Movie variety show soul travels between two worlds to become a rich man

Chapter 487 Big fish bites the hook
The afternoon sun in winter, like melting honey, streamed obliquely through the glass. The entire bedroom was bathed in a fuzzy golden glow, and even the floating dust particles were clearly visible in the golden light.

Gao Dongxu leaned against the headboard, his slender fingers idly twirling the ends of Tang Nannan's hair. Completely naked, wearing only a white silk backless slip dress, she nestled in his arms like a lazy cat, the strap of her dress slipping halfway down, too lazy to even pull it up.

The sunlight relentlessly climbed onto her legs, and under the highlighting light, her skin appeared even whiter and more radiant, light and flawless, with a bright and even complexion and a silky sheen, giving her the appearance of a meticulously sculpted ice doll.

"...I didn't go to work today. Sister Taozi and Xiaowei must have guessed it. They'll definitely laugh at me."

With a rosy blush, Tang Nannan pouted and turned to look at Gao Dongxu, who had been teasing her conscience. Her beautiful eyes were wide open, and her slightly upturned eyelashes made them look both gentle and bright, full of lively spirit.

"Hehe, no way. If they're laughing at you, they're laughing at themselves. It's like the pot calling the kettle black."

"Hmph—you big pervert!" Thinking of Wu Xiaowei, Yang Tao had been ruined by him, Tang Nannan still felt a little jealous and huffed and complained.

Gao Dongxu smiled and pecked her pouting red lips, saying frankly, "On the day of the recruitment, when you appeared in front of me, I had already made up my mind to make you my women. Only I can possess such beautiful women as you, and only I have the ability to protect your beauty."

Tang Nannan's beautiful eyes widened in astonishment as she asked, "You messed with Miaomiao too? When? Before the car accident?"

"After the car accident," Gao Dongxu said with a mischievous grin, raising an eyebrow.

"You beast—she's not even fully recovered, and you..." Tang Nannan suddenly sat up straight, glaring angrily at Gao Dongxu, and questioned him incredulously.

"Hahaha... What are you thinking?" Gao Dongxu laughed, pulling her back into his arms and explaining, "We've just confirmed our relationship. We'll wait until she recovers..."

"Pooh--"

Tang Nannan blushed slightly and spat lightly. Her beautiful eyes flickered, and she looked back at Gao Dongxu, who was smiling, with a complicated expression. She sighed softly, pressed her back against his chest, and said helplessly, "Although I am unwilling, I think that following you is perhaps the best choice for us to change our fate."

"Yes, although I am greedy, don't worry, I will cherish you as I cherish my own eyes, give you the best material life, and let you enjoy the life you yearn for freely and happily according to your own wishes." Gao Dongxu lowered his head and kissed her fair, smooth, and flawless shoulder, speaking softly.

"Really?" Tang Nannan turned around and looked intently at Gao Dongxu before asking.

"of course it's true."

Tang Nannan smiled radiantly, her beautiful eyes, narrowed into crescent moons, sparkling with a strange light. Enduring the burning pain, she turned and wrapped her slender, fair arms around Gao Dongxu's neck, softly saying, "Then I don't want to work at Zhenbaoge anymore. I want to go to Shanghai and focus on writing online novels. If possible, I'd like an apartment overlooking the Huangpu River, and I'd like to bring my grandmother to live with me..."

"You want to go to Shanghai?" Gao Dongxu asked, looking at her beautiful face with some surprise.

“Yes, my grandma is from Shanghai. She was sent to the countryside as an educated youth and married my grandpa… I grew up listening to my grandma tell stories about Shanghai. I want to take my grandma back to Shanghai to spend her old age in peace.” Tang Nannan’s beautiful eyes sparkled with tears, her pearly teeth showing, and the corners of her lips curved into a longing smile.

"Okay, I'll grant your wish." Gao Dongxu smiled as he looked at her beautiful face, which seemed to be favored by the Creator, and readily agreed.

"real?!"

"real."

Tang Nannan slowly brought her beautiful face close to Gao Dongxu's, her alluring eyes fixed on his lips. She parted her pink lips slightly and kissed Gao Dongxu's mouth.

The kiss lasted a long time, so long that when they separated, Tang Nannan seemed to be suffocating, gasping for fresh air, her face flushed, her eyes glazed, as she clung tightly to Gao Dongxu's head, who was nestled in her arms.

There was nothing she could do; she truly had no other choice. She didn't want to cause further injury, so she had to compromise.

Even though her conscience was repeatedly tormented and she was truly in pain, Tang Nannan knew that she could endure hardship, but she absolutely could not let her child suffer.

Panjiayuan, Zhenbaoge.

"welcome--"

Wearing cheongsams that perfectly accentuate her figure and waistline, Yang Tao, with her elegant and graceful demeanor and captivating charm, and Wu Xiaowei, with her stunning beauty, greet the new customers who enter the store with sweet smiles and gentle voices.

