The Michelin one-star restaurant Jean-Georges sits on the edge of the Bund in Magic City.
Tourists stream by endlessly every day.
This area is prime real estate, with "golden location" being an understatement to describe it.
The restaurant has an overall European style, blended with some ancient Dragon Country elements, giving off a very high-end and luxurious feeling!
It's the kind of decorative style that young women tend to admire and desire.
"Vroom...."
The unique, alluring sound that only a sports car can make rings out, like a speeding cheetah, growing closer from afar. A flashy red sports car slowly drives this way.
The streamlined body, the eye-catching exterior, the pointed nose, the race car-style rear wing - every detail, every careful design stimulates people's every nerve!
The surrounding crowd's gaze is drawn to this super luxury car.
Sharp-eyed car enthusiasts who frequently study sports cars recognize the model, their faces filled with shock.
"Holy shit! It's actually a genuine Ferrari LaFerrari!"
Compared to the clueless onlookers, this young man clearly knows much more.
A curious bystander asks in surprise, "Ferrari LaFerrari sounds like just another Ferrari sports car model, doesn't it?"
The young man's eyes shine like two small suns as he nods eagerly, "It is indeed a Ferrari model, but this car surpasses many others. Not only that, do you see those luxury cars parked over there? This single car could outclass all of them combined."
A girl who doesn't know much about cars blinks and opens her small mouth slightly, "It can't be that exaggerated, can it?"
The young man shrugs and continues, "Hehe... It's even more exaggerated than you imagine! This sports car is not only a symbol of true wealth but also proof of social status! Just the base price is over 20 million yuan, and that's assuming you even have a Ferrari purchase qualification certificate!"
Everyone's hearts seem to skip a beat.
They stare at the sports car in front of them, dumbfounded.
Never mind the qualification certificate.
Just the price alone is enough to scare away 99.9% of the people present.
The Ferrari LaFerrari stops at the restaurant entrance, its cool scissor doors slowly opening, the unique door design exuding an imposing aura.
Upon hearing the news, the restaurant's blonde Western female manager immediately leads several waiters, their faces very respectful, quickly walking towards the Ferrari LaFerrari.
When everyone clearly sees the figures getting out of the sports car, they instantly understand, all wearing expressions of "as expected."
"Couldn't we just eat anywhere? Sigh... women are so troublesome."
Xu Mo scratches his head.
When it comes to food, he's not too picky. As long as it's not something disgustingly inedible, it's fine for Xu Mo.
Zhou Qiaoqiao smiles charmingly, "Little wolf... ahem, I see you really don't understand a woman's heart. This is called romance~"
Hundreds of gazes fall on them simultaneously.
"Damn! Young Master Xu and Miss Zhou are back together? He's actually bringing Miss Zhou here to eat alone, isn't he afraid word will reach Miss Shen's ears?"
"What are you saying? What are you saying? They're a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman. Who are you to jump to conclusions?"
"I also feel Young Master Xu and Miss Zhou are the most compatible."
"Tsk... does Young Master Xu need any more lovers? I'm the type who'd throw myself at him."
Some people even take out their phones to take photos.
The corner of Xu Mo's mouth twitches slightly.
[You can look all you want, but trying to ride the trending topic? Taking photos is going too far! Put your phone away quickly, I still need to keep up this devoted admirer act for that stupid woman Shen Manni to see!]
Xu Mo inwardly roars.
But thinking about it, even if Shen Manni saw this, it wouldn't matter.
She definitely wouldn't care.
So why should he care?
This show is mainly performed for her to see, not for the onlookers.
Thinking this way, Xu Mo feels much better.
The blonde Western woman's face breaks into a smile as she bends her sultry waist slightly towards them, "Miss Zhou, Mr. Xu, thank you very much for choosing our Jean-Georges restaurant. We will certainly provide you with the best service. Please follow me."
Xu Mo hands the car key to the valet who has come up specifically to park guests' cars.
Only then does he follow the blonde Western manager along with Zhou Qiaoqiao.
