Qiao Dongyang's dinner party was set for three days later in the evening.
Chi Yue personally picked out the dress for Wang Xueya to wear to the banquet and did her makeup.
In terms of dressing up, Chi Yue had an innate special touch. The clothes and accessories she wore weren't expensive, but they never looked cheap, and she carried herself like a top-brand model. Even Xueya, who came from a wealthy family and frequented the edges of fashion circles, had to admire her unique taste.
An ordinary woman would become eye-catching with her touch.
This was also another reason why Xueya insisted on having Chi Yue help as her assistant.
Xueya had very fair skin and an ethereal quality about her. Chi Yue chose a pure white dress and makeup that highlighted her complexion, looking radiant but not gaudy. This made her appear like a princess with skin as white as ice and bones as fine as jade.
"Oh my God! I can't believe I can be this beautiful!"
Wang Xueya gazed at herself in the mirror, cradling her face, completely self-enamored, and kept on exclaiming.
"Moonlight, I love you... I love you to death."
Chi Yue pursed her lips slightly, turned Xueya's face towards the mirror again, and took a look.
"Hmm, very good, perfect!"
"But—" Xueya hesitated as she turned around, "aren't I going there to scold someone? Why dress up so beautifully for that?"
"Apart from scolding him, you can also talk about deep space exploration with him. If you can't handle it, let your dad do it!"
"Right!" Xueya suddenly realized.
...
Miss Wang left the house in high spirits, getting into her father's car.
Less than two hours later, she called Chi Yue feeling dejected.
"I didn't see Elder Brother Qiao."
"Hmm?" Chi Yue wasn't too surprised.
With Qiao Dongyang's proud temperament, how could he easily accompany a woman to dinner?
"Then who did you have dinner with?"
"A dog... no, a robot."
"——"
Was it that little robot she saw in Qiao Dongyang's car that day?
Chi Yue thought of the little robot's cute appearance and its big blinking eyes and began to laugh.
"If I had known it was a robot, I would have gone."
"Forget it; you'd be annoyed to death by it," Xueya said as if she was secretly on the call, lowering her voice, "And that robot is scarily smart. It knew I was faking it the first moment it saw me. Goodness me!"
"..."
"Guess how it knew?"
"How?" Chi Yue's curiosity was piqued.
"It said it chose you to win. And because of that, it got 'killed' by Lord Qiao for a full seventy-two hours."
"..."
So the 1.16 million was from the little robot.
A warm feeling surged in Chi Yue's heart, "Then you should go and chat with it, and thank it for me while you're at it..."
"No need. It's chatting with my dad. You don't know, my dad is so taken with it that he's thinking of taking it home to keep, saying it's definitely top-tier global artificial intelligence with an extremely strong sense of self. Listening to my dad, I'm a bit scared, scared that one day robots will eliminate us silly humans..."
"Pfft! Have you been watching too many Hollywood blockbusters?" Chi Yue drawled lazily, "Okay then, that's it. See you."
"Eek..." Xueya noticed her distractedness, "What are you busy with, big sis?"
"Busy seducing female streamers!"
"...?"
Chi Yue wasn't lying to Xueya.
Her phone was logged into a social media platform.
The other party was indeed a female streamer—"Darling Beiby."
Perhaps afraid of losing "regular customers," Zhu Qing had only changed her screen name by one character.
Chi Yue had added her as a friend on the platform. With enticement, she had also used an alternate account to add her on WeChat.
After hanging up on Xueya, Chi Yue looked at the string of question marks sent by Zhu Qing and slowly typed a message.
"Sorry, my signal isn't very good."
"It's okay, do you want to continue?"
"Continue—"
The video connected once more.
Chi Yue covered the camera, but she could see the other party clearly.
Darling Beiby was highly skilled at her job and continued to work despite the incident. In the video, she didn't show her face, but her shapely figure was visible... With the enhancement of a beauty camera, her skin looked unbelievably good, fair where it should be, pinkish where it should be pink, her slender waist not wide enough to grasp, along with seductive movements and the occasional tender moans from her mouth...
Chi Yue believed no normal man could resist such allure.
It wasn't that she was breathtakingly beautiful.
It was the secret, out of sight, and little-known pleasure that was too tempting.
No wonder countless men spent fortunes on them, borrowing and even jumping off buildings...
After watching the video for a while, Chi Yue's voice came out through a voice changer, sounding like a rough man.
"Beauty, are these all the tricks you have?"
"Hmm?" The woman in the video paused slightly, seemingly not expecting to be dismissed so easily.
She asked coyly, "Are you not satisfied, big brother? What do you want to see?"
"The same thing over and over, I'm tired of it," Chi Yue said with a laugh. "Got any new tricks?"
Darling Beiby hummed and twisted her body, asking shyly, "Then big brother, how do you want to play..."
Chi Yue: "I want to see your face, otherwise I can't get into it, and I can't finish."
Darling Beiby: "I can't do that, we have a rule against showing faces."
Chi Yue: "How about we meet in person? Name your price."
Darling Beiby: "Sorry, big brother, I don't do offline meetings..."
Chi Yue: "Ten thousand?"
Darling Beiby laughed, "Sorry..."
Chi Yue lowered her voice: "Fifty thousand?"
This time, Darling Beiby hesitated noticeably, "I've never done it before..."
Chi Yue: "One hundred thousand!"
"..."
Silence fell on the other end.
Both could hear each other's breathing.
Chi Yue smiled: "I look okay myself, I consider myself quite gentlemanly and won't make things difficult for you. If we meet and you don't want to go through with it, we'll part ways. Here's what we'll do, I'll give you a 5000 deposit first so you won't have to worry—"
Ding!
Chi Yue did not hesitate to send over a red packet of 5000 yuan.
