Chapter 56 - Missed ("WanWan, it will be alright") (1)

Xu WanZhi froze on the spot. She didn't know how to answer that question.

Who was she?

She was a fox demon who had cultivated for 500 years but failed to transform, she was the little fox that he held in his hands and praised that it knew who its owner was, she was also the one who had the godly viewpoint of the book and knew all about his fate in the days to come.

She has many identities. Which one was he asking about?

Or... did he just think she was someone else because he was drunk?

Another lightning sliced through the sky and, immediately after that, a thunder roared from nowhere. She was so frightened that she just wanted to get away as quickly as possible.

Finally, she took a deep breath and said softly, "I... I am WanWan."

She was little fox WanWan before she had transmigrated. It was not entirely a lie.

Mu ZhenYu paused for a bit after he heard that. It seemed he believed her. He mumbled her name, "WanWan... WanWan..."

"Mmm." Strangely, she felt more relieved all of a sudden, as though a big weight had been lifted off of her. She sat back down on his bed and said, "I am right here."

Feeling her closeness, the corners of his mouth lifted in content. He mumbled to her, "WanWan... I have deposited the first month's payment already."

She was baffled. "What was that again?"

"Your $50 million. I have transferred over your first payment into your account."

That's when it dawned on her that he was referring to her payment of being his contracted lover – her work ethic was so strong that she had completely forgotten about it!

50 million yuan, split into six payments, that's over 8 million yuan for each installment.

She looked up at the ceiling and did the math in her head. Regardless of whether he was drunk out of his mind, she said to him excitedly, "You mean we have $8 million? Do you think we will be able to buy the mansion back then? Pay for the down payment and slowly pay it off? Will $8 million be enough? Your mansion wasn't that close to the center of the city, maybe that will be enough..."

He rolled over to face her. His head on her thigh. "You like the mansion that much? It's so big and empty. What do you like about it?"

When he was drunk, his words were dragged out and she found that oddly cute. For a brief second there, she almost felt that it was easier to communicate with him now than normal.

Stroking his hair lightly, she said, "I don't really care either way, but you are so big and huge. You make this place seems so crowded. The house seemed to be filled to the brim whenever you are home. It seems... you are better able to stretch out over at the mansion."

She looked down at him and chuckled. "But, $8 million probably isn't going to be enough. That house looks to be very expensive."

He was listening to her quietly and didn't respond for a long time. She thought he was asleep and was going to take her hand back and leave.

He chuckled all of a sudden. "You silly girl."

Outside of the window, the rain was pouring down along with gusts of wind and thunders that had never stopped. She looked out the window, slightly frightened. Her palms were clammy.

He laughed for a long time before he stopped. "Have you forgotten? I can survive in a garbage dump. Let alone an apartment like this."

Half wind and water, half smoke from the mundane world. Then there was her, and a little fox.
