Chapter 10

During this period, He Baizhi had been staying at Lin Moyu’s house. Lin’s parents had noticed long ago, and they had very little good impression left of this girl who seemed to have no self-respect.

What kind of decent girl moves into a man’s house before marriage, lazes around all day, and does absolutely nothing? She had no awareness whatsoever.

Privately, Lin’s mother spoke to her son about it, only to discover that he didn’t actually like He Baizhi that much. He merely told them not to interfere because he had his own plans.

At first, Lin’s mother tolerated He Baizhi staying in the room all day doing nothing. But as time went on, her disgust grew stronger.

Whenever she went out, she would gossip about He Baizhi to the neighborhood busybodies. One person spread it to ten, and soon everyone nearby looked at He Baizhi with ridicule in their eyes.

Recently, He Baizhi had become more and more haggard. The food was terrible, the living conditions poor, and her complexion gradually turned sallow. She wasn’t young to begin with, and now the collagen on her face seemed to disappear overnight.

She looked as though she had aged ten years, yet she herself noticed nothing, completely immersed in the fantasy of love Lin Moyu had woven for her.

That day, just before leaving the house, Lin Moyu suddenly grabbed He Baizhi’s hand with a serious expression. His eyes carried the same affectionate gaze she remembered from her previous life, making her almost want to cry.

“Baizhi, I’ve recently found a project with huge potential! I’m just short two hundred thousand yuan…” Lin Moyu suppressed his disgust as he pretended to look deeply in love while facing that yellow, worn-out face.

“Isn’t it just two hundred thousand? Moyu-gege, don’t worry, I’ll give it to you!” He Baizhi said disdainfully upon hearing the amount.

In her previous life, even one of her necklaces had cost more than that. Without hesitation, she immediately agreed.

When Lin Moyu saw how quickly she agreed, excitement bloomed in his heart. Soon, he would finally no longer have to fake affection toward this old-looking hag.

He Baizhi immediately took out her phone to transfer the money. But the moment her finger tapped “confirm payment,” the pop-up notification made the smile on her face freeze.

[Insufficient Balance]

Seeing those four words, He Baizhi was utterly unable to believe it. She actually didn’t even have two hundred thousand yuan.

Out of the corner of his eye, Lin Moyu saw it too. His face instantly turned alternating shades of green and white.

She was even better at pretending than he was!

In the end, He Baizhi transferred all the remaining 87,000 yuan in her account to Lin Moyu and promised that she would give him the remaining 120,000 next week.

The moment Xu Xinghe opened her eyes, she saw that Fu Tingshen was already awake, quietly watching her.

“Good morning~ baby.” Xu Xinghe sat up, stretched lazily, and yawned as she spoke.

“Good morning.” Fu Tingshen also sat up and gently pressed down a stray strand of her hair.

Xu Xinghe got up to go to the bathroom. Only when she reached the bathroom door did she notice the person following behind her.

???

Fu Tingshen saw her turn around to look at him and gave her a faint smile.

Smiling that prettily? No matter how pretty — absolutely not allowed to watch!

Without hesitation, Xu Xinghe slammed the bathroom door shut with a bang. Her skin wasn’t thick enough to let someone stare at her while she used the bathroom.

Fu Tingshen touched the nose that had almost been hit by the door and looked somewhat aggrieved at the closed bathroom door. Then he simply crouched outside it, staring at it without blinking, waiting for it to open.

So when Xu Xinghe came out of the bathroom, she was instantly tripped by the crouching man in front of her. Just as she thought she was about to crash intimately into the floor, a pair of large hands firmly caught her by the waist.

Fresh out of sleep, Fu Tingshen’s hair lay obediently across his forehead. His eyes were dark and round as he looked at her.

“Tingshen baby~ are you a puppy? Can’t bear to leave your master for even a second, hm?” Xu Xinghe tugged at his collar teasingly.

“Mm. I’m your puppy, Master.” Fu Tingshen felt no shame at all. Instead, excitement surged through him. Being Xingxing’s puppy felt wonderful~

Xu Xinghe felt certain he was seducing her on purpose! How could he say something like that with such a cold expression on his face?!
