Am I such a person?

"What are you doing?"

"What? I am already done with my shower, so let's get on with it."

Looking at Wen Qing's blushing face, Han Li understood what she meant, but he could hardly believe it.

'My innocence is in danger.'

"Or do you also want to take one?"

"Hey, what brought this on? I thought we were doing just fine, but if something like this happens, it will get awkward between us."

"…"

Wen Qing was dazed for a minute before she ran back into her room and slammed the door shut.

Han Li could hear her somewhat muffled scream.

'She must be thoroughly embarrassed, isn't she?'

He had to wait for twenty minutes before Wen Qing came back to the living room wearing shorts and a tank top, giving Han Li quite a hard time maintaining eye contact.

Her entire face was red and her hair hung loosely behind her, giving her a maiden's charm. Han Li almost started cussing himself for missing such an opportunity.

"I-I normally don't do this. It's just that you've treated me so well, I thought…"

"Am I such a person?"

"Yes."

"…"

Han Li could not deny it. If money was enough to smash someone of Wen Qing's class, he would willingly spend it, but that was that, and this was this.

Han Li had kind of hit it off with Wen Qing and he was comfortable with the way things are. It might have to do with the fact that he was using her to soothe his wounded heart, but that did not mean that he did not care for her.

Maybe he didn't care that much, but his principles simply did not allow him to do such a thing.

If Wen Qing was a gold digger, that was another story, but Han Li had come to like this lovely mature lady who was quite cute for her age.

He felt comfortable with around her, and he was not ready to change their relationship. If he slept with her under these circumstances, Han Li was sure that their relationship would turn into something unsightly.

"Even if I am, I didn't treat you like that just to get you to bed. Or, are you eyeing my innocence? I must say that I will only sleep with my wife after marriage."

Han Li said exaggeratedly as he tried to lighten the mood. He also casually revealed a 'secret' to make Wen Qing feel less embarrassed.

Wen Qing giggled at his theatrics and moved to sit beside him.

"You're still a virgin? How old are you?"

"Hey?!"

Han Li sighed in relief seeing that Wen Qing no longer felt awkward and was even teasing him. The only thing that he felt helpless about was how unguarded this girl was.

She was so close that he could smell a fragrance making him a bit restless. It was a good thing that he was used to suppressing himself or even he would not know what he would have done.

It was easier if you had no experience.

"What do you want to eat for lunch? I can cook for you."

"Anything with rice. A pork bowl would be great."

"…"

"You know that you're rich right?"

"Who said that a rich guy can't enjoy a simple pork bowl?"

"Fresh out of pork, how about a chicken creole?"

"You got chicken but no pork? What a failure. Creole sounds good too."

"Hahaha, give me a couple of minutes. It'll be ready soon."

"Do you need help?"

"No, you are my guest. Behave like one."

"Say that after you behave like a proper host. Who pimps themselves just like that?"

"You!?"

Wen Qing finally went to the kitchen to cook after wrestling with Han Li for a while.

'This girl is too dangerous. If she does this a few more times…'

Han Li looked at Wen Qing wearing an apron and handling ingredients and he inexplicably felt like she'd make a good wife.

'What are you thinking? You just got rich, nothing has changed and you're still the same loser who got his 'wife' stolen. Ah, my heart.'

Han Li grimaced as he stopped thinking of these things. It was better to avoid any such things and just wait. His heart was not ready for another wound.

He had been avoiding the subject since he got the system and distracted himself with spending and enjoying luxury and Wen Qing's company, but every now and then, he would remember Mengmeng and feel very empty inside.

It was too painful to think about. It was better to do something else.

Han Li took out his phone and started looking for ways of spending money. The internet had all sorts of things that could cost a pretty penny.

Just sitting there, he had downloaded a couple of games and software that cost a couple thousand yuan. He had never looked at these kinds of software before but now he was capable of it.

There were also these communities and newsletters that he subscribed but they were only a drop in the bucket compared to what he was at liberty to spend.

"Touring services sound nice. I have hardly seen Shangwei and its attractions."

Shangwei was very popular among tourists. Han Li was just too poor to afford these things and too busy to find time for even the few that he could. But things were different now.

"This agency seems quite popular, you have to queue just to get a tour guide. Oh, college girls as tour guides? Now that's something."

Han Li looked at the agency and their popularity was no joke. He even thought that they were offering more than touring services.

"I have to look into it. Let's take the highest service they can offer. 56,000 yuan? These people know how to make money, and hopefully, spend it."

Han Li booked himself for tomorrow and it was immediately confirmed.

This was the difference in privileges for a premium and a regular. There were people still waiting in line but he already got a confirmation the moment he paid for the service.

"Brother Han, the food is ready."

"Yeah, coming."

Han Li took in the aroma lingering in the air as he made his way to the dining table. He was quite excited for some reason to taste Wen Qing's food.
