was naturally different.

He would attend the art design team’s dinner tonight, but this watch had already prepared as a gift in the afternoon.

Cao Su gently looked at the hot body, fair skin, and fragrant beauty under the moonlight. He did not restrain the flames and fantasies in his heart. He hugged her slender waist and gently kissed her soft and sweet little mouth.

Lu Zi was a little stunned. Her eyes flew wide open. She did not expect Brother Cao to take the initiative to attack. The fragrant beauty moaned a few times and slowly became as limp as a delicate flower.

After a while, Lu Zi looked at Cao Su with his big eyes and asked faintly, “Brother Cao, is it time for me to make the choice you mentioned?”

Cao Su was extremely pleased and comfortable at this moment. He bent over and looked at her. “Little Zi.”

Lu Zi said: “I’m not happy.”

Lu Zi could not help but coquettishly stomp on Cao Su’s foot. Her face was flushed red as she said shyly, “Brother Cao, I’m biting you!”

Cao Su chuckled. The moonlight shone on the two people beside the car like water. There was a woman in love, lured by an auspicious man.

Lu Zi lived in Room 402, Block 78, Rhubarb Village. It was late at night, and the lights were bright in the room, but the thick curtains were drawn, forming a private and quiet space.

Lu Zi nestled in Cao Su’s embrace. Her fair and beautiful face was moist and charming as she said softly, Brother Cao, your phone is ringing.”

Cao Su gently stroked her silky hair and said, “I don’t care. Little Zi, do you know how charming you are?”

Lu Zi’s pretty face was pink, and her bright eyes were seductive as she offered a kiss. Then, she flipped over and took her phone over to take a look. Her phone rang a few times. She had also accumulated quite a few messages on WeChat.

Cao Su hugged the fragrant beauty and watched her flip through the messages on her phone. It was all her pursuers who cared about her. After all, she had left for more than an hour in the middle of the night alone, and many people were happy to care about her.

While you guys cheered for the goddess, the goddess was cheering for me.

Zhan Baiyu made two phone calls and sent more than ten WeChat messages.

“Lu Zi, are you alright? Why aren’t you singing?”

“Did you go back? Why didn’t you pick up my call? I don’t mean anything else. I’m just concerned. I’m the one who organized this dinner today. I’ll definitely send you all back safely.”

“Xiao Lu, I’m sorry! I couldn’t help but call you again. If it’s convenient, please tell me your location.”

“Little Lu, you’re not with Cao Su, are you?”

“Sorry, I should’ve trusted you. My mind is a little messed up right now, so I won’t send you a message for now. Call me when you have time. As late as you want.”

Cao Su laughed in his heart. This kid was Little Zi’s simp!

[The host is extremely happy. A random mission has been triggered.]

[Mission: Thoughts of Reading]

[You are required to share your thoughts on a classic book and gain the approval of others.

[Reward: One Age Reduction Fruit.]

Cao Su was overjoyed. This Zhan Baiyu kid enabled him to trigger two random missions tonight.

I didn’t know he was a Hand of Midas!
