Chapter 264: Chapter 264

"We’re running out of time this morning. I’ll make it for you after breakfast, so you can eat it around ten." Nanny Zhao cheerfully agreed, "It’s good to have some milk or soy milk in the morning for nutrition."

Rong Qingqing agreed to this and then left the kitchen.

Seeing the dining room empty, Rong Qingqing was momentarily stunned.

Without thinking, her legs quickly carried her to the living room. She looked left and right, then asked Guo Lan, "Auntie, where’s Shen Jue? Isn’t he having breakfast?"

"He’s gone upstairs to freshen up and change," Guo Lan explained. "He’ll be down soon, don’t worry."

Rong Qingqing hurriedly shook her head, "I’m not worried; I’m just curious."

Then Rong Qingqing looked down at her own clothes and only then noticed she wasn’t wearing the white dress from last night. She was now in a loose, comfortable loungewear outfit.

Even her makeup had been completely removed.

Rong Qingqing thought, maybe it was Shen Jue last night who asked a nurse to help her change and also remove her makeup.

Seeing Rong Qingqing standing there lost in thought, Guo Lan simply asked, "Do you want Auntie to go up with you and take a look? Do you want to wash your face too?"

Rong Qingqing nodded quickly, having hesitated just now whether to take the elevator upstairs.

She really didn’t want to take the elevator alone right now.

Having someone accompany her upstairs would be the best.

Shen Jue went back upstairs and took a quick shower. He came out of the bathroom in a wheelchair, having changed into loungewear as well.

"Boss, how about I bring your breakfast up here so you can eat and then rest and take a nap?" Lin Bufan suggested with some concern, "Sitting for such a long time, you might cramp up."

"Miss Qingqing is at home, with Madam and Nanny Zhao accompanying her, it should be fine." Lin Bufan thought to himself, Miss Qingqing slept through the night, but his boss hadn’t slept at all.

Although Shen Jue exercises every day, many issues left by his physical disability can’t be completely resolved just with more exercise.

"No need." Shen Jue tossed the towel he used to dry his hair to Lin Bufan and then left the room.

Passing by Rong Qingqing’s room, he heard her speaking inside, so he pushed open the ajar door and went in.

"Ah Jue is here," Guo Lan said, turning her head slightly before speaking to Rong Qingqing.

Rong Qingqing peeked her head out of the bathroom, her gaze meeting with Shen Jue’s as he walked in.

Her eyes curved as she smiled.

"Give me two seconds!" Rong Qingqing said, emulsifying the cream in her hand before quickly applying it to her face.

As she patted the cream on, she walked out of the bathroom, "I’m done! I’m ready! Let’s go downstairs and have breakfast!"

"What’s the rush? I’m not going anywhere, take your time," Shen Jue chuckled.

After they sat down at the dining table, Rong Qingqing suddenly remembered something.

"Shen Jue, good morning! I almost forgot to say good morning to you!"

Shen Jue placed a pan-fried dumpling in Rong Qingqing’s bowl, nodding, "Good morning."

"Daily morning task completed, life time extended by 5 hours! Remaining life time: 251 hours."

Rong Qingqing nearly spat out her mouthful of milk.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Did something happen last night?

How did her life time increase so much after just one night’s sleep?

It suddenly increased by over a hundred hours.

"System, are you malfunctioning?" Rong Qingqing asked in her heart.

"Rest assured, host; this system does not malfunction."

"Then why did it suddenly increase by over a hundred hours last night? What’s going on?"

"Because the host completed two other hidden tasks."

"What were the two hidden tasks?" Rong Qingqing was shocked. She had fallen completely asleep last night and knew nothing. Fınd the newest release on Novᴇl_Fire(.)net

What on earth happened last night that made her an overnight ’billionaire’?

"Due to system rules, I cannot say," the system responded indifferently. "If the host completes them again, there will still be rewards."

"Just like with the previous hidden task, the reward for a second completion is half of that for the first?" Rong Qingqing scoffed.

System rules are as numerous as the hairs on an ox.

Last time, it was whether there would be a second completion reward.

This time, it’s even more extreme, directly unable to say what the two hidden tasks completed last night were.
