Spending the villain s money to extend my life

These are not in chronological order
1. Painting
How one of her main traits and one of the main things she was excited about (besides getting gifts to live) was the «upgrades» she got in her painting ability. I thought painting as her main thing was cool because in most of these stories it’s usually acting or cooking. But the thing is after she got the ability to make people feel things when they look at her paintings (which I think is level 2 on this skill but I can’t remember for sure and don’t want to go find it), she didn’t use her health points to upgrade the ability after that. And one of her main things is or should I say was was painting because they haven’t talked about that in forever. Now all she’s uses her points for is to upgrade her looks, which would be fine except for it’s only that all the time now.

2. Going off of that some of the stuff she gets from the system like the bride halo: which I think basically made it so every time she turned it on she would act like it’s their wedding night all over again (aka no experience in bed), basically her acting very inexperienced which isn’t really bad but just made me feel a little weird. Especially since in like every chapter they don’t forget to throw in how small she is «like ML took her small hand» or «ML patted her on her small head», like I get it you don’t have to mention it every chapter. And the fact that they talk about childishly she dresses in regards to her night clothes which again isn’t so much a problem but still it’s weird.
3. Also going off her pajamas he doesn’t want her dressing like that in the house in case other people see her. Fine I get it if you have people who work for you in the house you shouldn’t be dressing inappropriately but like it’s night time. And besides the butler you dismiss all the servants at night. This is supposed to be her house to and she should be able to dress how to she wants.
4. She’s also supposed to have the ability to help with his insomnia with one of the abilities she got from the system. And she even said when she got this ability at first she was going to use it to help him sleep and she’s only done it like 3 times and he still suffers from insomnia or did they just forget that plot point? Because even at one point he ask her to sleep with him on the couch because he thought it could help him sleep, so why after they got married he didn’t want to sleep in the same room as her?
5. Marrying her because he thought she was depressed, sir get her some therapy if you think she’s depressed. He just keeps throwing out mixed signals of he wants to be with her but also stay away from me.
5. His little sister which I like one of her main task was to get ML to get along better with his little sister. But mostly what she did was sit there while ML was rude to his little sister and tell her to leave. And the little sister is sitting there in awe because her brother is doing stuff he wouldn’t normally do. And I get that it’s his trauma and he’s kinda nice to her even though he refuses to interact with her. I just don’t think MC should’ve gotten points for that because besides the introduction she didn’t do much

6. Her being drunk is the most annoying thing

7. The system getting more involved in her life. She is doing the most ridiculous (sometimes hard to understand pointless things) because the system is giving her more specific task instead of general ones like before. For example her having to do those 3 weird kisses, what was the point in making them that specific when ML didn’t even realize 2 of them?

Save all the things I listed above the book is pretty good. Except when we got the wedding. I don’t know if the book changed the author but from the wedding on wards it felt like a very different book to me. Just like a bunch of scenes they thought would be fun to throw together in a book and the plot while flowing is secondary.
‘Example

During their wedding night she has to say no to him three times and then sleep with him like why? Also she was very drunk sounding the whole scene. I couldn’t even enjoy their first night together because it felt so incredibly forced instead of natural. Also because of that SHE DIDN’T EVEN GET TO ENJOY HER WEDDING, I was looking forward to the wedding scene so much. And all I got was a disappointing 1-2 chapters about it. Like describe the venue, her dress, what they looked like at the altar, SOMETHING instead they just said they got married and then she gets drunk (which she didn’t want) 2nd we move on the very awkward in my opinion first night (which they also didn’t detail enough)

I will say what I did like about it and made me feel like it was back to original style was the face slapping scene when they came back from the wedding that was good. She definitely needed to say that and I’m glad it was there.
So overall it is a good and fluffy book and I am looking forward to more face slaps in the future also the two of them finally figuring out their in love, but it is getting hard to read.

Spending the villain s money to extend my life

The ML had some minor misunderstandings about the FL’s thoughts earlier in the story but it was ramped up to 100 and he now thinks she’s suicidal and going to kill herself. And of course the only way to prevent this is to give her a romance worth living for (like what?)

The system, which up until this point had been more passive/setting tasks that she could achieve without looking like she was crazy, suddenly decides that setting a task of asking for three kisses on the lips, chest and cheek, and then three hugs (normal, princess-style and lying down being hugged from behind) all in SEVEN DAYS would be completely normal relationship progress between these two characters who haven’t even held each other’s hands.

At this point the FL doesn’t even really have any feelings towards the ML beyond being his friend, feeling sorry for him and wanting his money to survive, which just makes it worse.

And while I’m at it, I might as well just add that I really dislike the trope where one party severely misunderstands the other causing them to feel pity and/or treat them in a different way. Like, it’s funny to read, but it’s hard to get behind the ML falling in love with the version of the FL in his head who is weak and needs help rather than the real FL who is capable and proactive.

Love love love them!

ML’s view of himself is just right, not exaggerated.

FL’s character development is palpable but not forced.

Their love story unravels at a steady pace, it’s the perfect pace IMO!

I have never have the patience to read contemporary transmigator/reincarnator story, but this one is GOLDEN.

A lot of the ideas are well executed:

relationship between MC ML and their respective biological family, system tasks completion, her career in arts and her company.

Each topic has enough details and completion, which is very satisfying.

The 2nd FL and 2nd ML ended up being a bit brain dead, but I think it didn’t really impact the story in negative way.

I really like MC character; she is not dense, brave enough, and also willing to work hard. She is also quite smart in using her reward from the system, which I really appreciate as it has been a pet peeve of mine when MC of different stories did not utilize their system to its full strength.

btw does anyone think their baby is actually the system?

Wish there would be more side stories.

Overall an enjoyable read! Totally recommended!

Last read: completed

Light strory, no heavy dramas.

Love the interactions between the FL and ML.

However, it grew on me once the ball started rolling for reals and ML started responding to MC’s efforts

The story and relationship became fluffier and funnier, made me chuckle irl a lot lol it’s your typical OP CEO ML x commoner-but-actually-lost-wealthy-daughter MC plot but with a quirky stay beautiful forever wealthy wife-OP painting system!

MC, a transmigrator, is your usual OP FL due to having a golden finger (drum rolls) her system! While it pitted her a lot in the beginning, she benefits from it more than not lol MC is mature and collected, but sometimes ditzy around ML which is cute I guess. Just typical MC yes

ML is seemingly cold to the bone due to trauma from circumstances beyond his control—personally, I would like for the brainless side characters to perish but Mr Huo is a good man who can’t be bothered to waste energy and resources—but he’s a real sweetheart and sticky like a warm, muscly padded jacket just for MC once she breaks gently pries open that shell (ृ ˘ ꒳ ˘ ृ )

I liked reading the eventual progression of their relationship and having insight on the ML’s brain hole gymnastics which surprisingly build up their relationship and occasionally destroys this sand sculpture couple lmfao

at one point he thought MC was highkey depressed with thoughts of death but MC was actually worrying about him and the plot where he’ll die in 2 years

Overall, have patience because it’s an amusing story! The writing and translation is topnotch, though split chapters aren’t my cup of tea

Gu Shishi, a national painting expert, was dressed as a cannon fodder female match in a dog blood article.

But she accidentally opened the road to reversal!

— The more things the big villain gifts her, the longer she can live and the more golden fingers she has!

[Drop! Received a limited edition silk scarf! Life value +13 minutes and 3 seconds!

[Drop! A bottle of 20 years wine! Life expectancy +46 minutes and 14 seconds!

[Drop! Taste a three-star Michelin meal once! Get permanent acne-free skin!

One day, Huo Devil came home and found Gu Shishi secretly looking at him.

He frowned and threw her a bank card: Take it and spend it, don’t bother me!

The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services.

Devil Huo: Ho, vulgar and money-hungry woman!

Two years later.

Two years later.

The woman who is focused on the baby, Gu Shishi, threw over a picture: good boy, go play by yourself!

A collector: Mr. Huo, this, this painting can be parted with? I offer 10 million!

Huo devil: go away, my!

Siyi has yet to figure out what was going on, but immediately acknowledged his boss. “Oh, alright. I will go let the others know about the meeting.”

Huo Sishen’s lips, that he was trying very hard to maintain his cold look, twitched a couple of times.

“Push it off till tomorrow morning.”

Before Siyi was able to process what Huo Sishen had just said, Huo Sishen added with his hoarse voice, “Make it after 10 AM.”

By that time, the certain someone who wanted to do some thigh-hugging… would already have breakfast prepared.

Then what about Sier? Was he still tossing people over to Africa? Why did he feel that everything that the boss said today was all. bullsh*t?

Siyi turned around and took one more look before he left the study.

He noticed that the boss, who was standing under the light and covered in a layer of orange glow, seemed to have softened. The cold air was mostly dissipated. And his lips were curved upward…. He wanted to smile?

Siyi shuddered and left quickly.

[Received fondness from Huo Sishen!]

Gu Shishi heard the melodious sound of the system notification as she was happily soaking her feet.

The boss must have just had the steak that she had made him.

She had one herself tonight as well. It wasn’t as good as the chef’s cooking, but it was already leaps and bounds ahead of just any other person’s.

She smiled complacently and sent a message over to the boss.

[Was it good? Do let me know if you want anything done differently. HAHA!]

She was just toying with the idea of just how awkward of a return message the tsundere boss would send when she received the instant reply from him.

[My Lifeline Boss: Mmm. Not bad.]

What happened with the boss today?

Whatever happened to his mean words?

Gu Shishi was stunned for a little bit before she received notification from the system the next second.

[The male lead’s fondness LV3 reached!]

[Host had levelled up to LV3 (The Wife of a Prestigious Family Who Has Seemingly Received the Fondness of Her Husband)]

The heck was that?!

Looking at the word choice of the system, Gu Shishi wasn’t sure what to make of that.

So… did that mean she got it or she didn’t get it?

The system was too fond of playing around with words!

Luckily, the good news that followed made her ecstatic immediately.

[Maximum life increased to 10 days.]

[Current life balance: 6 days 13 hours.]

Gu Shishi let out a cry and even kicked the water inside the bucket in excitement!

Ten days… Finally, she could live up to 10 days.

Her life! In 2-digit number! After all these humps, it did not come easy!

Lowering her head, she spent some time on appreciating the long health bar on the screen and was so happy that she could not keep her mouth closed.

[Maximum life limit at LV 4: 30 days]

Gu Shishi couldn’t help but gulp.

Level up! She must level up!

Having a full month of life meant that she would no longer need to live in fear every day!

She could even go on a short trip for half a month or so and not be with the boss all the time

And she wouldn’t need to stay inside the mansion everyday and work in recharging day in and day out…

A month’s life was too important to her!

“Must work hard on leveling up! Must hurry up!”

Gu Shishi quickly became very determinant.

Any gatherings on Gu Wushuang’s side, no matter what kind of crazy people would be there, she must attend them all!

Those would all be perfect opportunities to suck up blood!

Want to read ahead? A listing of available advance parts:

Early in the morning and ideas were rushing through her head. She had an idea of at least 10 different constructs of…. Sleeping beauty (pretty men) paintings.

She sat up cautiously after basking in the contented feeling for a little while.

She finally felt something metal after the fact… she blushed all of a sudden.

She had just fallen asleep so inexplicably last night and didn’t even have a chance to take off her bra.

Owing to her long-time habit, she felt comfortable going to bed with her bra on and would normally take it off in the middle of the night.

Then she just randomly tossed it next to herself…

She picked it up. She felt disturbed when she looked at her black bra with embroidered edges.

Did the boss see her removing her bra in the middle of the night?

Gu Shishi had a very complicated look on her.

Huo Sishen had always been a light sleeper.

He had woken up the moment that the girl stirred.

But he dared not make a move.

His plan last night was to return to the study to do more work after the girl had fallen asleep.

He hadn’t expected that he, too, would have fallen asleep while looking at peaceful look on her as she fell asleep.

He had pulled all-nighters three nights in a row. Had he finally reached his limit last night?

It was as though his sleepiness had exploded.

