Fate Trading System – Chapter 175

Plan A

Spirit Alliance 16

Lover

Su Xin was about to ask who had told Chu Qiu the news, when she was stunned by Chu Qiu’s last words.

Why be so deeply affectionate.

Actually, she probably just wants to sleep while holding me, seems like something’s not right with me, yet also seems like nothing’s wrong.

Chu Qiu heard Su Xin’s obvious pause on the other end, imagining her choked expression, and her eyes unconsciously carried a gentle smile.

This little hamster had a charm that made people relax, and because of the special message between them, Chu Qiu felt very comfortable when seeing her, as if able to put down all pretenses.

“Come back quickly.”

Chu Qiu repeated what she had just said, her voice traveling through the phone lines to a place thousands of miles away, stretching into a gentle tone.

“Okay.”

Su Xin said nothing else, just gave a response, then hung up the phone.

“Yu Dian’er.”

Su Xin called her assistant who lived next door.

“Boss, I’m here, what’s up?”

“Help me change my flight ticket, change our tomorrow morning’s flight to tonight’s, we’ll fly back tonight.”

“Huh? Why? Did something happen? Flying at night will be very tiring.”

“Just do it, nothing’s wrong.”

She just wanted to go back to see someone, or more precisely, to see a female wolf.

There wasn’t much to pack when she came, only brought one suitcase, all those skincare products were with the assistant, and she didn’t bring many clothes, after all it was just a quick trip to the film crew, returning in one day, so the suitcase was quite light.

Originally there was plenty of time, but after changing the flight tickets, they had to rush to the airport immediately.

Su Xin only said goodbye to the director alone, without disturbing anyone else, took her two assistants to the airport, and flew back home on the late-night flight.

It was two in the morning when the plane landed, Su Xin got off the plane.

Before Su Xin could sneak back to open the door and give Chu Qiu a surprise, she received a call from Chu Qiu.

“Why are you back? Wasn’t it agreed to be tomorrow morning’s flight?”

“You’re not asleep yet? How did you know I’m back?”

Su Xin had just gotten off the plane when she received the call, the timing was perfect.

“To ensure your safety, I installed GPS tracking on your phone. I wrote it in the contract before, though you probably didn’t see it. When your target location moved, I already discovered it, then immediately checked this flight. I’ve already sent someone to pick you up.”

“I was planning to give you a surprise, since you said you missed me, so I came back to see you.”

Su Xin felt a sense of loss from her unexecuted plan, she had wanted to see her boss’s surprised expression.

“I was already very surprised the moment you got on the plane. You must be tired from flying for several hours. Come back and take a bath, I’ve prepared the bathtub with water, waiting for your return.”

Chu Qiu sat on the bed holding her phone, not knowing what to say, her heart momentarily complex, but this surprise was indeed a surprise, she liked it very much.

“Boss has sent someone to pick us up. After the driver sends me back, let him take you two home, okay?”

“That’s fine, Boss. Everything according to Boss’s wishes.”

Yu Dian’er said with a grin, despite it being 2 AM, this girl still looked full of energy.

Su Xin had two life assistants in total, one called Xiao Yu and one called Yu Dian’er. Xiao Yu was the more steady type of girl, a reliable big sister figure, while Yu Dian’er was more lively but diligent in her work. Both were girls who weren’t afraid of hardship.

For convenience, the two girls lived together. When Su Xin checked their backgrounds, she learned both were in difficult situations but very hardworking girls who had basically settled in this place, with no relatives – in short, they were very ‘clean’.

There were too many dirty things in the entertainment circle. They say people can resist the temptation of money but can’t resist other threats. Generally, the more tight-lipped and clean an assistant is, the better.

The driver was already waiting outside the airport, Chu Qiu had timed it perfectly.

“Goodnight, Boss. If you need anything, call us, we’re on 24-hour standby.”

“Okay.”

Su Xin took the elevator to her home floor, and just as she was about to take out her keys to open the door, she found the door opening from inside.

“Welcome home.”

