Almighty Sweet Queen is Really Rich!

The middle-aged woman was quite startled by Xu Haohao and instinctively wanted to withdraw her hand, awkwardly saying, ”You can just tell me, Miss Xu, no need for this.”

Xu Haohao was so agitated that her face turned red, and her body trembled slightly as she said, ”Aunt, please help me report to the police secretly, I... I... I’ve accidentally joined a pyramid scheme!”

Xu Haohao made up a lie, trying to get the middle-aged woman to pay attention, but before she could finish, she heard a magnetic voice from behind:

”Aunt Zhou, thank you for the fish.”

Xu Haohao quickly turned her head and saw Feng Huaimu silently sneaking over from somewhere, reached out to pick up that bucket, and seemed very satisfied looking at the lively fish inside.

Xu Haohao felt as if she was thrown into a freezing cellar, always getting caught by him. With a stifled heart, Xu Haohao couldn’t help but give the middle-aged woman a pitiful look, hoping for some sympathy from her.

The woman looked at her a few times more and left with a smile.

Xu Haohao didn’t care at all that Feng Huaimu was fiddling with the small fish in the bucket, she walked straight to the sofa in the hall and sat down, as if she had grown roots in it, displaying an expression that showed she was determined not to leave, waiting for the aunt to call the police, wanting to wait for people to come.

”Haohao, your complexion has looked a lot worse lately. There’s fish, how about I cook fish soup for you tonight?” Feng Huaimu said as he caught a fish that was neither too big nor too small from the water.

Xu Haohao crossed her arms and sneered, ”Who is responsible for my poor complexion is obvious!”

Anyone who stays at home without seeing the sun will have a bad complexion.

Upon hearing this, Feng Huaimu’s hand trembled slightly, causing the fish to struggle and fall back into the bucket.

The two remained silent for a few minutes. Feng Huaimu suddenly shook his hand, stood up, looked at Xu Haohao’s anxious expression, and laughed.

”You... Why are you laughing?” Xu Haohao was somewhat angry out of embarrassment.

Feng Huaimu laughed, ”Haohao, you just told Aunt Zhou you’ve accidentally joined a pyramid scheme? Does that make me the leader?”

Xu Haohao mocked, ”You’re worse than any pyramid scheme leader, wait and see how you end up in jail.”

Feng Huaimu was already accustomed to Xu Haohao’s occasional sarcasm. He smiled, squatted in front of her, his cold hand holding hers, making Xu Haohao shiver, ”Haohao, this small fishing village is actually... all mine, the fishermen here, you could say, all work for me.”

Feng Huaimu’s abrupt comment seemed out of place but made Xu Haohao’s expression grow peculiar and unpleasant.

This fishing village was his private property? How is this any different from him bringing her back to his own base?

Isn’t this hinting to her not to rely on Aunt Zhou from earlier for help, as they all rely on him for food...

No wonder he hasn’t locked the doors in this small fishing village, not even worried about her going out to find the fishermen...

The hopeful yet anxious expression she had just shown fell into Feng Huaimu’s eyes, was it merely a joke? She let him see the joke through!

After coming to this realization, Xu Haohao suddenly became embarrassed and angry, instinctively raising her hand to slap Feng Huaimu’s face hard.

Feng Huaimu raised his hand to hold her small hand and asked with a smile, ”Shall we have fish soup tonight?”

Xu Haohao was so angry it hurt her liver; she wasn’t as rich as him, as intelligent, or as cunning, always being calculated by him.

Xu Haohao glared fiercely, ”Eat, why not eat?”

Feng Huaimu pulled her up, ”Then why not come with me to the kitchen to cook it? I’m not very good at it.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Haohao, looking at Feng Huaimu’s side profile, suddenly came up with a plan...
