Chapter 76: Stingy Sugar Daddy

Qi Wu smiled but did not answer the question.

This feeling was similar to the anxiety she felt when was chosen as the new high priestess.

At that time, she had yet to know what life was like or how unpredictable the world could be. Tasked with a mission for the sake of the world, she inherited the role that would imprison her for life.

She missed that kind of feeling, even if reliving it again meant going through imprisonment once more.

The difference was that nothing could restrain her now. The high priestess had long been reduced to dust along with the temple by the flames of the rebel army.

Tong Luo did not push any further and just enjoyed this rare moment of leisure.

After a while, an important question struck her mind, and she sat up.

“Although the production team can provide us with makeup and costumes, it’s still not the same since we didn’t prepare them ourselves. Qi Wu, you have more clothes, right?” Tong Luo tentatively asked.

Qi Wu’s luggage was pitifully small. She was also used to not wearing any makeup. Even the light makeup she had put on for the past few days was done by Jiang Xuxu who woke up especially early just for that.

Qi Wu did not care about her appearance at all.

Qi Wu shook her head, confirming Tong Luo’s suspicions.

Tong Luo could not help but mutter, “You’re playing the role of the great demon in Mr. Song’s ‘City of Loneliness’, so your costume and makeup will be worth quite a lot of points.”

She started worrying. “What a pity none of my outfits will fit you…”

Tong Luo was able to survive until the show started because she was a somewhat famous child celebrity who had inherited quite a hefty sum from her late mother.

However, Tong Luo did not know much about Qi Wu’s family and had never heard her mention them.

However, since Qi Wu had a sugar daddy, she could not be doing that well for herself.

A person suddenly appeared in Tong Luo’s mind, causing her to exclaim,

“That’s right! There’s Chang Xun!”

Qi Wu watched with a confused gaze as Tong Luo happily said, “Chang Xun is a

top-tier manager after all. As long as we explain the situation to him, he will definitely save us!”

Tong Luo urged Qi Wu to head into the bathroom with her phone. Tong Luo even followed her out of worry.

“Qi Wu, your outfit is really important, especially when you’re on stage!”

Tong Luo’s constant nagging forced Qi Wu to helplessly unlock her phone. Just as she was about to call Chang Xun, Jin Si’s name flashed on her screen as the phone rang.

His label of “debtholder” was clear for all to see.

Before Qi Wu could react, she heard Tong Luo mutter through gritted teeth, “Bold of him to still call.”

Qi Wu blinked and turned to look at her in confusion.

Tong Luo’s heart ached when she saw Qi Wu’s reaction. “I know that many things are not within your control, but there are some things that you have to fight for. Don’t be embarrassed.”

Then, she steeled her heart and made up her mind. “If you can’t say it, I’ll help you. Give me your phone.”

“You want to answer the call?”

The confusion in Qi Wu’s eyes dissipated. She finally understood what Tong Luo meant.

Tong Luo’s impulsive urge suddenly died down when she met Qi Wu’s gaze. She nervously asked, “Do you mind? Will it affect you…”

What if Qi Wu’s sugar daddy was angered by what Tong Luo was going to do? She would have dragged Qi Wu down for nothing.

Tong Luo was annoyed by her impulsiveness.

Qi Wu shook her head and handed over the phone. “You do it.”

“Really?”

Tong Luo felt uncertain.

After Qi Wu reassured her once more, she felt much more confident.

Tong Luo took the phone and answered the call.

“Qi Wii.”

Jin Si’s cold and deep voice sounded over the phone.

For a moment, Tong Luo was stunned. For some reason, the voice sounded very familiar, but she just did not know why.

With Qi Wu’s problem in mind, Tong Luo hurriedly pushed those thoughts aside.

“Hello, I’m Qi Wu’s roommate. I didn’t want to communicate with you like this, but do you know that the competition is in two days? This is Qi Wu’s first time on stage. It’s very important to her.”

At first, Tong Luo was able to remain calm and rational. However, the more she spoke, the angrier she felt.

“It’s one thing for Qi Wu to have a tiny amount of luggage while filming the show and for her to have to carefully ration out her lemon drops, but her first appearance on stage is very important. Can you please be more attentive and actually do something for her? You’re a successful man. Don’t tell me you can’t afford to give her anything! ‘

If not for the sake of being polite and out of fear of making things worse for Qi Wu, Tong Luo would have started cursing him out for being stingy.

Jin Si fell silent the moment Tong Luo started speaking. His face darkened when he heard the implicit insults. He had never been called stingy before.

“Who are you?”

The icy and oppressive tone in his voice extinguished Tong Luo’s rage.

She abruptly calmed down and replied, “Tong Luo, My name is Tong Luo. The message came from me, and Qi Wu has nothing to do with it.”

Jin Si ignored her declaration and simply stated, “Pass the phone to Qi Wu.”

Before Tong Luo knew it, she was handing the phone over to Qi Wu. Perhaps it was because of the commanding tone of Jin Si’s voice.

“I’ll go out first so that I’m not disturbing you,” she whispered.

Qi Wu glanced at her. After Tong Luo left the bathroom, she lowered her eyes and called out into the phone, “Jin Si.”

“Carefully rationing your lemon drops? Poor thing.” Jin Si sneered.

He did not even notice the hint of sarcasm in his tone.

It was because she had just refused his jar of lemon drops a few days ago.

“That was when you refused to let me eat any back then,” Qi Wu solemnly explained.

There was a faintly accusatory tone in her voice.

Jin Si was at a loss for words.

If she had not mentioned it, Jin Si would have forgotten about that. 𝗳𝐫𝗲𝐞𝘄𝐞𝐛𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐞𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦

During that period of time, she was in love with the lemon drops and would eat so many of them that it was like she was living off of them. He had to buy more almost every three days.

After a while, he began restricting her consumption. Jin Si cleared his throat. “When is the first performance?”

“The day after tomorrow at 8.00 p.m.”

“Got it.”

Jin Si then recalled Tong Luo’s scolding and could not help but massage his temple. “Chang Xun will contact you tomorrow.”

“All right.”

Qi Wu was not curious at all about the change and simply agreed to it. That made Jin Si feel a little uncomfortable.

However, he did not know of any reason for his unease, so he immediately hung up.

After the call ended, Jin Si thought for a moment and dialed Chang Xun’s

number.

“What’s up, Jin?”

“What’s the name of the famous brand you showed me before?” Jin Si asked directly.

Chang Xun mistakenly thought that Jin Si had finally become a little more ambitious, so he jumped up excitedly.

“You’re finally going to come back to work!” he exclaimed..
