She took a look at all the videos on the computer and had no choice but to admit that all the videos in the file were about the Spring Festival Gala. The bright and beaming music blaring at her made her face feel numb.

Wanwan probed the seller on WeChat, but not only did they try and pretend to be dead, they also removed Wanwan as a friend on Wechat when she asked for a refund.

“…”

Xiang Wanwan’s whole body became dispirited. She was so mad she ate all the fruits that Lu Ziqian had brought her, satisfying her previously empty stomach.

Belch!

She didn’t know where Lu Ziqian bought the fruits but it tasted really great!

Eating and drinking made her feel better, so Xiang Wanwan cheered herself up and continued painting. She serialized a comic on the Internet and had to submit chapters regularly every month. This month’s chapter was only half complete, and the month is almost over. If she doesn’t work hard, she’s afraid that she’ll have to work overtime.

This comic tells the story of a wealthy young lady who dreams of finding an assertive CEO boyfriend. The name of it is simple, “The Lady.”

Xiang Wanwan’s painting style is very delicate and beautiful, so her brush strokes are clean. She studied art at university. Her painting ability shuts everyone up, the world created by her brush is pristine, stunning all that laid their eyes upon it. Even all the characters are painted scarily delicate. On the Internet, she is seen as an idol to many, and countless people are full of praise for her art.

The script of this “Miss” is an online novel serialized on the Jinjiang novel website. This novel is very popular on the Internet. The heroine in the novel is spoiled and flamboyant, but it’s not disgusting. There are many small white flowers. Among the heroines of the Black Lotus, she is so rich and beautiful that she is a character made for heaven. She immediately captured the hearts of many netizens and became the first place in the annual ranking of romance online novels.

Now that the novel has sold the copyright of film, television, and comics, the company that bought the copyright in the first place asked her to cooperate, and the price given was also very good, because there was no job at that time and there was another very important reason. She took this job and now more than half of it has been drawn, and it has entered the final stage.

This comic is also very popular on the Internet now, and even Xiang Wanwan’s fame has risen to a higher level. Her beautiful and delicate style of drawing has become the topic countless people met because of, and even fans of the original work shouted that the hero and heroine in their minds are what she made them look like in her comic.

Of course, they guessed well, as Xiang Wanwan has never been short of money in her life.

It took an afternoon to draw the contents of the two chapters. Xiang Wanwan felt a little sore in her neck and a little tired too. She couldn’t help resting on the table to rest, but she fell asleep unexpectedly.

The air conditioner in the study room was running, and as Lu Ziqian came back, he opened the door of the study room, when he saw her frowning with her whole body so cold that she almost shrank into a ball.

Lu Ziqian: “…”

Unable to help shaking his head, he reached out and carried the person in his arms. In the past month or so, Xiang Wanwan had long been familiar with his scent. When she was picked up by him, she just rubbed against his shoulder, full of dependence, and instinctively leaned against him, and slept even more soundly than before.

The door of the study closed, and he carried her directly to the bedroom. The bedroom was covered with a plush carpet, and as his feet stepped on it. It was so soft that there was no sound at all.

While putting the person on the bed, said person woke up in a daze for a moment and held Lu Ziqian’s hand.

Lu Ziqian’s waist was encircled by her, so he could only lie on his side on the bed, and then adjusted Xiang Wanwan’s posture to let her sleep more comfortably.

“I’m going to make dinner, go to sleep by yourself.” He whispered.

Xiang Wanwan hugged his waist still not letting go, she shook her little head and buried her head deeper in his arms, and muttered, “No, I can’t sleep well without you, let’s order takeout at night, or just noodles are fine too.”

Lu Ziqian wanted to say something else, and Xiang Wanwan immediately said fiercely: “If I say no, then it’s a no. If you don’t listen to me, I will deduct your money, and I am your sponsor.”

With that tone, she was super proud of herself…

Lu Ziqian was amused by her and said, “Okay then, I’ll sleep with you.”

Xiang Wanwan was instantly happy after hearing his words and soon fell asleep again, hugging the warm human pillow. She slept soundly and deeply that night, and when she woke up, it was all dark, and then she noticed that she seemed to have a little cold.

