The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 184 Liking is indulgence, love is restraint (4k)

Chao Yu Seafood Buffet Restaurant.

Gu Heng and Xu Mo sat on the edge of the bed, with a steam pressure cooker filled with various fresh seafood in front of them, and many fresh sashimi on both sides of the table.

"elder brother……"

"Did we take too much stuff?"

"I feel like those waiters are always watching us."

Xu Mo placed a bowl full of crab meat she had peeled in front of Gu Heng, then couldn't help but lower her voice and speak to him, her pale face filled with a hint of trepidation.

"How can it be."

"Chao Yu is the most upscale chain seafood buffet restaurant in Beichun. Not to mention the two of us, even those big eaters on the internet wouldn't flinch if they came."

Gu Heng smiled and said, "They keep staring at us, probably because our Momo is so beautiful and cute."

"But……"

Xu Mo muttered to herself, "They're all clearly staring at you."

"Hey!"

"Never mind them."

"We'll eat our own food."

Gu Heng smiled and shook his head. He looked at the bowl full of snow-white crab meat in front of him, picked up an empty bowl, poured most of the crab meat into it, and then handed the bowl containing most of the crab meat back to Xu Mo.

"If you like eating crabs, eat more."

"You don't need to peel it for me, we'll just ask the waiter to peel it for us later."

Looking at Xu Mo, who was so sensible and well-behaved, Gu Heng felt even more affection for her.

Given Xu Mo's family background, she probably never ate seafood much growing up. In her subconscious, crabs must be the most expensive seafood.

Despite the fact that seafood such as geoduck, crayfish, and grouper are much more expensive, Xu Mo has a particular fondness for crabs.

Gu Heng originally thought that she had spent so much time peeling crabs so that she could enjoy them all at once, but he never expected that the whole bowl of crab meat was peeled by Gu Heng.

Some things, when done by different people, bring different feelings.

If the girl sitting across from Gu Heng today were Bingbing, Xinxin, or their group, they might have done the same thing, but Gu Heng wouldn't have felt anything or been affected by it.

Because crabs are not a rare treat for them, and they can eat them every day if they want, their behavior conveys the emotion of trying to please others.

However, Xu Mo was different.

There's a line in the movie "The Continent" that goes like this:

Liking is indulgence, love is restraint.

Xu Mo is now restraining her desires and sharing what she considers the best things with Gu Heng, even though she knows that crabs are not a rare treat for Gu Heng.

How could Gu Heng not feel pity for a girl like that?

"what……"

Will the waiters still offer crab peeling service?

Xu Mo looked slightly confused, her clear eyes revealing a hint of bewilderment.

"Probably so."

Gu Heng smiled and then gently raised his hand.

In an instant, the four waiters who had been hovering around Gu Heng suddenly appeared from all directions, as if they were accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in a supercar.

"Hello, sir!"

The waitress asked respectfully, "How can I help you?"

Do you offer shrimp and crab peeling services here?

Gu Heng pointed to the steam pressure cooker in front of him and asked with a smile in his eyes.

"OK!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the waitress said, "Sir, I see that your girlfriend really likes crabs. We can open a steam pressure cooker for you at the table next to us later, so that we can serve you faster."

"Okay, I'll bother you then."

Gu Heng replied with a smile, "Take plenty of flying crabs, bread crabs, and king crab legs."

"Ok."

"Please wait a moment."

The waitress bowed slightly to Gu Heng and Xu Mo, then quickly opened the steamer lid, took out the steamed seafood, and started preparing it at the next table.

"Brother, will there be any extra charge for providing crab peeling service and extra hot pot?"

Xu Mo hesitated slightly: "If there's an extra charge, that's fine. We can peel them ourselves at our own pace."

No extra charge.

Gu Heng poured some crab vinegar into his bowl and said with a smile, "Just eat as much as you like."

"what……"

"The service at their restaurant is really good."

"No wonder they were able to grow so big and successful in Beichun. Thumbs up to them!"

Xu Mo felt relieved, and her fair face once again beamed with a bright smile.

Looking at Xu Mo's innocent and carefree appearance, Gu Heng couldn't help but smile even more broadly.

The entire Zhencui Group belongs to him. Let alone having waiters peel shrimp and crabs for him, even if he had waiters personally feed him, many people would be vying to do it.

