Chapter 141: I want it

In reality, Chi Li’s thoughts were very far from Liu Qiu’s guesses.

She did not care whether she was a substitute or not.

What she cared about was that she was not that person, yet she had relied on a face similar to that person’s to do such things to Miss Liu Qiu.

Miss Liu Qiu must think she was a very bad person.

Not only trying to trade her body for money, but also taking advantage of someone in danger.

She would definitely be hated, right.

The thought of being hated by Miss Liu Qiu made her chest feel tight and painful.

Just imagining it made it hard for her to breathe.

When Miss Liu Qiu entered earlier, her expression had already looked impatient.

She could not hear Miss Liu Qiu’s voice and did not know what she was thinking.

Chi Li knelt naked on the bed, waiting for Liu Qiu to come out of the bathroom.

Even though she had cried for a long time, the thought of being hated still made tears fall continuously.

When Liu Qiu walked out of the bathroom, the first thing she saw was Chi Li kneeling on the bed, constantly wiping away her tears, looking like she had cried extremely hard.

Liu Qiu: “…”

Chi Li was, after all, only a child who had just reached adulthood.

Wang Tiantian had once mentioned that she had no parents.

On top of that, Chi Li was mute.

It was easy to imagine that her childhood had not been good.

A person’s environment shapes their personality.

Chi Li cried so easily that she was probably the sensitive type who tended to overthink things.

Being treated as someone’s substitute must have hurt a lot.

This matter was indeed Liu Qiu’s fault.

Liu Qiu let out a breath and walked to Chi Li’s side.

“Why are you still here?”

“Didn’t I tell you to go to the room next door?”

Although she had done something wrong, according to her current character setting she could not show Chi Li any kindness.

“If you want something, tell me tomorrow.”

“I’m tired today.”

Chi Li raised her head.

Her eyes were red and swollen, and she could not hear Miss Liu Qiu’s voice.

Did Miss Liu Qiu really hate her now?

Chi Li moved slightly.

She reached out, grabbed the phone on the bedside cabinet, and started typing.

– Miss Liu Qiu, do you hate me?

With Chi Li’s tear-stained face, the sentence looked especially pitiful.

Liu Qiu felt slightly puzzled.

She had not said anything about hatred, had she?

Sure enough, Chi Li was someone who liked to overthink things.

Liu Qiu pinched the bridge of her nose and called out, “Chi Li.”

Chi Li stared at Liu Qiu and tightened her grip on the phone.

“I don’t hate you.”

Just a short sentence instantly brightened Chi Li’s mood.

She wiped away her tears and quickly typed another line on her phone, then looked at Liu Qiu with shining eyes.

Liu Qiu glanced at it.

It read: Miss Liu Qiu, would you be happier if you treated me as Zhao Duo? I don’t mind being someone’s substitute.

Liu Qiu fell silent.

Her ears, hidden beneath her hair, quietly turned red.

It was awkward for no reason.

That drug had really been too terrifying.

Zhao Duo was her good friend.

Did this count as fantasizing about her?

How would she face Zhao Duo when she went back in the future?

Realizing her thoughts had gone astray, Liu Qiu curled her fingers.

No, that was not the point right now.

Who had taught Chi Li to think like this—willingly becoming someone else’s substitute?

But if Chi Li was not crying because of being treated as a substitute, then why had she cried the whole time?

After all, she was the one who had been…

Liu Qiu only wondered for a moment before pushing the thought away.

She would not ask such questions.

Her gaze fell back on Chi Li’s phone.

Liu Qiu responded to the message.

“That person is my friend.”

“You and her are not the same person.”

“You don’t need to think of yourself as a substitute.”

After hearing that, Chi Li felt a bit disappointed.

After all, she had only been relied on by Miss Liu Qiu because she looked similar to that person.

Chi Li’s emotions were always very obvious.

Whether happy or sad, everything showed clearly on her face.

Disappointment was no exception.