Chu Qiu seemed to have telepathy, knowing when she would arrive, but actually it was thanks to that GPS tracking. Chu Qiu smoothly took the suitcase, placed it in the living room, let Su Xin come in to change shoes, then closed the door.

“The bath is ready with some essential oils added. Go take a bath first, I’ve put your sleepwear in the bathroom.”

This wasn’t like a boss at all, clearly a very thoughtful housekeeper.

“Thank you, Boss.”

“You’re welcome.”

Because this trip was short, Yangyang hadn’t gone along. These past few days Chu Qiu had stayed here, occasionally feeding Yangyang.

“Cousin! You’re finally back! I missed you to death!”

Yangyang stood on the sofa, expressing his longing to Su Xin.

Su Xin went over to pat his head, then entered the bathroom.

After enjoying a comfortable bath, Su Xin picked up today’s sleepwear, and her face darkened halfway.

What the h*ll is this lousy sleepwear, it must be lingerie.

It wasn’t the separate top and bottom style, but rather a one-piece zipper type – just pull it down and instantly strip naked, very convenient.

Why does it feel like her boss is moving more and more in an erotic direction.

Though this sleepwear’s design was indeed quite cute.

How long will this sleepwear play continue before getting boring.

“Finished washing? Shall I blow-dry your hair?”

Although Chu Qiu ended with a question, she was holding a hairdryer with a smile, looking like she wouldn’t take no for an answer.

“Okay.”

Su Xin had short hair, not too much or too little, not difficult to dry. She sat on the chair like a primary school student while Chu Qiu stood behind her to blow-dry her hair.

“It’s too late to play with your phone, after your hair is dry, let’s go to sleep, okay?”

“Okay.”

Anyway, she was exhausted to the point of collapse, had been awake for a while, and now sitting here getting her hair dried, she was feeling drowsy again.

“Boss, why are you still awake so late, you weren’t specially waiting for me, were you?”

“I was working, working while waiting for you. I hope you don’t mind too much about your phone being monitored. I’m just worried about your safety, so I want to know where you go.”

“It’s fine.”

After all, she wasn’t doing anything illegal or disorderly, being monitored is being monitored, can’t say it’s monitoring, just continue as usual.

“Do you always work this late? Feels like you’re always working.”

“It’s okay, because I manage many things, so I’m quite busy.”

“Then did you often stay up late before?”

“Are you concerned about me? Yes, it’s not easy to make it in human society. Back then, to take over this company, I worked through nights almost constantly, but my efforts were worth such a huge reward, weren’t they?”

“You’re a great spirit, otherwise you would’ve collapsed long ago. If humans did this, they’d… they’d… die from overwork, right.”

“I’m not that easy to die, unless I’m seeking death.”

“Actually, I really envy you.”

Su Xin said softly, enjoying the comfortable scalp massage, feeling her eyelids getting heavier.

“Hmm? Envy what about me? My career success and youthful achievement?”

Although she wasn’t young anymore, but in human society, she was still considered young.

“You can live for such a long, long time.”

Su Xin previously had no intuitive feeling about lifespan until she died herself, then rushed through one world after another, struggling for her own survival – only then did she understand how wonderful it was to be able to live for a long time.

Chu Qiu didn’t speak, she gently brushed Su Xin’s hair and turned off the hairdryer.

Su Xin was almost asleep, changing from her initial proper sitting posture to lying limply on the chair.

Chu Qiu put away the hairdryer, came around to the front, and lifted her up horizontally.

The little hamster was light, seemingly weightless, obediently lying in her arms, her beautiful face making one’s heart melt completely.

“Twenty-five years is too short, it will become longer. I finally met you with such difficulty, how could I let you die so easily?”

Chu Qiu muttered to herself, placing the person on the bed.

Su Xin kept her eyes closed, though she had actually awakened the moment she was picked up.

Hearing these words, it seemed Chu Qiu had a way to make her live longer?

Chu Qiu turned off the lights and also lay down on the bed, habitually embracing the person in her arms.

