The puppy-like man’s face was also burning red. Under the smiley face above his head, a small number 2 appeared.

Zhou Miao used the same method and tried on the hamster hat and rabbit headband, and got 8 smiley faces.

[Hamster, I want to exchange them for Good Luck Points.]

[Okay, okay. Do you want to exchange it for 8 Good Luck Points?] The hamster said obsequiously.

[No need. I’ll exchange it for 6. I’ll use the remainder for the next side quest.]

The hamster was silent for a moment, then said with a frown. [Master, you haven’t found the token for the next mission, and the number of smiley faces you need for the next one isn’t 2… but 6…]

[Huh?]

Zhou Miao took out the hamster toy from the shopping bag and gave it a punch.

[Master, the number of smiley faces required for future missions will only increase. It might even… increase exponentially…]

It was an exponential increase. This time, it was 6. Could it be 36 next time? This hamster was really a profiteer.

[So, Master, please reconsider how much you want to exchange.]

[2…] She gritted her teeth. The side quest was more important to her. In order to save Cheng Heng, it didn’t matter if her appearance recovered a little slower.

After sending out the two smiley faces, Zhou Miao looked at her own reflection on the phone screen. It was still that same haggard and rough face.

What had changed exactly?

When they got home, Mother Cheng was instructing the domestic helpers to prepare dinner. Tonight’s dishes were more sumptuous than usual.

“Do we have guests today, Mother?”

“Today is Friday. Little Tai and Yingying aren’t busy and don’t need to work overtime. My younger sister’s family is here too. We can all have dinner together.”

Seeing Zhou Miao’s shopping bags of various sizes, Mother Cheng was a little puzzled. “Did you go shopping?”

“Yes, I bought some daily necessities for myself and some… toys for Little Heng.”

Zhou Miao felt a little guilty. At that time, in order to make Cheng Heng happy, she had bought all those headbands and whatnots. She didn’t know if Mother Cheng would tick her off.

Mother Cheng didn’t reprimand her. She only sighed softly and brought Zhou Miao to the bedroom, handing her a bank card.

“This is a supplementary card to Cheng Heng’s card. If you need anything, don’t use your own money. Just use the money in this card.” She then took out a mythical winged-lion bangle made of rose quartz crystal.

The clarity and color of the crystal were top grade. The rose quartz crystal had a faint purple tinge to it. This item looked like it was worth a fortune.

“This was supposed to be given to you when you two got married, but…” Mother Cheng didn’t know how to broach the subject.

“I know, Mother. It’s fine. I will take good care of Cheng Heng. I was not sensible in the past.” Zhou Miao looked at Mother Cheng and said, “But these…”

“Just take it.”

Seeing the look in Mother Cheng’s eyes, Zhou Miao couldn’t bear to see her like this, so she put the things away in her pocket.

The family dinner that night was very peaceful.

As Zhou Miao and Cheng Heng’s relationship had improved these days, Mother Cheng was very happy. She also greeted everyone at the dinner table in a good mood.

“Mom’s in a good mood today.” Cheng Tai looked at Mother Cheng with a smile. “It seems that my brother has been recovering well recently.”

“You’re very sensible too. I’ve heard about the company’s performance these days from your father. The new product that you and Yingying developed is selling very well. Your father and I don’t have to worry so much with you two around.” Mother Cheng said as she looked at her sensible eldest son.

Only Zhou Miao was muttering in her heart. This Cheng Tai was such a sanctimonious person. Now he seemed to care so much about his younger brother, but when he was young, he had caused Cheng Heng a lot of harm. He also appeared to be a very shrewd and scheming person.

“Sister-in-law, it’s been hard on you having to take care of Little Heng. Let me offer you a toast.”

When she was toasted out of the blue, Zhou Miao raised her glass in a nonchalant gesture, but she was still a little doubtful.

After the meal, everyone left and and carried on with their own life. Zhou Miao strolled around the mansion, wanting to see what kind of layout the Cheng family’s residence had.

Walking to the end of the corridor on the top floor, Zhou Miao saw a door that seemed to lead to the attic above.

“Sister-in-law.”

It was Cheng Tai.

“Why are you strolling around here?”

She adjusted her expression and looked at Cheng Tai.

“I’m just taking a walk. I haven’t had a good look around this house.”

“Sister-in-law, it seems you weren’t familiar with the family previously. But now that you’re willing to take care of my brother the idiot, I’m very pleased. I thought you’d leave this place.”

This sentence sounded like a compliment, but it also had a strange undertone.

“It’s my duty, and Cheng Heng is no idiot either. It’s not very nice for a Big Brother to say this about his own Little Brother, is it?”
