Transmigrated as the Villain Boss's Precious Darling-Chapter 141: The First Pot of Gold Is Gone

"I’ll go to Wraven with you in a bit. Maybe we’ll even run into my grandpa and the others," Jim Thorne said.

"Alright. We can buy more. Let’s go now, it’ll be dark soon."

After fighting together, the relationship between Adrian Hawthorne and Jim Thorne underwent a subtle change. They spoke much more familiarly, almost like they’d become buddies.

"Deal."

Jim Thorne hurried back into the house. He put down the meat bun and came out with a flashlight in his hand. It would definitely be dark by the time they got back.

Tang Xiaonan stared expectantly at Adrian Hawthorne, too embarrassed to say anything. But the big boss had clearly promised her. He still hadn’t given it to her. ’Does he really have to force me to hold out my hand and ask for the money?’

Feeling a certain scorching gaze on him, Adrian Hawthorne looked down and saw Tang Xiaonan hesitating, twisting her fingers nonstop while staring at him with pleading eyes.

"Something wrong?"

Adrian Hawthorne was deliberately teasing her. The current Tang Xiaopang was much cuter than before; it was quite fun to mess with her.

Tang Xiaonan’s lip trembled. ’The big boss really did forget. It’s not his fault, though. I’m just a nobody. It’s only normal for him to forget something he said so casually. But I want to earn money too!’ 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Gritting her teeth, Tang Xiaonan mumbled awkwardly, "Just now... I helped sell them too..."

"Sell what?"

Adrian Hawthorne held back a laugh and pretended not to know. ’This chubby girl is going to twist her fingers off.’

Tang Xiaonan stared at him, stunned. ’What the hell? The future big boss has such a bad memory?’

But when she saw the amusement in Adrian Hawthorne’s eyes, she was instantly consumed by furious embarrassment. A vicious impulse took over, and she grabbed the future big boss’s paw and bit down hard. ’Damn it! How dare he tease me! He deserves to be bitten!’

Adrian Hawthorne sucked in a sharp breath. A gapped tooth mark appeared on the back of his hand. ’The little girl is surprisingly strong.’

"You promised... to give me a share of the money..."

Tang Xiaonan roared in anger, her words slurring. A bit of spittle even shot out from the gap in her teeth and landed on Adrian Hawthorne’s hand. Tang Xiaonan was both furious and mortified. Her eyes were wide, her cheeks were puffed out. She was absolutely fuming.

Adrian Hawthorne calmly wiped off the spittle. The palm of his hand itched a little; he really wanted to poke the chubby girl’s puffed-out cheeks. But he held back. He was afraid he’d make Tang Xiaonan cry, and that would bring Phoebe Huxley out, which would be a hassle.

"Here."

Adrian Hawthorne took two yuan out of his bag and stuffed it into Tang Xiaonan’s hand. The chubby girl’s contribution today was undeniable. Her sweet-talking was like she’d smeared her lips with honey. She deserved the two yuan.

He’d just done a rough calculation. After costs, he had earned at least fifteen yuan from this single job. Subtracting the five yuan for Jim Thorne and his sister, he would still make ten yuan.

Tang Xiaonan felt a little embarrassed. All she did was run her mouth. Two yuan was a bit too much. She tried to give one yuan back to Adrian Hawthorne. She wouldn’t take a cent less than what was hers, but she wouldn’t take what wasn’t hers either.

"It’s yours. You were a big help. You earned it."

Adrian Hawthorne pushed the money back to her. Jim Thorne had already come out, and the two of them left in a hurry. Tang Xiaonan stood at the door, clutching the two yuan, feeling incredibly proud of herself.

’Even the big boss said I earned it. That means he acknowledges my abilities! Haha, I, Tang Xiaonan, am truly loved by all!’

"Where did your third brother go? Huh... where did this money come from?"

Phoebe Huxley came out, saw the two yuan in Tang Xiaonan’s hand, and snatched it up.

Before Tang Xiaonan could even react, the money was gone. She didn’t dare say she’d earned it by selling movie stills. If her parents found out they went into the city to buy things today, they would definitely break her third brother’s legs.

"I... I found it."

"Who could be so careless as to drop two yuan? My Xiaonan is such a good girl. Mom will make you steamed egg with meat tonight!"

Phoebe Huxley was overjoyed. She planted a heavy kiss on Tang Xiaonan’s cheek and went back to her room, beaming. Her precious daughter was just so lucky; she could find money just by walking around.

Tang Xiaonan was speechless.

Her first pot of gold, gone just like that... Her heart ached!
