“Okay, okay, thanks for looking after me, brother.”

Old Huo, holding Dust Beater’s hand, thanked him profusely and said,

“Luckily for professionals like you, otherwise if it were just me handling this alone, no matter how much I rack my brains, I’d only be able to piece together a shoddy place that wouldn’t see the light of day.

I heard you and Brickmover haven’t graduated yet?

Truly, a hero rises from youth!

So, once you’ve graduated and started your own company, I’ll refer some big projects to you—I have a few family homes back in my hometown that need some renovation too.”

“Ah, this…”

Dust Beater had never expected to land a job inside the game, he scratched his head and pushed up his glasses, saying earnestly:

“I have a senior who has started a company; I can guarantee that he is also one of Old Chen’s protégés.”

“Good, give me his contact details.”

Life is pretty good saw Chenyu nearby, so he ended the conversation with a hearty laugh.

Dust Beater went towards the construction site with blueprints in hand, while Old Huo looked around before approaching Chenyu.

He whispered softly,

“Are you coming over tonight?”

“No, Xiuhua is all probing in her words…

That girl is really keen on these matters.”

Chenyu sighed and said,

“Seems like I really need to move out, otherwise sneaking out for a date is the only way.”

“It’s you who insisted on waiting until you’ve saved enough money before going public with our relationship…”

Old Huo sighed exasperatedly and said,

“You know I don’t care about these things, and even when you have saved enough and we go public, people will still say you’re a gold digger.

What’s the point?

It’s like we are thieves, when we’ve been together for nearly five years.”

“You don’t understand.”

Chenyu shook her head, with a defiant expression,

“I have my principles; I don’t want to become a vine wrapped around a big tree, dependent on someone else to reach the sunlight.

No one can change where they come from, but the least I can do is make myself a better person so that I don’t feel inferior when we’re together.

Don’t overthink it.

It’s just the way I’ve always been.”

“Whatever you say, who asked me to fall for a strong-willed Handsome Girl?”

Life is pretty good laughed, looked around and then bent down to plant a kiss on Chenyu’s cheek.

Then he took Chenyu’s hand and looked back at the building being constructed behind them.

He said confidently,

“As you said, no one can change where they come from, just like my childhood friend who is clumsily trying to prove himself.

I really want to see, if we remove the influence of family background, whether I’m as outstanding as I believe I am.

If I were put into the same environment you grew up in, could I become someone as exceptional as you?”

“Indeed, I haven’t seen you this eager in a long time.”

Chenyu tilted her head and leaned on Old Huo’s shoulder, saying softly,

“Indeed, a man full of fighting spirit is the most attractive, like a general setting off to war, so handsome that for a moment, it makes me want to have a child with you…”

“Wow!

How about tonight…”

“Shut up!

Don’t ruin the mood.”

“Oh.”

—

“Look, look, look!

I told you those two were an item!”

At this moment, hiding in the shadows not far from the construction site, Xiuhua—the assassin who had slipped out earlier—was under the tree, using her Calculating Pearl to record the scene while sharing with her two sisters in the office:

“I’m telling you, I heard someone opening and closing doors the night before last, you two insisted that I heard wrong, but I knew it!

Chenyu, that little vixen, is keeping secrets from us.

Wow, she really is heading towards the life of a rich wife.”

“Are you truly naive or are you pretending to be dumb?”

Biyue couldn’t help but mock,

“Do you think that we’ve lived with Chenyu in the apartment for almost three years without noticing these things?

Everyone just didn’t want to point it out directly, except for you, the youngster, making a fuss.

Now, be good and stop peeking.

It’d be terrible if you got caught.

You have no idea how scary Chenyu can be when she’s angry.

Come back now!”

“No hurry, let me watch a little longer!”

Xiuhua’s gaze remained riveted on Chenyu’s and Old Huo’s interaction.

At that moment, she felt her desire for gossip was immensely satisfied, and she kept thinking about how she hadn’t chosen the wrong profession in the game.

The rogue career was truly the most suitable for her.

Look at that!

How thrilling!

This feeling of eavesdropping on other people’s secrets is just too awesome.

“Xiuhua!

Xiuhua!

What are you doing up in the trees?

Let’s go, we’re waiting for you for the raid.

I’m telling you, I just got a super cool item; I’ll open your eyes with it.”

Just as Xiuhua was trembling with excitement at the sight of Chenyu and Old Huo about to kiss, Xiaowei’s enthusiastic scream suddenly came from above, jolting Xiuhua and she couldn’t even bother to respond, as she jumped down from the tree.

“Ah!”

A cry of pain followed, startling Old Huo and Chenyu to rush over, only to see Xiuhua having fallen in a most undignified faceplant onto the ground.

“My ankle…

I twisted my ankle.”

Tears streamed down her face from the pain.

But when Xiuhua saw Old Huo covering his eyes in resignation and Chenyu with her arms crossed, an angry look on her face, she managed a sheepish smile and said,

“So, would you two believe me if I said I didn’t see anything just now?”
