Transmigrating Into a Book, the Villain Becomes the White Moonlight!

12: Have you spent all the money you earned in Chapter 12?Throughout the meal, Wang Xiu and Lin Wan were almost completely unable to get a word in, only able to listen to the two men discuss the enormous sums of money and grand business concepts that were beyond their imagination.

It wasn’t until Su Bai left that Wang Xiu spoke up, full of worry: ”Investing a billion all at once... what if it’s all lost...”

”Lost?” Lin Guohua smiled, his tone carrying a hint of sentiment and an indescribable complexity. ”For his Su Family to lose a billion might be as simple as us ordinary people drinking a glass of water. What surprises me now isn’t the billion, but this child... that near-absolute confidence of his, as if everything he describes is destined to become reality step by step, exactly according to his thoughts.”

”You don’t believe Su Bai?” Wang Xiu asked, puzzled.

”It’s not that I don’t believe him, it’s just that I’m a bit afraid to believe. You don’t know the current state of the game market; it’s true that people play them, but in his head, this game is almost turning into a sports event. Can that be believed?” Lin Guohua said, shaking his head.

Immediately after, Lin Guohua looked at his daughter, who had been silent the whole time, and asked, ”How have you and Su Bai been getting along this past week?”

”Just so-so,” Lin Wan responded.

This week, Su Bai had left a rather poor impression on her, getting worse by the day. Today was even more bizarre—he talked about spending a billion the moment he opened his mouth.

Describing him as a ”playboy” would be considered a compliment.

”Tell Uncle Fu next week that I’ll go to school by myself; no need for them to pick me up.” She turned and entered her bedroom without looking back. The door closed gently with a soft click, cutting off the conversation in the living room.

Lin Guohua and Wang Xiu glanced at each other, both seeing the same helplessness in the other’s eyes.

Their daughter’s rejection of Su Bai was obvious. As parents, they could neither force their daughter to like him nor influence the Su Family’s thoughts.

The only silver lining was that, for now, Su Bai himself didn’t seem to show any strong interest in their daughter or a ”must marry her” attitude.

This was a blessing in disguise.

If the Su Family really took a hard line, given the Lin Family’s current situation of living at the mercy of others, Lin Guohua knew he had no room to resist or refuse.

On the street.

The black sedan drove smoothly. Su Bai looked at the glittering street scene outside the window and suddenly said, ”Uncle Fu, pull over for a bit. You go back first; I’ll just wander around.”

Uncle Fu glanced at the young master through the rearview mirror, his mind clear as a bell—this kid must be bored out of his mind again and looking for some fun.

He sighed helplessly and reminded him, ”Young Master, remember to come home early. Also, that billion-dollar game investment... hasn’t been officially signed yet.”

The implication was not to play too wildly outside and neglect important business.

”I know, I know,” Su Bai waved his hand dismissively, pushed open the car door, and lazily blended into the neon-lit crowd.

”Feasting and revelry”—nothing could more aptly describe the urban nights of this novel’s world.

With his hands in his pockets, Su Bai walked aimlessly, eventually habitually entering a high-end shopping center he often frequented.

Just as he stepped into the entrance of a luxury shoe store, two sales assistants in crisp suits immediately greeted him with warm and humble smiles: ”Good evening, Young Master Su Bai!”

”Mhm,” Su Bai responded casually, his gaze scanning the store. ”Are all this month’s new arrivals on the shelves?”

”What a coincidence, Young Master Su Bai!” The leading male manager bowed slightly, his tone respectful. ”A batch of new products just arrived this afternoon. Shall I take you to see them?”

”Let’s see them.” Su Bai followed him into the store and glanced at the seven or eight pairs of shoes with different designs displayed on the shelves. His interest didn’t seem very high. ”Just these few pairs?”

The sales assistant’s smile remained unchanged as he explained patiently, ”Young Master Su Bai, these are all the new arrivals for this week. As for the styles from last month, haven’t you already picked through them all?”

Su Bai curled his lip. Facing the empty, massive villa at home was truly boring; rather than going back to stare into space, it was better to kill time here.

”Fine then, wrap all of these up. Same as usual, send them directly to my house.”

”Certainly, Young Master Su Bai! I’ll arrange it for you immediately!” The sales assistant was clearly long accustomed to his ”clear out the new arrivals” shopping style and immediately began directing other staff to start packing with practiced ease.

The unchallenging shopping process ended quickly.

Just as Su Bai was starting to feel a bit bored, a rich and enticing sweet aroma suddenly wafted over, catching his attention.

He followed the scent and saw an exquisitely decorated bakery.

Su Bai touched his seemingly empty stomach and instinctively walked toward it.

”Pack two of these for me.” Su Bai pointed to an exquisite chocolate mousse in the display window and called out toward the counter.

”Coming!” a clear female voice responded, followed by the sound of slightly hurried footsteps.

The voice sounded a bit familiar. Su Bai instinctively turned his head, and when he saw who it was, he couldn’t help but be stunned. ”Why are you here?”

Standing behind the counter was Mu Xue, wearing the bakery’s uniform apron over her school uniform. She clearly hadn’t expected to run into Su Bai here either; a flash of panic instantly crossed her face, her fingers unconsciously twisting the edge of her apron as her voice dropped: ”I...”

”Wrap this up for me.” Su Bai didn’t wait for her explanation and interrupted her directly, his tone as flat as if he were dealing with a completely strange clerk.

His gaze turned back to the glass display case on the other side as he continued to select other pastries.

As if receiving an order, Mu Xue immediately lowered her head, skillfully taking out a packaging box and ribbon, and carefully placed those two expensive chocolate mousses inside.

Her movements were a bit stiff, and her eyes looked as if she wanted to look but didn’t dare.

To be honest, this unexpected encounter left Mu Xue feeling so embarrassed she didn’t know what to do with herself.

Over the past week, that somewhat lazy face had broken into her dreams almost every night, leaving her restless.

But in reality, for a full seven days, they had no interaction whatsoever, not even eye contact.

She felt she was going crazy; first, she had been possessed by greed and sold herself for money, and now she actually found herself uncontrollably thinking back to that night and this man.

”And this, and this, wrap them up too.” Su Bai selected a few more cute-looking macarons and cream puffs.

He took out his phone, scanned the payment code on the counter, and asked as if it were routine business, ”How much?”

”A total of... two hundred and twenty yuan.” Mu Xue hurriedly reported the price, her voice still very soft.

The payment notification chime rang out clearly.

Su Bai took the heavy, beautifully packaged paper bag from Mu Xue’s hand. He didn’t leave immediately but looked her over and suddenly asked, ”Spent all the money you earned?”
