“This storefront must be very expensive!”
Second Aunt Brynlee accurately guided the conversation to the storefront prices.
In fact, she was just casually mentioning it, not expecting any concrete answers.
“Of course, it’s expensive; this storefront costs at least a few million.” Ivan chimed in.
“Second Uncle, you’re underestimating it.”
Jacob smiled and took over the conversation.
“A few million is too little?” Ivan looked at Jacob in surprise, and the other three turned their gazes to him as well.
Jacob pointed to his own storefront outside the private room window: “See that storefront? Fifteen million!”
“Ah?”
“That’s really expensive!”
“It actually costs fifteen million!”
Everyone exclaimed in amazement.
And the ace foil Brynlee once again posed a question: “Jacob, how do you know that storefront costs fifteen million?”
Jacob smiled and shrugged: “Because that’s mine!”
“Yours??”
The group exchanged glances, not expecting that he not only owned a mansion worth tens of millions but also had a storefront worth fifteen million.
But thinking about it, for someone who could spend twenty million on soft decoration, owning such a storefront seemed quite reasonable.
In fact, if Jacob claimed that the entire street belonged to him, they might not even doubt it. Because Jacob’s identity as a super-rich man had already taken root in their minds.
Sitting next to Jacob, Guan numbly looked at her temporary boyfriend. She remembered that her purpose in finding him as a temporary boyfriend was to annoy Daniela.
But now the script was developing in the completely opposite direction; not only was Daniela not angry, but she also looked at Jacob with the eyes of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.
But there are still over two hours left on the boyfriend experience card!
What to do in the future??? “So, how about it? Did my temporary boyfriend embarrass you?”
Jacob, having successfully shown off again, quietly sought praise from Guan.
“Awesome!”
“Super awesome~!”
Guan numbly gave a thumbs up, while internally she was frantically complaining: You didn’t embarrass yourself, but what about me later!
Where am I going to find a son-in-law worth over a hundred million to match your divorced, child-rearing, poor, and old script? You actually changed the script without permission!!
Damn old man!!
While Guan silently complained, Jacob received a message from Mira, saying that the bed he bought would be delivered soon and asking whether Jacob would go to receive it himself or if she should go.
Jacob couldn’t leave at this moment, and he didn’t want to deal with these matters, so he replied for Mira to go and sent her the password for the fingerprint lock.
When he last received the house, Jacob only had this little Mira registered with the property management, and he hadn’t registered her with his fingerprint lock. But since she was responsible for the decoration in the future, it was natural to give her the password.
Naturally, Mira, who received the password authorization, was overjoyed, feeling as if she was finally about to rise to prominence.
In the private room.
Jacob, as a temporary boyfriend, was quite diligent, accompanying Dawson and Ivan to drink quite a bit.
This meal was, of course, exceptionally pleasant.
As it approached eight o’clock, the meal came to an end.
Daniela insisted on paying the bill, claiming that the meal should have been eaten at their home.
Jacob naturally wouldn’t compete with her for it; after all, he was just an actor!
And a soon-to-be-finished actor at that.
Since everyone had been drinking, they had to call two more designated drivers.
After the four elders got into the car, Guan approached Jacob, looking up at her soon-to-expire boyfriend, then reached out and hugged him: “Time’s up, so let’s say a proper goodbye!”
“Did you enjoy the performance?”
With a slight buzz from the alcohol, Jacob patted Guan on the back of her head, grinning as he asked.
“You performed very well; they all believed it.”
“But it’s almost midnight; Cinderella has to go home.”
“Goodbye, boyfriend~!”
Guan released her arms, took two steps back, and waved at Jacob.
Just a moment ago in the private room, the four elders had already been discussing marriage and similar matters, causing Guan to unknowingly get into character.
In that atmosphere, she really felt as if this man was her boyfriend or even her fiancé.
So, her feelings were somewhat complicated at this moment.
But fake is fake; no matter how good a movie is, it has to end sometime.
She left her temporary boyfriend with a brilliant smile, then turned and got into the car. Jacob didn’t rush to leave; instead, he stood at his post, waving goodbye to the group on the roadside.
At this moment, he somewhat understood those actors who develop feelings due to their roles. It wasn’t just a few months of living together as a couple; even in these few hours, Guan had left a mark in his heart.
Of course, whether one gets into character or not is greatly related to the co-actor’s looks, figure, and personality! If the co-actor were a beauty of Jodie Comer’s level, Jacob could definitely remain unmoved and calm! Wait, if the co-actor were Jodie Comer, I definitely wouldn’t take the role!
So this assumption is simply not valid!