She was taller than Su Xin, at 175cm. Actually, she could be even taller in human form, but considering that girls too tall in this world would attract attention and make some things inconvenient, she settled on 175cm. She’d be even taller in high heels – she didn’t really like looking up at others, so being a bit taller didn’t make her uncomfortable.

Su Xin was over ten centimeters shorter than her. Every time she looked up cutely at her, Chu Qiu felt her blood gauge emptied [血槽被清空 | xuě cáo bèi qīng kōng | gaming term meaning completely defeated/overwhelmed], and she fit perfectly in her embrace.

Because the sleepwear was a one-piece zipper style, it would be difficult to put hands inside like usual.

Chu Qiu naturally unzipped it and slipped her hand inside Su Xin’s clothes.

They slept together purely in the same bed.

The next morning when Su Xin got up, fragrant breakfast was already prepared.

The breakfast was covered to keep warm, and there was a note on the table left by Chu Qiu.

Chu Qiu’s handwriting wasn’t the delicate type typical of girls, but neither was it very wild, carrying very distinct personal characteristics, very beautiful – one would think the writer must be a very graceful person.

【Remember to eat breakfast. If it’s cold when you wake up, put it in the microwave to heat it up. Wait for me to come back at noon to cook for you. —Chu】

Although the reheated xiaolongbao weren’t as fresh as initially, they still had their unique taste. One bite in the mouth was full of happiness.

Simple white porridge and xiaolongbao – life is just like this.

Su Xin received a new script from Ling Tian, this time she would play the female lead, though it was a low-budget web drama, producing two episodes and airing one episode at a time, and following other countries’ models, possibly rewriting the ending at any time, with plot changes following audience wishes.

This was a gimmick, but whatever kind of gimmick it was, as long as it could attract people it was enough. Because it was low-budget, they couldn’t afford big stars – forget big stars, they couldn’t even afford second or third-tier stars. They could only use newcomers or veterans who weren’t very popular, but they must have one characteristic – they had to be good-looking.

These web dramas don’t have many requirements for actors. Some web dramas can indeed become very popular and attract attention. With good luck, they might even make an actor famous, but more web dramas end up “on the beach” [沙灘上 | shā tān shàng | idiom meaning unsuccessful], or the drama becomes popular but the actors don’t.

But the exposure rate is sufficient and efficiency is very high. Ling Tian originally planned to have Su Xin wait, but since the opportunity came knocking, why not take it?

The director of this low-budget web drama specifically came to ask Su Xin to film, interested in her recent buzz, or more precisely, her backing.

As for the script, it wasn’t one of those vulgar overused plots, which is why Ling Tian passed it to Su Xin to read.

The plot was actually very simple, with many elements, not monotonous, but inevitably a bit flowery [花 | huā | flashy/complicated].

The plot wasn’t adapted from any current works, it was the screenwriter’s original creation, but the created plot was similar to some popular web novels, with the selling point being satisfaction and coolness.

In a future era, the female protagonist plays an ancient martial arts holographic game, but while challenging a hidden boss level, she faints and wakes up to find herself transported with her game system into the ancient jianghu. The world setting is identical to the holographic game she played – if not for the lack of character names above people’s heads and NPC markers, this place would be no different from the game.

The female protagonist was already one of the top experts in the original game world, but after transmigrating becomes a rookie, challenging various bosses to level up on her journey to life’s peak.

The ending hasn’t been written yet, the screenwriter says it’s an open ending, to be decided based on audience wishes whether to return to the future space age or stay in the ancient jianghu.

When Chu Qiu returned at noon, she saw that rat sitting on the sofa watching mother-in-law dramas again, her temple involuntarily twitched.

“Is she in the room?”

“Yes, yes.”

Yangyang was a shut-in rat, didn’t like going out for walks. Moreover, this place was so high-end and large, if he ran out and got caught by unaware people, that would be disastrous. Rather than going out for walks, better to stay home watching mother-in-law dramas, or variety shows if nothing else. Yangyang had already watched Su Xin’s episode of “The Charmer” over ten times, saying it was to contribute to the ratings, going to great lengths for his cousin.

