Heartthrob, Your Image is Crumbling!

Chapter 520: Clinging to a Sugar Daddy

Listening to them had given Minmin dark circles under her eyes. She wondered curiously, didn't Zhou Yuwen ever sleep?By the time Minmin woke up, the two of them were already eating breakfast over there.

Minmin felt a bit ashamed and said, "Ah, I originally promised to make breakfast for you guys."

"I did not expect you to wake up so early."

Qu Jing did not give Minmin a pleasant look. "If we waited for you to make breakfast, would we even get to eat?" she asked coldly.

Tao Tian signaled for Qu Jing to say less, then smiled and told Minmin that it did not matter.

"I woke up early today, Minmin, so I cooked some porridge. You can serve yourself a bowl later. Also, when Zhou Yuwen wakes up, remember to heat up the food for him. Qu Jing and I are heading to work."

"Okay, I can do that!" Minmin quickly declared.

Qu Jing glanced at Minmin's outfit and suddenly threw out a sarcastic remark. "That outfit is perfectly fine, do not go changing into a camisole again."

Those words immediately made Minmin lose face, her expression faltering.

Qu Jing, however, just giggled.

Tao Tian truly did not know what to do with Qu Jing.

After tidying up briefly, the two women headed out.

Both of them were considered high-level executives at Zhou Yuwen's company, so their attire was naturally superior to that of ordinary workers. Tao Tian had a great figure, but going to work was not a fashion show, so she typically wore a fully buttoned-up suit nowadays.

Yet, even wearing a suit could not hide her graceful curves. Instead, it highlighted a unique charm. For instance, in her simple black-and-white ensemble, her white shirt was stretched taut, threatening to burst, paired with a black suit jacket and black trousers. Tao Tian had a naturally sensual figure, so the trousers clung tightly to her curves, creating a perfectly alluring sensual appeal.

As for Qu Jing, she dressed in a slightly cooler, more aloof style, wearing a skirt suit with black stockings and high heels.

The two of them walked out, each carrying a designer handbag, discussing which car they should drive.

Watching them from behind, Minmin was truly filled with envy. She did not quite understand it. They had all come from the same dormitory, yet in just half a year, they had ended up in completely different circumstances.

To be honest, Minmin admitted that Tao Tian was better looking than both her and Qu Jing, but when it came to brains, Minmin really did not think they were any smarter than she was.

It was simply because they had managed to latch onto Zhou Yuwen as their powerful backer.

'If they can do it, why can't I?' she thought.

Minmin secretly swore to herself that she definitely could!

Wasn't Zhou Yuwen still in the room?

Even though Qu Jing had just mocked her, Minmin felt that Qu Jing had probably used some underhanded methods to get Zhou Yuwen herself. If so, why couldn't she do the same?

Without another thought, she returned to her room to carefully apply makeup and change her clothes.

Honestly speaking, Minmin was not ugly at all. She changed into a cropped small T-shirt, then slipped on a grey pleated skirt, showing off her pair of beautiful legs.

Not only that, but she also put on a pair of black thigh-high stockings. Such an outfit could be considered an absolute weapon for captivating men.

She refused to believe that Zhou Yuwen could fall for Qu Jing but not be interested in her.

Once everything was ready, Minmin waited in the living room for Zhou Yuwen to come out.

At around ten o'clock, there was finally some movement at the bedroom door.

Minmin was gazing longingly, eagerly anticipating his appearance.

She quickly stood up.

Shortly after, Zhou Yuwen walked out fully dressed.

Minmin immediately hurried over. "Zhou Yuwen, you are awake?"

Zhou Yuwen was a bit startled when he saw Minmin's outfit. Who dressed like that just lounging at home? "Are you heading out?" he asked.

"Ah?" That question stumped Minmin, but she quickly blushed and told a lie. "Yes, I have an interview in a little while."

"Oh."

Zhou Yuwen looked her outfit up and down. It did look quite nice.

"Zhou Yuwen, do you want some honey water? Drinking a cup of honey water in the morning is good for your throat," Minmin said, quickly picking up the honey water.

By doing this, she was actually trying to hint to Zhou Yuwen that she was the one who had made the honey water yesterday.

Qu Jing could not brew something that tasted like this.

Zhou Yuwen looked at the honey water in her hand. He was actually well aware of what was going on, so he simply hummed in acknowledgment, took the glass, and took a sip.

Minmin waited with eager expectation for Zhou Yuwen to say something.

However, after finishing the water, Zhou Yuwen simply handed the empty glass back to Minmin and asked indifferently as he walked toward the dining room, "Is there anything else to eat?"

