Chapter 25: Daily Tasks

Rong Qingqing did exactly as she said, closed the door, and leisurely washed up and put on makeup. She rummaged through her suitcase repeatedly but couldn’t find a single dress she liked. The dresses in the suitcase were mostly very plain, which was the original style of the suitcase owner, simple and neat. After much deliberation, Rong Qingqing couldn’t find anything she was satisfied with, so she reluctantly settled for one and put it on. She secretly planned that she must go shopping today to replace everything in the suitcase as soon as possible. By the time Rong Qingqing finished breakfast and carried her suitcase to the hotel entrance, it had been an hour and a half since Seventh Uncle had been waiting. Despite this, Seventh Uncle didn’t dare to utter a single complaint. He cheerfully invited Rong Qingqing into the car. Seventh Uncle had arrived at the hotel at half past six, and Rong Qingqing didn’t return to Shen Manor until half past nine. In the meantime, Seventh Uncle had also taken Rong Qingqing to a place she had specified to buy some daily necessities. The car drove into Shen Manor and stopped at the villa entrance. As Rong Qingqing got out of the car, someone immediately came over to carry her suitcase for her. Entering, Rong Qingqing immediately saw Mr. Shen and Guo Lan talking in the living room. Hearing the noise, both turned their heads to look towards the door. "Qingqing is back." Mr. Shen was the first to greet Rong Qingqing, nodding, "It’s good that you’re back, it’s good. I already had a good talk with Shen Jue about the inconvenience caused to you last night." Guo Lan, sitting nearby, seemed hesitant to speak, but ultimately said nothing. Mr. Shen hadn’t seen Shen Jue face-to-face this morning, so where could he have spoken to him? These were just polite words. As the hostess, Guo Lan also felt that Shen Jue throwing a guest, especially a girl, out in the middle of the night was indeed excessive. But if you looked into the reasons, wasn’t it also excessive for Rong Qingqing to wake Shen Jue in the middle of the night? As a mother, Guo Lan knew that Shen Jue hadn’t been sleeping well lately, so she held some resentment towards Rong Qingqing’s actions. However, since Shen Jue had already gone as far as throwing someone out in the middle of the night, it wouldn’t be right for Guo Lan to further criticize Rong Qingqing over this incident. "It’s alright, Grandpa Shen, I didn’t feel upset." Rong Qingqing smiled with a carefree shake of her head. This demeanor, however, appeared to the elder as forced cheerfulness from Rong Qingqing. "Seventh Uncle went to pick you up early in the morning, waking you too early, didn’t he? Good child, go back to your room and rest." Mr. Shen spoke kindly to Rong Qingqing, while calling Nanny Zhao to help take Rong Qingqing’s suitcase back to the room she had stayed in last night. Rong Qingqing nodded, "Grandpa Shen, Aunt, I’ll go back to my room and rest for a while then." Guo Lan stood there, glanced at Rong Qingqing, and finally responded with an ’alright,’ then watched as Nanny Zhao led Rong Qingqing into the elevator. As the elevator doors closed, the voice of the System echoed in Rong Qingqing’s mind. "Initiate daily task: Every morning, greet Shen Jue with a good morning and receive a response to add 5 hours to your life span. Every night, say goodnight to Shen Jue and receive a response to add 5 hours to your life span." "Host, you can start doing these tasks from this morning. As long as you complete these two daily tasks, you can add at least 10 hours to your life each day." "The rules for the daily tasks are: the morning greeting task can be done after daybreak until 10 AM, and the night farewell task from 9:30 PM until before daybreak." Rong Qingqing loved such daily tasks! "Friendly reminder: There are less than twenty minutes left to complete this morning’s greeting task."
