Let's Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 164: Chapter 164: The Last Day Tycoon (29)
 

“`

Chuzheng Villa.

Brother Yong and Brother Bao were sitting at the doorway of a room, playing cards and drinking, while Lu Ran stood inside the room, his expression indecipherable as he watched them.

“Little Brother Lu Ran, just give up on trying to escape. Look outside the villa, it’s surrounded by my brothers; where could you possibly run?”, Brother Yong, smoking a cigarette, advised Lu Ran while continuing to play cards.

He Cheng’s face was full of envy, “Miss Chuzheng treats you so well, if I were you, I’d just obediently listen to what Miss Chuzheng says.”

Lu Ran was so angry he felt like spitting blood, “As a man, how can she lock me up here, what does this mean?”

If you’re willing, then come here!

Why won’t you let me go!

Brother Bao scratched his head: “Well, you win some, you lose some. Doesn’t Miss Chuzheng treat you well?”

Lu Ran: “…”

It is good.

But that’s no reason for her to imprison me!

Lu Ran took a deep breath and asked calmly, “When will she be back?”

Brother Yong took a puff of his cigarette and was about to reply when they heard footsteps on the stairs.

“She’s back,” Brother Yong finished the last two cards.

Lu Ran’s eyes narrowed slightly as he watched the people at the doorway tidy up and stand up.

Chuzheng handed out the Crystal Core payout to them.

Brother Yong clicked his tongue, “Call me again if there’s such a good job in the future.”

“Mm.”

Brother Bao spoke for the other two, “Miss Chuzheng, we were thinking…”

Chuzheng, with an indifferent expression, “I don’t need a driver for now.”

“…”

So she had just considered them as drivers before?

Clearly, the answer was yes.

Brother Bao and the others left the villa slightly dejected and disappointed.

Lu Ran strode out of the room, leaning against the doorframe: “Why didn’t you keep them?”

“Troublesome.”

Lu Ran immediately said, “Then I’m quite bothersome too, let me go.”

“No.”

Lu Ran: “…”

So in her heart, I’m actually a bother?

It’s just for some reason, she doesn’t want to let me go.

And that reason…

Lu Ran leaned forward, “If I think you’re a ‘Good Person,’ will you let me go?”

Chuzheng thought for a while but didn’t answer the question, instead, she kissed him on his approaching lips.

Lu Ran froze there, his eyes seemingly forgetting how to move.

“Miss.”

Mu Jie’s voice came from downstairs.

Chuzheng silently let her hand, which was about to embrace Lu Ran, fall and instead took his hand.

Lu Ran pulled hard, bringing them both back into the room.

Lu Ran leaned against the wall, Chuzheng falling into his embrace.

He wrapped his arms around her waist, pinning her down, and used his other hand to support her back.

Lu Ran’s voice was slightly deep, “You keep kissing me repeatedly; did you have my consent?”

Chuzheng’s expression was natural, “Do I need it?”

“You need it. I am an individual, not your possession. I didn’t agree; you can’t just kiss me whenever you want.”

Chuzheng’s palm rested on his shoulder line, pressing down slightly, her body leaning in, filling Lu Ran’s vision.

The cool voice of the woman echoed in his ear, “May I kiss you?”

The girl was nestled in his embrace, her soft, long hair draping down, and the tips brushing across his arm.

Her dark eyes were quietly watching him, her expression serious and earnest.

As if discussing a very serious matter.

He found himself nodding almost involuntarily.

“`

Chuzheng received permission and leaned in for a kiss; it was then that Lu Ran suddenly snapped back to reality.

However, at that moment, apart from feeling his heartbeat accelerate, he couldn’t do anything, having completely forgotten what he wanted to do just before.

“Miss, are you alright?”

Lu Ran was startled by the voice, struggled a little, but was firmly held down by Chuzheng, unable to move.

“Miss?” Mu Jie’s voice was getting closer.

Lu Ran’s eyes were slightly open. He didn’t dare to breathe heavily; the room’s door wasn’t closed, and anyone entering could see them.

But those footsteps stopped outside, calling out once more, “Miss?”

Chuzheng loosened her grip on Lu Ran a bit and pecked at his lips twice before whispering, “Can I kiss you again next time?”

Lu Ran: “???”

“You need to let me go first,” Lu Ran said, worried someone would come in.

“Promise me, and I’ll let you go,” Chuzheng replied.

Lu Ran: “…”

It sounded like the person outside was moving.

“Yes, yes,” Lu Ran hastily replied.

“I’ll be out shortly,” Chuzheng called out to the person outside.

The footsteps paused: “Take your time, Miss.”

Chuzheng stepped back a bit, her gaze dropping down.

Lu Ran swiftly placed his hand over her view and turned his body away, his handsome eyes full of embarrassment: “What are you looking at?”

“Nothing.” Chuzheng left the room and began talking to the person outside the door.

Lu Ran annoyingly slapped himself.

Chuzheng looked back.

Holding up his palm, Lu Ran met Chuzheng’s eyes and calmly said, “Mosquito.”

Chuzheng: “There are no mosquitoes in this kind of weather.”

Lu Ran: “… Mutant ones!”

Chuzheng: “…” Alright, if the Good Person Card says so, then they exist.

[…]Sister, have you forgotten? You said it yourself!!

There were actually many questions in Mu Jie’s mind, such as why Chuzheng, knowing about this matter, didn’t seek them out.

The reason Chuzheng didn’t seek them out was simple; she found it too bothersome.

But since Ning You repeatedly caused trouble for her, she felt it was necessary to justify herself.

After all, it saved a lot of trouble.

Chuzheng had no intention of going to the villa next door with Mu Jie. After sending him off, Lu Ran followed Chuzheng out of the room.

“If you dare to run away…”

Lu Ran took a step back: “I’m not.”

“Hmm, just don’t think about running, and I won’t restrain you.”

“…I won’t run.” He was mulling over things now and wouldn’t leave until he had figured them out.

Chuzheng reached out to touch his head but, remembering that his hair wasn’t soft, she settled for patting his shoulder: “Good boy.”

Lu Ran tugged at the corner of his mouth.

“Hungry?”

“Yeah.” Being well-fed was essential for considering problems.

Chuzheng took Lu Ran for food, ordering all the best dishes in the restaurant for him.

The people in the restaurant were all stunned, apparently having never seen such a lavish spender.

However, upon hearing who it was, everyone calmed down.

The person had donated so much to the base, handing out Crystal Cores as if they cost nothing.

This was what a true boss looked like.

“She spoils that guy so much? What does he look like, is he handsome?”

“Don’t know, I didn’t catch a glimpse. He was wearing a hat, but his silhouette looked quite handsome.”

“With this hot weather, who wears a hat?”

“The hat is pretty cute, though.”

“I really want to see what he looks like, to see if I’m worthy enough to catch the eye of the boss and become one of the distinguished guests.”

“Dream on, as if the boss would notice you?”
