Chapter 297: Self-Contradiction

In fact, Hao Anqi had been in a state of contradiction all along.

She hoped her young boyfriend would be outstanding, so that the two of them would not need to worry about life and could live a happy and carefree little life.

But she also did not want her young boyfriend to be too prominent.

Once the gap between the two became too large.

As optimistic as Hao Anqi was, she could not help but feel a deep sense of inferiority in her heart.

Right now, her young boyfriend had casually thrown out twenty million, such a grand gesture, and the unimaginable figure weighed on her heart like a mountain, making Hao Anqi feel somewhat breathless.

Was she really worthy of someone so excellent?

Hao Anqi had never fantasized about a life of luxury; she just wanted a warm little nest to live in, a car for transportation, and the ability to travel toward poetry and distant places.

That would be enough to be content.

On the night of the start of school, Hao Anqi was standing under a big tree opposite Manyuefu playing with her phone when, looking up inadvertently, she saw a group of people walking over, talking and laughing.

Some people, once met, are remembered for a lifetime; some heartbeats, once started, are like spilled water that cannot be gathered back.

Just one glance.

That tall, handsome, and extraordinary figure with a spring-breeze-like smile on his lips was deeply carved into Hao Anqi's mind, unable to be shaken off.

Hao Anqi immediately made up her mind to get to know this boy.

After getting in touch, Hao Anqi became increasingly fascinated by Shen Yan.

At that time, Shen Yan was a little humorous and understood romance; he completely matched Hao Anqi's aesthetic and was simply the other half of Hao Anqi's ideals.

And now... her young boyfriend was growing more and more excellent and charming.

But the chasm spanning between the two was growing wider and wider, making it difficult to reach.

Hao Anqi did not mind the man being strong and the woman being weak; she even enjoyed it.

However, if the gap between the two sides was too vast, it would make her feel inferior and uneasy.

It just so happened that her young boyfriend was always surrounded by beautiful women, especially that fair-skinned and beautiful rich young lady Chen Shanni, who, from any perspective, was clearly a better match for her young boyfriend.

This situation invisibly magnified the worries in Hao Anqi's heart.

The more she cared, the more she worried about gains and losses.

Hao Anqi was not a pretentious person, but because of Shen Yan, she fell into a situation of troubling herself for no reason.

Even though Shen Yan had never expressed any intention of wanting to break up.

"Shuai Yan, do you really think we are a good match?"

The voice echoing in his ears made Shen Yan slightly stunned, and he immediately guessed Hao Anqi's true thoughts.

Sigh! She really hadn't experienced the harsh beatings of society.

She was a bit too naive.

This society itself is unfair; the law of the jungle and survival of the fittest are the eternal natural laws.

Against such a social background, the values of ordinary people are inevitably tainted, and for the vast majority of women, partners with stronger economic strength often better meet their criteria for choosing a spouse.

According to incomplete statistics, 99% of women will look beyond their own social class to find partners with better conditions to marry and start a family, and that remaining 1%...

In his previous life, Shen Yan went through several blind dates and was "fortunate" enough to witness all kinds of bizarre existences in person.

For example, "A monthly salary of three thousand, looking down on those with a monthly salary of ten thousand."

"A 'moonlight' spender wanting to find someone with a house and a car and savings of over 500,000."

"A bachelor's degree graduate wanting to find someone with a postgraduate degree."

"1.5 meters tall, petite and exquisite, wanting to find someone over 1.8 meters."

"Three points in looks, five points with makeup, seven points with filters, wanting to find a big handsome guy."

Like Hao Anqi, a college student who hasn't entered society, feeling inferior because her boyfriend is too rich is a rare existence among women.

Rarer than a giant panda.

Shen Yan asked over the phone: "What, you're not happy that your boyfriend is rich?"

Hao Anqi sniffled and said gloomily: "No... it's just... I feel the gap between us is too big, and I don't feel secure in my heart."

Her voice grew smaller and smaller; clearly, she also knew her thoughts were absurd.

Hearing this, Shen Yan couldn't help but frown: "Then what do you want me to do, just be an ordinary college student? Or... do you want me to be fickle and unfaithful?"

???

What kind of irrelevant idioms were these; he had no seriousness at all.

Hao Anqi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"And you call yourself a top student at Hangda, you can't even use an idiom correctly."

"But I feel like you have a tendency in that direction."

"I don't, I only have you in my heart." Worried about being misunderstood, Hao Anqi hurriedly explained.

Shen Yan expressed disbelief: "Your thinking is problematic right now; wait until I come back to measure it to confirm if it's true or false."

"Measure your big head, you big pervert."

After such a bit of banter, Hao Anqi temporarily forgot the worries in her heart.

She started chatting enthusiastically with Shen Yan.

It wasn't until Hao's mother called Hao Anqi to eat that the phone was finally hung up.

And Wu Yue'er, who had been busy in the kitchen, had already stopped what she was doing as soon as Shen Yan talked about investing in a movie.

Her ears were pricked up high.

Like an alert rabbit, she was capturing every sound around her.

Until she finally heard the farewell, Wu Yue'er couldn't wait to walk over.

The room was overflowing with warmth, and Wu Yue'er was dressed quite lightly, in a gray camisole bodycon dress, with a large expanse of fair skin exposed to the air.

She sat sideways on Shen Yan's lap, wrapped her arms around the back of his neck, and breathed like an orchid, "Hubby, this little enchantress is feeling a sense of crisis, worried that you're too outstanding and will abandon her."

Shen Yan exhaled a breath of stale air, placed his large hand unceremoniously on those long, jade-like legs, and asked, "What about you? You wouldn't happen to have the same thought, would you?"

Wu Yue'er frankly admitted that she indeed had before, but she would not now.

Because she knew deeply that Shen Yan was a person who valued emotions.

Shen Yan grinned; in the end, Huniu still understood him the best.

Afterwards, Wu Yue'er asked Shen Yan again about the movie investment, wasn't it said that it felt unreliable and was rejected? Shen Yan said that because Shanni and Youwei were present at the time, it was too troublesome to explain.

"I never fight a battle I'm not sure of; this movie is very likely to be a massive hit."

Hearing this, Wu Yue'er nodded in understanding.

It was true; at that time, she, Yu Youwei, and Chen Shanni all did not favor this project, believing the waters of the entertainment industry were too deep and the risks too great, and that such an opportunity could not possibly fall upon an outsider for no reason.

And with Shen Yan's wise mind, how could he possibly take the naive opinions of young girls to heart?

If he felt there was profit to be made, he would do it.
