She’s So Sweet

Chapter 1

The transparent glass cup was exquisitely crafted; white flowers that looked like icicles adorned the walls of the cup— it really is pretty. But no matter how beautiful it is, it’s just a cup filled with milk, and the milk would always taste the same despite the attractiveness of the cup.

“Wine, wine, what i want is wine! Not milk!” Xiang Wanwan yelled unhappily with her chubby cheeks bulging. It was pale and soft like a white bun, making people subconsciously want to squeeze it.

Su Qing followed her heart, reaching out to pinch the other’s cheeks, and Wanwan’s protest fell on deaf ears. She said nonchalantly: “There’s only milk here, so deal with it.”

But Xiang Wanwan wasn’t fooled, “This is a bar. How can there only be milk? I want to have that thing you guys drink. It’s called whiskey or something, I don’t want milk.”

After drinking milk for almost twenty years, she swore she could now smell the odor of milk on her body.

“What did you say?” Su Qing asked softly, glancing at her faintly.

“….”

Finally, she shrugged dejectedly and replied: “Nothing.”

Su Qing sat down on the sofa with her legs extended, and a handsome young man handed her the wine.

The diamond ring on her index finger reflected the colourful and bright lights in the room. Su Qing laughed, “So you were saying, during your reunion with your classmates today, who was it…the pretty girl in your class, she mocked you?”

Xiang Wanwan nodded aggrievedly and said softly, “Didn’t she just find a rich boyfriend? What’s so great about that? I don’t have a boyfriend, but it’s only because I’m not looking for one. If I am, I’ll definitely find someone a thousand times, no, a million times better than hers.”

Su Qing took a sip of her wine, “You should’ve told her that just now. What’s the point of b*tching about it to me now?”

“…You know I’m timid. What if she gets mad and tries to beat me up?”

If we were to speak about Xiang Wanwan’s history with this pretty girl, it can be said that they have a long standing hate-hate relationship with each other. The pretty girl had always been arrogant, but who knew that after meeting Xiang Wanwan, her smooth sailing life would be disrupted, and then consequently collapse? In all her three years of highschool, she was unable to lift her head due to Xiang Wanwan.

Looks like even after graduation, she still remembers Xiang Wanwan.

A lady sitting next to them smiled, “Wanwan, back then if you had just revealed your identity as a shareholder of the WK group, nobody would dare to show off in front of you. You can kill them simply with just money.”

Xiang Wanwan gasped, “Why didn’t I think of this?”

Su Qing cut in, “Because you’re dumb.”

This was something only she could say. Nobody else dared to speak up after, because if they were to  agree, news of them calling Xiang Wanwan dumb would have travelled to the Xiang family’s eight prodigies’ ears. Only idiots would do something like that.

Xiang Wanwan pressed her face onto the glass tea table and ranted, “I want a boyfriend too~”

Another lady sitting beside them wearing a Qipao* smiled gently, “What fun is there in getting a boyfriend? You will give him your heart, but he’ll still have an inferiority complex when he’s with you. In my opinion, since you have money, you can just go find any young handsome man and tell him whatever you want him  to do. He definitely won’t dare to disobey.”

*A chinese traditional attire

“That’s true. Isn’t it a trend right now, those cool or cute guys? This might be even more interesting.”

“Eh, I don’t know about the cool ones, but the cute ones are a no for me.” The lady choked out a laugh, “If you are going to find a man, get a strong one, or else he’ll be completely useless in bed. A man should have more muscles at least.”

As those in the room are either rich or influential, every one one of them speaks blatantly, making those who listen undoubtedly embarrassed.

Xiang Wanwan cupped her burning red face, but their words seemed to still worm their way into her mind.

Su Qing knocked on the coffee table, “That’s enough, Wanwan is different from us. She’s an innocent kid, so don’t lead her astray.”

“What do you mean lead astray? A person should live their life comfortably. If you have enough money to make yourself happy, why not spend it?” Someone retaliated, “I’m not patient enough to serve those disgusting men. The dating period is still okay, but after getting married, you have to worry about his family’s feelings and be considerate. Just look at Shuya. Whenever she wants to leave the house, she must report it to the Lu family first. I would never be able to survive that kind of lifestyle.”

She was talking about another lady in their circle—the eldest daughter of the Shu family —Shuya. Wanwan had met her before. She was like a kind and gentle older sister, but unfortunately, she had associated with the wrong people. The last time Wanwan saw her, the energetic and happy woman was so skinny to the point where she was almost skin and bones.

Xiang Wanwan liked how she was— clean,  tidy, and beautiful while always carrying a gentle smile.

