CHAPTER 88: CHAPTER 89: LITTLE YUAN IN SHOCK

Ruan Xingwen knew that if he didn’t agree to charge rent, Little Yuan would definitely not live here, so he came up with a compromise.

"How about this, we won’t charge rent for the first month. Starting from the second month, which is December, we’ll deduct the rent from your salary each month, how does that sound?"

It’s already late October, and Little Yuan knew this was Ruan Xingwen’s kind gesture, so she nodded in agreement with the suggestion.

But salary? Right now both she and Ruan Xingwen are unemployed, where’s the salary coming from?

"Salary?"

Ruan Xingwen then patted his forehead, he hadn’t told Little Yuan about signing the contract yet.

"I signed a contract, just this morning."

Little Yuan jumped up from the sofa, exclaiming:

"How did you sign another contract? Which company?"

Clearly, just out of one pit of fire, why was Ruan Xingwen in such a hurry to sign another one?

"I think this company is great, and the boss is good too." Speaking of the company’s boss, Ruan Xingwen couldn’t help but blush at the tips of his ears.

However, Little Yuan’s attention was entirely on the signing, not noticing Ruan Xingwen’s change.

"Even if the company is good, we should think this through, you’re being too hasty."

Ruan Xingwen shook his head, "Not hasty, I thought about it all afternoon."

"..."

Little Yuan was speechless and puzzled at the same time. Which company, which boss could make the previously steady Ruan Xingwen so hasty?

"Which company did you sign with?"

"Yu Xiaozhe’s studio."

"So it was Yu Xia... what?! Say that again? Whose studio?"

Ruan Xingwen repeated, "Yu Xiaozhe’s studio."

Today has definitely been the most shocking day for Little Yuan in years, and each shock was huge.

Ruan Xingwen really is a treasure.

For three years, he had the worst luck imaginable, then one day, everything started to turn around. First, he won a villa in a lottery, now he’s signed with Yu Xiaozhe’s studio...

Honestly, such a turnaround is hard for anyone to accept right away.

Besides, Little Yuan was a bit worried, wasn’t there a saying about the conservation of energy? Luck, this mysterious thing, should have a certain balance, right?

If Ruan Xingwen suddenly gets lucky, will it affect his future life?

Ruan Xingwen saw Little Yuan’s expression change from dumbfounded to serious.

Who knows what Little Yuan was thinking about, looking so serious.

"What’s wrong, Little Yuan?"

Little Yuan asked seriously, "Xingxing, you don’t feel there’s anything wrong, do you? Your luck is suddenly so good, I’m afraid there might be some ’side effects’. How do you feel now?"

Such genuine concern warmed Ruan Xingwen’s heart, making him feel like he was soaking in a warm hot spring, spreading warmth inside and out.

Seeing how concerned Little Yuan was, Ruan Xingwen gently said, "Don’t worry, Little Yuan. I don’t feel anything bad. It’s just that the suppressed luck from before has broken out."

In the last sentence, Ruan Xingwen made a little joke.

As for the real reason for his change in luck, Ruan Xingwen couldn’t tell Little Yuan. If he hadn’t experienced it himself, he wouldn’t believe that the Mountain and Sea Realm Divine Beast Qilin would appear in his life.

Such an experience was obviously not suitable to share with others.

"But, Xingxing, I’m not trying to belittle you, but we’re not on the same level as Yu Xiaozhe. How did you end up signing with his studio?"

Ruan Xingwen thought about the day he first met Yu Xiaozhe and felt a bit sentimental.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank Li Li and Shi Mu, and it’s also related to the game ’Godslayer’."

Little Yuan was even more confused now, what does ’Godslayer’ have to do with it? And why thank Li Li?

"The boss of the company that owns the game ’Godslayer’ is Yu Xiaozhe’s cousin, so Yu Xiaozhe endorsed the game. However, because I got the last ’Ze’ card in the draw, fans caused a stir on the company’s official blog. So their boss, Yu Yue, wanted to meet me to discuss a solution."

He didn’t mention that initially Yu Yue wanted to pair him with Yu Xiaozhe for a dual endorsement. After all, it hadn’t been confirmed, and the future was uncertain, so he didn’t bring up the endorsement and turned it into a dinner.

"Coincidentally, the restaurant that Li Li called me to was also reserved by Yu Yue. They explained their purpose to Li Li and had the restaurant reservation set, but Li Li didn’t tell me and just brought Shi Mu along to the meeting. As for what happened later... you know it."

"Yu Yue’s reserved room and Li Li’s were adjacent. At that time, we made quite a commotion, attracting them over. The restaurant, Yu Yue also has shares in it, so he came over to see what was going on. We met like that, and then... that was about it. We both felt the other was nice, so we signed the contract!"

After listening to Ruan Xingwen’s explanation, Little Yuan didn’t know whether to praise his luck or lament it.

"So you just signed like that?"

"Yes, what is there to consider? They have a big company; what do I have worth deceiving? Also, Little Yuan, I’m already twenty-four, not fourteen, so stop worrying about me being cheated!"

It’s not his fault he has such a gullible face... Little Yuan silently critiqued in her heart.

However, since Ruan Xingwen signed with a new company, the company would definitely arrange a new assistant for him. Could she still continue to be his assistant?

Little Yuan voiced her concerns.

Ruan Xingwen reassured her, since she had resigned for him, he wouldn’t abandon Little Yuan. Besides, given his current relationship with Yu Xiaozhe, he should have the right to choose his own assistant.

But he should inform Sister He about it later, so she wouldn’t go looking for an assistant for him.

Only then did Little Yuan feel relieved. She had a tiring day. In the morning she took a bus back, had a fuss with her aunt, then took a bus back again, which took most of the day.

The news Ruan Xingwen told her left her shocked for half a day, and now that she had calmed down, her hunger suddenly kicked in.

She rubbed her stomach and asked, "Xingxing, is there anything at home to eat? I’m hungry."

But got a resentful look from Ruan Xingwen in response.

Only then did Little Yuan remember she had cleaned out all the snacks from Ruan Xingwen’s house to prevent him from secretly eating and gaining weight.

But she was really hungry, so she suggested, "Why don’t we go out to eat?"

Ruan Xingwen smiled helplessly and asked, "Why, don’t you worry about me getting fat now?"

Little Yuan accompanied her laughter, "Hehe, once in a while is fine, let’s go quickly. Just find a hotel to stay for two days, wait for you to move out, then I’ll move into your place."

Ruan Xingwen knew Little Yuan did this for his own good. Even though they both knew they only had sibling feelings for each other, the neighbors wouldn’t necessarily think that way. If it got exposed later, it would be troublesome.

"Alright, wait for me to grab a coat."