Yangyang worried anxiously, thinking if he didn’t care for his cousin, who would?

Su Xin felt this thinking was silly and amusing, but warm.

If Yangyang could become human, he would definitely be a big warm guy.

When Chu Qiu pushed open the door, she saw Su Xin intently reading the script, very seriously, while making notes with different colored pens.

Filming would start in a week, she planned to report to the crew two days early. This time it wasn’t an unimportant role, but the female lead.

“I heard from Ling Tian about this new script, how do you feel about it?”

“Not bad, looks quite amusing, the story is quite engaging. If it can be filmed well, it should be a pretty good drama.”

“After eating, let me look at the script.”

“Okay.”

The groceries weren’t bought by Chu Qiu herself, every day assistants bought them and handed them to her when she returned, guaranteeing 100% quality, very fresh.

“How about beer-braised duck, water spinach, and winter melon pork rib soup today?”

Two dishes and one soup were enough for the two of them. Although Su Xin was very fond of food and liked to eat, her stomach was limited, her appetite was limited, but Chu Qiu’s appetite was very large, eating almost everything clean at every meal, never leaving leftovers.

“Good, not eating lamb today?”

As a wolf, she would never tire of lamb, because for them it was the ultimate delicacy, just like cats eating fish.

“Didn’t we stir-fry some yesterday? But I saw you didn’t eat much, so I thought to try something different. Eating lamb every day would get tiresome.”

“You don’t need to consider me so much, just eat what you like. Actually, I want to eat lamb too, just got a bit tired of it.”

“Good girl, go back to the room and continue playing on your phone or reading the script. I’ll call you when the food is ready.”

Chu Qiu would always message Su Xin to tell her when she’d be back, so she could start cooking rice. Although Su Xin was terrible at cooking dishes, she could at least cook rice.

Su Xin ran back to her room. She had already read the script twice, just now was making annotations. Su Xin finished the last bit, then started playing with her phone.

Bai Qianqian was probably also resting at this time, eating boxed lunch at the film set.

Bai Qianqian: 【photo】 Today’s crew meal doesn’t have any meat at all, just bok choy and yellow vegetables.

Su Xin: Pff, poor you hahaha, I’m having beer-braised duck and pork rib soup today~

Bai Qianqian: Go away! As a female celebrity, why are you eating so much meat! Aren’t you afraid of getting fat! You should eat more vegetables like me!

One could say she was very righteous and not envious or jealous at all.

Bai Qianqian chatted while shoveling her boxed lunch, her heart flying to Su Xin’s home, wishing she could sit at the dining table eating those things together.

Su Xin: I’m not afraid lalala 【dog head emoji】

Bai Qianqian: When I’m freed this time, I must treat myself to a good meal.

Su Xin: Yes yes yes.

Bai Qianqian: The food probably isn’t cooked by you, right? You look like the type who’s clumsy, good at eating but not at cooking.

Su Xin: Bingo, someone cooks for me, a very very good person.

Bai Qianqian: I originally thought it was your cook, but hearing you talk like that, something seems off.

Su Xin: hhhh go eat your boxed lunch, when you’re done filming, if we have a chance to meet, I’ll treat you to a meal. I’m planning to take on a web drama.

Bai Qianqian: That’s good, anyway I believe you’ll definitely become popular. It’s just a matter of time, after all you’re so good-looking.

After all, you’re so cute.

“I might not be back for dinner tonight, remember to order takeout.”

“What’s wrong? Something to take care of?”

“Someone invited me to dinner, using work as an excuse several times already. It’s endlessly annoying. I’ve directly rejected him multiple times, very troublesome.”

Chu Qiu frowned, not hiding her emotions. Those persistent pursuers following her were like cockroaches that wouldn’t die – she had clearly rejected them, yet they still put on an act of undying love, extremely annoying.

“It shows Boss’s great charm.”

“Sometimes I really doubt they understand human language.”

