Chapter 147 : Eat Your Medicine, You Dunce! 28 (2/2)

Ji Xiaoyu hugged her knees as she sobbed inside the bathroom. ‘Why…? Why is it like this? I can’t accept this…’

……

Three years later, a woman who was pushing onto some luggage stood in the middle of a bustling airport. Her gaze landed on the young man behind her.

“So slow—didn’t you eat anything for breakfast[4]?!” The woman appeared rather impatient as she snapped at him.

The young man lifted his head slightly before quickening his pace. Once he caught up to her, he responded in a light voice, “No. You didn’t prepare a meal for me this morning.”

Her lips twitched. Through gritted teeth she spoke, “Do you really think I’m your babysitter, Fu Qin?!”

Fu Qin shook his head then answered seriously, “We’re already engaged. You’re my fiancée.”

Shi Sheng’s stomach ached. ‘I was forced to by System, okay?!’

These three years abroad, System had practically bullied her into completing up to the 99th mission in the chain quest.

And the 99th chain quest was to get engaged with Fu Qin. ‘These quests are fucking endless! What next? Are you going to make me have babies with him?!’

[If the Host is willing, I can add this Quest for you.] The long-absent System popped out to remind people of its presence.

‘Fuck off! Who the hell wants to make babies with Fu Qin, this imbecile?!’

“Where are the people picking us up?” Shi Sheng pushed the luggage out of the airport to be greeted by the sight of a bustling metropolis. The only thing missing was those bodyguards who had returned earlier.

Fu Qin blinked innocently as he gave a very honest reminder, “You didn’t call them.”

“Didn’t I get you to inform them?” Before they had left, she had reminded him many times already!

“I don’t remember the number.” Fu Qin’s expression remained innocent.

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘Well isn’t that just dandy? Fu Qin, you bastard!’

It wasn’t too hard to get a taxi at the airport. But Fu Qin, this asshole, seemed to be able to find fault in anything. If the driver was too ugly, he wouldn’t get on. If the car was too old, he wouldn’t get on. If the smell was too bad, he wouldn’t get on. If he didn’t like the decorations, he wouldn’t get on.

By the time they had tried ten cars, Shi Sheng simply entered a car and flung her ultimatum at him, “Get on or not, it’s your choice. If you won’t get on, you can just stay here then.”

Fu Qin frowned and dithered around for a bit before reluctantly boarding.

“Regal Pointe.” Shi Sheng recited an address. This was the location of the apartment Shi Sheng had bought earlier. Since she had already gotten the company to send people over to clean the place up earlier, it was fine to just move in now.

Fu Qin brought the luggage in, then started nit-picking as soon as he saw the interior, “The colour theme’s too dark, change it. The decorations are gaudy, change it. Don’t like the patterns on the rugs, change it. The tea set looks ugly—”

“Fu Qin! Do you believe if you continue quibbling, I’ll toss you out?!” Shi Sheng’s threat came from further inside.

Fu Qin pouted. “Then I guess I’ll just have to make do.”

“Oh no, I wouldn’t dare to trouble you {respectful, sarcastic} to make do! I’ve already contacted your steward. They’re coming over to fetch you in a bit.”

‘I have had enough with living with this fellow! Fucking hell! Who the fuck is able to serve a fellow who gets picky with the bowl when he eats?!’

Hearing her words, he immediately entered and shut the door before carrying the luggage into the bedroom. He unpacked Shi Sheng’s clothing and diligently placed them in the wardrobe.

And put his own clothes too while he was at it.

[1] Take advantage of someone else when they are going through a crisis.

[2] Seek opportunities in tumultuous times.

[3] A large entity can be knocked over as long as there are enough people who want to do so.

[4] She’s implying he’s being weak. Since Asian logic goes: eat -> energy -> strength

I don’t subscribe to that, but my parents do…
