Chapter 137: Smelly

Chi Li’s expression grew a little worse after hearing it.

Liu Qiu noticed everything and could not help sighing inwardly—Chi Li was truly simple; every emotion was written plainly on her face.

Chi Li cautiously glanced at Liu Qiu, then slowly shifted closer to her seat.

Being closer meant the scent belonging to Miss Liu Qiu became stronger at the tip of her nose.

It smelled so good.

Chi Li’s cheeks grew slightly warm.

She was not a pervert.

She absolutely could not let Miss Liu Qiu discover something like this.

Liu Qiu did not know how to be considered a qualified patron.

She simply took Chi Li to eat good food and bought her clothes to wear.

Chi Li rarely spoke and seldom used her phone to type.

She was a quiet companion.

After wandering around like that for a while, the sun gradually began to set.

Liu Qiu said, “Where do you live?”

“It’s getting dark. I should take you home.”

Chi Li sat in the back seat, clutching the seatbelt.

Wasn’t Miss Liu Qiu going to do something to her?

Although this was her first time being kept, her cousin Wang Tiantian worked in the entertainment industry.

So Chi Li knew a little about this kind of arrangement.

At night, the patron would usually sleep with their lover.

But Miss Liu Qiu had not mentioned such a request.

Did that mean she had not taken a liking to her?

Chi Li lightly pressed her lips together.

She was tangled in hesitation about whether she should bring it up herself.

But she had never done such things before.

If she failed to serve Miss Liu Qiu well, what if Miss Liu Qiu got angry?

When Liu Qiu saw that Chi Li remained silent, she asked again, “Chi Li, tell me your address.”

Chi Li turned her head and stared at Liu Qiu.

Her expression gradually became aggrieved.

She did not want Miss Liu Qiu to be angry.

Chi Li did not speak.

Liu Qiu could not understand what Chi Li had thought of again to show such an expression.

Liu Qiu pinched the bridge of her nose and frowned, looking somewhat impatient.

“Stop looking so aggrieved all the time.”

“I didn’t scold you, didn’t hit you, and I definitely didn’t touch you.”

“You insisted on following me, and now after signing the contract you’re acting wronged?”

Chi Li pressed her lips together and typed on her phone.

[Miss Liu Qiu, why do you want me to go home?]

Liu Qiu carefully considered that sentence.

After a moment, she suddenly understood.

Chi Li wanted a new place to live.

She had seen scenes like that on television before.

Patrons would arrange houses for their lovers so they could move in.

That way it would be convenient to have s*x whenever they wanted.

Liu Qiu started searching through the original owner’s memories to see whether she had arranged a residence for Shen Yiwan.

She found it.

But Shen Yiwan had refused.

The original owner loved that first love very much, so naturally she had not forced Shen Yiwan to move in.

It seemed that patrons really were supposed to prepare houses.

Liu Qiu thought about it for a long time and finally found a suitable place.

The original owner owned many properties.

Among them was a large apartment in the city center.

The surrounding area was a bustling commercial district.

It was very suitable for living.

After figuring it out, Liu Qiu first told the driver the address, then said to Chi Li, “Alright, I understand what you mean.”

Chi Li typed again.

[Miss Liu Qiu, will you dislike me for being like this?]

Chi Li nervously watched Liu Qiu, afraid to see even the slightest trace of negative emotion in her eyes.

But there was none.

Miss Liu Qiu’s expression did not change at all.

Liu Qiu said, “Why would I dislike that?”

Chi Li had made it clear from the beginning that she wanted money.

Now asking for a house was quite normal.

Chi Li had not done anything bad.

She simply wanted money.

Whether to give it or not depended entirely on Liu Qiu.

However, this also made Liu Qiu realize something.

Chi Li was simply too polite.

The streetlights gradually lit up.

Liu Qiu’s car eventually drove into a luxury residential complex.

Chi Li secretly glanced at Liu Qiu again and again.

Had Miss Liu Qiu understood what she meant?

Although she had never done it before, she would learn very quickly when bathing.

Thinking of that, Chi Li clenched her hands.

She would make Miss Liu Qiu feel comfortable.

However, unexpectedly, Miss Liu Qiu had no intention of doing anything with her.

Liu Qiu stayed at the doorway in her wheelchair.