That saying ‘a virtuous woman fears a persistent man’ is simply ridiculous. You need to consider who you’re dealing with. Some pursuers who think highly of themselves are even more amusing, with their inexplicable superiority complex, as if having some money and resources makes them impressive. Do they think she’s some gold digger or minor celebrity? She wanted to throw money in their faces. If not for maintaining her dignity, she would’ve cursed them out.

All that ‘patience brings clarity’, ‘if I persist, you’ll see my worth’, and ‘my liking you is my business and none of your concern’ – it’s simply exasperating. Yes, she has no right to interfere with others’ thoughts, they can like her, but can they not disturb her life?

Some resort to moral blackmail: how can you not like him when he likes you so much, has done so much for you, spent so much money on you?

What more after rejecting a confession? Even if he dies for me, I never asked him to do anything for me, and I have my own money, thank you.

If you don’t go when they invite you to dinner, they wait at the restaurant until closing – how devoted! People will say you’re arrogant, cold-blooded, ungrateful.

If you go, it’s a business relationship and you can’t directly snub them, others might think you’re giving them hope.

Even worse, in the circle there are some young masters or CEOs who take pride in getting her, very boring.

“Forget it, wait for me to come back and cook dinner. I’ll just go briefly, won’t eat anything. Or if you don’t want to eat at home, I can take you somewhere else.”

“Let’s eat somewhere else then, saves you from having to cook again, too troublesome.”

“Okay.”

Sometimes too much charm isn’t a good thing, always having annoying flies and mosquitoes appearing from nowhere, buzzing around.

After eating, Chu Qiu didn’t rush back to the company, but went into Su Xin and her room to read the script.

The guest room had basically been abandoned now, Chu Qiu had long moved into Su Xin’s master bedroom.

After Su Xin finished washing dishes and entered the room, Chu Qiu had already gone through the script roughly.

“Good, I can increase some investment. You go ahead and act freely. If the budget is too low, I’m afraid it won’t support some expenses, like props being too crude or insufficient promotion. I’ll discuss directly with the crew, don’t worry about it.”

“Boss, feels like I haven’t earned money for you yet, but you’ve already invested so much.”

Su Xin teased.

“It will come back in the future, I have this feeling. Moreover, you’re different, it’s worth it for you. Only you are different.”

Chu Qiu emphasized the last sentence, wanting to make sure the little hamster before her didn’t think she was this nice to everyone. She didn’t have the patience to serve others, she was used to being served. Even at her lowest point, she wouldn’t beg others – better to rely on oneself. In nature, prey never delivers itself to your mouth; you can only survive by constantly hunting.

“Okay, I’ll work hard to help you earn back the money, Boss. I think I understand why so many people want to pursue you now.”

“Oh?”

“So gentle, can cook, perfect temperament, and powerful abilities, simply… a perfect lover.”

The last four words were said very softly, bitten between lips with an ambiguous feeling.

“I’m not like this with others. If I’m to be a perfect lover, I’m only yours.”

“Because holding me helps you sleep well?”

“Not just that, want to try?”

“I don’t have experience.”

“Neither do I.”

“Try… let’s just try then.”

They looked at each other and smiled, a wordless understanding.

How to try? Just try like that.

Just adding another layer to their relationship – boss and subordinate, purely innocent bedmates, plus lovers.

If there was something extra to be felt, it would be a sense of constraint.

Giving you the right to constrain my freedom, restrict my actions, control my heart.

“Then come back early in the afternoon, I’ll wait at home for you to take me out for dinner.”

“Okay, wait nicely for me.”

Chu Qiu ruffled Su Xin’s hair, stopped at the door when about to open it.

“I seem to have forgotten something.”

“What?”

“Come here.”

Chu Qiu crooked her finger.

Su Xin seemed to understand what she wanted to do, obediently lifted her head to receive that sweet kiss.

Chu Qiu’s kissing technique was inexperienced, and so was Su Xin’s now. She couldn’t act like an experienced driver, that would break character, after all, she was supposed to be an innocent, cute, lively little hamster who didn’t understand worldly matters.

