Chapter 1

After my family went bankrupt, I started delivering food to make ends meet. I never expected to run into my lifelong rival while delivering to his house. To embarrass me, he said, "Kiss me, and I'll give you 100,000 yuan."

Without hesitation, I grabbed his collar and kissed him hard. "How could you change like this for money?" he blushed, covering his mouth as if he were a vulnerable spouse. I pushed him down and kissed him again before leaving with the check he'd signed, leaving him stunned on the couch with a red face and clear teeth marks.

Walking through the familiar villa area in my delivery uniform, I was filled with a mix of emotions. I knew this place so well I could find the door to 65-3 with my eyes closed, but now there was a big foreclosure notice on it. I glanced at it silently, then turned to the neighboring villa, took a deep breath, and rang the doorbell.

“Hello, your delivery is here.” I used the professional tone I had practiced over the past few days. “Oh, Adeline, how did the Lin family's eldest daughter end up doing this?” The person who opened the door was my childhood rival, Finn, whom I had bullied since we were kids.

“Well, Finn, the eldest son of the Aiden family, why do you have to pick up your delivery yourself?” I regretted taking this order just for the high delivery fee. I snatched it up when I saw the 200 yuan fee, but only realized afterward that it was in the suburbs, dozens of kilometers from the city, where I used to live. I even had to change my electric scooter's battery on the way here.

“Hmph, even now you're down and out, your mouth is still so sharp.” I didn’t want to engage with him, so I dropped off his expensive custom-made suit and turned to mark the delivery as complete. “Did I say you could leave? Did I confirm I received everything correctly? You know this is expensive, right? If anything happens to it, you couldn't afford to compensate even if you delivered for a year. Aren’t you afraid I’ll complain about you?”

Finn grabbed my hand, unwilling to let me go easily. “Mr. Aiden, your items have been delivered. Is there anything else? If not, could you please give a five-star rating? Thank you.” “A five-star rating? Does your attitude deserve a five-star rating?”

“Sir, it’s fine if you don’t rate me well. Just please let go so I can make my next delivery. I'm running late.” Finn held my arm tightly, and I couldn’t break free. Reluctantly, I softened my tone, eager to escape. After all, I’d already wasted a lot of time on his delivery today. “And if I don’t let go?” Finn tightened his grip, glaring at me.

I sighed and asked patiently, “What will it take for you to let me go?” “How about this: if you’re so short on money, kiss me, and I’ll give you 100,000 yuan.” He smiled smugly, expecting his words to provoke me. Unfortunately for him, he was wrong.

I grabbed his collar with my free hand, pulled him close, and kissed him hard, even biting him in retaliation. His expression changed from superiority to panic. “How could you change like this for money?” His face turned beet red as he covered his mouth, looking vulnerable.

I ignored his question, knocked him to the ground, and kissed him all over, satisfied as I got up. “That's 10 kisses, 1 million yuan. Will you pay by transfer or check?” I shamelessly asked for my money. Finn, doubting his life choices, mechanically took out his checkbook. I filled in the amount, had him sign it, and left with the check, leaving him disheveled on the couch.

I shook my sweat-soaked hair, put on my helmet, mounted my electric scooter, and continued taking orders. After all, 1 million yuan wasn’t nearly enough.