Lu Ziqian was not in bed, and Xiang Wanwan took her mobile phone to scroll on Weibo. She had two accounts on Weibo, one for drawing and one for writing. Now, these two accounts were filled with people all urging her to update. On the comic’s side, it was still fine to bear, but on the novel side, the readers in the comment section were raising the roof, shouting why hasn’t she started a new novel.

In fact, Xiang Wanwan has only written a novel, that is “The Lady”, but her book was such a hit, her fans were eating her texts up. But after “The Lady” was completed, she didn’t write any new novels. Netizens were clamoring whether she was exhausted and couldn’t write anything. Xiang Wanwan hated to admit that what they said was the truth because she really didn’t know what to write. Nothing could inspire her.

Scared, she didn’t even dare to read Weibo comments, in fear that she would see a message that could send a blade from a thousand miles away to stab her, making her feel guilty, so she covered her ears and closed her eyes, so she wouldn’t know what she can’t see.

After fiddling with her phone for a while, Xiang Wanwan went downstairs in pajamas.

The living room was brightly lit. Lu Ziqian was sitting on the sofa in the living room holding his iPad, whatever he was looking at remained unknown. When he heard the movement of her feet, he raised his head and said, “You are awake, sit down for a while, I’ll go to the kitchen to bring out the dinner.”

Xiang Wanwan hummed, dragged her slippers, and sat at the dining table, only to be served a fruit salad.

Xiang Wanwan: “??”

Glancing at the sumptuous four dishes and one soup in front of Lu Ziqian, she was flabbergasted. She was the one paying the bills, okay? How could Lu Ziqian treat her like this? Isn’t he afraid that she will deduct his money?

Lu Ziqian looked over with a smile and said, “Wan Wan, you’re staring at me so fiercely, are you dissatisfied with the food I made?”

Xiang Wanwan’s body shrank, she whispered, “You, why are you eating such a luxurious meal while I have to eat a salad, that’s so unfair.”

Slowly eating a piece of cola chicken wings, Lu Ziqian retorted: “Didn’t you say you want to lose weight? Wanwan, you’ve only been on a diet for a morning. You can’t give up weight loss halfway, darling!”

His reason is too good, I can’t refute it!

Xiang Wanwan felt aggrieved, seeing Lu Ziqian eating deliciously, it made her salad feel even harder to swallow.

Extremely disappointing!

After Xiang Wanwan finally chewed down all of the disgusting fruit salad, she started drooling at the big pot of stewed pork ribs. The ribs were stewed with corn, the soft and glutinous corn cooked together with ribs will definitely taste great, how delightful!

Eating meat may cause you to gain weight, but eating corn definitely won’t right? If she could get a bowl of soup, everything would be perfect!

Xiang Wanwan hesitantly said, “Lu Ziqian, I want to eat corn.”

He glanced at her and Xiang Wanwan continued with a guilty conscience lingering in her heart, “Although I’m dieting, corn doesn’t have much fat, don’t you think?”

But such corn probably absorbs a lot of fat, so it will make people fatter than eating meat.

“You’re right, then, you can eat two corns.” Lu Ziqian agreed.

With his approval, Xiang Wanwan seemed to immediately have found an ally and was completely convinced that eating corn would not gain fats, and said happily, “Yes, how can eating corn make me fatter? I’ll eat it. Two first.”

“Woah!” One bite and a large chunk went missing from a section of the corncob.

Xiang Wanwan was in tears after, it was really delicious!

After eating four pieces of corn in a row, she licked her lips unsatisfactorily, and said very greedily: “I’ll drink another bowl of soup, soup is not meat, so I definitely won’t gain weight.”

“…”

Only after drinking the bowl of soup did Xiang Wanwan’s stomach feel full. Is fruit salad even edible? It’s not filling at all.

Lu Ziqian asked her, “Do you still want to eat?”

Xiang Wanwan shook his head: “I need to lose weight, I won’t eat it.”

Lu Ziqian smiled, leaned over, gently squeezed her cheeks, and placed a kiss on her lips, the scent of pork ribs soup still lingering.

Xiang Wanwan was actually not full yet. The few pieces of cut corn added up to only about one corn, a fruit salad, and a bowl of soup together with that wasn’t enough at all! However, she wanted to lose weight, so she mustn’t gain any more weight. If she gets fatter she won’t be able to wear her beautiful dresses.

She must carry out her weight loss plan to the end!

Of course, such a scenario could only be a dream, reality is cruel. Later that night, her hunger woke her up.
