Chapter 337: Chapter 31: Rooftop

"There’s no such thing as love for no reason. Julia was well aware that even a kind-hearted man like Tang Zheng wouldn’t repeatedly risk his life to save them unless he’s a fool. So, he’s bound to get tired as well someday. What will she do then?"

"Trading!" As the young woman was struggling with how to survive, this word popped into her mind. This was the most direct and effective method. Together with some emotional leverage, she could definitely win over a pure-hearted man like Tang Zheng.

Julia knew full well that if she didn’t act now, it would be too late. Miranda, the woman with a fortune worth billions, a face prettier than hers, and no children to slow her down was her fiercest competitor. Ever since they departed this morning, Julia worried that she was tempting Tang Zheng. After all, a person’s energy is limited. If you protect one person, you would have to abandon someone else.

"This is the best opportunity," Julia encouraged herself quietly. Judging from Tang’s behavior this morning, he clearly hadn’t been tempted yet, which made her feel relieved and even more trusting of his character.

"Julia, I’m not able to protect you all anymore," said Tang Zheng, deciding to be frank so the young woman could be prepared. "Don’t always think about depending on me. You won’t make it to the end if you do."

Tang Zheng wanted to tell her that she wouldn’t be able to complete the mission with a child, but he couldn’t bring himself to utter such cruel words.

"Okay." Julia, trembling, understood that her worst fears were coming true but she didn’t perceive it as a threat from him.

"But I will give you some water and food." After saying these words, Tang felt a great relief, as if even if he were to witness their deaths, he would be able to bear it. Just as he was about to get up and leave, to find someplace farther from the teleportation gate but still within observing range, Julia beside him leaned over, pressing her mouth to his cheek.

"You didn’t have to do that," Tang Zheng said, looking at the young woman, his face filled with astonishment. He then immediately understood her intent and shook his head with a bitter smile. "Even if you offer your body, it won’t change anything."

Julia said nothing, having already made up her mind.

"Tang is quite handsome, maybe I’m the one who’s lucking out here," she glanced at Tang Zheng, realizing that his deep, black eyes and determined facial features were quite easy on the eyes. If her girlfriends saw him, they’d definitely try to lure him into bed, even offering money to do so.

"I hope you can try to take care of yourselves as much as possible. Of course, in a critical situation, I’d still help you out," Tang Zheng didn’t make any concrete promises. He just felt bored and irritated by another transaction.

...

Julia was swiftly gathering her thoughts, a few seconds later she glanced at Tang Zheng and started laughing.

"Are you laughing at me?" Tang Zheng was vexed, glaring at the young woman’s face.

"No, it’s just that your moves are too monotonous," said Julia, displaying an attractive smile. As a young woman, she wasn’t too shy at the moment, but rather delighted by Tang’s clumsiness. Of course, saying these things was also an attempt to solidify her earlier advances and make him more smitten with her.

"Isn’t this still laughing at me?" Tang Zheng said, feeling even more frustrated.

"Don’t be upset. You’ve got great endurance." After getting dressed, Julia walked over to Tang Zheng, stood on tiptoes, and kissed him. "There will be more opportunities in the future."

Tang Zheng stared at Julia, furrowing his brows. Golden curls, blue eyes, a slightly pointed chin, she scored at least 75 out of 100. Once she made up her mind, she was quite cunning.

"What? Not satisfied?" Julia felt somewhat anxious.

"You’re much prettier than Jenny, who at most scores 65." Tang Zheng smiled. "Let’s go. I’ll help you pick a set of clothes."

"And shoes." Although protective clothing can cover the feet, wearing shoes is still more comfortable. Julia gave Tang Zheng a glance and added, "And don’t compare me to that **."

After packing up the blanket, Tang Zheng left the rooftop. There were no enemies nearby, so he didn’t bother hiding. Once he entered the building, he saw the two little Lolitas each carrying a book bag, heartily ransacking each counter. Anything they liked was stuffed into their bags.

"How on earth do you manage these kids?" Julia was obviously envious. Lu Fan was clearly choosing items with a purpose while Demi was playing around, choosing whatever Lu Fan picked.

"Uncle, it’s 2060, the location is undetermined." Lu Fan heard footsteps, quickly dived behind the counter, smiled broadly upon seeing Tang Zheng, reported her findings, and finally shook her book bag braggingly, "All new games. I’ve already moved a dozen game consoles back."

"Alright, let’s move out," Tang Zheng was coming down the stairs, turned on the walkie-talkie to test it, but Jenny did not turn it on.

"What do we do? Do we wait for them?" Julia’s mindset had changed, she wanted to monopolize Tang Zheng, those women were just threats.

"Let’s wait." Lu Fan did not want to abandon those cannon fodder.

"There is still a long time before the three-hour rendezvous time, it’s too wasteful." Julia sighed, "And who knows where they are."

"Jewelry store, or else a brand clothing store." Tang Zheng was confident, even if Jenny didn’t have a greedy personality, any woman would stop at the sight of gold and diamonds.

"Of course, the first place visited would definitely be the most expensive stores." Lu Fan naturally nodded. This kind of reasoning was simply too easy.

Julia, however, felt disappointed. She felt particularly deflated when she bellowed on the ninth floor and saw Jenny and Kailin, laden with dazzling jewelry, emerging from a jewelry store.

"Why are you guys here? Come on, grab anything you want, it’s not like it costs any money!" Jenny waved to the others, then wanted to return to the jewelry store.

"What are you going to do with them if you can’t take them back?" Tang Zheng surveyed the entire floor of the building and his words dimmed Jenny’s excitement.

"Hehe, I can! Let’s rendezvous in half an hour, Uncle, you can accompany Julia to change clothes," said Lu Fan who, once allowed, darted into the store.

Jenny looked at Julia suspiciously, wondering if something had happened between this woman and the others while she was away.

Half an hour later, Tang Zheng’s group left the mall heading towards the designated building.

"Uncle, I’m giving you these three pieces of jewelry, bring it back as gifts." Lu Fan gave three jewelry boxes to Tang Zheng and proudly said, "Each piece is worth tens of millions, you have hit the jackpot."

"If I sell them, it will be for money. Exchanging points for RMB is the stupidest thing." He regretted a bit, bought these for a few millions by spending a hundred points.

"No problem, take this bag too," Lu Fan pulled out a bag bulging at the seams, the zipper could only be closed halfway, seven or eight diamond rings fell to the ground, and the little loli didn’t even bother to pick them up.

Jenny felt like her heart was breaking watching this scene. However, what she felt more was envy and jealousy, she also wanted such a space prop. If she could fill a bag with diamonds and bring it back to reality, she would at least be a billionaire.

"Well, I won’t be polite then." Tang Zheng thanked her, he also wanted to provide a better life for his parents, and by the way, give some gifts to his sister Xiu Ru.

"I still have a lot," said Lu Fan, proudly lifting her chin. After a few steps, she was grabbed by Tang Zheng and placed behind a bus.

"Get down," Tang Zheng lowered his voice and gave a warning, firmly staring at the right front, "Julia, keep an eye on Demi."

"What’s wrong?" The ladies were flustered; they looked at Tang Zheng, wanting him to explain, while Lu Fan had already taken out her binoculars and was aiming in the direction Tang Zheng was looking at.

"There are really people? And they’re riding a dinosaur? Amazing!"
