Chapter 1: Having money and looks, it's fine even if older

Xiao Ming sat in a chair, tallying up his current assets.

"Accounts: three billion, antiques, jewelry, too many to count..."

"Tencent stake 3%, Alibaba 5%, Haier Computer 31%..."

"Twenty large entertainment clubs, five large villas, over six hundred real estate units, three hundred of them in Huangcheng, all prime locations..."

It has been twenty-seven years since Xiao Ming's soul transmigrated into his body.

Looking back on the path he has walked, he can straighten his back and confidently tell everyone that Xiao Ming has achieved his goal of becoming a successful person.

At the beginning of his transmigration, he hoped to have a legendary system to help him reach the pinnacle of life.

He had seen such a thing written in novels.

But novels are after all fiction.

He had hoped for years, but eventually accepted that the system was merely a legend.

However, he did not therefore give up and degenerate.

Thereafter, relying on his quick wit and strong drive for advancement, he embarked on the entrepreneurial path.

From the initial street-food stalls and small restaurants, he gradually arrived at today, possessing vast wealth, a hidden magnate.

He perfectly fulfilled his life's ideal.

He picked up his photo on the table and took a look.

He nodded; not bad.

Very young.

After achieving his life ideal and acquiring vast wealth, he never thought of squandering his life in debauchery.

In his spare time from work, he would choose to play golf, go running...

Moreover, he invested in several medical health biotech companies, and when they researched good health-boosting treasures, he would also use them himself.

As a result, although he is a forty-two-year-old man, he looks like a young man in his early twenties.

Eight-pack abs, 1.8 meters tall, refined features, every gesture brings a kingly bearing.

Full of aura, truly a cold male god type.

"In the blink of an eye of an eye I'm forty-two; I originally said I'd achieve the goal in thirty years then retreat behind the scenes, but I finished it in only twenty-seven years!"

He entered the wine cellar and took a bottle of Petrus that had been stored for a long time.

He poured it, slowly letting it flow into his mouth, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and gazed at the outside scenery.

The garden is planted with famous flowers and strange herbs; the yard is very large, yet it feels overly cold and desolate.

Such a huge villa, there are hardly any people around.

After a few servants and the outside guards left, the house had only him.

Previously, he devoted himself entirely to work, rarely stayed at home, and never noticed that the home atmosphere was like this.

Staying in the house now, he feels rather uncomfortable.

He muttered to himself, "Am I rather lonely?"

No.

There are always many people around him.

He is never lacking beautiful women—current female stars, rich families' misss, crowds of women flocking to him.

But.

He thought for a while and came up with a clue.

Indeed, he is quite lonely.

His life still lacks a family, lacks affection.

"If an ordinary man reached my age, his kids would be in college; if he married and had children early, he might already be a grandfather."

Xiao Ming sighed!

Afterwards, he firmly said, "It seems I need to find a wife and have a child."

"Ah, if I had a child, how good that would be."

These years, he shouldn't have chosen to stay single all along.

That's right.

Before, many women around him fawned over him, but he found women troublesome.

Alone, he could go wherever he wanted and do whatever he pleased.

Free and easy.

But upon reaching a certain age,

Those around him had all married and had children, the household filled with joy.

After finishing work and returning home, the children in the house would all rush over and huddle together, extremely warm...

The more Xiao Ming thought, the more he regretted.

He simply downloaded a matchmaking app, registered, and submitted his personal information.

The next day.

The official of the matchmaking app called, saying they had arranged a meeting with his date.

The appointment was set for ten in the morning at a teahouse inside Haoran Guomao.

Xiao Ming agreed.

Anyway, he was idle, so he might as well give it a try to see how his charm is now.

He casually put on casual clothes; when it was time to leave, he ran his hand over the row of car keys hanging on the wall, cleaning them.

Rolls-Royce Phantom, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Ferrari, Lincoln...

He chose that black Lincoln.

Twenty minutes later, he arrived at the agreed-upon place.

Oh my god, a handsome guy!

Just as he sat down, the women at the matchmaking event swarmed toward Xiao Ming like a bee hive, inquiring about his various details, their gazes toward him bursting with heart symbols.

Oh my god, handsome guy, let's get together?

Even after learning that Xiao Ming was a forty-two-year-old man, he still captured the hearts of many young girls, who all swarmed over to introduce themselves to Xiao Ming.

Various displays of affection.

About Xiao Ming's financial situation.

In the software he filled out, he wrote that he was a resident of Anjin City, currently running two small companies, owning several apartment buildings, all located in the city's prime locations, with an annual income of over ten million.

As a result, as soon as he appeared, he received enthusiastic welcome from the girls.

Mainly, he is really too good-looking.

Moreover, he is also very wealthy.

Having wealth and looks, under these dual conditions, being a bit older doesn't matter; it hardly affects the girls' enthusiasm, all of them looking at Xiao Ming with eyes full of heart symbols.

"Tell me, what do you like about me?"

Xiao Ming asked the girl opposite him, gazing at her deeply and affectionately.

"I..."

The girl pondered for a moment, then stammered: "I, I can feel that you have a gentle temperament, and you are also very good-looking; actually, upon first seeing you, I fell in love at first sight."

Oh!

Xiao Ming smiled.

Thinking to himself: "Must be love at first sight for me, right?"

He continued asking the same question to other girls.

That girl thought for a while, then said with lingering affection: "You play golf well, you know many sports, you speak several languages, you're so talented, you're exactly the ideal future husband from my dreams."

Oh!

Exactly.

In my dreams, the image of a wealthy husband.

Afterward, Xiao Ming heard various passionate confessions.

All the praise was inseparable from an underlying subtext.

Wealth.

Faced with the deep affection of those gold-digging girls, Xiao Ming felt he really couldn't bear it, gave a few perfunctory replies, and left.

Later.

Xiao Ming then downloaded another matchmaking app, but having gained some experience, when filling out the information card he portrayed himself as a part-time worker.

An ordinary person in the secular world.

When matchmaking again, even though relying on his looks, it was obvious that a small portion of girls hesitated to approach.

Some girls were conquered by his handsome looks and boldly confessed, but Xiao Ming didn't take a liking to any of them.

This matchmaking event was still as boring as ever.

Although many young girls took a liking to him and confessed, he felt no stir of the heart.

Suddenly, a waft of fragrance came from opposite him.

Xiao Ming suddenly lifted his gaze, and his heart skipped a beat.
