Let's Squander A Billion First!

"I feel like it."

Chuzheng’s tone was indifferent, impossible to discern her emotions.

The original owner was targeted like this, so she’s simply returning it.

Tang Xiaoqing: "..."

Alright then, you’re rich.

Chuzheng tugged Shu Juan: "Let’s go."

"Hang on." Shu Juan said, "Pei Luan will be here soon."

Just as Shu Juan finished speaking, Young Master Pei appeared not far away, walking towards them.

Pei Luan saw Tang Xiaoqing and greeted her first: "Little Xiaoqing is here too?"

Young Master Pei and Tang Xiaoqing knew each other, their relationship was quite good.

Tang Xiaoqing raised an eyebrow: "What are you doing here?"

"My friend." Young Master Pei indicated Shu Juan.

"He’s your friend?" Tang Xiaoqing was about to leave, but she sat back down upon hearing this.

"Yeah." Young Master Pei greeted Shu Juan, then Chuzheng, and sat next to Shu Juan.

Shu Juan and Young Master Pei exchanged a few words in low voices against the backdrop of music, Chuzheng couldn’t catch what they discussed.

But with Young Master Pei here, they wouldn’t disperse soon.

Tang Xiaoqing pulled Young Master Pei over: "Why didn’t I know Pei Bro has such good-looking friends?"

"Hey, get serious." Young Master Pei’s smile stiffened: "When you call me Pei Bro, it can’t be for anything good."

Tang Xiaoqing forced a smile: "Pei Bro, you’re thinking wrong."

"Go ahead, what is it?"

"Do you have any more good-looking friends?" Tang Xiaoqing didn’t beat around the bush.

Young Master Pei glanced over at Shu Juan...

One friend like that is more than enough. Do I have any more?

"Are you interested in him?"

"I’m not interested if he’s taken," Tang Xiaoqing replied, "Do you have any others?"

Young Master Pei chuckled: "Little Xiaoqing, are you treating me like a pimp?"

Tang Xiaoqing: "Do you have or not?"

Young Master Pei pointed at himself: "Me."

"..."

Tang Xiaoqing rolled her eyes, stood up, and bid farewell to Chuzheng.

Young Master Pei sat back down, somewhat melancholic: "Juan, do you think I’m handsome?"

Shu Juan was puzzled: "Hmm?"

"Am I handsome?" Young Master Pei turned his face side to side.

Before Shu Juan could answer, Chuzheng yanked him over protectively, watching Young Master Pei warily.

What the heck!

Want some forbidden romance with my Good Person Card?

This one’s mine!

Shu Juan, seeing Chuzheng’s protective stance, was a bit amused.

By the time Chuzheng and Shu Juan separated from Young Master Pei, it was already past midnight.

Shu Juan drove there, but had been drinking with Young Master Pei earlier, so Chuzheng took the wheel.

"Do you have a license?" Shu Juan stopped her.

"Sure." Chuzheng pulled out a driver’s license.

Shu Juan was speechless: "...When did you get it?"

"A few days ago."

Shu Juan: "..."

How come he didn’t know Chuzheng took a driver’s test?

Where did she find the time?

Chuzheng pushed Shu Juan into the car, and just as she was about to get in, a woman emerged and collapsed onto the car.

A few burly men rushed over, grabbed the woman and started dragging her away.

"Let go of me! Help!!"

The woman screamed and struggled.

"Get her out of here!"

"Help, help, I don’t know them, save me!" As the woman was dragged away, she suddenly grabbed onto Chuzheng’s clothes: "Help, save me!!"

Chuzheng tried to pull her clothes free, but the woman held on tightly.

The burly men turned to look at her, fierce and intimidating.

"..."

Scared to death!

Let go of me!!

The woman clung to Chuzheng’s clothes like a lifeline, her face full of pleading.

Shu Juan was ready to get out of the car, but Chuzheng pressed the door shut, locking it with a swift move.

She clenched her wrist, mentally recited several times to be a good person.

Someone needs help, step in and help out.

Go for it!

I can do this!

-

Red and blue lights illuminated the area; Chuzheng was recording her statement.

"You hit these people?"

"...Sort of."

"Why’d you hit them?"

"A woman was being grabbed, I was saving her."

"Where is she?"

"..."

I want to ask that too, where did she go!

After the fight, she turned her head, and the woman was nowhere in sight.

Unbelievable!

Where’s the basic trust between people!

Frustrating!

Chuzheng spent quite a while before being allowed to leave, and as she returned home with Shu Juan, she finally received a notification from the King’s Account.

[Congratulations, you’ve received one Thank-You Card.]

"..."

Okay.

She’s forgiven.

-

"Kiddo, did you shower before flopping onto the bed? I’ve told you several times not to lie down looking at your phone."

"You’re so annoying."

"Annoying me now?"

Chuzheng fell silent.

Shu Juan walked over and picked her up: "Go shower."

"You help me."

"I’ll-" Shu Juan choked on his own saliva, coughing a lot: "Stop kidding around, go shower."

He shoved Chuzheng into the bathroom, handing her a nightgown.

Once Chuzheng finished showering and came out, Shu Juan was half-reclined at the bed, a laptop resting quietly on his legs as he typed unhurriedly.

Chuzheng climbed onto the bed and into the space next to him, bringing an extra scent.

Chuzheng leaned over, wrapped his waist, and her gaze fell on the computer screen.

Shu Juan was chatting, nothing particularly interesting. Chuzheng glanced at it and withdrew her gaze.

Shu Juan closed the chat window, folded the laptop, and turned to Chuzheng: "Why did you lock the car door today?"

"Afraid you’d come out." Chuzheng replied, honestly.

"There were so many of them, it was dangerous for you."

"I can fight."

"..."

Shu Juan lay down, pulling Chuzheng into his embrace.

"Did you..." Shu Juan felt something was off, hesitantly asking, "Did you not wear anything inside?"

"You didn’t bring me anything," Chuzheng didn’t care, "It’s uncomfortable anyway, I’m not wearing it."

Shu Juan remembered he only brought her a nightgown...

He immediately stopped all his wild thoughts and restrained Chuzheng’s restless hands: "Sleep, you still have class tomorrow."

"Okay."

-

The next morning.

Chuzheng sat up in bed and immediately noticed blood on the sheets.

Blood...

Blood!!?!?

Chuzheng’s expression was blank for a few seconds.

"Shu Juan!"

Shu Juan, wearing an apron, stepped in from outside: "What’s wrong?"

"Did you do something to me while I was asleep last night?" But that didn’t seem right, if he did something she would know, unless he drugged her!!

Shu Juan’s face showed a brief panic: "I... didn’t do anything."

"Didn’t?" Then why are you panicking?!

"..." Shu Juan fumbled his words, leaning closer to her ear and whispered something.

Chuzheng was skeptical: "Just this?"

"What else?" Shu Juan’s expression was slightly embarrassed.

He’s a man full of vigor, holding a soft, tender girl, his reaction is normal.

Chuzheng pulled back the blanket, pointing at the blood on the sheet: "You didn’t..."

Shu Juan stared at that blood stain, after a while he said: "Kiddo, your... period must have started, right?"

Chuzheng twisted around, looking at the back of her skirt, there was indeed a slight mark.

Shu Juan moved forward and carried her to the bathroom: "I wouldn’t do such a beastly thing as take advantage of you while you’re asleep."
