Chapter 51 – Tonight I have to sleep with her
Shen Gu, who was unaware of Zhou Huahai's sinister plan, felt a bit embarrassed as he arrived at the door of the rental house and took out his keys. Before leaving, he had promised to let Lin Mumu enjoy some peaceful time alone in the house for a while. However, he had only been gone for a little over an hour after buying colored stationery in the city.
As he cautiously opened the door with his key, he looked towards the sofa in the living room. The TV was still playing animal channels, but the Little White Cat on the sofa seemed to be sleeping soundly. Lin Mumu, who sensed someone approaching, opened one eye and glanced at Shen Gu before closing it again and falling back asleep. She seemed to be completely unconcerned about why Shen Gu had returned early.
"Maybe I should have the bedding seller send another set over," Shen Gu thought to himself.
While in the taxi, Shen Gu had tried calling his two other roommates, Lu Hao and Zhang Yue, but their phones were both unanswered. He suspected that they might also be under the control of Zhou Huahai's people. In this situation, it was not a good idea to return to the dormitory at Morningside University at night or even just to go back to the dormitory to get something.
Having made a decision, Shen Gu was afraid of disturbing Lin Mumu by making a phone call in the living room, so he went into the northern bedroom, closed the door, and called the bedding seller to have them send another set of bedding over. He arranged for payment upon delivery.
Soon after, a food delivery rider knocked on the door and disturbed Lin Mumu's peaceful sleep. However, upon seeing the salmon and teriyaki chicken leg rice, the Little White Cat perked up and eagerly awaited for Shen Gu to open the food container for her. Shen Gu had ordered two servings of chicken leg rice and some spicy duck necks.
Lin Mumu sniffed at the spicy duck necks, took a bite, and then put the leftover bones on a tissue box on the coffee table. She then said to Shen Gu, "This tastes pretty good. It's not too spicy, but it's still satisfying!"
Shen Gu opened a bottle of peach juice that came with the duck necks and said regretfully, "It seems like this rental house is still missing a lot of things. If we had small bowls or paper cups, I could give you some peach juice to try."
"It would be even better to eat these spicy duck necks with a cup of juice!" Lin Mumu said as she took another bite of salmon.
"Anyway, this place is much better than the streets where I used to wander!" she continued. "Even if we're missing something temporarily, you have money, so you can buy things gradually!"
At this point, Lin Mumu seemed to remember something and her expression became more serious.
"What's wrong?" Shen Gu asked, concerned.
"It's nothing," Lin Mumu shook her head. "I just suddenly remembered the system of the previous owner."
"That system constantly brought him massive wealth, but he became increasingly unhappy in the year before he left Shendragon Ridge."
Shen Gu, who was curious about the mysterious person named Dongfang Ming, asked a question he had failed to ask last time, "Since he was so wealthy and later became the richest man in the world, there must have been many girls who liked him, right?"
"Didn't he fall in love with anyone? If he had someone he loved by his side, he wouldn't have abandoned so much wealth and gone to Shendragon Ridge alone, would he?"
Lin Mumu sighed, "How could he not?"
""He once invited a bunch of beauties to go out to sea on a luxury yacht worth hundreds of millions, many of whom were A-list celebrities, supermodels, and stunning flight attendants."
"Just that one night, the alcohol they drank was worth tens of millions!"
"That was also the most extravagant and unrestrained night of his life."
"But after that night, he seemed to suddenly lose interest in beautiful women."
"When he returned to the company, except for occasionally making decisions on major company matters, he spent the rest of his time reading some strange and bizarre books, and secretly writing something in his diary."
Shen Gu listened to the extravagant scene that Dongfang Ming had once been a part of, and then continued to talk about his subsequent abnormal changes.
He suddenly had a whimsical thought and said to Lin Mumu:
"Could it be that after that wild night, he completely lost interest in women?"
"After all, extremes lead to their opposites, and the full moon wanes. Everything has to go downhill after reaching its peak!"
However, Lin Mumu didn't seem to agree with Shen Gu's point of view. She shook her head slightly and said:
"From an ordinary person's perspective, that night might have been his peak."
"But at that time, he was already the richest man in the world. You haven't reached that stage yet, so you definitely don't understand it deeply."
"The happiness of the rich is unimaginable to ordinary people."
"With his strength at that time, holding a yacht party was nothing."
"If he wanted to, he could even raise the level of that party by one, two, or even ten times!"
"So there must be deeper reasons for his subsequent changes."
"But as my master at that time, he didn't want to talk about it, and I couldn't force him to."
Shen Gu picked up a sweet and spicy duck neck and put it in his mouth, slowly eating the meat on it, and fell into a brief contemplation.
About two minutes later, the duck neck in his mouth had been eaten very cleanly.
He then did as Lin Mumu had done before, pulling out a tissue and spreading it on the coffee table in front of him, spitting the duck bones onto it, and then said to Lin Mumu:
"Maybe the girl he particularly liked didn't care about money."
"Even though he later became incredibly wealthy, he couldn't win her heart!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mumu neither explicitly agreed nor disagreed with Shen Gu's words.
"Maybe!"
This novel is available on ".
"But after he became very rich, I never saw him actively pursue any woman."
"The women around him were all attracted by his money and took the initiative to get close to him."
"And he also said that as long as they were enthusiastic around him, it didn't matter whether they were sincere or not!"
Hearing this, Shen Gu felt that Dongfang Ming at that time had become very detached when it came to romantic relationships between men and women.
He no longer commented on Lin Mumu's former master.
After all, Lin Mumu had followed Dongfang Ming for many years, and he didn't want to say anything wrong that would make her feel unhappy or sad.
When the sky began to darken, the merchant who was supposed to deliver the bedding finally sent the goods.
This set of good bedding cost Shen Gu more than a thousand RMB.
However, after trying it out, it felt very comfortable, so Shen Gu happily paid the merchant on WeChat.
After the delivery worker left, Lin Mumu began to ask Shen Gu why he changed his mind and wanted to sleep here.
"Is it because you still want to see me in my underwear at night?"
"Sure enough, you, as a man, can't be more noble than other men for long!"
Hearing Lin Mumu's ambiguous tone, Shen Gu, who had already understood that she was doing this to see his embarrassed expression, had become much calmer this time.
"I did this because the Boss Zhou, who I embarrassed last night, started his revenge on me today!"
Since even the secret of the "system" had been shared with Lin Mumu, Shen Gu also told her the truth about this matter.
What do you think?