Eat as much of what you like.

"But don't eat too much, or you'll feel unwell."

Gu Heng placed two slices of Arctic surf clam on Xu Mo's plate, his expression softening slightly.

"Uh-huh!"

……

After the meal, Gu Heng took Xu Mo for a stroll in a nearby shopping mall.

They went in empty-handed and left with their hands full.

Despite Xu Mo's clear statement that she already had clothes to wear and didn't need to buy any more winter clothes, Gu Heng still acted like a ruthless credit card machine, buying Xu Mo four sets of clothes from head to toe.

Since it's just a regular shopping mall, it mostly carries common brands such as Bosideng, ZARA, Peacebird, Descente, and FILA, which are within the normal spending range for ordinary people.

After shopping around, Gu Heng was a little tired of swiping his card. In the end, he found that he had only spent less than 40,000 yuan, which was not even enough for him to buy a trench coat at Burberry.

"elder brother……"

After getting into the car, Xu Mo was a little sullen: "You bought me so many things and spent so much money, how am I supposed to repay you?"

“It’s very simple~”

"You making me happy is the best reward you can give me~"

Gu Heng responded with a smile as he drove.

"Then what can make you happy?"

Xu Mo immediately asked.

"I am very happy right now."

Gu Heng glanced at Xu Mo, his expression quite serious.

"No no no!"

I need to make you happier!

Xu Mo shook her head; she seemed more serious than Gu Heng.

"Um……"

"Then when you get home, you can look it up online."

"There are 70 ways online that girlfriends can make their boyfriends happy."

"You could learn this!"

Gu Heng couldn't help but smile; the feeling was quite similar to that of a big bad wolf luring a little white rabbit.

"I'll check right now!" Upon hearing this, Xu Mo immediately reached for her phone to search.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

"Go home and investigate, go home and investigate again!"

Gu Heng couldn't help but blush. He quickly reached out and grabbed Xu Mo's fair and delicate hand: "Playing on your phone while driving can make you dizzy."

"Whoa whoa……"

"OK then!"

Xu Mo didn't notice Gu Heng's unusual behavior. She just nodded seriously and said, "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely remember those 70 methods when I get home, and then I will do my best to make you happier in the future!"

Looking at Xu Mo's innocent little face, Gu Heng noticed that the corners of her lips were even harder to suppress than Wa Xuedi's pouty lips.

The two chatted and laughed as Gu Heng drove towards Jilin University Ninth Hospital.

At first, Xu Mo did not realize it.

However, as Gu Heng drove closer and closer to Jilin University Ninth Hospital, Xu Mo finally realized that something was wrong.

"Brother, did you take the wrong car?"

Xu Mo asked Gu Heng.

"Yes."

"You'll find out later."

Gu Heng gently squeezed Xu Mo's small hand, his smile slightly mysterious.

"Whoa whoa……"

"Ok."

Xu Mo trusted Gu Heng completely, so since Gu Heng had said so, she didn't ask any more questions.

Five minutes later, Jilin University Ninth Hospital was already in sight.

Soon, Gu Heng's Maybach GLS600 passed by Jilin University Ninth Hospital, and then he drove into a high-end residential community called "Park Hyatt Mansion".

Looking around, all you see are villas and small high-rise buildings.

Despite it being winter and all the trees being covered in snow, it's still clear that the landscaping in this community is exceptionally well done.

Xu Mo watched as Gu Heng drove slowly forward, finally parking the Maybach GLS600 on the side of the road in front of Unit 2, Building 9.

"Get off the bus!"

Looking at Xu Mo's slightly bewildered pale face, Gu Heng smiled and gestured to her. Then he opened the car door and got out, walked straight to the back of the car, opened the trunk, and took out all the clothes he had just bought for Xu Mo.

"Brother, what you're doing..."

Seeing this, Xu Mo became even more confused.

"Come with me~"

Gu Heng still didn't explain. He carried the bags of goods and led Xu Mo toward the villa in front of them.

After swiping open the outer security door, the two took the elevator directly to the 7th floor.

"Om..."

The elevator doors slowly opened, revealing an entrance hall paved with warm white floor tiles. To the left was a floor-to-ceiling shoe cabinet, and to the right was a sticker of Disney star Lina Bell. The entire space was about 15 square meters and looked very spacious and cozy.

