Chapter 239 - Becoming a Rich Woman in the Blink of an Eye!
‘It seems that I accidentally exposed my former alias.’
Gu Luoyu's expression froze for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. Unlike others who would avoid eye contact when feeling guilty, her beautiful red eyes stared intently at Ye Sheng, her lips curling into a faint smile.
Being gazed at so intently made it hard for Ye Sheng to think of anything else; she just wanted to lose herself in that stunning beauty forever.
Just like when she saved Gu Luoyu at first sight, it was love at first sight.
Even after living together for so long, Ye Sheng still hadn't grown tired of looking at her. Instead, her affection only grew stronger over time... In the past, Ye Sheng wouldn't have believed she could be so love-struck, but now the facts spoke for themselves.
(ಥ_ಥ)
Hmph.
Even if she were love-struck, it didn't matter.
After all, her relationship with Gu Luoyu was mutual, and there would be no tragic love story!
It would just be a sweet tale of a big shot and her little weakling...
Just as Ye Sheng's mind was wandering, Gu Luoyu pinched her cheek and spoke up, "My previous job was very dangerous, involving life-threatening tasks. Now that I finally have a stable life, I don't want to be associated with the past anymore. Xiao Sheng, you won't blame me for not being honest about my past, will you?"
Ye Sheng looked up at Gu Luoyu. The beautiful face didn't show much change in expression, but the slightly drooping corners of her eyes and the tight lips were enough to reveal reluctance and pain.
It was like a beautiful white fox trembling in the snowy wilderness.
Seeing this, Ye Sheng had no intention of pressing the previous question. She quickly comforted her, “Ah Yu, of course, I don't blame you. Although the past can't be erased, I care more about the present and the future!”
As she spoke, Ye Sheng didn't continue lying on Gu Luoyu's lap. Instead, she quickly got up, wrapped her arms around her neck, nestled into her embrace, and kissed her lips earnestly and devoutly.
She wanted to relax her dear girlfriend.
“Really?”
“Of course, truer than pearls. Ayu, I'm not some overbearing devil. I wouldn't try to control you, nor would I nitpick over the past. After all, we are lifelong companions!”
“Xiao Sheng is not a devil; she's my favorite person.”
“⁄（⁄⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄⁄）⁄”
Although she knew sweet talk could be cloying, when it came from Gu Luoyu, Ye Sheng fell head over heels.
Even if someone tried to pull her out of the pit, she wouldn't want to!
Hehehe, she loved it and wanted Gu Luoyu to say more~
After the two kissed for a while, Gu Luoyu didn't keep her lips sealed anymore. She briefly introduced her assets in the safe zone, including properties in the inner city and numerous businesses in the core area.
If she wanted to take over everything, it would inevitably cause some turmoil and reveal her former identity.
But taking just a portion wouldn't be a problem.
Therefore, not wanting Ye Sheng to worry about housing, Gu Luoyu took the initiative to bring it up... When Ye Sheng heard the details of Gu Luoyu's assets in the base, her mouth hung open in disbelief.
Although she knew Gu Luoyu, as a psychic, would be a powerful and wealthy figure regardless of her past identity, she never imagined she would be this rich!
That was the core area!
Even first-rate families had to fight tooth and nail to get in!
Only top-tier families could establish a foothold in the core area, and even then, they had to be divided into different ranks. Owning businesses in such an important place was harder than reaching the heavens!
So...
Had she just latched onto a super golden thigh?
Becoming a rich woman in the blink of an eye!
Ye Sheng blinked in disbelief. When she finally processed it, her eyes curved into crescents, and she grinned like a little mouse that had fallen into a rice bin.
She was on cloud nine!
...
Since learning about Gu Luoyu's extensive assets in the base, Ye Sheng had been itching to go back and quickly settle the inner city residence!
After discussing it, the two immediately decided to return!
Back to the base.
Of course, it was also because the mission was completed, and they had collected enough specially contaminated plant fruits to last her for over a year.
However, the baby she was carrying might be born later than Nezha... Fortunately, the current supply was sufficient, so she didn't have to worry about not having enough to eat and being unable to replenish the baby's need for a large amount of life force.
On the way back, Gu Luoyu turned into a manual juicer, squeezing the special contaminated plant fruits into juice for Ye Sheng to drink a few cups daily.
It instantly cured her fatigue.
Revitalizing Ye Sheng... but with comfort came lust, and since she had promised Gu Luoyu not to initiate anything, she had to hold back.
But was Ye Sheng the type to stay obedient?
Of course not!!!
Although she couldn't initiate, she could seduce Gu Luoyu into taking the lead... Just like last time, it was intense and had a unique flavor.
However, Gu Luoyu seemed to see through Ye Sheng's little scheme and didn't take the bait!
This frustrated Ye Sheng, but she will never admit it was because her seduction skills were lacking. Instead, she blamed it on the dark swan, Ye Heiya, even though it was a goose, its presence was strong and affected her performance!
Hmph, once they returned to the safe zone, she would definitely seduce Gu Luoyu into a wild frenzy, making her take the lead and do all sorts of things.
Hehehe, in that case, she needed to prepare more juice in advance to replenish her energy... If her stamina couldn't keep up, she could 'take supplements.' With this external aid, Ye Sheng felt she could try turning the tables!
While Ye Sheng was lost in her silly fantasies, the car finally arrived back at the base.
Fortunately, there were no official base personnel at the city gates to greet them this time, avoiding a scene and allowing Gu Luoyu to drive into the outer city smoothly. Instead of returning the vehicle immediately, they headed straight to the 'King Lion' tavern to have a proper meal.
It was hard to have normal meals in the wilderness, so they had to make do with whatever was available or just drink a nutrient solution.
Although Ye Sheng had a storage bag for items, she had to keep it hidden from Gu Luoyu before, so she couldn't conveniently store or retrieve food. Now that she had come clean, she could fill it to the brim.
However...
Her pouch was already filled with ores and specially contaminated plant fruits.
She needed to clear it out first.
Fortunately, this time upon returning to the safe zone, Gu Luoyu suggested they stay in the base to recuperate... The process of bearing a psychic's offspring was extremely difficult and dangerous, especially during the critical period of embryo formation, which required utmost caution.
A slight mistake could lead to the mother's death due to the absorption of life force.
Naturally, Ye Sheng wouldn't refuse. She loved the feeling of being cared for and valued by Gu Luoyu, but she wouldn't risk her life.
She needed to draw lots more often, praying to get items rich in life force to ensure the safe and smooth growth of the baby in her belly!
The signature dishes at the 'King Lion' tavern were excellent. As soon as they sat down, Ye Sheng picked up the menu to order a feast, but before she could finish browsing the new dishes, the conversation at the neighboring table caught her attention.
“I don't know what the base is thinking, actually collaborating with the Black Spring Freemasonry? When I first heard the news, I thought I was dreaming!”
