Chapter 281 - 283: Ten Thousand a Day, Including Food, Accommodation and Medical Expenses_1
When Gu Shaocheng entered, he happened to see her covering herself with a blanket. He snickered, gently closed the door, but didn’t head towards her; instead, he went to a changing room.
Feeling guilty, Chenxing didn’t dare make a noise, feigning sleep under the blanket.
When he came out of the dressing room, his eyes fell on the slightly raised blanket, he was surprised. How come she was so skinny? It was as if there was no prominent rise and fall of the blanket even with her lying beneath it.
A sudden anger filled him. What had the servants been doing? How could they have allowed Chenxing to become so emaciated, and not report it?
Chenxing, hidden beneath the blanket, felt itchier now. She wanted to scratch, but her fingers were wrapped like small dumplings, making her pout in frustration.
She didn’t even know if the person who just entered had left or not.
After a while of silence in the bedroom, she figured that person must’ve left. She cautiously lifted the blanket and her big innocent eyes darted around. Realizing that the room was empty, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, she popped her head out of the blanket, simultaneously stretching her arms, she pouted: "I’m itching to death!"
But in the next second, she screamed in surprise and burrowed under the blanket again.
Gu Shaocheng was standing at an angle by the other side of the sick-bed, frightening her half to death. Why was this man standing still for a long time without a sound?
"Alright, stop hiding, I’ve already seen you." Gu Shaocheng patiently said, his lips curling into a charming smile. The light illuminated his handsome face, projecting an imposing figure.
"No," Chenxing’s muffled rejection came from inside the blanket: "I’ve turned into a monster now, you quickly leave!"
Gu Shaocheng observed the slightly raised blanket, smiled again, then stooped down to pull the blanket away, forcibly unveiling Chenxing who had tightly held onto it.
He looked at her face, his expression teasing.
"Let me see. Um, indeed. You’re quite ugly. Originally, you were just dark, but now you also have a face full of rash, you could scare the hell out of people if you go out! It would be great if you took a selfie and posted it on the internet, let’s see if you could still be voted as the innocent beauty."
Chenxing let out a low moan, turning her back at Gu Shaocheng who then turned her around again, forcing her to face him.
Chenxing panicked, avoiding his gaze.
"What are you hiding for? I’ve already been terrified once, I’ve got immunity antibodies now."
Being called ugly by a man is truly annoying.
Chenxing resignedly closed her eyes: "Then you look. If you’re frightened to death, it serves you right!"
Gu Shaocheng continued in his teasing tone: "How much better is your health? If you’re recovered, then move back to your motel."
Chenxing was scared by his words, nearly on the brink of tears: "Can you wait for me to fully recover?"
She didn’t even dare to leave this bedroom now. She’s of the age that cares for her beauty, going out to see people with a face full of rash was absolutely out of the question!
"Not leaving? Do you want to stay here?" Gu Shaocheng pretended to be shocked.
Chenxing’s face contorted in inner struggle: "I beg you..."
"...Didn’t you say you didn’t want to stay here? That you didn’t want to be a bother? Chenxing, those were your own words." He sat on the edge of the bed, teasingly observing her embarrassed face, "We’re still in the middle of a bet, do you want to default?"
"I’ll pay the rent." Chenxing announced loudly: "How much a day? You name it, and I’ll pay you, to live here... until my face isn’t red anymore. I promise I won’t stay permanently."
"Great." Gu Shaocheng nodded, smiling. Of course, he had no objections, "Ten thousand a day, including food, accommodation, and medical fees."
...Update on February 23 ends here, will continue at midnight tomorrow. Haha, Gu the Scum is such a jerk, the money Chenxing earns can’t even cover his extortion, he’s bullying her again! I can’t stand it anymore...
