Chapter 100: The Castle Invitation

Uh… go… to Gu Jiachen’s house?!

Upon seeing this sudden invitation from her archenemy, the black-haired loli immediately tensed up even more than when she had hundreds of people flooding her forum just moments ago. Her hands trembled as she slowly picked up her water glass and took a big gulp, only to nearly choke.

Cough, cough—cough—

Okay, she actually did choke.

Because this was just… too terrifying!

Come on, what’s going on? Why is he suddenly trying to take her home? Wasn’t he previously threatening her repeatedly about things like President Gu’s little dark room? Shouldn’t she only be dragged to his house if she didn’t behave? Wasn’t this supposed to be a last resort?

Ugh, how—how is it that she hasn’t even done anything yet and she’s already fast-forwarded to this? No way, absolutely not! She doesn’t want to be locked in a dark room like a caged bird… Would she be toyed with and then abandoned? Eventually abandoned? Tired of and then discarded?

Hiss—

Leaving aside whether he’d get tired of her, the most important thing was that she absolutely did not want to be toyed with by her archenemy. This—this was too much of a challenge to her dignity. No way, impossible!

So, after thinking it over, the black-haired loli gritted her teeth and made a firm decision: she absolutely could not fall for the perverted president’s trick. She couldn’t accept this invitation at all…

At least she couldn’t walk right into the trap, right? Being kidnapped was better than delivering herself to his doorstep.

A blush had crept onto the girl’s face at some point. A moment later, she silently typed:

【Zhou Ruoyu: Not going…】

【Zhou Ruoyu: Sorry, President Gu, I’m very busy! I’ve been quite tired from work lately.】

Zhou Ruoyu: If there’s something, you can contact me at my place!

After sending the message, Zhou Ruoyu took a deep breath. Phew—this should be a relatively good refusal, right? She gave a reason, didn’t completely reject meeting at her place, left Gu Jiachen some hope, and completely shut down the possibility of being kidnapped to a dark room!

Right… probably?

…

Hmm… Hmm?

After seeing the little rabbit’s triple refusal, Gu Jiachen tilted his head…

Ah, little rabbit doesn’t want to come? Just when Xue’er had gone to school to report, leaving the house empty, little rabbit doesn’t want to come…

It seemed little rabbit had no interest in him besides being a corporate spy.

The money he gave her apparently hadn’t been spent much, which really surprised Gu Jiachen. After all, the president initially thought that a girl willing to be a corporate spy at the risk of getting caught would have a strong obsession with money.

But now it seemed little rabbit had a kind of “as long as I’m fed and have games to play, I’m content” laid-back attitude. This made Gu Jiachen feel it was a bit troublesome. It appeared little rabbit was not obsessed with money, but deeply obsessed with her hatred and resentment toward him.

That won’t do~

He had to cultivate little rabbit’s habit of wearing gold and silver; otherwise, how could he make her more dependent on him?

So, he really had to flaunt his wealth in front of little rabbit. And that meant little rabbit absolutely had to come to his house!

Hmm…

Thinking this way, Gu Jiachen mused for a moment. The high-end apartment in the city wasn’t worth showing off. Why not directly take little rabbit to his “castle”~

He’d need to prepare it nicely for little rabbit.

With this in mind, Gu Jiachen lowered his head and then forcefully typed:

【Gu Jiachen: Tired? No problem. I’ll drive to pick you up~ But little rabbit, you’re definitely coming to this home~】

【Gu Jiachen: After all, the best way for little rabbit to rest is to be by her master’s side, right?】

【Gu Jiachen: I’ll prepare everything well for you and welcome you properly. Don’t worry~】

【Gu Jiachen: And, no refusing~】

…

Ugh… This—this!

What kind of weird reasoning was that? The best way for her to rest was obviously to go back to her own little rabbit den and just lie down!

Tch, it definitely wasn’t about being comforted by her master. Stupid perverted archenemy, really… Don’t think too highly of yourself, hey, who do you think you are?!

Ugh… But…

Seeing the classic “no refusing,” Zhou Ruoyu was instantly in tears. Help, she really was going to be kidnapped to a dark room now. What to do, what to do?

Was there still a way to refuse? Could she smash her phone and pretend to be unreachable? Neither really worked… Since her archenemy already knew her address, she couldn’t not go home. She might escape today but not tomorrow.

Help, system. Maybe she could buy gender-swap potion on credit and change back to cope? Since Gu Xue had apparently started school, she probably wouldn’t come looking for her for a while.

Ahhh… Would that work? Little Ti-chan, say something. If not, she’d never call her a brat again. Where’s the hint? She’d pressed the button so many times, why wasn’t it working? Please, to avoid being caught in a dark room, Ruoyu would do anything. Oh, right, she’d already asked for help once. The streaming task wasn’t finished yet, ugh…

Was she never going to finish asking for help?!

Damn it!

So, in the end…

The black-haired loli sighed, completely deflated. After a while, she thought it over and felt that if she went willingly, Gu Jiachen might actually treat her well. If she complied, there would be no dark room business.

On the other hand, if she kept hiding and resisting, she would very likely be kidnapped by her archenemy and locked in a dark room for strange corruptive training.

All in all, compliance meant survival, so she had to be obedient for now.

Even so, Zhou Ruoyu was still very uneasy. She felt this invitation was an “Hongmen Banquet” from her archenemy. It made her forget to complain or ask for help about the streaming issue. She just helplessly picked up her phone, edited the message repeatedly, and after a long while, finally agreed.

【Zhou Ruoyu: I understand…】

【Zhou Ruoyu: When? And where…】

【Zhou Ruoyu: If it’s close, I can go by myself; you don’t need to pick me up.】

【Gu Jiachen: No, no~ It’s a bit far. In the suburbs~】

【Gu Jiachen: I’ll come pick you up tomorrow morning. Remember to request leave~】

【Gu Jiachen: Dress up nicely~】

Such a familiar command…

But wait…

Sub… Suburbs?

Seeing this vague address, Zhou Ruoyu’s suspicion deepened. Wasn’t it supposed to be…? How could her archenemy live in the suburbs, so far from the company? Wouldn’t it be inconvenient for a big boss like him to commute?

Hiss—

Why did the feeling of a dark room grow stronger and stronger?! Help, was it too late to back out now?!
