“That day won’t come.”
Su Shenfan said indifferently, “Who knows? I might be crippled one day.”
In his line of work, he had committed all sorts of crimes; once he accepted a mission, he would see it through to the end.
Only he knew how cruel his methods were.
That was why he didn’t even dare touch women in the past. He was afraid that a woman would poison him, and he would lose his life.
Therefore, he was most displeased when the Rising Clouds Emperor gave him women so openly.
People said that it was lonely at the top, but it was also easy to fall from the top; the higher you were, the harder the fall.
“If that day really comes… I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you much.” Bu Yaolian thought for a moment, then sighed. “But I’ve saved a lot of money. It’s not a problem for me to support you.”
Su Shenfan snorted. “If I need a woman to support me, I might as well die first.”
Bu Yaolian shook her head. “You can’t think that way. As long as there’s life, there’s hope. I’ve saved a lot of money.”
Bu Yaolian felt that he must think that she had too little money.
Otherwise, why would someone like him, who loved money so much, give it up and rather die?
“Keep those bits of silver for yourself to buy candy. I don’t need your money.” Su Shenfan hugged her and closed his eyes.
Bu Yaolian gave an “oh” and wondered if she had said something wrong.
After thinking about it, she didn’t think she had.
If it really was over for Su Shenfan, she couldn’t abandon him. Other than money, she didn’t have anything else.
Her grandparents had left her a large sum of money, and she still had a lot of industries that could still make money.
She was poor in that all she had was money.
However, she knew that Su Shenfan didn’t believe that she had money.
Taking advantage of when Su Shenfan was sleeping, she got up and opened the bag she had brought with her. Inside was a stack of banknotes which was in circulation in all three nations.
Bu Yaolian thought for a moment, then placed the banknotes next to Su Shenfan’s pillow.
Then, she began to try on the clothes she was going to wear to the ceremony.
In the past, she would be with the Bu family, and on this day, she would wake up early in the morning. The nanny would bring her paper flowers to stick on the windows, and she would pay her respects to her grandparents in the morning.
As soon as the day broke, the maids would begin to clean her room. Places that were usually left alone had to be cleaned; even the beams of the ceiling had to be cleaned.
Nothing like spider webs could be left behind.
Bu Yaolian had to dress beautifully.
However, because she had been fat for so many years, even the best clothes looked ugly on her.
In the end, she wore clothes that were particularly eye-catching, which at least made her stand out.
She was already ugly; why not be flashy about it?
Hahaha, Bu Yaolian was happy that she could finally dress beautifully this year.
Her New Year wish every year was to be slim and beautiful. This year, through unusual means, her dream was fulfilled.
With such a beautiful man by her side, her life was complete!
Bu Yaolian tried on more than ten dresses, all of which were personally made by the female embroiderers at the Earthly Residence.
The Earthly Residence had always been good to beauties.
Shao Zun kept his own embroiderers since he had many beauties, so he didn’t have to buy clothes outside.
In the end, Bu Yaolian chose a colorful dress with a wispy skirt. Twirling in front of the mirror, she felt that she was really beautiful.
