Chapter 31 : Patron, Please Keep Me 11 (1/2)
“Mr Lu, why don’t you keep me?” Shi Sheng was still leaning onto Lu Qingyun as she spoke in an even tone. Xia Man who just so happened to be walking past her, overheard this, causing her to nearly trip over herself.
Xia Man looked strangely at the woman who seemed to be plastered to the man’s chest right now. ‘Why is this Jiang Wan such a weirdo?’
“Go and eat more papayas[1] and maybe I’ll consider.”
‘Papayas?’ Shi Sheng looked at her chest before her expression turned sour. ‘This bitch just called my boobs small?! Imma kill him!!!’
Lu Qingyun pushed Shi Sheng aside as he smiled threateningly. “Stop following me or I’ll make sure you die a horrible death.”
“No way, Su Yixiu handed you over to me so I have to take care of you.If I promise something, I’ll carry it out and do it very well.” Shi Sheng caught him. If she let him run now, how was she going to find him again?
“Even if you do this he won’t like you. He likes men.”
‘Likes men? I hadn’t thought Su Yixiu was that kind of person!
…Wait, why would I want him to like me though?’
Shi Sheng was confused and by the time she reacted, Lu Qingyun had already escaped from her grasp and walked towards a crowded area. Shi Sheng’s face darkened as she chased after him.
“Lu Qingyun, at least consider it ah! Look I am very useful; I can manage stocks, I can open businesses, I can earn money, I can help you teach people lessons! If you keep me, you’ll be marrying over a winner in life! You wouldn’t be able to find such an awesome person like me even if you lit a lantern[2]! Once you pass this shop, there won’t be any more villages[3]!”
#When My Host Doesn’t Want Face, She’s Invincible#
Young Master Lu completely ignored Shi Sheng’s self-advertisement, though he didn’t chase her away at least. Those eyes however, were shining with a mischievous light, as if he was planning something.
Shi Sheng was still a bit guarded but for the sake of the ‘Toss A Thousand Gold’ mission, she had to harden her scalp. She felt like getting Lu Qingyun to spend money on her would be harder than earning her own money, giving it to him and having him spend it on her!
Lu Qingyun walked down the hotel corridor, followed closely by Shi Sheng. When he heard the voice from behind him, the laughter in his eyes thickened.
“Lu Qingyun, though my chest is a bit on the small side, but it can still grow. Even if it can’t, this is already not bad!”
“I’m poor, I can’t afford to keep you.” Lu Qingyun resisted the urge to laugh as he replied in a ‘serious’ voice.
Shi Sheng “…”
‘Like hell you’re poor!’
‘As the most OP villain, your background can’t get any more impressive okay?! How can you say you say you can’t do it[4]?! Ah no, say you’re poor!’
Just as Shi Sheng was stringing together a speech on how immoral it was for a tycoon to pretend to be poor, Lu Qingyun stopped suddenly as he pulled Shi Sheng into the emergency escape corridor.
“Lu-”
“Say one more word and I won’t keep you even if you beat Su Yixiu to death.”
The Su Yixiu who had been inexplicably pulled into this, “…”
‘The hell did it have to with me?!’
Shi Sheng weighed her options for a bit before choosing to obediently shut her mouth and look outside through the window in the door.
There were currently two people standing on the other side of the door. It was Xi Mo and Xia Man. Xia Man seemed like she wanted to leave but Xi Mo was preventing her from doing so. Their voices weren’t that loud so naturally they couldn’t be heard through the door.
But Xia Man quickly managed to free herself from his grasp and ran off. Xi Mo punched the wall in frustration and rage before stalking off angrily.
‘Oh right, I forgot. There was going to be a good show tonight.’ Shi Sheng thought before poking Xi Mo and asked him a question she clearly knew the answer to, “You’re enemies with Xi Mo?”
Lu Qingyun opened the door to leave while smiling brightly, “Isn’t he your boss? Are you helping your boss gather intelligence?”
“I don’t dare to have this kind of boss.” Shi Sheng spoke with distaste as her eyes rolled. “Why don’t you come and steal me over to your company?”
“What would I do that for? You don’t even have any aesthetic value as a flower vase[5].”
