196: good!

Monday.

When Xu Zimo woke up, he found Tang Xinyi still asleep.

She was nestled in his arms, sleeping soundly and sweetly.

That's strange.

She clearly fell asleep around nine last night, and now it's already ten in the morning.

It certainly looks like… she's exhausted.

It's rare to see his Little Beloved Wife sleep in, so Xu Zimo didn't plan to wake her.

The shop and everything, he actually didn't think it was a big deal.

He just worried his Little Beloved Wife would be too bored at home, so he found her something she liked to do.

Did he really need to rely on a cat cafe to make money?

Profit or loss didn't matter.

So, he first checked his daily tasks.

Reading task...

My name is An Keer, I'm a junior at Zhongnan University, and my family went bankrupt.

Although my classmates around me don't know yet, they've already started to suspect me, so I sold my luxury goods and jewelry to maintain my high-spending lifestyle...

As of now, I only have three hundred and seventy-four yuan left in my hand.

Right now, I can still find excuses to live in the school dormitory, but summer vacation is coming soon, and I don't have any money to rent a place. Am I going to be homeless?

Moreover, I not only don't have money for rent, but I also don't have money for food, or next semester's tuition...

What should I do?

I really envy my classmate Yi Yi; she seems to have found a rich man. He's so generous to her, he actually bought Yi Yi so many luxury goods.

If I could also walk back to the dorm with so many luxury goods, then the rumors about me in school would naturally fall apart.

I also added that rich man.

He's young, good-looking, and quite pleasing to the eye.

I originally thought he would pursue me like others, and I even considered agreeing to be his girlfriend, but he chose to directly expose my lies...

That was probably the most humiliating thing in my life.

I had originally given up all hope and was even ready to face his ridicule, but he unexpectedly gave me some hope.

He agreed to take me shopping at Guo Jin, but I know that to get those things, I have to meet his demands.

How much I wish he would treat me like a girlfriend.

But, so much time has passed, and he has never contacted me proactively. I don't even know if he still remembers someone like me...

Should I contact him proactively? If I contact him proactively, will he see me as a 'bad girl'?

What should I do?

Time is running out for me. Am I destined to only walk down... a path of no return?

I truly hope someone can save me. As long as I can maintain my outward appearance of dignity, I am willing to follow him wholeheartedly forever.

Task: Save a young girl who is about to walk down a path of no return.

Reward: An Keer's true heart.

The task changed, and the reward changed too.

From the task description, Xu Zimo could read her conflicted state of mind and her deepest desires.

It seems she's been going through a lot lately.

Moreover, with summer vacation approaching, and not much money left, she's reached the edge.

Xu Zimo could wait for her to come to him; An Keer might even be obedient to him for the sake of a decent life.

But that would be the result of her giving up on herself, perhaps living like a walking corpse.

Xu Zimo was indeed a little tempted by her.

After all, An Keer was so beautiful.

Everyone has their 'white moonlight' in their hearts, and Xu Zimo did too.

However, after so many years, the impression had long since blurred.

And it seems she's already married. He... can't exactly be a Cao Thief, can he?!

There's no need for that.

Besides, he didn't want to do anything to break up someone else's family.

After all, he wasn't lacking women around him now.

An Keer.

She was the kind of girl everyone on campus considered their 'white moonlight'. (Refer to Weiwei)

Youthful, pretty, sunny, beautiful.

Obedience is good, but if he could gain her true heart, that would, of course, be the best.

He could slowly... teach her.

And for Xu Zimo, it wasn't much effort, just a matter of moving his fingers.

So, he took out his phone and sent An Keer a message: A new batch of summer styles just arrived at the Chanel store. Want to go take a look?

At this moment, An Keer was in class.

Being able to get into a 985 university shows that she has always excelled in both academics and character.

But now, she wasn't really paying attention in class.

Summer vacation was approaching. Although she could apply to stay in the school dormitory, if she did that, how would her classmates view her?

But now, let alone renting a place, even if she had somewhere to live, the money she had wouldn't last much longer.

She had been dieting for a long time, and she was noticeably much thinner.

Fortunately, on Friday, Yi Yi actually took her out for a fancy meal.

Even before her family went bankrupt, they only ate that well during holidays.

One meal actually cost tens of thousands of yuan.

That was the best meal she had eaten since her family's downfall.

Originally, An Keer thought the other person wouldn't welcome her, but when the woman named Huang Yuqing found out that she knew Xu Zimo, her attitude towards her was surprisingly good.

Moreover, seeing that she had lost some weight, she even ordered two servings of nourishing soup.

An Keer ate well that night.

And precisely because she ate so well, her current sense of disparity was huge.

She learned from Yi Yi that Huang Yuqing also knew Xu Zimo.

It seemed that Huang Yuqing's current life was also provided by Xu Zimo.

He... was indeed a very generous person.

But why didn't he contact her?

Was he looking down on her?

Almost every day, An Keer would open her chat window with Xu Zimo, but no matter how many times she refreshed, she couldn't see any new messages.

Sigh~

She was frowning, her heart already on the verge of collapse.

Ding dong!

The sound of her phone interrupted her thoughts. She looked down and clearly saw that the message lighting up on the screen was from... Xu Zimo.

It's him?!

He contacted her proactively?

An Keer quickly unlocked her phone and opened the page, seeing Xu Zimo's message.

Shopping was secondary.

The most important thing was that this message was an olive branch proactively extended by Xu Zimo.

Her fingers were on the screen, even trembling slightly.

Her current situation was no different from a drowning person, and that olive branch was like a lifeline extended to her.

Should she grab it?!

Thump thump!

An Keer could even hear her own heartbeat.

Because she knew very well what she would have to pay if she agreed, and what she would face if she didn't.

She... couldn't refuse.

Because this opportunity might only come once.

So, her fingers moved slightly, she edited the message, and sent it:

Okay!