After setting Chi Li’s access permissions, she instructed, “You’ll live here from now on.”

“When I have time, I’ll come see you.”

After saying that, Liu Qiu left with the lawyer and driver who had carried in the things she bought for Chi Li.

She did not even look at Chi Li again.

Chi Li opened her mouth, wanting to call out to Liu Qiu.

But the moment she tried to use her vocal cords, she remembered she was mute.

She could not speak.

Chi Li pinched her fingers.

After Liu Qiu disappeared from sight, she entered the house listlessly.

The apartment was very large.

But it was also empty.

Was she going to live here?

Miss Liu Qiu had arranged for her to live here and said she would come visit when she had time.

But nothing had happened between them.

Would Miss Liu Qiu really agree to her request if she stayed like this?

She did not only want money.

She also needed the best doctor.

Chi Li fell into confusion.

She did not know what she should do next.

She feared that if she kept clinging to Miss Liu Qiu, Miss Liu Qiu would find her annoying.

Although Miss Liu Qiu appeared fierce on the surface but gentle inside, she might not tolerate her forever.

Chi Li stood in the enormous room thinking for a long time.

Finally, she decided something.

But first, she had to go to the hospital to see her mother.

---

That night, Liu Qiu lay on her bed.

She first tried transferring two hundred thousand yuan.

It succeeded.

Then she attempted a second transfer.

It failed.

It seemed that this world also had transaction limits.

But it did not matter.

Liu Qiu called the original owner’s secretary and instructed, “Use my account to transfer ten million yuan to Chi Li.”

The original owner had been a wealthy second-generation heir.

She also had people who handled personal matters for her.

Liu Qiu referred to them as secretaries.

The lawyer would probably inform the secretary anyway.

So Liu Qiu simply stated it directly.

A voice from the other end agreed.

Liu Qiu hung up and let out a breath of relief.

Chi Li’s situation should be fine now.

But honestly, if Chi Li were willing, Liu Qiu would rather be friends with her.

Speaking of which, she had not sent Shen Yiwan a message today.

She had been busy dealing with Chi Li’s matters.

Hmm…

The script Shen Yiwan wanted.

She should look it up.

Liu Qiu scrolled through her phone and once again saw a large amount of Shen Yiwan’s scandals online.

She might as well deal with those too.

Thinking this, Liu Qiu called the secretary again and instructed them to suppress Shen Yiwan’s scandals.

The secretary replied that it would be handled tonight.

After hanging up, Liu Qiu frowned.

She had forgotten to tell the secretary to get the script for “Feng Yue Ru Ge” for Shen Yiwan.

Forget it.

She would look into it herself first.

She had already called the secretary twice today.

If she needed to call again, she would do it tomorrow.

For the first time, Liu Qiu truly experienced the joy of being rich.

Whatever she wanted could simply be ordered and someone would handle it.

Liu Qiu searched for information about Feng Yue Ru Ge and began reading.

It told the story of two sisters.

There was only a brief synopsis online.

But the project had huge popularity.

It was being directed by a famous director and was currently casting roles.

Shen Yiwan had asked for the script but did not specify a role.

For someone with the original owner’s identity, obtaining the script should not be difficult.

But as for a role, that director did not lack money.

He probably would not be swayed by her wealth.

Fortunately, she only needed the script.

Thinking this, Liu Qiu quietly sighed in relief.

But…

Was Shen Yiwan a little foolish?

Just for a script, their relationship had already progressed from holding hands to hugging.

Night deepened.

The entire city of A was shrouded in darkness.

Drunk people staggered toward their homes.

“Let’s go again tomorrow.”

“Okay, okay. I need to turn right. See you tomorrow.”

After parting from the group, a man walked alone along a street illuminated by dim yellow streetlights.

Tall tree shadows lined the roadside.

When the night wind blew, the shadows swayed like clawing ghosts ready to break free from a cage.

Alcohol dulled a person’s nerves.

The man’s vision was blurred.

Seeing a dark figure standing motionless ahead, he spat and belched drunkenly.

“Damn it, why are you blocking my way?”

The drunk staggered closer.

The nearer he got, the clearer he saw.

When he realized it was a woman with long curly hair, his expression grew even more vicious.

“Move! Stop blocking me!”

The drunk was annoyed.

