Chapter 37

The two of them sat at the table in the cake shop. Li Zhen looked at Mei Shu, who had been eating without looking up, and asked curiously, “Do you like sweet food very much?”

Mei Shu didn’t have any special preferences for sweets. She just wanted to complete the mission quickly. Dessert was the fastest to finish. She didn’t have the patience or time to dine with Li Zhen.

The three pieces of cake were swept into Mei Shu’s stomach in a few minutes. Mei Shu swallowed the last mouthful of cake and found an excuse. “It’s alright. I suddenly want to eat it.”

[Congratulations, Master, for completing the mission! Points +10, Beauty +1]

There was a little cream at the corner of Mei Shu’s mouth, making his red lips look especially seductive.

Li Zhen couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

[Congratulations, Master. You’ve captured someone’s heart. Beauty +1]

Mei Shu had question marks all over her head. She hadn’t said anything just now. Did Li Zhen like watching her eat cake?

Mei Shu finished her quest and immediately picked up her bag and stood up. “I’m full. I’ll go first. Goodbye!”” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Without waiting for Li Zhen’s response, Mei Shu hurried away.

Li Zhen came back to his senses and chuckled. “Interesting, really interesting.”

[Congratulations, Master. You’ve captured someone’s heart. Beauty +1]

Mei Shu walked out of the cake shop and heard Little Eight’s robotic voice. She was speechless at Li Zhen. The colder she was to him, the more intrigued he became.

Mei Shu was about to go to the bus stop when she suddenly felt a little stuffy in his chest. She hugged her books to her chest as a cover and pulled the edge of her bra out from under her clothes. Only then did she feel more comfortable breathing. She muttered softly, “I’m not even full. Even if I were, it would be my stomach that’s uncomfortable, not my chest.”

[Uh, our system’s beauty value includes causing some minor changes in your body. Master, don’t realize that your feminine features have become more prominent?]

Mei Shu: “…”.

Mei Shu didn’t know whether to be happy or depressed, but she knew she had to quickly buy some new underwear or she would feel suffocated.

After buying the underwear, Mei Shu returned home and coincidentally arrived just in time for dinner.

Although she had eaten some food, Mei Shu was worried that she would be hungry from overworking her brain at night, so she still had dinner.

Mei Yun also made a rare appearance at tonight’s dinner table.

Wang Yue smiled at Mei Shu, “Mei Shu, it’s already Thursday today, and the banquet is only two days away. Auntie bought you a luxury brand dress, which was just delivered today. Try it on later and see if it fits.”

Mei Shu also smiled and cooperatively said, “Okay.”

Wang Yue looked at Mei Yun with affection and sweetness in her eyes, “Honey, Mei Shu has lived a quiet life in the countryside for a few years, so this time I want to make the banquet more lively. Everyone in our family will have a new set of formal wear.”

Mei Yun nodded in satisfaction, “Mei Shu is the eldest in our family, so this time we have to make the party grand. Did you not forget to invite the companies I want to cooperate with?”

Wang Yue replied quickly, “Don’t worry. I have confirmed with their wives. They’ll all come.”

Mei Mu glanced meaningfully at Mei Shu, then lowered her head to eat.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to try on their clothes.

Mei Shu wore a light blue one-shoulder dress that reached to her ankles, with a small amount of hand embroidery and beads on the skirt. The skirt was slightly flared at the bottom, and when Mei Shu wore it, she exuded the energy and purity of a young girl.

Mei Mu’s dress was relatively simple, more to showcase her cuteness and meekness.

Mei Yun was very satisfied when he saw it. Mei Shu was the protagonist of this banquet, and the two sisters’ dresses were just right.

“Wang Yue, you did a great job this time. It’s quite impressive.””

Wang Yue smiled inwardly. Of course it was good. She prepared a good show for everyone, ensuring that those who attended would have something to talk about later.

Wang Yue smiled kindly. “It’s my pleasure. After five years, this time we must make sure Mei Shu appears in the circle of Lin City in a very special way.”

Mei Shu heard this and smiled even more brightly, with a happy expression on her face, “Thank you, Aunt Wang!”

Seeing that the house had returned to its usual lively atmosphere, Mei Yun was no longer so angry with Wang Yue’s earlier mistake.

On the back mountain of the community, Jiang He returned to the villa with the latest information.

Jiang Hai, who was waiting in the hall for the assignment, hurried forward when he saw him, “How was it? Did you find out what happened?”

Jiang He rolled his eyes, “It’s not that easy. We can only start with people first.”

Jiang He finished speaking and knocked on the door of the study on the first floor.

“Come in.”