The valet looks in the direction Xu Mo has left, then at the Ferrari LaFerrari key in his hand.
At this moment, he feels as if the key in his hand is a hot potato!
He stands there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Along the way, Xu Mo looks at this restaurant he's never been to before, noting that the decor and such are very nice.
Very romantic.
The only regret in his previous life was probably not having taken Zhou Qiaoqiao to a decent restaurant for a proper meal.
This time, through a twist of fate, the plot has run in a different direction.
It's deviated, but not completely off course.
At least that's what Xu Mo thinks.
Perhaps to make it up to Zhou Qiaoqiao in his heart.
After symbolically pushing away her intimate hand a few times,
Xu Mo puts on an expression of exasperation.
He allows her to hold onto his arm.
If the minor plot deviates, so be it.
As long as the major plot later on, with its face-slapping moments, doesn't deviate.
In his heart, he silently cheers on the unimpressive dragon king protagonist once more.
Under the blonde Western manager's guidance, Xu Mo and Zhou Qiaoqiao arrive on the sixth floor of the restaurant.
The blonde Western woman strides on her long legs, walking in high heels, and stops at a spot near the edge.
Then she turns around and curtsies to Xu Mo and Zhou Qiaoqiao again.
Only then does she speak.
"Ms. Zhou, Mr. Xu, this is the best spot in our restaurant, a prime location we specially cleared for you when we learned you'd be dining with us!"
Most people who come to dine at Jean-Georges make reservations in advance!
And not for a short time either. Even those with connections and high social status
Couldn't get this spot without a reservation.
But Zhou Qiaoqiao and Xu Mo are different.
It only took one phone call.
Xu Mo looks around. The surrounding area is all transparent floor-to-ceiling windows. This is indeed the best special spot!
From here, one can faintly see the Oriental Pearl Tower and some of Magic City's most iconic buildings!
The city's enchanting skyline is laid out before them.
Not only that, but fresh red roses have already been placed on the table, many of them, every detail exuding romance, everything arranged perfectly.
Visual, auditory, tactile, and olfactory experiences are fused into one.
This is the luxurious life a wealthy villain should enjoy.
Not going home to be a devoted admirer.
Xu Mo is momentarily dazed, then his consciousness clears again.
[Damn! My firm resolve was almost shaken. It's all that female demon's fault, her methods are too ruthless]
[But from this setup, the choice of restaurant, you can see she really put her heart into it]
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining French proficiency!"
] [Lone Wolf, No Male Gaze] [Protagonist is pursued early on; extreme protagonist-stans, stay away!] The "Carnival Paradise" descends and slowly devours the real world in the form of a game. By chance, Zhu Yan awakens the talent [Roleplay], becoming one of the first beta players.

Between the straight path and the crooked path, he chooses the con. With his left hand, he dons the villain's mantle, staging scenes within instances, infuriating players who decry him as a despicable traitor, all while the game happily promotes him. With his right hand, he joins the non-human organization "Fangcun Mountain," which opposes the Carnival Paradise, transforming into a mysterious player who slaughters game bosses, earning cheers of "Long live the expert!" from fellow players. Gradually, Zhu Yan rises to become an S-rank human player in Fangcun Mountain's archives, while also being the Carnival Paradise's certified top game Boss. But when the final war erupts and both major factions place their hopes in him— Players tag his various aliases: "Experts, this offensive depends on you." The Carnival Paradise's supreme Boss throws an arm around his neck: "Bro, you're the iron, I'm the steel; you can't let me down again!"
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)

Shen Yuan: Let's team up, we'll split the system rewards! Protagonist: Fifty-fifty split? Shen Yuan: No way! Protagonist: What!? I'm the one getting beaten up, and I don't get half? Shen Yuan: Forty-sixty split, I get forty, you get sixty! Protagonist: Deal! Big brother, come on, hit me! As long as it doesn't kill me, beat me like you mean it! Shen Yuan: Don't worry...

lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
