"If the two photos are priced the same, I would be worried that you, Yuan Hua, have ulterior motives. Thank you for taking care of me."

"You're welcome."

Yuan Hua's lips curled up slightly...

That's exactly the effect I want: to win you over while making you feel like I'm a good person, so much so that you'd be counting the money for me even if I sold you out.

"If you want to earn more, how about we shoot some tokusatsu photos? Same rules as before, no face showing."

Yuan Hua picked up his camera and waved it in front of the tulips.

"..."

Chapter 20: The Rich Man's Gift = Poison for the Poor

"Shall we take a picture?"

Yuan Hua looked at the tulips with a smile, not in a hurry at all.

"Anyway... there's nothing else going on... I'm not in a hurry to go back..."

The tulips seemed a little hesitant...

"How about we take a few pictures?"

"Come with me."

Yuan Hua plunged headfirst into the bushes.

……

“Sit there.”

Yuan Hua pointed to the spot under the big tree.

"and then?"

After Tulip sat down properly, she brushed her bangs aside.

Yuan Hua reached out and unbuttoned Tulip's shirt, then squatted down, took off Tulip's right shoe, and crossed his legs.

"Take the buns."

"it is good……"

Tulip, trembling, cradled the two large meat buns in her hands, instinctively pinching the folds between her thumb and forefinger...

……

"Get up."

Yuan Hua waved to Tulip, who was lying on the ground with disheveled clothes.

"The photos have been taken."

"Okay, I'll get up now."

Tulip breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the photoshoot was over; she was finally free.

"Ten cards in total, I'll give you two gold coins."

Yuan Hua stuffed the gold coin into Tulip's hand.

"Eat more nutritious food. Now that you have money, don't mistreat yourself, understand?"

"As a model, you must never lose your figure."

"I understand. I will make sure I eat well and exercise more."

Tulip suddenly felt like she was being educated by a teacher at school.

"Come with me."

……

"Sit on the sofa and play for a while, I'll go cook."

Yuan Hua took the apron off the coat hook and went into the kitchen.

"Yuan Hua, do you need any help?"

Tulip curiously peeked her head into the kitchen.

"No need, it will be quick."

Yuan Hua was quite confident in his cooking skills; with a casual flick of his wrist, he drew his cleaver.

Tulip was speechless at the dazzling knife skills...

……

"Yuan Hua, this is delicious!"

Tulip's eyes lit up, and she clumsily used chopsticks to put the food into her mouth.

"It tastes much better than my mom's cooking."

"Auntie will be sad if she finds out."

Yuan Hua secretly slipped the small, fun-filled balls from the darkroom into the drink.

"Here, have a drink to cleanse your palate."

"The food from the Eastern countries is fragrant, but it may be too oily for you, after all, our eating habits are different."

"Waaah—If I weren't already engaged, I would definitely marry you..."

Tulip was so full of oil that his mouth was dripping with it, and he could barely speak clearly.

"If you weren't engaged, I wouldn't have been able to contact you."

Yuan Hua's mind was a jumbled mess...

"Silly girl, getting engaged doesn't stop you from coming over for meals, because we're friends."

You consider me a friend?

Tulip stopped eating...

"Aren't we in a superior-subordinate relationship...?"

“Outside of work hours, we are no longer in an employer-employee relationship. Everyone is equal, so why can’t we be friends?”

Yuan Hua placed the drink in front of Tulip.

"Drink up, look how impatient you are, wipe the rice off your mouth first."

"Thank you so much!"

……

"The drug's effects should be kicking in soon."

Yuan Hua estimated the time, got up and went into the bedroom, and took out a jade bracelet from the drawer.

Why are you preparing this?

Feisheng sat on Yuan Hua's shoulder and peeked out.

"The medication is taking effect now, and she's feeling dizzy. If I were to sit next to her out of the blue, do you think she might suddenly suspect that I have ulterior motives?"

Yuan Hua's forte is psychology; that's what you call a cultured psychologist.

"If I take advantage of her being infatuated and sit next to her under the pretense of giving her a gift, would she still suspect anything?"

"Impressive, impressive. It would be such a waste not to execute you."

Ascension was truly astonishing...

……

"tulip."

Yuan Hua sat down next to Tulip.

"Hold out your hand, I have a gift for you."

"what gift?"

Tulip wiped her mouth, and for some reason, she felt her body starting to feel inexplicably hot.

But considering that Yuan Hua was ultimately her boss, she obediently handed her hand to him.

"Don't girls all like jewelry and things like that? Here, I hope you like this."

Yuan Hua slipped the jade bracelet onto Tulip's wrist, then turned it upside down to examine it.

"Yes, it suits you well."

"Isn't it too expensive? If it's too expensive, I can't accept it."

Tulip raised her wrist and examined it carefully. The quality of the bracelet was excellent; it was clearly not a cheap item.

"This is an employee benefit, please accept it."

Yuan Hua pulled out a tissue and wiped his mouth.

"Once something is given away, there's no reason to take it back. Dress yourself up nicely; what girl doesn't like to look pretty?"

Yuan Hua reached out and pinched the rice grains off Tulip's face.

"you are so kind to me."

Tulip, unaware of what was happening to her, couldn't help but hug it.

"Hmm? Hmph..."

Feeling the warmth in his arms, Yuan Hua hugged her a little tighter from behind.

The plan was unexpectedly successful; the tulips followed his script perfectly.

If we continue to erode Tulip's mental defenses with money over the next few days, raising her level of depravity, then getting to first base can be put on the agenda.
