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

Chapter 334 - 159: It Feels Great to Be the Villain..._3

Gu Heng took the tissue and wiped his mouth before heading straight for the exit of the canteen. Glancing at Jiang Ruxue walking shoulder to shoulder with him, he felt a bit uneasy at the thought that he was taking a bullet for her and, seemingly possessed, he reached out and wrapped his arm around Jiang Ruxue’s waist...

This action...

Not only did Du Feng freeze...

Many of the students in the canteen who recognized Jiang Ruxue were also taken aback...

Gu Heng could clearly feel Jiang Ruxue shiver as if she had been shocked by electricity, then she lowered her head and glanced at him...

Finding no change in her expression, he grew bolder, tightened his grip around Jiang Ruxue’s waist, and pulled her closer to his side...

As the two left the canteen so intimately, the murmurs inside immediately grew several times louder...

"Is this for real? The Ice Queen has also fallen? Just because he’s a billionaire? Can money really do whatever it wants?"

"I told you before that this Jiang Ruxue is such a fake, right? Have I hit the nail on the head? What Ice Queen, she’s just being hyped up by you all. When she meets a rich second-generation, she just clings to him, doesn’t she?"

"Tsk, tsk, big news, later I’m going to the school forum to listen to the heartbroken voices of Jiang Ruxue’s suitors."

Listening to these comments, Du Feng was in a numb state...

He wasn’t a simp...

As a student at Peking University with decent looks and a local Beijing hukou, even though he couldn’t be considered rich second-generation, his family conditions were far superior to most ordinary people...

There were several girls chasing after him...

In such circumstances, except for a man with a bad brain, nobody would play the simp...

But in the three years he had pursued Jiang Ruxue, Du Feng had certainly invested a lot of effort and money...

Gu Heng had quite a good impression of Jiang Ruxue.

She was beautiful, capable, and although a bit cold, that coldness had its advantages – cleanliness.

But now, his good impressions had waned a bit.

The reason was simple: she took it for granted that he should take bullets for her, but why was it unacceptable for him to suffer a bit of inconvenience?

What gives?

Was he destined to serve her unconditionally?

It’s normal for someone as excellent as Jiang Ruxue to be a bit self-important, but there’s a limit to how self-important one can be before becoming unlikable.

Even with all the advantages, he had never felt the whole world should revolve around him. What made her think it should?

With that thought, Gu Heng’s interest in Jiang Ruxue also dropped substantially. Watching the electric door of the Koenigsegg Gemera rise up, he walked towards the driver’s seat and said, "Now that taking the bullet for you is over, and since I was planning to go to the company anyway, if you still want me to drop you off, get in. If not, do whatever you want to do."

Jiang Ruxue didn’t know Gu Heng’s thoughts and felt a sudden chill in her heart as she sensed Gu Heng’s sharp shift in attitude...

She was the one who had been taken advantage of.

So why did it feel like Gu Heng was angrier than she was?

Just as Jiang Ruxue was about to say she didn’t need Gu Heng’s ride, Du Feng, who had followed them out, suddenly appeared from the side...

His mind filled with the sight of Gu Heng’s arm around Jiang Ruxue’s waist and the view of the unmistakably expensive supercar in front of him, he blurted out to Jiang Ruxue in an accusing tone, "Is this guy your boyfriend?"

Jiang Ruxue was already in a terrible mood...

She didn’t dare lash out at Gu Heng because he was her boss, and her internship had already been reported to the school. If she got fired because of this incident, it would delay her for another month or two...
