?Chapter 616:


    Bu’s mocking tone seemed rushed and unfair. Even though Silver Fox had taken eighty million dors from him, it had happened just the day before, and expecting her to have bought a house by now was unrealistic.


    When Bu teased Silver Fox, he immediately sensed the folly of his words. His lips twitched nervously as he braced himself for her rebuke, aware of her quick temper.


    Contrary to expectations, she didn’t lose her cool but instead faced him earnestly. “How can you tell I’m a spendthrift? Is it that obvious to everyone that I am?”


    Bu found himself at a loss for words. What he had mentioned offhandedly had turned out to be urate. Silver Fox didn’t hide her tendency to overspend.


    Clearing his throat awkwardly, Bu attempted to soothe her. “I didn’t mean to offend. It’s just… well, you seem to have a lot on your mind.”


    Silver Fox sighed deeply, feeling utterly hopeless. Her trauma wasn’t something that could be treated with pills; it was something she had to work through on her own. Despite her efforts, oveing it alone proved incredibly challenging, and she often found herself unsessful.


    She wondered if having a child might help manage her spending, as it would make her think twice before each purchase. But the thought of finding a partner was daunting. She had once been ready tomit and even considered marriage, but her partner turned out to be unfaithful, leaving her doubly hurt.

    Her past rtionship hadn’t damaged her ability to love, but it had left deep psychological scars, making her wary of trusting again or entering another rtionship lightly, much less marriage.


    Bu tilted his head, observing her distress but unable to grasp the depth of her past trauma. Amused by her reaction, he teased, “Does your president’s wealth cover all your expenses?”


    Minty Fragrances and Perfumes, although a noted name in the perfume industry, didn’tpare to the mammoth Hoffman Group and seemed trivial to Bu. He was genuinely concerned that the wealth of its branch’s president wouldn’t sustain Silver Fox’svish spending habits. His worry wasn’t for the president but rather for Silver Fox, fearing she might find herself in financial trouble.


    Silver Fox had thoroughly reviewed her grandmother’s financial status, trying to forecast how long she could maintain her current lifestyle. The oue was always uncertain. Her expenditures fluctuated with her financial state—spending more when wealthier, less so when funds dwindled.


    She couldn’t predict how long her grandmother’s fortune or the profits from Minty Fragrances and Perfumes would sustain her.


    After some thought, she remarked nonchntly, “I’ll keep spending until I can’t.”


    Bu, taken aback by her blunt admission, couldn’t resist asking, “And once you’ve spent everything, what then? Would you consider divorce?”


    Silver Fox’s gaze hardened slightly at the suggestion. “Divorce is ast resort. I’d prefer to find another way to manage my finances.”


    Bu nodded, silently acknowledging her resolve. Despite the underlying tension, he felt a deeper understanding of her struggles and hoped she might find a path forward
