After all, she was once my ideal woman, and Li Churan is now both beautiful and sexy.

Chen Xiu couldn't help but tease her a little.

What are you looking at?

Li Churan felt a little uncomfortable under Chen Xiu's strange gaze, and she subconsciously covered her neckline with her hand.

"hey-hey."

Chen Xiu grinned and said, "Chu Ran, you don't want Aunt Xue to know about what happened today, do you?"

"You're threatening me!"

Li Churan frowned, her beautiful eyes filled with wariness, and asked, "What exactly do you want?"

"I just want to know if you're suited for the entertainment industry."

Chen Xiu's smile vanished, and he sat down casually on the sofa, saying, "Han Shaobo asked you to come and drink with Murong Shaobo, and you obediently came... You don't naively think that a single drink can change your future, do you? In Murong Shaobo's eyes, a minor celebrity and a mistress are practically the same. You need to constantly flatter him before he'll give you even a little bit of benefit!"

Upon hearing this, Li Churan's expression changed.

Chen Xiu continued, "But if you flatter me, I can get Murong Shaobo to give you a lot of benefits. Think about it?"

"you……"

Li Churan's chest heaved with anger, and her cheeks flushed red.

She managed to become a moderately famous female celebrity, which shows she's not as naive and innocent as her younger sister, Li Qingyao.

Before coming to Murong Shaobo's villa, Li Churan had actually prepared herself mentally... It wasn't about sleeping with Murong Shaobo or anything like that, but rather having a couple of drinks with him, and then being touched on the hand or teased a bit. She could accept that!

But Li Churan was not mentally prepared to face Chen Xiu.

After all, this boy had grown up under the same roof as him.

And he's a complete lapdog who obeys my every command!

"Alright, you can talk to Murong Shaobo next time."

Chen Xiu said.

"you……"

Li Churan took a few deep breaths, then obediently picked up the decanter, poured half a glass of red wine into a stemmed glass, and walked over to Chen Xiu.

She chose to compromise.

Although he didn't know why, Murong Shaobo did indeed obey Chen Xiu's every command.

If Chen Xiuken were to ask Murong Shaobo to invest in her, Li Churan was confident that she could become a famous A-list female star.

So, she accepted it!

"Ash... let's have a drink."

Li Churan held two glasses of red wine, handing one to Chen Xiu.

"..."

A complex look flashed in Chen Xiu's eyes.

Despite all the effort he had put into his performance, Li Churan had never even given him a second glance.

Are we going to compromise so easily now?

Chen Xiu didn't think much of it, and Li Churan drank the red wine in her wine glass in one gulp.

Seeing this, Li Churan also downed the red wine in her glass in one gulp, and then asked, "And then, what else do you want to do?"

"That's all. Let's go upstairs and choose a room."

Chen Xiu said.

"no!!"

Li Churan refused righteously and firmly. Her beautiful eyes widened as she glared fiercely at Chen Xiu, and she said coldly, "Chen Xiu, don't forget, we grew up together. You want me to sleep with you?! You... do you have any conscience? Have you forgotten who adopted you?!"

"What nonsense are you thinking!"

Chen Xiu was speechless for a moment, then asked, "When did I ask you to sleep with me?!"

"You told me to go upstairs and choose a room..."

Li Churan said angrily.

"Yes. I let you choose a room because Murong Shaobo gave me this villa."

Chen Xiu said.

"ah……"

Li Churan then realized she had misunderstood, her pretty face turning bright red, and her ears burning with embarrassment.

"However, we can't choose the master bedroom; it's definitely Aunt Xue's!"

Chen Xiu was just teasing Li Churan; he had no intention of having her sleep with him. He stretched and said, "Yaoyao has wanted her own bedroom for a long time. I'll drive to school to pick them up later and give them a surprise!"

"I see."

Li Churan then realized that she had misunderstood, and a shy blush rose on her fair face.

But when she saw Chen Xiu turn his gaze away from her face without any lingering affection, she felt a strange sense of loss again.

When Chen Xiu was enthusiastic towards her before, she not only didn't feel anything, but even felt a little disgusted.

But now that she realizes she no longer attracts Chen Xiu, Li Churan feels somewhat sad.

Suppressing her disappointment, Li Churan asked curiously, "Axiu, how did you manage to get those gold bars and the current attitude of the Murong family head towards you?"

"Because... I am a cultivator."

Chen Xiu told the truth.

After Li Churan left last night, Chen Xiu only showed Yang Yuxue and Li Qingyao his methods of summoning flames and lightning.

Li Churan had never seen any of these before.

Upon hearing this explanation, Li Churan displayed the same expression she had shown before, just like her mother and sister.

She stared at Chen Xiu as if he were mentally challenged, "Are you kidding me?"

Believe it or not!

Chen Xiu was too lazy to explain to Li Churan. If he were to demonstrate his lightning summoning skill again, the entire villa's renovation would probably be ruined.

Moreover, Aunt Xue and Li Qingyao will definitely tell her later that she is a cultivator.

"you!!"

Li Churan frowned, recalling how she used to manipulate Chen Xiu, and instantly her expression turned pitiful: "Ah Xiu, you've changed..."

Delicate features, rosy cheeks, and a pitiful expression.

And that graceful and exquisite figure, everything about her was tempting Chen Xiu.
