The grievances suppressed in her heart suddenly erupted.

Gu Bai watched her tears flow down her cheeks and frowned slightly.

He always thought Di Li Ruo Ba was like Wu Xuanyi, driven by ambition, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.

Then, Gu Bai opened his palm, and the car's interior light reflected a gentle pink glow from the "Lover's Heart."

"See, why are you crying? Isn't it still here?"

Di Li Ruo Ba's eyes instantly brightened, and regardless of the tear streaks on her face, she reached out to take it. Gu Bai immediately grabbed her hand with his large palm.

"Do you still want it now?"

Di Li Ruo Ba struggled a bit but realized she couldn't break free, then said, "I do! Why wouldn't I?"

Hearing this, Gu Bai released her hand and personally put the diamond ring back on her finger.

"In the future, if I give you something, you can refuse it, but if you don't want it, just throw it away directly."

"This is 5.2 million! I don't even get that much for a movie role now. I thought you'd just toss it away..."

Gazing at the diamond on her ring finger, Di Li Ruo Ba was still a bit shaken.

"Do you think 5 million is a lot for me?"

"..."

What a show-off, but there was no way to refute it.

"Are you mentally prepared to accept this ring?"

The sky legend slowly started, and Gu Bai asked again.

"I don't know..."

"I'm also not interested in playing any love games with anyone right now. Of these 13 rings, apart from the one on your hand, I'll give the other 10 to others. You know who I'm giving them to.

If you can't accept it, I'll send you back now, and we won't have any entanglements afterwards. Consider this ring a gift from me."

For a moment, Di Li Ruo Ba didn't know how to respond.

Gu Bai continued, "Of course, it's just the two of us right now. If you're willing, I can offer you some compensation. Within my abilities, I can fulfill one of your conditions. For example, if you want to become a top TV actor like Yang Function, or if you want to develop in the film industry, I can help you."

Di Li Ruo Ba's eyes flickered, and she weakly said, "Can I change my condition?"

Gu Bai let out a light laugh.

Just as he thought, Di Li Ruo Ba was much like Wu Xuanyi, only her appetite seemed bigger.

"Let's hear it first."

After hesitating for a long time, Di Li Ruo Ba finally spoke.

"This request might be a bit much... If you don't agree, just forget it."

Thinking she was about to make an outrageous demand, Gu Bai kept his disdain hidden and continued to smile, "Just say it first."

"Can you spend more time with me than with them?"

"Just this?"

Gu Bai was instantly stunned.

He originally thought she would make some excessive demand, but it turned out she just wanted him to spend more time with her?

Thinking of this, Gu Bai looked at her face and continued, "Are you sure this is your request? You should know how generous my offer is. Even if you asked for a billion now, I could have someone transfer it to you immediately."

In response to Gu Bai's words, Di Li Ruo Ba shook her head, her voice still soft.

"I don't want money. What I earn now is enough. If it's not possible, just forget it... Pretend I never made this request."

Gu Bai stared intently into her eyes, trying to discern something from them.

Di Li Ruo Ba's gaze was candid as she met Gu Bai's eyes.

In the end, it was Gu Bai who looked away first.

"I can fulfill this request for you."

It's safe to say Di Li Ruo Ba's condition was the easiest to accomplish, yet the one most beneficial to her, allowing Gu Bai to spend more time with her, which was worth more than a billion.

Gu Bai wasn't sure if Di Li Ruo Ba's choice was out of weighing benefits or a sincere desire for him to spend more time with her. However, no matter the reason, it was not important to Gu Bai; could a woman manipulate him around her finger?

And hearing Gu Bai's answer, Di Li Ruo Ba immediately smiled happily, even though traces of tears still clung to her face.

As the car approached the Yihetuan Original Villa District, Gu Bai suddenly remembered something and asked Di Li Ruo Ba, "Did you read 'Divine Tomb' that I asked you to?"

At the mention of this, Di Li Ruo Ba expressed great excitement and said, "I did! Not only 'Divine Tomb', I also finished 'Heaven's Cover'! Now I'm following 'Perfect World'!"

Black lines slipped from Gu Bai's forehead as he only intended for Di Li Ruo Ba to familiarize herself with the roles to see what fits her, given that the movie 'Divine Tomb' would closely align with the original work, with little difference between the novel and the script. But he never expected to cultivate a bookworm in just a few weeks, seeing over 10 million words.

"So which character do you like in Divine Tomb?"

Di Li Ruo Ba didn't hesitate and directly answered, "Tantai Xuan!"

"Oh?"

As a veteran bookworm who's read 'Divine Tomb' more than ten times, Tantai Xuan should count as the female lead, being a character throughout the novel, with undeniable popularity among readers.

Gu Bai's interest was piqued, and he asked, "How do you see Tantai Xuan?"

"Intelligent and cunning, she goes to great lengths to achieve her goals but has her bottom line. At least she isn't someone who disregards others' lives and kills indiscriminately. She is committed to pursuing power but not devoid of emotions. Her silent gaze in the Tomb of the Demon Lord and her melancholic sigh on Fengdu Mountain reveal her inner secrets. However, though she still has sincerity, it is an enigmatic sincerity. No one truly knows what she's thinking, which inevitably makes people wary."
