Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Take a Deep Breath, Don’t Faint from Excitement!

For this matter, He Lili was so worried last night that she hardly slept at all.

So here she was today, immediately seeking out Xu Qianli for a solution.

She was at her wit’s end and it was up to Xu Qianli to make the decisions.

Xu Qianli remained unruffled, took He Lili’s little hand, and brought it to his lips for a quick peck before whispering in her ear,

"It’s just a trifle, nothing worth worrying about."

"About this matter, I was actually looking to discuss it with you. Now that you’re here, it’s perfect timing. I’ll tell you something."

"Before I reveal it, take a few deep breaths so you don’t faint from excitement later on."

Seeing Xu Qianli so serious, and mentioning the possibility of her fainting from excitement, He Lili couldn’t help but be amused and chuckled, "Cut it out, you don’t know that your big sister has weathered great storms. What could possibly make He Lili faint?"

"You said it, so I’m going to say it then."

"Sister Lili, actually, I just obtained a low-interest loan, and it’s not a small sum either. It’s enough to cover the three billion shortfall and there’s a lot left over. I could even take over the remaining tourist projects in Qingshan Town without any issue!"

"As for the specific amount, twenty billion!"

Xu Qianli casually mentioned the funds he had at his disposal.

With such a large amount of money coming in, he had to put it to good use.

And the beautiful He Lili was undoubtedly his first choice. He needed to use He Lili’s help to invest the money into the market.

And the currently best project seemed to be the Qingshan Town tourism development plan.

With the right management, not only would it yield a massive economic return and a high rate of return, but it would also allow him to achieve extraordinary political accomplishments and climb the ranks.

In short, it was an excellent deal, a surefire win.

After listening to him, He Lili was silent for a moment and then narrowed her eyes slightly, poking Xu Qianli in the chest.

"Xu Qianli, you’re something else. I just realized you are quite the joker, enjoying making jokes."

"But this kind of joke, it’s not funny at all, alright?"

"If you said you could get twenty billion, I might have believed you a bit, but you had to say two hundred billion."

"Do you know how much two hundred billion is? Even if you hauled it by truck, it would take several vehicles to transport that much money. How could you possibly get your hands on that amount?"

"Come on, stop joking."

He Lili didn’t believe it, not at all.

She knew Xu Qianli was remarkable, but no matter how remarkable, getting two hundred billion was impossible, as that was an astronomical figure.

Let alone a department-level cadre like Xu Qianli, how many in Zhongzhou City could come up with that?

Seeing her reaction, Xu Qianli knew any explanation would be futile, so he simply took out his phone and sent He Lili’s account information to Fan Yao, instructing her to deposit the money into that account.

Seeing Xu Qianli’s earnest demeanor, He Lili was again entertained, declaring that Xu Qianli was too funny, wondering how long he would keep up the joke.

Before long, He Lili’s phone started ringing. Taking it out, she saw an unfamiliar number; answering, she found out it was the Zhongzhou City bank manager calling to butter her up with extremely humble and earnest words, lower than any posture she’d expected, which left He Lili dumbfounded.

She had once met the Zhongzhou City bank manager at a wine reception, where many tycoons with hundreds of millions or billions of assets were very humble before this famed "God of Wealth" of Zhongzhou City. Why would such a person suddenly call to ingratiate himself, and with such a tone of flattery?

Before the call ended, her phone beeped with an account balance alert.

Looking closely, the head of the figure was a 2, followed by a series of zeros.

"One, two, three..."

After repeatedly checking four or five times, He Lili was certain the amount was indeed twenty billion, and she suddenly turned to look at Xu Qianli.

Her expression was very odd, eyes wide open, mouth agape then shut, wanting to say something but unable to speak. In the end, she ran out of breath and fainted, collapsing into Xu Qianli’s arms.

"Ah, Lili sis, why did you faint? Didn’t you say you’ve seen it all and could handle it?"

Xu Qianli hurried to aid her, laying her flat on the couch, slightly opening her collar to help her breathe more smoothly, pressing her acupoint on the hand and rubbing her temples. After quite a bit of fuss, she was finally revived.

"Huff..."

He Lili took a deep breath, coming around.

As soon as she woke up, she didn’t do anything else but immediately grabbed her phone to check the account balance again.

"Oh my gosh, twenty billion, it’s really twenty billion!"

"You little rascal, Xu Qianli, you actually managed to get so much money, I’m impressed."

"Twenty billion, a full twenty billion, where did you get it from? Even robbing ten banks wouldn’t amount to that much."

"Quick, tell me, spill it, tell me!"

In her excitement, He Lili threw herself into Xu Qianli’s arms, shaking his neck non-stop.

Her figure was already incredible, full of feminine charm, and with such swaying, Xu Qianli couldn’t help but swallow, "Lili sis, calm down, at this rate, I might make a mistake."

Detecting Xu Qianli’s quickened heartbeat and noticing his fervent gaze, He Lili giggled and gave a hard pat on his chest.

"Pssh, you bad boy, I decided long ago to be your woman and bear your children in the future. If you want to make a mistake, then make it. Who’s afraid of who?"

With a gentle voice, He Lili tiptoed and planted a kiss on Xu Qianli’s cheek.

At that moment, Xu Qianli lost control, pulling He Lili close with the intention of kissing her lips.

"No way!"

He Lili quickly blocked Xu Qianli, "No, first tell me, where did you get all that money from? If you don’t explain this to me, I’ll go mad."

"Alright, I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you everything..."

Xu Qianli hugged He Lili and sat down, telling her everything from start to finish.

Including how he met Fan Yao, how they got together, later gained her parents’ approval, and finally how he got the twenty billion, he divulged everything to He Lili, holding nothing back.

After hearing Xu Qianli’s story, He Lili’s eyes became even more peculiar as she sized him up, speaking softly.

"You really are something. How can you, a man, be so bad and rack up such emotional debts everywhere?"

"And with all that money, why give it to me? Do you trust me that much?"

"Twenty billion, aren’t you afraid I’ll run off with it or squander it all away?"

Xu Qianli said, "It’s still the same answer as last time; I trust you, Lili sis. Don’t ask why; I just do. Deep down, I feel you’re a trustworthy woman!"

"You... gonna kill me, how am I supposed to handle you saying that, making me love you even more?"

"I was already madly in love with you, and now you treat me like this, I’m simply smitten."

"Xu Qianli, you rascal, why wait for a specific day when today is as good as any? Should I become yours today, and carry your child?"

Uttering these tender words, He Lili pouted her lips and posed ready to give and receive.