It had always been easy for him to fall asleep next to her and, last night, he didn’t even wake up once in the middle of the night like he normally would. All the way up to the point when she stirred…

She flipped over and snuggled up to him like a kitten.

And that was how he was woken up.

He figured he’d pretend to be asleep in order to avoid the awkwardness.

Gu Shishi would normally be at the breakfast table by 7:30 AM on weekdays.

It was already 7:20 AM, he figured he would leave after she went to wash up.

Nevertheless… she was zoning out in bed… lying next to him. It felt like she was staring at his face….

He finally waited until she had sat up but she had a…. bra in her hand… that he had no idea when she had removed and continued to zone out…

Huo Sishen felt that his temples had never hurt more than they did right now.

In fact, even the back of his ears was burning a little.

When he was still mulling, Gu Shishi had finally finished organizing her thoughts.

In fact, she had even finished reading the unread messages from the system.

[Beep! Third hugging position completed!]

[Main mission 3: 5/6 completed. Please keep up the good work, host.]

Now a kiss was all there was left to do!

Gu Shishi’s eyes beamed.

She turned to look at the boss who was sleeping quietly. Without any hesitation, she closed her eyes and, trembling, planted a gentle kiss on his chin.

[Hint: Move leftward and upward 3

Gu Shishi adjusted herself immediately and smacked, smacked, smacked all the way to the right location.

She finally got out of bed happily when she heard the melodious chime of [100% completion].

She sprinted into the bathroom and washed up and got dressed in 5 minutes.

She then dashed back to the bed and put her bra back on!

Picking up her purse, she dashed out of her room.

Closing her door gently behind her.

Gu Shishi was downstair on time for her breakfast.

“Miss Gu, your appetite is very good today.”

Mr. Chef handed over to her another serving of eggs and bacons.

“Yeah! I finished completed this big task. Boy, was it tiring!”

Gu Shishi devoured the food and wiped her hands clean on the napkin.

This was when she finally happily checked the updates in the system after she had completed the final kiss.

[Completion of Mission 3! Reward: No more double chin halo now available!]

[Would you like to apply it now?]

Gu Shishi pulled out her cellphone immediately, adjusted it to selfie mode, and checked out her chin carefully.

She lowered her head, then lowered it some more.

Never mind about double chin, there was not a hint of extra fat on her jawline at all.

Gu Shishi looked left and look right and could not be happier.

She had heard in the past from one of her master’s customer who had liposuction at the hospital to have her double chin removed. She was swollen for more than 7 days.

Another friend of hers went to have hyaluronic acid injected to get rid of her double chin and give her a pointier-looking face. She turned out looking like a snake demon – the chin was too pointy and too fake-looking.

Besides, hyaluronic acid would decompose over time and its effect would last at most a year or two.

Follow up was necessary after 6 months. It would cost 20,000

30,000 yuan a year and there was no guarantee that the result would be desirable either.

And now, hers was fully natural.

Her natural jaw line did not change all, just her double chin was gone.

Painless, harmless, and the effect was permanent.

Gu Shishi could not be happier.

While she was feeling cheerful, her cellphone rang.

She looked at the caller’s name and her smile deepened.

Luckily, Gu Shishi was able to let out a sigh of relief after she did the calculation.

The boss was nice to her after all. After all the ups and down for over an hour, her net gain was +3% last night.

[Progress to the LV3 of Fondness from the Male Lead: 84%]

If this happened every day, she could advance to the next level in her sleep!

Gu Shishi’s mouth cracked open right away.

She was, however, stunned when she walked into the kitchen.

“The stock that I made… why was there only so little left?!”

Gu Shishi’s eyes almost popped out after she looked inside the pot.

It had shrunk drastically!!

The pot was ¾ full last night but had now lowered visibly to ½ way point!

She was about to scratch her head when a cold voice came from behind her.

“There’s no need to shout.”

She turned around and saw Huo Sishen standing coldly at the dining room entrance.

He had on a light-grey suit. It was crisp with no crease at all. Even his hair was impeccable and his entire body exuded the feel of solemnness.

“All I could hear was your chattering all morning long.”

Huo Sishen’s lips were shut tightly. It was all coldness between his brows.

“Eh, I’m sorry…” Gu Shishi blinked. She lowered her voice and gave the boss with an appeasing look. “I was too emotional.”

Huo Sishen nodded and a hint of awkwardness flashed past his eyes.

“It was just some soup. There was no need to shout.”

Gu Shishi nodded but still turned and looked at the pot, perplexed. “But I made that specifically for…”

She made that so she could get feedback from Mr. Chef. And she had planned to use the stock to test cook a few other dishes. But how was she going to do that with that much soup gone? Aye.

But she didn’t finish what she was saying. She covered up her mouth and didn’t want to irritate the boss again with her rambling.

She failed to notice the fact that the man in front of her blushed all the way to the tip of his ears because of her nervousness.

Huo Sishen turned around and froze awkwardly by the entrance.

Specifically, said the girl. He didn’t fail to catch that.

She had made that soup specifically… for him.

His rhythmic breathing was interrupted and became heavy.

She didn’t finish her sentence because she was shy in front of him?

His cold lips curved a little upward.

Finally, the girl felt some shyness today.

He turned back around, forced himself to calm down, and said, “There’s no need to tell me what it is for.”

Gu Shishi pouted a bit and acknowledged him weakly.

But just when she was about to put the cover back onto the pot, she heard another “Ding!” sound in her ears.

[Received fondness from Huo Sishen!]

QAQ. Exactly what was going through the boss’s mind?!

“Eh? Uncle, you will be taking off sooner for your vacation?”

Gu Shishi received the sudden notification half an hour later.

Chef Chen Qi wasn’t scheduled to to take off for another three days according to the original plan. Why was he going to start his vacation today?

“I’m sorry, Miss Gu. My family is…” Chen Qi couldn’t go on.

Next to him, Butler Lin gave him a look.

“I’m sorry. Please take care of Young Master’s meals, Miss Gu.” Chen Qi could only lower his head in distress.

Gu Shishi quickly shook her hand at him and said, “Oh, don’t apologize. It’s alright.”

“Don’t worry, Miss Gu,” said Butler right away. “Young Master always has lunch at the office. You only need to prepare dinner.

“In addition, you can just let me know what to buy and what needs to be chopped up. I will have a couple people helping you out.”

Upon hearing that, Gu Shishi’s mood improved instantly.

Rinsing and chopping were both time-consuming tasks. It’d be much easier with someone to help her out. Otherwise, she’d need to have everything prepared the night before as she’d still need to go to work.

“Thank you, Butler. I will send you the list later. I am going to head to work now.”

“Okay.” Butler Lin quickly bowed to her. He finally let out a sigh of relief after seeing her off.

Want to read ahead? A listing of available advance parts:

Gu Shishi smiled with her mouth closed and agreed.

She picked up the coffee mug and took a big sip –

She planted her lips heavily next to the man’s mouth and pressed a white stamp on him!

Huo Sishen’s handsome face paused a little.

[Beep! Coffee kiss 85% completed!]

[The most important part of these assignments is not how it was done but the true meaning of love and be loved.]

[Congratulations, host. You have achieved the next level.]

Gu Shishi pulled out a napkin and covered up her mouth.

What did it mean by love and be loved? The system could really give her goosebumps when it said things like that!

She was just about to wipe her mouth when she was surrounded by a light scent of sandalwood.

And, the very next second, a man’s hand was placed on the back of her head.

Through the napkin… slowly, her early fleeting kiss was deepened.

She could hear the chime in her head indicated that her assignment had been completed!

Gu Shishi had a blast on the island.

It was the salted-fish life that she had always wanted.

She would sleep till she woke up naturally and never needed to have an alarm set.

Food would be brought to her when she was hungry and beverages when she was thirsty.

When she was done eating and drinking, she wouldn’t even need to do any dishes.

Finally, she could appreciate the sceneries, go fishing, and even go for a short swim. On a good day, she could even chase after a sea turtle during her swimming…

She would sunbathe on the beach. If any ideas came to her, she would go back and work on some paintings; otherwise, she would just close her eyes and rest. When she soaked her feet in the tub at night, she would look at the newest work online and practice her basics.

Then, she would bed… the sleeping beauty.

As Gu Shishi relived all those, she looked at the archipelago that were shrinking in her sight and the blue ocean longingly through the plane window.

Then, she rolled to her side with her head over a pillow.

The seat in first class could be converted into a bed and came with blanket and pillow.

It could also be combined with the adjoining seat into a big bed.

Gu Shishi blinked, took a sneak peek at the profile of the man who was perusing his documents, and closed her eyes docilely.

She would need to return to combat mode when she woke up!

She stuck her lips out, grunted, and frowned a little.

Huo Sishen turned his page and looked down at her.

Seeing that she looked like she was having a nightmare, he pursed his lips thoughtfully.

Landing at the same time with them was the fearless Huo ChuChu.

“Are you sure you will be okay going back on your own?”

Gu Shishi expressed her worry as she watched Little Sister Huo about to jump into a car after they had landed.

She had run off, despite his family object, for an entire week to attend her brother’s wedding.

It would probably be not very pleasant for her when she got home.

Huo ChuChu waved her hand uncaringly. “It’s fine. I have already struck a deal with my grandmother. I am going to clean up my acts after I get home. I will join the company to help out Second Brother, work hard, and go to arrange dates with my mom.”

Huo Sishen was standing next to Gu Shishi when she asked.

He frowned almost unnoticeably when he heard the arranged date part.

Gu Shishi knew he objected to it when she saw the frown but he was not the type who would say it out loud.

So she had to be the one who did it.

“You are still young and there is no rush. You shouldn’t compromise on matters of the heart or give in too much to your elderlies. You don’t want to be stuck in an unhappy marriage for life.”

When she finished talking, it was obvious that Huo Sishen started paying attention to their conversation.

Gu Shishi gestured to Huo ChuChu to check up the disapproving look on her big brother.

He looked up and gritted his teeth. His big brother was clearly the one sitting in the boss’s seat.

He would just be kidding himself if he wanted to say that his big brother “just happened to be there” or that it was a “coincidence”.

His big brother had returned in such way!

He had announced his existence that nobody could surpass!

“Big Brother…” said Huo Wencheng with difficulty.

Everything that he had done in the past; all the effort that he had put in to appease his mother; and how he had given up all entertainment as a child and focusing only on moving forward, just became meaningless at this very moment!

Even if he never stopped to take a break, he still would not be able to catch up to this man!

Ma Hing, the Manager of Sales who came with them, finally starting to notice that something was a little off.

Quickly, he saw the handsome man at the CEO seat put down the pen in his hand.

Profound, cold look came from his black eyes.

“There are only competitors here.”

Huo Wencheng’s face turned from pale to dark instantly.

“You did all this on purpose! Chuchu was able to secure a contract with you when I sent her over!

“And when it was me, no matter how hard I try, I would never meet your standards! You had been toying with me this entire time!

All of a sudden, his feeling of inferiority turned into anger.

Once he had it all figured out, he roared in a suppressed way.

Standing next to him, the look on Gu Wushuang had also turned from shock into stunned. There was even a hint of admiration in there somewhere.

She was smart. Huo Wencheng’s words allowed her to piece everything together and understood who was really the man on the top of the food chain.

Her husband, standing next to her, was far inferior to his older brother. Standing in front of him, he didn’t even have the ability to fight back!

Gu Wushuang couldn’t help but feel a shred of regret now. She took a look at the only outsider presence.

“Manager Ma, I suddenly recall that there is an urgent meeting back in the office. Can you please attend for me?”

Ma Hing acknowledged her immediately. Under this bizarre atmosphere, he couldn’t leave soon enough.

“Big Brother Huo, I think there are some misunderstandings here. What say we put all of our misunderstandings and prejudices aside for the time being and focus on our business deal for now? As long as the Gu Corporation can bring you enough profit, it will be worthful for us to have a discussion over our cooperation, right?”

Gu Wushuang had always been good at this.

Whenever it was time to take the softer stance, she would instantly adopt the role of a fragile female.

