Chapter 85 She Actually Believed It, Believed...
"Hehe..." Xia Liu laughed without speaking, knowing that such matters didn't need explanation, the ones who understood would naturally get it.
"By the way, Xia Liu, Younger Sister Gu has been looking for you, hoping you could help her become a bit more beautiful," Zhang Qing said with a wicked smile.
The smile on Zhang Qing's face gave Xia Liu a bad feeling.
"You didn't tell Sister Gu about the Beauty Mud?"
"No, I told Younger Sister Gu that sleeping with you and having a bit of soy milk is all it takes for beauty care, and guess what? She actually believed it, believed it..."
...
Xia Liu was shocked, feeling like his own tricks were terrible compared to Zhang Qing's.
"It's getting late, you should go back and rest up. Younger Sister Gu might want to meet you for a drink tomorrow," Zhang Qing said, tightening her robe with a meaningful look.
Xia Liu was just about to explain when Zhang Qing suddenly pushed him out of the door.
Recalling the scene he'd seen at the Sanhe Bar, Xia Liu immediately felt parched and tongue-tied.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Looking out at the high mountain that was under development, Xia Liu turned around, ran back home to grab a bag of Beauty Mud, then set off with a flashlight to check on the progress of the construction project and Gu Fangxia.
Standing on the top of the mountain looking down, Xia Liu was secretly shocked to see that, less than two hundred meters from the summit, three large excavators were in operation, and several trucks were constantly moving earth.
The scene was very much under control; while watching the machines work, Xia Liu also spotted Gu Fangxia.
At the moment, she was dressed in a sportswear outfit, standing on a large rock with a safety helmet on her head.
Her tall figure dimmed the surrounding lights, and her slender hand was holding a walkie-talkie, directing the workers.
The appearance of Xia Liu surprised Gu Fangxia, but she still put down her work and walked towards him.
"Xia Liu, you're back." Gu Fangxia felt somewhat embarrassed when she saw Xia Liu, perhaps because Zhang Qing's words kept lingering in her mind.
"Yes, the construction payment isn't fully settled yet, so I went to the city to do some business and earn money to pay off debts."
"Don't speak like that, even if the project is completed, it wouldn't matter if you delay the payment for a year or two," Gu Fangxia said with a joyous smile.
Ever since Xia Liu had come to Shanhe Town to recover those debts for her, her fondness for Xia Liu had hit an all-time high.
Plus, Xia Liu had transferred ten million to her even before the project had started. Just these two points alone were enough to show that Xia Liu was worth cultivating a deep friendship with.
"That wouldn't be right. I've also earned some money in the city these past few days, and I've already transferred it to you. If it's not enough, you can tell me anytime," Xia Liu said, waving his hand elegantly.
Gu Fangxia was stunned for a moment, then took out her phone to check. Standing by the noisy machines earlier meant she wouldn't have noticed any message alerts, plus it was the middle of the night.
When she opened the notification of the deposit, she was astonished. Xia Liu had actually transferred 25 million to her!!!
She had budgeted the construction cost at a relatively high standard, and yet Xia Liu had given her an extra five million!
"Sister Gu, don't feel burdened. The extra five million is just stored with you for now; after this project ends, there will be even more projects I'll need your help with," Xia Liu said, noticing Gu Fangxia's discomfort and offering an explanation.
"Uh-uh, you gave me a fright," Gu Fangxia exclaimed, patting her chest; she'd indeed let her thoughts run wild for a moment.
In the past, when she had worked on projects elsewhere, some bosses also gave her extra money, not much, maybe a couple of thousands or tens of thousands.
And their only aim was to have me accompany them, which is the so-called "unspoken rules."
Every time, Gu Fangxia would refuse and return the excess payment.
"Right, Xia Liu, there's something I would like to discuss with you," Gu Fangxia said in a low, hesitant voice as the atmosphere became silent.
"Here it comes!" Xia Liu's pupils shrank as his heartbeat started to accelerate. "Sister Gu, please tell me what it is, and if I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."
Gu Fangxia didn't immediately explain, instead, she gestured for Xia Liu to follow her to the hillside.
Under the bright moonlight, Gu Fangxia suddenly stopped: "Xia Liu, I want to be as beautiful as Sister Zhang. Will you help me?"
"There's no problem with that..." Xia Liu had already thought that this beauty wanted his help, perhaps with this issue, but just as he was about to explain about the Beauty Mud, Gu Fangxia suddenly took off her top.
Xia Liu immediately turned off the flashlight, and even so, the moonlight still sprinkled on Gu Fangxia's pale back.
"Sister Gu, you, you..."
"Xia Liu, I gathered a lot of courage to ask this; you can't let me down. Every day at the worksite, I can hardly bear to let people see my face," Gu Fangxia said honestly. She usually mingled at the construction site, exposed to wind and sun, and even if her appearance hadn't deteriorated much, she felt a sense of imbalance in her heart.
Xia Liu gazed at Gu Fangxia with a dazed look, struggling inwardly.
If he told her about the Beauty Mud, he would lose this tremendous opportunity!
But if he didn't, it felt like taking advantage of someone.
Difficult!!!
As Xia Liu fantasized, Gu Fangxia, with her arms around herself, slowly turned around, and even with her head low, her charming and seductive quality was undeniable.
"Sister Zhang already told me, as long as I sleep with you, I can get beautified..." Gu Fangxia said weakly, and then slowly squatted down.
"Damn it! How can there be such a foolish woman!" In that instant, Xia Liu felt he was being too beastly. Facing such an innocent and naive girl, why was he hesitating?
So, under Gu Fangxia's shy gaze, Xia Liu picked up the clothes from the ground and wrapped them around her: "Sister Gu, please don't force me. If I go crazy, I'll make sure you won't be able to walk for three days." Continue your journey at empire
"Not able to walk for three days..." Gu Fangxia didn't dare lift her head in her shyness, only letting out a soft voice: "If I can't walk, then I can't walk, I want to be even more beautiful."
After speaking, she even attempted to tear her clothes off once more.
In fact, at the moment Xia Liu draped the clothes over her, she felt very disappointed.
She couldn't help but ask herself if she wasn't attractive enough to move Xia Liu, perhaps because she wasn't beautiful enough.
"Sister Gu, you misunderstood me. To become beautiful, you just need to apply a face mask. Sister Zhang was deceiving you," Xia Liu's heart bled, rejecting a fair, tender, and well-shaped woman who had willingly come to him.
"What! Just applying a face mask will do?" The next second, Gu Fangxia screamed.
Seeing Xia Liu nod in confirmation, the blush on her face intensified to the extreme!
She had originally thought she needed to do that thing with Xia Liu to get beautified, but it turned out to be this.
If there were a cave nearby, she would have dived in without hesitation and never come out again—this was utterly humiliating.
"Since that's the case, then why are you still looking?" Gu Fangxia snapped, raising her head. She had thought Xia Liu had no feelings for her, but after catching a glimpse of him, she suddenly felt she had suffered a great loss.
