New chapterChapter Seventy-Four: Let's See How You Perform

"Are you happy to receive six million? "

Of course she's happy!

Especially for Sheng Jiaoyang right now, this sum of money isn't small.

But hearing those words from Shen Zhining, Sheng Jiaoyang's smile vanished. So, the Demon King Shen already knew…

"What do you mean?" Sheng Jiaoyang looked at Shen Zhining warily. He wouldn't bring this up for no reason; there must be some hidden agenda.

Shen Zhining looked at Sheng Jiaoyang with a profound and unfathomable gaze, then fell silent.

Being stared at like this, especially by Shen Zhining, was quite stressful. During their drinks, Sheng Jiaoyang began to ponder Shen Zhining's intentions. It certainly wasn't just about telling her he knew about the shady dealings in the contract. Based on her understanding of Shen Zhining, and recalling what had just happened, Shen Zhining had probably called her here for more than just to be a shield.

How old is the Demon King Shen this year?

Sheng Jiaoyang counted on her fingers. He was five years older than her. She was supposed to turn 20 this year, meaning the Demon King Shen was actually only 25?

"So young!" Sheng Jiaoyang looked up at Shen Zhining in surprise. His aura was so cold and somber that, without considering his age, no one would guess he was young. It wasn't that his face looked old, but rather that he gave off a mature vibe, completely lacking the youthful energy expected of someone his age.

This was probably why Grandpa Shen was so eager to introduce Shen Zhining to potential partners, likely hoping to change him.

However, it clearly wasn't working; Shen Zhining wasn't appreciative and had even found a scapegoat.

Well, now that scapegoat aura unfortunately fell on her head.

"Are you trying to get me to play along?" Sheng Jiaoyang asked directly.

Shen Zhining smiled. Just as her intuition told her, this person truly understood him.

Seeing Shen Zhining smile, Sheng Jiaoyang knew she had guessed correctly. Her eyes darted around, seeing this as a good opportunity, and she said, "Playing along isn't a problem, but what would I get in return?"

Agreeing too quickly would surely make the Demon King suspect her ulterior motives. Even if she had motives, she didn't want him to know, otherwise, how could her plan proceed?

"What else do you want?"

"Uh, I haven't thought about it yet."

What a greedy girl! Shen Zhining's lips curved into a smile as he slowly took a sip of his drink and said, "Then it depends on your performance."

Back home, Sheng Jiaoyang was still a little incredulous that the Demon King Shen had let her off so easily.

She kept thinking about what the Demon King Shen meant by "then it depends on your performance."

"Why did dinner take so long?" Lin Na, who was applying a face mask, sat up from the sofa.

"I ran into Shen Zhining."

Sheng Jiaoyang tossed her bag aside, threw herself onto the sofa, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"What? The Demon King Shen?" Lin Na ripped off her face mask and looked at Sheng Jiaoyang in surprise. "How did you run into him again?"

Sheng Jiaoyang recounted the events of dinner to Lin Na.

"That's perfect. You were just trying to get close to him, and he offered to help you. It's like even God is helping you." Lin Na said.

Sheng Jiaoyang nodded, stood up, and said, "I'm going to take a shower. I'll go to bed early tonight, and we'll go shopping tomorrow!"

"No way."

Sheng Jiaoyang turned to look at Lin Na. "What's wrong? Are you busy again?"

Lin Na shrugged. "Yeah, Fashion Week is about to start, I need to get busy."

"Oh, okay, then you go ahead and get busy!"

"This time you have to help me too." "

?" Sheng Jiaoyang looked at Lin Na in confusion.

Lin Na laughed and said, "Things are different now. With your current looks, you could walk the runway at Fashion Week. Little Sun, let's work hard together!"

"I forgot to tell you, I've already bought the plane tickets," Lin Na added, "for both of us."

"...Okay, you win."
