With a huff, she turned away, leaving Liu Ergou to stare at the back of her head. Seeing this, Liu Ergou instantly knew something was wrong.

It seems Lu Shuangyue is angry! He'd known her for so long, and this was the first time he'd ever seen her angry!

At that thought, Liu Ergou didn't hesitate. He immediately scooted over to Lu Shuangyue's side and began to comfort her in a soft voice.

"Shuang Yue, don't be angry."

"Orange Bear was just startled. It's normal for her to act that way!"

"Don't worry, I'll draw a clear line with her!"

Hearing his words, Lu Shuangyue simply huffed again without looking at him. This made Liu Ergou's scalp tingle, and he had no idea what to do. After a moment's thought, he decided to change the subject to something more serious.

With a suddenly solemn expression, he said, "Shuang Yue, let's put you being angry aside for a moment. There's something more important!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Shuangyue turned to look at him. His expression was completely serious. She understood at once; he wouldn't look like this unless it was something truly important.

Thinking this, Lu Shuangyue asked, "What's wrong, Er Gou? What's so important?"

Liu Ergou didn't beat around the bush. "I wanted to ask you about our Snow Skin Cream—about getting the approval number and everything that goes with it. How long will you need to take care of it?"

"Also, if we want to mass-produce the Snow Skin Cream, how much capital should we invest? I need a fully automatic production line!"

After hearing Liu Ergou's words, Lu Shuangyue's eyebrows furrowed deeply.

"Hm?"

"Er Gou, what do you mean by asking all this? We only finished making the Snow Skin Cream three days ago, and now you're talking about mass production and a fully automatic production line? Isn't that a bit unrealistic?"

However, Liu Ergou shook his head.

"Shuang Yue, you're wrong about that. How could it be unrealistic? Think about it. Our Snow Skin Cream did Orange Bear a huge favor, and I saved her life! And she brought us to her reception room. Think about it—what do you think is going to happen next?"

Prompted by Liu Ergou, Lu Shuangyue instantly understood. A look of sudden realization dawned on her face.

"Oh! I get it, Er Gou!" Lu Shuangyue said excitedly. "You mean that Orange Bear is about to offer to help us promote the Snow Skin Cream!"

"Exactly!" Liu Ergou replied, giving her an approving look. "You're a quick study."

But before Lu Shuangyue could say anything more, the door to the reception room was pushed open. Orange Bear, now changed into casual clothes, rushed in from outside. Without giving Liu Ergou a chance to speak, she plopped down right next to him. Then, quite naturally, she wrapped her arms around him. The movements were so fluid that they caught Liu Ergou completely off guard.

It wasn't until Lu Shuangyue spoke through gritted teeth that he finally snapped out of it.

"Orange Bear, what on earth are you doing!"

"Could you let go of my boyfriend? If you don't let go of my boyfriend right now, I..."

Before Lu Shuangyue could finish, Orange Bear interrupted her.

"Hey, don't get me wrong! I'm just really scared, I swear! I have absolutely no other intentions. Please, just let me hug your boyfriend for a little while! I swear it'll just be for a little bit!"

As she spoke, Orange Bear put on a pitiful expression again. Only this time, Lu Shuangyue wasn't buying it. She was on the verge of exploding.

Seeing the situation escalating, the now-recovered Liu Ergou quickly intervened. "Alright, alright, both of you, calm down!"

After saying this, he looked at Orange Bear. "Look, Orange, if you called me over here for no other reason, then I'm going to leave. It's getting late, and I need to get back and rest."

With that, Liu Ergou actively freed himself from her grasp and made to leave. Seeing him about to go, Orange Bear panicked.

"Hey, Er Gou, how can you just leave like that! Wait a minute! I really did call you here to discuss something! I was planning to talk about it later, but you're in such a hurry!"

With that, Orange Bear stood up and gently pushed Liu Ergou back onto the couch. Then she revealed her real intention.

"Er Gou, the reason I asked you to stay is simple. I want to ask about your Snow Skin Cream. Do you have any plans to sell it? If so, can you give me the exclusive sales rights? Don't worry, I'll only take a 3% cut from each order of your Snow Skin Cream! You should know that I take at least a 10% commission on other products I promote! How about it? Are you interested in collaborating with me?"

Hearing Orange Bear's proposal, Liu Ergou felt a surge of happiness.

Although the way things happened was a bit strange, the outcome is just what I predicted. Orange Bear is willing to promote the Snow Skin Cream. But there's one catch! The problem is that she wants a cut. Even though it's only 3%, it would still add up to a significant expense over time. And my goal is to not spend a single penny! In short, I want to get something for nothing.

Wait a minute. Actually, maybe it couldn't be called 'something for nothing.' After all, Orange Bear had already received a sample bottle, one of only two in existence.

At this moment, Liu Ergou put on a thoughtful expression. Then he shook his head and rejected her offer.

"Never mind, Orange. I won't trouble you with the Snow Skin Cream."

As soon as he said that, a look of confusion crossed Orange Bear's face.

"Ah? Why?"

"Let me tell you, Er Gou, there's no one better than me to promote the Snow Skin Cream! I've personally experienced its miraculous effects! Plus, I'm a web celebrity with millions of followers. If I promote it, the Snow Skin Cream will be a massive hit!"

However, despite Orange Bear's insistence, Liu Ergou still shook his head and refused.

"I know. But like I said, the Snow Skin Cream doesn't have an approval number yet, so we can't produce it. If we can't produce it, there's nothing to promote."

Upon hearing this, Orange Bear fell silent.

He's right. Without mass production, even if I made the product a viral hit, what's the point if there's no actual merchandise to sell? It would just ruin my reputation. But then again... the Snow Skin Cream is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me. If I let this chance slip by, I'll probably regret it for the rest of my life!
