Title: Spending the Villain's Money to Extend My Life

Chapter 210 - The Boss Has a New Assistant (1)
“What was your big brother’s mood like?”
Gu Shishi glanced over at the clock on the wall .
It was almost 10:30 AM already .
Wonderful . Not only was she late for work, she almost didn’t get up in time to make breakfast for the boss .
Huo ChuChu preciously put her cellphone into her pocket . “You want to hear the truth?”
Even her head of short, rebellious hair seemed smooth and soft today .
Gu Shishi’s lips twitched .
Huo ChuChu, “I have not yet summoned up the courage to walk out of this room the entire morning . ”
Gu Shishi took a deep breath before she slowly brought up the system’s interface .
The dang passive effect of being drunk!
It’s going to cost her her life!
Worried, she checked her stats and her eyes widened right away .
[Remaining Life Balance: 10 days]
[Fondness of the Male Lead: LV4 . 22% progress to LV5 . ]
[Acknowledge of Others: LV3 . 90% progress to LV4 . ]
Happiness had arrived way too soon!
The Fondness of Male Lead had stayed at LV3 just the night before . And now it had broke through to LV4?
Along with 22% progress toward LV5?!
Even Acknowledge of Others was only a skip and a hop away from LV4!
Once that levelled up, she’d be able to live up to 30 days .
And that could happen any day now!
Gu Shishi covered up her face and almost laughed out loud .
Bigger the risk, bigger the reward . The system was so right!
This drinking skill was quite useful?
Gu Shishi was so incredibly happy right now .
So that’s what the tsundere Huo Sishen liked, huh?
Her cheeks turned entirely red right away, all from shame .
Truth was, if that’s the kind of drawings that he enjoyed .
She had plenty of other unspeakable styles that he could choose from other than the after-shower ones .
Gu Shishi started plotting immediately .
A soft and fragile voice rang from next to her .
“I’m sorry . I had misunderstood you .
“You are very talented, smart and beautiful . You are good enough for my brother .
“You have done much more than I did… over these past several years…”
Huo ChuChu had lowered her white head .
“Please, stay with my brother and take care of him for me…”
Gu Shishi raised her brows . “You are taking off?”
Huo ChuChu smiled bitterly and nodded . “My big brother allowing me to stay the night was already the happiest thing that had happened to me in the past 15 years . ”
Gu Shishi suddenly recalled her new assignment .
To allow Huo ChuChu to stay over whenever she wanted to .
But now she was hesitant about it .
Both the brother and the sister had been hurt in the past . Forcing them into anything might not necessarily be the best move .
If the timing wasn’t the best right now, then she’d push this assignment out further .
She did not want Boss Huo to be hurt again .
She could only imagine how he’d retreat back behind his thick shell and block out any care and concerns from others if accidents, however minor, befell on Huo ChuChu .
Thinking about that, Gu Shishi also smiled bitterly .
By now, he was not only someone that she relied on to stay alive, he was also like a friend to her .
Living under the same roof and having showed her kindness so many times, she also wanted to protect him for once .
“Think it through and listen to your heart . ”
Gu Shishi nodded .
“Have the chauffeur take you back?”
Huo ChuChu acknowledged but turned back around just when she was about to walk out of the door .
“Sis… sister-in-law, can I ask you for one more favor?”
The way Huo ChuChu had addressed to her made Gu Shishi blushed .
But what she said after that truly stunned her .
Huo ChuChu, too, seemed to feel a bit awkward .
“Can you please help me draw a series of comics?
“The title will be The Childhood of My Brother and I…”
“Huh?”
Inside the highest 22nd floor of HB’s China headquarter .
Huo Sishen was listening to Siyi’s reports from behind his desk .
Half an hour later, he nodded and signed the document .
After he had stepped out, he was stopped by a soft and delicate voice .
“Boss .
“My name is Xu Jiao and I am your new assistant . This is my first day . ”