With that pitiful look on her, one would feel that it was a sinister act if they didn’t let her at least finish saying what she was there to say.

Any man with any sort of compassion would never treat her that way.

Huo ChuChu, behind the screen, was about to vomit from Gu Wushuang’s speech. She tucked at Gu Shishi’s sleeve and gestured with her fingers over her neck. She then leaned into Gu Shishi and said, “Sister-in-law, time to show your face?”

Gu Shishi was sitting comfortably.

They hadn’t even exchanged too much talk yet and she had just sat down.

It was too much of a hassle to stand back up right now.

Right when she was hesitating, a cellphone rang in the office.

Gu Shishi was taken aback a little. She patted her pocket and it was empty.

Her cellphone had fallen onto the couch outside!

She carefully poked her head out from behind the screen and happened to see her man turning and looking at her handsomely.

Gu Shishi narrowed her eyes happily.

“Big Brother Huo, your cellphone…”

The very next second, Gu Wushuang picked up the cellphone before Huo Wencheng could even get to it, and walked toward the desk in a fawning manner.

Huo Wencheng looked even more unhappy.

As a man, having his own woman approached another man, the sense of helplessness, of being trampled all over, and anger all came at him at the same time!

On the other side, Huo ChuChu had on a set of power suit with perfectly delicate makeup before she went over the HK’s China region headquarter building.

She was very glad that she had dyed her hair back.

She worried that she would foil the deal on day one otherwise.

As for Fan Yu, the boss of Strategics Department, he walked in front of Huo ChuChu with his back straight and stomach sucked in.

He straightened up his tie, took a deep breath, and stopped in front of the elevator in the underground parking garage.

“Xiao Huo, just follow my lead, okay? Don’t say anything unnecessary.

“Even though we were invited by HF, we shouldn’t appear too stuck up still.

“You haven’t had a chance to look through the documents yet so I will take over the talking part. You can take notes.”

Having said that tuned around and took a look.

His heart was pounding out of his chest.

They had been following up on this for over six months, how was it that HF would out of the blue reached out to them when they already thought this was a lost cause?

Pleasantly surprised, startled, and awed. All sorts of emotions went though him.

He thought Huo ChuChu had mistaken when she first related the message.

Why was it that they would reach out to the Third Miss of the Huo’s on her first day of work?

“Xiao Huo, do you have some sort of connection?”

Fan Yu finally asked the question that had been on his mind out loud.

“You know someone who works at the HF headquarter?”

He had some biases against her knowing that she was a second generation rich girl.

That she knew nothing and Wencheng shoving her into this project as the responsible person was a terrible idea and that they would just fail.

He wasn’t so sure any more. Perhaps she had connections?

“No, no one, Boss Fan,” replied Huo ChuChu within a second after she had searched through her brain.

“As you know, I have just graduated.”

And not a great student at that.”

She even failed a few courses.

Fan Yu, who had seen her resume, his lips twitched and felt congestion in his chest.

“Connection? I only know anyone with the last name Huo’s and my mom. You know that as well.”

Huo ChuChu stretched out her hands.

She was a Second Generation Rich with nothing to hide.

Fan Yu wiped away his sweat with the tightness in his chest and said, “Alright, let’s head upstairs.”

When they arrived at the receptionist area on the first floor, Huo ChuChu had a fairly good idea where she stood and didn’t let her boss go up to talk to the front desk. She voluntarily walked forward and told them the purpose of their visit.

The girl at the front desk took a look at the information in front of her and said, “Oh, Executive Assistant Meng? He’s over at the CEO’s area. Hang on a second.”

Executive Assistant Meng…

Fan Yu’s eyes were bulging out.

They had bidding on several projects with HF before and been to their headquarter quite a few times in the process but had never once met their CEO.

At most they had spoken with the responsible party of their International Department.

What was going on?

Did the bid that Xiao Chen wrote a particularly touching and sincere bid before he resigned that he had convinced them with his heart?

“Hi, Executive Assistant Meng, I have a Mr. Fan and a Miss Huo at the front desk here to see you. They said they have an appointment with you to talk about details on a project.”

The girl at the reception sounded very respectful and her voice was melodious.

Fan Yu was very attentive.

This Executive Assistant Meng seemed to be someone up there.

A lot of times, an executive assistant working next to the CEO has status that rivaled that of a department head.

He wanted to make sure that he didn’t come across as disrespectful when he spoke to this executive assistant.

While Fan Yu was deep in his thoughts, the receptionist nodded and hung up the phone.

Fan Yu quickly adjusted the buttons on his shirt again.

The girl at the front desk had already stood up politely and gave Huo ChuChu a very friendly look.

“Please wait a moment, Miss Huo. Executive Assistant Meng will be coming to get you shortly.”

Spending the Villain’s Money to Extend My Life

Spending the Villain’s Money to Extend My Life Chapter 143

The sultry autumn tiger, even on a red-smooth night, can be a little irritating.

The top floor of the Yamato Hotel in Beijing is decorated with the highest-level banquet hall full of pink and pink roses. A charity art auction is being held tonight.

The waiters are in constant flow and from time to time, they offer champagne or other drinks to the guests in the guest area.

The entire hall was dimly lit, with only the spotlight in the center of the stage, clearly shining on the ceremonial lady wearing a split sequin cheongsam and the red silk cloth-covered display cart she pushed slowly.

The symphonic discussion of the joints rang softly, but soon drowned in the Beethoven symphony.

As the red silk unfolded slowly, the host also decided to speak.

«This pair of Zhou Gongyi Dreams by Mr. Wu Zhengzhong, about three meters long, is the largest ink painting of Mr. Wu on the market. Inspiration and the process of painting. «

«On the screen is our sixteen miniature cameras, all-round viewing videos taken from different angles and heights. You can enjoy them in five minutes.»

«The starting price for this work is one million.»

«The fare increase is 50,000.»

As the host explained with a smile on his face, the VIPs of various VIP seats also moved their eyes to the screen.

But in the last row, a man with a big back and a three-piece brown custom suit sitting by Dajin Jindao was a wonderful young woman turning to her side with a smile.

«Yiru, do you know Mr. Wu Zhengzhong? His paintings were worth 238 million at a French auction.»

«The reserve price is too low today.»

«But those who know it will naturally understand the value of this painting, and you will be able to witness the next miracle later.»

Li Yiru smiled bitterly and nodded elegantly.

This was her first blind date, and she couldn’t remember it.

Since going to Shencheng, Dad has thrown her to a blind date in Beijing because of an introductory phone call.

This extremely greasy guy is the third master of the Zhu family in Beijing.

She was super compliant.

But Dad also issued a military order, she must insist on dating this person and get appreciation from the other party, otherwise the pocket money is confiscated.

«Hong giggles, this uncle seems to be different from you.»

Li Yiru was tangled, but heard the sound of a baby girl.

Li Yiru blinked his eyes.

She immediately remembered the treasure she borrowed on this trip—Hu Shihong, the son of Gu Shishi, and Qin Fufu, who was two years younger than him!

Whenever a blind date, bring a baby!

Not awkward throughout!

«Xiao Yuhong, how about this picture? Tell your aunt Xiaoru soon.»

She had almost forgotten just now, and this little guy had another big function, and he kept asking softly.

Sure enough, I heard the voice of the little guy.

«Xiao Ruyi, this painting is worth no more than five million.»

«Three million to five million, you can consider buying a collection, which has value preservation for ten years.»

«More than five million, if you have the pursuit of aunt’s heart, you can buy it as a gift. After all, etiquette is light and affectionate, and the price is not important. As far as collection is concerned, it has another meaning.

With a few words, Li Yi blushed.

But she also understood that five million is the highest bid line, and if it exceeds, it is not cost-effective.

The audience watched the big screen quietly. Not only did Li Yiru hear the voice of the little guy, but the son of Zhu San next to her naturally also heard it.

«Ha, little guy do you know this? Then I’ll make a bet with you, OK?»

Zhu Sangong is very determined.

For collectors, not only the ability to identify, but also the information of major auctions.

Once a well-known painter is auctioned at a high price, basically all his works will increase the value of his paintings.

«This painting is similar in size to the 200 million works, but with a different theme.»

Full of confidence, he finally turned his attention to the child.

I saw this baby wearing a small suit, seemingly stern, but the reddish lips seemed to be slightly upturned.

Some small round faces with a seemingly non-existent smile, a pair of black eyes are clear and clean, and they look very much to elders.

Shen Chenghuo’s child.

Although he didn’t often walk around there, he also knew that he was a child of a large family.

Huo’s family has always attached importance to children’s artistic accomplishment, but this is only a seven-year-old child this year.

How do you know the twists and turns of the collection world?

«As long as it is less than 100 million, I will buy it today.»

Zhu Sangong laughed.

Huo Yuhong nodded, «Yes.»

The little pink girl with a head shorter than him was next to him, and her soft cheek was close to his ears. «Hang giggles, isn’t he just saying,‘ there is more money than stupid people? Girls want to stay away?

Huo Yuhong reached out and patted her little head.

Not speaking is obviously considered as approval.

Because she was sitting close, Li Yiru could hear clearly and her mouth twitched.

«Three million times!»

«Every time it is 4.4 million!»

«Five million times!»

After the auction, the price rose rapidly.

The third son of the Zhu family had a growing smile on his face.

«Little brother Huo, your uncle will teach you a lesson today.»

He raised his lips and reached for a sign.

Raising three million in one fell swoop is quite handsome.

The third son of the Zhu family is very proud.

Anyway, the price has to rise to one or two hundred million. Why is it so slow?

He leaned back against the chair leisurely.

«Three million deals, three deals! Congratulations to Mr. Zhu!»

Qin Fufu next to Huo Yuhong Chao spread his hands and educated the little girl again.

«When you don’t know, just watch and listen, don’t worry.»

Li Yiru turned his head and laughed.

Seeing this greasy man eat tadpoles is really heartening.

«Xiao Yuhong, give Aunt Xiao Ru a popular science report.»

Huo Yuhong nodded his head, and there were some cute fingers, imaginary points to the screen.

«The techniques of the two paintings are different. The 200 million works are Mr. Wu’s last purely freehand landscape paintings.»

The work of practice is naturally different from the mature-style works, and the natural price can’t be confused.

Li Yiru hurriedly hurried to Baidu.

Sure enough, he found the original text that Mr. Wu wrote in his autobiography «Painting.»

The auction wants to sell high prices, naturally hides this part of the information.

Li Yiru busy handed the phone to Zhu Sangong, making him flushed!

Exercises, of course, not worth 200 million!

If it wasn’t for his anxious call to eight million, I am afraid that everyone will start talking about five million!

But he was very fashionable and wanted to show up in front of the girls, but he pitted himself!

«The other two» Dream «themes should be worth more than 100 million yuan. After all, they are successful innovations by famous painters. If you have the opportunity, you can buy them next time.»

Fok Yuhong summarized.

Son Zhu San was also injured 10,000 points.

He brought Li Yiru to the auction because he wanted to make a good impression with knowledge and insight, but—

ten minutes later—

Huo Yuhong: «As auntie, this Maitreya ruby ​​can be called 800,000. The scarlet texture is rare, the carving is round, suitable for girls, and it is worth having. It can be preserved for 50 years.

Huo Yuhong, «Aunt Xiao, this screen work can be bid within eight million yuan. The landscape is hazy, the mood is good, and the ink splash method is very mature. The painter does not have the same type of creation, and it will rise in ten years.»

Child Huo Yuhong: «This root carving is of ordinary skill, but it is better than natural interest, 500,000.»

During the whole process, Zhu Sangong could only open his mouth wider and wider, and never dared to make a fuss.

Halfway through the auction, Li Yiru actually photographed two collections.

One was ready to be given to her dad as a birthday present, and the other was for Huo Yuhong’s children, because he was underage and could not hold a card.

Zhu Sangong also followed, and silently took a pair of ink paintings.

When the venue dispersed, he sent Li Yiru back to the hotel with his two children.

Li Yiru laughed. «On the introducer side, give me a good comment.»

She also worked hard for pocket money.

