Urban Life: I Just Want To Work Hard!

Chapter 109: Besides Your Name, What Else Do I Know?

Whether it's the first confession in 24 years of life, or... their relationship will definitely make Li Mubai happy.

Li Mubai actually believes what Zhang Chuyun said.

Because in the original plot, it was mentioned that although Zhang Chuyun didn't want to enter the center of this storm vortex, she was very sensible and mature. She knew her own destiny from a young age.

What path to take in the future, whom to marry, these are not decisions she can easily make on her own.

It's because she is the only heir of the Zhang family in this generation.

So Zhang Chuyun basically doesn't interact with any boys at school, everything is focused on the arrangements at home.

Even in college, she just graduated and without expressing any opinions, she followed the arrangement and entered the municipal/provincial department.

And making Li Mubai happy... can be considered Zhang Chuyun's final compromise with her family.

Living according to the family's requirements for 24 years, choosing her own life partner, isn't it too much to ask?

Moreover, she has two older brothers above her, both of whom are already married, and they have paved the way for her. Following the family's script, going all the way down, isn't this one request "worth satisfying a bit"?

But... Li Mubai can't promise, and he can't promise.

If in "Charming Picture Book," Zhang Chuyun is the person Li Mubai least wants to get involved with, she definitely ranks first.

It involves too many people, and now Li Mubai is facing the Zhang family, which can definitely be described as a leap forward.

But once he crosses over, there will be limitations.

Unless Li Mubai really makes an effort, establishes a foothold in the business world, or shines in another industry.

As for... the entertainment industry, in ancient times... actors were considered lowly.

Although there is no distinction between upper and lower classes now, Li Mubai's achievements in this line of work must be even greater.

The most troublesome thing is...

The Zhang family absolutely does not allow the heir of the Zhang family to marry someone who is too involved with other women.

Accepting a singer is barely acceptable, but acting is absolutely impossible!

This point is absolutely beyond doubt.

So even if Li Mubai and Zhang Chuyun really get together, even if they move out to live together in the future, the Zhang family will still persuade Li Mubai to give up working outside.

After all, the title of Zhang Chuyun's husband is not something that can be obtained easily.

Lowering his head, Li Mubai shook it slightly: "That is something you gave me... but... what can I give you? I mean, everything should be mutual, why do you want to give me happiness? We should be meeting for the first time, and we haven't even exchanged more than five sentences. Is it love at first sight, Miss Zhang? I think it's better not to joke about it anymore in the future."

Li Mubai carefully considered his words and politely declined.

After all, he still has to come to Zhou Ziqing's place in the future, so he can't let the relationship become too tense.

Furthermore, with the initial 75 points of luck, it is already very dangerous. Li Mubai doesn't even have the intention of being friends with Zhang Chuyun.

Too dangerous.

It's not that Zhang Chuyun is too dangerous, but Zhang Chuyun's background is not something Li Mubai can mess with.

Zhang Chuyun is not angry, but instead seriously considers what Li Mubai said.

"We have met before. I have seen you on the internet before. The reason I came to Xiao Qing's house this afternoon is because I heard your name. I was cunning and thought you would be bullied by Xiao Qing, so I timed it well...

But in fact, I have downloaded your live recordings from the past few years, even the songs you sang at the Nine Provinces Art Academy's evening party... Maybe, besides my name, you don't know anything else about me, but I have already seriously researched you."

Very sincere and touching.

Li Mubai politely smiled, "Then you should know... that was written for my first love."

Zhang Chuyun took two steps forward, bringing them closer. She looked into Li Mubai's eyes, "In the past, many boys actively pursued me and claimed to be my first love, but... some have lost contact, some have already married, so I don't believe that first love belongs to just one person."

"I'm sorry..." Li Mubai also sincerely admitted, "I'm not as good as you imagine. I am greedy and worldly, and most importantly... the distance between us is too far."

So I said from the beginning, I will make you happy!" Zhang Chuyun still had that smiling expression, "I am very clear about what I am saying. It's not just empty words, I genuinely want to make you happy. Whatever you want to do, whatever you want, as long as it's what you desire, I will do my best to fulfill it, and I can fulfill most of it... So the distance you mentioned, it no longer exists from the moment I said these words."

Clear eyes without any impurities.

However, Li Mubai could only remain silent, not daring to meet her gaze.

"I still can't promise you..." Li Mubai looked into Zhang Chuyun's eyes, apologizing.

"It's okay." Zhang Chuyun smiled, "To be honest, I am a little disappointed and a little sad, but I am also more certain that I didn't misjudge you. At least... if it were another man today, they wouldn't refuse so decisively like you did... Can I ask you one last question?"

Zhang Chuyun had an expression that was impossible to refuse...

Although she said she was a little disappointed and a little sad, the disappointment in her eyes quickly filled up.

She was using everything other than words to tell Li Mubai: she really cares about him!

