Chapter 121: The Potent Effects of the Potion

Looking at Zhu Nan’s calm expression, Wang Haoran was very puzzled.

She looks perfectly normal, so why is her favorability so strange? Is it really true that a woman’s heart is a needle at the bottom of the sea?

Either treat me as a close buddy with a favorability of 49, or flirt with me with a favorability of 50—can’t you make up your mind?

I can’t stand it any longer. Old Zhu, you piqued my curiosity first, let me give you a little modification!

Although for mere cooperation, such favorability is sufficient and there’s no need to increase it, Wang Haoran couldn’t help but want to use the Pure Desire Potion.

It’s all about doing as you please!

Having had this item for so long, it’s time to test its effects.

Favorability at 49 means using the potion will fail; favorability at 50 means it will succeed.

And since Zhu Nan’s favorability changes every three seconds, it really tests Wang Haoran’s skills.

As a seasoned lsp (“老色批” (lǎo sè pī), Wang Haoran itched to give it a try. (tln : its mean lecherous old man)

“System, get ready. When her favorability is at 50, I’ll use the potion and it’ll be a guaranteed success!”

Wang Haoran watched Zhu Nan talk while timing his moment.

Three, two, one!

[Ding, the host successfully used the Pure Desire Potion on target: Zhu Nan! Zhu Nan’s favorability +5! Based on the host’s “Charm: 200” and Zhu Nan’s “Spirit: 190,” an additional +5 favorability points!]

[Zhu Nan’s favorability: 60]

Seeing the favorability finally stabilize, Wang Haoran was satisfied.

The potion has other effects. He wanted to see how Zhu Nan would react.

Wang Haoran curiously watched Zhu Nan’s expression.

But Zhu Nan, after finishing her talk, yawned widely.

“Mr. Wang, that’s all for now. I can’t take it anymore, I stayed up all night and need to sleep!”

“…Is that it?” Wang Haoran looked at Zhu Nan’s still calm expression and couldn’t help but complain.

System, are you exaggerating? Didn’t you say it would make her unable to control her desires? I risked being called an lsp, sneaking around to use it, and it only boosted favorability!

If I’d known it was just this, I wouldn’t have gotten my hopes up!

“What do you mean ‘is that it’? Did you expect me to keep escorting you back to the hotel? No way, I’m exhausted and need to sleep.”

“…That’s not what I meant…”

“Hehe, in that case, I’ll be off!”

“…Alright, goodbye!”

While complaining inwardly, Wang Haoran watched Zhu Nan leave and then drove away from the Zhao family estate.

At another entrance to the parking lot.

Zhu Nan’s bodyguard Qing Yi was waiting.

Seeing her lady approach from afar, she hurried over.

But just as she was about to speak, she saw something unbelievable.

“Miss, you… what…”

Qing Yi was stunned, her hand trembling.

She saw her lady with her head down, biting her lip hard, eyes shy, face flushed, legs tightly clenched, walking in a very peculiar manner.

Seeing this, Qing Yi’s mind could only come up with one possibility—In the hidden confines of the parking lot, inside a car, a man and a woman about to part, longing for each other, exchanged a glance, then…

“Mr. Wang~,” “Old Zhu~”

No, that’s strange. They must have used other nicknames during intimacy, likely—

“Naughty brother~,” “Good sister~”

Then, the car…

Imagining this scene, Qing Yi felt conflicted.

When did these two get together? Doesn’t Miss have health issues?!

And they were only in the car for five or six minutes, yet Miss looks so satisfied!

Shocked, Qing Yi stammered, hoping her lady would explain.

But Zhu Nan had no time for that.

Maintaining her peculiar posture, Zhu Nan hurried back to her room, slamming the door shut, leaving Qing Yi outside.

In the privacy of her room, Zhu Nan swallowed hard, feeling complex as she undressed.

Holding the last piece of clothing, staring at the marks on it, she felt her face burning.

“How could this be…”

Touching it lightly, she murmured to herself.

At this moment, she couldn’t calm down at all.

Knowing Wang Haoran was a Grandmaster at such a young age increased her admiration and favorability, but she hadn’t thought of them in a romantic way!

And though she sometimes considered them together, her health issues quelled such thoughts, planning to work alongside Wang Haoran as allies.

But somehow, in the car, when she noticed Wang Haoran watching her, her heart couldn’t help but flutter, and her body too.

The sudden rain after a long drought, she even thought it was a small leak, so she hurriedly left.

“Did I look strange just now… He won’t find it odd, right…”

Now that it’s calm, though no sun is out, the rain has stopped, and only her damp clothes prove there was a light shower.

Holding the fabric, Zhu Nan felt a sense of unease for the first time.

She knew she had personality issues.

Teaming up with Wang Haoran to scheme gave her an inexplicable thrill and satisfaction, enjoying the fun of mischief… But why would such fun affect her body… Just one look and she was drooling, was she really that hungry…

If she looked a bit more, would she turn into a female rogue, directly attacking…

But Mr. Wang was also weird today, staring at my face for so long. Could it be he couldn’t control himself too… Could we be mutually attracted…

No, no, what if I’m mistaken and scare him away…

Zhu Nan felt both troubled and expectant.

After a while, she put down the fabric, donned her pajamas, and prepared to take a shower.

Opening the door.

Qing Yi, who had been getting anxious as Zhu Nan locked the door, hurried over, unable to help but ask.

“Miss, what happened just now?”

Immersed in her fantasy, Zhu Nan absentmindedly replied.

“Nothing, just a little… I mean, just a little embarrassed… It’s fine now!”

“Qing Yi, you can go. No need to follow me.”

“I’m going to shower and then sleep.”