«I didn’t grab the pair of inks you just bid for. The boy said it would go up, it would go up.»

Unexpectedly, Li Yiru nodded.

Li Yiru bid farewell to him chicly, without looking back, walking on high heels.

«Xiao Yuhong, thank you this time!»

When she entered the hotel, she bent down and hugged a seemingly serious little guy, couldn’t help kissing her cheeks.

Huo Yuhong nodded to her with a smile, stretched out her right hand to hold her, and her left hand caught Qin Fufu, who was holding sugar and had no idea what happened.

«you are welcome.»

«Aunt Xiaoru is also a rising collection, and it is worth waiting for a better collector.»

Flipping, Li Yiru dropped all the shopping bags in his hand.

Lied her to have a son again!

Li Yiru was about to pick up the shopping bag, but a magnetic voice sounded in his ear.

She was thinking that the sound would make people pregnant. When she looked up, she saw a handsome man, bending down and smiling at her deep smile, some cynical and a bit masculine.

«Miss Li? For the first time, I’m Xiao Yuhong’s cousin.»

«Help you get into the presidential suite. This is the card.»

Chapter two son.

Li Yiru’s face turned red instantly.

The author has something to say: Dear dears, it should be this time

Many Dongdong I have finished writing in the text, and the rest, we will see «I rely on raising cubs to upgrade» in the next book

Spending the Villain’s Money to Extend My Life

穿到豪门花大佬钱续命

Summary

Gu Shishi, a master of traditional Chinese painting, transmigrated into the role of a cannon fodder in a cliché novel.

The cannon fodder female supporting character was switched at birth. She had barely spent a few days with her biological parents before she was tossed into the wolf’s den by those same parents. Her parents, having no heart to send their fake daughter with a heart disease to live a hard life, forced the real daughter into becoming the replacement. Gu Shishi was sent away to marry the big villain – the rumored evil, cruel, and wife-cursing first young master of the Huo’s.

On the very first day that she had transmigrated, she had to face her fated tragic death….

Luckily, she had also inadvertently discovered the path to altering her fate!

— The more gifts she received from the big villain, the longer she could live and the more cheats she would gain!

(Method of Recharging: Receive Money or Valuables from Wealthy Husband.)

Looking at Gu Shishi standing in front of her, Zhao Xian could go mad from jealousy.

How was she able to be engaged to someone who was of such a high caliber?!

“Aye, Zhao Xian, we should go eat!” Ling Xiaomei walked over and grabbed her.

Since Zhao Xian had mocked her painting in front of everyone earlier, she was definitely not one of her favorite people right now.

“Let’s go! Shishi is so lucky. No need to be jealous here,” added Ling Xiaomei.

Zhao Xian grinded her teeth even more.

“That’s right. Let’s go, let’s go.”

The other ones from the art center had also recollected themselves.

They didn’t know how to act in front of the cold man in the backseat, so they all left in a hurry.

“Shishi, we are going to the new steak house. You should come join us in a little

Don’t eat alone, that’s so lonely,” said her colleagues passionately.

Gu Shishi nodded.

She wanted to wave and smile at them but she… couldn’t.

Her hand that was in the boss’s right hand has already been frozen solid.

Even through the car door, she could feel the cold air that could cover the heaven and earth slamming at her as if they were free.

Even though she was standing on the ground that had been beaten down by the summer sun, half of her body felt chilled.

After her colleagues from the art center left, she stiffly turned and looked at the man’s now baleful, foul-mood, could-almost-strangle-her-right-there-on-the-spot’s… death stare!

Gu Shishi gulped.

She caught sight of Siyi out of the corner of her eyes and he, too, looked as though he had just seen a ghost!

She was holding onto the boss’s hand!

She had forgotten that the boss was a germaphobe and hated to be touched.

“How much longer are you going to keep holding me for?!” Each and every single word from Huo Sishen sound like they were squeezed out through his teeth!

Gu Shishi quickly pulled back her own hand!

She quickly pulled out a pack of tissue from the pocket of her jean skirt in the next second. She wanted to pull one out, but then she paused in the middle of her action.

“Eh… boss, oh, I mean, Mr. Huo, Would you like to take one to wipe your hand with?”

Gu Shishi pushed the tissue toward him in a flattering manner, and she even carefully opened it half way.

“I’m sorry. So sorry. I saw you reaching out your hand and thought you had a moment of mercy for me and wanted to shake hands with me to celebrate our friendship.”

Hearing her words, the veins on his right hand that he had just retrieved almost exploded.

“Siyi, drive!” Each word of his was filled to the brim with his brooding anger.

Siyi, sitting in the driver’s seat, bitterly smiled and stepped on the gas.

At the same time, he left with Gu Shishi a look of admiration.

She was the very first woman who had the courage to hold his boss’s hand.

“Bye bye. Again, I’m so sorry

Gu Shishi dared not stand right up next to the car window anymore. She didn’t want to cause any more physical discomfort for the boss. She could only wave at Siyi from a few feet away.

Huo Sishen was a severe germaphobe. Even the workers at the mansion were required to wear gloves when they work, and even disinfect over 10 times a day.

She had been too smug!

He probably spoke up in an effort to help her out of the bind in front of her colleagues.

Yet she reached out and held his hand…

Even just one second would have made him feel awful, but he let her hold his hand in front of her colleagues so as not to embarrass her.

Even though his face was so dark he was on the verge of unleashing, but he never yelled at her.

“Boss… was truly a nice man with a kind and soft heart,” mumbled Gu Shishi as she saw the car off with her lunch boxes in her hand.

Inside the car, Siyi carefully peeked into the rearview mirror to check on his boss.

To his surprise, he found his boss staring at his own right hand with a complicated and profound look.

He didn’t use the wet hand wipes that they had in the car or any disinfecting alcohol.

Siyi shrank his neck a little and dared not look any further.

Out of the blue, right when she was about to pass the living room, a low and sandy voice that sounded from afar came coldly.

Gu Shishi jumped and almost dropped down onto her knees.

With a groan, she hugged her own weak and helpless self.

A screeching sound like some sharp instrument was dragged across a glass surface gave her goosebumps!

Gu Shishi wanted to take a step back to turn around and run away.

But, a cold hand suddenly grabbed onto her wrist!

“Ow!” Gu Shishi couldn’t help but scream out loud.

“Shut up!” Came the coarse voice again.

Gu Shishi shuddered and look in the direction of the voice with her teeth gritted. After a short while, she asked in a shaky voice, “Bo… boss?”

Under the dim light, she was finally able to see a dark shadow sitting on the couch next to her.

Deep and cold eyes looked straight at her, making her shuddered again.

Was that Huo Sishen?

Gu Shishi gulped.

Yet, the other person didn’t move, or say anything.

The living room was ridiculously quiet.

Gu Shishi wanted to cry.

Shivering, she fished out her cell phone and turn on the flashlight and aimed the beam of light decisively toward the dark shadow on the couch that she couldn’t make out.

A beam of strong light landed on the man on the couch.

He had on a blue robe with a sash tied loosely around his waist. As though he was being very impatient, his top was not straightened out and she could see a patch of his wheat color skin along with a hint of his defined muscles.

Gu Shishi pursed her lips, and her hands shuddered.

Her sight followed the light up and quickly saw a stone-cold and handsome face.

The chilly black eyes squinted into a line from the bright light; the disgruntledness in them looked like a thousand knives that wanted to have her killed in the next instant.

“Oh, ha ha ha…” Gu Shishi gulped and moved her cellphone away as she laughed dryly.

“Boss, oh, I mean, Mr. Huo. It’s you… you are still up… ha ha.”

Huo Sishen squinted his eyes.

Gu Shishi wanted to wave at him and realized that he was still gripping onto her right wrist.

What was he doing that for?

“You’re looking for me?”

Gu Shishi was baffled.

The boss told her to go over to him. Now he wouldn’t let go of her but he also wasn’t saying anything. What was going on?

Eh… was he being a tsundere again?

Whatever happened to him being germophobic?

“Eh, you got the painting that I asked Siyi to give to you this morning?”

As she was talking, she stealthily opened up the system’s interface.

She quickly checked the details under Doting of the Male Lead.

The level of doting was going up!

Visibly so. At the rate of 1% per second!

He didn’t say a word but just hold onto her and secretly increasing his fondness of her?!

His tsundere syndrome has reached a whole new level!

He received her “Red Mountains”, loved it, but wouldn’t say it out loud?

So now he gave her the death stare as his way of thanking her?

Gu Shishi was dumbfounded.

As she was trying to figure it all out, the hand that was gripped onto her started to relax.

Using the light from her cell phone, she looked up and saw that Huo Sishen’s eyes were closed. Like a devil in deep sleep, his look turned nice and soft….

She opened her mouth.

He felt asleep again?

Gu Shishi didn’t know what to make of that.

She was just about to walk away and a deep voice rang from behind him.

Oh, he wasn’t asleep yet.

Gu Shishi turned her head.

She noticed that he didn’t open his eyes but his arm moved, as though he was adjusting himself to find a more comfortable position to fall asleep.

As weak as she was right now, her mind had never been clearer.

This time she was so sick that she couldn’t even hold up her paintbrush and her life bar was dropping at 300% rate. She was practically puking out blood as she walked. This had made her all the more aware that there was nothing more important than life itself.

One would have to be alive in order to eat and drink, and to be able to create “experience-for-yourself’ paintings, and have her four husbands in her video game.

Those would all be gone if she died.

Besides, according to the book, the big villain Huo Sishen only has 2 more years to live.

She must live till then so she could try and save him.

Technically speaking, their lives were tied to each other’s!

Taking this logic a step further – when he was spending money on her, it was the same as him spending money to buy his own life!

“I’ll work harder going forward and create one painting a day. Then, I can sell my work and repay him!”

After she had it all figured out, she didn’t feel bad anymore.

She looked down and saw that her red packet had been opened.

How exciting was that!

The boss had received her mini red packet!

Her little heart started to pound!

In the novel, everybody thought that Gu Shishi was kicked out of the family when he was still a young man and owned less than 10% of the the Huo’s Corporation with no rights to succeed. But, what they didn’t know was that he had accomplished far more than that outside of the Huo’s long time ago.

He was now the hidden boss of HB, the largest social network and search engine. He had also purchased quite a few mines overseas.

His personal assets had way exceed that of the Huo’s a long time ago!

In the novel, the Huo’s never found out about his assets until after his death, making them feel very regretful about it.

And, he hadn’t left a penny of his fortune to them either. He gave away half of them to his employees, and nobody knew what happened to the other half.

“Ah, let me take a deep breath and be prepared!”

She didn’t want to be shocked by any 5-digit or 6-digit amount red packet!

Gu Shishi couldn’t stop smiling.

But then… she kept on waiting. Until she almost fell asleep, nothing came over her cellphone.

The boss received her red packet and then… that was it?!

She refused to believe that!

And yet, she waited until Boss Huo returned to the mansion and turned in. Even then, she still hadn’t received anything in return….

Now Gu Shishi didn’t feel so good anymore.

She wasn’t someone who gave up easily.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have practiced painting for 20 years.

She had IV fluid for three days, and she persistently sent Huo Sishen red packets for 3 days!

Each time she sent over some caring messages as well.

Be careful in the rain. Be careful of the high temperature today. Do eat your lunch on time….

And still, she received nothing back from him.

Under her extreme distress, she jumped up, grabbed her paintbrush and streamed a “Little Chicken Fighting for Rice” drawing to let out some steam.

With the effect of “As Though Assisted by God”, the chickens were so lively in her mind they could bounce out any minute!

She scolded as she drew.

The entire “childish” farm life painting was done in one swift stroke!

The chickens were vivid and live-like. Even the way that they were eagerly fighting over the rice was about to leap out of the paper.

Her streaming screen exploded once again.

[King of the Hill: That was amazing? Is this for sale? I’ll pay. Give me your contact info!]

[King of the Hill: Hey, hey, hey! Where are you? Are you selling the “Red Mountains” from last time as well?]

