Chapter 37
by GideonChapter 37: Hotel – 3
Even Night Jiujui was caught completely off guard by this unexpected turn of events.
To be honest, their original intention had simply been to increase Tu Jin’s affection for the little doll a little more. But the result…
They had never expected Tu Jin to go this far for the little doll!
The Princess clutched her chest. Looking at Tu Jin’s radiant smile, she felt her conscience aching terribly.
Waaah!
What kind of foolishly innocent son of a rich landlord was this?!
How could he be so easy to deceive?!
Unable to hold herself back any longer, the Princess didn’t even wait for Night Jiujui to let go. She immediately threw herself into Tu Jin’s arms, sobbing with emotion.
If Tu Jin had previously been nothing more than a tool for them to use, then now that he had become her possession, his status had changed. He was practically one of their own, albeit an unofficial member.
“Don’t worry, darling!”
The Princess lovingly cupped Tu Jin’s handsome face, gazing at him with deep affection. She even took the opportunity to ruffle his hair a few times.
“From now on, I’ll make sure to protect you properly!”
Protect you from getting deceived by other bad people like her until you don’t even have your underwear left!
Tu Jin felt that something seemed a little off.
“…?”
He pondered for a moment before suddenly having an epiphany!
“All my points are with you now.”
Looking at the Princess with a solemn expression, Tu Jin spoke with utmost seriousness.
“So you’ll have to give me a monthly allowance from now on, right?”
Besides, when it came down to it, his skills were all about throwing money around. So, as for this monthly allowance… Wouldn’t she be embarrassed if she gave him too little?
The Princess’s smile instantly disappeared.
“…”
She silently withdrew her little hand. After seriously calculating for a while…
She slowly held up three fingers.
“Three million a month?”
Tu Jin raised an eyebrow, feeling that the amount wasn’t quite enough.
“Isn’t that a little too little?”
The Princess, who had actually only intended to offer thirty thousand, fell silent.
“…”
The three fingers she was holding up trembled slightly.
Three million?
Every month?!
“Do you have a lot of enemies? Enough to get into fights every single month?”
Uh…
Tu Jin blinked, gradually beginning to test the waters.
“Th-Thirty thousand?”
“Three thousand!”
The Princess exploded on the spot.
“Your living allowance is three thousand. Fighting expenses are calculated separately. As long as you need it, there’s no limit!”
Even three thousand was more than she wanted to give him!
Did he think she didn’t know the cost of living? If he stayed at home and didn’t go out much, five points a day would be more than enough!
Uh…
Tu Jin suddenly felt a little less happy.
Vaguely, he seemed to see the legendary status of the subordinate husband waving at him.
Tu Jin fell into deep thought.
“…”
Well, it wasn’t as though being the subordinate one in the relationship was unacceptable. But… shouldn’t he at least secure a few benefits for himself?
After all, his wife was greedy, gluttonous, lustful, unreasonable, and surrounded by endless troubles. She needed to be coaxed and placated at the slightest provocation…
If he didn’t keep her tied to his side and personally watch over her, he couldn’t help feeling uneasy.
After all…
Without changing his expression, Tu Jin glanced at Qing Guizhu, who was standing nearby with a fan covering the lower half of his face. It was obvious that he was enjoying the show.
There were so many unfaithful male foxes outside, along with countless temptations. How could his innocent, precious wife possibly withstand such trials?
And so…
Tu Jin put on an earnest expression and attempted to reason with the Princess.
“Look, what if you’re not around when I get into a fight? Who am I supposed to go to for points then? Right?”
After hearing Tu Jin’s explanation…
The Princess frowned, feeling that he did have a point.
After thinking it over briefly—
“Don’t worry. Starting today, I’ll be by your side every step of the way!”
She made the promise with absolute conviction.
“Really?”
A fleeting glimmer of triumph flashed through Tu Jin’s eyes.
He deliberately put on a troubled expression, pretending to hesitate while secretly welcoming the idea.
“Won’t you get tired of me after following me around for a while?”
Of course not!
The Princess immediately declared with righteous conviction that she was absolutely not that kind of person!
And so—
After Tu Jin expressed his trust in the Princess…
The two parties successfully reached a perfect mutual understanding regarding their future living arrangements, treatment, and other such matters.
The entire exchange left the three bystanders speechless.
Night Jiujui in particular.
She silently watched the little doll, who was happily being carried in one arm by Tu Jin and had absolutely no idea that she had been tricked. Gradually, she began to question herself.
It felt like…
Did falling in love make dolls lose their intelligence?
Or…
Had she accidentally damaged the little doll’s brain when she was sewing its head together earlier?
No, no, no! She remembered that the little doll didn’t even have a brain!
Oh—
It didn’t have a brain.
Night Jiujui gradually developed an expression of profound despair.
Tu Jin, however, couldn’t care less about any of that.
One wife in exchange for one suite. Could you believe such a good deal existed?
Completely satisfied with the outcome, he no longer wanted to stand around with the other two bachelors. What was his status, and what was the status of those two single dogs?
All he wanted was to enjoy some quality time alone with his precious wife.
And so…
After obtaining the little doll’s consent, Tu Jin very politely indicated to everyone that the two of them would be heading back first.
He paid particular attention to the Puppeteer.
As he passed the Puppeteer, he even casually kissed the little doll.
And even when he was about to close the door, Tu Jin didn’t forget to take one last look at the Puppeteer, whose smile was overflowing with “tenderness.”
“Darling, look—”
“There’s a simp over there!”
“No way, no way, no way! Surely, there’s no simp out there who actually thinks that description applies to him, right?”
