Chapter 5: So Silly—What Did You Grow Up Eating?
Su Keke’s comprehension was perfectly fine. The “he” the man mentioned clearly referred to the client.
So she grinned and raised one finger.
Her palm was still a bit chubby; just looking at it made one feel it would be nice to hold and squeeze.
“One million! The client said this mission was rather tricky—one wrong step and you could end up dead. But since I’m a newbie, he only paid a two-hundred-thousand deposit.”
Qin Mochen: Heh. One wrong step and you die? Am I really that terrifying?
“Just for that one million, you sold your first time?” Qin Mochen looked at her. When his brows knit, he looked extremely serious, an invisible but powerful aura radiating from him that made people afraid to meet his gaze.
Su Keke, however, blinked and met his eyes without any pressure at all, pouting slightly.
“I think it’s a lot. After all, I’m a beginner—my skills can’t compare to veterans. Once I’m more experienced and become a famous master in the field, it won’t be this price if you want me to take action, hehe.”
Qin Mochen lowered his gaze. He truly had no idea what this girl had grown up eating—she could talk about such things so calmly, feeling no shame at all, even taking pride in it.
It was… truly refreshing in a bizarre way.
Once Su Keke started talking about her profession, she clearly turned into a chatterbox.
“…Our line of work isn’t considered respectable in many people’s eyes, so everyone keeps a low profile. Although we earn a lot of money and don’t even have to pay taxes, the risks are also high. Every time Master and I earn money, we donate half of it. Master says it’s to accumulate merit.”
Qin Mochen let out a silent scoff. This girl’s definition of her profession was oddly precise.
The cigarette in his hand had burned out. Qin Mochen stubbed it out in the ashtray and looked at her, his gaze flickering slightly.
A full five minutes passed before he spoke again.
“Stop doing this. I’ll send you to school. If you don’t want to study, I can also find you a proper job.”
Su Keke froze, her eyes widening slightly.
“Uncle, you’re really a good person.”
Then she curved her lips into a smile and gently declined.
“Thank you for your kindness, Uncle, but I really do like my profession.”
Qin Mochen was already somewhat displeased. Why was this little girl so ungrateful?
“Don’t you want to be like kids your age—go to high school, go to college? At school, you can meet lots of friends, and your horizons will broaden.”
Hearing this, Su Keke hesitated.
In truth, she had already learned most of what she needed to. Going to school now would be possible.
“Uncle, can you really meet lots of friends at school?” Su Keke fiddled with her fingers and asked shyly.
Qin Mochen raised an eyebrow slightly.
“Of course.”
After thinking it over seriously, Su Keke said excitedly,
“Then I’ll go back and tell Master—I’ll go to school during the day and take jobs at night!”
Qin Mochen: …
“If you really want to take jobs, then from now on, just take mine alone.” After saying this, Qin Mochen himself froze for a moment.
Su Keke looked at him suspiciously.
“Uncle, do you really have that many problems to solve?”
“I don’t need you to do anything. I’ll still pay you. One month,” Qin Mochen said, his brow twitching again.
He had actually done the same thing as those scumbags in his circle—kept a woman. And not just any woman, but such a young little girl.
One month. He’d try his best to correct her way of thinking. If it didn’t work, and she still wanted to ruin herself afterward, he wouldn’t bother meddling anymore.
“That won’t do, Uncle. I can’t take money without doing anything. If I accept your money without working, it’ll shorten my lifespan.”
When Su Keke said this, she looked adorably earnest and innocent.
Qin Mochen stared at her with a stiff expression.
What exactly did this girl grow up eating?
How could she be so… foolish?
What Qin Mochen didn’t know was that there was a term for this—
Natural airhead.
“Do you really have to do that kind of thing?” the man suddenly asked.