[King of the Hill: ….. Shoot! Are you snubbing me? My Wechat’s username is ‘King of the Hill”, add me pleeeeeeease!]

Gu Shishi, naturally, did not see any of those messages as she was very focused on her painting. She just went ahead and turned off the streaming after she was done.

She admired her own work for a long time and felt that all the unhappiness in her chest was relieved.

She was feeling much better!

After three days of sick leave and the gifts of the IV, medicine, bird’s nest soups, abalones, etc, the fall of her life bar has finally been stabilized.

She picked up her stuff and finally went back to work.

As for the delicate man, who had been waiting for her with flowers for three days straight, he was close to tears when he finally saw her showing up in front of the art studio.

“Miss Gu, you are finally here. I have missed you so.”

Gu Shishi looked up at the stranger dumbfounded, “Who are… you?”

Chen Yilang, who owns the player panel, gradually gained insight into the world, and since then he has reached the pinnacle of his life.

With a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, Chen Yu, who can only tighten his belt and eat instant noodles, accidentally obtained the Shenhao system just after receiving his salary, and his assets increased by 10,000 times!

Not only that, but the prices of the entire world have fallen ten thousand times.

A Rolls-Royce for three thousand dollars, a building or even a large piece of land for a few thousand dollars, can you believe it?

Butler Lin turned and looked at Chef Chen. Wiping away his sweat, he asked, “Old Chen, what are you fretting about? Just remember what Young Master has said to you. You are just starting your paid vacation early.”

Chen Qi gave him a wry smile, “Do you think Young Master is tired of my cooking?”

When he came over to make breakfast this morning, he was told by Butler Lin that he was being put on paid leave effective today.

“You are overthinking this. Young Master did not have me look for a new chef. Just enjoy your time off and work hard when you return.” Butler Lin tried to comfort him.

Chen Qi was still frowning with worries. “Will Young Master still need me by the time I return? Or that Young Master will want Miss Gu to take over cooking from now on?”

He was truly worried. Even though his employer was cold and distant and had a poor reputation, the benefits here were top-notched. Plus, work here was much cushier than at a restaurant and he was well-respected and not ill-treated.

“Old Chen, what are you talking about? You think Young Master will have Miss Gu cook from now on?” Butler Lin had an odd look on him. “Do I need to remind you of the role of Miss Gu?”

She was the Young Master’s fiancée!

“How do you think she was being treated compared to the last two?” Butler Lin added.

Chef Chen was enlightened. Sticking his thumb up, he said, “Miss Gu is this!”

Not even on the same caliber as the last two! Young Master had never paid the last two any attention at all, let alone asking the kitchen to prepare special meals for her.

“So, do you get it now?”Having said that, Butler Lin walked out of the dining room with his hands behind his back. He stopped again when he reached the entrance.

“Have your apprentices be on the lookout and have a grasp on the situation. Don’t try to boss Miss Gu around. Anything of the dicing and chopping that are high risk, they better be taking them over. If she cut herself or burn herself, I wouldn’t be able to defend you.”

Chef Chen smacked himself on his forehead like he had just been shown the ways!

Why did he bother giving Miss Gu any recipes? Was he an idiot? All Miss Gu needed to do was the scoop the food out from the pan and that was that!

Young Master did not kick Miss Gu out. At the rate things go, she would be the future Madam of the house!

He couldn’t be more wrong before. If they truly tried to have her as a cook, things certainly would not end well!

Chef Chen quickly rushed over to warn his apprentices.

Gu Shishi, who was already labeled as “the future Madam” and “the one in control of their salaries”, had no idea what had transpired in the kitchen.

She was still making notes on the recipes as she sat in the bus.

She did, however, receive system notifications before she arrived at the art studio.

[Received fondness from Chen Qi, Zhao Dandan, and Liu Mengdi.]

Gu Shishi paused in her tracks.

Chen Qi was the name of the master chef. But who were the other two?

She flipped through the system and found out that they were the cooks at the mansion.

Were they Chef Chen’s assistants? Perhaps because she was doing the master chef a favor this time?

Gu Shishi quickly arrived at a conclusion and put the thought aside.

Before she got inside the elevator, she waved at a girl who was pacing back and forth with a mask on.

“This way, MeowMeow.”

“Shhhhh…. Don’t be so loud. And don’t call me MeowMeow.”

Chen Kexin noticed that everybody around them were looking at her. She regretted picking that as her alias online.

“Kexin? Xiao Ke? Xinxin?”

Gu Shishi raised her brows.

Chen Kexin’s lips twitched. All of those sounded even more intimate!

“You… are you aware that you are the common enemy among all my girlfriends?” Chen Kexin was dripping sweat.

“Oh? So, you hate me too?” Gu Shishi pulled back her hand that was reaching for the fans.

Chen Kexin had been staring intently at her hand ever since she had opened up her bag. She felt even more impatient when she saw the dark green, delicate-looking paper box. But then she saw Gu Shishi put the box back to where it was.

Chen Kexin, “….” She and her big mouth!!

Want to read ahead? A listing of available advance parts:

“C’mon, I will drive you.”

He couldn’t help but turn and look at Luo Zheng as he said that.

Sure enough, he saw some approval from Luo Zheng.

But the next second, a hint of surprise flashed past Luo Zheng’s eyes.

Wu Zhenhao was very proud of himself. This was the newest model that just came out this year, not even very many SGR have this.

He was happy for all one second before another beeping sound came from nearby.

He turned and looked. There was a Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly driving next to him. Wu Zhenhao was so envious his jaw almost hit the ground.

Compared with this, his BMW was as low as the dirt!

“Meimei, you get into the car first. I have already told the chauffeur that we will drop you off on our way,” said Gu Shishi quickly.

Her soft and crisp voice hit Wu Zhenhao like a slap on this face.

The very next second, he could do nothing but watch Gu Shishi and her female colleague stepped into this super awesome and money-burning Phantom.

“Thank you, Shishi. Eh? This looks different than the one from before. I almost didn’t notice.”

Ling Xiaomei might not know much about cars, but she is an artist, she was sensitive to the outline of the cars.

The chauffeur who stepped out to open the door for them smiled and explained, “The boss wanted to take a different car today and had me take this one instead. Perfect timing to take the two of you back.”

They have more than one fancy car at home!

Wu Zhenhao felt pain on his cheeks!

He tried to show off his wealth in front of Gu Shishi with a fake bankcard, a BMW, and a bundle of flowers?

She has a chauffeur, a fancy car, and an entire outfit of designer brand clothes. What else did she need?

Wu Zhenhao was about to start crying.

What a sh*tty gig!

Rumor had it that he was cursed and had already lost two fiancees.

Neither one of them lived past 3 days!

“Just how long would she live?”

Luo Zheng squinted his eyes.

He promised to help out his little cousin and teach Gu Shishi a lesson, but if she only has a few days left to live, then why should he bother?

Wasn’t this a waste of his time?

Thinking about that, Luo Zheng’s chest felt nauseated again.

Sh*t! And his wrist hurt too!

“What about how much longer to live?” Zhao Xian blinked.

Luo Zheng was so irritated that he couldn’t even bear looking at Zhao Xian.

“You mind your own business! I need to go back to work. You go home by yourself!” He took off right after he said that.

Zhao Xian stomped her feet angrily.

When Gu Shishi arrived home, it wasn’t even 8 PM yet, and it was already pitch black inside the mansion.

All the servants had already returned to their own rooms. Huo Sishen needed absolute silence and darkness at night in order to sleep.

Right now, she was the only one walking around, and it was a little creepy.

With a nightlight in the hallway, the dim light did not make her feel any better but worse. She quickened her steps.

She was afraid of the dark.

She even needed to have some distance light on when she went to bed at night.

When she was a kid, her master loved telling her all sorts of stories about ghosts and demons, and now she was always scared.

Especially when she was alone at night.

She never left the house after 9 PM, not even to go out and have fun in the city.

Even though it was only 8 PM, this was a standalone mansion with nothing else around it.

From the first to the second floor, it was so empty that all that could be heard was her own footsteps. The weak lights dragged her shadow out….

When his breath hit Gu Shishi on her face, she couldn’t help but paused for a second.

She was just about to frown when she caught sight of the painting that he had thrusted in front of her.

What a painting of a fiery peony!

The bright red color was intense, dazzling, and every petal was eye catching!

Even though it was a painting with watercolor, it has a hint of Chinese ink painting’s majesty within it.

She couldn’t help but give the fool in front of her another look.

She wasn’t sure why he skipped over Zhao Xian to ask her; nor did she know why the fool had to corner her for that…

And he was so close… and breathed on her…

But, she acknowledged his painting nonetheless.

As a paying instructor of the art studio, Gu Shishi would dish out praises when they were called for.

Just in case she didn’t get her point across verbally, she even nodded to emphasize her point.

“Your skill level exceeded that of Zhao Xian, your instructor. Your choice of colors are bold and the artistic conception is quite good as well.”

She even used a comparison to show how much she acknowledge his ability.

“What did you just say?”

Her words, however, almost made Zhao Xian spit out blood.

Was she insulting her right in front of her own boyfriend and all the students and instructors of the art studio?!

Gu Shishi gave her an oops-I-accidentally-slipped-and-told-the-truth look, which made Zhao Xian even more livid.

She was just about to argue with her but the very next minute, her face was shocked pale by Luo Zheng’s laugh.

Luo Zheng was very pleased by Gu Shishi’s remark and wasn’t concerned about Zhao Xian’s feeling at all.

“Miss Gu, you’ve got good eyes.”

He had no respect for this little art studio at all!

They were but a bunch of half-assed, mass trained technicians.

He himself, on the other hand, had been learning from a master-level artist since he was a child.

“You are exactly right; my painting skill is superior.”

“Then, Miss Gu. Anything else you would like to point out about my painting?”

Luo Zheng acted like nobody else was there and looked deeply at Gu Shishi.

His tone rose up toward the end, sounding very flirty.

Zhao Xian’s entire body was shaking.

She was his girlfriend!

Was he hitting on another woman right in front of her? And using the exact same trick no less?!

How many women had he courted using the exact same trick?!

Even though she knew his intention behind hitting on Gu Shishi, she was still livid.

She had to grip her fingers to not say anything.

But she stared at Gu Shishi lethally.

Gu Shishi, on the other hand, took another look at the painting.

There was no emotions or shyness in her look. In fact, really repulsed, she took a small step backward.

“I wouldn’t say opinion.”

Luo Zheng was offended by her taking a step backward.

But what she said next made his face drop even more!

“Your foundations are still lacking. So, as much as you an artistic conception, your paintbrush wasn’t able to fully express that. There is still room for improvement. But no worries, it’s still pretty when you hang it up. Just don’t look too closely.”

As she was talking, Gu Shishi gestured at a farther wall inside the art studio.

“Frame it, and hang it up on the wall.”

A shock flashed past Luo Zheng’s eyes which was quickly replaced with anger.

With a loud “BANG!”, his watch smacked the corner of the table.

A very disruptive sound was made.

When he looked over at the wall she was pointing at, his face darkened even more.

Gu Shishi was pointing at the wall that was farthest away from them, at least 6-7 meters away.

Was she suggesting that his painting was so bad it shouldn’t even be looked at?

Huang Zhong, his painting master, said the exact same thing about him back in the days.

At the time, he had been infuriated by his words and ripped the painting up on the spot!

He never went back to his lessons with Huang Zhong again!

Toward the afternoon, the handsome man finally slowly woke up from his deep sleep inside the room with no light.

After his dark eyes were opened, there was a fleeting moment of peacefulness and relaxation. But quickly, it was replaced by cold light, “Why are you still here?”

The cold look, sharp like blades, struck straight as the unwanted visitor who was sitting there as though fossilized – Qin Ruhai in his white lab coat.

Qin Ruhai acted as though he didn’t see that look at all; he walked up to him filled with excitement. “Da ge, you were asleep for 1 hour and 45 minutes! This was the longest time you were able to nap!”

(T/N: Da – big. Ge – brother. Older or oldest brother.)

Siyi, standing to one side, noticed the displeasure from his boss.