"Momo, welcome home~"

Gu Heng looked at Xu Mo, who had a blank expression, and said softly with a smile.

"go home?"

"Brother, this..."

Xu Mo pointed to what was in front of her, speechless with astonishment.

"Yes."

“From today onwards, this house will be your home in Beichun.”

Gu Heng casually placed the shopping bags aside: "I've rented this apartment in Park Hyatt Mansion long-term. It's only a seven-minute walk from here to Jilin University Ninth Hospital, so you won't have to get up early to squeeze onto the subway anymore."

"elder brother……"

Xu Mo tilted her head slightly, staring blankly at Gu Heng, her clear and clean eyes gradually filled with tears: "Why are you so good to me? I'm just an ordinary girl, I don't deserve you doing this."

An alcoholic father and an impoverished family instilled in Xu Mo a sense of "unworthiness" from a young age.

She is used to "pleasing" others, but if others treat her even slightly well in return, she will feel anxious and insecure, or even fearful.

This was the case when I was in school, and it's still the same now that I'm doing an internship.

When faced with "goodwill" and "friendliness" from others, she always subconsciously feels that she "doesn't deserve it".

"Who says you're not worthy?"

Gu Heng raised his hand and gently stroked Xu Mo's fair face, wiping away the tears from the corner of her eyes with his thumb: "Mo Mo, your kindness and purity deserve all the good things in this world."

"elder brother……"

Upon hearing Gu Heng's words, Xu Mo couldn't help but throw herself into his arms.

At this moment, she felt that from now on, her heart could never hold any other man but Gu Heng.

Gu Heng gently stroked Xu Mo's soft short hair, feeling not only affection but also a strange sense of emotion.

Once the economy and modeling are maxed out, you can easily deal critical damage that goblins or trolls could only dream of, no matter how you play.

technology?
Raiders?

No need at all.

Once a target is locked in, no matter how many competitors surround it, there will only be one outcome: a frenzied slaughter.

Xu Mo was so moved by Gu Heng that she cried for a long time before she finally broke away from him.

Her originally clear and clean eyes were slightly red, which, combined with her innocent and well-behaved face, perfectly embodied the idiom "to be pitied by sight".

"Don't cry~"

"I'll take you home to see the world~"

Gu Heng raised his hand again to wipe away Xu Mo's tears, then took Xu Mo's small hand and walked towards the door.

"Huh..."

With the password entered, the door lock opened automatically very quickly.

As Gu Heng opened the door, he said, "The password is your birthday. This lock can also accept fingerprints. I'll teach you how to do it later."

When Xu Mo heard that Gu Heng had set the password to her birthday, her heart was filled with sweetness and happiness.

The two changed into slippers in the entryway and then came out.

In an instant, a super wide hall, 9 meters long, came into view.

Compared to the modern minimalist style apartment that Gu Heng rented for Luo Xiwen, the apartment that Gu Heng rented for Xu Mo was in a trendy, girly, creamy style.

The walls and cabinet surfaces are mainly in off-white, oatmeal, and light brown tones, giving people a soft yet layered visual experience.

The living room feature wall uses micro-cement art paint, which has a matte texture, while the floor is covered with 120cm×240cm marble tiles. The seamless splicing design makes the overall space feel more spacious.

"This villa has a total floor area of ​​257 square meters, with one unit per floor."

"The homeowner is an elderly woman. She originally bought this house for her daughter to live in after graduation, but unexpectedly, her daughter passed the exam casually and was admitted to the Shenzhen Customs. As a result, the house has been vacant for almost two years after it was renovated."

Gu Heng sent someone to hire a cleaning company yesterday to clean the entire house inside and out, and ventilated the whole house for most of the day, so the house now looks not only very clean and tidy, but also has no odor.

"How about it?"

Do you like the decorating style?

Gu Heng looked around and finally looked at Xu Mo again.

"like……"

Xu Mo responded in a murmur.

At this moment, she felt like she was in a dream. She had never seen such a mansion before, not even in her dreams. And now, this very mansion was about to become her residence. How could she not feel that it was unreal?

"nice! You love it."

Gu Heng knew that the surprise he had given Xu Mo was a bit too much for her to process, so he didn't say much. He simply took Xu Mo's hand and led her on a stroll...
