How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?

Chapter 36: Having a Boyfriend = 50% Increased Attack Speed and Critical Hit Rate

A night’s time quietly passed...

By the time Gu Heng woke up, it was already after nine in the morning...

Indeed, as the old saying goes, it’s hard to switch from luxury to frugality, but damn easy to go from frugality to luxury. The habit of two years, waking up at eight o’clock in the morning, was corrected in just two days...

Right in front of Gu Heng’s room was a huge artificial lake. At this moment, a light mist was swirling around the pavilion in the center of the lake, dreamy and illusory. The transparent glass walls clearly displayed this scene before his eyes...

Sitting up, he stretched...

A series of crackling sounds at his joints followed, spreading a sense of refreshment throughout his body, involuntarily drawing a sigh from him...

No wonder those wealthy people always seem to be in such good spirits...

Day by day, doing nothing special, with high-class wine to aid sleep, and beautiful female butlers to provide massage and therapy at night, how could their spirits not be lifted?

Casually snapping a photo of himself getting out of bed, then another of the pavilion on the lake, he paired it with the pretentious caption, "Waking up to a new day, the sunshine will gently open your window," and uploaded it to his circle of friends...

Task completed!

What is life?

This is what you call living!

....

....

After freshening up simply and changing his clothes, Gu Heng returned to his room and pressed the private butler hotline for his room.

After only two rings, Fang Xun’s extremely gentle voice came through to Gu Heng’s ear.

"Good morning, Mr. Gu. How was your rest last night?"

At the sound of her voice, Gu Heng couldn’t help but get restless...

In fact, during last night’s therapy, he had nearly lost his self-control, wanting to ask Fang Xun if there were any special services available. However, due to his shallow social experience and thin-skinned nature, he embarrassingly didn’t dare to ask...

If it had been a veteran, well-acquainted with the various high-end bathhouses, they probably would have asked right away, not caring whether it was possible or not. If not, they would just pay for it...

With a figure and attractiveness like Fang Xun’s, your average person wouldn’t be able to match up. Plus, with the professional bonus of being a five-star hotel butler, it’s really hard for any man to resist...

Brushing aside the frivolous thoughts in his mind, Gu Heng responded, "Not bad, I was wondering if the hotel is still serving meals now?"

"Yes, our hotel restaurant operates 24 hours. What would you like to eat, Mr. Gu? Do you need me to bring it to your room, or would you prefer to dine at the restaurant?"

Gu Heng thought for a moment, then continued, "I’ll go to the restaurant directly. It’s no fun eating alone in my room."

"Okay, Mr. Gu, please wait in your room for a moment. I’ll come to take you there shortly."

After Gu Heng acknowledged, he hung up the phone...

...

It wasn’t long before Fang Xun, in her high heels, arrived in front of Gu Heng.

She must have run here, as her blouse under the small suit jacket ballooned with her slightly hurried breathing. She respectfully said to Gu Heng, "Mr. Gu, shall we go to the restaurant now?"

"Let’s go."

After the contact they had last night, they had become somewhat better acquainted.

Fang Xun was no longer as reserved as before. Looking at the new LV casual jacket Gu Heng had changed into, she made a courteous remark, "Mr. Gu, you look even sharper today."

Being complimented is always pleasing, especially by a beautiful woman.

Once his vanity was satisfied, Gu Heng’s mood significantly improved, and he said with a laugh, "I also think this outfit looks better on you. How should I put it... yesterday’s outfit was too casual. Today feels more formal. Is this what you call ’uniform temptation’?"

Fang Xun covered her mouth and chuckled, not minding Gu Heng’s teasing at all, "Turns out Mr. Gu likes this style~"

"The style isn’t important; the temptation depends on who wears it. After all, not everyone can pull off the look you have on."

The confidence boost from his bank account balance had transformed Gu Heng from stuttering around beautiful women to the calm and collected figure he presented now.

"Mr. Gu must not be very old, right?"

Instead of continuing the slightly flirtatious conversation, Fang Xun took the initiative to change the subject...

Gu Heng didn’t keep flirting either. After all, a man is charming when he’s just a bit lustful, but crossing the line turns him into a creep. So, he nodded and said, "About that, I’m just one of the very first born after 2000."

Upon hearing Gu Heng’s reply, Fang Xun’s eyes lit up, but she quickly masked her expression.

"Indeed, the differences between people are huge. When I was 23, I had just graduated and was looking for jobs to fill my belly. Even now, I’ve barely reached the line of food and clothing security. And you, Mr. Gu, can afford to stay in a villa suite in a five-star hotel at 23."

Listening to Fang Xun’s flattery, Gu Heng smiled and said, "The line of food and clothing security? Manager Fang, you’re being modest. Your income must be quite high, right?"

"It might look okay to others, but once you take out the living expenses, there isn’t much left. Plus, I’m already 30. The past few years were spent saving up for a marriage fund with my boyfriend, but we never reached our goal, and now we’re on the brink of breaking up.

I might just return to my hometown after this month and find a decent man to marry."

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng was taken aback...

She has a boyfriend???

At that thought, Gu Heng couldn’t help but mentally slap himself hard.

He was indeed a beast, feeling guilty!

If you truly like someone, how can you care about whether she has a boyfriend or not? Although his liking was somewhat improper.

And besides, wasn’t having a boyfriend even more thrilling?

That was like a direct increase to attack speed and critical hit chance by 50%, right?

What about moral constraints?

Stop joking, he was doing a good deed here. Fang Xun had just said it – she hasn’t saved enough for a marriage fund and was close to breaking up with her boyfriend.

He would definitely not stoop to taking advantage for nothing. Wasn’t this equivalent to contributing to their marriage fund, saving an on-the-rocks relationship, allowing a truly loving couple to be together?

How could this not be considered a great act of merit?

In ancient times, he could have erected a plaque in his honor at the temple of the Matchmaker God.

Gu Heng, who had always prided himself on pure love, underwent a spectacular transformation in just three short days – the dragon slayer turned into the dragon...

Fang Xun had no idea what Gu Heng was thinking. After saying those words, her mood dipped for a bit, but as the two arrived at the restaurant, her basic professional etiquette helped her perk up again. She smiled at Gu Heng and said, "Mr. Gu, here’s the restaurant. This table is exclusively reserved for villa suite guests.

We are serving Cantonese dim sum for breakfast today. Please have a seat while I get the menu for you."

Having said that, she sashayed towards the kitchen with a graceful sway of her hips.

The seat reserved exclusively for him was much more upscale than the other tables. Shortly after Gu Heng sat down, a personal waiter even came to stand by the table...

Observing the quietly dining guests around him, Gu Heng felt an odd sense of strangeness...

Was he now part of that detestable privileged class?

Although he had become the person he used to hate the most, he couldn’t deny it...

The feeling was damn exhilarating...
