Chapter 10

Seeing Xu Jianxing seem to be pondering something, Su Wan'er said with a playful tone, "Brother-in-law, are you moved? I feel that based on your performance in the game, you might have a good chance with my sister. Do you want to give it a try?"

One can know a person's face but not their heart. Although Xu Jianxing left a very good impression on Su Wan'er in the game, in reality, there could be significant changes. Her words not only contained some truth but also a hint of testing.

"Hehe." Xu Jianxing smiled faintly and said, "What to try? In reality, we are two different intersecting points. No matter how hard I try, it's impossible. I don't want to try. I think I'm fine as I am. Let everything from the past drift away with the wind."

Regarding the future, Xu Jianxing had unprecedented confidence. Although he might not reach Lu Qian's level, he believed he could stand at another height, looking down on all things. This was the height Xu Jianxing most wanted, and what he most wanted to strive for. He was already starting to imagine the moment he became a top martial arts expert. Of course, the most important thing now was to figure out some changes in himself and focus on cooking.

Meanwhile, Su Wan'er, who had been staring at Xu Jianxing, saw that there was not even the slightest ripple in his eyes. She was once again deeply impressed. This was a rare and exceptional man, at least in terms of his attitude towards money.

Such a person, in simple terms, had no great ambitions. However, Su Wan'er highly praised Xu Jianxing's lack of ambition at this moment, "Not bad, not bad, you haven't disappointed me."

Whether she was disappointed or not, Xu Jianxing didn't care. What he most wanted to do now was sleep. This feeling of lacking energy was really uncomfortable. He stood up and smiled, "You sit here. I'm really quite sleepy. I'll take a nap."

"Alright, go ahead. But seriously, Brother-in-law, while being a pretty boy has its advantages, you should also exercise more. Not moving at all is not good for your future," Su Wan'er said teasingly.

"Alright, I know that. Do you really think I used to play online games all day?" Xu Jianxing rolled his eyes. Was his fair skin really because he stayed at home and didn't exercise, making him a pretty boy? If it weren't for the magical changes, how could his wheat-colored skin have changed so much?

Just as Xu Jianxing was about to enter the room, Su Wan'er said, "By the way, Brother-in-law, I see you don't have a computer in your room. I have an unused desktop that you can use. It's a waste to leave it there. Your room also has a network port, so you can just plug it in and use it."

"Okay, that works." Xu Jianxing didn't refuse. A computer was indeed necessary.

Following Su Wan'er's lead, Xu Jianxing moved an almost new computer from her room to his, set it up, and then, feeling a bit tired, lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. As for the things he needed to think about, he would deal with them after resting.

In another room, Su Wan'er stealthily made a phone call. Soon, the call was answered, and a gentle female voice came through, "Wan'er, what's up?"

"Nothing, sister. I just got some information about Brother-in-law after spending some time with him. Do you want to hear it?" Su Wan'er said slyly.

"Okay." Lu Qian, sitting in her study, was momentarily stunned and fell silent. After a moment, she said with a hint of annoyance, "If you want to say it, I'll listen. If not, forget it."

"Oh, if you don't want to hear it, then forget it. I have other things to do. I'll hang up now."

"Hey!" Before Lu Qian could say more, she heard a series of beeps from her phone.

Lu Qian's dignified and beautiful face turned red with anger. After a while, she said resentfully, "You little brat, are you playing with me? Wait until I get back to the company tomorrow and see how I deal with you."

Even after saying this, she was still not satisfied. Lu Qian picked up a photo of herself and Su Wan'er from the desk, as if transforming into a witch from Nanyang. She poked at Su Wan'er's photo with her pale fingers and said angrily, "I'll poke your face, and you'll be drunk and crooked-eyed tomorrow. I'll poke your boobs, and you'll turn into peanuts. I'll poke your bottom, and you'll grow a little penis."

At the mention of the little penis, Lu Qian couldn't help but laugh like a silver bell and spat, "That dead guy has corrupted me."

"Ah!" Lu Qian sighed again, fell silent, leaned back in her chair, and stared at the game character "Wings of Flight" on the computer screen, lost in thought. Her expression changed rapidly, from sweet to happy to shy... but after a while, all of this turned into indescribable disappointment, loneliness, and frustration.

