120: Chapter 120: Life is Like a Play, It All Depends on Acting!

Speak to shock, or rest in peace!

Tang Long’s earnest words left Tang Xiao caught between laughter and tears and Wu Jie instantly confused.

Moderation?

What does that mean?

Eat and play beanbag toss?

Casting a glance at Tang Xiao and seeing her trying to hold back her laughter with a shy look, Wu Jie got it.

Tang Xiao was turning the tables on them!

Bashful and timid, not bad acting!

“Dad, rest assured, we’re very disciplined and won’t be out of control,” Wu Jie assured.

During this conversation, Wu Jie casually wrapped his arm around Tang Xiao’s slender waist.

Tang Long’s smile stiffened slightly.

He waved his hand dismissively and walked away.

Wu Jie hugged Tang Xiao’s waist cheerfully, watching as Tang Long walked away, his heart secretly waiting.

However…

There was unexpectedly no congratulatory message from the system.

What’s the meaning of this?

It had complained several times before, so why this sudden silence?

Could it be that he didn’t oppose them being together?

Just as Tang Long’s figure vanished around the corner, Tang Xiao quickly reminded him:

“Your reaction is quite swift, and your acting isn’t bad, but next time you hug my waist, could you please move your hand a bit higher?”

Wu Jie was startled and quickly withdrew his hand.

“Oh, sorry, it’s my first time hugging you, I’m not quite used to it yet!”

Tang Xiao didn’t utter a word but turned around to go back to the living room.

As she cleaned the coffee table, she said:

“Although my dad approves of this marriage, there’s another small trouble!”

“Is he eager to have a grandchild?” Wu Jie guessed.

Tang Xiao shook her head and said with a smile, “What’s the rush good for?

We’re in a sham marriage; how could we possibly have children?”

“Besides, my body isn’t suited for childbearing.

It’s just not possible for him to have a grandchild.”

Wu Jie laughed as he changed his shoes, “That may not be true.

You should still have dreams.

What if they came true?”

Tang Xiao turned to look at Wu Jie.

“My dream isn’t to have children, but to have my old injuries healed.

Otherwise, if I’m made to stop exercising for a long time, my skills will go to waste!”

Wu Jie curled his lip and chuckled, “You talk as if you were very skilled.”

“What do you mean?”

Tang Xiao gave him a cool sidelong glance, “If I hadn’t been injured, I would have crippled you that day at the gym!”

“Really?” Wu Jie said with a sheepish grin.

“It seems I need to find a way to heal you, then let you fight me in top form, otherwise, you’re going to hold this grudge for a lifetime!”

Tang Xiao sighed, “If you had the ability to heal me, I’d be grateful to you and wouldn’t dream of crippling you.”

Wu Jie rolled his eyes.

The first half of the sentence sounded okay, but the second half took a turn.

“I always thought I was quite arrogant, but it turns out you’re even more overwhelming than I am!”

“Just wait!

I’ll give you a chance to see what despair feels like!”

Tang Xiao laughed heartily, “I’m afraid you might not have the skill to cure me.”

With a whoosh, she threw the trash bag at Wu Jie.

“Don’t forget to bring your household register and ID card tomorrow for the registration!”

With a reminder, Tang Xiao went back to her room.

In her words, there was absolutely no implication for Wu Jie to stay.

Of course, Wu Jie didn’t ask, nor did he dare to.

…

Tianyuan Xinya Community.

Upon entering and turning on the lights, Wu Jie almost thought he had walked into the wrong room.

The decoration style had completely changed.

From cozy and livable to a country natural look.

Various types of green plants were tastefully arranged everywhere, bringing lush vitality to the space.

Gently closing the door, Wu Jie glanced at the kitchen; appliances like the stove and refrigerator had all been replaced.

Just as he was about to admire them and then return to his room, Lin Wan’s door cracked open a sliver.

“Oh, it’s you.

I thought someone had broken into our house!”

Lowering her guard, Lin Wan flung the door open.

She appeared in a thin nightgown with her hair lightly pinned up, smiling in a way that exuded a certain charm.

In her delicate hand, however, she was holding a stun gun.

“Something came up at work, so I rushed back overnight.” Wu Jie glanced at Tang Xin’s room, “Not making a peep tonight, is she not live streaming?”

“Oh, she did stream.

She even had me pop in her stream to play the guzheng.

I really didn’t expect today’s audience to be so enthusiastic, they gave thousands in gifts in less than half an hour; it’s insane!”

Playing the guzheng??

Wu Jie’s eyes widened in astonishment.

The dignified and talented Lin Yuan, truly a beauty with both brains and talent!

“It’s not that the audience was too crazy, it’s that you played too well.

Make sure to let me know the next time you stream so I can listen and appreciate it.”

Lin Yuan replied with a slight smile, “Sure, we can learn together sometime.

It’s getting late; good night.”

Wu Jie gave a slight nod and turned to enter his room.

As soon as he closed the door, Tang Xin sent a voice call.

“Why did you suddenly come back?”

Wu Jie, undressing and readying for a shower, replied casually:

“Your sister asked me to register for marriage tomorrow, and the engagement is the day after.

You should receive the invitation by tomorrow.”

Tang Xin laughed playfully, “Congratulations, Cousin-in-law!”

Wu Jie curiously asked, “You’re not surprised at all?”

Tang Xin laughed, “Surprised about what?

With her straightforward and impulsive temperament, this kind of act is not unexpected at all.”

“What I’m really curious about is, for you to be pretend lovers and actually go through with a wedding…

what benefits is she offering you?”

“Are you not afraid of being called a gold-digger or a kept man?”

Wu Jie chuckled to himself.

Why?

His pretend relationship and mock marriage with Tang Xiao weren’t for money, but for mutual needs.

Tang Xiao needed Wu Jie to act as a shield in her love life so she could focus on her career.

Wu Jie needed to expand his social circle through Tang Xiao, be envied and despised, to earn energy points and complete tasks.

After all, birds of a feather flock together.

Without Tang Xiao, how could Wu Jie, a common young man, be associated with the Tang Family, or be loathed by the likes of Wang Kun and Mu En?

Wu Jie had only seen billionaires like Meng Changxin on TV or in newspapers before.

How could he have had an encounter like today, not only meeting the man in person but also slapping him twice and earning quite a lot of animosity?

Without cooperating with Tang Xiao, and using each other’s strengths, how could Wu Jie, with his former social circle, complete his tasks?

A regular person’s animosity only adds up to a few energy points.

To complete a time-limited task with rewards would be impossible.

But…

“You guessed it, I am indeed a kept man!” Wu Jie cheerfully replied to Tang Xin.

Tang Xin scoffed, “You know kung fu, understand acupuncture, and can act.

And yet you say you’re a kept man?

Those are some pretty high standards for being a gigolo!”

Wu Jie chuckled, “Alright, you should stay here less these days.

Otherwise, you might get exposed at any moment!”

Tang Xin snorted, “You think I hadn’t thought of that?

With my bright and clever mind…”

“Bright my ass!

Who was the one who told me to keep my distance from Lin?

And look what happened?

You went on her live stream to make an appearance?”

“I was just playing to my strengths.

I really had no idea what else to stream to keep the viewers engaged, so I had to ask her to collaborate.

She really has the potential to be an internet celebrity and was interested too.

She was grinning from ear to ear when she got three thousand yuan.”

…

After some idle chat, Wu Jie was about to go to sleep.

Ding!
