Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Huang Yue heard the amount, she thought of the 220,000 yuan in her account that she had saved up over the years. She hesitated about lending it to Wang Jing, feeling torn between wanting to help her friend and wanting to hold onto her hard-earned savings. It was a chance for Huang Yue to show her support for Wang Jing, but she also felt uncertain about the risks involved.

After all, it was her hard-earned money. Huang Yue still felt hesitant about lending it out. What if Wang Jing didn’t return it? Even though she knew the chance was small, the thought still made Huang Yue uneasy.

Wang Jing noticed Huang Yue’s hesitation and felt a sense of satisfaction. He had gambled correctly. Even though Huang Yue wasn’t as wealthy as some of the women Wang Jing had dated in the past, she was still young and vibrant.

Wang Jing also noticed Huang Yue’s clothing and deduced that her family background was likely decent. She occasionally wore authentic items, indicating that she wasn’t lacking in financial resources.

Wang Jing opened the half-opened takeaway box and carefully arranged the contents. He took a handkerchief from her suit jacket pocket and placed it on Huang Yue’s lap. Then he handed her a knife and fork and spoke softly, “I’m sorry to burden you with my troubles. It was wrong of me to bring it up and upset you.”

Huang Yue reassured Wang Jing, “It’s not a problem at all. The biological company is owed a refund from a foreign partner who is currently on vacation. They can’t access the funds right away, so they need to pay a sum of money urgently. I’m only borrowing the money for a week, and I’ll ask two more people to help out. Don’t worry. Let’s eat before it gets cold.”

Huang Yue couldn’t help but feel tempted by Wang Jing’s wealth and gentle, considerate nature.

…..

The rich second-generation heirs she had encountered were arrogant and dismissive of her.

Despite feeling hesitant, Huang Yue made up her mind to help Wang Jing, especially since it was only a one-week loan. However, she still held back a bit when she said, “Wang Jing, I have saved up some red packets over the years and have 100,000 yuan. I can transfer it to you later. Use it for emergencies if you need it.”

Wang Jing felt a twinge of disappointment when she heard that Huang Yue had only saved up 100,000 yuan. However, he didn’t want to appear too pushy or disrespectful, so he declined politely. “No, Huang Yue, I couldn’t possibly take your money. I appreciate the offer, but I’ll find another way to solve my problem.”

Huang Yue felt affirmed by Wang Jing’s refusal and decided to play coy. She looked down and spoke softly, “Even if I didn’t say it directly, you can tell that I want to help you. But, are you sure you want to make our relationship so clear-cut?”

Only then did Wang Jing agree, with a helpless expression. “Then it’s settled. Just this once. I don’t want to argue with you over this little bit of money. It’s as if I’m treating you as an outsider.”

After expressing her gratitude, Wang Jing held Huang Yue’s hand and looked at her with affection. “Huang Yue, thank you so much for helping me. There aren’t many good-hearted people like you these days who arc willing to make sacrifices. I will always remember this and cherish you. I promise to never let you down.”

Huang Yue also looked back affectionately, praising herself for being too smart.

In any case, Wang Jing was only fishing with an ambiguous relationship. She didn’t explicitly say that she wanted to be his girlfriend. This way, when she traps Wei Xiao by her side, she wouldn’t leave any evidence behind.

Even if she couldn’t trap Wei Xiao by her side, she would have already trapped Wang Jin. She still had the safety net of being the young madam of a wealthy family.

During their time together, Huang Yue was impressed by Wang Jing’s gentle, considerate, and compliant personality. Despite not being as well-off as the Wei family, she could still consider marrying him due to the emotional connection they shared.

Wang Jing did not expect to win Huang Yue over so easily. Although he did not manage to get the full 200,000 yuan, his smile became much more sincere. “Sweetheart, let me send you my account number first,” he said.

Huang Yue smiled and said gently, “I’ll transfer it to you now.”

Two minutes later, Wang Jing looked at the bank transfer information and the smile on his face deepened. “Baby, let’s eat quickly.”

Huang Yue nodded happily.

After taking a bite, Huang Yue found that although the meat was not bad and the taste was decent, it didn’t taste quite like she remembered.

Doubtfully, she asked, “Why does this taste different from the last time I had it?”

Wang Jing calmly offered the explanation he had thought of at the last minute. “Maybe it’s because of the takeaway. I was delayed for a while just now. I’m sorry you had to experience this. Next time, I’ll take you to Xingyue Restaurant to make it up to you.”
