Let s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 389: Chapter 389 Heavenly Fortune (31)
 

“I don’t know how things are in your world, but here on Earth, what you’re doing is not right,”

Chu Wu gently persuaded her.

“By doing this, you make me sad, you hurt me, and I was really scared I was going to lose you just now,”

“Baby, promise me, no matter what, never use your own body as a bargaining chip,”

Chuzheng silently looked at him.

But it’s so damn effective…

It’s convenient and fast, why not?

“Baby?”

“Oh.”

Chuzheng responded, but whether she took it to heart, only she knew.

“Baby, do you really understand?” Chu Wu was somewhat sad.

He had said so much, but did she truly understand?

“I understand, I understand,” Chuzheng nodded seriously.

Whatever you say is right.

Even when you’re wrong, you’re right.

Chu Wu couldn’t fathom Chuzheng’s emotions; all he felt was helplessness, nothing but helplessness.

Chu Wu loosely embraced her.

“Does the wound hurt?”

Chuzheng shook her head expressionlessly.

Hurt? Why would it hurt?

A girl as awesome as me can’t cry out over a little injury.

“If you do this again, I won’t talk to you anymore,”

Suddenly, Chuzheng hugged him, “You can’t, you belong to me.”

“Then you can’t do this either,” Chu Wu said, “You have to take good care of your body, for me, okay?”

“Mmhmm.” This isn’t my body anyway, so promising doesn’t matter.

Chuzhang mentally gave herself a thumbs up for her quick wit.

“Director, the police…” The nurse knocked and entered, seeing their embrace, she quickly averted her gaze and swiftly added, “The police are here.”

–

That Chuzheng was injured was a fact, the wound and surveillance clearly recorded the process of Chu Wu’s attack on her.

From the surveillance, only Chu Wu suddenly stabbing Chuzheng could be seen; there was no clear evidence of what Chuzheng had done.

Chu Wu defended himself, saying it wasn’t him stabbing.

It was Chuzheng who forced the knife into his hand and made him do it.

Chuzheng firmly rejected the claim, questioning, “Why would I stab myself when I’m not sick?” and refused to admit anything.

Although Chu Wu had seen everything, he would never say it out loud.

The security guards at the time testified that it was Chu Wu who stabbed Chuzheng.

There was both physical evidence and witnesses.

Chu Wu had no excuses.

With a knife attack and injuries involved, Chu Wu was bound to be convicted.

Whether he could ever get out was uncertain.

The King’s Account speculated that Chu Wu was unlikely to be released.

The lady would certainly not let him off.

Just think, if it weren’t for the lady, how miserable would the Good Person Card and the original owner be?

Chu Wu deserved his fate.

But…

We’re the Spendthrift System!!!

Angered, the King’s Account sent Chuzheng several tasks in a row.

Chuzheng: “…”

Not even the sick are spared.

You’re worse than a beast.

[Miss, as a system, I’m not suitable to be called a beast.] the King’s Account gnashed its teeth.

After a moment of silence, Chuzheng seriously offered two words, “Machine beast?”

[…] Don’t make up words! Ah, you’re driving me mad! Here’s another task!

Chuzheng: “…”

–

Time seemed to fast-forward, and in the blink of an eye, two years had passed.

Spring brought warmth and rejuvenation to all life.

Little Bun had grown into a big bun.

Chuzheng, carrying the cat listlessly, headed to the pet hospital.

Why do I have to do this!

My task is to pet cats, not to raise them, ugh!

Raising a cat is such a hassle.

Why does a cat need to eat and go to the hospital for checks?

Can’t it just become magical and go by itself!

Chuzheng took Fubao to the pet hospital for a check-up, listening to the doctor’s jumble of instructions and reaffirming in her mind that raising a cat is indeed a big hassle.

Chu Wu used to handle all this before.

She didn’t care at all.

Two days ago, Chu Wu had gone to a seminar, and she was too lazy to walk and reluctant to go with him.

She should have gone!

When exactly was Chu Wu coming back?

Chuzheng’s mind wandered aimlessly.

As soon as the doctor finished speaking, she immediately carried Little Bun and left that terrible place.

Just as she reached the area beneath her apartment complex, the environment in front of her suddenly came to a standstill.

The noise vanished, leaving only the sound of her own breathing in the quiet surroundings.

Chuzheng looked back calmly.

A young man with brilliant golden hair was walking towards her.

“Chuzheng.”

“What are you doing here again?” Chuzheng asked, petting Little Bun and sizing him up nonchalantly.

The young man’s voice was soft and pleasant, “You should go back.”

In two years, with her by his side, Chu Wu had already secured a certain status in the medical community.

As long as he continued on this path, his future would be bright.

Chuzheng was just a trainee Guardian Angel; her mission was to see him through the hardest challenge, and once that was done, her assessment would be complete.

However, she had been delaying her return, so the young man had come looking for her personally.

“I won’t go back.”

“You are an Angel; you cannot linger in the human world.”

“Then I quit.”

The young man’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Do you know what you’re saying?”

“Of course.”

“…” The young man fell silent for a few seconds, “Have you fallen in love with a Human?”

“So what if I have?”

Her indifferent tone ignited a certain anger in the young man.

“Have you forgotten the Angel’s code?”

“I’ve forgotten it.”

“…” The young man closed in on Chuzheng, “Do you know the consequences of falling in love with a Human and lingering in the human world?”

There were consequences?

Chuzheng indicated… she didn’t know.

Chuzheng shook her head.

“Humans have inherent flaws; they are selfish and greedy. Your love will only lead to the beginning of your demise.”

Chuzheng’s face was cold, “If humans are so bad, then why are there Guardian Angels?”

The young man scoffed, “It’s obviously a trade.”

Chuzheng: “…”

A trade… What trade?

In the past, in heaven, the original being had only studied and lived alongside many other trainee Angels.

She hadn’t been exposed to much else.

Therefore, she had no idea what the young man meant by trade.

But from the information Chuzheng had read… weren’t Angels symbols of purity, beauty, and kindness?

Why did it sound like something was off in the young man’s tone?!

“What trade?”

“This is not something you should know now,” the young man leaned in, gazing into Chuzheng’s eyes, “You have one month to take care of your affairs down here, then come back with me.”

“I won’t…”

The sounds of the world suddenly returned to her ears.

The wind blew by her side, stirring up the fallen leaves on the path, and the rustling of the tree canopies.

Chuzheng ground her teeth.

Anger bubbled up inside her.

That damn guy came and went as he pleased, and treated this place like what? A bus station?

I just won’t go back!

What about it!

–

When Chuzheng got back home, she found Chu Wu had already returned.

He was standing at the door, seemingly waiting for her. As soon as she arrived, Chu Wu opened his arms and embraced her.

“Baby, did you miss me?”

Chuzheng was direct, hooking her arms around his neck and kissing him.

A tender longing flowed between their lips and teeth.

The temperature in the room rose steadily.

“Meow~”

Little Bun, feeling uncomfortable being squeezed, protested with meows, prompting them to separate.

Chu Wu placed Little Bun on the sofa and carried Chuzheng towards the bedroom.

The bedroom door closed.

Little Bun wandered to the door, softly scratching at it with his paws.

“Meow~”

So hungry, my master hasn’t fed me yet!
