The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 221: Chapter 142: 【Divine Fortune Halo】_2

“””

These were all ordinary home-cooked dishes, but as soon as an expert steps in, Zhou Wang immediately noticed the difference.

If Jiang Qingkui’s cooking was creative and innovative, then Chen Shu’s culinary skills were masterful simplicity at its finest.

Zhou Wang, who was eating with gusto, couldn’t help but exclaim, “So, Sister Shu, you’re the real head chef of Cloud Residence!”

Initially, Zhou Wang found the name of Chen Shu’s private kitchen quite endearing. After all, the trust fund that transferred money to him was also called “Cloud Trust.” Now, he genuinely thought this place was great, and being with a real big sister like Chen Shu was inexplicably relaxing. He could definitely come by often.

“Feng Shui?” Zhou Wang was taken aback, “Sister Shu, do you believe in that too?”

“It doesn’t matter if I believe it or not. What’s important is that others do.”

Chen Shu chuckled softly.

Zhou Wang understood and considered the types of people Chen Shu might usually deal with, and indeed, that seemed to be the case.

However, when the topic came up, a thought crossed Zhou Wang’s mind, and he directly used his mind to touch the “Golden Magic Ball” and clicked it open.

Since a Feng Shui master had guided this place, maybe something really different would happen?

The Magic Ball disappeared, but nothing appeared in the system warehouse. Just when Zhou Wang was puzzled, he heard the system’s notification.

Ding!

[The host has opened the “Golden Magic Ball” and received the blessings of the gods from Giant God Peak.]

[“Divine Fortune Halo” has been activated.]

[Countdown: 7 days]

…

[Divine Fortune Halo (Trimmed Version): The gods used their great powers to imbue you with their divinity, but due to interference from reality’s rules, the halo’s effect was greatly diminished.]

[You received the blessings of eight gods, including the “Good luck of the Child of the Stars,” “Dragon King Star Forger’s Vision,” “Dawn Goddess’s Vitality,” “Moon Goddess’s Protection,” “Twilight Star Spirit’s Charm”…]

…

Hmm?

Zhou Wang sat up straight suddenly.

The blessings of the gods…

Sounded pretty interesting.

But wasn’t seven days a bit too short?

Not sure if it was psychological, but Zhou Wang really felt something different, although he couldn’t pinpoint what exactly…

“What’s up, is it this kind of wicker chair you’re not used to?”

Chen Shu looked over with curiosity, “Do you want me to get you a sofa?”

“It’s nothing, just suddenly thought of something…”

Zhou Wang glanced at the time and finished his tea in one go, “Sister Shu, I probably need to get going.”

Even though it wasn’t a weekend afternoon, Chen Shu’s place was still bustling with business. There were a few tables playing mahjong upstairs, and he had already taken up enough of her time. It wouldn’t be appropriate to linger here any longer.

“Alright, but wait a bit, Brother Wang, I have something for you… ah!”

Chen Shu was smiling as she stood up, but as soon as she stepped forward, her stiletto got caught in the gap of the cobblestones, and, with a startled cry, she fell straight towards Zhou Wang.

Zhou Wang was a bit stunned, but he instinctively reached out to catch Chen Shu.

With precision, Chen Shu landed on Zhou Wang’s lap, her face facing up, solidly seated, with her hand also wrapping around Zhou Wang’s neck.

What kind of cheesy plot twist was this?

Feeling the warmth in his arms, Zhou Wang was smacking his lips when he heard Chen Shu’s soft whisper, “Is Sister’s butt good to hold?”

At this moment, Zhou Wang realized that both his hands were in very inappropriate places, one tightly covering Chen Shu’s full moon, while the other had slipped inside the slit of her cheongsam, gently stroking her thigh enveloped in flesh-colored stockings.

“Sorry, got used to it last night. I didn’t mean to…”

An slightly embarrassed Zhou Wang quickly let go.

“Last night?”

Chen Shu was taken aback, but she didn’t press further. She just chuckled, slowly stood up, “No worries, Sister needs to thank you for catching me. Otherwise, falling on this ground would’ve been pretty painful… But, seems like I do have some attraction for you, huh?”

While tidying up her clothes, Chen Shu glanced at Zhou Wang, and before Zhou Wang could react, she smiled, swayed her figure, and went inside, seemingly unfazed by this little incident…

Zhou Wang, feeling somewhat teased back, tugged helplessly at his pants. Turning around, he fell into thought.

Could this also be a little perk from the “Divine Fortune Halo”?

The effect seemed pretty instant!

Chen Shu quickly returned, holding a black bag, and handed it to Zhou Wang, “Hey, take this with you.”

Zhou Wang curiously took it and looked inside, only to find two packs of cigarettes.

One blue, one gold, both slim.

“Fishing Platform?” Zhou Wang was surprised, “These cigarettes are hard to find, right?”

Zhou Wang vaguely remembered that these cigarettes had a state guesthouse background and a special supply version, making them hard to buy on the market.

“I have channels to get them. I remember you like slim cigarettes, so these two are for you.”

Chen Shu blinked at Zhou Wang.

“Alright then, since you’re giving them, I won’t be polite.”

After some thought, Zhou Wang smiled and said, “How much for the meal and the tea, I’ll settle it with you.”

“It’s not much, just forget it… Besides, I cooked myself, which means I’m treating you as a friend. Do you really need to be so polite with me?”

Chen Shu shook her head, just smiled.

“Feels like you’ve said it all…”

Zhou Wang sighed, “Then, how about I get a membership card?”

“That can work.” Chen Shu grinned, “But you don’t need to do anything, I’ll just enter your name into the checkout system. Later, if you want to eat, just come anytime, eat first, and pay whenever you want. You decide how often to settle the bill.”

“Your membership cards are all on account?”