A whole year had passed, and the "little husband" in the game was gone. Although she still had many friends, none of them could bring her the same joy as "little husband." She hadn't expected "little husband" to accompany her forever, but she hadn't expected everything to happen so suddenly.

"I'm going crazy, what should I do!" Lu Qian tugged at her lustrous long hair, feeling like she was about to lose her mind, completely immersed in the game world.

As Lu Qian's thoughts swirled, time passed quickly.

In no time, over twenty minutes had gone by.

"Knock, knock..."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the study door. Lu Qian frowned and asked, "Is it Aunt Zhang?"

"Wow! It's me, surprised?"

The study door suddenly opened, and Lu Qian saw Su Wan'er bounce in, looking mischievously at her and saying, "Sister, if I didn't come today, I'm sure you would have given me a hard time tomorrow."

Hearing this, Lu Qian's face turned red, and she retorted, "Am I that kind of person? You're talking nonsense."

Su Wan'er shook her head and laughed, "Whether you are or not, sister, you know best."

Having worked with Lu Qian for many years, Su Wan'er knew her vengeful nature, at least towards her, very well.

Hearing this, Lu Qian's face turned red again, and she glared at her, "Hmph, since you know my character, you'd better be ready tomorrow. I'll make you run until your legs fall off."

Although Su Wan'er was informal and playful when they were alone, she became a completely different person at work. Her self-discipline was so strict that she could be described as a highly professional manager. She would carry out Lu Qian's orders without any discount, showing a level of professionalism that was different from ordinary people.

Su Wan'er said with a bitter smile, "Sister, please let it go. Look at how far I've come to report to you. Can you be a bit more lenient?"

As she spoke, she moved closer to Lu Qian. As she approached, Lu Qian's eyes swept over the computer screen, and she hurriedly tried to close the game. But before she could completely close it, Su Wan'er noticed her unusual behavior, quickly stepped forward, and looked at the computer. She then said with a teasing tone, "Oh, oh... I see!"

With her secret exposed, Lu Qian didn't bother to hide it anymore. Although she felt a bit embarrassed, she wasn't too awkward in front of her assistant, who was like a sister to her. After all, her face had become much thicker due to her experiences in the game, and she had even bathed with Su Wan'er and discussed some intimate topics together, all initiated by Su Wan'er.

Calming down, Lu Qian said directly, "Stop beating around the bush. Tell me what he's like."

"Okay." Su Wan'er entered her work mode and said seriously, "Based on Brother-in-law's current performance, his family background seems quite ordinary, though there could be exceptions. His personality is similar to his in-game persona, calm and steady, but occasionally playful. He is also quite indifferent to money. When I mentioned your wealth, his eyes remained clear, and I didn't detect any abnormality."

"Another noteworthy point is that Brother-in-law has a decent appearance, a bit handsome, and excellent cooking skills, slightly better than the chefs in our hotel, though not quite as good as the head chef. However, based on my taste, there is a unique feeling in Brother-in-law's dishes, a refreshing sensation like after a hot spring bath, though not too strong, but that's my experience."

At this point, Su Wan'er's expression changed, and she said playfully, "Perhaps it's because it was the first time I ate Brother-in-law's lunch, and I might have had some illusions."

"You won't die if you're not playful!" Lu Qian said with a hint of jealousy.

Su Wan'er laughed exaggeratedly, "I won't die if I'm not playful, but life would be boring, like living without the sun."

At this, Su Wan'er's expression turned serious again, and she sniffed, "Sister, why does your room smell so strange?"

"What strange smell?" Lu Qian was puzzled.

Su Wan'er giggled, "It's very sour, very sour. I feel like I've fallen into a vinegar jar, so sour that I can hardly breathe."

"You... you little brat." Lu Qian pointed at Su Wan'er, her face flushed with embarrassment.

"Alright, sister, I won't tease you anymore. Look at the photo I took with Brother-in-law. This will give you a more accurate understanding of him." Saying this, Su Wan'er took out her phone, found a photo of her and Xu Jianxing at the market, and handed it to Lu Qian.