Seeing that she still did not move after he cursed at her, he reached out to push her.

But before his hand could touch her, a cold hand grabbed his wrist.

So cold.

The drunk instantly sobered.

Such a freezing temperature could not belong to a normal person.

He struggled and opened his mouth to scream.

But in the next moment, another hand came from behind and gripped his neck, preventing him from making any sound.

The drunk widened his eyes.

When the woman raised her head, his fear reached its peak.

Red.

Red eyes—

---

“Bang—!”

A prop cup was violently knocked to the ground by Shen Yiwan.

She stepped on Zhou Ran’s hand, her expression extremely vicious.

“Zhao Shuang’er, impressive.”

“Song Huai actually broke off his family’s arranged marriage with mine for you.”

Tears hung at the corners of Zhou Ran’s eyes, trembling but not falling.

She clenched her teeth, looking both resilient and pitiful.

Shen Yiwan twisted her high heel and sneered.

“Very good.”

“I’d like to see how long you can endure.”

Her demeanor pushed arrogance and cold beauty to the extreme.

Wang Tiantian looked at the monitor and sighed in admiration.

Ever since Liu Qiu had appeared, Shen Yiwan’s acting seemed as though her meridians had been unblocked.

Her performances had become exceptionally good.

To be honest, the label of “vase actress” should be removed from Shen Yiwan.

Perhaps the first few days had only been an adjustment period.

Once she adapted, her acting skills improved dramatically.

“Cut! That take passed. Everyone take a break.”

Shen Yiwan lifted her heel off Zhou Ran’s hand and bent down, extending her hand.

“Sorry about that.”

“I didn’t hurt you, did I?”

In front of so many people, Zhou Ran could not refuse Shen Yiwan’s gesture.

Especially since Liu Qiu was still here.

Grinding her teeth secretly, she grabbed Shen Yiwan’s hand and allowed herself to be pulled up.

“Senior Shen really has great acting skills,” Zhou Ran said with a stiff smile.

Shen Yiwan covered her mouth and laughed softly.

“My acting is indeed very good.”

Zhou Ran said, “…Heh.”

“Shen Yiwan, come here.”

Liu Qiu’s voice called from a distance.

Shen Yiwan glanced over, then turned to Zhou Ran.

“Your sweetheart is calling me.”

“I’ll go first.”

Zhou Ran was full of suppressed anger.

Shen Yiwan had not actually hurt her, but that scene had been humiliating.

And it had happened right in front of Liu Qiu.

Liu Qiu had never liked her to begin with.

Now it was probably impossible to cling to her favor.

Shen Yiwan walked over in high heels and stopped in front of Liu Qiu.

She was already tall.

With the addition of thin high heels, her aura became even more imposing.

When she looked down at someone, the sense of superiority was extremely obvious.

“What is it?”

Shen Yiwan’s tone was neither warm nor cold.

If one listened carefully, there was even a trace of impatience.

Liu Qiu moved the control lever of her wheelchair.

“Come with me.”

Shen Yiwan glanced over Liu Qiu.

“Fine.”

The two walked one after the other toward the lounge.

Zhou Ran watched them, a glint flashing in her eyes.

She secretly took a photo with her phone.

Shen Yiwan really had no sense of caution.

No wonder the internet was filled with scandals about her.

It was not only Zhou Ran watching Liu Qiu and Shen Yiwan.

Chi Li was also watching.

Last night she had gone to the hospital to see her mother.

The doctor said the condition had worsened.

And the cause still could not be found.

Additionally, the medical fees were due.

Chi Li had only a little over one hundred yuan in her account.

She simply had no money to pay.

And she could not possibly ask her cousin’s family for help again.

They had already helped her and her mother so much.

Chi Li could not think of any other solution.

She could only open her phone and consider asking Miss Liu Qiu if she could give her some money first.

But when she opened her phone, she discovered the two hundred thousand yuan transfer from Miss Liu Qiu.

And her bank card had also received ten million yuan.

Yet she had done nothing for Miss Liu Qiu.

Still, after hesitating, she eventually used the money to pay the hospital fees.

Because of that, she did not dare send Miss Liu Qiu a message.

Nor did she dare face her.

After feeling miserable the entire night, Chi Li decided to calm down before going to see Miss Liu Qiu.

