Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?-Chapter 608 - 419: The Reason I Like You

Wei Jia slowly began to speak, her voice low beneath the backdrop of the waves:

"Everyone has their own path of destiny. If you've reached this point, it's your life's script.

Good or bad luck is merely a booster; whatever cards fate deals, everyone has to play. How many 'ifs' in the world can you turn back on?

Being able to lend a helping hand is goodwill; if you're unable to, you shouldn't blame yourself."

Her fingertips traced the edge of the wine glass, droplets of water sliding through her fingers onto the deck.

Li Jing turned to look at her, the warm light of the deck lantern reflecting on Wei Jia's face, and he suddenly asked, "If I had no money, would you still have fallen for me?"

Hearing this, Wei Jia removed her glasses and wiped the lenses, glancing at him:

"If you had no money, you wouldn't even have the chance to meet me. Remember the first time we met was at that ultra-five-star hotel?

You were wearing a custom-made suit at the time, checking into the presidential suite, and it was that display of extravagance that made me take a second look at you.

If you had no money, we probably wouldn't have even met by chance."

Li Jing smiled, raised his glass, and took a sip: "You're right. If I had no money, I wouldn't even have the chance to know you, let alone for you to like me, right?"

Wei Jia looked at him coldly: "Does it even matter to ask this question?"

Li Jing was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Indeed, it doesn't matter."

They both fell into silence, leaving the sea breeze to howl and brush against them, carrying a faint chill, yet neither mentioned feeling cold.

After a long while, Li Jing broke the silence again: "Honestly, my life has changed a lot lately. I used to be just an ordinary person working hard in Tianhai, crammed in a rented room eating instant noodles.

Now suddenly, I have money and a company, surrounded by so many women, it all feels like a dream.

I was really enjoying all this until I saw Zhang Xinxin suffering from illness like that..."

His voice gradually lowered, "She, like I once was, is just a little person struggling desperately in this city.

Sometimes I wonder, if I were the one who fell seriously ill, maybe I wouldn't be as strong as her."

As he spoke, he shook his head and smiled, "I don't know why, but I suddenly have so many emotions."

The night was ink-dark, with the sound of waves crashing against the yacht echoing in their ears.

Wei Jia quietly gazed at Li Jing, her eyes carrying a hint of scrutiny and mixed feelings.

While Li Jing stared at the brightly lit Tianhai City District in the distance, the dazzling neon lights shattered into fragments on the sea surface.

After a long time, he finally withdrew his gaze from the night and turned to meet Wei Jia's eyes.

Seeing her still fixing her gaze intently on him, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Wei Jia's lips curled into a slight smile, the collision of her dark red nails with the transparent glass making a subtle sound:

"I was thinking, perhaps it's time to tell you a secret. Do you know why I was willing to approach you and even wanted to befriend you from the start?"

Li Jing slightly furrowed his brow, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes, and shook his head: "I don't know.

Could it be because I have money? Or... because I'm handsome?"

His tone carried a bit of teasing.

Wei Jia gently shook her head, removing her gold-rimmed glasses to reveal those enchanting yet cold eyes, her eye corners slightly raised, adding an enticing allure:

"The first time I saw you was only when you booked the presidential suite. Among those I know, there are plenty who stay in presidential suites. As for handsome..."

She looked him up and down with a playful tone, "In the business circle, you're only above average."

Hearing this, Li Jing's expression shifted, prompting him to ask, "So what is it? What's different about me compared to others?"

After gently placing her glasses aside, Wei Jia tidied her hair, blown messy by the sea breeze, the cuff of her black suit slipping down to reveal a delicate luxury watch on her wrist:

"Your biggest difference is your ability to empathize with ordinary people.

Almost everyone around me is an entrepreneur, a boss, or a rich second generation, and their experiences make it hard for them to empathize with ordinary people.

In their worldview, survival of the fittest and elitism prevail, leaving no room for sympathy towards the weak, let alone mingling with them."

She paused, gazing intensely at Li Jing, "But you are different. Despite frequenting luxurious places and having abundant financial strength, you still retain a genuine sincerity towards ordinary people, understanding those who are working hard in Tianhai, moved by their plights.

This trait gives me a special feeling toward you. Although I can't do what you do, it's precisely this quality that makes me want to get closer to you, to know you."

After hearing this, Li Jing's eyebrows instinctively moved, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Only he knew that this empathy stemmed from his past as an ordinary worker, it was the accidental acquisition of the system that changed his fate.

Noticing his expression, Wei Jia didn't sense the turmoil in his heart and continued, "So, your reflections due to Zhang Xinxin are precisely because of your inherent empathetic kindness.

There's nothing wrong with that, in fact, if you became indifferent or even broke off contact because she fell ill..."

Her eyes grew serious, and she spoke each word deliberately, "I would instead look down on you and even distance myself from you. Because I've never liked such cold and indifferent men."

Before she finished speaking, Wei Jia had slowly moved to Li Jing's side, and their shadows gradually overlapped on the deck.

With that, Wei Jia raised her hands and began leisurely unbuttoning her suit, revealing the sexy lace camisole underneath.