“Young Master, I failed to stop Dr. Qin from walking in here, and once we saw that you were asleep, we dared not move again.”

Qin Ruhai nodded in agreement, “You suffer from neurasthenia. When you are sleeping lightly, you are easily woken up by any noises or lights.”

And just like that, Qin Ruhai explained his presence.

“But you fell asleep miraculously earlier, and didn’t wake up to the noises when we came in.”

Flipping through Huo Sishen’s medical record, Qin Ruhai was amazed.

“I must further study the sudden sleep incident that occurred today. What happened before you fell asleep? Did you take any pills? Can you still recall what you felt before it happened?”

Huo Sishen’s quiet, dark eyes slowly fell on Qin Ruhai.

His handsome brows furrowed.

Earlier… the girl was talking to him. She seemed too frightened to approach him but she carried on chattering nonstop.

Was he simply too tired?

Perhaps, his body has reached its limit finally

His hands that were resting next to his abdomen rolled into fists.

With the slight movement of his arms, the suit that was laying on top of him slipped off of him.

Huo Sishen looked closer and his groggy eyes saw the suit that was now only half-covering his body.

Was she the one who placed it on his before she left?

His thin lips were shut tightly; his brows furrowed, and he stood up.

“I don’t know, Qin Ruhai. You are the doctor, not me.”

This was the second time he wanted to smack his patient’s head.

What was he to do?

Huo Sishen walked past the two people standing in front of him with a cold and rock-hard look; his slender body stopped in front of the window.

Inside the darkness, he pulled over a sliver of the curtain and dim light poured into the room.

It was so bright outside it made him squinted.

His memory became very clear after his short rest.

His slightly cold dark eyes looked like a bottomless body of water, a thick sense of sarcasm flashed through them.

No actions could cover up that fear in those eyes!

He saw right through them!

“Siyi, have the butler make the arrangement.”

He tossed the suit in his hand directly onto the floor.

“Let her know that there’s a price to pay if she wanted to stay.”

Stupid lies, fake stubbornness, let’s see how long she could keep that up.

He had given her choices, but she chose not to take them!

Now he wanted to see how much she could take!

[Sleeping Aid: Get close to the male lead when he wants to fall asleep, stay within 10 cm of him for 10 seconds. Your body’s rose scent will help him fall asleep.]

[Skill used successfully! Remaining use for the day: 0]

Gu Shishi couldn’t believe what had just happened. She looked down on the man who was now sound asleep, his long, slender fingers were still on top of her wrist.

She held her breath and, tugging gently, struggled free from his now relaxed grip instantly.

Before she came, the boss already wanted to go to sleep?

The one who just walked out was his doctor.

Was the boss so grumpy because he couldn’t sleep even when he wanted to?

He was suffering from insomnia, but the system was able to cure him?

[Huo Sishen’s fondness level increased! Male lead’s doting reached LV1!]

Pleasantly surprised, Gu Shishi blinked her limpid eyes.

What an amazing skill!

This has also confirmed what she had in mind – getting the boss’s fondness could, indeed, increase his doting level!

To think that she was worried about how to level up, now she was half way there already!

Immediately, she looked at Huo Sishen happily.

But quickly, she noticed that all he had on was a white shirt and her curved mouth paused.

She reached out her hand to feel the A/C in front of the couch.

The boss would get sick sleeping like this.

He didn’t live very long in the novel. Was it because of his health?

Gu Shishi’s small, pink face was troubled.

Quickly, she bent over and placed the suit in her hand gently over Huo Sishen.

Boss, you must live till 100!

She would need him to stay alive!

Gu Shishi walked out of the room on her tipped toes after she had placed the suit on him.

As soon as she walked outside, she saw the male doctor still pacing back and forth in front of the room.

He had on a lab coat, tall, sharp brows and starry eyes, a pair of golden, wire-framed spectacles, and an undeniable smell of disinfectants.

Seeing her coming out, he quickly walked over and was about to walk back into the room.

Gu Shishi paused quickly and said, “Eh, wait, he’s asleep.”

“Huh?” Being interrupted, Qin Ruhai turned around and looked at the fair Gu Shishi.

His manly features twitched.

What a waste for a beauty like her.

But what she just said was hilarious.

“Pretty girl, beasts are not known to fall asleep when there are foreign animals in their territory.”

Let alone one that was suffering from chronic insomnia.

Qin Ruhai pushed his spectacles in utmost certainty.

Huo Sishen probably just pretended to be asleep to get rid of his little fiancée was all.

Having said that, he turned around and walked back inside the room. Following closely behind him was Siyi.

They both understood clearly both Huo Sishen’s temper and his health condition.

If he could fall asleep so easily, Qin Ruhai wouldn’t be here right now.

“Ugh….” Gu Shishi pursed her lips. She reached out but wasn’t fast enough to stop them.

She recalled the eyes as thought a severe storm was about to land and her neck shrank in fear.

They wanted to wake up an insomniac? Scary!

And she had no more Sleeping Aid left for the day!

She fled the scene as fast as she could, went back to her own room, and closed the door before she let out a sigh of relief.

She didn’t want to anger him to a point that he’d throw her out. That would be very bad.

Sitting down, she looked at her blood bar that continued to count down.

[Life Remaining: 63 hours 39 minutes and 2 seconds.]

Even now, she still has less than 3 days of life remaining!

“From this point on, I am going to need the acknowledgement of others as well, maybe I can…. Work on Siyi?” muttered Gu Shishi to herself as she blinked her limpid eyes and pursed her lips.

Gu Shishi picked up the brush and quickly drew a stroke on the drawing paper.

Luo Zheng saw that and was so mad that he busted out laughing, “What was that?!”

“For this lesson, you need to do that 300 times. Here, like this.” Gu Shishi stopped after that one stroke.

“You’ve got to be kidding me. I asked you to draw peonies…”

Gu Shishi looked at him in surprise and raised her brows, “Who’s the instructor here? You or me?”

Luo Zheng was so angry that his face was crooked.

“Did I pay to listen to your bullshit?”

“As a matter of fact, yes. If you want to cancel the lesson, you can talk to our store manager.”

Luo Zheng’s eyes widened.

“You want to file a complaint? That’s fine too. We can assign a different instructor for you.”

Luo Zheng was so angry that he didn’t even know what to say. He couldn’t even remember the last time he was so angry. He was so mad he wanted to cuss her out.

“You better get started. We don’t refund for time spent.”

Luo Zheng almost passed out from being so angry.

After three hundred lifts, it was three hundred hooks. Then, it was a whole lesson of observing flowers, and flowers from…. Baidu no less.

He was about to snap when it was time for Gu Shishi to go home.

“See you tomorrow.If you are not going to be here tomorrow, don’t forget to keep up with your practice at home. Otherwise, all your hard work today would go to waste.”

Luo Zheng thought he was going to go insane!

Happily, Gu Shishi picked up her purse and left with Ling Xiaomei.

After they have stepped out of the art student, Ling Xiaomei gave her a very respectful look.

“Shishi, you are so brave. I was scared shitless. Why wouldn’t you draw for him anyway?”

Gu Shishi shrugged. Even if she had drawn him peonies, he wouldn’t be able to learn anything from it. Besides, why would she want to?

She turned around and saw Wu Zhenhao still following them. He was so persistent and hadn’t given up on “courting” her yet.

This man came out of nowhere. She searched through the original owner’s memory repeatedly and there was no mention of this man at all. Plus, ever since he arrived in the afternoon, Zhao Xian had a very curious look on her, as though she was waiting for her to embarrass herself.

In addition, Zhao Xian seemed to be quite familiar with Luo Zheng, and Luo Zheng knew her name was Gu Shishi. Either way you look at it, they were up to no good.

Her guts told her that he might have something to do with Wu Zhenhao’s courting.

Long story short, she couldn’t be bothered to draw for someone who was there to pick on her.

“Hehe, did you see how angry he got?” Ling Xiaomei giggled. “Even his paintbrush was shaking at the end.”

“Yup, his foundation was very lacking and he wasn’t holding the brush probably. His muscles were probably sore,” said Gu Shishi from personal experience.

Lo and behold, the angry Luo Zheng just happened to walk passed them, “…..”

Sh*t! His wrist started to hurt all of a sudden!

“Miss Gu, let me give you a ride home.” Wu Zhenhao was in a different room earlier and had no idea what took place inside the classroom. Now that they were out, he thought Luo Zheng was upset because he had failed in his assignment. He immediately ran after Gu Shishi. He couldn’t ruin this gig and make his employer unhappy.

“My car is parked in the garage downstairs. Wait for me here.” Wu Zhenhao immediately pressed a button on his key. With a “beep”, the front lights of a new model of BMW convertible lit up.

Spending the Villain’s Money to Extend My Life. / Трачу деньги злодея, чтобы продлить свою жизнь.

Год выпуска: 2019

Количество глав: 144

Выпуск: завершён

Гу Шиши, мастер традиционной китайской живописи, превратилась в пушечное мясо в романе-клише.

Женский вспомогательный персонаж пушечного мяса был заменен при рождении. Едва она провела несколько дней со своими биологическими родителями, как те же самые родители бросили ее в логово волка. Ее родители, не имея сердца, не захотели отправить свою поддельную дочь с болезнью сердца, жить тяжелой жизнью, а заставили настоящую дочь стать ее заменой. Гу Шиши была отослана, чтобы выйти замуж за большого злодея- по слухам злого и жестокого первого молодого мастера Хо.

К счастью, она случайно обнаружила путь к изменению своей судьбы!

— Чем больше подарков она получит от большого злодея, тем дольше сможет прожить и тем больше читов она получит!

(Система Богатая Домохозяйка, Инициировано!)

(Оставшаяся жизнь: 8 минут и 56 секунд)

(Перезарядите, чтобы продлить свою жизнь.)

(Способ подзарядки: получить деньги или ценные вещи от богатого мужа.)

(Перезарядка Прошла Успешно!)

Gu Shishi was shocked that she found Zhao Xian’s name in the detail list of fondness.

Has she inadvertently conquered a villain?

Was she that good?

What she didn’t know was that Luo Zheng was all sorts of rude to Zhao Xian today, so when she saw Gu Shishi gave him a hard time and made him do the foundation exercises, she felt oddly redeemed.

Even though Zhao Xian still disliked Gu Shishi and wanted to see bad things happen to her, she couldn’t help but grew a little fond of her.

“Almost to LV2 and my maximum life can go up again. I sure hope it’s 10 days!!”

Gu Shishi started a whole new set of calculations.

Before long, she became more and more confused. @_@

The numbers were dry and boring as usual… and they were her Achilles tendon…

She started getting a headache just from thinking about it.

When Siyi and Qin Ruhai came back in from outside the mansion and was about to give Huo Sishen another shot of sedatives to help him sleep, they immediately saw the two people sleeping on the couch.

Huo Sishen didn’t just fall asleep, his head was on Gu Shishi’s shoulder!

Gu Shishi groaned, as though she felt the weight on her and wasn’t happy about it; then she quickly, as if to retaliate, rested her head on his.

And now, her little face was resting on top of Huo Sishen’s forehead.

From afar, the two were leaning against each other, sound asleep.

“Siyi, smack me, look…. OUCH!”

Qin Ruhai jumped around rubbing his shoulder where Siyi had punched him.

But, he immediately threw his hand over his mouth. And he was dragged out by Siyi…

The two of them didn’t shudder until they walked out of the mansion to the cobbled stone path where they could hear the cicadas around them.

They exchanged a look with each other and finally their souls had returned to their bodies.

“The medications finally worked?”

This time Siyi did not respond, but one could tell from his look that he disagreed with Qin Ruhai.

It’s Miss Gu again.

She was there every time he fell asleep.

But he wasn’t going to say that out loud.

Besides, that’s just his baseless speculation, why be rude to the doctor by telling him his crazy thought.

He has been treating him for years, but he only recovered after the girl has arrived.

That’s what you’d call face slapping.

He gave Qin Ruhai a sympathetic look and decided to keep his opinion to himself.

