CHAPTER 99: PENALTY TASKS

Mia Sutton looked at the new message on her phone screen, staring at it for several seconds before putting the phone down and looking blankly at the live stream camera.

After a while, she picked up the phone again to take another look, just to make sure it truly was that message.

Mia knew Jensen Sterling didn’t mean anything else by it. Although she hadn’t interacted with him much, she understood that his thinking was very straightforward: since they were already married, even if it was just a sham, he was going to play the role of a very competent husband during the duration of their agreement marriage, excluding emotions and married life.

Still, Mia couldn’t help but feel like she was being flirted with for a moment.

The most deadly kind of flirting is the invisible kind!

Jensen Sterling watched the little girl in the live stream for a long time before he picked up his phone again, with a very calm expression.

He tapped twice on the screen and then put it down. Sure enough, his phone vibrated a moment later.

Mia just replied with a simple "Oh."

Jensen stared at that single word for a long while, then chuckled a bit, deciding not to reply further since he heard the little girl in the live stream chatting with the viewers.

......

Mia: "What am I doing with the phone?"

"Sending a message, what else would you do holding a phone other than that."

[What kind of message did you send to make your expression so rich!]

Mia propped her head up with one hand: "Oh, nothing much, just discussed with a friend what it feels like to suddenly get rich."

Along with a bit of playful teasing, that’s all, no big deal!

Viewers: "......"

"......!!!"

Sorry, we interrupted, that was hasty of us, we shouldn’t have spoken up.

After chatting with the fans for a bit, Mia realized she was messaging Jensen Sterling during the live stream.

And Jensen likely was still watching the live stream.

Why does it feel like I’m flirting in front of everyone!!!

Mia: "..."

It’s an illusion, they don’t even have feelings, where would flirting come from.

Speaking of which, they’re almost two hours into the stream, nearing the end, but viewers haven’t forgotten about the challenge punishment mentioned by the staff at the start.

Chat messages were all about: Punishment, punishment...

[Hurry up, I’ve been looking forward to this punishment for almost two hours, why hasn’t it come yet.]

[Everyone, I just tagged the official account, we can’t skip this segment.]

[We all went through nine years of compulsory education, why are you so clever, I’m going to do that too.]

Even Lynn Joyner beside Mia was stunned by the viewers’ actions.

Not sure if it was because the viewers tagged the official account or if it was simply time, but in a few minutes, the staff came over carrying a box with a few paper slips inside.

Staff: "These are your punishment items this time, quite a few options. You’ll draw them yourself, whichever you pick is what you do."

Mia glanced at the box and then looked up, smiling sweetly at the staff, asking sweetly: "Miss, what are all these about?"

This move stunned the viewers: "...?" Can you do that?

[Mia, don’t act cute to the miss, don’t think about cheating.]

The staff already liked Mia, and seeing her speaking so softly, she instinctively responded: "Nothing much, just some simple tasks like commenting on an ex-boyfriend, sending ’I love you’ to the first person in your WeChat, posting a funny tweet, giving some benefits to fans, stuff like that."

Mia: "..."

Ex-boyfriend: Martin Wright!

The first person on WeChat: Jensen, who I just messaged!

Is the show crew here to mess with me?