So today she followed Wang Tiantian to the filming set to do odd jobs.

But in the afternoon, Miss Liu Qiu arrived.

However, Miss Liu Qiu did not notice her.

Her gaze remained fixed on the beautiful actress named Shen Yiwan.

Wang Tiantian had told her before.

Shen Yiwan was another person Miss Liu Qiu was keeping.

So beautiful.

So mature and charming.

Chi Li looked at her own rough hands.

Then she looked down at her dirty clothes.

Slowly curling her fingers inward, she followed in the direction where Liu Qiu and Shen Yiwan had disappeared.

---

After entering the room, Shen Yiwan closed the door.

Leaning against it, she looked down at Liu Qiu in her wheelchair.

“Go ahead.”

“If there’s nothing important, try not to appear in front of me.”

Liu Qiu frowned, looking angry.

“Shen Yiwan, can you stop being so mean to me?”

“What’s wrong with me liking you?”

Shen Yiwan chuckled.

Her smile was meaningful.

Liu Qiu felt a chill run down her back.

Shen Yiwan’s smile looked mischievous and a little wicked.

Liu Qiu pressed her lips together, took the script from behind her, and handed it over.

“This is the female lead script for Feng Yue Ru Ge.”

“You only asked me to get the script.”

“You didn’t say which role, so I just took one.”

Shen Yiwan raised an eyebrow.

Liu Qiu was indeed very useful.

But she still mocked her.

“Couldn’t you give it to me privately?”

“Do you think I don’t already have enough scandals?”

Liu Qiu turned her eyes away, her expression not very pleasant.

“I’ve already suppressed your scandals.”

Shen Yiwan stared at the top of Liu Qiu’s head.

She was genuinely surprised.

Taking out her phone, she searched her name.

Just as Liu Qiu had said, the scandals had really disappeared.

Shen Yiwan smiled.

“Not bad.”

Liu Qiu nodded.

“Alright then, I’ll go—”

Before she finished speaking, the system interrupted her.

[Host, you forgot to ask for the reward.]

Liu Qiu really had forgotten.

But after the system reminded her, she immediately remembered.

Liu Qiu looked up at Shen Yiwan.

“I’ve done what you asked.”

“You promised me something.”

“Now it’s your turn.”

Shen Yiwan bent down and hugged Liu Qiu.

A human body was soft and warm.

Blood flowed beneath the skin.

Fresh human blood.

[Eh? Why is Shen Yiwan so cold?]

Liu Qiu’s inner voice entered Shen Yiwan’s mind.

Shen Yiwan’s eyes darkened for a moment.

She lowered her gaze toward the exposed neck in front of her.

Her lips parted slightly.

Her fangs seemed to be lengthening.

[But in this weather, hugging her is actually nice and cool.]

Shen Yiwan curled her lips and released Liu Qiu.

“Is that enough?”

Liu Qiu wanted to say yes.

But as a devoted simp, she could only say,

“Only for such a short time?”

Shen Yiwan took a tissue and lightly wiped her fingers.

“Liu Qiu, did you forget?”

“I have mild mysophobia.”

“I endured my disgust to hug you for that long.”

“Instead of thanking me, you complain that it was too short.”

“Are you pushing your luck?”

Liu Qiu said gloomily,

“I understand.”

“Then what else do you need?”

“I want to touch you more.”

Shen Yiwan tossed the script back into Liu Qiu’s arms.

“Have someone deliver it to me tonight.”

“Or mail it.”

Liu Qiu placed the script back into the small pocket on her wheelchair.

Shen Yiwan put her hand on the doorknob.

“If I get the chance to audition for the female lead, I’ll reward you with a kiss next time.”

Click.

The door opened.

Shen Yiwan looked at the person standing outside and sneered.

“A filthy little puppy.”

Chi Li did not understand why Shen Yiwan said that about her.

But it did not matter.

What she really wanted was to see Miss Liu Qiu.

Besides, she also disliked the smell on this celebrity Shen Yiwan.

It was unpleasant.

Even perfume could not hide the scent of blood.

Chi Li walked to the other side and looked eagerly at Liu Qiu.

Gradually, her face turned pale.

She smelled it.

Miss Liu Qiu’s body carried Shen Yiwan’s scent.

They had been in very close contact just now.
