《Spending The Villain's Money To Extend My Life -CHEAT SYSTEM- (1) (1 - 199)》Chp 10:Fill Up Her Closet (4)
Advertisement
At this moment in time, inside the dimly-lit study.
Huo Sishen was sitting on the couch, expressionlessly, while looking at the projection screen in front of him. Raising his brows, he asked, “You didn’t prepare any clothing for her?”
She was his current fiancée. As a formality, she should have anything that other women have as well.
Siyi’s had an odd look on his face, “Young Master, we have been buying clothes based on Gu Wushuang’s sizes, but….”
Nobody expected that the Gu’s would suddenly gained a real daughter and they swapped the fiancée in the last minute.
“We haven’t had the chance to swap them out yet. We thought she’d have some of her own clothes when she came.”
“But, she didn’t,” said Huo Sishen as he pointed at the screen.
The girl seated properly at the dinner table, both of her arms resting on the table holding onto the fork and the knife. Any slight movement and one could see how the fabric was stretched, showing her curvy figure.
The color and the style of the dress were all outdated.
She was sent over here before she even has some clothes that fit her!
And, look at the way she was wolfing down the food. She had asked for two additional plates of salmon, as though she had been hungry for a long time.
Huo Sishen couldn’t help but frown.
Even when he was forced to live in a more remote house back in the days, he still brought with him a closet full of clothing. And the servants brought over meals every day.
It was just that as each year went by, they started diminishing. Until finally, he was completely forgotten.
Crossing his legs, it seemed as though his entire good look was hidden in the dark.

From the video, the girl’s crisp voice rang again. “I don’t know of any Zhang-ma or Li-ma but I am staying here! Everybody wanted to get rid of me but he was the only one to have a place for me to stay, and let me eat as much as I want for three meals a day.”
Huo Sishen narrowed his eyes.
That summer, he remembered clearly. His old dog was the only one willing to stay by his side other than the old butler.
“Now that we are engaged, then he is my responsibility. I am not leaving unless he tells me in person that we are over.”
The girl in the video has red lips and white teeth. She bit off another half a salmon eggroll after she finished talking.
Huo Sishen’s frown deepened.
The old butler died shortly after that. And, he had to bury the old dog the next spring.
Everyone that cared about him at some point were all gone…..
“Xiao Shen, it’s not that grandma doesn’t want you anymore. We are just asking you to stay in the other house for the time being. There’s just so much going on in the house right now that we aren’t able to take care of you as well……”
“Every time your mom sees you, she has nightmares. Xiao Shen, please just stay in that house and don’t come out. Okay? Please, I beg of you. Otherwise, your mom won’t be able to live.”
“The Huo’s are not giving up on you, it’s all temporary. After we have everything straightened out, we will take you back……”
His long and slender fingers gripped the ceramic cup tightly, his knuckles crackling.
Looking at the image on the screen, his eyes were dark like a deep ocean.
Finally, his thin lips moved, “You have one hour. Fill her closet.”
Siyi, who had been enjoying the show with his boss, paused.
Eh, whatever happened to sending her away?

What if a work of fiction wasn't fiction at all? What if we only thought it was fiction because it was written down, and we were separated from it by the page?

She likes the idea of waking up in the middle of her favourite book with the handsome, brooding Mr Thornton glaring at people in his mill yard, but she doesn't worry about the foul air of dirty, smoky Milton, because it's not real, and it was written over 160 years ago.But then she takes a trip to Oxford, and gets waylaid along the way, finding herself greeted at a smoky train station, by a man called Mr Hale, who claims to be her godfather. When Isabel meets Margaret and first sees Mr Thornton, she's determined to help the course of love run a little more smoothly for the two stubborn lovers. But Gaskell hadn't accounted for a second young lady in the Crampton house, and whilst Isabel tries to adapt to a life where women have no independence or equality, Milton must adapt to her. The question is, will Mr Thornton adapt to her, or Margaret, first?
