A Personality and Charisma Like Gold

Xu Qin's heart was pounding.

This sudden visit by the goddess of luck made it hard for her to control herself; it took her quite a while to calm down a little.

She immediately returned to the room the shop owner had been forced to prepare for her, washed up, and dressed up again, trying her best to choose clothes that made her look slimmer.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she felt even more satisfied.

She went to the pharmacy next door, bought some necessary medicine, and then turned back to find the shop owner, saying softly, "Boss, you must be tired. Let me help you with some chores."

The shop owner was indeed very tired, almost to the point of collapse, sweating all over. Hearing her words, he was quite happy at first.

But when he turned his head and saw that it was Xu Qin, his face was instantly filled with astonishment.

"You?"

"Yes, let me help you take care of the horses."

"You?"

The shop owner was dumbfounded, instinctively wanting to look up at the sun outside to see if it had risen from the west today.

This Xu Qin only did bookkeeping in his shop, and she often delayed even those basic duties for various reasons.

Now, she was volunteering to help him look after the horses?!

Has she... changed her personality?

Or... did she hear that the imperial army had entered the city and got scared?

"Boss, I think the horse outside the door is quite nice. Let me take care of it for you."

The shop owner suddenly understood.

So she saw that the horse was magnificent and wanted to get close to it!

"She probably thinks the owner of that horse is extraordinary, so she wants to create an opportunity for herself."

"To fulfill her dream of finding a good match."

Guessing Xu Qin's thoughts, the shop owner immediately shook his head and said, "No need. I have already taken good care of that horse. After it finishes its forage and beans, it will be about ready to be led away."

"There's nothing else that needs to be done."

"If you really want to help, sweep the shop for me. Can't you see how messy and dirty it is? Besides, this is what you should be doing anyway."

According to the contract between the shop owner and Xu Qin, bookkeeping was the main part, but because of the shortage of hands, there were other odd jobs required. After all, the salary the shop owner was forced to pay was not low.

Xu Qin refused outright: "I just want to take care of that horse. You can't just stop me. I am a member of the Tongxin Alliance. If you refuse, I will go to the authorities and report that you mistreat people pursuing love!"

With another sentence, she choked back the boss's thousands of words. Xu Qin walked out of the room by herself and went to the stable.

The Jade Qilin was burying its head in the forage.

The Jade Qilin, which hadn't had a full meal in peace for a long time, was now eating wildly. If a horse's face could show expressions, it would definitely look happy at this moment.

However, a horse's mood also affects its demeanor and spirit. Because the Jade Qilin was feeling so comfortable, it appeared even more majestic and handsome, making it impossible to look away.

Watching it, Xu Qin felt her heart blossom with joy.

A scene seemed to appear before her eyes: a handsome general with a jade-like face, holding a red-tasseled spear, riding slowly on the horse.

Her small face began to flush red.

She reached out to stroke the horse's back and whispered, "Good horse, what a good horse. The happiness of the rest of my life depends entirely on you."

Looking around, making sure no one was paying attention, she immediately mixed the medicine she had just bought from the pharmacy with the forage and beans, and fed it to the Jade Qilin.

She had bought croton, wolfsbane, and even some poisonous weeds. After mixing these things with the forage and letting the horse eat them, it wouldn't be long before the horse had problems.

Severe diarrhea, colic, exhaustion!

And then... maybe it would be fatal, maybe not!

Xu Qin couldn't say for sure, but she knew she could definitely ruin this horse.

Once something went wrong with the horse, then...

The horse's owner would come knocking on the door!

"He will definitely fit my image of a perfect husband, just like the ones in the books I've read!"

Holding onto this beautiful dream, Xu Qin returned to her room with her heart beating wildly, waiting for the most suitable opportunity to show up.

However, her mind was constantly churning, unable to calm down.

Scenes and frames emerged one by one.

The horse's owner would find out that something was wrong with his fine steed and come to the door, but she had accidentally ruined the horse and couldn't afford to compensate for such a good horse.

Then, the handsome and domineering horse owner would demand that she work closely for him to pay off her debt.

She would always be by the horse owner's side.

But she had personality, wasn't afraid of power, and had her own ideas. She would definitely not get along with the horse owner at first, and they would bicker frequently and have frequent friction.

She and the horse owner would compete with each other.

But the horse owner would gradually discover her unparalleled virtues and then fall hopelessly in love with her.

After that, the horse owner would verbally make things difficult for her and give her various hard tasks, but in reality, he would silently guard her, secretly protect her, and quietly take her side.

Until the ugly women around the horse owner deliberately made things difficult for her, causing her to encounter an insurmountable hurdle. At this time, the horse owner would no longer disguise himself.

The horse owner would step out forcefully, slap the faces of those ugly women, and seek justice for her.

And then...

The two of them would have physical contact, and the horse owner would become even more hopelessly infatuated. They would chat alone at night, revealing their pure souls to each other, becoming close friends.

In the end...

"It must be the horse owner sacrificing himself to save me in my moment of crisis. That way, his aloof and domineering persona would completely collapse."

"He would only be able to obsessively possess me and forcefully love me!"

In almost an instant, Xu Qin imagined a whole scene in her head, and integrated all the books she had read over the years to come up with the best script.

She was so happy that her heart fluttered, and she could hardly contain herself!

"I will definitely not let down this ending tailored for me. I will definitely let the horse owner see my golden personality and charm."

Xu Qin thought and waited.

She didn't have to wait long. After a short while, a noisy sound came from outside the house, followed immediately by a furious roar that seemed to shatter the roof tiles!

"Boss, do you freaking want to die!"

"I asked you to look after my horse. Why is my horse foaming at the mouth? Why did it fall down?"

"What the hell did you feed it?"

This vulgar voice made Xu Qin instantly frown.

Because it didn't match her imagined horse owner at all. Fortunately, she had read extensively and understood the essence of it, so she quickly figured it out.

"It must be the horse owner's subordinate. So, next, the subordinate will definitely go find the horse owner, and the horse owner will come soon."

"I can't let the shop owner take the lead on such a good opportunity."

Xu Qin hurriedly walked out of the room and saw the shop owner sweating profusely, hastily apologizing: "Sir, sir, I, I don't know! I fed this horse according to the best forage and beans. I really fed it according to the best standards."

"I didn't mix in any other messy things."

"Sir, it's true, it's true!"

The shop owner had already knelt down in fear!
