Chapter 150: I Can’t Afford

Chapter 150: Chapter 150: I Can’t Afford

Gu Jin raised an eyebrow.

Long Yifan took out his phone and transferred the money to Gu Jin.

"There is nothing that I can’t afford." He said with a smirk.

"Oh? Really?" Gu Jin asked with a bored expression.

Long Yifan smirked and asked,

"You don’t believe me?"

Gu Jin nodded.

Even if she was very rich and powerful in her past life she wasn’t able to get in contact with her dead parents. She wasn’t able to afford happiness, relaxation, and freedom.

Long Yifan challenged her,

"What can I do to make you believe?"

Gu Jin rolled her eyes and suddenly her eyes brightened which she quickly hid.

She took out a black stone from her space. There were many such stones in her space.

While collecting herbs the space had asked to collect the the stone. Gu Jin didn’t know why the space had asked her to do it but she did it anyway.

Gu Jin placed the black stone on the table and said,

"Can you afford to buy this stone for..."

However, before she could finish her words, Long Yifan’s sharp expression made her stop.

Gu Jin observed Long Yifan’s expression and realized that he was very interested in the stone and changed her words,

"Guess the price of this sto...precious element."

Long Yifan was able to identify Gu Jin’s mistake, but right now he was too focused on the black stone in front of him to think of something else.

He wanted to ensure that the black stone in front of him was the one he knew. Once he was confirmed, Long Yifan said,

"I will pay you 500 million yuan. Give me the black stone."

Gu Jin placed her hand on the black stone and said,

"And what if I don’t want money?"

"You want something else?" Long Yifan asked with a frown.

"Hm. If you could guess I will give the black stone to you." Gu Jin said with a smirk.

Long Yifan shifted his eyes from the black stone to Gu Jin and stared at her intensely.

Gu Jin didn’t back down and stared back.

In the entire magic world, she only wanted four things.

First money and power, second Si Kai, third an exit portal, and fourth, the person sitting in front of her.

She was able to earn money and power on he own, she would also take Si Kai with her once she left the magic world and found an exit portal.

The only thing she couldn’t get was him...

Gu Jin’s eyes were so intense at that moment that Long Yifan felt his heart skipping a beat.

Thump.

Thump.

Thump.

Long Yifan closed his eyes.

Without a word, he stood up and turned to leave.

"What happened?" Gu Jin’s question stopped Long Yifan who gritted his teeth and said,

"I can’t give you what you want."

Gu Jin had expected this answer but the disappointment and hurt in her heart made her feel a bit miserable.

However her face was a wide smile as she asked,

"What do you think I want?"

Long Yifan turned around and said with a stern face,

"Me."

Gu Jin raised an eyebrow and she didn’t forget to deal a blow to Long Yifan as she said,

"I don’t want you. I want the compass you had lent me. Mr. Long, you are handsome but I am a practical person."

Long Yifan felt his face turning a bit red.

He finally understood how embarrassed Gu Jin was that day when he played that prank on her.

Gu Jin was satisfied when she saw Long Yifan’s red face.

Who asked him to make her suffer?

Not to mention she didn’t forget the prank he had played on her.

Long Yifan gritted his teeth but the temptation of the black stone made him give up his ego for a second.

He decided to get back at Gu Jin some other day and said,

"Alright, I agree..."

"But now I want something more." Gu Jin interrupted him.

"What more do you want?" Long Yifan emphasized the word more to make Gu Jin realize that she was asking for a lot.

That compass that he had lent Gu Jin was worth around 900 million yuan.

How daring this girl was to keep on asking for more.

Gu Jin as if not taking the hint said,

"You will not hold a grudge against me later."

Long Yifan raised an eyebrow.

He was surprised. How did she know?

Gu Jin knocked on the table and said,

"What are you thinking?"

"Okay." Long Yifan agreed after taking a deep breath.

He was truly suffering a loss this time.

Gu Jin smiled took out another black stone and placed it beside the first black stone.

Long Yifan’s eyes widened a bit.

Damn!

How could she have such a precious element in such a high amount?

Gu Jin pushed the two black stones in Long Yifan’s direction.

"I don’t mistreat my followers." There was smugness in her voice.

Long Yifan suddenly walked up to Gu Jin and leaned in. Gu Jin subconsciously shrank back.

Long Yifan stopped just 2 inches away from her and said,

"I am your follower?Hm?"

Gu Jin remained silent. Her face didn’t have any expression. And if someone from her past life was present there, they would know that she was extremely nervous.

"Why isn’t Miss Gu saying anything?" Long Yifan asked in a low voice.

Gu Jin only felt her head and heart exploding.

Thump.

Thump.

Thump.

For a moment Gu Jin’s heartbeat had fastened so much that she feared that Long Yifan would hear it.

Her ear unconsciously turned red and fair cheeks were tinted with a hint of blush.

In her heart, she was wondering how could someone’s voice sound so sexy and charming at the same time.

She felt if Long Yifan didn’t create some distance she would do something inappropriate...

Not to mention his smell was making her go crazy...

How could he smell so intoxicating?

Long Yifan found that Gu Jin was looking very cute at that moment.

How could the usually cold girl suddenly have such a dazed look?

Was this still the girl who dared to go against him, time and time again, and even take revenge for the smallest prank he had played on her?

"Miss Gu, do you know how you are looking, right now?" Long Yifan asked. This time he had deliberately tried to make his voice sound seductive.

Boom.

Gu Jin only felt her heart exploding.

From her angle not only could she see, Long Yifan’s clear and toned chest but also a bit of his abs...

Sexy.

Sexy.

Sexy.

That was the only thing Gu Jin could think of.

"You are looking like a tomato." Long Yifan chuckled in a low voice.

Tomato?

Does he perhaps like tomatoes?

Gu Jin only felt that her brain wasn’t working properly.

She sat there like a rock.

Long Yifan who would have usually become uninterested if the other party remained silent, was particularly enjoying this moment.

In his heart, he wanted nothing more than to tease Gu Jin to the point her entire face turned red!

To do so Long Yifan leaned a bit more. The distance was so close that if Gu Jin moved even a little, her lips would touch Long Yifan’s...

Gu Jin who was about to calm herself down, instantly lost the courage to do so.

"Miss Gu I never thought you could be so quiet." Long Yifan said in a low voice.

Gu Jin closed her eyes and after 2 minutes when she thought her emotions had been suppressed, she said,

"Mr. Long, do you perhaps start to like me?"

Long Yifan raised an eyebrow,

"What do you mean?"

"Otherwise why would you be talking with me in such a close proximity?" Gu Jin opened her eyes and stared back into his eyes.

Long Yifan chuckled,

"I am not touching you, neither I am flirting with you, so why are you making such assumptions?"

Gu Jin interuppted him,

"Exactly. You are not touching me or flirting with me, but I feel as if you are sending ambiguous signals to me.

If you truly have started to like me, it’s better if you and your fiance make things..."

However, before Gu Jin could finish her words Long Yifan pulled away and asked in rather a cold tone,

"Are you perhaps jealous of my fiance, Miss Gu?"

Gu Jin who just earlier used those words to make Long Yifan create some distance between them, felt a bit jealous.

The word ’my fiance’ made her feel a strange sense of bitterness and anger.

My fiance.

Such possessive words.

So he really likes his fiance right?

"No." Gu Jin said with a smile,

"Remember I told you I will move on? I have in fact..."

"Really? Then why was...." your face turned red when I leaned in.

Long Yifan couldn’t finish his words.

He realized that if he continued, it would hurt Gu Jin for sure.
