I Promise to Fulfill Your Request

There was a sense of being stared down by a rabid dog.

Xu Mo froze for a moment, his eyes moving instinctively.

They collided with Lin Fan's murderous gaze.

Xu Mo's mind went blank.

[Damn! I wondered how that idiot Shen Manni dared to come alone. Turns out she brought backup! As expected of the female lead, she's truly joined at the hip with the protagonist, inseparable.]

[Like a fish can't leave water, or a bird can't leave the sky]

"Ding! Congratulations host, you've gained 23,333 in cash"

Shen Manni's already unpleasant expression darkened further.

What nonsense about birds and fish!

Shen Manni wanted to dig into Xu Mo's brain and examine it closely.

To see which part had malfunctioned.

Causing Xu Mo to think she and Lin Fan were joined at the hip!

"Your company is quite skilled, getting wind of the news and immediately transferring all Hongtu Shares to my Shen family yesterday!" Shen Manni said coldly, arms crossed.

Xu Mo's mouth twitched slightly.

[What's with that accusatory attitude? The one who sold Hongtu Shares to you was that female devil, not me. If you've got the guts, go confront her!]

[Besides, is the business world only allowed to make money for your Shen family and no one else?]

Xu Mo was exasperated, but still had to put on his usual sycophantic act.

"Manni, let me explain. It's not what you think. I only found out about this this morning. Who knew that woman Zhou Qiaoqiao would transfer Hongtu Shares to you? I was completely in the dark about this from start to finish!"

"If I had known earlier, I would have transferred it to someone else, not to you."

[I'll come clean, I actually did know, but I really didn't expect that female devil to move so quickly, and target you]

[I actually wanted to follow the plot! I didn't want the female devil to do that!]

[Sigh... The first scene of the protagonist Lin Fan screwing over the villain is gone. Frustrating. To be honest, under Lin Fan's malicious and cautious scheming, it should have been my Xu family taking the hit, but unexpectedly it fell on your Shen family instead]

[What do you call this? Lifting a rock only to drop it on your own foot? Damn, bro, could you aim better next time? But Shen Manni's stupid expression is so amusing! Look at her mouth slightly open, face wearing a somewhat surprised look]

[Damn! Something's not right again! I'm warning you, don't be moved by my deeply devoted words!]

Xu Mo wanted to cry.

Shen Manni couldn't believe it. Was all of this planned by Lin Fan beside her?

It had been a setup from the very beginning!

No wonder sometimes when getting off work, Lin Fan would see her and mutter cryptically, saying things like "Don't ever buy Hongtu Shares" and "I don't have faith in Hongtu Real Estate."

Shen Manni had dismissed it, thinking what would a mere security guard know.

Whenever she thought this, Lin Fan would unconsciously flash a wicked smile.

Good grief, all of these were time bombs planted by Lin Fan from the start!

Shen Manni's gaze towards Lin Fan became even more disgusted.

Lin Fan's face turned black. What the hell was going on?

Could this woman have fallen for the playboy in front of her?

The more Lin Fan thought about it, the more likely it seemed, so he said sarcastically:

"Why say such nice things? If you really like Ms. Shen, why don't you buy back the Hongtu Shares she's holding?"

Shen Manni blinked her almond eyes in confusion.

This move had never occurred to her.

She came today just to clarify the situation.

She never thought about using Xu Mo's love for her to transfer the Hongtu Shares back.

Besides, that love was fake!

Even an idiot wouldn't do something like that, so how could Xu Mo?

Sorry, but Xu Mo really wouldn't.

[Are you an idiot? Before Hongtu's mess was exposed, I could play along with your act, but now that everything's out in the open, you still want me to buy? My character is a sycophant, not a complete fool. Have you been abroad too long? Did a donkey kick your head? Trying to use that simplistic Western approach to relationships here? Want to make it in China with that? Look up the Greenland incident.]

[By the way, your Dragon King Hall has quite a bit of funds too. You like this stupid woman so much, right? Why don't you use Dragon King Hall's budget, make it public?]

[Huh? Damn! Isn't this the perfect opportunity for the protagonist and female lead to show off and slap some faces?]

Xu Mo's eyes lit up. Although the plot was a bastard and didn't let things go smoothly for him,

Xu Mo could help create a scenario for the protagonist to slap some faces.

Xu Mo spread his hands and said magnanimously: "Sure!"

Just as Lin Fan's face lit up with joy,

Xu Mo continued: "As long as Manni kisses me in public, lips to lips, and accepts my marriage proposal, I'm willing to help her settle Hongtu's mess!"

Provocation, blatant provocation!

Even as a sycophantic villain,

One had to show some backbone occasionally.

If you want to eat meat, you must have some guts.

The Xu Mo in the book might be a sycophant, but he wasn't a complete idiot.

Over a trillion in liquid assets was no small sum!

This money was equivalent to the annual GDP of some developing countries.

For underdeveloped countries, it could be their GDP for ten years.

Shen Manni could tell Xu Mo wasn't sincere, but was trying to anger Lin Fan and disgust her at the same time.

So she didn't harbor much resentment in her heart!

But there was still something that made her angry!

Xu Mo actually joked about the major life event of marriage!

Shen Manni was fuming inside.

In contrast, Dragon King Lin Fan became enraged. No one was allowed to touch a single hair on the woman he had his eye on!

"Stop dreaming about a toad eating swan meat! Xu Mo, let me make it clear, Ms. Shen will never agree to your outrageous request!"

[It's good that she doesn't agree. You think I want her to? If I really married that stupid woman, life afterwards would be miserable. The kids we'd have would probably all be mentally challenged. Even if you begged me, I wouldn't want her.]

[It's good that you're angry. Focus that rage a bit more, come on baby! Hurry up and think of your next plan to screw me over. My Xu family welcomes you, we'll clear the path for you. Our doors are always open, welcome to come and slap our faces]

Xu Mo felt inexplicably moved. His efforts to maintain his sycophant persona weren't in vain.

The protagonist was angry, so how could the villain have any good days ahead?

Wouldn't his next step be to think about slapping Xu Mo's face?

In other words, hadn't the upcoming face-slapping scene progressed another step?

Wasn't Xu Mo one big step closer to going home?

"I accept your request!"

Shen Manni's voice, gritted through her teeth, suddenly rang out!

At this moment, the whole place fell silent!

Even Xu Mo was stunned.

What the hell was going on now?!
