Chapter 33
Her Crying Stirred Up A Tightness In His Chest
Mao Ruimin was dumbfounded when she heard the reply.
As for the matchmaker Aunt Liu, she could not help but let out a chuckle.
Hearing her chuckle, Mao Ruimin’s cheeks immediately turned a flaming red, then green with a shade of white, but her face was mostly taken up by a blank expression of bewilderment.
“Some, something must have gone wrong! Could it be that someone stole my daughter’s phone and made up a reply to prank me!?”
“This is definitely not my daughter!”

In the Luo family’s manor.
After taking a nice, relaxing bath, Xia Bohe was drying her hair when she remembered that she had not completed her daily task received in school.
[Beautiful women who constantly strive for improvement are even more attractive. Please complete the process of washing your clothes by yourself once.]
[Reward: 300 Goddess Points.]
Xia Bohe did not have to think to know that normal wealthy wives did not need to do their laundry themselves, but she did not see it as a burden at all.
To her, this task seemed easy and natural.
Her hospital gown costume was stained with her period blood, and it would be embarrassing if she were to let someone else wash it.
She walked to the bathroom countertop situated beneath a wall-sized vanity mirror and turned on the automatic faucet, soaking the bloodstained spot on the hospital gown. She then pumped out some Armani hand soap from the dispenser beside her and rubbed it into the gown.
While pumping the soap, she inhaled its classy orchid fragrance which caused her heart to expand.
Did anybody ever use Armani to wash off period blood?
She felt like she was floating.
However, she really could not find a single bottle of laundry detergent in the bathroom.
Her ego inflated, Xia Bohe was even more vigorous with her rubbing, and with a flick, a speck of orchid-scented foam splashed tragically onto the corner of her eye.
She subconsciously rubbed the spot and her eyes immediately reddened.
She lifted her head and looked into the mirror. She had not performed a skill exchange yet, but she was currently already a real-life endearingly pitiful beauty!
The original host’s dainty oval-shaped face was complemented with her translucent snow-like skin which had a faint pink tinge. She looked completely flawless as if she had on a natural toning cream.
Moreover, her soft pink cherry lips and straight delicate nose further brought out the radiance in her bright almond-shaped eyes. At the moment they were slightly red, which made her look as adorable as a small animal.
Xia Bohe admired her reflection for a while until she heard her phone vibrate by the sink. She quickly turned on the screen and tapped on the unread message.
The original host’s mother’s enraged and resentful scolding voice immediately rang out overwhelmingly, echoing throughout the empty bathroom.
“Xia Bohe, I only asked you for 80,000 Yuan! I gave birth to you and almost died raising you, but I ended up raising a white-eyed wolf!? You think you’re all grown up now and can ignore my words. Just look at yourself in the mirror, who did you inherit your looks from! Would you be who you are today without me? You won’t even be able to set foot in an art school, not to mention becoming a celebrity and filming commercials!” (TN: The expression 白眼狼 (bái yǎn láng) which literally translates to “white-eyed wolf” is used to describe someone who is cold-hearted and ungrateful.)
“You’d better transfer that 80,000 over in three days, otherwise I won’t call you my daughter anymore! Don’t ever think of setting foot in our house, you white-eyed wolf!”
The loudness of her voice startled Xia Bohe.
Even Luo Tianlin, who had just finished a meeting and walked into the bedroom, could hear everything clearly through the bathroom door.
He furrowed his brow and looked toward the glass door.
Drawing back his gaze, he was about to sit down, but he raised his eyes again and looked frowningly at the bathroom door which was slightly ajar.
After thinking for a while, he finally got up and walked toward the bathroom.
Through the crack, he saw the girl’s eyes that were as red as a rabbit’s and her eyelashes that seemed to be wet with water drops. She was secretly wiping the glistening corners of her eyes.
Standing in front of the spotless mirror, she now seemed like a pitiful and homeless abandoned child.
Luo Tianlin narrowed his dark eyes and stopped abruptly in his tracks.
There was an inexplicable tightness in his chest.