It’s unfortunate…

Thinking about Shuya suddenly made Wanwan not want a boyfriend anymore. The thought of it is really too scary.

“Support and raise a boyfriend… that doesn’t sound too bad.”

All the men accompanying the ladies in the room arel young and handsome, but most importantly, they listen well. This is because if any of the ladies are not pleased with their behaviour, money will end their careers.

Whilst lost in thought, Xiang Wanwan grabbed her cup of milk and gulped down a big mouthful. It was just one mouth, but she spat it out immediately, “What is this?”

The cold liquid that poured down her throat into her stomach immediately turned hot and it felt as if her throat was burning. Her face was engulfed in a red smoke, and her pale and soft cheeks reddened.

Su Qing coughed, “You drank my wine.”

Xiang Wanwan took another look and indeed, her pretty cup of milk was left on the table while a wine bottle was in her hands.

“How are you feeling?” Su Qing asked worriedly.

Xiang Wanwan’s eyes turned red, “It’s so spicy…”

Su Qing didn’t know if she should find this amusing, “It’s not juice, so of course it’ll be spicy. Go and rest on that sofa. I’ll come and get you when we are going back later.”

Xiang Wanwan nodded her head, walked over to the sofa and laid down. Her head still seemed to be spinning.

It was the first time she had touched alcohol. The drunk feeling filled her mind and everything became dim and fuzzy. It was as if not just her face was burning up, but her entire body too.

Slowly standing up, she groped her way to the bathroom and turned the door handle. She didn’t know who was in there but the room was locked from the inside.

She pursued her lips in disappointment. Since there was nothing she could do about it, she staggered out to find a public toilet. Just as she turned a corner, she aggressively slammed into a wall.

“…Ouch!”

She held her nose and squatted down. Tears filled her eyes immediately and streamed down her face. Through her tear stained eyes, she saw a dark figure squat down in front of her and asked, “Miss, are you alright?”

Xiang Wanwan lifted her head and blinked away the tears, “It hurts, please help me look… Is my nose bending at some weird angle? Is it ugly?”

She was completely unaware of how defenceless she looked with her chin slightly raised, lips plump and rosy, and her eyelashes fluttering like two small fans. It looked like she was going in for a kiss.

The man looked at her glittering eyes, and as if a feather had rubbed his heart and tickled it, he couldn’t resist the attraction and reached out to touch her. Woah, these eyelashes are really long.

tl/n: who tf touches people’s eyelashes- oh well

Wanwan immediately shut her eyes the moment she felt a touch. Dissatisfied, she complained, “What are you doing?”

“Ahem!” Lu Ziqian coughed. He swore he only did that because he was somehow possessed and under a trance.

Xiang Wanwan asked once more, “You haven’t answered me. Is my nose okay?”

Lu Ziqian carefully looked, “Nope, it looks fine.” He shook his head.

Xiang Wanwan let out a sigh of relief and relaxed her expression, “My nose is the best. My grandpa said it looks like my dad’s—sharp and tall.”

Lu Ziqian reached out his hand and helped her up. Xiang Wanwan staggered up awkwardly and used her drunk dazed eyes to look at the man she bumped into.

Despite the dim lighting of the bar, she could tell that the man before her was handsome. He had a big build, and an extremely chiseled and beautiful face. But even with all that, Xiang Wanwan found herself staring at his collarbones.

He’s so handsome…

Xiang Wanwan couldn’t think properly and immediately reached her hands out to cup his face.

“??”

Lu Ziqian thought he might’ve met a gangster, or a little hooligan who looks like a glutinous rice ball dyed in pink.

But Xiang Wanwan was unaware of his thoughts. Her blurry mind could only remember a few things, “…He must be a cool guy with a lot of muscles…”

The muscles she felt under her hands weren’t those that were hard and uncomfortable to touch. They were like smooth lines filled with a man’s charisma.

Tl/n: y’all have no idea how much i was blushing at her shit.

Xiang Wanwan became extremely happy. She grabbed his hands and yelled, “I’ll be your benefactor! I have a lot, a lot, and a lot of money! Date me!”

“….Ha?”

Lu Ziqian couldn’t believe his ears at that moment. In all the years that he’s lived, he’s had many women pounce on him. So, he’s sure that he has seen all kinds of methods to chase after him, but this is the first time he’s heard someone say that they’ll be his benefactor.

However, Xiang Wanwan’s tone was more of a request, and her voice was soft. Even her cheeks looked like a fluffy cloud, so he couldn’t even try to get mad at the girl. He just found it funny.

“A lot, a lot, and a lot of money… But can anyone have even more money than me?” He muttered to himself.

TL/N:

Basically she’s trying to get him to be her sugar baby, we stan a rich and confident woman.