With the removal of the Shroud and Easter Eggs from the shelves, the popularity of Zhenbaoge has cooled down, and there are no longer long queues outside the store.

Therefore, the four security guards who used to stand watch at the store entrance were changed to two people per shift, working in 12-hour shifts. The number of people allowed inside the store was also no longer restricted.

"Tap, tap, tap—" Peach, wearing a sleeveless royal blue modified cheongsam, looked at the two young Chinese people following behind her. They were tall and thin with broad frames, but slightly hunched due to old age, like a withered pine tree that had been eroded by time but still stood stubbornly upright. Their spines were slightly bent, and they had to use an ebony cane to walk. Peach couldn't help but frown slightly.

Not only Taozi noticed the unusual nature of the Western old man, but even Wu Xiaowei, who had caused a beauty storm with her stunning looks, warm smile, and graceful figure, attracting many people every day just to catch a glimpse of her, also sensed that the other person was different, especially the way he looked at her.

Sharp as a hawk, exuding an almost cold clarity. His pale, wrinkled face, like parchment repeatedly crumpled and unfolded by time, carried a faint smile, more unsettling than when he wasn't smiling.

Yang Tao and Wu Xiaowei exchanged a glance, their fair and beautiful faces still displaying sweet smiles as they watched the elderly European man with thinning, almost completely white hair, yet still meticulously combed back, wearing a dark suit of fine fabric, slowly strolling through the store, examining the antiques in the display case.

As he walked, the sound of his cane tapping the ground resembled some kind of ancient timer, causing one to unconsciously frown.

"Um?!"

The old Western man's sharp, hawk-like eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at the sandalwood box with its silver rim and gabled top in the display case. His gaze was full of scrutiny and calculation, and a faint, cold smile appeared on his lips, revealing his greed.

“Beautiful lady, may I take a look at this sandalwood box with silver rim and gabled top?” The Western elder turned to look at Yang Tao and Wu Xiaowei, a smile on his face, and spoke in a deep voice with a foreign accent.

"I'm sorry, sir, this sandalwood silver-rimmed gabled treasure box is a high-value item in our store. If you are sure you want to buy it, I need to call the owner so that he can personally serve you..." Yang Tao explained softly with a sweet smile on her fair and beautiful face.

"Is that so?" The old man frowned slightly.

"How can you know if it's real or fake without trying it yourself!" At this moment, the young woman beside the old man frowned, her eyes sharp, and her tone icy as she spoke.

"You can rest assured that everything in our store is genuine," Peach said with a smile.

"Hmph, if you say it's true, then it's true—" the woman scoffed disdainfully.

“Yes, if our boss says it’s true, then it’s true.” At this moment, Wu Xiaowei, with a sweet smile on her face, said softly and neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"You—" The woman was almost furious at the rebuke. Just as she was about to say something, the old Western man turned his head and glanced at her indifferently. She immediately lowered her head, respectfully said sorry, and shut her mouth.

"I'm sorry, we didn't mean to question your store's reputation." The elderly Western man slowly walked to the cashier, and stopped two steps away from Taozi and Wu Xiaowei. He smiled and said, "I've taken a fancy to that sandalwood silver-rimmed gable-topped treasure box and would like to buy it. Could you please help me inform the boss?"

Peach smiled and said, "Sir, I'll contact the boss for you right away, but you may have to wait a little while."

“No problem, I have plenty of patience and time,” the elderly Westerner said with a smile.

“Okay.” Taozi took out her phone and dialed Gao Dongxu’s number while saying to Wu Xiaowei, “Xiaowei, take the three of them upstairs and make some tea for them.”

"Mm." Wu Xiaowei nodded, smiled, and gracefully gestured for the three of them to follow her. "Please come with me—"

"Thank you, thank you for your trouble—" The old Western man smiled and nodded, leaning on his cane, and followed Wu Xiaowei toward the stairwell.

"Oh? And he's an old European or American man? Heh, that's interesting. Okay, I got it, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Dongxu revealed a meaningful smile.

"what happened?"

"Someone wants to buy the sandalwood silver-rimmed gabled treasure box that I just put on the shelf. They're waiting in the shop, and I need to go there." Although Gao Dongxu hadn't let Tang Nannan catch any insects yet, there were priorities, so he went to the shop to make money first. There would be plenty of time for Tang Nannan to practice later.

"Huh? That box priced at 100 million? Someone actually wants it?" Tang Nannan's beautiful eyes widened, and her pretty face turned even redder with excitement.

"Hehe, do you think I'm just randomly setting prices?" Gao Dongxu said mysteriously. "Don't think that one hundred million is a lot. Converted to US dollars, it's less than twenty million US dollars."

"Sigh, well, the world of the rich is something a poor person like me simply doesn't understand," Tang Nannan said with a wry smile, mocking herself.

"Hahaha... Little vixen, you're rich now. As you spend more money, your perspective will gradually broaden." Gao Dongxu chuckled and reached out to pinch her delicate chin, teasing her.
