How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?

Chapter 39: The Disparities Between People (Revised)

(PS: For ease of reading, the character name "Gu Ran" has been changed to "Lin Ran" in the previous text.)

Handing her the shredded radish cake he brought for her, Gu Heng watched Fang Xun’s face light up with excitement and, chewing, he asked vaguely, "Why are you so happy?"

"Just now, the boat rental manager said that there have been few tourists recently, and the waterway isn’t crowded.

If we rent a boat, we have two options, one is to hire a boatman, 480 for a one-way trip around the river.

The other is to rent a boat and row it ourselves, 220 per hour!"

The more she talked, the more excited Fang Xun got...

"So, you mean you want to row the boat yourself?"

"Yeah~"

She nodded quickly, her eyes full of hope as she looked at Gu Heng, "I’ve been in Wuzhen for such a long time and this is the first time I’ve gotten the chance to row a boat myself. Let’s try it~"

Perhaps influenced by Gu Heng’s easygoing nature, Fang Xun no longer felt distant towards him. Her tone even carried a hint of coquetry, a blend of a young woman’s charm and a young girl’s tone, creating a lethality far beyond mere addition...

Fortunately, having had a few experiences interacting with beauties, his willpower remained fairly strong, and he didn’t fall for her charms.

"Choose whichever you like, but let me make it clear, I’m here to enjoy, and rowing the boat is your job."

"Yeah!"

"Then go ahead and rent the boat."

As soon as Gu Heng finished speaking, Fang Xun excitedly turned around and began renting the boat from the boat rental manager...

As for the other tourists still queuing up around, they overheard the dialogue between the two...

Some of the men, mistaking them for a couple, couldn’t help but secretly give Gu Heng a thumbs-up...

These days, who wouldn’t cherish a girlfriend?

Especially someone like Fang Xun, who had both beauty and a great figure, she was indeed a rare find...

Gu Heng, on the other hand...

Let the girlfriend queue up, let her pay, and even made her row the boat...

Could anyone really do such a thing?

But when she thought about it, it made sense, since Wuzhen was such a small place, bumping into each other again didn’t seem like such a coincidence.

Moreover, Gu Heng had left a good impression on her yesterday. Thinking about this, Lin Ran couldn’t help but feel a bit excited, "Then can we share a boat? I have to visit the Yuliuliang Coin Museum at 2:30, and if I miss this boat ride, I might not get another chance...

I’ll pay for the boat ride, how about we share one?"

Having said that, she looked at Gu Heng with hopeful eyes...

"Don’t ask me, she’s the boat owner, if she doesn’t mind having an extra person on board, then it’s fine."

Saying so, he pointed to Fang Xun standing next to him...

Fang Xun, confused by the conversation, couldn’t help but ask Gu Heng, "Do you know her?"

"Sort of, I just extorted ten thousand from her yesterday."

Although somewhat reluctant, she was, after all, just a housekeeper guide. Gu Heng’s attitude clearly agreed to share the boat with Lin Ran. Although he outwardly gave her the right to refuse, if she really did refuse, that would just show a lack of emotional intelligence...

She then adopted a magnanimous demeanor and gently smiled, "Since you know each other, let’s all ride together; it’ll be more lively."

With the approval, Lin Ran’s mood immediately improved, and she hurriedly thanked them, then continued, "How much is it to rent the boat? I’ll transfer the money to you."

But Gu Heng didn’t even bother responding to her, walking directly onto the boat, and once on board, he called to Fang Xun, "Stop dawdling, or who knows whether we can finish touring the attractions in a day."

Hearing that, Fang Xun gave a resigned smile to Lin Ran, "Just board the boat and we’ll talk later."

With that, she hurriedly stepped onto the boat, sitting between the two oars...

Lin Ran also quickly turned on her camera and followed them aboard.

....

On the shore, the male onlookers who had been watching Gu Heng’s maneuver from start to finish were all wide-eyed...

The phrase "role model for men" involuntarily came to their minds...

To let another woman ride in the boat right in front of his "girlfriend," and even have his "girlfriend" row them both... how is this different from having the girlfriend push from behind while the two of them are busy in bed?

The scariest part was, the "girlfriend" actually agreed quite docilely...

What’s even scarier was, both women were equally stunning beauties...

This made them deeply feel life’s unevenness...

Why do other people’s girlfriends understand how to be sensible and push from behind when their boyfriends are tired...

When one’s own girlfriend, quite ordinary, still needs to be treated like a fairy princess...
