Chapter Index

    “Achoo!”

    In a banquet hall of the Kempinski International Hotel, Jiang Qin had been sneezing non-stop since he started eating. The hair on his arms stood up as he felt like someone was watching him, causing him to feel inexplicably anxious.

    What’s going on? Did I lose money?

    Jiang Qin looked around but didn’t see a single coin.

    As the banquet was coming to an end, Wei Lanlan walked over with a stack of room keycards. “Boss, the manager of Kanbona Hotel has already prepared rooms for us in advance.”

    “Then let’s go. We might as well sleep in this five-star hotel bed and see if we can dream of becoming the world’s richest man.”

    Jiang Qin waved his hand and led the people behind him onto the elevator, arriving at the top floor of the hotel.

    When the people of Room 208 looked through the glass at the Oriental Pearl Tower under the night sky and the colorful Huangpu River illuminated by lights, endless exclamations of “fuck me” began.

    Seeing this scene, Jiang Qin’s mood was very complicated.

    For real capitalists, social resources are like free tap water. This is definitely not an empty phrase.

    Because with enough status, reputation, and connections, it seems like everything goes smoothly no matter what you do. When you go out, everyone is your friend and nothing bad happens around you.

    But once you have nothing, what can you do if your luggage gets lost? Even if you’re angry, don’t you have no choice but to compromise?

    So the world isn’t inherently good or bad. The world doesn’t even know what you do, so how could it deliberately target you?

    The reason some people feel the world is beautiful while others find it cruel is simply due to the unfair distribution of resources.

    When 20% of people control 80% of the resources, the remaining 80% naturally share 80% of life’s hardships and spiritual exhaustion.

    “Little rich girl, if your family knew I took you traveling, would they beat me to death?”

    Feng Nanshu looked at him blankly. “I made good friends. Why would they beat you to death?”

    Jiang Qin was speechless for a moment. “Right, you’re absolutely right. We’re just good friends, purely platonic good friends.”

    “Jiang Qin, your purely platonic good friend wants to watch TV in your room.”

    “You ran around outside with me all day. Aren’t you tired? And you still want to watch TV?”

    Feng Nanshu narrowed her eyes like a cute silly cat. “Look, because I don’t feel tired at all.”

    Jiang Qin had no choice but to take her back to his suite. But when he entered, he found the room had two bedrooms, a larger one and a smaller one, and a living room with a home theater.

    “The call you made today was to your aunt?” Jiang Qin put their luggage in the foyer.

    Feng Nanshu nodded. “Auntie is a good person.”

    “Since she already knows you’re in Shanghai, she’s not sending someone to pick you up?”

    “I don’t want her to come. But she might come secretly. When the time comes, you take me and run away.”

    Jiang Qin sat on the sofa and couldn’t help but fall into deep thought from this back and forth conversation.

    That night outside Hongrong Homes, Uncle Gong had said that the young miss of his family was very smart and could clearly tell who treated her well and who didn’t. But the little rich girl always seemed very resistant to her own family, except for this aunt.

    In other words, Feng Nanshu’s aunt treated her the best.

    But for some reason, even when facing this aunt, Feng Nanshu didn’t show enough warmth.

    You should know, although she appears cold on the surface, inside lives a clingy little cutie. Otherwise, she wouldn’t always ask to be hugged every day and never want to leave once she’s snuggled in.

    From this point, Feng Nanshu’s resistance comes from her family’s inability to give her a sense of security, including her aunt.

    “Jiang Qin, I’m sleeping here tonight.” Feng Nanshu suddenly pointed at the second bedroom.

    Jiang Qin snapped out of it. “If you sleep here, aren’t we wasting a room?”

    “But the rooms this time are free.”

    “Good point. Then you go shower first, I’ll shower after. After showering, I’ll watch TV with you for a bit. Then I’ll go to the second bedroom and you go to the main bedroom. We’ll each sleep.”

    Feng Nanshu was a little satisfied with this arrangement. Her eyes flickered with joyful light. She took out a change of clothes from her suitcase, kicked off her shoes, and pitter-pattered to the bathroom.

    Hearing the sound of running water not far away, Jiang Qin couldn’t help but hiss. He thought, fuck, the imagination is starting.

    Young people these days really can’t handle temptation. Just hearing the sound of someone else showering seems enough to eat three bowls of rice.

    Jiang Qin reached out to pick up the throw pillow beside him, placed it on his legs, and casually grabbed the remote to turn up the TV volume.

    After a while, the little rich girl came out wearing the hotel’s pure white bathrobe. Her hair was blow-dried halfway. She came to the sofa, lightly kicked off her slippers, and placed her small, snow-white feet on the sofa.

    “I’m done showering, Jiang Qin. Your turn.”

    “You can’t say that casually. Some upright gentlemen with unyielding integrity will have a hard time sleeping.”

    Jiang Qin muttered as he also took out a change of clothes and went to the bathroom. But as soon as he took off his clothes, he saw a cute tiger print and a lace-trimmed undergarment in the laundry basket.

