Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Randomly Spend’s Compensation
After something like this happened, Yun Zijin was no longer in the mood to have fun.
"Let’s go back to the Jinsheng Hotel to eat."
Lu Yunque sympathized with Yun Zijin. Anyone in her position would be unhappy.
Li Yuexing was also understanding. "Alright, I’ll go back to the Jinsheng Hotel with you guys."
As it happened, Li Yuexing was also staying at the Jinsheng Hotel for his business trip to C City.
Since no one had any objections, the group got in the car and headed straight back to the Jinsheng Hotel.
After dinner, Yun Zijin returned to her room, clearly in low spirits. Seeing her like this, Lu Yunque wasn’t sure how to cheer her up.
Even though she had never lived in that house, girls tended to be more sensitive about this kind of thing.
Back in her room, Randomly Spend, which was usually completely silent, suddenly spoke up.
[In light of the undeserved misfortune the Host has suffered due to a task reward, the System has conducted an evaluation and will now provide the following compensation:
① The daily spending task can be changed to a cumulative weekly spending task, calculated at midnight every Friday.
② Reward Host with full ownership of all shops on Ningde Street in C City.
③ Reward Host with a jar of never-ending happy candies.
Does the Host accept the above compensation? Please press "Yes" to accept or "No" to decline.]
Looking at the system panel before her, Yun Zijin suddenly felt so pampered. She pressed "Yes" without a moment’s hesitation.
’Generous systems like this are rare these days.’
’Just because of one accident, I got another street, and my daily task became a weekly one.’
’Is it calculated on Friday because Saturday and Sunday are the system’s days off?’
’And the happy candies... was it a special reward to cheer me up because it was afraid I’d be down about this?’
’Guys, who else gets this feeling?!’
After she pressed "Yes," the jar of happy candies dropped right into her arms.
As Yun Zijin looked at the huge jar of rainbow-colored happy candies in her arms, her gloomy mood instantly brightened.
’System, you’re my god!’
Yun Zijin eagerly opened the candy jar and picked out an orange one.
Her mouth filled with the taste of orange, and her mood unconsciously improved a great deal.
’Happy candies... they really live up to their name. Eating them makes you happy!’
Yun Zijin grabbed a few at random, planning to share them with Lu Yunque.
Just as she opened her door, she saw Lu Yunque standing right outside. Yun Zijin reflexively took a step back.
"Why are you standing outside my room?"
"When we got back, you didn’t seem to be in a good mood, so I thought I’d come check on you."
In any case, he was the one who had brought her to C City; he couldn’t just ignore her, not to mention they were practically boyfriend and girlfriend now.
Yun Zijin came out of her room and sat on the sofa in the suite’s living room. Lu Yunque followed her.
"I was in a bit of a bad mood when we got back. After all, girls tend to be more sensitive about this kind of thing."
"But I’ve already bounced back, so you don’t have to worry."
Yun Zijin was pleasantly surprised that Lu Yunque had come to comfort her. After all, he didn’t seem like the type who knew how to console people.
"I’m glad you’re feeling better. If you have any problems, you can always come to me."
Yun Zijin nodded. ’If a real problem came up, of course I wouldn’t be stupid enough to face it alone.’
"Oh, right. I recently found these candies that seem to improve your mood after you eat them. Here, try one."
Yun Zijin opened her hand, revealing a few candies inside.
The wrappers looked unremarkable, similar to the colorful bulk candies you’d find at a supermarket, but the taste was completely different.
Lu Yunque rarely ate sweets, but he couldn’t bring himself to refuse something from Yun Zijin.
He took a green candy from her palm, unwrapped it, and put it in his mouth.
It tasted of green apple, refreshingly sweet—just right for Lu Yunque.
And the slight furrow in his brow, born from his worry for Yun Zijin, smoothed out the moment he ate the happy candy.
Seeing this change, the corners of Yun Zijin’s mouth lifted slightly. ’The happy candies really do live up to their name.’
The change in Lu Yunque’s mood wasn’t obvious, but he could feel it himself.
He was reminded of the Wangyou Milk Tea from before and guessed these candies were another mysterious item Yun Zijin had acquired from some unknown source.
’Ordinary candy wouldn’t have this kind of effect.’
But since Yun Zijin didn’t say anything, Lu Yunque pretended not to notice. Her willingness to share proved that she trusted him, and he had to be worthy of that trust.
Just then, Yun Zijin’s phone rang.
The caller ID showed Li Yuexing.
Although Yun Zijin was a little confused as to why Li Yuexing would be calling her at this hour, she still answered.
The call connected, and before Yun Zijin could speak, Li Yuexing’s voice came through the phone:
"Zijing, come to the balcony!"
"The balcony? What for?"
Yun Zijin was mystified.
"You’ll know when you get here."
Trusting Li Yuexing, Yun Zijin walked out onto the presidential suite’s balcony.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The moment Yun Zijin appeared on the balcony, a magnificent fireworks show erupted outside.
"Wow, fireworks! They didn’t have any yesterday, so why today?"
’If they were going to have a fireworks show, wouldn’t it have been more appropriate on October 1st?’
"Uh... I wouldn’t know about that. I just heard about it from my business partner in C City."
"You seemed down earlier, so I figured watching fireworks might cheer you up."
’There probably isn’t a girl alive who wouldn’t like such a beautiful fireworks show.’
Lu Yunque also walked out onto the balcony at this moment. Seeing the fireworks, he felt a bit conflicted.
"The fireworks are beautiful, thank you for the heads-up!"
The sound of the fireworks was a bit loud, so Yun Zijin unconsciously raised her voice.
Seeing Lu Yunque come out, Yun Zijin said a quick goodbye to Li Yuexing and hung up.
"You like watching fireworks, too?"
"Not really. I saw you came out, and I was bored sitting inside alone."
’What fireworks show? This was all Li Yuexing’s doing—a last-minute display he’d paid a fortune for just to make Yun Zijin happy.’
’He was really at a disadvantage from his lack of experience in romance. If it weren’t for his grandmother’s help, Lu Yunque really wasn’t sure he could win against Li Yuexing.’
’Li Yuexing might not truly be in love with Yun Zijin, but he’s definitely interested. More than likely, he’s got his eye on the immense financial power behind her.’
’The four great families of Dijing have been neck and neck for years, but in the last two years, the Lu Family has shown signs of taking the lead.’
’And then, Yun Zijin appeared out of nowhere. Although she’s the biological daughter of the Xia Family, she hasn’t returned to them, and everything she has is unrelated to them.’
’That makes her no different from an orphan.’
’And an orphan with enormous assets is exactly what they’re looking for.’
A thousand thoughts raced through Lu Yunque’s mind, but his face remained impassive.
"You get bored?"
A workaholic who practically lived for his job was telling her he was bored being alone. Wasn’t that a little out of character?
Lu Yunque felt helpless. ’Just what kind of image do I have in her mind?’
