Helping Him

System 66: "Perhaps you caught his attention at the seaside, after all, your supporting role setting is the one most resembling the female lead. So, I'd say you are so lucky."

Ah, I see… "To be honest, I'm very grateful to you," Hang Panxia smiled and said, "You made all her work go to waste, and thanks to you, I landed a good endorsement deal."

"You're welcome," Jiang Nuannuan nodded.

"But I also want to remind you," Hang Panxia handed her a bottle of water and whispered, "People here say that Young Master Gu prefers elegant and gentle cheongsam beauties, and his girlfriends change weekly."

"Is that so?" Jiang Nuannuan held the water bottle, completely unaware of the motorcycle team passing by after completing their first lap.

Gu Shizhou could see her from the car, but her little face didn't turn towards the track at all.

She was engrossed in a lively conversation with someone throughout the race.

Hang Panxia kindly advised, "Don't get too close to him, be careful of getting hurt."

"I've just been hurt by a scumbag, so I'm not interested in dating right now," Jiang Nuannuan accepted her well-intentioned advice.

During their conversation, a low-profile luxury car parked near the finish line. A girl wearing sunglasses got out of the car, with curly waves and fiery red lips, possessing a seductive figure. Hang Panxia straightened her body, "It's Lu Ling."

Jiang Nuannuan asked, "Who?" She felt a bit embarrassed and said, "She's a rising star recently, an artist from All Stars Entertainment. She's Young Master Gu's ex-girlfriend. Bai Liang said they just broke up."

Jiang Nuannuan nodded, thinking that it was probably a one-sided breakup.

No surprise, Gu Shizhou was the first to rush to the finish line, and the young woman wearing sunglasses picked up a bottle of water and walked over.

Seeing Lu Ling, he impatiently asked Bai Liang, who had just arrived behind her, "Who leaked the information?"

The latter innocently shrugged, "It wasn't me, but isn't it easy for Lu Ling to bribe your little assistant?"

"Tsk."

Gu Shizhou took off his helmet and noticed that Jiang Nuannuan, who was standing in the crowd, was still whispering to the girl beside her, showing no interest in their victory or defeat.

Annoyed, he asked, "What's going on? Why is she so engrossed in conversation with the girl you brought?"

Bai Liang raised his hand, and Hang Panxia immediately interrupted the conversation with Jiang Nuannuan, picking up a bottle of water, "The race is over, shall we go together?"

"No need, I don't need to go," she shook her head, opened the water bottle, and took a sip. All the cars that came down had someone delivering water and warmth.

Gu Shizhou watched Jiang Nuannuan open the bottle cap and drink water, a smirk forming on his lips.

Lu Ling took off her sunglasses and handed him a bottle of water, "How long are you going to avoid me?" His thin lips pressed together, impatiently avoiding her and walking straight towards Jiang Nuannuan.

Seeing him approach, Jiang Nuannuan looked around and noticed that the box for water was empty, and the only remaining bottle was the one she had taken a sip from. Before she could say anything snarky,

Gu Shizhou's vision was met with a pure white hand offering him an opened bottle of mineral water. "I only took a sip. If you don't want it, you can take hers," Jiang Nuannuan quickly explained, her pale pink lips still glistening with the afterglow of drinking water.

He stood firm, "Did you do it on purpose?" Jiang Nuannuan glanced at Lu Ling, who was walking towards them, and honestly shook her head, "Do you want to get rid of her? I can help you, just consider it as payment for the extra 50,000."

Gu Shizhou glanced at her for a few seconds, a slight smile forming at the corner of his lips. He took her water bottle and pulled her into his embrace, tilting his head back to drink from the bottle.

His Adam's apple bobbed up and down as the transparent liquid slipped from the corner of his lips, trickling down and dampening his collar.

This scene exuded an indescribable sensuality on Gu Shizhou, dressed in a motorcycle jacket. His disheveled black hair shimmered under the warm-colored streetlights, captivating the gaze of many.

Jiang Nuannuan remained emotionally indifferent, feeling somewhat uncomfortable with his hand resting on her waist.

Lu Ling, unable to contain her anger, rushed over and interrogated, "So, you were with her all this time? For a girl who can't even be considered a prominent figure in high society, you abandoned me and hid from me for so long?!"

"Wasn't the breakup fee I gave you enough?" Gu Shizhou leaned half of his body onto Jiang Nuannuan, his hand holding the mostly empty water bottle, making his intentions quite clear.

"I don't agree to break up!" Lu Ling exclaimed in frustration. "Don't you know how notorious Jiang Nuannuan is? She's been played by countless men and even involved in scandals. Yet, you're interested in such a worthless person?!"

Personal attacks like these were unacceptable to Jiang Nuannuan.

She retaliated by wrapping her arm around Gu Shizhou's waist, displaying an intimate gesture. "Miss Lu, you should be aware that making baseless accusations can lead to legal consequences. Since Shizhou has chosen to be with me, he naturally knows whether or not I've been involved in any scandals or if I'm clean."

"Miss Jiang is indeed clean," he turned his head slightly and planted a kiss on her hair.

"Gu Shizhou! I've loved you for so long, and now you're betraying me, aren't you?" Lu Ling covered her chest, her eyes turning red. "You said you loved my eyes and face the most, and yet you treat me like this."

The man raised the hand holding the bottle and gestured, "Seven days, loved for seven days. You received a luxury brand endorsement and 500,000 in cash. Not a bad deal."

Jiang Nuannuan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Her laughter infected those around her, and they all joined in.

"Miss Lu Ling, as a celebrity, you should know how to protect your reputation. Today, there are all sorts of people at the race. What if someone leaks that you obtained the endorsement and money by seducing Gu Shizhou? How would you handle that?"

People had already started raising their phones, and Lu Ling, being impulsive due to her youth, stomped her high heels on the ground.

"You are so heartless."

She ran away in tears, and Jiang Nuannuan began pushing the person hanging on her shoulder. His chin was pressing against her bone, causing some discomfort.

"Alright, Young Master Gu, my job is done. It's time for you to pay me."

Gu Shizhou straightened his posture, looking down at her. "How do you know I win? You don't even watch the race."

She took a step back, leaving his embrace, and extended her hand, assuming a posture of asking for money. "I don't need to watch to know that you would win."

He chuckled lightly. "You have so much confidence in me."

You're the male lead, after all. If you don't win, who will?

Jiang Nuannuan smiled as well. "I believe in your abilities."

Her smile revealed two shallow dimples, softening her delicate features and making her appear gentle and sweet.

Gu Shizhou suddenly felt a tingling sensation. "I'll take you home and give you your reward."

Jiang Nuannuan pursed her lips. "Alright."

The descent down the mountain was not fast, and the evening breeze carried a hint of chill. She tightened her grip on his arm.

"Why did you work for my brother?"

His voice drifted to her ears on the wind.

"Money," Jiang Nuannuan raised her voice, trying to make sure he could hear her clearly. "But not in the way you imagine. Mr. Gu is known for being aloof, and I have no idea why he suddenly reached out to me and offered me a job."
