Urban Life: I Just Want To Work Hard!

Chapter 268: Partners

"I may not be good at judging appearances, but I can see people who are connected to me in some way." Sun Shuyang's words were always straightforward and concise. He gently touched his disheveled hair that was blown by the night breeze and calmly said, "To put it more bluntly, for people like us, marriage is mostly a burden and a nuisance. Perhaps it's because we have never met the right person, but considering our circumstances, the possibility is very slim."

"With Miss Yang's conditions, shouldn't you worry about not being pursued by anyone at '210'?" Li Mubai, who had rarely met someone he could chat with since his rebirth, casually gossiped.

"I believe there's nothing to worry about, but most of them are businessmen who want to make money and have both wealth and beauty, like that old rascal He Dong who often harasses me and annoys me to death." Sun Shuyang shook his head and pouted.

"Cough... Li Mubai choked on the smoke and said with a smile, "Really, as far as I know, He Dong is old enough to be your father."

He used to be my father's subordinate in the army, that's why I partnered with him. But these nouveau riche, regardless of their age, can't help but covet young and beautiful women, whether they are nearby or not."

Sun Shuyang raised her chin, took a sip of champagne, and smacked her lips. "So, not only is the market treacherous, but the marriage market is even more so. Taking one wrong step could lead to irreparable consequences. So, according to investment principles, unless I truly encounter someone who brings great benefits to my life and emotions, I would rather remain single for the rest of my life than give in to these shallow men."

"Am I included in that category?"

"At least before we met, I thought so, just based on your reputation."

Sun Shuyang smiled at him with a tilted head, her cheeks slightly flushed from alcohol. "But through recent interactions, I find you much more interesting than I imagined. Perhaps after experiencing significant changes in your family, you have become more sensible, ambitious, and at least more worthy of my admiration than those vulgar businessmen like He Dong. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here tonight as a friend."

"But don't get ahead of yourself. I have no interest in you whatsoever. I'm just bored in Huahai and it's hard to meet similar people. Maybe I can make a friend. When I feel bored, I can go out and chat, just like tonight."

"It's my honor to be treated differently by Miss Yang." Li Mubai smiled, realizing that without the halo of a protagonist and the support of a scumbag, he really didn't possess the charm to make a beauty fall in love at first sight...

"Alright, it's not good for the groom to be away for so long. Go back quickly, I'll go back alone later." Sun Shuyang said while reaching out to pinch Li Mubai's arm and frowning, "It's loose and flabby, not manly at all. You're always drinking and partying, I'm afraid you'll be in trouble by the time you're in your thirties. Find time to accompany me to the gym for a workout, I need a partner anyway."

"Alright, I'll listen to you." Li Mubai, for once, was not being hypocritical. Perhaps after his rebirth, he had been lonely for too long and finally found a trustworthy person to confide in.

Sun Shuyang watched Li Mubai's departing figure and muttered to herself, "It's a pity, another poor soul has entered the grave of marriage."
