At this moment, the waiter brought out the steaming hot pot base and all the side dishes. Among these side dishes, there was also a small dessert served in a nine-compartment green porcelain plate.
Su Jiu was taken aback. "You... fell in love with me at first sight?"
“That’s right,” Shen Mochen said, his voice extremely serious, each word distinct. “I had a good impression of you from the first time we met, and later I couldn’t help but want to get closer to you. I even participated in that variety show for you. I was very happy during the time I spent with you.”
"That was the happiest time of my life in the last twenty-six years." The man's voice was deep, mellow, and sexy. He seemed to be reminiscing, his thin lips curving slightly, and his eyebrows and eyes were so gentle.
"Are you... confessing to me?" The girl blinked, her face flushed, and asked.
"Hmm." The man spoke each word with utmost seriousness, "Xiao Jiu, would you like to be my girlfriend? If we're together in the future, all my assets will be yours. I will make you happy and let you count money in piles of cash every day."
[I'd be happy to count money in a pile! But agreeing to this so hastily is too much! Although Brother Shen is a handsome man with a great physique and is amazing in bed, a relationship without an emotional foundation is like a pile of loose sand; it will crumble without even a breeze.]
“Of course, I’m not in a hurry for you to agree,” Shen Mochen said. “I’ll give you plenty of time to think it over.”
"But before that, can you promise me you won't fall in love with anyone else, and you won't be with anyone else?" The man's deep eyes gazed at the girl in front of him, his gaze so gentle.
Su Jiu thought for a moment, "Okay. If you want to be with me, you have to pursue me."
"I'm not a casual girl!" Su Jiu said. "If you're not sincere, then I'll refuse to be your girlfriend!"
“Alright, then I will show my sincerity.” Shen Mochen looked at Su Jiu with a smile in his eyes. “I have already had my lawyer draft the transfer of 20% of the shares of the Shen Group that I control to you.”
"Young Master Duo?!" The girl's eyes lit up, sparkling as if filled with a sky full of stars.
"20% of the shares," the man said with a smile. "The share transfer agreement has already been sent to your home by express delivery. You can sign your name on it when you get home tonight, and it will officially take effect."
“You will receive a share of the Shen Group’s profits every month.”
[Oh my god! 20%! I've struck it rich! I've struck it rich! I have so much money!]
[This is 20% of the Shen Group's shares! Does that mean I'm a little rich woman now?!]
I've finally achieved the financial freedom I've always wanted!
At this moment, the system couldn't help but speak up to remind you: [Host, I have to pour cold water on this for you. Although you have money, if you don't complete the "watching the drama unfold" task and your luck value doesn't increase further, your life will still be in danger. Then your money will just be colorful numerical symbols...]
Su Jiu: [Don't worry! I can definitely do it!!]
System: [Host, you were previously bound to Wen Wan. If she completes the main quest assigned by her system while you fail, your luck value will also be reset to zero, and you will face mortal danger!]
Su Jiu: [That vicious woman! No matter what Wen Wan tries to do, I'll sabotage it all! I'm seething with rage!]
The man opposite held chopsticks in his long, slender right hand and slowly put the beef and mutton into the pot to cook.
Su Jiu took a bite of the small dessert, and the subtle sweetness that bloomed on her taste buds made her feel a little better.
"What kind of dipping sauce would you like? I'll make it for you," the man said softly.
"Oh, I'll have mushroom sauce, beef sauce, oyster sauce, seafood sauce, and some spicy sauce and sesame paste, plus lots of chopped green onions. Thank you, Brother Shen!" The girl smiled sweetly as she took a bite of tiramisu.
“Could you try calling me something different?” the man said. “For example… call me by another name?”
"Hmm... Mo Cheng?" the girl asked tentatively.
"Can."
"Alright then, Mo Cheng, please get some dipping sauce for this princess." Su Jiu said with a smile.
"Yes, my noble little princess." The man's voice was deep, mellow, and magnetic, both soothing and alluring, making one's heart flutter.
[He's quite the charmer, ugh. Has he said these kinds of things to other women before?]
Oh, no, it seems he only confessed to me. That's good, haha.
While Su Jiu was eating hotpot, she got up and went to the restroom.
Inside the bathroom, after she washed her hands at the sink when she came out, a burly middle-aged man walked towards her.
"Little sister, would you like to add me on WeChat?" The middle-aged man looked Su Jiu up and down, smiling ambiguously as he spoke.
"Really? That's great! I'm divorced with three kids, and I've been worried about not having any men talking to me." Su Jiu smiled, her eyes crinkling.
The middle-aged man paused for a moment, "You look so young, you don't seem like you've ever had a child..."
This girl is so thin and young, and has such a great figure, does she look like she's had three children?
"Hey, you can't judge a book by its cover. I'm very fertile, I had triplets in one pregnancy. The fortune teller said that next time I could have a whole football team in one pregnancy!" Su Jiu washed her hands and continued to talk nonsense.
"I see..." The middle-aged man hesitated. Although the girl was very beautiful, if something happened between them, she would have three children to support and high living expenses, which would definitely cost a lot of money and cause a lot of trouble.
Besides, what if something really happens between us? What if she gets pregnant and has several babies? Wouldn't that be like having a tangled mess that's impossible to shake off?
But the middle-aged man was still somewhat unwilling to accept it, "Then why did your ex-husband abandon you and the children? Where did your ex-husband go?"
"He was flirting with women outside, and I knocked him to death with a hammer." Su Jiu washed and dried her hands, then turned to look at him and said, "I still have the murder weapon hidden in my bag. How about this, you drive me around and help me find a place to bury the murder weapon and the body?"
The middle-aged man was horrified, his face turning deathly pale. "Ah... forget it, forget it..."
He slipped away as fast as he could and ran away in a flash.
Su Jiu smiled with satisfaction.
Sigh, when you're out in the world, you have to give yourself your own identity.
She got up and returned to her seat. By then, Shen Mochen had already prepared the dipping sauce and placed it in front of her.
"I just went to the restroom," Su Jiu said.
"Hmm, after we finish dinner, how about we watch a movie?" the man suggested.
"Okay." Su Jiu smiled, her eyes crinkling.
The man's brows and eyes were full of tenderness.
After dinner, Shen Mochen booked movie tickets. Since it wasn't time yet, he and Su Jiu strolled around the mall together.
At that moment, a familiar voice rang out.
"Big brother?"
