Chapter 104

Chapter 1: Do You Admit Your Guilt? I Admit You’re a Fool!

104. Promotion

First of all, a boyfriend isn’t the same as a husband.

Breaking up is just breaking up; there’s no need to deal with divorce certificates. It’s like being available on demand—if you don’t need them, just kick them away.

When the time is right, I can just say we’ve broken up—it’s not that hard, is it?

This isn’t the feudal era; breaking up and getting back together is normal, and my mom wouldn’t find it strange.

But during this “dating” period, at least I can enjoy some peace and quiet without being scolded by her every day.

Being scolded too much makes you stupid!!!

Besides that, there’s Su Zeheng.

Pretending to be a couple allows him to step into my pink trap repeatedly. Wen Han is incredibly confident that he will definitely fall in love with her.

Or maybe, Su Zeheng already has a bit of attraction towards me; he just needs that final push.

At that point…

The virtuous gentleman of the Light Magic Society falls for the witch at the Recycling Station… Heh heh heh! Uncle must be in for a lot of pain, right?

Thinking of this, Wen Han’s smile grew even more radiant.

“……” Upon seeing her smile, Su Zeheng felt a sense of unease rising within him.

He didn’t know how he had agreed to this in the first place.

Should he regret it? But he had already agreed. He couldn’t back down now, could he?

Pretending to be this little witch’s boyfriend?

At that moment, Su Zeheng suddenly felt a strange sensation, as if his heart was racing again, a sense of breathlessness washing over him.

“In a few days, my mom is coming to check out the new house,” Wen Han snapped back to attention, “Uncle, please make sure to play the role of a good boyfriend.”

“A good boyfriend…?” Su Zeheng pondered.

What exactly qualifies as a good boyfriend?

He fell into deep thought.

……

The next day, Recycling Station 777.

Woosh—

As the chaos parted, Wen Han, dressed in traditional Hanfu, strolled leisurely into the Recycling Station.

She held a paper umbrella, flaunting her figure: “Little Lin, do I look good?”

“Good looking,” Lin Wu Ju smiled as he stood up, “Why are you dressed like this today?”

“There’s a Hanfu cultural festival later, and since I’m free anyway, I accepted Lin Na’s invitation.”

Lin Wu Ju looked the little witch up and down, and after a moment, nodded, “Very beautiful.”

“Are you moved?” Wen Han put down the paper umbrella, “Do you like it?”

“I like every member of the Recycling Station.”

“That’s not the kind of like I’m looking for.” Wen Han frowned.

In that instant, another devilish little thought popped into her mind.

She immediately smiled, “Little Lin, I have a favor to ask, will you help?”

“Oh? What could possibly trouble you?” Lin Wu Ju chuckled, “What is it?”

“Pretend to be my boyfriend!” Wen Han’s eyes sparkled.

Lin Wu Ju hesitated for a moment, looking confused, “Boyfriend? Why?”

He stared blankly at Wen Han, frowning in surprise.

“Ah! It’s because my mom…”

Wen Han recounted how her mother was forcing her into blind dates.

After a while, Lin Wu Ju finally relaxed his brow, “Oh… I see.”

“So will you help or not?”

“…… Since you’ve asked, I won’t refuse.” Lin Wu Ju placed his hands behind his back, “After all, I need you to stay focused and not be distracted by other matters so you can work hard.”

“Such a wicked capitalist!” Wen Han rolled her eyes, then smiled, “Alright, it’s settled then— from now on, you’re my fake boyfriend!”

“…… Okay.” Lin Wu Ju grinned, “Now it’s my turn to speak, right?”

Wen Han tilted her head, “Huh?”

“The performance this month is one soul. According to the rules, the station master needs to report to His Highness.” Lin Wu Ju waved his arm, and a ledger suddenly appeared, “However… this time you must go with me.”

“…… Why?”

“His Highness wants to see you.”

The Recycling Station suddenly fell into silence.

Wen Han’s smile froze, ultimately turning into a look of suspicion.

“…… What does he want to see me for?” She squinted her eyes.

Lin Wu Ju shook his head, “I don’t know.”

“Is he going to punish me?”

“I don’t know.”

“How does he know of my existence?”

“I don’t know.”

“Do you realize you sound like a fool?”

“……” Lin Wu Ju fell silent, looked up, and sighed, “Don’t defy orders; that’s the best advice I can give you.”

“…… Fine!” Taking a deep breath, Wen Han lifted her chin. “Now?”

“Yes.”

Lin Wu Ju turned away, waving his arm.

“Follow me.”

……

Smack—!

The moment they stepped into the chaos, everything before them instantly turned pitch black.

Wen Han immediately looked up and found herself in an endless dark world.

It was like the pictures of the universe she had seen in textbooks, but even darker and more oppressive.

She couldn’t help but scan the surroundings and noticed Lin Wu Ju half-kneeling on the ground.

“Your Highness.”

“You’re here?” A laugh echoed from the darkness, “Oh? This woman is Wen Han?”

Wen Han looked around the pitch black, her gaze sharpening: “You are His Highness?”

“Yes.” A buzzing voice resonated from the darkness, “Indeed, a born witch; I like you.”

“Honored,” Wen Han replied coldly with a smirk, “I don’t know why His Highness wishes to see me?”

“Did you and Lin Wu Ju not have an agreement?”

“Agreement?”

“Agreement?”

In this moment, both Wen Han and Lin Wu Ju raised their heads in bewilderment.

They exchanged blank stares, shaking their heads in confusion.

“Your Highness.” Lin Wu Ju rose, “What agreement?”

“Isn’t she… wanting to be the master of the Recycling Station?” The voice in the darkness laughed, “You also agreed on exchanging identities when the opportunity arose. Since that’s the case… Lin Wu Ju, from now on, you will be the assistant, and Wen Han will become the station master. The identity swap will last until the next performance report.”

“What?!” Lin Wu Ju’s brow furrowed, “Your Highness, this… Wen Han isn’t familiar with the business; I fear she will ruin your grand plans!”

“Hahahahaha.” His Highness kept laughing, “Are you questioning me?”

“Not daring!”

“Well, then?” Suddenly an eye appeared in the darkness, looking at Wen Han, “You are now the station master of the Recycling Station; come and report to me.”

“……Yes.”

Wen Han was at a loss regarding His Highness’s intentions.

She didn’t understand what he wanted to do or if this was merely the twisted humor of someone in a high position.

She took Lin Wu Ju’s ledger, flipped through a few pages, and then looked toward the darkness: “The plan for this month is two souls, but one has been rescued by the Light Magic Society, and the other was successfully recaptured a few days ago.”

“Too slow.” The eye blinked, “Recycling Station 777 has been established for almost a year, yet the performance has never satisfied me.”

“I’m sorry, Your Highness!” Lin Wu Ju quickly knelt, “I will definitely speed up and recover more souls!”

“You are now the assistant.” The eye turned toward him, “Without the station master’s permission, you have no right to speak.”

“I…” Lin Wu Ju was stunned, and his lips twitched a few times.

Seeing him at a loss for words, Wen Han couldn’t help but chuckle, quickly glancing and noticing the eye was now looking at her.
