[✓]Spending the Villain's Money to Extend My Life

The system was too fond of playing around with words!

Siyi has yet to figure out what was going on, but immediately acknowledged his boss. “Oh, alright. I will go let the others know about the meeting.”

Huo Sishen’s lips, that he was trying very hard to maintain his cold look, twitched a couple of times.

“Push it off till tomorrow morning.”

Before Siyi was able to process what Huo Sishen had just said, Huo Sishen added with his hoarse voice, “Make it after 10 AM.”

By that time, the certain someone who wanted to do some thigh-hugging... would already have breakfast prepared.

Siyi, “Eh? Oh.”

Then what about Sier? Was he still tossing people over to Africa? Why did he feel that everything that the boss said today was all... bullsh*t?

Siyi turned around and took one more look before he left the study.

He noticed that the boss, who was standing under the light and covered in a layer of orange glow, seemed to have softened. The cold air was mostly dissipated. And his lips were curved upward.... He wanted to smile?

Siyi shuddered and left quickly.

[Received fondness from Huo Sishen!]

Gu Shishi heard the melodious sound of the system notification as she was happily soaking her feet.

The boss must have just had the steak that she had made him.

She had one herself tonight as well. It wasn’t as good as the chef’s cooking, but it was already leaps and bounds ahead of just any other person’s.

She smiled complacently and sent a message over to the boss.

[Was it good? Do let me know if you want anything done differently. HAHA!]

She was just toying with the idea of just how awkward of a return message the tsundere boss would send when she received the instant reply from him.

[My Lifeline Boss: Mmm. Not bad.]

“Huh?”

What happened with the boss today?

Whatever happened to his mean words?

Gu Shishi was stunned for a little bit before she received notification from the system the next second.

[The male lead’s fondness LV3 reached!]

[Host had levelled up to LV3 (The Wife of a Prestigious Family Who Has Seemingly Received the Fondness of Her Husband)]

“Seemingly... received?”

The heck was that?!

Looking at the word choice of the system, Gu Shishi wasn’t sure what to make of that.

So... did that mean she got it or she didn’t get it?

The system was too fond of playing around with words!

Luckily, the good news that followed made her ecstatic immediately.

[Maximum life increased to 10 days.]

[Current life balance: 6 days 13 hours.]

Gu Shishi let out a cry and even kicked the water inside the bucket in excitement!

Ten days... Finally, she could live up to 10 days!!!

Her life! In 2-digit number! After all these humps, it did not come easy!

Lowering her head, she spent some time on appreciating the long health bar on the screen and was so happy that she could not keep her mouth closed.

[Maximum life limit at LV 4: 30 days]