"Ah, yes."

Minmin had been waiting for Zhou Yuwen to ask, 'Huh, why does this honey water taste just like the one from yesterday?'

Then Minmin would be able to pour her heart out and explain how Qu Jing had stolen the credit from her the day before.

Unfortunately, Zhou Yuwen did not give her the chance to speak at all.

Feeling helpless, she obediently went to serve Zhou Yuwen a bowl of porridge.

But she still found it strange. 'Could Zhou Yuwen really not taste that today's honey water was exactly the same as yesterday's?'

When she brought the food over to Zhou Yuwen, Minmin could not resist asking, "Zhou... Yuwen, was the honey water good?"

"It was average,"

Zhou Yuwen replied plainly.

This left Minmin momentarily stunned. 'Didn't he say it was delicious yesterday?' she thought.

Zhou Yuwen could actually see right through her ulterior motives, but unfortunately for her, it had nothing to do with him. He just casually chatted with Minmin for a bit.

Then he made a phone call to Liu Shuo to ask if he was awake yet.

"You are still not up? Are you a pig?"

"No, bro, I was playing video games last night. I didn't go to sleep until after four!"

"Who didn't go to sleep at four? Do you know what time it is?"

"Bro, you were playing games too?"

Zhou Yuwen rolled his eyes upon hearing this and told him to get ready so he could drop him off at the company later.

On the other end of the line, the bleary-eyed Liu Shuo wiped his face.

He gave a grunt of agreement.

Hanging up the phone, Zhou Yuwen noticed Minmin still looking at him, hesitating to speak.

Zhou Yuwen asked Minmin if she had anything else to say.

Minmin opened her mouth, but ultimately felt that specifically bringing the matter up would make her seem extremely stingy.

All she could say was, "No, nothing."

Zhou Yuwen hummed in acknowledgment.

He waited at home for a while longer. During this time, Minmin kept hovering around Zhou Yuwen, displaying her so-called false enthusiasm.

She was even hoping to use her body to draw Zhou Yuwen's attention.

For instance, while Zhou Yuwen was eating breakfast, Minmin was wiping the table nearby.

When she leaned over, a gap opened up in her round-collar shirt, clearly revealing a dazzling flash of soft, white skin.

Good heavens.

Minmin Xuejie was really going all out; she was not even wearing underwear.

Unfortunately for her, Zhou Yuwen just swept a glance over her and then went to the living room to watch TV.

Minmin was still not discouraged.

She followed Zhou Yuwen and started wiping the floor, purposefully keeping her back to him while he watched TV on the sofa.

She knelt on all fours in front of the TV cabinet, scrubbing the floor.

The pleated skirt she wore was pitifully short to begin with.

By kneeling like that, it was safe to say that from the sofa, Zhou Yuwen had an unobstructed view of everything, fully exposed in broad daylight.

Thankfully, Zhou Yuwen had just frolicked with two beautiful women the night before, so his willpower was currently rock solid. Seeing those two long legs offering themselves right to his doorstep...

Zhou Yuwen felt that it was nothing out of the ordinary.

He simply took one look and turned his head away.

Minmin scrubbed the floor in front of him for quite a while until she eventually grew a bit disheartened. She thought, 'Zhou Yuwen could fall for Qu Jing, so why won't he even look twice at me?'

'Is Qu Jing's charm really that much greater than mine?'

She sneaked a peek at Zhou Yuwen sitting on the sofa.

Only to find him calmly watching TV, turning a completely blind eye to her.

Minmin felt a strong urge to just throw herself at him.

So, she got up from the floor and proactively walked over to sit right in front of him.

She sat very close to Zhou Yuwen.

Zhou Yuwen asked her what was wrong.

"Zhou—"

Minmin started with his surname, but immediately felt her tone was off. She deliberately softened her voice to a sweeter pitch, a faint blush creeping onto her cheeks. "Zhou Yuwen, you are my employer now. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for me to keep calling you by your name?"

Zhou Yuwen replied that it didn't matter. "You can call me whatever you want."

"That won't do, there must be rules. I noticed that Sweetie and Jingjing don't use your full name anymore."

Zhou Yuwen remained silent.

Minmin thought for a moment, then reached out and hugged Zhou Yuwen's arm, pressing even closer to him. Her pair of beautiful legs, wrapped in black thigh-high stockings, also proactively pressed against him.

Minmin's legs were indeed beautiful, especially with the enhancement of the pleated skirt and thigh-high stockings. The area just below the pleated skirt, known as the 'absolute territory', kept rubbing against Zhou Yuwen's leg.

