The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 1758: Chapter 720: Three Wishes (Part 2)

Soon, the wrapping was torn open, revealing a satin gift box inside. Zhou Wang lifted the lid of the box along the edge, and then...

”?”

Zhou Wang looked up at Jiang Qingkui with some confusion, then down at the box, only to see three coins laid out from left to right in the long gift box.

Yes... three coins of different styles.

Zhou Wang couldn’t tell which country the coins belonged to, but he could barely make out the ”DOLLAR” inscription on one of them, recognizing it as a half-dollar coin from the Beautiful Country.

As for which country the other two coins came from, Zhou Wang didn’t know.

But that didn’t seem to be the main point. The main point was... three coins? What are they?

Zhou Wang took the three coins one by one to examine them, confirming that they were just ordinary coins without any hidden mystery. He bewilderedly looked again at Jiang Qingkui sitting across from him.

”Is this... did I get it wrong, or do these coins have some magical meaning?”

”The one with the wildebeest design is a South African coin, with a value of 5 Rands. It’s a souvenir I brought back from Africa when I graduated high school.”

Jiang Qingkui sat next to Zhou Wang, speaking in a nostalgic tone: ”I was quite brave, wasn’t I? An eighteen-year-old girl daring to go to Africa alone.”

”I’m more curious about how Uncle Jiang agreed to it.”

Zhou Wang’s mood mellowed at this point, and he asked with a smile.

”Of course, they didn’t agree.”

Jiang Qingkui smiled and said, ”I told them I was going to Tibet Province and that I’d be with a few classmates, but I secretly went to get a passport instead...”

”Zhou Wang, it was a truly eye-opening experience for me. The people living in another world, the animals running freely on the savanna... they made me think about many things, countless things.”

”Is this where you decided to break free from the cage and live your own life?”

”It’s not that dramatic, of course.”

Jiang Qingkui shot Zhou Wang a look, ”You could say it planted a seed... But the real thoughts emerged after I graduated and went to Iceland.”

Jiang Qingkui pointed to the second coin.

”Everyone goes to Iceland to see the aurora, but I’m different. I chased whales and volunteered at a local association for a while... Uh, that association is specifically for the care of the lesbian community.”

”Is that why you later started liking women?”

Zhou Wang said with a slight laugh.

”I used to think so because, for a long time, I had no interest in men—not anyone. I felt more at ease with women, until...”

”Until?”

”...”

Jiang Qingkui bit her vividly red lips, glanced at Zhou Wang from the side.

She didn’t say anything, but silence spoke louder than words.

Zhou Wang’s heart fluttered, but aware of certain things, he didn’t disturb Jiang Qingkui’s line of thought.

”The last coin is something I brought back from the Beautiful Country when I graduated. At that time, I had already decided to go my own way, and then I met you.”

Jiang Qingkui spoke at this moment: ”If you really need to say what these three coins symbolize, they probably represent my entire youthful years, from the naive period to the awakening... And now, I want to give them to you.”

Jiang Qingkui turned her head for the first time, gazing at Zhou Wang as she slowly curled her lips into a smile.

”Do you know what this means?”

”Oh, I sure do.”

Zhou Wang, feeling a bit excited, replied in a translation-style accent.

When a woman who usually holds her head high starts telling you about her past, and even becomes quite chatty...

She is likely ready to open up more than just her heart to you—probably another door as well.

Zhou Wang had waited too long for this day.

Considering the naive teenage years, it could have been a decade.

Among all the women around him, excluding Ding Yi, Jiang Qingkui was undoubtedly the toughest nut to crack.

For this reason, Zhou Wang had always gone to great lengths, employing every possible strategy with her. And now, Zhou Wang finally saw hope for a breakthrough.

Just as Zhou Wang couldn’t help but reach towards the edge of Jiang Qingkui’s skirt, where her smooth thighs, wrapped in thin stockings, emitted a tempting glow, Jiang Qingkui blocked him once again.

This time, Zhou Wang was genuinely a bit annoyed.

I mean, they’ve finished talking, watched the fireworks, had dinner; surely the pulling and tugging game has gone on long enough?

And Zhou Wang didn’t think his comprehension was lacking—there’s no way she didn’t mean it, right?

At this moment, Jiang Qingkui let out a soft laugh and asked before Zhou Wang could react:

”Don’t you think those three coins are just coins?”

”What else could they be?”

”Aren’t you very eager for me right now?”

Jiang Qingkui asked in a low voice.

”Of course!”

”Then wish upon them.”

”Wish upon?”

Zhou Wang was bewildered again.

”You surely don’t think the most suitable gift I painstakingly thought of is really just a few worthless coins, do you?”

Jiang Qingkui snorted softly, ”They actually represent... three wishes.”

Three wishes?

The mention of this term by Jiang Qingkui made Zhou Wang suddenly remember something forgotten, but now was clearly not the time to discuss it. Zhou Wang simply rubbed his hands.

”What sort of wishes?”

”Any kind can do.”

Jiang Qingkui smiled faintly, ”Of course, there’s one premise: it cannot excessively go against my personal will.”

”Can’t go against your will?”

Zhou Wang instantly protested, ”What kind of wish is that?”

”Don’t worry, when it comes to you, the things I’m unwilling to do should be very, very few... Besides, I don’t believe even with a little limitation, you’d be stumped. You’re Zhou Wang, who has often frustrated me. Three chances—aren’t they enough for you to get what you want?”

”That’s indeed reasonable.”

Zhou Wang touched his chin, having to admit it.

”Here’s the thing: considering I’ve combined your birthday gift and New Year’s gift, I’ll give you one more chance to trial and error.”

Jiang Qingkui crossed her knees, with the red-bottomed, black-edged high heels swaying softly.

”You can make one free wish now, as an experiment... Uh, what do you wish for?”

A free wish?

Zhou Wang’s mind began to race rapidly.

Under normal circumstances, he could directly wish for a physical advance, but Jiang Qingkui mentioned ”cannot excessively go against her will,” which probably included that.

Moreover, Jiang Qingkui tonight was exceptionally special; Zhou Wang wanted to savor her gradually...

”Here’s the idea.”

Zhou Wang thought it over and quickly came up with a perfect idea. He leaned close to Jiang Qingkui and whispered something.

”That, huh?”

Jiang Qingkui didn’t hesitate too much. She quickly nodded with a gentle laugh, ”Alright.”

What? That’s fine?

Zhou Wang now believed Jiang Qingkui wasn’t messing with him because the ”wish” he proposed was quite beyond what Jiang Qingkui’s personality normally allowed.

”Hold on for a moment; I’m going to the bedroom to get something.”

Jiang Qingkui stood up and went up the stairs.

Zhou Wang lit a cigarette, trying to calm his excited mood to avoid making a fool of himself later. But right at that moment, he heard the long-lost system prompt.

...

”Ding! Character ’Jiang Qingkui’s Resume’ has been updated!”

...

What, the ’Resume’ has auto-updated again?

Zhou Wang was taken aback. This situation had happened once before, also with Jiang Qingkui, and he hadn’t expected it to occur again.

Though currently in the fourth action round, with the warehouse tools mostly disabled, Zhou Wang could still directly check the active Resume, though he couldn’t edit it. So he immersed himself in the system warehouse and found Jiang Qingkui’s ”Resume” to check it.
