Chapter 734: New Mission—Buy a Star
According to Rong Qingqing, Shen Jue never gets tired of looking at that child’s face a hundred times a day.Rong Qingqing took off her shoes and curled her feet up on the sofa, looking left and right, and called Shen Jue over, patting the sofa, "Sit here, let me borrow your leg to lie on for a bit. I’m afraid my hair will get messy if I lie directly on the sofa. I still have to go down to meet guests later, and I’m too lazy to fix it again."
Shen Jue, resigned, moved over and watched as Rong Qingqing happily snuggled over. Shen Jue leaned his whole body against the back of the sofa, spread his arms out over the sofa back, and looked down at her with eyes filled with amusement.
"You really look bossy in this position, just like a big boss," Rong Qingqing praised Shen Jue, then reached out and touched Shen Jue’s face, "And I look just like the big boss’s exquisite little lover, lying on the big boss’s legs, going ’ying ying ying.’
After speaking, Rong Qingqing tugged on Shen Jue’s hand, "Now, the little lover pleads with the big boss to lend his noble hand to hold the phone for me."
Holding up a phone while lying down tires the hand.
Rong Qingqing handed her phone to Shen Jue.
Shen Jue couldn’t help but laugh in exasperation at Rong Qingqing’s audacity.
In all the world, only Rong Qingqing would dare have the audacity to order him around like this.
Yet he had no choice but to comply with her wishes.
"Play for a while, lying down and using the phone too long is bad for your eyes." Shen Jue accepted the phone and held it up for her.
Rong Qingqing touched his face with one hand, her palm brushing his chin, while her other hand swiped up and down on the phone Shen Jue was holding.
Shen Jue chuckled.
What big boss? She only buttered him up because she wanted something.
She clearly acts like an empress, touching her consort’s face with one hand while busying herself with something else.
What a scoundrel.
Shen Jue stared at Rong Qingqing’s smiling face for a moment, then closed his eyes.
Forget it, out of sight, out of mind.
He pampered her into this; what else could he do?
Rong Qingqing noticed Shen Jue closing his eyes and grinned mischievously, putting her attention back on her phone.
A phone news popup announced that a meteor had landed in a small, backward fishing village in another country, and scientists on site confirmed it was a complete asteroid from space.
Rong Qingqing clicked on the news to look at the photos and paused, thinking, wow, it’s really big.
Just as Rong Qingqing was about to close the news page, the System suddenly chimed in.
"Host, you have a new task!"
Rong Qingqing’s hand froze mid-swipe, and a bad feeling rose in her heart.
Could it be...?
"Host, new task issued, please have Shen Jue buy you a star within one week. The base reward for this task is ten thousand life hours. Complete the task within the specified time for a double reward, meaning twenty thousand hours of life. Go for it, host!"
Rong Qingqing just knew it; whenever the System stayed quiet, something bad was bound to happen when it spoke.
Since she discovered her pregnancy until now, the System had been mostly silent. She was barely getting by on daily basic tasks and accumulated rewards.
Rong Qingqing had been wondering if the System had died, and if she wasn’t going to live much longer.
Unexpectedly, the System was waiting for her right here.
"System, you mean stars made of paper or flowers, right? I think I could manage within an hour," Rong Qingqing tried to bargain.
"Host, don’t be cheeky, I mean the type of star you’re clearly thinking of but are unwilling to admit," the System replied.
"You’re really something. You just can’t stand Shen Jue’s money peacefully resting in his pocket. I used to think you were Shen Jue’s suck-up System, now I realize you’re his money-burning machine," Rong Qingqing clicked her tongue,
"Today my son is celebrating his full month, and since we’ve known each other for so long, being friends and all, now that you’ve spoken up, aren’t you going to offer a little gift?"
