   If she had another chance, she would never have added him as a game friend that afternoon, nor would she have started an online romance. She certainly shouldn't have been so greedy, wasting his tens of millions! During their relationship, Shen Wang constantly spent money on her. From a few thousand, tens of thousands, to hundreds of thousands, even millions… his spending desires were gradually amplified… After meeting in person, Wen Nianxi realized he was the legendary madman. She wanted to break up on the spot, but was dragged back and brutally… without any mercy. "I… I'll give you back the money, let's break up…" Wen Nianxi managed to choke out a sentence. Shen Wang gripped her earlobe, suddenly pressing hard, and Wen Nianxi's head hit a soft head. "Fine, give me back the money now, and we'll break up." "I… I don't have any money right now…" "If you don't have money, repay me with your body." Shen Wang loved to play around but never played around with women.

    "Let's break up," Xu Yueshan said softly, watching the neon-lit street scene recede into the distance. "What did you say?"

He liked her very much and took good care of her, meticulously arranging her meals. Of course, Xu Yueshan was beautiful, and many people liked her. She didn't give a chance to just anyone. She got together with Li Qi because her roommate, the wealthy and beautiful Wei Xingyi, once mentioned that Li Qi's family background must be quite good. Xu Yueshan was surprised at the time, since Li Qi's everyday clothes and belongings didn't seem to carry any luxury items. In today's terms, they were all typical "straight man" items. Wei Xingyi glanced at Xu Yueshan and said nonchalantly, "I'm pretty good at judging a guy's family background." Xu Yueshan had forgotten what her expression was at the time; Wei Xingyi, from a wealthy family, could naturally sense people like her. So she accepted Li Qi's advances.
