Chapter 1619: Chapter 1620: This Woman Looks at Him with Colored Eyes

Gu Linxi took another pair of disposable wooden chopsticks from the chopstick holder, snapped them open, and poked around the fragrant spicy-sour noodles in her bowl with the chopsticks, bringing the bean sprouts to the top. Savoring the fresh aroma of the noodles, she focused all her attention on eating, answering without looking up, "Not really, just think you’re like a young master who doesn’t partake in earthly food, worried you wouldn’t know how to do it, so I helped you open them."

"..."

She took a bite; the chewy sweet potato noodles soaked in the spicy and fresh soup were incredibly flavorful, so good that it made her want to swallow her tongue. The bean sprouts were crispy and not overcooked at all, and there were some fried peas and big mustard chunks inside; with one bite, she felt utterly satisfied.

"Didn’t you just give the taxi driver an extra one hundred yuan? No normal person would give so much for no reason. Only Mr. Cui is that generous."

Cui Jiangjing thought she was going to say something. When he saw she liked bean sprouts, he quietly transferred all the untouched bean sprouts from his bowl to hers, his almond eyes slightly lifting as he leisurely said, "Even if I don’t rely on the Cui Family, I could still support you. Do you know how much I earn from performing a surgery?"

Gu Linxi lifted her eyelids to glance at him.

He inexplicably recalled her mysteriously unclear income and swallowed back his words, "Forget it. Anyway, I’m very good at earning money! Better than most men! Even if my last name wasn’t Cui, I wouldn’t make you follow me to drink porridge."

"Besides, I didn’t give him money for nothing. I gave him one hundred yuan to thank him for not waking you up while you slept. Aren’t you very tired? I’m your boyfriend; it’s only right for me to spend money for my girlfriend. It’s not extravagant wastefulness, it’s not being oblivious to worldly suffering!"

He made an extensive and righteous argument, and Gu Linxi hummed in acknowledgment, lowered her eyelids again, took a big mouthful of spicy-sour noodles, then leisurely raised her head, looking at him with those slightly upturned eyes, "Did I say you are oblivious to worldly suffering?"

This woman!

Cui Jiangjing was almost touched by her once again, his hands on the table clenched slightly, his back straight, "That’s exactly what you meant!"

Supporting his chin with one hand, he gazed intensely at the person in front of him, speaking in a steady tone, "I feel like you especially love to view me with colored glasses. You previously assumed I was a playboy and pursued you just for fun, which I admit, I indeed had a reckless period in the past. But pinning the oblivious to worldly suffering label on me is really unfounded. I don’t believe I’ve ever exhibited such a flaw in front of you, Xixi; you can’t just single-handedly sentence me."

"You always view my actions through tinted glasses. When will you actually like me? Hmm?"

Gu Linxi reluctantly put down her chopsticks, temporarily giving up her beloved spicy-sour noodles, and asked him, "Do you know what one hundred yuan can do for a regular family?"

"Hmm? What can it do?"

She seriously replied, "For a moderately well-off family, one hundred yuan can cover a day’s household expenses for the whole family. For an average family, one hundred yuan can buy groceries for two to three days. For those in poorer financial conditions, one hundred yuan might last even longer. But for you, one hundred yuan might be no different from a cent."

"Because I can earn money."

Cui Jiangjing raised his eyes, interrupting her words, "I can earn more than them; the money I earn from working hard isn’t just for show; I want to spend it on my girlfriend. Whether it’s one hundred yuan, one thousand yuan, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million, when spent on my darling, I don’t feel any heartache. I’m not lying at home having my parents give me money to support my girlfriend; I want the money I earn myself to make my girlfriend live a little comfortably, is that wrong?"