“Must have worked. I tried giving him some lavender and dandelion fragrance oil… and also tweaked his prescription a little bit….” Qin Ruhai continued to analyze the situation.

The sympathetic look from Siyi deepened.

The next morning.

Gu Shishi woke up feeling sore all over. Of course, she slept all night on the couch.

Except when she woke up, she is the only one on the couch.

She wiped away her drool from the corner of her mouth and stretched before she accepted the fact that she had been sleeping for over 10 hours.

After she finished her boxed dinner at the shop, she got home at around 8 PM.

She looked at her cellphone and it was 6 AM. At least, she woke up 2 hours earlier than usual.

A message came in from Wechat.

When she saw the notification, she couldn’t even finish yawning anymore.

[Huo Sishen has sent you a red packet.]

Gu Shishi jumped up into the air as she let out a screeching sound.

The two brothers exchanged a look before they finally processed a very shocking truth.

Boss Huo purposefully waited till the chef was gone before he sent Butler Lin to fetch the stock, bypassing even Siyi.

And the stock was the same as the one that Siyi had tested, made by Miss Gu.

Meaning, their boss stealthily drank the soup made by Miss Gu.

The two brothers looked at each other and their mouths dropped open.

“That means, Miss Gu asked you instead of the boss to try her soup and the boss saw it and was unhappy about it,” Sier concluded.

“Which was why he sent someone to fetch it quietly after you and Miss Gu had departed.”

Siyi rolled his eyes, “Boy, oh, boy. Our boss… is such a tsundere…”

Sier patted him on his shoulder. “Good luck, bro.”

“Miss Gu seems pretty nice to you. Teheehee.” Sier laughed.

Inside the study at the same time.

Huo Sishen’s cold eyes landed on the bowl of soup.

The glow from the computer screen made his handsome face seem warmer than usual, but it also made the darkness and coldness in his eyes stand out even more.

After a long while, he finally picked up a spoon and scooped out a spoonful of thick and aromatic soup.

And placed it in his mouth.

He pursed his lips. His eyes brightened for a bit before the light quickly died down again.

This soup… tasted like the ones made by the aunty who had taken care of him when he was a child.

Without formal culinary training and used to normal home cooking, even the Western style mushroom soup that she made has a slight touch of the taste of Chinese broth in it.

But… not bad to the taste.

It even has a slight warmth to it that slipped into his mouth and rolled into his stomach. All of his limbs and down to every hair was washed over by a sense of comfort…

Nothing professional about it, but filled with warmth.

But she gave her first bowl to Siyi.

Huo Sishen squinted.

His grip on the spoon tightened.

To think that she had been sending him red packets everyday and shamelessly asked him to “send her daily gifts and red packets as her husband”… and then?

That woman! That brainless woman!

Why did she ask Siyi to try her cooking instead of him?

Did Siyi and him like the same thing?

Huo Sishen tossed down the spoon heavily.

Disgruntledness was written all over his face.

He stood up, then stopped.

He looked at the bowl of soup with displeasure. But then, he downed the entire bowl of soup in two to three gulps!

[Ding! Fondness from Huo Sishen increased!]

[Ding! Fondness form Huo Sishen decreased!]

Gu Shishi noticed that her system message mailbox had exploded when she woke up the next morning.

There were rows of rows of notifications.

She almost thought the system had glitched.

She pulled up the system log.

At around midnight last night, the boss’s fondness toward her went up 1%, then down 2%, then up 3%, then down 1%. back and forth for dozens of times at the very minimum.

“What was going on?”

The boss… what was he doing in the middle of the night?

Gu Shishi laid her palm over her forehead and couldn’t figure it out.

Did she do anything yesterday that would make him think about her in the middle of the night?

“Did he hang the ‘Red Mountains’ up in his room and that he was appreciating it last night?”

That idea merely flashed through her mind before she shook her head and dismissed it.

That didn’t make sense. If he was looking at her painting, wouldn’t his fondness increase steadily instead? It wouldn’t explain how it went up and down and up and down.

Gu Shishi had a very confused look. Before she had the system, she felt that being genuine to others was sufficient.

She never knew how complicated people could be, especially the boss that she needed to take down!

Want to read ahead? A listing of available advance parts:

“Young Master, Miss Gu asked me to give this to you earlier.”

Qin Ruhai was just booted out of the room when someone knocked on the door.

It was none other than Siyi.

He didn’t care to see what Huo Sishen looked like right now, so he kept his head lowered as he handed over a rolled-up drawing paper.

Huo Sishen had been sick for three days. Siyi had been with him for years and knew that it’d be a very bad idea to irritate him right now.

But, Gu Shishi had given him her work this morning, so he must put it in Huo Sishen’s hand today.

This had, somehow, given Siyi an idea that he never had before.

Perhaps Miss Gu… would be able to save his boss. Or at least resolve his psychological issues!

“Miss Gu had gone to work. She said to give you her present for you. She also said that I can take it back to her if you don’t like it.”

He forced himself to ignore the cold look that Huo Sishen was given him.

That day, Miss Guhad fallen directly into the boss’s arms.

The boss didn’t try to move out of her way, nor pushed her away… in fact, he sat next to her bed after she had lost consciousness and waited for Qin Ruhai to diagnose her and administer her IV fluid before he added her on Wechat with his dark face….

Recalling the details of that day seemed unreal.

As he was thinking that, he forced himself to overlook the gloomy atmosphere and the eerie silence of the room and slowly unrolled the painting.

He was only halfway through what he was doing when he was interrupted by a lonesome, coarse, and authoritative voice.

Siyi paused for a second.

After a slight pause, he quickly placed the painting on the coffee table and retreated with his back bowed.

Miss Gu, I have done all that I could!

Gu Shishi, who was blessed with Siyi’s thoughts, just arrived at the art studio and was looking at the stranger in front of her. She was dumbfounded.

The large bundle of flowers in his hand baffled her even more.

She turned and tried to walk around him, but he moved his body and blocked her.

“My name is Wu Zhenhao. I’m an owner of a company nearby. I ran into you accidentally when I went to lunch a while ago and fell for you immediately. I just couldn’t help myself.”

He had on a full suit and his hair was nicely styled with hair gel.

He directly professed his fondness for her and, at the same time, mentioned the fact that he was an elite with his own company.

Wu Zhenhao’s eyes beamed with the light of confidence.

There was even a hint of satisfaction on his face!

That’s right, satisfaction.

This gig that he’s got was simple and high paying.

He just had to pretend to be an elite and tricked this Gu Shishi to go on a date with him.

Then, all there was left to do was to take some intimate pictures of them together and give them to his employer.

If the quality of the pictures were good, he’d pay him even more.

Now that he has met her in person – she was a pretty quality girl as well!

She definitely stood out among the girls in the art studio.

She had on a silk spinned little white dress with grass green lining. It was light but also showed the curves of her bust nicely. The poofy skirt covered just above her knees and showed off perfectly her white and shapely calves.

Around her waist, there was a light green belt and made her waist seemed even more slender than it was and left one a lot of room for imagination…

He looked again at her white and smooth face. It was a hot day, but her face was still flawless. It was white and smooth like snow and looked so pinchable. One look at her was enough to make him feel very excited and high spirited.

The Bullied Youth’s Payback Lifestyle

Huo Sishen released his hold on the girl..

He closed his eyes slowly, and his nose was filled with the unique rose scent from the girl.

The scent was not too concentrated and not too strong. One would have to be very, very close to her in order to smell it.

And every time, it was able to relax his nerves and alleviate his throbbing brain.

Ever since that day, he had people looked for rose fragrance oil all over and had collected over 100 different kinds.

But, he tested them all out, and none of them could help him fall asleep.

The fragrance on her was very unique…. But he was not able to find anything similar.

As Huo Sishen was thinking, he couldn’t help but frown.

And yet, as he was being enveloped by this elegant and sweet rose smell, his ability to think began to deteriorate.

He hadn’t felt sleepy in days and his splitting headache, all started to soften as soon as she was nearby…

Her scent worked better than any type of medicine?

As he was relaxed, he started thinking about her painting where maple leaves had turned the mountain red.

That was a gift from her to him.

When was the last time he received a gift? He couldn’t even recall.

Even since he had moved into the little cabin next to the Huo’s main residence when he was a child, nobody from his family ever brought up his birthday again.

As an adult, over the holidays, he’d send the staff from the mansion away and have them go home while he stayed and observe the sunrise and sunset by himself.

Gifts, red pockets…. He had already forgotten what it was like when he received them.

Besides, he didn’t need any of those things!

Huo Sishen pursed his lips and tightened his hands into balls.

Before he slipped off into a deep sleep, he struggled to open his eyes and take one more look at the girl sitting next to him.

Her little face that looked like a small flower bud, her limpid eyes stared intently at him without blinking… she had overlapped with that tender little girl riding on the boat in her painting…

The corners of Huo Sishen’s mouth curved upward.

Perhaps, he hadn’t slept for too long, which was why he started to hallucinate.

Earlier that day, in the afternoon, he had been looking at the painting. He felt that maple leaves waving back and forth with the wind. He could also hear the rustling sound coming from all over the mountain. And he could also hear the lapping of the water, along with the crisp laughter of the little girl and the chirping of the crane.

The breeze came at him from straight ahead. He looked down and thought he saw himself rowing the boat amidst the river.

Her painting skill was quite acceptable.

Thinking of that, Huo Sishen closed his eyes again.

The rose fragrance filled his nose and seemed to be mixed with the fresh soil smell in the mountain. The couch felt like the little boat and rocked back and forth slightly in the evening…

[Sleep Assistance Activated Successfully!]

Gu Shishi didn’t know what she should make out of the system’s indicator.

She didn’t need the system to remind her. All she needed to do was to look at the boss’s groggy eyes earlier plus his deep and steady breathing now to know that he had fallen asleep.

Plus, before the boss fell asleep, the oh-my-god-i-am-so-tired-I-am-going-to-fall-asleep-right-now look was written all over his face. But, for some reason, he still struggled to open his eyes and look at her through his tired and squinted eyes…. Oh, the boss was quite cute before he fell asleep!

Gu Shishi covered her mouth and giggled.

She didn’t expect the mean boss to be as childish as a big kid.

He was just like her when she stayed up late playing on her cellphone. She would be so tired that she could barely keep her eyes open. In the end, she could only play “Mr. Love: Queen’s Choice” for a little while longer through her squinted eyes.

But first, he wanted to have some fun.

As he was thinking that, Wu Zhenhao’s smile thickened around his mouth.

He has the reputation of a player to keep!

He would be able to conquer this girl in one week max!

“Miss Gu, I know this was very abrupt, but when you were out the last few days, it really made me realize how important you are to me.”

As he talked, he lifted his hand and intentionally twirled the diamond watch on his hand.

He understood how girls her age were very materialistic and had spent a lot of time studying how wealthy men dressed and behaved.

And now, he was truly a wealthy man from top to bottom.

The kind that all girls would want to be with!

Wu Zhenhao’s little white face exuded a casually attractive aura.

“I’d like to go out with you…”

He handed over the large bundle of flower that was actually heavy for a normal girl.

A shocking temptation along with genuine words!

But Wu Zhenhao’s confident look was stunned silent by a earth-shattering sneeze.

“ACHOO! AHHH CCHOOOO!”

With a groan, tears and snorts flew out of Gu Shishi, and she covered her nose painfully.

Before long, her eyes were completely teared up.

This body was allergic to flowers.

It was exactly the same as how she was before.

Whenever she wanted to observe and draw the nature and got close to a sea of flowers, she’d sneeze nonstop.

And now, the bundle of flowers in front of her was making her sneeze.

She covered her nose and immediately squeezed past him.

“Pardon me. Excuse me. Thank you! ACHOO!”

She practically ran away at light speed!

There was no way she was going to accept the bundle of flowers.

With the flowers still in his hands, Wu Zhenhao’s smile froze on his face.

But he reacted quickly and blocked her way again.

This time he fished out a handkerchief from the pocket of his suit.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t know the flowers would have that effect on you. I will throw it away right away!”

The wealthy don’t use tissues.

