Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God-Chapter 818:

Hearing Wei Qingxue's question, Lin Fan couldn't help but laugh.

"What could I possibly want? Wasn't it you who approached me first, wanting a fake marriage with me?"

Wei Qingxue blushed and said, "But with your status, why did you agree to it, to suffer the humiliation of being the live-in son-in-law of the Wei Family? Everyone mocked you back then—do you enjoy masochism?"

Of course, Lin Fan couldn't tell the truth. It was all about tasks given by the system that he had to accept, so he said, "I was bored, and thought it would be fun, so I agreed."

Lin Fan had a hint of a rogue smile, like an emperor on an incognito visit, or an immortal playing with the mortal world.

Wei Qingxue broke out in a cold sweat. It was out of sheer boredom...

No wonder Lin Fan, instead of being the richest person, chose to work as a deliveryman. It was because he was too wealthy, life too dull, a way to kill time!

"Besides," Lin Fan continued with a smile, "when the whole Wei Family used to mock me, I didn't feel a thing, because their sharp words didn't hurt me at all. On the contrary, now that the truth is revealed, their expressions are simply priceless. Those ridiculous faces—it's quite entertaining."

Indeed, those from the Wei Family who had once mocked Lin Fan were now deeply regretting it. Their faces went pale upon realizing they had ridiculed the richest person in Yun City as a pauper.

Turns out, the real clowns were themselves!

What could be more ironic than this?

"You really do have too much time on your hands," Wei Qingxue sighed. "To you, our struggles probably don't even count as difficulties. You resolved the 1 billion funding gap effortlessly when Grandpa pressured me into a marriage alliance, and you cleared our unsold properties with just a few phone calls. We didn't know the truth and saw you as a sales genius. We couldn't resist the Wangu Group, but you counterattacked, leaving them in disarray. In the eyes of ordinary people, like us, those hot-headed ants are nothing but little ants, yet in your eyes, we are also just ants, right?"

Lin Fan was taken aback but then shook his head seriously, "No, it's not like that. I might be rich enough to stand in a place where I can observe the world coldly, but I'm not aloof. Instead, I've seen all aspects of the world—the ugly and the beautiful. Even if you look at the universe, whether the richest or the emperors, or common traders, are all as insignificant as ants. But in this world, each person who strives for a livelihood is not an ant, but ordinary and respectable humans."

Wei Qingxue giggled, "Lin Fan, people nowadays might not like what you're saying. Don't you know 'lying flat' is trendy now? If you dare tell people to strive, they'd get mad at you. For example, there was a famous host who got criticized by netizens lately, and some capitalists were also scolded. Lin Fan, you're a capitalist too!"

Lin Fan replied, "Do you know why that host got criticized? Because he couldn't empathize with the public. In fact, who among those clamoring about 'lying flat' is really doing nothing? Everyone is like a donkey being driven forward by life, forced into a 996 schedule. The pressure is immense, so they shout in frustration, 'I'm quitting, I'm lying flat!' But these are just words of venting. The next morning, don't they still have to squeeze into subways and buses? And that host takes these complaints seriously, acting all preachy and even saying low housing prices hinder young people from striving—such nonsense. He's not on the same channel as everyone else, no wonder he's annoying, that's being detached from the common people! The same goes for those capitalists. They honestly believe young people are going to 'lie flat' and won't work overtime anymore, so they act all righteous, persuading young people for their own benefit, not theirs. Yet they expect young people to agree with them?"

"That's why I never persuade people to strive, because I can already see their efforts and understand their hearts."

Wei Qingxue was stunned by these words.

To say such words, Lin Fan really is a rare capitalist. For a moment, Wei Qingxue's admiration for Lin Fan was like a never-ending river...

"Is this why, despite being the richest in Yun City, you still want to be a deliveryman? You don't want to disconnect from the people, and you've truly succeeded in that," Wei Qingxue remarked.

Lin Fan laughed, "No, I'm not that noble. I became a deliveryman simply because I was really that bored and wanted something to do, to pass the dull time."

Wei Qingxue almost fell over.

Lin Fan put on a serious face, "What I want to tell you is, whether I'm the richest in Yun City or a deliveryman, I'm still me, a unique existence. I don't want you to see me differently just because I'm the richest in Yun City."

"Hmm..." Wei Qingxue's face turned red, and she lowered her head. She indeed saw Lin Fan in a different light after learning about his status as the richest person.

However, after their conversation, she realized she was being superficial. Whether Lin Fan is a deliveryman or the richest person in Yun City, he is the unique Lin Fan, the man who makes her fall for him.

Lin Fan smiled, "So, are we still friends?"

"Yes." Wei Qingxue nodded with a reddened face, with no hesitation.

Lin Fan then cheekily said, "So, are you still going to pursue me?"

Wei Qingxue nearly died of embarrassment but shook her head, "No, I'm not."

Lin Fan asked, "Why not?"

Wei Qingxue replied, "You're the richest in Yun City, and I'm just a girl from a third-rate family. I'm not worthy of you."

Even though Lin Fan is still Lin Fan, he is, after all, the richest in Yun City, too outstanding. She admires and loves him to the point of feeling inferior. How could someone as excellent as Lin Fan ever fancy her?

During their fake marriage period, Lin Fan never showed any affection towards her, which is the best proof.

Lin Fan, as keen as ever, could see through her thoughts. For some reason, looking at this woman who once shared the name of his wife, Lin Fan felt a sudden spark in his heart.

Emotions are often inexplicable. Lin Fan never truly felt anything for Wei Qingxue when he was the son-in-law of the Wei Family, possibly because he was focused on completing his tasks. Now, without the constraints of tasks, as he spends time with Wei Qingxue, he can truly appreciate her.

"If you're not going to pursue me, then I'll have to start pursuing you," Lin Fan said with a slight smile.

What? Wei Qingxue wondered if she heard wrong, her heart race increased. Lin Fan wants to pursue her? The most outstanding man in the world, the man she admires, wants to pursue her? What kind of fairy-tale prince and Cinderella plot was this?

She even doubted herself, wondering if she was just hearing things.