Their lips separated shortly after contact, then pressed together again.

“My technique doesn’t seem very good.”

Chu Qiu was rarely a bit nervous, her finger lightly touching Su Xin’s lips, caressing.

When kissing, when embracing, a thought inexplicably appears in the mind – this is exactly how it should be, this person is meant to be hers.

“It’s okay, I’ll practice with you.”

A blush appeared on Su Xin’s fair, delicate face, this was her uncontrollable natural reaction.

“I’m going, see you in the afternoon.”

“Mm-hmm.”

Yangyang stood on the sofa, covering his eyes with his rat paws.

Oh my, how shy.

Wait… why would a rat feel shy seeing two women kiss?

Perhaps it’s because love is just that beautiful, making people’s hearts suddenly flutter and feel embarrassed.

“Cousin, cousin, cousin, you two, you two, you two…?”

Yangyang ran back and forth in front of Su Xin, seeming very happy.

“Yes, us.”

“Wow! But I have an important question.”

“What question?”

“Her mother, that is, your mother-in-law, won’t give you a hard time, right? Do you need me to pass on some experience about mother-in-law relationships?”

“…Do you really have experience?”

Why would she need a rat to teach her about mother-in-law relationships? Very puzzling.

“Haven’t eaten pork but still seen pigs run [沒吃過豬肉還沒見過豬跑 | méi chī guò zhū ròu hái méi jiàn guò zhū pǎo | idiom meaning having indirect knowledge]? Although I’ve never been in love, I’ve seen plenty of romance on TV. I consider myself an expert in matters of the heart.”

Great, watching TV has made this rat silly.

“No need, cousin. Her mother isn’t here, probably no longer in this world. I don’t need to know about mother-in-law relationship principles.”

Su Xin politely declined, her thoughtful big cousin really went to too much trouble.

“Well then… but if you two lovebirds fight in the future, make sure to come pour your heart out to me. I’ll definitely help resolve it well, after all, you’re my cousin, my only relative in this world!”

…What?

They don’t have any blood relation, okay? One’s a rat, one’s a hamster, not even the same species, though maybe distant relatives. Cousin, have you forgotten we’re sworn siblings, cousin!

“We probably won’t fight.”

“Oh oh oh, that’s true, she’s a wolf. If she gets angry, eating you wouldn’t even be enough to fill the gaps between her teeth.”

Can we not be so bloody and violent?

It’s already a civilized law-abiding society, who still goes around eating people – no, eating spirits.

Harming one’s own kind violates the Spirit Alliance’s rules, punishable by death.

Su Xin called Ling Tian to tell her about Chu Qiu’s decision to increase investment.

“I see… anyway, Boss definitely knows better than me, Boss usually doesn’t make mistakes, let’s do whatever Boss decides. I have something to deal with here, let’s talk a bit later…”

“You damn tiger! If you don’t give my phone back, I’ll chop you up tonight!”

Su Xin heard a roar through the phone, she couldn’t mistake it – it was from Rabbit.

She seemed like an elegant and gentle lady in front of others, but always became very agitated before Ling Tian, even cursing.

Looks like the couple is fighting again.

“Hanging up now, I’ll call you back when she’s not angry with me.”

Ling Tian didn’t hide this from Su Xin at all; actually, he wished everyone under heaven knew Rabbit was his, so no one without eyes would come pursuing her.

“Okay.”

Having nothing else to do, Su Xin continued practicing acting in front of the mirror.

When she felt like the person in the mirror wasn’t herself anymore, Su Xin drank some water, went to the bathroom, then lay comfortably on the bed playing with her phone.

People at the company noticed Boss’s mood seemed especially wonderful today. Previously when they passed by, Boss always had a cold face with full intimidating aura, but today she actually wore a smile, seeming to be thinking about something wonderful.

“Boss looks like she’s in love, her whole person is radiating a sour smell [酸臭味 | suān chòu wèi | love-sick aura], I can even see pink bubbles around her.”