In a soft, delicate voice, she asked, "How about this... I will just call you Boss. Is that okay?"

Zhou Yuwen replied, "Call me whatever you want."

Seeing Zhou Yuwen agree, Minmin was even happier. She felt as if she were already halfway to her own rebirth into a new life.

Without even thinking, she tried to rest her head on him.

Who would have thought that at this exact moment, Zhou Yuwen's phone would suddenly ring.

Zhou Yuwen immediately stood up to answer it. It was a call from Liu Shuo.

Liu Shuo told Zhou Yuwen that he had already arrived downstairs.

Zhou Yuwen said that was fine.

"I will head down right now."

After saying that, Zhou Yuwen hung up the phone.

Following that, Zhou Yuwen turned around and prepared to leave.

Minmin's dopamine was pumping, yet Zhou Yuwen was actually leaving.

Minmin immediately grew anxious and quickly asked pitifully, "Are you leaving?"

Zhou Yuwen said, "Yeah, I still have a lot of things to take care of."

Minmin, currently sitting on the sofa, looked at Zhou Yuwen pitifully. "Could you not go?"

Zhou Yuwen glanced at Minmin.

Without saying a word, he simply grabbed a jacket and left.

She wasn't anyone special to him, so Zhou Yuwen naturally would not care about her feelings.

Truth be told, Minmin's current position in Zhou Yuwen's household was truly nothing more than a little nanny.

This little nanny was quite attractive and was actively trying to throw herself at him.

Zhou Yuwen certainly wouldn't actively reject her.

Of course, that was all there was to it.

Even as Zhou Yuwen headed out the door, Minmin got up from the sofa and escorted him all the way to the entrance, feeling completely lost and disappointed.

She felt like she had been so close to succeeding!

At the very least, Zhou Yuwen hadn't objected.

'Sigh, I really should have been bolder!' she thought.

'Next time. The next time Zhou Yuwen comes over, I will definitely succeed.'

Unfortunately for her, she never got a next time.

She had originally thought Zhou Yuwen would come back in the evening. Because of this, she was very active for once, buying chicken and meat in the afternoon, planning to show off her cooking skills for Zhou Yuwen.

Didn't someone once say that the way to a man's heart was through his stomach?

As a result, when it was time to get off work in the evening, the room door opened.

Minmin was filled with joy, assuming Zhou Yuwen had returned, but to her surprise, it was Tao Tian and Qu Jing who walked in.

Tao Tian immediately said as she entered, "It smells wonderful. Looks like we are having a big meal today."

"Heh, it seems you are quite a competent nanny," Qu Jing continued with her sarcastic remarks.

Seeing only the two of them, Minmin could not help but feel disappointed. "Huh, is it just you two?"

Tao Tian had not quite caught the implication yet, but Qu Jing understood immediately. She let out a cold laugh and asked, "What, besides us, who else were you expecting?"

Minmin instantly fell silent.

Even when it was time for dinner that evening, Minmin was still waiting for Zhou Yuwen to show up. She even could not resist asking Tao Tian and Qu Jing, who had already started eating, "Shouldn't we wait for Zhou Yuwen?"

By this point, Tao Tian had also figured out what Minmin was thinking. She smiled a bit helplessly and said, "Zhou Yuwen does not come here every day, Minmin."

"Then when will he come over?" Minmin quickly asked.

Qu Jing felt that Minmin was truly acting like a clown right now, so she replied, "Who knows? We are not his main residence. At best, this is just the Palace of Accumulated Elegance. If Zhou Yuwen drops by once every ten days or half a month, it is already considered bestowing his favor upon us. What did you think?"

"Ten days or half a month?" Hearing this, Minmin immediately felt terrible.

She thought to herself, 'Doesn't that mean I won't see Zhou Yuwen for another ten days or a couple of weeks?'

Looking at Minmin's expression, Qu Jing knew exactly what was on her mind. She could not help but tap Tao Tian gently with her foot under the table, signaling her to look at Minmin.

Minmin, on the other hand, felt extremely helpless.

Over the next few days, Minmin continued to slack off at Tao Tian's place. Originally, she had assumed Zhou Yuwen could drop by at any moment, which made her much more proactive and active when it came to chores.

Yet, a whole week passed without her even catching a glimpse of Zhou Yuwen's shadow.

Every time the door made a sound, Minmin thought Zhou Yuwen had arrived.

But when the door opened, it was always either Tao Tian or Qu Jing.

As time passed, Minmin grew thoroughly disappointed.

She even stopped taking her chores seriously.
