As a woman, it's best not to ask your man, "Am I your one true love for life?"
Because with such a question, you will never get a truthful answer. It's not that all men are unfaithful or love unattainable women; rather, many men's deepest affections may not even be for a person!
For instance, many men might actually love guns. Especially after seeing scenes of gunfire in numerous action movies and feeling the atmosphere of heroic gun battles, they often wish for the chance to handle firearms!
Of course, according to the circumstances of the Huaxia Nation, only a small number of people can own guns, so many men settle for their second favorite thing: cars!
This rule doesn't apply to all men, but for those who love cars, their ideal vehicle is probably the Hummer. Unlike the luxury and beauty of sports cars, the Hummer is designed specifically for men, with its entire body emphasizing masculinity and ruggedness.
Wei Yuan was once infatuated with this famous car. However, given his situation at the time, even if he got into a decent university and earned four to five thousand in salary a month after graduation, he would have to live on the streets without food or drink for most of his life just to afford a Hummer!
Of course, this didn't stop him from liking the Hummer. It was a six-wheeled model with four exhaust pipes resembling missile launchers. The massive body was incredibly sturdy and seemed to have a central inflation system that allowed it to inflate and deflate while driving through controls on the dashboard!
Watching Wei Yuan gaze intently at the car, the woman inside remained expressionless, carefully observing his every move.
When Wei Yuan finally snapped back to reality and their eyes met, he said, "Sorry, I lost my composure."
Wei Yuan looked from the car back to her; indeed, this Hummer was extraordinary, and so was this fierce woman!
However, this somewhat crude description might not be entirely appropriate because the first impression she gave him was quite strange. Judging by her appearance, she seemed to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Her face bore no trace of makeup yet showed no signs of aging!
Logically speaking, a woman over twenty-five should at least wear some light makeup to cover up any imperfections when going out. Yet this woman had striking features: well-defined eyebrows and nose, with slightly upturned lips...
She appeared completely natural and harmonious, exuding an irresistible charm.
However, Wei Yuan felt that her biggest problem was that her facial features rarely showed any expression, as if nothing and no one could stir her emotions anymore. Although she was a beautiful woman, she gave off a sense of pressure that made people keep their distance.
After getting into the car, the woman started the Hummer and drove straight ahead. Jinghai City, being a coastal city, allowed the Hummer to speed along at an incredible pace. The sea breeze rushed in, instantly blowing away Wei Yuan's fatigue.
Turning his head to look, Wei Yuan noticed that although the woman's hair was tousled by the wind, she suddenly showed an excited expression on her face. It seemed that this extreme speed brought her some thrill. What kind of woman was she?
When the Hummer reached the seaside, it finally came to a stop. Seeing that there was no one around, Wei Yuan's curiosity deepened. What exactly did this woman bring him here for?
Had she watched too many movies? Did she think that discussing things in such an environment would create the right atmosphere?
At this moment, with the gentle sea breeze blowing, Wei Yuan couldn't help but sigh while sitting in the Hummer. Even if someone intended to do something bad, the continuous sound of waves and the surrounding silence made him feel indifferent. However, this woman had already invested a considerable amount in just this Hummer.
Although it was Wei Yuan's first opportunity to ride in this vehicle, he had read enough car magazines to have a basic understanding. He knew that this car had been modified; it combined the ruggedness of a Hummer with the luxurious comfort of an RV. This setup would easily cost at least one or two million.
At this point, just this car alone could tempt many people into ill intentions. Coupled with this secluded location, it was undoubtedly an excellent spot for kidnapping, extortion, or even murder. Did this woman have confidence in her own abilities, or was she genuinely trusting Wei Yuan?
Suddenly, she took out a phone and dialed a number, then pressed the speakerphone button so that Wei Yuan could hear. As expected, he heard a pre-recorded electronic voice: "Hello, this is Huaxia Bank. Please enter your account number or ID number."
Wei Yuan then watched as she accurately entered a nineteen-digit number. His nerves were immediately triggered; he knew this was a bank account number. Although the woman typed quickly, he could still tell that she was entering his own bank account number!
"Enter your password yourself!"
Although Wei Yuan didn't know what she was up to, he figured he had only a few thousand left in his account and had nothing much to worry about. However, after entering his six-digit password, he heard her say: "Press one to check your balance."
Wei Yuan pressed one and then heard the electronic female voice on the phone say: "Good afternoon, Mr. Wei! Your account balance is five hundred thousand three hundred!"
Over five hundred thousand! Among them, three thousand seven hundred belongs to me, so where did this extra five hundred thousand come from?
Wei Yuan glanced at the woman, his heart already in turmoil. Did you really just transfer money into my account?
As for how she knew his bank account number, Wei Yuan could easily guess. After all, it wasn't a Swiss bank account. The banks in Huaxia Nation claim to protect customer privacy wholeheartedly, but that's just a polite statement. For casual customers like Wei Yuan, who deposits one thousand today and withdraws five hundred tomorrow, the bank couldn't care less!
"What does this mean?" Wei Yuan asked her.
"Consider it a token of appreciation for taking care of Han Ling!"
This left Wei Yuan feeling somewhat bewildered. It seemed he hadn't really taken care of Han Ling that much. However, he truly didn't expect that this girl came from such a wealthy family. But wouldn't it make more sense for this money to go to Yang Ying rather than himself? Could it be a reward for saving her that time when she was about to jump off a building?
Wei Yuan couldn't help but fall into a spiral of wild thoughts, but soon he resolutely said, "I can't accept this money."
It wasn't that he was foolish enough to turn down money that came knocking at his door; he was well aware that his father had fallen into a trap due to greed, ending up with a pile of debts and losing his life in the process. Now, after just taking care of Han Ling for a bit, he suddenly had fifty thousand—was this even credible?
To calm himself, Wei Yuan kept repeating in his mind: Don't believe in free lunches; there's no such thing as a free meal in this world. Greed ultimately leads to poverty; desire is the devil!
