81. A Spontaneous Trip
“When will I get the next magic book?”
“Depends on your performance.” Lin Wu Ju stood with his hands behind his back.
“Why?” Wen Han frowned. “I need more magic to fight against the Light Magic Society.”
Lin Wu Ju sighed deeply. “I can’t help you either.”
“…What do you mean?”
“The Shadow Library can only be accessed temporarily with the permission of the prince or the Demon King.” Lin Wu Ju smiled. “So, there’s nothing I can do.”
“…Ugh, how boring!”
Wen Han rolled her eyes and suddenly vanished into the chaos.
Lin Wu Ju was already used to her sudden disappearances, so he remained calm.
Only when he sat down did he frown.
“Why does she have so many questions today?”
He turned his eyes, suddenly remembering her first question.
“Oh?”
His pupils focused sharply.
…
Night.
Under the streetlights, Wen Han wore a simple light blue chiffon dress.
She leaned silently against the lamppost, like the only sprite in the darkness.
Creak!
A car stopped abruptly in front of her, pulling Wen Han out of her thoughts about Lin Gui.
“Brother Zhou.” She instantly changed her expression and got into the passenger seat.
“Did I keep you waiting long?” Zhou Bin started the car. “You looked bored by yourself.”
“It’s fine!” Wen Han shook her head. “Where are we going?”
…
Elegant music blended with the air, and under dim lights, everyone seemed to exude a romantic aura.
Seeing Wen Han preoccupied across from him, Zhou Bin cleared his throat. “What are you thinking about?”
“Oh, about traveling to the Casino City.”
“Casino City?” Zhou Bin’s eyes lit up. “Traveling? Why?”
“Mm-hm, I’ve been feeling down lately and want some time to relax.”
“Are you worried about something?” Zhou Bin switched to a caring mode.
Wen Han gave a bitter smile. “Nothing much, it’s just my mom…”
“Is it because of me?”
Wen Han lowered her head in silence, tacitly agreeing.
Zhou Bin sucked in a breath. “Then let’s not talk about sad things… How about we go together?”
Traveling together could turn this into a romantic getaway, and they would naturally be staying together.
Zhou Bin sneered inwardly. He understood the game well.
It wasn’t about confirming a relationship before sleeping together; perhaps it was the other way around.
And… a single mother who’s a nag? Does she really think I Zhou Bin likes her that much?
As a mature man, he admitted openly that he desired Wen Han’s body.
Such a graceful figure… missing out on it would be a great regret!
“I’ll accompany you,” he suddenly raised his eyes with deep emotion.
“I…” Wen Han hesitated. “It might not be convenient.”
“…Alright, I respect your choice. Don’t worry about taking a break.” Zhou Bin raised his glass generously, knowing that pressing further would be counterproductive. “Wish you a pleasant trip.”
…
The decision to travel was made spontaneously, but Wen Han had long wanted a break.
After all, over these four years, she had been busy taking care of the child and working tirelessly. Now that she had money, she could finally indulge herself.
Besides, her purpose wasn’t just for fun…
Recycling Station 777.
“Casino City?” Lin Wu Ju looked up from his seated position. “Why suddenly want to play? Don’t forget you still have a mission.”
“For the mission.” Wen Han shrugged. “Casino City isn’t far from Star River City, so it should be convenient to go from Star River City to Casino City, right?”
“…Oh?” Lin Wu Ju paused for a second, then instantly understood and narrowed his eyes. “You’re thinking…”
“Figure it out yourself.”
Wen Han left behind an alluring smile and vanished into the chaos.
…
In her past life, she had been a model student for thirty years, never traveling except for work and school. She spent most of her time at home.
In this life, she had been busy taking care of Little Yuan for four years, and with her busy work schedule, traveling was impossible.
Going to the Casino City was her first trip, and it was a solo journey.
Spontaneous trips didn’t require planning. Wen Han prepared everything that day and flew to the Casino City the next day.
Originally, she wanted to bring her mother and daughter, but since this wasn’t a real vacation, she had to leave her child with her mother under the pretense of a business trip.
Boom—!
An airplane roared overhead.
Wen Han looked up briefly, then quickly pulled down her sunglasses and grabbed her luggage, rushing into the airport.
…
“Wow…”
Inside the most popular tourist spot in the Casino City, Wen Han took off her sunglasses and gazed at the bustling crowd and the new buildings, unable to suppress her sigh.
After thirty-four years of being cooped up, she could finally let loose!
“Boss, ice cream!”
She held a pink ice cream cone.
The summer sun shone brightly outside the railing.
Wen Han stood by the railing, looking around while licking the round thing slowly, even diving into its depths to feel the cool sensation.
“Hello, miss.” A voice suddenly appeared in her ear. “Are you here to visit the Casino City too?”
Wen Han casually turned around and saw a well-dressed man appear beside her.
“I’m from Fish City, where are you from?” The man rested one hand on the railing, showing off his charm.
Wen Han was unmoved. “Star River City.”
“Star River City? That’s close.” The man smiled slightly. “Can I get your contact information?”
“…Sure.” Wen Han turned her eyes, suddenly smiling. “But you have to help me with something.”
“Help?”
“Yes.” Wen Han took out her phone and handed it to him. “Find a photo for me.”
The man looked at the phone, then at Wen Han, who confidently posed in front of him.
He laughed and immediately started taking pictures.
Minutes later, the man scratched his head and walked over. “Let me see, I might not have taken it well, so I took many shots.”
Wen Han silently took it, opened the album, and found at least twenty photos.
Some were good, some bad, and a few even included his fingers holding the phone.
“Didn’t notice earlier.” The man awkwardly smiled.
Wen Han grinned. “It’s okay, thank you, little brother.”
“What about the contact information?”
“Sorry, I’m married!” Wen Han stuck out her tongue. “I’m sorry for using you earlier, I believe you wouldn’t hold it against such a cute girl like me, right?!”
Under the bewildered gaze of the man, Wen Han wrapped a light scarf around her neck, put on her sunglasses, and seamlessly merged into the crowd.
