The Villain’s Contract Lover - CH 072
Title: The Villain’s Contract Lover
Translator: Fringe Capybara
Chapter 72 - "Is there anything else on your mind other than the $50 million?" (2)
Having said that, Mu Ling looked over at Aunt Hu who was still yakking on the phone. She pulled the apron off of Xu WanZhi and said suggestively, “That’s enough. Xiao Tong and the others can finish off the rest. From now on, we really need to implement some sort of merit system. The hardworking ones can be free to take the bird’s nest and shark fins home; the ones who slacks all the time, we should just kick out.”
Aunt Hu might look like she was talking on the phone but she was really paying attention as to what was going on in Xu WanZhi’s direction. Feeling embarrassed from Mu Ling’s words, she quickly hung up on the phone and ran back inside of the old madam’s room.
Mu Ling was the old madam’s favorite daughter. She was kept by the old madam’s side to see her off on her final days. Aunt Hu might speak to Mu ZhenYu and Mu XiYuan as though she was their elder but she would not dare go up against Mu Ling.
This dinner could rival the Hongman Banquet. Up until the point that Xu WanZhi and Mu ZhenYu were leaving, neither Wang LiZhen nor the old madam showed up again.
That night, “Blossoming Us” has a few more scenes to finish up so Mu ZhenYu took Xu WanZhi back to the studio. On their way back, Xu WanZhi told Xiao Yuan to send the watch and the brooch from Brand B over to the Mu’s. The brooch for the old madam and the watch for Mu Ling.
Mu ZhenYu sat in the backseat with his eyes close, resting. After Xu WanZhi got off the phone with Xiao Yuan, he slowly opened up his eyes and said, “You are giving way that expensive watch? Aren’t you worry that you won’t be able to make your money back?”
Xu WanZhi smiled and said the same thing again, “I have good work ethics.”
Mu ZhenYu, hearing that, suddenly looked at her in all seriousness. He turned toward her and asked, “Xu WanZhi, are there anything else in your mind other than our $50 million contract?”
His question was abrupt and didn’t have enough time to process what he meant by that. She just casually responded to him, “You were the one who brought up whether I can make my money back…”
Mu ZhenYu gave her a displeased look, rotated his body back, and looked outside of the window.
For some odd reasons, Xu WanZhi felt that he looked a bit lonely from behind.
‘Tis was the middle of summer and the air was stuffy and the cicadas chirped loudly. Inside the car was eerily quiet. Her mind went blank for a few seconds before she suddenly realized what he meant by “anything else”. She looked at him and asked softly, “What about you? Are there any?”
Looking at the neon lights outside, Mu ZhenYu’s tall and slender body shuddered. After a little while, he finally said softly, “More than you do.”
Xu WanZhi was stunned by his comment all of a sudden.
When she wanted to say something else, the car had already arrived at their destination and stopped abruptly. Mu ZhenYu didn’t say anything else but walked out, walked around to her side of the car, and opened the door for her. “The coconut is in the trunk. Drink lots of fluid and come home soon.”
Xu WanZhi walked past him with her head lowered but he caught sight of the blush on her nonetheless.
Looking at her petite back, his lips curved upward softly.
“Blossoming Us” was a period drama. Part I focused on life in school. That way there was a lot of group scenes. Coincidentally, there was a nerd type character in the male and female leads’ class who wore thick glasses, bowl-cut hair, mature and a bit impatient.
The person who played this nerd has a pretty good relationship with Xu WanZhi. He was also a very by-the-book kind of person in real life and looked just like a traditional doctor.
Xu WanZhi asked him to take on the task of pretending to be a traditional doctor to go treat Mu XiYuan and promised him the payment equivalent to what he makes filming for one episode of the show. The nerd was very happy about the offer and promised her profusely that he’d do a good job.
