Chapter 853: 853 I'm Definitely Not That Kind of Person

Le Yu had just finished speaking when a message arrived on his phone, and he immediately cast aside all thoughts of Mr. Wen, bowing his head to reply with a secretive smile. The corners of his mouth lifted higher and higher until finally, he let out a silly chuckle.

Lin Gantang: …

How did he turn into this?

“Find some gold? You’re having so much fun,” Lin Gantang couldn’t help but ask.

After Le Yu replied, he looked up, his face beaming with delight, “What’s there to be happy about with gold? Only love can bring an eternal smile!”

Lin Gantang pointed to the frayed sleeve of his T-shirt and said seriously, “I think gold is more important to you at the moment. Look at you, Young Master Le, who won’t wear anything but custom-made, can’t even afford a battle dress now.”

Le Yu pulled over his sleeve to look, then laughed with a silly grin, “It’s okay, I’ll have my girlfriend sew it; it can still be worn.”

Lin Gantang was shocked. Was this the same Young Master Le who couldn’t tolerate a single flaw in his clothing and accessories?

“The shoes and pants were picked by my girlfriend, cool, huh?” Le Yu said proudly as he showed off.

Lin Gantang: “Good…”

“Of course they look good!” Le Yu exclaimed, “When I wear these clothes, anyone with good taste says I look dashing.”

Lin Gantang gave up; let me finish what I was saying, will you?

So if I don’t say you look handsome, I lack taste?

Seeing Le Yu now completely immersed in the throes of love, Lin Gantang found it somewhat funny, “Living together with your girlfriend, are you still having fun?”

“My girlfriend is super considerate. She earns money, is willing to learn to cook, and understands how to be frugal and manage a household. How could I not be happy?” Le Yu went on and on in praise, “I didn’t expect her to be so capable; I truly found a treasure.”

Lin Gantang had never seen him like this and couldn’t resist teasing, “You’ve had relationships before, but I’ve never seen you this invested.”

“Before I met her, my girlfriends were somewhat interested in my family’s wealth; not one of them was really willing to go through hardships with me.” Le Yu said, “Now I’m getting a pitifully small base salary, and she’s actually happy to be with me, even spending her own salary together with mine. Tell me, isn’t that a bit silly?”

Lin Gantang smiled faintly, “Actually, there are many girls willing to love and consider their partners purely, but unfortunately, in the end, there aren’t many who can truly remember their initial brilliance.”

“I’m definitely not that kind of person,” Le Yu said without hesitation, looking at the messages on his phone and sighing, “This is what poor people’s love looks like; it’s so blissful.”

Lin Gantang almost choked on his words, shaking her head with amusement, “You say that because you’re not truly poor; you just find it novel. Love in poverty can be sweet, but a marriage in penury often rushes to a premature conclusion.”

Suddenly, Le Yu seemed worried, “What if she gets mad when she finds out I’ve been pretending to be poor?”

“If you’re afraid she’ll get angry, why not come clean to her now?” Lin Gantang asked.

Le Yu scratched his head in distress, “If I come clean now, she probably won’t believe me, especially since my Dad threw me out right in front of her, and all my bank balances have been frozen.”

It was a bit tragic, but Lin Gantang felt a perverse urge to laugh.

She told him the truth, “Pretending to be poor when you’re rich may not necessarily anger your girlfriend; but if you’re truly poor and pretend to be rich, your girlfriend will definitely be upset.”

“Forget it; things are pretty good as they are, I’ll deal with it when the time comes,” Le Yu decided not to agonize over it and asked Lin Gantang, “I hear you’re planning a wedding, when is it happening?”

“August 20th. I’ll give you an invitation; remember to come,” she replied.

Le Yu counted the days, realizing it wasn’t far off. Thinking about his savings, he suddenly felt defeated and approached her with a pitiful expression, tugging at her:
