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

186: Chapter 186 I’ll Give You Some BelowProbably hearing the sound of him coming upstairs, Zhao Xiaoshuai, who had just returned home, came to the first-floor hall and saw a scene that left him somewhat speechless.

He saw Sister-in-law standing on the dining table, hands on her hips, looking down at him with a triumphant expression as he just stepped out of the elevator.

The dining room was right next to the elevator entrance. Sister-in-law’s action was likely a spur-of-the-moment idea in a hurry, as evidenced by two slippers—one horizontal, one vertical—tossed aside on the floor.

Tonight, she was wearing a slightly cropped top and denim hot pants. Below her fair, straight legs, she wasn’t barefoot today but had on a pair of pink-and-white socks.

These were among the many clothes he had bought at Sun Yingxue’s shop.

Back then, he had bought something for each of the women, more or less. Because Sister-in-law had few new clothes growing up, he bought a little extra for her.

Now, all these clothes were piled up in the mansion’s wardrobe room. Each woman would pick a few pieces to take home whenever they visited.

For Sister-in-law, it was even more convenient. Nowadays, she basically wore a new outfit every day, as if playing a dress-up game.

Looking at her expression that seemed to say ’praise me now,’ Zhao Xiaoshuai shook his head. ’Didn’t I teach you when you were little? The table is for eating. How can you just step on it?’

As a child, Chu Xinyi was mischievous and naughty. When she was up to no good, she would jump on the dining table.

He still remembered spanking the little girl back then before she settled down.

But now that the little girl had grown into a graceful young woman, seeing her make such a childish move again, he couldn’t help but let his gaze drift down to those perfect little feet.

’If she weren’t wearing socks, they could barely count as food.’

Sister-in-law’s imposing demeanor vanished, and she obediently let her approaching brother-in-law lift her down from the table.

’Did Mom and Dad agree to move?’

Hearing this, Sister-in-law lifted her chin again. ’With me handling it, it was a piece of cake. How are you going to reward me?’

Although he had already rewarded her with an apartment when he asked for her help earlier, it was clear the little girl didn’t care much about those things.

’I should have spanked you again to make you remember, but this time, let’s consider the merits offsetting the demerits.’

’Hmph, cheapskate!’

’I haven’t eaten yet. Go make me something.’

Sister-in-law checked the time. ’It’s not good to eat too late. It’s too rushed to cook now. I’ll make noodles for you.’

With his mind currently filled with nothing pure, Zhao Xiaoshuai instinctively glanced downward.

Fortunately, Sister-in-law probably didn’t understand the innuendo, only tilting her head slightly in confusion at her brother-in-law’s strange behavior.

Zhao Xiaoshuai smiled awkwardly. ’Alright, go boil the noodles. I’ll use the time to think about your reward.’

’Yay! I knew Brother-in-law was the best!’ Hearing there was another reward, Sister-in-law jumped for joy and gave him a quick, light peck on the cheek.

Watching Sister-in-law bounce off to cook, a very gentle smile unconsciously appeared on Zhao Xiaoshuai’s face.

It was noodle soup with a poached egg.

Even though it’s one of the simplest dishes, there are subtle differences depending on who makes it.

The firmness of the noodles, the saltiness of the broth, even whether the egg is perfectly soft-boiled and to what degree—all vary.

People who enjoy cooking usually also like to watch their food being eaten bite by bite.

So, Sister-in-law sat to the side, resting her chin in her hands, watching contentedly as her brother-in-law slurped up the noodles.

’How about I take you skiing the day after tomorrow? You’re starting school soon. Let’s catch the tail end of winter.’

Sister-in-law’s eyes lit up. She genuinely had never been skiing before, only sliding around on snowy ground. But then her expression dimmed:

’Forget it. Ski resorts are so crowded.’

Because she strictly adhered to the rule her father gave her, Sister-in-law couldn’t show her face in front of outsiders before coming of age.

Actually, rules are flexible. Her 18th birthday wasn’t far off, and even the rigid Father Chu wouldn’t be that strict about the exact timing.

But Chu Xinyi had deep feelings for her father. She knew he had done everything he could to raise her and her sister as well as possible.

Her father wasn’t well-educated, so he didn’t discipline the sisters much. This was the only requirement he ever made.

Out of respect for her father, she meticulously kept this promise.

Zhao Xiaoshuai patted the sulking Sister-in-law’s little head as she layLying down on the table. ’Don’t worry, I’ve got everything arranged for you.’

Sure enough, Sister-in-law quickly regained her energy, springing up instantly. She didn’t even need to ask how her brother-in-law planned to arrange it.

Since childhood, whenever her brother-in-law promised her something, he always made it happen properly.

’Great!’

Looking at the jubilant Sister-in-law, Zhao Xiaoshuai pointed to his other cheek. ’No token of appreciation?’

’You shameless thing! One kiss is enough, and you’re getting addicted! And look at you, you’ve got broth all over your mouth. How can I kiss that?’

’You’re not kissing my lips, so why so picky?’ But he quickly wiped his mouth with a napkin. ’Clean now?’

Before he could finish, Sister-in-law gave him another quick, light peck, then promptly took the finished bowl and chopsticks to the kitchen dishwasher.

Only this time, perhaps because the kiss was rushed, the peck intended for his cheek landed slightly at the corner of his mouth instead.

It was unclear whether she noticed it herself.

Zhao Xiaoshuai lightly touched the corner of his mouth with his fingertip, savoring the softness of that moment.

Chu Xinyi busied herself in the kitchen with her back to her brother-in-law, but in reality, her face was already flushed with shyness.

That long-planned peck made her heart pound wildly in her chest.

’Sister Wenwen and the others all look sorevel when they kiss. I thought it would be sweet, but it’s nothing special, doesn’t really taste like anything.’

Entering the study, Zhao Xiaoshuai turned on the computer.

To raise his reputation as soon as possible and achieve the next stage of the main mission evaluation, he had done three things.

First, of course, was a series of actions related to the charity fund, aiming to get as much coverage as possible in local news.

Second, he opened an account on various platforms called ’Inheriting Zhao Gongming’s Legacy,’ mainly posting about daily luxuries, luxury cars, and mansions.

Posts like ’Taking Delivery of the Mansion,’ ’Just Bought a maybach,’ ’Gifting My Girlfriend a Place to Stay’—all edited and uploaded by hired help—had recently gained tens of thousands of followers.

However, the number of supporters meeting the system’s requirements wasn’t high, only about two or three hundred.

Third was still a social media account, but as a gaming streamer. Using the ID ’Only Recharging a Billion Points a Day,’ he released a video series linked to that ninja game titled ’Power-Up Series: Aiming for #1 in the Region.’

Every day, it was the same monotonous video of recharging 60 times 648, then using the gold coins to upgrade magatama and boost power. But the rate of gaining fans was even faster than the account flaunting wealth.

Fansonlookers his ’ruthlessly extravagant’ spending had exceeded fifty thousand, providing about three thousand supporters.

He was currently only about a thousand supporters short of meeting the main mission evaluation requirements, and he believed it would happen in the next few days.

Once the evaluation improved again, his daily cashback limit would increase to ten million!