Liu Qiu saw it clearly, which left her somewhat confused about why Chi Li was unhappy again.

Chi Li typed another sentence.

– Miss Liu Qiu, can we still do things like that in the future?

Liu Qiu felt dizzy reading it.

They had just finished doing it, and Chi Li was already thinking about it again.

Although Chi Li was not as insatiable as those monsters, and she was very obedient—stopping when told to stop—when she actually did it she had been extremely intense.

In Liu Qiu’s hazy memory, Chi Li had licked her entire body.

Even her toes had not been spared.

Like a dog.

Liu Qiu frowned and showed a look of disgust.

“We’ll talk about it later.”

“I’m tired now and need to sleep.”

Chi Li climbed down from the bed.

Without even putting on clothes, she began rummaging around the room.

She found a clean bedsheet, quickly replaced the dirty one, then looked at Liu Qiu eagerly as if waiting for praise.

Liu Qiu’s eyelashes trembled slightly.

She coughed lightly.

“Alright.”

“You can leave now.”

‘Stop looking at me like that. Why are you like a puppy?’

Chi Li blinked.

She heard Miss Liu Qiu’s inner thoughts again.

It really seemed like she was not hated.

A thought suddenly rose in Chi Li’s heart.

She quickly typed another message.

– Miss Liu Qiu, can I sleep with you?

Liu Qiu refused without hesitation.

“No.”

Chi Li typed again.

– Really not? Please, Miss Liu Qiu.

Even though she could not hear Chi Li speak, her expression made it obvious she was acting coquettishly.

Liu Qiu thought about it.

Chi Li was young, so acting spoiled was normal.

‘Forget it…’

Liu Qiu’s expression looked unpleasant.

She sat on the bed and looked at Chi Li coldly.

“Fine.”

“Go take a shower.”

After saying that, Liu Qiu lay down.

‘Why am I so soft-hearted!’

Liu Qiu knew she was not a hard-hearted person.

But only when facing someone like Chi Li did she realize how soft-hearted she could be.

She simply had no way to deal with Chi Li.

Chi Li smiled shyly.

Miss Liu Qiu was really kind.

She liked Liu Qiu very much.

Her mother had also been very kind to her, but because of work she was always busy, sometimes forgetting things Chi Li told her.

Her cousin’s family treated her fairly well too, but they always saw her as a mute, pitiful child whom no one wanted.

Miss Liu Qiu’s kindness was different.

She did not need to explain anything.

She did not need to care about Chi Li’s feelings.

Even if she treated Chi Li as a substitute, a tool, or even beat her, it would have been normal.

But Miss Liu Qiu had done none of that.

Instead, she had transferred a lot of money to her without asking for anything in return.

Miss Liu Qiu was truly very, very kind.

Thinking about it made Chi Li’s cheeks turn red.

She could not keep thinking like this.

Otherwise when Miss Liu Qiu fell asleep and she went to shower, she might disturb her.

With that thought, Chi Li rushed into the bathroom and quickly took a shower.

After drying herself, she stood naked beside the bed for a while.

Miss Liu Qiu had left a large space for her.

If only the bed were smaller.

Then she could squeeze together with Miss Liu Qiu.

Chi Li bent down and carefully climbed onto the bed.

Even the movement of pulling up the blanket was extremely gentle.

She heard Miss Liu Qiu’s soft, steady breathing.

She seemed to have already fallen asleep.

Chi Li slowly reached out and hooked a strand of Liu Qiu’s long curly hair.

She pressed her cheek against it.

So happy.

Chi Li maintained that position for a long time.

Until Liu Qiu slowly turned over, from facing away from her to facing her.

Looking at Liu Qiu’s slightly flushed sleeping face, Chi Li’s breathing became a little hurried.

She liked it so much.

Just staying like this together already made it hard for her to control herself.

She wanted to hug her, touch her, feel that soft warmth, and stay pressed together with Miss Liu Qiu forever.

