Xiao Jinsheng curiously reached out to touch her ankle, but found nothing there.
Just as she was puzzled, her thoughts were interrupted by the arrival of the Cannibal Flower.
"President Xiao." The Cannibal Flower warmly brought her a cup of tea: "I heard you got drunk last night, so I personally made this hangover tea for you. Have a taste."
"Thank you, Hua." Xiao Jinsheng laughed as she took it.
Under the expectant gaze of the Cannibal Flower, she brought the teacup to her lips.
Noticing the increasingly excited look in the Cannibal Flower’s eyes as it watched her.
A mischievous thought struck Xiao Jinsheng, and she moved the hangover tea away: "I just remembered, I might be allergic to tea leaves."
"Hua, didn’t you say you liked me?" Xiao Jinsheng looked at the Cannibal Flower with a suspicious gaze: "You haven’t even found out what I’m allergic to?"
"President Xiao, of course I know." The Cannibal Flower calmly smiled: "It’s just called hangover tea, it’s actually juice inside."
"Then why did you say it was hangover tea?" Xiao Jinsheng pursued.
"It needs a name, right?" The Cannibal Flower continued smiling: "It can’t be called hangover juice, that doesn’t sound nice."
"And it can’t show..." As it spoke, the Cannibal Flower suddenly leaned close to Xiao Jinsheng.
Its green vine hooked around Xiao Jinsheng’s arm, smiling: "If I don’t show my concern for President Xiao, how can I let you know my true feelings?"
"Hua... New number, stop it." As the Cannibal Flower approached, Xiao Jinsheng retreated to the edge of the sofa.
But for every half-step she retreated, the Cannibal Flower moved forward a step.
Soon, Xiao Jinsheng was squeezed into the very corner of the edge.
Xiao Jinsheng quickly shoved the teacup back into the Cannibal Flower’s hands and stood up to leave.
The Cannibal Flower calmly watched the back of Xiao Jinsheng leaving and sneered: "Go ahead, take another step, and all the assets of your Xiao Family will belong to my Hua Family."
"I am Xiao Jinsheng." The domineering chief retorted with disdain: "I, Xiao Jinsheng, am the Realm Rich of the Illusion Realm."
"That was all in the past." The Cannibal Flower scoffed arrogantly.
Its gaze at Xiao Jinsheng was filled with a sense of hatred for not meeting expectations and obsession over what cannot be obtained: "While you’ve been thinking about that dead Snake Clan Beastman every day, thinking about your radish boy!"
"I’ve already taken in all the industries belonging to your Xiao Family."
"Xiao Jinsheng, my first step was your Xiao Family, the next step is you."
The Cannibal Flower confidently approached Xiao Jinsheng: "As long as you agree to marry me, I can return all of your Xiao Family’s industries."
"Something’s not right." Xiao Jinsheng frowned, calling out to the Illusion System.
[What’s wrong, isn’t this just perfect?]
The Illusion System didn’t understand.
"Didn’t you set up the Cannibal Flower as my confidant flower?" Xiao Jinsheng asked in confusion.
Why did the performance of the Cannibal Flower seem more like a Tyrant Flower instead of a confidant flower, truly living up to its Cannibal Flower nature.
[You, as the domineering chief, became a regretful chief because of the death of Mo Baihua]
[In the end, it’s just that there are too few issues with the family business]
[The Cannibal Flower just provided you with more difficulties, giving you something to do so that you don’t keep thinking about the deceased Mo Baihua]
[Isn’t this exactly what a confidant flower is?]
"Alright, alright, this kind of confidant flower, huh." Xiao Jinsheng admired, giving a thumbs-up.
The Illusion System stayed silent.
It only dared to glare at the Cannibal Flower from the shadows.
After all, it was this Cannibal Flower that forced it to rewrite the script.
Saying that it, the Cannibal Flower, couldn’t be a confidant flower, but could be a Tyrant Flower.
The Illusion System thought about using Caicai’s suggested method to deal with the Cannibal Flower.
