Chen Yusheng genuinely had no interest in luxury cars.
To each their own, as they say.
Zhou Jialu, however, noticed the faint ripples of affection in Su Bai's eyes when he teased Chen Yusheng—the kind of youthful crush unique to students.
Tsk tsk...
Honestly, it made her a little jealous.
So, when posing for photos by the JeSkO, Zhou Jialu put in extra effort.
More than even professional models would.
Su Bai held up his phone, snapping pictures with growing amazement.
This was exhilarating.
Now he understood why photographers loved their job so much.
After finishing a set of photos, Su Bai sent them to Zhou Jialu via WeChat and remarked, "Seems like you really enjoy taking these kinds of photos, Senior."
"Not at all! I just like it when you're the one taking them, Junior..."
...
"Hehe, it's fine. We can talk more when we get back to Shanshui Diepin."
"Mhm... let's go home!"
The word "home" made Zhou Jialu freeze for a moment before her eyes grew misty.
Home. Yes, Su Bai had already accepted her as part of his family.
During her time working at the 4S dealership, Zhou Jialu had witnessed too much of the vanity fair—bosses and salesgirls chasing material pleasures, not to mention the even more brazen tactics of car models...
In this day and age, it wasn’t hard for a woman with beauty and a great figure to cash in on those advantages for money.
The hard part was being truly accepted by someone.
Money and love rarely came hand in hand.
Many girls were out there milking wealthy men while secretly supporting their "true love" on the side.
Zhou Jialu found that utterly tragic. She could never live like that—she was the loyal, ride-or-die type.
If she couldn’t find a man worth committing to for life, she’d rather stay single and focus on her career until the end.
Home...
The thing gold diggers yearned for most, yet the hardest to obtain.
Being some wandering mistress could never compare to the joy of being Junior’s housekeeper.
Just as Su Bai was about to get into the car, Zhou Jialu suddenly hugged him tightly from behind, her affection overflowing.
"What’s wrong?"
"I love you so much, Junior Hubby~"
She stood on her tiptoes to plant a kiss on his neck, then giggled and went to drive the Panamera.
Su Bai was baffled. What had he done this time to move Senior so deeply?
Ah, whatever. No point overthinking it.
As long as his dear Senior Zhou stayed sweet like this, it was a win in his book.
Su Bai took the lead in his Koenigsegg JeSkO, making the custom Panamera Zhou Jialu drove behind him seem downright modest by comparison.
They returned to the Yashige Plaza one after the other.
As soon as Su Bai stepped out of his car in the parking lot, he was approached by a man in a sharp suit—probably some finance bro—who bombarded him with questions about the JeSkO.
Su Bai struggled to answer; he really didn’t know much about the car.
When the man finally left, he kept glancing back, clearly reluctant to part ways.
A supercar of this caliber wasn’t just rare to drive—most people rarely even got to see one in person.
Or rather, at this price point, it wasn’t about flaunting wealth for business anymore. This was pure, unadulterated luxury.
...
Back at Shanshui Diepin.
Su Bai pushed open the heavy solid wood and steel security door and stepped inside.
The lights were dimmed to a soft glow, and the house was quiet, seemingly empty.
But the moment he entered, he sensed the Wan sisters hiding in his blind spots.
Pretending not to notice, he walked forward until Wan Xinyan tiptoed up behind him. Then, he suddenly turned around, startling her into letting out an adorable squeal.
"Ah! Brother Su Bai, you—"
"Haha, thought you could sneak up on me? My hearing’s sharp."
Su Bai took in Wan Xinyan’s outfit.
She was dressed in a striking black-and-white Japanese maid uniform.
The design was traditional, exuding a classical charm.
With the Wan sisters’ figures, they didn’t need revealing outfits to turn heads.
And that slightly chubby, doll-like face of hers paired with the maid outfit made her look like she’d stepped straight out of an anime.
Noticing Su Bai’s appreciative gaze, Wan Xinyan’s earlier pout from her failed ambush vanished, replaced by a sparkle in her eyes.
"Brother Su Bai, do you like the maid outfit I picked just for you?"
"Yeah, I love it!"
His praise was genuine.
Clearly, the Wan sisters were committed to their long-term maid cosplay role.
They’d not only chosen to stay in the servants’ quarters but had even started dressing the part.
...
Those big, blinking eyes of hers could make any man’s heart race just from eye contact.
But to her surprise, Su Bai shook his head. "I still prefer it when you call me ‘Brother.’"
"Eh... okay."
...
As for Wan Xinyan, she fit the little sister image perfectly—at least in Su Bai’s eyes.
...
Zhou Jialu wisely retreated without a word.
She headed back to her "housekeeper’s room" by the second-floor staircase.
A smart woman knew when to step in—and when to step out.
...
Jiangcheng University, Male Dorm 7, Room 510.
Xue Tao was out on the balcony making another phone call.
No doubt, he was busy coaxing Liu Yuanyuan again.
Ever since catching Xue Tao cheating, Liu Yuanyuan had been wielding that evidence like the ultimate trump card in a card game.
She’d grown increasingly demanding, treating him like her personal servant.
Xue Tao had no choice—he was in the wrong.
First, he tried defending himself. Then, he apologized.
Now, he’d fully devolved into a simp, begging for Liu Yuanyuan’s forgiveness.
To keep this girlfriend, he’d do anything!
Onegai, watashi.jpg
Xue Tao had always carried a deep-seated inferiority around women.
And lately, Su Bai’s successes had been crushing his ego even further.
So, he’d fallen right into Liu Yuanyuan’s PUA traps.
After hanging up, Xue Tao trudged back inside and let out a long sigh.
“Ah, I guess this is the downside of dating—always having to coax your girlfriend.”
"What now, Local Boy? Taking her out to eat again? Buying her clothes?" Chu Mingzhe asked.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
