Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?

Chapter 306: Chapter 305: Su Mu’s Little Sidekick

"Allen, it seems you’ve seen quite a few brides," Bai Wanting half-joked, half-serious.

"Is it always this close contact?"

She didn’t want Allen’s mind to be consumed with repaying Su Mu.

After all, in China, returning a favor is a matter simply requiring concrete action.

If you keep talking about it, it might actually seem insincere.

Allen didn’t fully understand these nuances of social relationships in China.

Bai Wanting didn’t feel it was appropriate to explain these things to Allen in front of the bridal shop staff.

Seizing on Allen’s remarks, Bai Wanting said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

"No, I just see them when I attend other people’s weddings."

"Ting, you’re the only one in my heart, whether it was in the past, or in the future, it will always be just you," Allen confessed without gauging the appropriateness of public affection.

Bai Wanting wanted to divert Allen’s attention, and in that she succeeded.

What she hadn’t anticipated was Allen professing his love in front of so many people.

If this had been abroad, it wouldn’t have been a big deal at all.

Overseas, people tend to be open and enthusiastic, believing that love should be expressed openly.

But in China it’s different; subtlety is greatly valued here.

Especially in public, Allen’s words seemed a bit too bold.

Had they encountered some conservative old-timers, they might even have been scolded for contributing to the moral decay of society.

"Ting, don’t you believe what I’m saying?" Allen asked, growing anxious as Bai Wanting didn’t respond.

Their relationship was very steady—a fact Allen was quite certain of.

But now, Bai Wanting was pregnant.

Allen had heard that expectant mothers can become prone to wild thoughts and be especially sensitive.

Hence, he wasn’t sure if Bai Wanting’s current behavior was a typical pregnancy reaction.

Allen felt it was better to make his stance clear.

Jiang Xinxuan couldn’t help but laugh, seeing that Allen completely missed the joke.

Of course, Jiang Xinxuan’s laugh was subdued, not an overt guffaw.

After all, Allen was going to be her future cousin-in-law, and Jiang Xinxuan chose to give him some face.

Jiang Xinxuan thought to herself that Su Mu was better in this regard.

No cultural differences, and no barriers in communication whatsoever.

With this thought, Jiang Xinxuan couldn’t help but sneak another glance at Su Mu.

Perhaps out of boredom, Jiang Xinxuan noticed Su Mu picking up his phone again.

Su Mu was indeed bored.

But his current grab for the phone wasn’t just to kill time out of boredom.

It was because his WeChat had just chimed, prompting him to check his phone.

Upon opening WeChat, he saw He Qiya’s avatar.

Su Mu realized that He Qiya had been contacting him quite often lately.

They had just been to Super LM Fitness Center together that morning, and not much time had passed before He Qiya messaged him again.

Su Mu thought he might really be the only person He Qiya could call a friend in China.

Although Su Mu didn’t feel their relationship was that close yet.

But then again, that time on the mountain road, He Qiya had said she considered Su Mu a friend.

Su Mu didn’t feel it was right to correct her, was it?

Su Mu truly believed that He Qiya must be overly bored to keep clinging to this "friendship."

He couldn’t have become He Qiya’s lifeline, could he?

Su Mu teased himself inwardly.

He clicked on He Qiya’s profile picture.

"Su Mu, are you going to the fitness center tomorrow?"

After returning home and pondering for a long time, He Qiya felt it was better to take the initiative and ask.

He Qiya was quite experienced, knowing that waiting for Su Mu to reach out to her was pretty much impossible.

Wasn’t it He Qiya who first asked Su Mu for his contact information, hoping that he would ask her to join him for driving practice?

And what happened?

Up until now, He Qiya had not received a single message that Su Mu had sent to her on his own initiative.

If He Qiya wanted to go driving with Su Mu, she still resorted to the most primitive method.

Wait directly at the intersection!

If she was lucky, He Qiya could catch Su Mu and the two could drive together for a bit.

If she wasn’t lucky, there had been days when He Qiya couldn’t find Su Mu at all.

Therefore, after much deliberation, He Qiya decided to take the initiative.

At least this way, if Su Mu went to the gym, He Qiya wouldn’t miss the chance.

Tomorrow?

Su Mu definitely wouldn’t be going to the gym then.

Su Mu’s exercise routine was more the "fish for two days, dry nets for three" style, and he clearly wouldn’t be checking into the fitness center daily.

Besides, Su Mu’s high-intensity workouts didn’t require him to check in at the fitness center every day.

The effect of one of Su Mu’s workout sessions was even better than a whole month of workouts for those who went to the gym daily.

That’s the advantage of having Champion Physical Fitness.

Su Mu had realized that the system he had acquired really was something that money couldn’t buy.

Being already super wealthy himself, if he had obtained a system that rewarded him with money for check-ins, it wouldn’t have been very interesting.

Now, the system really met Su Mu’s needs; the things that money can’t buy are the truly good things.

"I probably won’t be going to the gym for the next few days, but if you want to go, you can just head there directly."

Su Mu didn’t outright say it, but he implied that He Qiya should just go on her own, and there was no need to wait for him every time.

Mainly, he took into consideration that He Qiya was previously hurt emotionally, so Su Mu’s response was fairly tactful.

"No worries, I was just asking."

"Mainly, I didn’t want you to forget to include me. I’m not in a rush to go to the gym; just remember to call me next time you go."

No sooner had Su Mu sent his message than He Qiya quickly replied.

It seemed as if she was afraid that if she responded a second later, Su Mu would no longer have time to pay attention to her.

Is that how it works?

Su Mu was completely speechless about He Qiya’s line of thinking.

Was He Qiya trying to become his shadow?

Coming to terms with the fact that he had inadvertently gained a little follower, Su Mu felt somewhat helpless.

If he had known He Qiya would cling to him like this, Su Mu felt he shouldn’t have agreed to his mother’s request to treat He Qiya like a little sister and help her integrate more into society from the start.

However, in spite of his thoughts, seeing He Qiya’s progress made Su Mu somewhat pleased.

"Hmm"

A brief message, just one word.

Su Mu himself wasn’t sure when he would go to the gym next, how could he give He Qiya a specific answer?

Seeing Su Mu’s reply, He Qiya consciously refrained from asking any further.

Because at Super LM Fitness Center, He Qiya had come to a conclusion.

That was, whenever Su Mu didn’t want to answer or didn’t like a topic, he would typically dismiss it with a single word.

Clearly, that was what Su Mu was doing now.

Fortunately, Su Mu had at least replied to her, so He Qiya wasn’t too disappointed.