Who knew that not only did it fail to handle the Cannibal Flower, but it also ended up being lashed into dizziness by the Cannibal Flower.
Because of this, the Illusion System was so angry that it directly silenced Caicai, who was otherwise able to speak.
If it had to suffer, then no one else should have it easy either!
[Chief Xiao, stop dawdling, hurry up and act]
Unable to handle the Cannibal Flower itself, the Illusion System pinned its hopes on Xiao Jinsheng.
Hoping she could deal with the Cannibal Flower.
Who knew Xiao Jinsheng just let it go.
The domineering chief weakly smiled at the Cannibal Flower: "Mo Baihua is gone, and my heart is already dead too."
"So what if the family fortune is gone? If giving everything could bring Mo Baihua back, I would do anything."
"Hua." Xiao Jinsheng turned to the assertive Cannibal Flower: "Even if you use every trick in the book, you may get my body, but you’ll never get my heart."
"Doesn’t matter." The Cannibal Flower declared domineeringly: "I love to possess by force."
"Where’s my radish?" Xiao Jinsheng darkly looked at Caicai: "It’s the only memory Mo Baihua left me, where is it now!"
"Don’t worry, that radish is doing fine." The Cannibal Flower laughed: "When we’re together, I’ll treat it like my own radish."
"Wuwuwu—" Caicai, being carried in a corner by Mo Jiao, angrily gestured around.
"Who’s there!" The Cannibal Flower became instantly alert.
Xiao Jinsheng turned around along with it.
Only to see Mo Heihua, who she met just last night, holding the radish Caicai as he approached.
"You..." The Cannibal Flower looked at Mo Jiao with terror, its voice frantic: "Aren’t you already dead?"
"You’re the dead one!" Mo Jiao shot a fierce glare at the Cannibal Flower.
"Aren’t you Mo Baihua?" The Cannibal Flower was surprised to find that the person in front of it, exuding a cold killing intent, didn’t seem like the former Mo Baihua from their aura.
"I am..." Mo Jiao stammered for a second before confirming his name: "I am Mo Heihua."
"So... so similar." The Cannibal Flower marveled as it looked at Mo Jiao, suddenly realizing as it turned to Xiao Jinsheng: "President Xiao, no wonder you rejected me, you’ve got yourself a substitute who looks like Mo Baihua."
"Substitute?" Mo Jiao keenly caught onto the key point.
The Cannibal Flower once again raised its proud head: "Yes, you are a substitute."
"So what if you look the same, you will always be a substitute." The Cannibal Flower sneered: "Just now, President Xiao agreed to be with me, she can only be with me."
"Xiao Jinsheng!" Mo Jiao looked at Xiao Jinsheng with disappointed eyes.
This moment was the sound of hope for Xiao Jinsheng fading away completely in the heart of the newly reborn Mo Baihua.
He dropped the radish and turned to storm away in anger.
"Wuwuwu—" The silenced Caicai chased after Mo Jiao’s direction of escape, swearing as it went.
Xiao Jinsheng painfully raised a hand to press her forehead: "Do I really have to act ? My heart is so tired."
"Butler, go and bring back Mo Heihua." The domineering chief issued the order.
Her cold eyes fell on the Cannibal Flower: "Marry me? Dream on."
"President Xiao, don’t forget, your Xiao Family’s industries are already in my Hua Family’s hands." The Cannibal Flower warned. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel(ꜰ)ire.net
"So what? I, Xiao Jinsheng, having become the Realm Rich of this Illusion Realm, you think the power I show is all I have?" Xiao Jinsheng sneered coldly.
With the Cannibal Flower basking in its anger, Xiao Jinsheng turned to look towards the door where Mo Jiao left.
Coldly she spoke: "Escort the Cannibal Flower to the guest room."
"Since it likes to come to my Xiao Family." Xiao Jinsheng turned domineeringly, cold gaze falling on the Cannibal Flower: "Then don’t leave."
"Dare you imprison me!" The Cannibal Flower roared in fury.
"Hah." Xiao Jinsheng chuckled coldly.
Offering no response, just sheer disdain.
