Let's Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 64: Chapter 64 National Idol (34)
Three months later.

Chuzheng returned to the villa she hadn’t been back to in a long time and almost thought she had walked into the wrong place when she opened the door.

There were a lot of new things in the villa, which no longer felt empty and desolate, without any signs of life.

Chuzheng sighed and walked into the villa.

“Meow~”

The now-grown Little Cat ran over, affectionately rubbing against Chuzheng’s pant leg. It clearly still recognized its owner, despite several months of absence.

Chuzheng picked it up and gave it a good rub with her hand.

“Mao Tuan.” The housekeeper, hearing the call, came out from the kitchen and, seeing someone standing at the door, hurriedly said, “President Gu, you’re back. I’m here to take care of Mao Tuan at Mr. Su’s request…”

Chuzheng nodded, kicked her suitcase inside, and walked in holding Mao Tuan, “Where’s Su Jiu?”

“Mr. Su has a press conference, he’ll be back later tonight.”

“Has he been living here this whole time?”

The housekeeper nodded subconsciously, then felt it was strange; where else would Mr. Su live if not here? Weren’t they cohabiting? Everyone on the internet knew that…

“Do you want me to tell Mr. Su?” the housekeeper asked.

“No need.”

Chuzheng carried Mao Tuan upstairs. There were many more things there as well, making her wonder if she would still recognize this place if she came back after some time.

Chuzheng put Mao Tuan on the bed, and the cat waved its tail and meowed.

“Mao Tuan,” Chuzheng tapped its head lightly.

What a ridiculous name, only he would come up with it.

“Meow~”

Chuzheng hugged Mao Tuan and rolled onto the bed, the softness felt so comfortable.

–

“Brother Yu, thank you for driving me back.”

“How could I rest easy without personally seeing you back?” If anything happened to this young master, how would he explain to the boss? Pei Yu waved his hand, “Rest well these next few days.”

“Yeah, good night, Brother Yu.”

Su Jiu returned to the villa, and the housekeeper, who was about to leave, informed, “Mr. Su, you’re back.”

“This suitcase?” Su Jiu looked at the suitcase in the living room.

“Oh, President Gu came back this afternoon.”

Su Jiu’s eyes brightened slightly, and his tone was filled with excitement, “She’s back?”

Without waiting for the housekeeper to reply, he rushed upstairs.

The bedroom door wasn’t closed, and Su Jiu saw the person lying on the bed, along with Mao Tuan lying beside her.

Su Jiu walked in, Mao Tuan opened its eyes to look at him, waved its tail, and meowed.

Su Jiu raised a finger, motioning for it to be quiet, and Mao Tuan seemed to understand, quieting down at once.

He knelt by the bed, gazing at the sleeping figure, and brushed away strands of her hair with his fingertips.

Su Jiu cautiously leaned in and left a kiss on her lips.

“Meow~” Mao Tuan squeezed in from below, and Su Jiu quickly held it, fearing it might wake the person on the bed.

“You’re back.”

Su Jiu stiffened, glared at Mao Tuan for a moment, and the cat affectionately rubbed his fingers.

Looking away, Su Jiu softly said, “Didn’t you say it would be another two days before you finished filming? Why didn’t you call me so I could come pick you up?”

Chuzheng held back, snatched Mao Tuan back into her arms, and earnestly groomed it, “I came back earlier.”

Su Jiu: “…”

Not even a hug for him!

Su Jiu dared not snatch Mao Tuan back, watching as Chuzheng petted the cat; if he had known this guy was coming to compete for her affection, he would never have brought it back.

At this moment, all I could do was begrudgingly watch Mao Tuan.

Chuzheng had no other arrangements for the time being. The company’s affairs were managed by professionals, so her only task was to squander money when funds ran low – not afraid of losing money, just afraid that it wouldn’t lose enough.

Employee: “…” What’s it like to have a boss who hopes to lose money every day?

Su Jiu had just finished a busy schedule and finally had some time off, so he suggested going abroad for a vacation.

Chuzheng didn’t want to move, so she rejected his suggestion.

But then, King’s Account sent her a mission, and Chuzheng could only pack her bags—buy a plane and go abroad.

Su Jiu: “…” Do you really need to buy a plane just to go abroad?

“Baby, something doesn’t seem right here,” Su Jiu said as he looked around, puzzled. “Why are we on an island?”

Don’t ask how he knew, because there was a huge banner in front of them that read ‘XX Island Welcomes President Gu and Mr. Su’ – he was not blind.

When we boarded the plane, she clearly agreed to go to Country M, so why are we on an island now?

Chuzheng pulled out sunglasses from nowhere, placed them on the bridge of her nose, and pushed them up a bit: “Don’t you like it?”

Su Jiu choked for a moment: “I like it.”

“Then that settles it.” Chuzheng headed towards the welcoming party, and Su Jiu stood still for a while before following.

As he approached, he just happened to overhear someone talking about buying an island.

Su Jiu: “…”

In his life, he had thought about finding a place to confine her, but that probably wasn’t going to happen now.

She even owned an island!

“Sign,” Chuzheng handed the pen to Su Jiu.

Su Jiu: “???”

The man smiled and handed over the documents: “Mr. Su, just sign here, please.”

Su Jiu, in a daze, finished signing, and the man closed the documents: “Congratulations Mr. Su, do you need to change the name of the island? I have the papers right here; they can take effect immediately.”

Su Jiu: “…” Suddenly owning an island left him at a loss.

The news of Chuzheng buying an island for Su Jiu somehow got out on the internet, instantly stirring up a huge reaction.

[Chuzheng & Su Jiu are the best: Can President Gu and Cutie Su go get married already!]

[Xun Fang & Su’s Liquor: Wealthy people’s love is so terrifying, Su Cutie is the happiest boy in the world, no contest.]

[Flowers as Embroidery: I suspect President Gu is male, is she cross-dressing!]

[Endless Winter Summer: The above is a bit scary.]

[Did Chuzheng & Su Jiu get married today: Are you guys already questioning President Gu’s gender now?]

[Did Chuzheng & Su Jiu feed dog food today: An island! Oh my god! President Gu, are you still looking for a partner? I’m signing up!]

[Miles as if on Air: Get in line!]

The signal on the island wasn’t very good, so Su Jiu didn’t know about the commotion outside. The island’s beautiful scenery and pleasant climate made it perfect for a holiday.

Chuzheng found Su Jiu to be extraordinary, as if wherever he went, he could turn it into a comfortable and cozy place.

This useless and boring skill, why on earth did he learn it?

Chuzheng was quite perplexed at that.

If Su Jiu knew what Chuzheng was thinking, he would probably turn dark immediately and show her a lesson.

–

Chuzheng acted in quite a few dramas, and as her fans said, her choices of roles didn’t change much. Yet, her aloof and domineering demeanor was incredibly enticing, winning over audiences.

From time to time, she and Su Jiu would flaunt their love online—according to the fans. In reality, Chuzheng was clueless; she just wanted to squander wealth and happened to find the right person to take in all those useless things.

Director Yi Fang’s “Infernal Affairs” was released and was a huge box office hit, not only because of the plot but also because of Chuzheng’s acting as the female lead, which made people willing to pay for tickets.

Afterwards, “Infernal Affairs” was nominated for an international film award, and Chuzheng won Best Actress.

Subsequently, Chuzheng and Su Jiu co-starred in a youth drama, which sparked another wave of popularity for the genre and became one of the representative works of youth dramas in recent years.

—The most beautiful love is like a first sighting; it’s like delicate liquor, light and soft, yet the aftertaste lingers on.