The former gossip reporter, now PR department employee, excitedly screamed in the internal group chat.

“You think you have special powers? Actually seeing pink bubbles around Boss? I think maybe Boss just closed a business deal, that’s why she’s in a good mood. Boss, such a high mountain flower wouldn’t be easily won over.”

Male employees indignantly said. Although they knew they had no chance with Boss – such an impressive woman could only be tamed by an even more impressive man, impossible for them – it didn’t stop them from treating Boss as their goddess. Men don’t just like weak women, they also admire strong women.

“With my woman’s sixth sense, I’m sure Boss is in love. I agree, although I certainly didn’t see any pink bubbles, but I smell the scent of love, ah, fragrant.”

PR department women generally had excellent writing skills. Sometimes when doing damage control, they could forcefully twist obvious intimate situations into other emotions, write black as white and white as black. Even when gossiping, they carried a particular sour tone.

“Boss is indeed in high spirits. Today her mouth’s upward curve is several degrees higher than usual. Actually, I don’t think it quite seems like finding a lover – no girlish shyness at all, still very cool.”

Others say when in love, even the strongest women show girlish shy expressions.

“Nonsense, why would Boss show that kind of shy expression in front of you? Think about Boss’s cold face, those wolf-like fierce eyes – if she showed shyness, it would really frighten people to death, okay?”

“Ahem, that’s exaggerating, Boss isn’t that fierce.”

Employees appeared to be working very seriously, but were actually chatting excitedly in the internal group.

Rabbit watched with great interest. After dealing with the tiger, she came straight to work, not expecting to see such gossip immediately.

What wolf-like fierce eyes – she’s actually a wolf, good observation.

But Rabbit took these gossips as mere jokes, no one knew better than her that Boss couldn’t possibly fall for someone. How could Boss go dating? Boss’s situation was different from hers and the tiger’s.

It’s actually hard to imagine what kind of person or spirit Boss would end up with. Those people say it needs a stronger man to tame Boss, but with Boss’s unrelenting personality, being tamed would certainly be unwilling – who could tame this proud lone wolf?

After spacing out briefly, Rabbit continued working, but just as she started her work, Boss called for coffee.

Rabbit brought coffee to the office. When putting it down and preparing to leave, she saw Chu Qiu looking at her with an expression of having something to say but holding back, very hard to describe.

???

What’s wrong? Were her kiss marks not hidden well? Did that stinky tiger do something again? Just wait till she gets home! Ahhhh why is Boss still staring at her like that? Is her makeup not done well? No, she always pays special attention to her makeup before leaving home. Maybe Boss doesn’t like the lipstick she’s wearing today?

Miss Rabbit’s mental activity was very rich, and the more nervous she got, the more bullet screen comments raced through her mind. Despite their species difference, after becoming lovers with the tiger, she wasn’t afraid of him, even becoming domineering and scolding like a shrew. But facing her boss was different – spine-chilling.

After all, Boss wouldn’t tolerate her antics like the tiger did, she’d dock pay without a word.

“Rabbit, I need your help with something.”

Chu Qiu finally spoke after watching Rabbit for a while.

Rabbit sighed in relief – so it was just asking for help. If that’s all, should’ve said so earlier. They’re so familiar, what’s there to be hesitant about?

“What is it? Boss, just tell me, whatever I can do for you, I’ll do it.”

“This is my USB drive, newly bought, nothing on it.”

Rabbit took the drive, waiting for Chu Qiu to continue.

So? What’s she supposed to do with a USB drive? Steal secrets?

“Now it’s time to test your assistant’s professional quality.”

“Yes! Boss!”

“Just casually download a few gigabytes of resources, only female-female instructional videos. Please categorize them properly, don’t include ones that are too violent or bloody, understand?”

“…Understood.”

Rabbit never imagined she’d one day help Boss download videos. Perhaps like those people said, Boss really is in love – though what they didn’t expect was that Boss’s partner is a woman.

Shocking! Entertainment company boss brazenly asks assistant to do such things…

The world is declining, wolves aren’t what they used to be.