Li Mubai opened his mouth, but still couldn't bring himself to say that rejection.

"Well, go ahead..."

"If I were to say that I want to pursue you from now on, would you feel a lot of pressure and be greatly troubled?"

The plea in her eyes was about to burst out. Zhang Chuyun could be said to be using the most humble expression and tone, hoping that Li Mubai would show even a hint of sympathy in his response.

Any normal man would know how to instantly answer this.

But Li Mubai remained silent for a long time.

He knew that if he remained silent for one more second, Zhang Chuyun would suffer in agony for one more second.

But...

Ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds, Li Mubai still didn't say a word.

Almost as if the light in Zhang Chuyun's eyes was completely dimming.

Finally...

"There might be some, but I should be able to accept it. Also... you're really good, but I advise you not to... on me anymore..." Li Mubai took a deep breath and said softly.

"Understood, that's enough."

Although the answer was reluctant, at least Zhang Chuyun was satisfied in her heart. She straightened up, smiled at Li Mubai, and then, as if exiting the stage, she placed her hands behind her back, slightly bowed, and made way for him to leave.

No exchange of phone numbers, no adding on messaging apps, not even a single extra word. Zhang Chuyun clearly intended to let Li Mubai walk away.

Li Mubai sighed silently in his heart, forcing himself not to look at Zhang Chuyun's expression. He walked slowly past Zhang Chuyun's side and headed outside.

He walked all the way to the street corner, where a Mercedes was parked in front of Li Mubai. He didn't turn back once.

Reluctance was present, but fear was even stronger...

He was afraid that if he stopped and turned back for a glance, he wouldn't be able to take another step forward.

Until Yun Feng opened the car door for Li Mubai, he sat inside the car.

Only then did Li Mubai look through the car window.

Zhang Chuyun was still standing there.

She happened to be standing behind a street lamp, only revealing a perfect figure's silhouette. Li Mubai couldn't see her expression at all.

He didn't know what it would be like...

Disappointment? Sorrow? Unwillingness?

Li Mubai couldn't guess, and he was a little afraid to guess.

Waves of emotions surged in his heart, and Li Mubai was momentarily stunned by the darkness in that direction.

"Mr. Li, where should we go?"

Li Mubai didn't turn his head, hesitated for a while, and just said softly, "Take me for a ride, anywhere is fine."

Yun Feng stared at Li Mubai's expression through the car window for a few seconds, then silently started the car.

Li Mubai didn't have the mood to use his god-level acting skills to deceive Yun Feng now.

Not only did he not have the mood, but during those thirty seconds of silence just now, he felt a hint of confusion for the first time, and even... had the impulse to just agree to Zhang Chuyun.

Forget about all the blessings of fate, forget about Ye Feng, he didn't care about any of that anymore... with Zhang Chuyun protecting him, he would definitely be safe.

But he knew, there was no turning back now.

Yun Wuyue, Lin Jiayin, Yun Lianxing, Lin Jiajia, Yun Nan, Gu Kexin, Song Xingyu...

Li Mubai really agreed to this, what would they do?

Go crazy?

Or even attempt suicide?

Don't joke around, when Li Mubai treated their feelings, treated them as tools, wasn't he already one of the tools himself?

The tall buildings outside the car rapidly receded, and Li Mubai opened the car window.

The temperature in the capital had dropped again today, and central heating would be turned on next month.

Just endure a little longer, and the season of the white 180 photo album (winter) would arrive...

Taking a deep breath, feeling the cold wind on his face, Li Mubai's eyes gradually regained their determination. There was no turning back, he could only continue moving forward.

And it was a one-way road, a road to the end!

Rubbing his cheek, Li Mubai slowly closed the car window and turned his head.

"Let's go back to Jinshui Shallow Bay."

Li Mubai revealed his long-lost scumbag smile.

"Okay, Mr. Li."

Closing his eyes, Li Mubai began to adjust his mindset.

If he went to play games with Lin Jiajia like this, or spent the night with Lin Jiayin, something would definitely go wrong.

At least, he had to temporarily suppress all these things tonight and not let anything show on the surface.

His phone vibrated again.

Li Mubai read the messages from Ye Chun, Lin Jiajia, Yun Lianxing, and Lin Jiayin in order.

Lin Jiajia said she was waiting for him to log in, with a cute expression attached.

Yun Lianxing asked him about tomorrow's plans.

Lin Jiayin said she would go to Li Mubai's place a bit later, probably because she knew that Li Mubai was going to play two games with Lin Jiajia.

He replied to Lin Jiajia, Yun Lianxing, and Lin Jiayin, then opened the blacklist and removed the CEO sister's phone number...

Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of Jinshui Shallow Bay.

Li Mubai sincerely thanked Yun Feng, then watched as Yun Feng drove away.

He put on a smile again, took out two sets of keys from his pocket, and walked towards Building A...