Wu Zhenhao was so proud of how thorough his preparation was.

He handed her his handkerchief, turned, took a few large steps away and forcefully tossed away the pricey bundle of flowers.

He was able to play the role and showed the girl how much he cared at the same time.

He turned around, smiling.

And, Gu Shishi was nowhere to be seen.

The corners of Wu Zhenhao’s mouth twitched.

Where did she go?

What was wrong with that woman?

All the girls started to chattered in the classroom.

“Shihi, you are back? How are you feeling?”

“Who was that outside? He had been waiting for you for days

“And he brought with him a different bundle of flowers every day!”

Wu Zhenhao looked better all over again.

Even though he knew she would be out for three days, he still came all three days to wait for her with an eager look on him.

What woman didn’t like romance?

But quickly, a very calm statement completely wiped away all of his triumph.

“I don’t know him. I am already engaged.”

Gu Shishi even sounded very troubled.

“Hmm. I’ll go clarify it with him right now.”

Wu Zhenhao’s brows twitched.

It was precisely because she was engaged that his employer wants proof that she was being unfaithful. This was the only reason he was being paid so much.

Wu Zhenhao weighed his options quickly. With persistent genuineness, he walked inside the classroom.

“Miss Gu, please give me another chance! I will prove to you that I am as good as any other men. My love for you is no less than anyone else’s.”

As he was speaking, he pulled out a gold-colored VVIP bank card.

“With the exception of real estate and my company, all my assets are in this account.”

“As long as you would be my girlfriend, I will give you the pin number right now.”

Many people inside the classroom gasped audibly.

Her maximum life amount had been doubled!

She had no recharge the night before so her health bar was only less than half filled right now.

Current life balance: 29 days and 13 hours.

Gu Shishi looked at it for a while and nodded with satisfaction.

“True. Can’t let it go to my head.

“Baobao is just someone who can live up to two months…”

She must be the most pitiful prominent wife in the world.

The boss’s fondness for her had just reached LV 6. There was, indeed, still had a very long journey in front of her!

Getting to LV7 would require a lot more fondness than before!

She reached the conclusion seriously.

The system jumped into actions again.

[New main mission announcement for Marriage before Love!]

[Each marriage needs to be nurturing in its own specific way.]

[He lacks love when he was a child and grew up alone and faced everything alone. You need to let him feel your love for him and your need for him to be by your side. That is the only way that he will be able to leave the demons in his mind behind.]

[Mission requirement: Show your dependence for him in front of 10 people (0/10). Call him hubby (0/10).]

[Reward: Exchange for pain relief pill at the marketplace. (For menstrual pain relief.)]

This doggone system really took advantage of every possible opportunity!

Didn’t she deserve a break from time to time?

That being said – this pain relief pill sounded pretty good.

She flipped to the marketplace and, sure enough, saw the pills she was told.

[Pain Relief Pills: Take one tablet each time when you are experiencing cramps. Effective for 24 hours. Can be used up to 7 consecutive days.]

[Price for each pill: 24 hours of life.]

[Host, this medicine has no side effect and you can keep on trying to get pregnant and can continue to use it during your pregnancy.]

Gu Shishi took a deep breath and uncontrollably thought about last night again.

She straight up pressed the pillow against her face.

This assignment required her to be coquettish in pubic?

Acting like she depended on him meant to be coquettish, right?*

Gu Shishi blushed for a brief second.

As she was feeling embarrassed, the room door was opened from the outside.

Gu Shishi, who was still sitting on the bed, was stunned for a little bit then she frantically grabbed the blanket and covered up her chest with it!

The magnetic voice came from the entrance.

She saw a pair of long legs.

Quickly, Gu Shishi saw what was referred to as a 9-head body*, or it’s all legs under the waist.

Huo Sishen had on a black shirt today and there were silver threads on his collar and cuffs. His shirt was tucked into his pair of skinny jeans of the same color and he had on a pair of boots.

He was carrying a tray with him with two silver plate and a cup on top of it.

They looked like spaghetti…. Coffee.

And there seemed to have tissues there as well.

Gu Shishi jumped onto the floor, almost bringing the blanket with her.

Blushing, she ran straight into the bathroom.

“I, I am going to wash up!”

The bathroom door was slammed shut.

Huo Sishen’s thin lips lifted up some as he saw her running away faster than a rabbit.

When she came back out all washed up, she had changed into a long, pink Burberry gown. Her little face was a delicate red.

She noticed that her makeup from the night before was gone after she had gone inside of the bathroom.

The boss was probably the one who did that after she had fallen asleep during the second half of the night.

She was still dilly-dallying in a corner when Huo Sishen’s voice reached her.

Gu Shishi clenched her teeth.

The system had no boundary for its shamefulness.

As such, she couldn’t have it either.

What’s shame? She would get over it after once or twice!

Her shame for the main missions was already long gone.

If she kept on holding back, it would just make future missions that much more difficult!!

No! She must tough up!

All she needed to do was to re-enact scenes from Korean drama was all!

They had already OOXX, what was the big deal with that then?

Gu Shishi smiled.

“Haven’t they figured it out from their last banquet yet? We are not on the same level when it comes to dealing damages. Was it really that much fun trying to smash eggs against rocks?”

The corners of Chen Kexin’s eyes twitched. Um… that’s certainly some very shameless truth! Why did it sound like all of her girlfriends were brainless and pitiful all of a sudden? That Gu Shishi wasn’t the one who needed a heads up?

“Thanks for letting me know, MeowMeow.” Gu Shishi patted her on her shoulder. “But I am still going to go. If I don’t get an invitation beforehand, please do forward one to me

Sisters’ gathering? Sounds like a perfect opportunity to earn more fondness!

Gu Shishi couldn’t contain herself. “Do you have gatherings like this all the time? No matter the scale, can you please let me know?”

Her eyes were beaming with a I-am-looking-forward-to-it-I-really-want-to-go look.

Chen Kexin almost bit her own tongue accidentally. Did she stutter earlier when she told her? Did she not hear that part that they were trying to set her up? Why was it that she still wanted to go so badly? As high as her fighting power was, was it really that enjoyable to be picked on all the time?

Chen Kexin was stunned silent.

“This time there will be no elders there. They might take things too far.” Chen Kexin suspected that she wasn’t clear enough earlier, so she added through gritted teeth. “If, if that happens… I might not be able to help you.”

Gu Shishi acknowledged her and said, “That’s alright. I understand. You want to be the spy and help me behind their back. Don’t worry. I won’t reveal you.”

Gu Shishi rummaged through her purse and pulled out the bottle of toner that she had exchanged for 24 hours of her life.

“This will help with your oily skin. Give it a try”

Chen Kexin covered up her face with her hands.

“Don’t be shy. Just don’t forget to thank me if this works.”

8 PM that night.

Huo Sishen got home after a long day of work.

Before Siyi, who was going to open the door for him, hadn’t even had a chance to get out of the passenger seat, Huo Sishen had already opened up the door himself and jumped out of the car.

He unbuttoned his suit jacket, loosened up his tie, and walked briskly inside of the mansion. He walked so fast that his long and slender legs stirred up a breeze where he travelled.

Even the servants bowing and waiting on him were surprised by that.

He even stepped inside of the living room before they could bring the hand sanitizer to him.

His piercing, eagle-sharp black eyes immediately scanned in the direction of the dining room and the kitchen.

Yet when he reached the bottom of the stairs, he could see clearly that there was nobody in there.

Even the dinner table was spotless with nothing on it.

Nevermind about Gu Shishi, not even Gu Shishi’s shadow could be seen!

Had she forgotten that she was supposed to be cooking for him today?

Huo Sishen’s handsome brows furrowed all of a sudden.

His good mood, which had lasted all day long, was now like a big balloon that now has a big hole in it and air was gushing out of it.

Siyi rushed behind him and was finally able to carry out the disinfecting procedures before catching up with Huo Sishen.

Yet, as soon as he stood still, he shuddered.

A sense of chilliness filled the living room.

Standing still, Huo Sishen turned and gave him a cold look.

“Bring me the Japan proposal tonight. We are not lowering our prices to the Europeans. They can scram if they don’t like it! As for Saipan, have Sier go take care of it. Anyone else who wants to stir up trouble will be sent over to Africa!!”

Siyi felt a shiver down his spine and said quickly, “Okay.”

Didn’t the boss just say he would give the other side some extra time and see what they were trying to pull during the meeting that afternoon?

“Boss, let me go see if dinner is ready downstairs. Do you want to have dinner in the dining room or…”

“There’s no need.” Huo Sishen almost had to force those words out coldly through gritted teeth. He came home at 8 PM, and the dining room was still empty. She hadn’t prepared anything. His lips pressed together into a straight line.

Want to read ahead? A listing of available advance parts:

“Wait. Let me guess. So, you were saying bad things about me in your chat room? And plotting against me?” Gu Shishi speculated. She zipped up her bag again.

Chen Kexin didn’t know what to say. “No, I didn’t…. really didn’t…”

But under Gu Shishi’s look of disbelief, she finally pulled off her mask awkwardly.

“Alright, I’ll admit that I was a part of it at the beginning. But I had stopped ever since the banquet.”

She raised her right hand. “I swear. Please… the fan.”

Gu Shishi chuckled and handed the gift box over to her.

Chen Kexin quickly took it over cautiously and opened it up solemnly. She only planned on taking a quick look at it, but after just one look, she gasped.

The streaming channel and the photos on the cellphone didn’t remotely measure up to the effect of seeing the items with one’s eyes.

Beautiful. A massive scene of lotuses. A quiet and elegant sort of beauty. Just one look and all of her heat and frustration dissipated.

As she took a closer look, the lines of the leaves were clear and their edges curled up naturally. The lights and shadows met each other perfectly, and she couldn’t find any faults with them!

The little dragonfly that stopped on top of a lotus was even more delicate and ingenious than it looked from the stream.

It looked like it was about to flutter its wing and fly away. Its motion was suggested within its stillness and the composition was superb!

The poem “On the Love of Lotus” was written on the flip side of the fan in delicate, lady-like, and smooth script. It was beautiful and out of this world. It perfectly conveyed the message of “should be appreciated from a distance but not touched”!

Chen Kexin swallowed hard. She started to get an idea of why her grandmother appreciated Gu Shishi’s work so much. She herself would also very much like to have work like these adorning her room.

She felt that the air had begun to cool around her just from looking at them.

All the boisterousness and background music in the shopping mall started to slow around her….

She couldn’t take her eyes off of the fan. She reached out her right hand and touched one of them, as though she could feel the leaves with her hand.

She paused the moment she touched the fan. The fan ribs were smooth but the handle and the tip of the handle had clouds carved on them. It was obvious that the clouds were carved by machines. The lines were smooth and acceptable, but it has no soul.

Chen Kexin sighed regretfully.

The fan would be perfect if the handle was carved by hand.

Now it was just short of being perfect…

She was about to put the box away as she was lamenting.

But then she stopped for a second.

As she looked again from a farther distance, she noticed that the boring cloud carvings seemed to blend in with the lotus leaves as part of the painting!

The lotuses were sitting on top of the cloud…

This is the lotus pond that belonged to Queen Mother of the Heavens?!

Chen Kexin looked up all of a sudden.

Gu Shishi smiled at her, “Ah, you noticed it now?”

Chen Kexin nodded with difficulty.

She suddenly realized that her grandmother was right… Gu Shishi’s painting was worth way more than 30,000 yuan.

Gu Shishi was selling it to her for dirt cheap.

She had taken a big advantage of Gu Shishi!

[Received fondness from Chen Kexin!]

[The progress of the “Chen Kexin” mission increased by 60%.]

Gu Shishi was a little stunned but she figured it out right away.

She was just about to take off when she was stopped by Chen Kexin.

She turned around and saw the awkward and troubled look on the girl.

“I read in the group chat that they are going to invite you to one of their gatherings, and they planned to insult you there. Just… don’t go. And don’t say that you heard it from me either!”

Chen Kexin stammered for a while before she was able to get that out.

“Oh? Is that so? I haven’t received the invitation yet.”
