In the end, Su Chen “reluctantly” accepted Tony’s invitation. At the same time, he picked out seven or eight sets of various clothes for Yan Ruyue without spending a single yuan. Of course, Su Chen also didn’t forget to pick a few outfits for Bai Gucheng and Bai Zihang. After all, if it’s free, why not take it?
Wang Dashan and Mu Xuan also handed Su Chen a business card, clearly expressing their intention to befriend him. After loading all the bags into the back seat of the car, Su Chen glanced at Yan Ruyue, who was now wearing the new clothes they had bought.
[Click click, this outfit looks amazing on Yan Ruyue. Having a Secretary Miss like this would surely make a lot of people envious!]
Hearing Su Chen’s unabashed inner thoughts, Yan Ruyue quietly turned her face away to hide her expression.
After finishing their shopping, Su Chen didn’t immediately return to the Bai family. Instead, he strolled around the bustling commercial street with Yan Ruyue.
“Ruyue, is there anything you want to eat or play with?”
Since they were already out, and seeing how inexperienced Yan Ruyue seemed with such things, Su Chen couldn’t resist wanting to take her around.
Yan Ruyue shook her head. Her usual activities were reading or martial arts practice; shopping was completely unfamiliar to her.
Su Chen guessed as much and decided to follow his own plan, first taking her to a romantic French bakery. After some browsing, Su Chen found what Yan Ruyue liked: blueberry cake, cream puffs, and chocolate ice cream!
Watching Yan Ruyue nibble at the desserts like a kitten, Su Chen smiled to himself. So much for a female assassin — when it came to eating sweets, she was just like an ordinary girl!
After that, Su Chen took her to a few fun spots and bought her some jewelry and plush toys. A rare, genuine smile appeared on Yan Ruyue’s face.
Only after the car’s back seat was full of their purchases did the two leave, completely satisfied.
While driving, Su Chen suddenly noticed a shop window displaying several exquisite cosplay outfits!
What shocked him even more was that there wasn’t just Rem, but also Rei Ayanami, Kamisato Ayaka, Yae Miko… even a black Spider-Man suit — cough!
Surprisingly, Yan Ruyue also seemed quite interested in the cosplay outfits.
Without hesitation, Su Chen almost bought out the entire store! Though he spent quite a bit of money, he found it completely acceptable, especially when he thought about how Yan Ruyue would look in those costumes — his nose almost started bleeding.
After returning to the Bai family, Su Chen ordered the butler to have all the clothes moved into the mansion, then excitedly headed to his room.
Just then, a system notification popped up.
[Ding! Congratulations on intercepting Ye Xuan’s Subordinate. You have received one Body Refining Pill and one Cleansing Marrow Pill!]
Since it was a system product, Su Chen didn’t even need to think — the quality was bound to be outstanding.
Cleansing Marrow Pill: Clears impurities from the body, unblocking meridians and eliminating toxins!
These items sounded just like those from an urban cultivation novel!
However, the effects seemed pretty good.
Su Chen carefully locked the door, then swallowed both pills in one go. As soon as they entered his stomach, a wave of heat surged through his entire body, gathering toward his heart.
What was this feeling? It was almost intoxicating!
A warm current coursed through Su Chen’s body — it was an incredibly pleasant sensation, like soaking in a hot spring.
The Body Refining Pill and Cleansing Marrow Pill began working simultaneously. Within minutes, Su Chen experienced a miraculous fusion of ice and fire.
Moments later, Su Chen opened his eyes, feeling refreshed. As he moved, he noticed how incredibly light and relaxed his body felt, even his bones felt softer.
Then, three system notifications popped up.
[Body Refining Pill consumed, Physique +5!]
[Cleansing Marrow Pill consumed, Appearance +5!]
[Cleansing Marrow Pill consumed, Health +5!]
Su Chen was thrilled with the results, though it was a pity there were only two pills.
He soon noticed an uncomfortable sticky layer covering his body — it was black impurities forced out of his system.
Su Chen quickly took a shower to rinse off all the impurities.
Just as he put on his bathrobe, he suddenly noticed the bathroom door was pushed open.
Su Chen immediately became alert — he had clearly locked his room. How could someone get in so easily?
“Who…? Oh, Ruyue! It’s you?”
The person who entered was none other than his new Secretary Miss, Yan Ruyue.
But today, she looked completely different. She was wearing one of the cosplay outfits they had just bought — dressed as Yae Miko, complete with fox ears on her head. The exquisite outfit, combined with her stunning face and figure, almost perfectly recreated Yae Miko.
Su Chen swallowed hard without making a sound. Damn it, this was a serious test of willpower!
“I came to help you scrub your back.”
“Ah? But I just…”
Before he could finish, Yan Ruyue had already begun her task.
Su Chen swallowed his words and let her proceed.
“Ruyue, what are you doing? I’m a proper man!”
Su Chen tried to act righteously, grabbing Yan Ruyue’s mischievous hand.
Yan Ruyue’s face turned even redder, but her heart was resolute — she had made up her mind to follow Su Chen.
From Su Chen, she saw a reflection of her older brother — someone who genuinely cared for her feelings.
Buying her clothes, patiently picking out snacks and toys — these were things Yan Ruyue was experiencing for the first time in her life.
Moreover, with her ability to hear Su Chen’s Inner thoughts, she felt like he was always there with her, even if most of his Inner thoughts were quite improper…
Su Chen was a bit puzzled by Yan Ruyue’s actions. As far as he was concerned, she had a pitiful background but was ultimately Ye Xuan’s spy.
Thus, he wasn’t about to lower his guard completely.
However, with his Diamond Vajra Body, even a full-scale assassination was meaningless to him, let alone something from Yan Ruyue.
And besides, why would she even bother assassinating a mere “lackey” like him now?
Determined to express her feelings, Yan Ruyue steeled herself.
Before Su Chen could stop her, he gasped.
Turns out Little Su Chen had been captured!
Well then, since you’re being so unkind, don’t blame me for being ruthless!
Gritting his teeth, Su Chen scooped Yan Ruyue up and carried her to the bedroom.
That night was destined to be anything but peaceful…