Chi Li moved her body and quietly buried herself into Liu Qiu’s arms.

Her fingers gently held Liu Qiu’s waist.

Then she slowly closed her eyes.

The next morning, when Liu Qiu woke up, she discovered their posture was extremely ambiguous.

Chi Li was hugging her waist.

And she herself was holding Chi Li’s head.

Moreover, Chi Li was completely naked.

Looking at Chi Li’s tightly closed eyes, Liu Qiu silently sighed.

‘Still sleeping. I have to be quiet.’

She gently removed Chi Li’s hand and got out of bed.

Then she took her dirty clothes and left the room carefully from beginning to end.

Although the original owner rarely lived in this house, someone came to clean it every three days.

Each room was also filled with the original owner’s clothes.

Liu Qiu entered another room.

Although her leg was disabled, she could still walk.

It just looked somewhat awkward.

After changing into clean clothes, Liu Qiu took out her phone from the pocket of yesterday’s dirty clothes.

She planned to ask the driver to pick her up.

Meanwhile, in the room next door, the moment the door closed, Chi Li opened her eyes.

She did not get up.

Instead, she rolled over to the spot where Liu Qiu had slept.

She pulled the blanket up over her nose and mouth, leaving only her light-brown eyes visible.

Such a strong scent.

Miss Liu Qiu’s scent.

And hers too.

Miss Liu Qiu’s body was full of her smell.

It felt like she had become her possession.

And Miss Liu Qiu had been so gentle.

Afraid of waking her, she had quietly left.

How could someone be this kind?

Chi Li wanted to cling to Miss Liu Qiu forever.

But as she thought about it, she suddenly remembered the actress Shen Yiwan.

So beautiful and elegant.

Miss Liu Qiu had gone to the film set just to see Shen Yiwan.

Had Shen Yiwan also done those things with Miss Liu Qiu?

Letting Miss Liu Qiu accept her, rubbing and moving together with her.

Chi Li’s eyes dimmed again.

She did not want Miss Liu Qiu to be with anyone else.

Was she being too possessive?

After all, she was only a lover being kept.

Chi Li slowly got up and opened the door.

The spacious living room was quiet.

Miss Liu Qiu had already left.

Chi Li lowered her eyelashes sadly.

If Miss Liu Qiu treated her as that person’s substitute, would she look at her more?

Chi Li thought about many things.

Later, she even regretted that she had not done more last night.

She loved watching Miss Liu Qiu’s trembling stomach, her shaking soft body, her rising chest, flushed cheeks, and rapid breathing.

She had not even taken advantage of Liu Qiu’s dazed state to kiss her rosy lips.

What a pity.

But regret was useless now.

Miss Liu Qiu had already left without saying goodbye.

Chi Li returned to the bed gloomily.

The phone beside her vibrated a few times.

She opened it.

It was actually a message from Miss Liu Qiu herself.

And she had transferred money.

[Transfer: 200,000]

[Buy whatever you need. If you want compensation, tell me.]

Chi Li could not help smiling.

Two sharp little canine teeth appeared.

Miss Liu Qiu had messaged her first and even asked what she wanted.

But her smile quickly faded.

She did want something.

She had come here in the first place with that intention—to exchange her body for something she needed.

Yet now, if she really made a request, it felt strange.

She could not explain what felt strange.

But the most important thing right now was saving her mother.

She should not hesitate.

Chi Li lowered her eyelashes and sent a message.

– Miss Liu Qiu, can you take my mother to get treatment? That’s my only request.

When Liu Qiu received the message, she was already sitting in the car.

The driver had brought her a rich breakfast.

It was a bit too much.

After eating until half full, she stopped and began replying to messages.

She replied to Chi Li first.

Then Liu Qiu opened her chat with Shen Yiwan.

Shen Yiwan: “Didn’t you hear what I said?”

“You told me to move in with you. Where are you?”

Liu Qiu typed: “Sorry, I had something to do last night.”

