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

Chapter 54 - 53 Mindset Shift

A warm, sweet, and sticky day passed quickly...

The next afternoon.

Gu Heng stood at the front desk of the Alila Hotel, ready to settle all other charges besides the room fee for these three days.

Fang Xun stood behind Gu Heng, hands on her waist, as gentle as when she first met him three days ago, showing no signs of clinging to him despite their close physical encounter...

The subsequent charges were nothing more than red wine, the lamb from the other day, and a box of six Durex...

In total, it was just a few thousand yuan.

"Mr. Gu, you have been automatically upgraded to our Alila Hotel’s platinum member, and this membership is shared with other hotel brands under the Hyatt Group. In the future, wherever you stay at any hotel under the Hyatt Group, you will enjoy the prestigious benefits of a platinum member.

On behalf of all the staff at Alila Hotel, I wish you a smooth journey ahead."

As the front desk lady offered her respectful farewell, Gu Heng took his car keys and walked out of the hotel...

The imperial blue Bentley Flying Spur glistened in the sunlight, reflecting rays of luxury. The doorman stood with his hands crossed over his thighs, bowed slightly, and respectfully said upon seeing Gu Heng, "Mr. Gu, we’ve cleaned your car for you."

Gu Heng glanced at the doorman and nodded at him kindly.

Then, as if remembering something, he gestured for the doorman to leave, and turned to the always silent Fang Xun following behind him, "The offer I made yesterday still stands, fifty thousand a month, which should be much more comfortable than working hard here as a housekeeper, right?"

Fang Xun smiled lightly after hearing Gu Heng’s words.

She stepped forward, gently raised her head, and carefully straightened Gu Heng’s collar as if she were a virtuous wife...

"Fifty thousand is a lot, but what I want isn’t just that."

At her words, Gu Heng’s eyebrows furrowed slightly...

Although as a mongrel he didn’t know how much those tycoons pay their contract girlfriends, fifty thousand a month should be pretty high, right? Wasn’t that enough?

Fang Xun was intelligent. Seeing his furrowed brows, she already guessed what he was thinking and continued, "Money is just one of my standards for my future life, but I’m greedy, I want more than just money, you know?"

"What else do you want?"

"I also want love, can you give it to me?"

Gu Heng: "..."

What the hell is love? How could he, a man aspiring to be a scoundrel, give her any love?

The suddenly silent Gu Heng had given Fang Xun all the answers she needed, but she didn’t mind at all, her gentle smile still on her face.

"You see, isn’t it true that you also know you can’t give me that?"

"I know you’re very rich, so rich it’s beyond my imagination, but I also know you’re not a good man, you will never devote your heart to a woman, perhaps one day in the future you’ll meet such a woman, but it definitely won’t be me."

"So, rather than wait for the day when you’re done with me and kick me to the curb, I might as well, while I still have some looks, find an average man who can provide for me~

If I can find that man, that would be best, if not, I think my monthly salary of ten to twenty thousand yuan will let me live quite comfortably, don’t you think?"

Listening to Fang Xun’s words, Gu Heng swallowed hard, but couldn’t spit out a word for a long time...

Because even he himself wasn’t sure who he really was.

It had only been a few days since the system was activated, right?

He dared to spend fifty thousand yuan a month to make a woman who just longed for a better life his lover...

Who knows, once he gets used to a rich life in the future, how much more outrageous could he become?

So, Fang Xun’s worry that he might one day kick her to the curb may indeed happen...

"Alright then!"

Fang Xun laughed freely, patted Gu Heng’s collar, which she had straightened to perfection, and said with a smile, "Don’t think too much, just go back.

Wuzhen is so close to Hang City, maybe when I feel lonely one day, I’ll come looking for you to relieve my physical needs, a six-time-a-night man, I’m very satisfied...

Also, I really like the GUCCI necklace you gave me..."

After nodding, Gu Heng opened the car door and sat in the driver’s seat.

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

The car door was gently shut, and the Bentley Flying Spur drove off into the distance without a hint of reluctance...

Watching the pale blue body gradually disappear from her view, the smile on Fang Xun’s face finally vanished...

She was acutely aware of what she had missed out on.

She also knew she might regret it.

But hey...

You’ve got to have some principles...

......

......

He drove the car out of the hotel area.

The song "Blue Lotus" was playing randomly inside the car...

The car window was slowly rolled down.

"Nothing can stop your longing for freedom~"

As the familiar lyrics flowed out of the car into the open air...

Pedestrians on the roadside couldn’t help but give Gu Heng, with one hand resting on the window and the other casually steering the wheel, an extra two seconds of their gaze...

Catching the occasional envious looks from the people by the road, Gu Heng’s lips curled into a slight smile.

Even though he was sitting down, his back was as straight as the emblem of a Bentley Flying Spur...

Even though he only stayed in Wuzhen for two and a half days, Gu Heng felt that this short time was more exhilarating than any other day in his past twenty-something years...

Staying in a villa that cost nearly ten thousand a night, being greeted with respect everywhere he went, and getting a taste of the high life in luxury stores...

Not to mention the two romantic encounters...

One with Lin Ran.

One with Fang Xun.

And both times left him feeling great.

With Lin Ran, although it was a bit like being used as a tool, upon closer thought, being a tool for a top executive of a leading capital firm isn’t all bad, right? Being a beneficiary in that situation isn’t too shabby.

After all, the old him couldn’t even dream of sleeping with such a high-level woman, let alone getting to know her was a luxury...

This move, ah, this move is what they call jumping over the dragon gate!

As for Fang Xun, the experience was even better.

It was a complete sense of conquest.

Using money to willingly get a beauty to please you in all sorts of ways, isn’t that the ultimate feeling of conquest?

Others may not know, but Gu Heng had always fantasized that once he had money, he had to try this approach.

Who says you can’t buy love with money?

Those who say love can’t be bought just don’t have enough money. In short, they need more money!

In the span of two and a half days, Gu Heng spent over a million, but this amount was like tuition fees, enabling him to experience a change in mindset... It let him see the benefits of money and how joyful it is to be wealthy...

All that past self-encouragement about "a future full of potential" was false.

But now...

These four words had become deeply embedded in his life.

His main narrative was a future full of potential, indulging in the privileges to the fullest...
