However, Mu Chuchu was still somewhat dissatisfied when she saw that there was only one missed call. She checked her text messages again and found that there were no new messages!
This is not what she imagined.
She thought Uncle He would text her and ask her why!
As a result, nothing came of it, which made Mu Chuchu pout unhappily. Suddenly, she heard her WeChat ring. Someone had sent her a video call!
Instinctively assuming it was He Lengqian, Mu Chuchu excitedly clicked on the notification—
But to everyone's surprise, the name displayed on the screen wasn't Uncle He, but Hua Chen.
Mu Chuchu looked at the screen with a disgusted expression, and only reluctantly pressed the answer button when the call was about to end.
"What are you doing?" Mu Chuchu lay sprawled on the bed, looking at Hua Chen's handsome face on the screen with annoyance.
"Why did it take you so long to answer my video call! What were you busy with!" Hua Chen looked at Mu Chuchu with dissatisfaction, her tone resentful, like a neglected little wife.
Mu Chuchu was already in a bad mood, and her gaze towards Hua Chen became even more disdainful. "If you don't have anything important to say, I'm hanging up now."
"Wait a minute! I have something important to say!" Hua Chen was also at home, so she spoke without any reservations, looking at Mu Chuchu curiously and asking, "Chuchu, what exactly are you? The talisman you gave me is really amazing! I didn't have any nightmares last night, and I slept for more than ten hours straight! I've never slept so well before. Look at my skin, it's as smooth as a peeled egg..."
"Don't put your big face in front of the camera, I don't want to see it." Mu Chuchu sized up Hua Chen, and could tell he was in good spirits even through the screen. "Did you used to have nightmares a lot?"
Hua Chen nodded, sighed deeply, and wished she could wipe away a tear of bitterness. "Isn't my constitution special? Even though I wear a protective necklace, I'm still often bothered by evil spirits. Having nightmares is nothing to me. I'm used to it."
"Then you're really having a tough time," Mu Chuchu sighed.
"However! I didn't have any nightmares last night, so I knew your talisman was very effective. Chu Chu, didn't you tell me yesterday that this talisman only lasts for a month? Look, after this month, can you renew it for me?" Hua Chen looked at Mu Chu Chu ingratiatingly.
Mu Chuchu raised an eyebrow. "It's possible to renew it, but these days you need to renew your membership just to watch a video. I can't just renew it for you for free..."
"What do you want? Just name it if I can make it happen!" Hua Chen said hurriedly, afraid that Mu Chuchu would not agree.
"Hmm... let me think about it. But there's only one thing: you can't tell anyone about the amulet I gave you, not even your family. Just say you accidentally met a powerful person outside, and don't reveal my name," Mu Chuchu said.
Hua Chen scratched his head in confusion, "Why?"
"Never mind all that, just tell me if you agree or not."
"I promise! I'll do whatever you say from now on. I'll be your henchman, your little brother!" Hua Chen looked at Mu Chuchu excitedly.
"Go play somewhere else, I'm going out." Mu Chuchu said goodbye to Hua Chen, then got up, washed up, changed into a designer haute couture dress, and went to the Century Hotel.
Taking the elevator up to the rooftop open-air restaurant, Mu Chuchu found that the entire place had been booked. A hotel staff member respectfully led her to her seat.
Mu Chuchu didn't rush to order food, but waited for Mu Tianhua and the others to arrive.
Ten minutes later, Mu Chuchu didn't see Mu Tianhua; instead, she was greeted by a strange man.