There was no reply from Shen Yiwan.

Liu Qiu checked her other messages.

The rest did not need replies.

Now she should go directly to Shen Yiwan’s film set.

As a wealthy young lady, Liu Qiu was truly idle.

She also had a huge amount of money in her account.

Even spending several million a day would take at least a year to finish.

Shen Yiwan’s film crew was also in A City.

Since it was a modern drama, A City was the most suitable location.

About forty minutes later, Liu Qiu arrived at the set.

She sat back in her intelligent wheelchair and drove it into the filming area.

Shen Yiwan was already filming.

She sat with her legs crossed in a chair, arrogant like an emperor, her gaze openly filled with disdain.

Liu Qiu sighed slightly.

At first she had thought Shen Yiwan’s acting looked silly.

But now it seemed extremely good.

She had misjudged her.

‘If Shen Yiwan’s acting is really this good, promoting her should be easy.’

Shen Yiwan’s expression remained unchanged as she continued acting.

But inside, she was extremely annoyed.

Liu Qiu had not replied to her messages all night.

And she had ignored her words completely.

After the scene ended, Shen Yiwan walked toward Liu Qiu with a cold face.

But the closer she got, the stronger the dog scent became.

Shen Yiwan’s expression turned increasingly terrifying.

She stopped in front of Liu Qiu, her eyes dark.

“Liu Qiu.”

“You slept with the silver-haired one.”

Liu Qiu’s heart suddenly jumped, and she almost failed to keep her expression steady.

The “silver-haired one” Shen Yiwan mentioned was probably Chi Li.

But Liu Qiu had checked while bathing.

Chi Li had not left any marks on her body.

How did Shen Yiwan know?

‘What’s going on? There are no hickeys on my neck.’

Shen Yiwan sneered coldly.

“Idiot.”

“If you won’t let me touch you, are you really that desperate?”

Your body is full of dog scent.

Sooner or later you’ll be hunted by vampire hunters.

And the smell is so strong—it looks like you’ve been marked by a little dog.

A werewolf’s instinct was to mark their partner to prevent others from coveting them.

Liu Qiu’s face turned red from Shen Yiwan’s blunt words.

They were in public.

Was Shen Yiwan not afraid others might hear?

She was a celebrity—how could she speak so recklessly?

“Stop talking.”

Liu Qiu said hoarsely, her expression dark and intimidating.

Shen Yiwan snorted coldly and did not bother speaking further.

She turned and walked away.

Looks like it was time to find someone else.

Recently many creatures from the Inner World had entered the Outer World.

With Liu Qiu’s body smelling so strongly of dog scent, it was only a matter of time before she was targeted.

Rather than guarding a human constantly, she might as well change targets.

Watching Shen Yiwan’s back, Liu Qiu thought silently that she seemed to have made her angry.

But Shen Yiwan had said she did not care how many people Liu Qiu kept.

‘System, how do you coax someone?’

Shen Yiwan had always been indifferent toward her.

Liu Qiu could not think of a way to appease her.

The system replied:

[That’s easy. Just give her resources.]

[In the entertainment industry, the ones willing to be kept are either for money or for resources.]

After hearing that, Liu Qiu thought about it carefully.

It made sense.

In that case, she could ask the original owner’s super-capable secretary.

Liu Qiu drove her wheelchair to a quiet corner and called the secretary.

“Are there any good resources?”

“I want to give them to Shen Yiwan.”

The other end of the phone fell silent.

After a while, the secretary replied.

“Yes.”

“There’s a dating reality show.”

“Season three is currently being prepared and is expected to start filming in two months.”

“Our company Fangkuai Entertainment has invested in it.”

“We have one slot.”

“Miss, do you want it?”

Liu Qiu blinked.

A dating show???

Would Shen Yiwan want that?

Forget it.

Just send everything to Shen Yiwan first.

“I’ll take it.”

If Shen Yiwan rejected it, she could change it later.