    The little rich girl really has no guard against him at all. He took a deep breath, angrily showered, and came to the sofa in the living room.

    At this time, Feng Nanshu had changed into her pajamas. She stared at the TV with gentle eyes as it played “My Fair Princess”. Her snowy feet swayed slightly.

    “Little rich girl, I know magic. I can turn white into black. Do you believe it?”

    “Jiang Qin, you want to trick me.” Feng Nanshu was smart as hell.

    Jiang Qin couldn’t help but raise the corner of his mouth. “If you don’t believe me, stretch out your feet. I only need an hour to do it. If I can’t, I’ll buy you something delicious tomorrow.”

    The little rich girl thought for a moment and stretched her feet into his arms. “Don’t make it too black.”

    “Okay, let’s watch TV first. After an hour, we’ll witness a miracle.”

    “Okay.”

    Feng Nanshu obediently watched TV. After an hour, she looked at her feet. Her pink toes wiggled slightly, and her eyes were full of confusion. “Jiang Qin, they’re still white.”

    “You discovered it. I really can’t do it. I’ll buy you something delicious tomorrow.” Jiang Qin said very frankly.

    “?”

    Feng Nanshu thought for a while, realized she had been tricked, and gave him a punch while grumbling.

    Jiang Qin couldn’t help but laugh, thinking that the silly girl was easy to fool. She even believed in something like magic.

    ……

    After a day of hard work and running around, plus haggling with the manager of Kanbona Hotel for several hours, Jiang Qin now felt exhausted all over.

    The suite’s sofa was quite comfortable, making one feel drowsy. But if he didn’t sleep on the bed, he definitely wouldn’t recover tomorrow.

    Jiang Qin reached out to grab the remote. “Alright, no more. Quickly go back and sleep. We still need to go out and play tomorrow.”

    “But I can’t move anymore.” Feng Nanshu said pitifully.

    “Didn’t you say you weren’t tired at all?”

    “Now I’m a little tired. I need to be carried back.”

    “……”

    “Little rich girl, I’ve discovered you’re always on the verge of having a baby.”

    Feng Nanshu opened her little mouth and was dumbfounded for a long time, looking like she didn’t understand at all.

    At the same time, Jiang Qin bent down and picked up the fragrant and soft little rich girl from the sofa. Seeing this, she instinctively wrapped her arms around Jiang Qin’s neck. Her sleepy little eyes were incredibly clingy, not at all like a cold, rich beauty.

    After sending Feng Nanshu to bed, he also turned and went back to his room. As soon as his head hit the pillow, he fell into a deep sleep, extremely fast.

    The next morning, the bright morning sun shone through the window into the room. Outside was another cloudless blue sky.

    Jiang Qin woke up from his sleep and stretched. He sat up, swept his gaze, and found the little rich girl in her pajamas lying at the foot of his bed. Her long legs were curled up together, sleeping very soundly.

    He was slightly stunned. Then he crawled over quietly and stared at her serene sleeping face for a long time. Then he slurped and sucked back the drool that had accidentally flowed out.

    What a daring Feng Nanshu, even secretly climbing into bed. Self-taught again?

    Jiang Qin silently got out of bed, went to the living room, and angrily did more than a dozen sets of ab exercises. Then he heard someone knocking on the door outside, so he reached out to open a crack and found it was Wei Lanlan.

    “Boss, the limousine sent by Kanbona Hotel has arrived, and the tour guide is here. Everyone doesn’t want to eat at the hotel this morning. They want to try authentic local cuisine.”

    Jiang Qin ran his fingers through his hair. “Okay, you go first and have everyone gather in the lobby. I’ll be right over.”

    Wei Lanlan nodded, then pointed next door. “I went to call the boss’s wife just now, but I didn’t hear a sound. It seems she didn’t wake up.”

    Just as they were talking, a small, beautiful sleepy face peeked out from behind the door, looking cool and silly, with a sense of just-woken daze. She was looking at Wei Lanlan with pretty eyes and even waved at her.

    “……”

    “……”

    As their eyes met, Wei Lanlan immediately averted her gaze. “S-sorry to disturb you, boss. I’ll go first.”

    “Hey, what’s with that look in your eyes? Don’t go yet. I haven’t made an excuse yet. You must have misunderstood something.” Jiang Qin quickly waved but found that Wei Lanlan ran faster than the wind.

    Seeing this, Boss Jiang turned to look at Feng Nanshu. “Weren’t you sleeping soundly in your room? How did you suddenly wake up?”

    “I heard another girl’s voice and came out to see.” Feng Nanshu said righteously.

    “Then why were you lying on my bed asleep?”

    “Because I can’t sleep alone.”

    “Nonsense. Haven’t you slept alone all your life? How come you can’t sleep now?”

    After listening, Feng Nanshu was silent for a moment. “Jiang Qin, it seems I’ve developed a lot of bad habits after meeting you.”

    Jiang Qin narrowed his eyes and leaned close to her little face. “Don’t accuse the villain first. Hurry up and wash.”

    “Oh.”
