After the Breakup, He Obtained the Krypton Gold Return Shenhao System

46: Chapter 46 There’s someone else’s scent on meInvesting in Sister Hong was the result of Zhao Xiaoshuai’s careful consideration.

These old-timers who’ve clawed their way up from the bottom rungs of society might not have much personal power, but their ’connections’ are certainly numerous and unconventional.

This was precisely what he was sorely lacking.

Moreover, his cost of trial and error was low, or rather, there was virtually no cost of trial and error at all.

It’s like shaking the tree to see if any dates fall. If it works out, not only will he gain connections but also a foundation. If it fails, he can just consider it as making a friend.

But Sister Hong didn’t see it that way. At this moment, having received the first tangible sum of money, her heart was surging with excitement, her smile radiant like a flower:

’Boss Zhao is as straightforward as ever! I’ll start making arrangements right away. First, I’ll set up a company account. As for the report, when would you like it?’

’Tomorrow morning. I don’t like working at night.’

Leaving Honglangman, Sister Hong personally saw him to his car. Zhao Xiaoshuai had originally intended to find a place to further ’develop’ Ling Rui, to do some things lovers do together.

But on the way, he received a text from Guan Xiaosu, which changed his subsequent plans.

’Anan went to her grandma’s to play.’

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly as he replied: ’Get cleaned up and wait for me.’

Putting down his phone, Zhao Xiaoshuai didn’t rush headlong to Guan Xiaosu’s home. Instead, he instructed Ling Rui to drive to the nearest large shopping mall.

He had always thought that with Guan Xiaosu’s figure, if she wore a cheongsam or one of those trendy new Chinese-style dresses, it would be absolutely killer.

In the end, he selected a black cheongsam, thinking it would suit Guan Xiaosu’s elegance perfectly.

However, this one wasn’t suitable for wearing during sports, so he went to another shop and picked out a high-slit QQ cheongsam.

He was about to leave, but seeing the pitiful-looking follower trailing behind him, he remembered a stockings gift set promoted by a suggestive streamer he’d watched yesterday and couldn’t help but want Ling Rui to try it on.

He searched around, and this shop happened to have it.

It was a ’Midnight Pearl’ stockings gift set from Jirun, whose appearance was very suitable for Ling Rui’s office lady style.

More importantly, the essence of this gift set was that small string of pearls.

’From now on, wear this to work every day.’

Zhao Xiaoshuai bought several sets in total, enough for her to change and wash. Ling Rui also accepted her master’s gift with great delight.

’Understood, boss.’

Leaving the mall and arriving at the building where Guan Xiaosu lived, he dismissed his little driver and, carrying two gifts, rang the doorbell.

Guan Xiaosu opened the door quickly. She was wearing loose loungewear, and traces of undried water were visible on her skin.

’I bought you two outfits. Try them on.’

Although no obvious expression showed on her face, one could see from her eyes that she was very happy to receive Zhao Xiaoshuai’s gift.

Picking up the two outfits, she walked into the bedroom, leaving the door half-closed. Zhao Xiaoshuai took this opportunity to take a shower.

When he entered, he had noticed that a full set of men’s toiletries had been added to Guan Xiaosu’s home, and a set of clean men’s underwear was hanging in the bathroom.

Wearing the underwear from the bathroom, he came out just in time to see Guan Xiaosu, now in a black, form-fitting cheongsam, striking various poses by the mirror.

Her slender, tall figure was simply perfect for the cheongsam, and her elegant swan neck was accentuated even more beautifully.

Looking at Guan Xiaosu at this moment, whose temperament and the cheongsam seemed naturally fused, he couldn’t help but step forward and embrace her. ’Do you like it?’

’I like it.’

Guan Xiaosu grabbed Zhao Xiaoshuai’s wandering hand. ’Don’t. Let me go change into the other one.’

It was clear she genuinely liked this outfit.

Not long after, seeing Guan Xiaosu emerge again, Zhao Xiaoshuai could no longer restrain himself and led her back to the bedroom.

Unlike usual, Guan Xiaosu was extremely passionate when aroused, as if she had been storing up energy all along, just for this moment’s explosion.

If not for Zhao Xiaoshuai’s current four-point increase in all combat attributes, he might have repeated the fiasco of his first encounter with Xu Yuyan.

Her constitution was very special; even at the peak of passion, she remained slightly cool. However, energy is, after all, conserved.

He actually experienced the peculiar sensation of ice and fire simultaneously on one person.

’Have you chosen a kindergarten?’

’It’s chosen.’

Holding the cool little pillow, feeling physically and mentally content, Zhao Xiaoshuai suddenly remembered Guan Xiaosu’s university major.

’How much of your university professional knowledge do you still retain?’

’I have my lawyer’s qualification, but Anan can’t be without me.’

’That’s perfect then. I’m recently investing in a project. Come be my legal counsel. It won’t be too busy.’

’Mm.’

Guan Xiaosu’s taciturn, ice-cold demeanor like this really could stir one’s desires.

It made one want to melt this ice and see if it was still so cold inside.

Thus, the second battle commenced.

After a satisfied kiss goodbye to Guan Xiaosu, he checked the time. The smell of alcohol had mostly faded, so he returned to iSport, drove the Corolla, and went to his Sister-in-law’s place for a meal.

This time, with the sage buff, he felt he should be able to stay a bit longer.

Because it was a surprise visit, his Sister-in-law was at home practicing pilates using her phone’s screen mirroring.

’This little girl isn’t old, but her body is developing really well. It’s all thanks to my feeding efforts.’

Chu Xinyi didn’t treat him as an outsider. After opening the door, she didn’t bother with formalities and continued to finish her set of exercises on her own.

Although it was just ordinary home yoga wear, paired with her otherworldly looks and precocious figure, Zhao Xiaoshuai felt the sage state was about to leave him.

He had to find a topic to distract himself:

’You little narcissist, starting pilates at such a young age?’

’I’ve been feeling fatter and fatter lately, and it’s all your fault! Stop sending me those food pictures all the time!’

His Sister-in-law pouted with a serious face.

’Someday I’ll introduce you to a sister. You can learn from her. I guarantee you’ll develop the world’s second most perfect figure.’

’Why the world’s second? You look down on me?’

’Because that sister’s figure is practically unbeatable. A little girl like you can’t compare to her yet.’

Chu Xinyi was a bit unconvinced. She wanted to see just how good this ’world’s first’ her brother-in-law spoke of really was.

’By the way, since I’m not going back for New Year’s, remember to take this tobacco and alcohol to Old Chu. He’s fond of these things.’

’Got it.’

Because no groceries were bought in advance, the two simply had a meal.

In truth, after being struck by Chu Ziqing’s ’first sword after reaching shore,’ Zhao Xiaoshuai had accumulated a lot of resentment in his heart.

Coupled with the Cheat Dad’s influence, he could have easily let the desires in his heart run wild, ultimately sinking into an abyss from which there was no return.

However, a timely text from his Sister-in-law had called him to this home and pulled him back from that unknowable path.

The warmth here had become a harbor in Zhao Xiaoshuai’s heart. As long as he came here to rest from time to time, he could rediscover the right direction in life.

He was deeply attached to this place.

But he was also afraid of this place, not daring to stay too long, afraid of ruining everything.

Watching her brother-in-law, who always left in a hurry for some reason, Chu Xinyi frowned:

’You have the scent of unfamiliar women on you. And more than one.’
