The two of them were out the entire day.

Lin Xiaowan felt extremely lazy the next day. When she got up early in the morning, she squinted her eyes sleepily and quickly sent a message to Gu Yuwu saying that she would not be going to the set today. After sending the message, she lay back down in bed and planned to continue sleeping.

At this time, Huo Zheng, who had just gotten dressed, walked in. He saw her lazing in bed and leaned over to kiss her before he said, “Remember to cat breakfast later.”

Lin Xiaowan hummed twice.

“I have a gift for you. It’s on the table outside.”

Upon hearing these words, Lin Xiaowan opened her eyes. She looked half-awake as she yawned and asked, “What gift? Didn’t you already give me one yesterday?”

Lin Xiaowan was still sleepy so she did not listen to Huo Zheng’s words carefully. She hugged the blanket and fell asleep in just a few seconds.

At 8.30 AM, the new nanny knocked on the door to wake Lin Xiaowan up. Huo Zheng had instructed her to wake Lin Xiaowan up so she would not skip breakfast.

Lin Xiaowan checked her phone first and saw Gu Yuwu’s teasing reply. After getting out of bed, she brushed her teeth and washed her face. When she walked outside, she finally saw an exquisite box on the small coffee table. It was only then that she remembered Huo Zheng’s words earlier in the morning. She took a closer look and found that it was a Patek Philippe watch.

Lin Xiaowan did not know why Huo Zheng would suddenly give her a watch. She took a photo and sent a message to him to ask about it. His reply came very quickly. He sent a photo of his hand; he was wearing a watch that was quite similar to hers. They were global limited edition couple watches.

Lin Xiaowan was delighted when she saw this and quickly sent him another message. She was naturally delighted that he took the initiative to buy a couple’s items.

To be honest, the watch was not very appropriate for work nor was it in the style that he usually liked. However, he had done this for Lin Xiaowan. He had noticed her looking at the couple who wore matching outfits yesterday and understood her thoughts.

[Huo Zheng: If you like it, we can wear matching clothes as well. I’ll leave it up to you. It doesn’t just have to be clothes. You can buy whatever you want.]

[Lin Xiaowan: I’ve just given you extra points for this, and I’m giving you more points!]

The clothing brands that Huo Zheng wore were all exceptional. She had been with him for about five years so her standards had also risen. She was browsing around when a his-and-hers coat caught her eye. However, she felt a little speechless when she saw the price.

Huo Zheng had supported her since she graduated. She was a little worm with no ambition and was just muddling along in life. However, at this moment, she felt that maybe she should look for a job.

‘However, what can I do?’ Lin Xiaowan frowned in confusion.

In the past, she had studied business administration, thinking that she would work as a secretary after graduation. However, she met Huo Zheng after that and had lived a carefree life since. Thinking about having to work from nine to five and maybe even overtime, she was subconsciously resistant to the idea. She would no longer be able to sleep in or do whatever she wanted.

Lin Xiaowan sighed.

A few days later.

Gu Yuwu called Lin Xiaowan and asked her to come to the set.

Lin Xiaowan perked up and asked, “Is it time for me to shoot my scenes?”

Gu Yuwu replied, “No. I need you to sign a contract and calculate your salary.”

“I’ll be paid?”

“Of course. Did you think actors act for free?”

When Lin Xiaowan arrived, she followed Gu Yuwu to a room. She was shocked when she saw how much she was going to be paid.

“I’m actually getting paid tens of thousands of yuan?!”

Lin Xiaowan was not even a celebrity, but she was getting paid so much. She could not imagine just how much famous celebrities earned. It must be in the millions or tens of millions.

‘No wonder everyone wants to be a celebrity!’

Lin Xiaowan was a complete amateur. How could she be paid so much? She only paid so much thanks to Gu Yuwu’s care for her. Since Gu Yuwu would be paying the salary, who dared to comment about Lin Xiaowan’s pay?

Lin Xiaowan excitedly signed her name on the contract.

Gu Yuwu was amused by her. “I haven’t even explained the details of the contract to you yet, but you’ve already signed it. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll sell you off?”

Lin Xiaowan giggled. “There’s so much money. It’s fine even if you sell me!”

Gu Yuwu shook her head helplessly before she said, “It’s fine that you act this way with me. However, you mustn’t be like this in the future, especially when dealing with others. You have to get a lawyer to take a look at the contract first and make sure there’s no problem before signing it, understand?”

Lin Xiaowan did not think there would be another occasion where she had to sign a contract again. After all, she was not working. Moreover, if there was a next time, she had a feeling that it would also be with Gu Yuwu. For this reason, she did not take Gu Yuwu’s words to heart. At this moment, her entire person was bubbling with happiness. It was as though she had discovered a treasure.

“You’re so happy with the tens of thousands of yuan?” Gu Yuwu commented, puzzled.

After all, the wealth that the Huo family had accumulated over the generations was unimaginable. Not only that, but if Huo Zheng were to make a move, it was likely that the entire economy in Shangxia would be affected. Just one of Huo Zheng’s custom cars was at least eight figures. Even his cufflinks could be put up for auction. So why did Lin Xiaowan look as though she was in dire straits?

Gu Yuwu asked skeptically, “Doesn’t Huo Zheng let you spend money?”

Lin Xiaowan was still immersed in happiness. When she heard Gu Yuwu’s question, she was stunned. “He does.”

Apart from the black card that Huo Zheng gave her when they met, he also gave her another card that was bound to her phone. He had taught her how to bind the card to her phone. A large amount of money would be credited into the account. At that time, he had casually said that it was her pocket money. She had been dumbfounded when she saw the amount of money. Her daily expenditure was not even a fraction of what was given to her every time.

Gu Yuwu frowned. “Then why does it seem like you’re in need of money?”

“Ah, that’s not the case,” Lin Xiaowan said, looking embarrassed, “It’s because I’ve never earned so much money on my own before. That’s why I’m a little excited.”

The money she earned in school when she worked part-time was very little. She had never earned more than 200 yuan a day.

After a moment, Lin Xiaowan said, “Speaking of, I’ve been looking for a job recently. Do you have any recommendations?”

Gu Yuwu looked at her skeptically and asked, “Are you sure you’re really not short of money?”

Seeing that Gu Yuwu was skeptical and worried, looking as though she was going to fight with someone on her behalf, she hurriedly said to reassure Gu Yuwu, “I’m sure. It’s just that I haven’t been working. It was fine before, but now that I think about it, it’s not good.”

“Then, do you have anything you like to do or want to do?” Gu Yuwu asked.

This question silenced Lin Xiaowan immediately..
