Let's Squander A Billion First!-Chapter 1680: Lord Qiansui (32)
"How long have you been preparing for this?"
Yin Shen’s voice was muffled.
"For what?"
Yin Shen: "Keeping me here."
Chuzheng thought for a while and answered seriously, "Since you imprisoned me."
Yin Shen: "..."
-
Chuzheng permitted Yin Shen to contact people outside to avoid his disappearance causing too much trouble.
"Aren’t you afraid I’ll call someone to rescue me?"
Chuzheng leaned against the table, flipping through a book casually. Hearing this, she lowered her head slightly to look at him: "Can they find you?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Yin Shen: "..."
Yin Shen stopped talking and focused on writing.
As Chuzheng watched him, his writing was as pleasing to the eye as he was.
After finishing the letter, Yin Shen asked Chuzheng, "Where did you put the clothes I wore before?"
"Why?"
"There’s an insignia inside; otherwise, they won’t believe it."
The clothes Yin Shen was wearing now were brought by Chuzheng later; his previous ones had long been taken away.
Chuzheng thought for a moment, then went to get a box filled with some small items.
Everything, from the hair crown to the waistband, was inside.
Did she carefully keep all of it...
Suppressing his emotions, Yin Shen found what he needed, packed it with the letter, and handed it to Chuzheng.
Chuzheng didn’t check it and directly let Jin Zhi in.
-
After Yin Shen sent out the message, those searching everywhere outside suddenly calmed down.
No one knew how the Emperor handled it, but the situation in the court seemed calm, without further incidents.
Yin Shen spent his days writing, reading, occasionally dealing with letters sent back.
Initially, Yin Shen wanted to imprison Chuzheng because he felt she should belong entirely to him, both body and soul, forever.
But he didn’t expect Chuzheng to have the same intention towards him.
Even more unexpected was that he would fail by a single move, becoming her captive.
Yet, he liked her...
He was the first to think of this, so he couldn’t even blame her.
He couldn’t bear to.
Every time he saw her, he just wanted to look at her, no matter what she did to him; he could accept it.
Sometimes, Yin Shen thought he must be crazy.
Just for a woman...
Yin Shen exhaled, put down the pen, walked to the window, and looked outside through the iron bars.
Here, he could bask in the sunlight; the room had excellent lighting. Obviously, the owner considered everything when choosing this place.
"Do you want to come out for some fresh air?" Chuzheng’s head suddenly appeared by the window.
The bright-eyed and white-toothed girl seemed to have infinite radiance behind her, drawing people in, making them fall for her; she was the only color in this world.
Yin Shen’s heartbeat quickened slightly.
Yin Shen didn’t conceal his affection, holding the person in his heart in the depths of his eyes, a smile across his brows.
"Would you let me out?"
"Of course, I’ll meet any of your requests." Anyway, she could just catch him again if he ran away, so what was there to fear?
Yin Shen raised an eyebrow: "Any request?"
Chuzheng nodded.
Yin Shen’s smile deepened: "Really?"
Chuzheng continued nodding, but inner caution arose; the Good Person Card was making her uneasy.
Soon, Chuzheng mentally cursed the Good Person Card, its ancestors through eighteen generations.
He named over a dozen foods, the key point being that according to Chuzheng’s memory, these items were in different directions, spread almost across the entire city.
Chuzheng clenched her fists calmly: "Does it matter what you eat?"
Yin Shen blinked innocently: "Xiao Chu, didn’t you say you’d fulfill all my wishes? I just want to eat these now."
"..."
Chuzheng suppressed her anger: "Alright, wait."
Yin Shen continued to add: "Xiao Chu, I want you to buy them yourself."
"..."
Ha, why not have me make them myself?
Look at how demanding you are!
Seeing Chuzheng silent, Yin Shen asked innocently: "Xiao Chu, is that not possible?"
Yin Shen’s expression of ’you said you’d fulfill my every wish, but now you’re reneging’ made Chuzheng want... to hit him.
Finally, Chuzheng silently repeated in her heart not to hit the Good Person Card, mentally reprogramming herself, and clenched her teeth: "Wait."
-
Two hours later.
Chuzheng stormed back and put the purchased items in front of Yin Shen with a thud.
"Eat!"
If you don’t finish eating, see what I’ll do to you!
Even if I have to force-feed you.
Yin Shen blinked: "Xiao Chu, you’re so fierce."
Chuzheng glared at him: "Hurry up and eat."
"Xiao Chu, feed me."
"Don’t you have hands?"
Yin Shen withdrew his hands into his sleeves: "I don’t."
Chuzheng: "..."
You weren’t like this outside, don’t you care about your Lordship’s image?
No hands, huh!
I’ll cut them off for you!
[Miss, calm down. If you cut them off, you’ll have to feed him every day. Think about it, isn’t it scary?]
Chuzheng: "..."
Too treacherous!
Better not cut them off then.
[...] Whew, although it felt like she was just saying, what if she suddenly had an impulse to do it? It was hard being this system.
This girl was too difficult to handle.
Girls next door were so easy, always positive and striving every day. Unlike her, making it cough up blood in anger daily.
"Eat if you want or not." Chuzheng didn’t know what the King’s Account was complaining about, and she stormed out, leaving Yin Shen behind.
Yin Shen: "..."
Yin Shen got up and walked to the mirror, adjusting his facial expression. The man in the mirror, relying on his handsome face, could make any expression captivating.
What kind of him did Xiao Chu like?
Yin Shen had lived at the bottom for too long; being adaptable was a survival skill.
The mirror showed someone who was at times ascetic, at times alluring, at times innocent and pure.
Finally, Yin Shen sighed, sat back at the table.
He opened the paper package Chuzheng left on the table, full of the items he mentioned, and casually picked a pastry to eat.
Sweet indeed.
Sweet like her.
Yin Shen ate two more pieces, suddenly noticing something odd about the outermost paper wrapping the pastries.
Yin Shen pulled out that paper.
It was not ordinary paper; it was the deed to a shop.
The name matched the pastry shop from which these were bought.
Yin Shen: "..."
Yin Shen quickly opened others to check; they were packed in the same way.
Only she would use such things as wrapping paper.
Yin Shen clutched those property deeds, feeling complicated.
Chuzheng probably got so mad that she didn’t come at night either.
Yin Shen asked Jin Zhi, who brought his dinner, but she said she didn’t know where Chuzheng was; she didn’t see her in the residence.
"Why do you follow her?"
"Miss pays me."
Yin Shen almost choked at this answer.
It was too unexpected for him...
"How much does she pay you?"
Jin Zhi looked at Yin Shen: "My Lord, the Miss said, no matter how much you offer, she’ll triple the amount, so there’s no point trying with me."
Yin Shen: "..."
He was just asking casually.
Jin Zhi smiled politely: "Please, take your time."
