Chapter 378: A matter of pride

The good she planned to do today was go around to different orphanages making donations in tangible form.

It was not her first time donating to charity or engaging in charitable activities however after the system leveled a new window appeared suddenly called the happiness index.

It was divided into two categories.

Pet happiness: [0/100]

Normal happiness: [0/100]

Pet happiness specifically required her to keep T4 her pet happy now that he could physically come into her world and normal happiness required her to make others who were less fortunate than her happy.

She could understand wanting her to keep her pet happy but making other people happy was quite a baffle to her. Was it something she had to do to cleanse her soul and mind because she felt dirty doing paparazzo work?

Or was she not doing enough charity according to the system’s judgment. She tried to get an answer out of T4 but he said it was not her place to know. So now, she was on her way to make some people happy as the system commanded.

She was with Rize in a very large supermarket and they were shopping for all sorts of supplies. Even her bodyguards, Rize’s bodyguards and Wenli were pushing fully loaded carts.

"Is there going to be a photo op at this thing?" Rize asked her.

"No." Chi Lian responded.

"So you are spending millions as what, chicken soup for the soul?" Rize snickered as if she had just said something so brilliant.

Chi Lian kicked the wheel of a cart that was refusing to move because it was overly packed. She used a little too much force that the wheel broke and the cart became unbalanced.

"You realize that they have attendants who are supposed to do this job, right? Or maybe you just enjoy destroying property."

Chi Lian swept her hair back, looked at Rize and said, "The only assistance you have given me so far is lip service. Your mouth has not stopped moving, it’s working harder than your hands."

Rize looked unhappy as if Chi Lian’s words had offended her. Chi Lian wondered if she should maybe apologize but Rize laughed.

"Are you calling me lazy or talkative?"

"Both." Chi Lian answered.

"I really think you should just call the attendants." Rize said and Chi Lian sighed and she lightly kicked another cart.

After spending two hours with Rize delivering supplies to different orphanages and hospitals close by, they headed to the Chi family home and she told the maids to prepare a guest bedroom for Rize.

Knowing that the guest who was going to stay with them for a few days was the princess, the butler ordered that only new and luxurious items be used.

Chi Lian heard him saying, "We are not losing to the royal palace in any way."

It sounded like this was a matter of pride to him and she wondered if he personally knew any of the royal servants.

There was a knock on her door and Qi Qing entered carrying a tray of warm homemade cinnamon rolls and some almond milk yoghurt.

She almost hugged Qi Qing because she was not just hungry, she was starving.

She opened the doors leading to the balcony of her room. There was a yellow plastic chair and a small table. She sat outside and feasted on the cinnamon rolls while watching a web series which was showing on Phoenix web TV.

It was one of those cliché romcoms where the CEO falls in love with the poor hardworking clumsy girl who has always been beautiful but hid her beauty by wearing drab clothes.

On the second episode, Rize came to her balcony and joined her.

Qi Qing had to bring more snacks for the two women all the while wondering why Chi Lian’s appetite had grown bigger and yet she showed no signs of gaining weight. Where was all the food going?

"Did your children go to school?" Rize asked her at some point.

Chi Lian frowned and her eyebrows furrowed. "Exactly how old do you think my children are?"

"Uhm, three or maybe four."

"Are you sure that you are dating my brother? I know that fifty percent of your conversations must be about his niece and nephew."

Rize replied, "Your brother wants to have a child next year."

"What?" Chi Lian asked in shock. "Does he want to have the child with you or does he just want a child and any woman will do?"

"With me." Rize answered. "If he dared to have a child with any random woman while dating me I would kill him."

Chi Lian chuckled. "Rui is faithful and he has always had a crush on you. He will never be unfaithful to you."

Rize shook her head clearly disagreeing with Chi Lian. "You sisters always have blind spots when it comes to your brothers. Rui used to be a flirt, I looked into it and apparently your brother used to be very popular in his university days.

He wanted to be an actor and he even auditioned once for Glory entertainment."

"Rui auditioned for an entertainment company!!!" Chi Lian was shocked.

"You didn’t know?" Rize was shocked too. "Your family is awfully close so I thought you all knew everything about each other."

Chi Lian wanted to say me too.

"Why didn’t he become an actor then, do you know what happened?" she asked Rize extremely curious to know what happened to Rui’s dream.

Rize shook her head. It was clear that even she had no idea what happened.

"He never told me what happened. When I asked him about it he clammed up and got mad at me for looking into it. He said that if I trust him I have no business digging into his past.

He was so mad at me that he refused to talk to me for two whole days and I had to take a page out of your book and woo him like you did Muyang. Who knew that I the proud Long Rize would one day grovel for a man."

Chi Lian was very shocked to hear all this. Rui who was always calm, understanding, open and ready with a smile at any moment had secrets he hid. What happened in his past that made him give up his dream of becoming an actor?

He was good looking, tall and probably talented. He would have been successful if he went into the business.

"Host, should we look into it?"
