Chapter 138: One Of You is Starting to Develop Feelings For the Other
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Shanchu had already disappeared.
...Nan Mu thought that he should at least tell Huo Xunzhou that he was leaving.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Huo Xunzhou coming down with a suitcase.
“Xunzhou, we…
“Where’s Lin Shanchu?”
“She already left.” Nan Mu pointed outside.
Huo Xunzhou was about to chase after her when Nan Mu added, “She couldn’t wait to go out. She said that she really wanted to go back and record the show.” Huo Xunzhou stopped in his tracks.
The reason why Nan Mu said this was to prove his innocence. He wanted to make it clear that she was the one who wanted to leave.
It had nothing to do with him.
However, it was obvious that his words had the opposite effect.
Huo Xunzhou looked at him expressionlessly before handing the luggage over to Nan Mil.
Nan Mu silently accepted it.
“Wait here,” Huo Xunzhou said.
Huo Xunzhou turned around and went to the kitchen. Soon, he came out with a lunchbox.
Nan Mu quietly opened it and saw that it was Lin Shanchu’s lunch.
He thought that Huo Xunzhou had specially packed it for him and was so touched that he almost cried on the spot.
“Xunzhou, you are my…”
“She prepared it for Yun Wu.”
Huo Xunzhou’s emotionless voice made Nan Mu swallow the words “true brother” that he hadn’t had the chance to say.
“I’m leaving.” Nan Mu sighed. He was thinking too much.
Nan Mu then realized Huo Xunzhou didn’t follow him after walking a few steps
away.
“Aren’t you going to send Lin Shanchu off?” he asked.
Huo Xunzhou turned around and went upstairs.
Li MO, who didn’t dare to come over after going downstairs, finally dared to come forward.
“I’ll send her off.” He lowered his voice and lowered his presence in front of Huo Xunzhou.
“Does she even want you to send her off?” Nan Mu scoffed.
Huo Xunzhou’s figure had already disappeared, but Li MO still lowered his voice. “What’s wrong with me sending Sister-in-law off?” “What’s wrong?” Nan Mu felt strange. “Why are you so guilty?”
Li MO thought for a moment.
He had ruined Big Brother’s plans. The latter was already merciful enough not to kill him.
If he were to spread this matter, he’d have committed another sin.
In the end, Li MO shook his head.
He snatched the things from Nan Mu’s hands and walked out.
“Ms. Lin.”
Lin snancnu, wno was sitting m me car ana was Iosc m ner tnougncs, was pulled back to reality by Li Mots voice.
Li MO opened the car door and placed her things inside.
“Thank you,” Lin Shanchu said with a complicated expression.
She was so flustered that she forgot to take her things.
“You’re welcome. Come back often when you’re free.” Li Mo’s face was still emotionless like a robot, but his hands clung to the car door reluctantly.
He looked like a puppy waiting to be fed.
“Yes.” Lin Shanchu was surprised. Didn’t they just eat?
Li MO couldn’t help but feel sad when he thought about how he would have to eat takeout every day.
“You have to come back often!” he said again as if to confirm.
“You’re so naggy. Let’s go.” Nan Mu walked over and closed the car door. Li MO stepped aside and looked in the direction of Huo Xunzhou’s study.
Big Brother must be secretly hiding there to send Ms. Lin off.
Big Brother was sometimes so hypocritical.
Nan Mu drove away from the villa area.
Lin Shanchu calmed down and checked her health.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully replenishing Health Points for 45 days.]
“That many?”
She suspected that the system was giving out health points based on her mood.
The system sensed Lin Shanchu’s thoughts and denied, [No, it’s because the host’s interaction with the opposite sex triggered the affection value. The additional reward is twenty-three days.]
In other words, she had only earned twenty-two days with Huo Xunzhou, excluding the reward.
“The reward lasted me for a month after getting into a scandal with him, though.” There were only twenty-two days, excluding the additional rewards.
Was Huo Xunzhou that worthless?”
The system replied, [The mission completion rate of the relationship line is linked to the affection value. The affection value determines the mission completion rate, so the additional reward will be more lucrative than the original health value.]
Lin Shanchu stopped arguing with it.
After all, arguing wouldn’t change the rules.
“What do you mean by affection rate?” Lin Shanchu asked.
The system’s mechanical voice suddenly became cunning. [As the name implies, it means that one of you is starting to develop feelings for the other.]
Lin Shanchu was speechless.
It wasnt her anyway.
It was also unlikely for Huo Xunzhou… well, maybe…
The wretched system searched for articles like “A Guide to Flirting” for Lin Shanchu to read.
“I’ll block you if you don’t shut up.” The system replied, [Okay.]
The world fell silent.
But Lin Shanchu’s phone rang again.
It was Qiao Jiaxi.
“Why did the company choose Tang Qidai as the brand ambassador for a luxury brand? Didn’t you say that you wanted to support me? How could this be?
What exactly are you…” Qiao Jiaxi questioned hysterically.
Lin Shanchu rubbed her ears and moved her phone further away.
But Qiao Jiaxi’s voice was too loud. Even if she didn’t turn on the speaker
Nan Mu looked confused and shot a look at her that meant “who’s that”.
Lin Shanchu didn’t plan to conceal it. She placed her phone on speaker mode.
As soon as the speaker was turned on, Qiao Jiaxi’s sharp voice came from the phone.
“Lin Shanchu, say something!”
She was so anxious that she didn’t refer to Lin Shanchu as President Lin. ‘ Why are you so anxious? Calm down and be more mature. You’ll get what you need.”
Lin Shanchu’s voice was so gentle that it didn’t have a trace of warmth.
Qiao Jiaxin instantly felt an invisible pressure coming from the voice itself.
So, she stopped fighting immediately.
Even her tone was more respectful and humble. “I understand, President Lin.”
“Tang Qidai is a veteran in the company, so it’s normal for her to be given more resources. Although you’re a newcomer, you’re smart and outstanding. As long as you work hard, you’ll get the same resources as Tang Qidai sooner or later, won’t you?”
Lin Shanchu comforted Qiao Jiaxi softly.
Qiao Jiaxi was very pleased with the words.
She was like a cat whose fur had been stroked, and her voice softened. “I understand.”
“Good luck. Do your best,” Lin Shanchu said meaningfully.
As for how hard Qiao Jiaxi worked, it had nothing to do with her.
Whether Qiao Jiaxi wanted to rely on her own strength or slander Tang Qidai to get rid of her resources, that was her own business.
Nan Mu had heard their conversation clearly.
Lin Shanchu had the young lady completely under control with just a few words.
This made Nan Mu, Lin Shanchu’s current boss, feel a little guilty.
“Who was that?” he asked, clearing his throat.
“Qiao Jiaxi.”
Lin Shanchu opened Weibo and saw a marketing account announcing that Tang Qidai was going to be the spokesperson for a certain luxury brand.
The news had already been released, so it was probably a done deal.
Lin Shanchu wasn’t surprised.
After all, she had targeted Tang Qidai in every way she could and even stopped her from working.
It was completely within her expectations that Lu Shiyuan’s heart would ache so much that he would use resources to compensate her.
Nan Mu thought about it for a long time but still couldn’t remember who Qiao
Jiaxi was. “She sounds familiar..”
