QTAMW

Inside of a car, a gloomy-looking Xuan Mu sent a message to Bing Shi while gesturing for Mia to go ahead.

『Xuan Mu:』 What is my Bing Shi doing?

『Bing Shi:』Packing my luggage. You?

『Xuan Mu:』 Going to a night club with pretty girls.

『Bing Shi:』Have fun! (≧▽≦)

『Xuan Mu:』 You should reprimand me!

『Bing Shi:』 Oh! Don't buy alcohol for girls! Check their age before starting a conversation! These days you can't tell if they are fifteen or twenty. Say hello to Mia ~

『Xuan Mu:』What about me? You don't care about me at all! *cries in the corner*

『Bing Shi:』 Say hello to Xuan Mu~

His lips curled up.

『Xuan Mu:』Bing Shi!!!

『Bing Shi:』 What? I can't say don't dance with girls, because you can't dance. ಥ‿ಥ

『Xuan Mu:』 *laughs in the corner* Thanks for cheering me up. Goodnight, sleep well. *hugs*

『Bing Shi:』I'll accompany you in the future so you won't be bored, haha! Good night~ *hugs back*

After their short conversation, Xuan Mu's heart warmed up. He closed the door of his car and walked into a night club. Four people were waiting for him in front of the entrance, safeguarding him from all sides.

"Good evening sir." Three men bowed respectfully.

"Good evening," Xuan Mu bestowed them a light smile.

"Mr. Xuan Mu, please follow us to Mr. Nao's room," said a beautiful woman in a revealing nightdress, taking the lead, she led him inside.

On the way to the VIP room, Xuan Mu observed his surroundings. The music was loud enough to cause one to go deaf. As a few dancers swirled their bodies inside a cage, the ball of light above shined its colors on his face, casting a dark shadow underneath his eyes. The three men encircled him in protection, not letting anybody go anywhere near their client, catching a few people's attention in the process.

〖Too loud.〗

〖This place stinks.〗

〖Full of horny and drunk people.〗

〖No. I'm not bringing my Bing Shi to such a dirty place.〗

"Mr. Xuan Mu, we've arrived," the same woman informed.

"Thank you," Xuan Mu opened the door to the room by himself, closing it right before their faces, he walked inside casually. His civil tone didn't match his actions at all. He sat on the empty couch at the center of the room, entirely ignoring all the beautiful women in their see-through nightgowns. The scene in the club made him feel disgusted. This scene reached his limit.

"Mr. Xuan Mu, welcome to my... " Mr. Nao didn't even finish his sentence.

"All under twenty, out."

The whole room broke down in cold sweat. Mr. Nao gestured for the girls to leave. He couldn't afford to angry this man. From twenty girls, fifteen left. Mia put a cup of tea on the table, walking behind Xuan Mu silently. This will be fast, she thought. Her boss didn't like to waste time.

"You choose one for me, Mr. Nao."

"I don't dare," said Mr. Nao timidly.

"I count to three," warned Xuan Mu, his tone full of authority.

"Y-You, go to Mr. Xuan, hurry!" Mr. Nao quickly pointed at a random girl, who promptly ran before the secretive, yet s.e.xy man.

"V.i.r.g.i.n?" Xuan Mu assessed her legs up towards her face, stopping on her eyes, waiting for her answer.

"Y-yes," she lied bashfully.

"Out."

"..." The girl looked helplessly at Mr. Nao, who showed her to go away.

In the end, only Mr. Nao, Mia, and Xuan Mu remained. No matter the answer all girls were chased out. Mia started to get nervous. Xuan Mu behaved differently from his usual self.

"This is not how you do business, Mr. Nao. If you want to get out of the underworld. First, change your mindset. Don't use women as currency."

"I'm sorry. Give me a second chance, please," Mr. Nao kneeled before Xuan Mu fearfully.

"Second, time is money. You wasted a lot of my time."

"I'm sorry. It won't happen again," Mr. Nao got on all fours and bowed down.

"This second chance is going to cost you a lot, Mr. Nao."

"Thank you, thank you," Mr. Nao kept on bowing. For a second chance, Xuan Mu, this man, would demand to be treated as such, and if you didn't like it, well, you better get the hell out of his way.

Early the next day...

Bing Shi finished her degree exams successfully; she was going to get her diploma tomorrow. Xuan Mu had an important meeting today, after the meeting, he'd go with Bing Shi's parents and brothers to the airport.

░How to make money if you aren't a genius? Save more, spent less~░

Though Bing Shi received a big sum of money every month from her parents, to save more, she lived frugally. Instead of driving by cars, she used public transportation and stopped buying new clothes and handbags. The exception was her first year, where she had to change the whole closet. All her new outfits were timeless. Instead of deliveries and restaurants, she cooked her own food.

Her timeline was changed to three days, for the rest of the week, she worked in the construction company.

Bing Shi would always inform Xuan Mu before going outside.

『Bing Shi:』Xuan Mu, I'm going shopping! *squeals loudly*

『Xuan Mu:』 Alright, don't forget to put your GPS on. *plugs ears*

『Bing Shi:』It's on. Do you want anything from the shopping mall?

『Xuan Mu:』 I only want Bing Shi.

『Bing Shi:』*gives one Bing Shi*

『Xuan Mu:』What about two?

『Bing Shi:』*Gives two Bing Shies*

『Xuan Mu:』How much?

『Bing Shi:』2 000 000 $ for two of them.

『Xuan Mu:』Deal. *Sending 2 000 000$ to Bing Shi*

░How to make big money without saving? Find a rich boyfriend.░

Did he send her the money?

Of course not.

· · ─── · ⊱❈⊰· ─── · ·

Before the shopping mall, stood Bing Shi, in her navy blue vintage dress with a red ribbon under her shirt collar. The first store she visited was the one with skincare products.

░Now, let's buy something for Xuan Mu~░

░I'll need a new set of skincare for him, let's buy him the same as mine, yup.░

░These animal face masks are going to be perfect for him, haha, buying!░

Bing Shi ended up buying skincare for her whole family, which consisted of her mother, father, two younger brothers, and Xuan Mu.

Bing Shi never brought any souvenirs home, for her, they were just ugly looking dust catchers. Instead, she'd buy local sweets and food for people she was not familiar with, like Xuan Mu's parents and Mia.

░What about Guan Lin? Nah.░

Bing Shi bought a lot; still, it was not heavy enough to grab a taxi. She walked towards the tramway station, but throughout the way, she was stopped by a man.
