Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?-Chapter 599 - 414: Changes (Part 2)

As her fingertips touched the image of Li Jing on her phone screen, Zhang Xinxin's eyes gradually softened and became resolute, as if drawing strength from these precious moments.

She clutched the phone to her chest, allowing memories to surge in her heart, and slowly drifted into sleep amidst the intertwining of longing and hope.

...

After leaving the hospital, Li Jing and An Tong drove home.

On the road, soft music played from the car radio. Li Jing glanced at An Tong, who was focused on driving, and spoke:

"I'll handle the medical expenses from now on, including the hundreds of thousands you lent to Zhang Xinxin. I'll repay you on her behalf. You two don't earn much as it is; don't let this illness drain everything you have."

An Tong's fingers tightened slightly on the steering wheel and, with a surprised look, she quickly declined:

"No, it's fine.

I still have some savings left, and Xinxin's future expenses will probably be significant, probably in the millions. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

She still has several rounds of checks, so I had her take short video jobs and commercial shoots. Recently, she has indeed earned some money. Together with my help, we should be able to cope gradually."

Li Jing shook his head and said firmly:

"How long would it take for you two to earn a million? Besides, haven't you always wanted to buy a house in Tianhai?

If you lend all your money to Zhang Xinxin, who knows how long your plan to buy a house will be delayed."

Seeing An Tong remain silent, he continued, "The amount of money you're talking about is nothing to me. Trust me, when you calculate the total, let me know, and I'll transfer it to you. Inform me of any future expenses, and I'll transfer that too."

An Tong's lips moved as if to speak, but she stopped. She could only nod with a complicated expression.

Seeing her silent for a while, Li Jing couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

An Tong suddenly chuckled softly and said wistfully, "It's nothing, just that you're really good. You're too good to Xinxin and me. Meeting you is the luckiest thing that's ever happened to us."

Hearing this, Li Jing found it amusing and ruffled her hair: "I can't promise you any future, nor can I give you a home or guarantee, and I've delayed your youth.

Though I'm not a bad person, I certainly can't be considered your greatest fortune in life, right?"

As they stopped at a red light, An Tong braked and turned to stare intently at Li Jing, her eyes earnest:

"No, it's the luckiest thing.

If it weren't for you, Xinxin and I might still be struggling to save money in a small rental. You've never made promises, yet you've fulfilled them all."

Li Jing felt a bit uneasy under her sudden earnest gaze and teased on purpose: "I'm just a playboy, no need to make me sound so great, I'm really not that good."

However, An Tong shook her head with extraordinary seriousness, her voice slightly stubborn: "What you've done for us surpasses 99% of men in this world.

You're so good that Xinxin and I never dared to think of having you to ourselves, nor do we mind you seeing other women. The good you've done for us, we keep it in our hearts."

Hearing this, Li Jing was momentarily at a loss for words.

He then glanced at the traffic light and changed the subject: "Alright, alright, it's green light now."

After a pause, he explained, "I just crave your youth and beauty, don't make me out to be a saint."

As An Tong restarted the car, she mumbled, biting her lip, "Even if you're just after looks, you're a thousand times better than those men who just make empty promises..."

After speaking, An Tong turned to glance at Li Jing, a stubborn fire burning in her eyes:

"No matter what, I've set my mind on you alone for this lifetime. Even if you go to The Ends of the Earth, even if there's no place for me in your heart anymore, to me, you will always be the one I've chosen."

She spoke each word distinctly, as if to carve the vow into both their hearts.

Li Jing was slightly stunned, looking at her soft and delicate profile, momentarily unsure of what to say.

In the end, he shook his head and chuckled softly, turning to gaze out at the scenery racing by the window: "You're such a silly woman."

As the words left his mouth, An Tong mumbled, "I'm not silly. Meeting you, I'm the luckiest woman in the world."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable conviction.

Looking at her firm expression, Li Jing's smile held a touch of sentimentality and complexity.

Returning this time, he realized that both An Tong and Zhang Xinxin's gazes towards him had changed.

Zhang Xinxin looked at him with eyes full of a desire to prove she wasn't a burden;

An Tong's gaze had become particularly resolute because of his unconditional help for Zhang Xinxin upon his return.

He knew in his heart that his stance on Zhang Xinxin's matter this time had made them completely trust him.

Yet only Li Jing himself knew that his willingness to help Zhang Xinxin stemmed not only from their past relationship, but more importantly because he wasn't lacking money.

In fact, the more he spent, the more he earned.

If he didn't have money, or wasn't this wealthy, whether he would truly be willing to spend millions to help Zhang Xinxin with her illness, even he didn't know.

But in this world, there aren't so many "ifs."

"Don't go back to the rental tonight, stay at my place instead."

Li Jing suddenly spoke, his voice slightly lower than usual.

An Tong's hand shook on the steering wheel, her ears flushed pink yet containing a hint of small pride: "Actually, I hadn't planned on leaving today at all, I brought clothes ahead of time."

Seeing Li Jing raise an eyebrow, she explained with flushed cheeks, "It's a few sets of uniforms you like..."

Her words made Li Jing raise his eyebrows again and then burst into laughter: "Since when did you become so seductive?"

An Tong raised her face and said seriously: "It's hard enough to see you; if I don't take the initiative, with so many beautiful women around you, I'm afraid you'll forget about me."

Hearing this, Li Jing chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget you."

Having said that, he subconsciously glanced at An Tong's figure beside him, warming up internally, and said, "Drive faster, let's see what clothes you've prepared."

An Tong bit her lip and smiled gently, stomping on the accelerator, causing the car to emit a whooshing sound in the air.

Wind rushed in through the half-open window, carrying the accelerating heartbeats of the two towards home.

...

After spending a whole night entwined with An Tong, the next morning's soft sunlight gently spilled into the room through the sheer curtains.

An Tong seemed to be immersed in a sweet dream, still deep in sleep, her cheeks tinted with a faint blush, her lashes occasionally fluttering.

Li Jing woke up early, gazing at the docile and lovely girl beside him with a surge of affection in his heart.

He rarely cooked, but after working in the kitchen for a moment, he put the finished breakfast into the steamer to keep warm, then quietly put on his clothes and slipped away.

At that time, he had already arranged with Wei Jia to immediately return to the company upon reaching Tianhai to check on the situation.

After all, having been a hands-off boss for over a month, many important matters had piled up, demanding urgent attention.

He initially intended to hand over the company directly to Wei Jia, but she stubbornly refused, insisting on being closely tied to the company through him.

Helplessly, this time back, it was unavoidable to deal with business, those matters he personally needed to make decisions on could no longer be delayed.

Driving back to the Cultural Park, he couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression as he entered the park.

The entire Cultural Park was still permeated with the festive atmosphere from not long after the New Year, with bright red lanterns, exquisite Chinese knots, and various decorations hanging everywhere, creating a lively and bustling scene.

Coinciding with the Spring Festival and students' winter vacation, the park was crowded with people.

Tourist shops lined up one after another, with many new distinctive restaurants added, presenting a scene of prosperity.

Li Jing drove slowly along the main road of the Cultural Park, his eyes scanning the bustling scene around him, feeling an involuntary admiration for Wei Jia.

In just over a month of absence, the changes here were earth-shattering, far more prosperous than before.

This was enough to show that Wei Jia had put in unimaginable effort for the company's development during this period.

Li Jing had heard from An Tong that Wei Jia had stayed on duty even during the New Year, perhaps because of a strained relationship with her parents, but more importantly, the company's affairs were incredibly busy.

Thinking of these, Li Jing couldn't help feeling more guilt and regret towards Wei Jia.
