Chapter 28: Good Morning
"Uncle and Aunt gave us the final deadline to complete it before we turn twenty-five!"
"I'm already twenty-four now, Xiao Yu, you're still young, not even twenty yet, you have plenty of time to try."
"If in the end, you really don't like him and don't want to give him... then I can take on the pressure that belongs to you."
"I guess by then, Uncle and Aunt won't say much either."
"But I must make it clear to you, if you don't choose him, then you basically can't marry anyone else for the rest of your life!"
"This is the rule of the Mu family, and as a 'daughter' of the Mu family, we must abide by this rule! You know this yourself!"
Mu Wanrou's delicate fingers lightly tapped on the table, her gaze cold and unyielding.
Mu Yuer was silent for a moment before asking seriously, "So, Wanrou, do you... like him?"
"Not at the moment! In fact, I can say I don't have much feeling at all!" Mu Wanrou replied without hesitation.
"Then why did you give him...?"
Mu Yuer hesitated to finish her sentence.
The latter seemed to know what she wanted to say and directly pointed it out, "Because I am a 'daughter' of the Mu family! I have no choice! This is what I should do!"
"If you can like him, that would be best; if you really don't like him, it doesn't matter! Don't force yourself!"
Mu Yuer bit her lower lip tightly.
"I... who would like that guy!"
For a moment, her heart felt inexplicably chaotic, making her feel very irritated.
[Ahhh!]
[So annoying!]
[It's all that jerk's fault!]
The girl was going crazy and could only helplessly change the subject.
"Wanrou, when can you come back?"
"When I come back..."
Mu Wanrou pondered for a moment.
"I should be back in the country soon. By then, I will start taking over the work at Tianmu Group! It should only be a month or two!"
"Is it going to take that long?"
Mu Yuer pouted in grievance.
Without Wanrou around, she couldn't even handle that jerk Mu An by herself!
If her older sister were here, she would definitely be able to keep that guy in check!
"I know your little thoughts! Alright, I still have work to do, let's talk later!"
"Okay~~"
After hanging up the phone, the girl felt like a wilted eggplant, rolling around on the bed while hugging a pillow.
Her mind was a mess of thoughts.
That jerk who likes to 'play' with others' feelings, there's no way she could like him!
Hmph! Definitely won't like him! (Tsundere)
...
At a five-star hotel.
[The girl felt a bit of relief, emotional fluctuation +10, congratulations, you have received the reward [Endurance +1]!]
[The girl felt a bit shy, emotional fluctuation +11, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +2000]!]
[The girl felt a bit sweet, emotional fluctuation +12, congratulations, you have received the reward [Money +3 million]!]
...
Amidst a series of reward notifications, Mu An slowly woke up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a pile of emotional rewards, instantly feeling refreshed!
Thanks to his many dedicated actions yesterday (saving the girl from peril), these rewards were truly well-earned and justified!
At this moment, a certain girl was tightly wrapped around him like an octopus.
This wild sleeping posture was quite a contrast to her timid and sensitive personality.
It surprised Mu An slightly.
But considering the pile of emotional rewards, he readily forgave her 'offense.'
After all, who could refuse a sweet, soft girl who could automatically generate crazy rewards?
This little girl should be awake by now.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have contributed so many emotional rewards to him.
Looking at Chu Youmeng's gently trembling eyelashes, Mu An smiled slightly.
What a great opportunity; it would be a waste not to collect emotional rewards!
"I risked my life to save you yesterday."
"Since you're not fully awake yet, how about I steal a kiss as a reward? That seems reasonable, right?"
"After all, you won't know, right?"
The man gently blew on the girl's delicate earlobe.
It was as if he was announcing a major action!
He could clearly feel the girl in his arms trembling slightly, yet she still hadn't opened her beautiful eyes.
[Faced with the wolfish words, the girl was clearly unprepared, nervous emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +1500]!]
[From Chu Youmeng's hesitant emotional fluctuation +17, congratulations, you have received the reward [Book: The Super Arrogant Young Master Loves Me]!]
...
Mu An raised an eyebrow.
Not moved at all?
Is she acquiescing? Or... a high-level female player's T0 operation?
"I'm really going to kiss you now, okay?"
Mu An decided to add fuel to the fire and deliberately scared her.
Sure enough...
[From Chu Youmeng's nervous emotional fluctuation +12, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +1200]!]
[From Chu Youmeng's expectant emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Physique +1]!]
[From Chu Youmeng's shy emotional fluctuation +20, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +20]!]
...
Although the girl was still pretending to be asleep, 'responding to change with inaction,' the emotional rewards from her body had already started rolling in wildly.
To some extent, this also achieved Mu An's initial goal!
But this... was still not enough!
Mu An decided to go all out and directly placed his finger by the girl's lips, simulating a 'kiss' action.
This time, Chu Youmeng stopped pretending to sleep and suddenly opened her beautiful eyes.
Looking at the handsome face so close to her, her eyes showed a mix of shock, expectation, shyness, and a hint of mist!
[Did he really... kiss me?]
[No, wait! This is... a finger?!]
The girl quickly realized something was off and looked at him with an incredibly resentful gaze.
But Mu An just smiled slightly.
"Good morning, Chu Youmeng!"
At this point, the emotional rewards from the girl completely exploded!
[Thinking that the other party might have seen through her act of pretending to sleep, the girl felt a bit embarrassed, emotional fluctuation +20, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +6000]!]
[Feeling deceived by a bad man, the girl felt resentful, emotional fluctuation +25, congratulations, you have received the reward [Money +13 million]!]
[Not expecting to have misunderstood, Chu Youmeng felt extremely shy and at a loss, emotional fluctuation +30, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +300]!]
