Chapter 86
He knew he should have stayed away from Pei Susu.
See? Now trouble had come knocking.
Gu Ran shook his head helplessly. Without saying a word, he bent down to change his shoes before entering the house.
Seeing him stay silent, Ye Zhenzhen narrowed her eyes and stretched out her foot to lightly tap his calf.
"Why are you ignoring me, brother? You didn't have this attitude when you were facing someone else just now."
Gu Ran: "..."
He opened his mouth but was momentarily at a loss for words. Rubbing the bridge of his nose, he ultimately decided against saying much—forget it, her mood swings had been huge these past few days, so he wouldn't hold it against her.
Seeing him remain silent, the young girl furrowed her brows, her cheeks unconsciously puffing out a little.
"Annoying jerk!"
Muttering under her breath, she hooked her toe and kicked his neatly placed slippers askew. Then, lifting her delicate chin, she turned around and walked inside.
Gu Ran: "?"
What did he even do to be called annoying?
But remembering that she hadn't been feeling well recently, Gu Ran swallowed his words, silently put on his slippers, and followed her.
Bang!
The moment her front foot stepped into the room, she slammed the door shut right behind her.
Gu Ran, who was almost hit by the door, stopped in his tracks just in time. Staring at the tightly closed door in front of him, he felt even more baffled.
Her temper today... seems exceptionally bad?
He blinked, then turned around and went back to his own room.
At dinnertime, urged by Ye Shulian, Ye Zhenzhen reluctantly walked over to Gu Ran's door and reached out to knock.
With a click, the door opened a crack. Gu Ran poked his head out, his expression a bit unnatural: "What's wrong?"
"Time to eat."
She shot him a glance and turned to leave, but suddenly stopped. Looking back, a trace of inquiry appeared in her clear eyes.
"What were you doing in your room just now? Being all sneaky."
"Who's being sneaky?" Gu Ran immediately retorted. He straightened his back, trying his best to look righteous and confident.
Ye Zhenzhen, however, leaned in slightly, her nose twitching like a wary kitten.
"You're acting weird."
"How am I acting weird?" Gu Ran tried to change the subject, but his eyes darted away for a second.
The girl keenly caught the subtle panic in his expression, and her curiosity to catch him red-handed grew even stronger.
She lightly stepped on the top of his foot and lowered her voice: "Spit it out, what were you doing just now?"
"Just reading a book..." Gu Ran said, simultaneously hiding his hand behind his back.
This movement was caught by Ye Zhenzhen. She immediately reached out and grabbed his arm: "What are you holding in your hand?"
"Nothing..." Gu Ran tried to dodge, but she had already slipped behind him.
The next second, she clearly saw what he was holding, and her cheeks instantly flushed bright red.
"Gu 'Dog' Ran!"
Biting her lip, her voice was full of embarrassment and anger, "Why are you holding this?"
Being caught red-handed, even with his thick skin, he felt quite embarrassed.
The tips of Gu Ran's ears also grew hot, but he still tried to explain: "I was just... just looking. I really didn't do anything else."
"What is there to look at!" She was both embarrassed and furious. She stomped lightly on his foot again. "Give it back to me!"
Gu Ran quickly stuffed the item into his pocket, turned around, and walked toward the living room: "Didn't Auntie call us for dinner? Let's go, let's go."
"Stop right there!" Ye Zhenzhen chased after him with a flushed face, her fingertips tugging at the hem of his shirt. "Take it out!"
"Let's eat first, we'll talk after dinner." Gu Ran quickened his pace, simply refusing to hand the item over.
"So annoying!" she complained softly. The heat on her face hadn't faded, but she still followed him toward the dining room.
This dog, does he just grab whatever he wants all day?
Doesn't he know what things are too hot to handle?!
ng to die together with you." Lin Xuan is dead, his body thrown into the river by his scumbag lover and her accomplice. She, the president of the Su Group, is decisive, ruthless, and ice-cold. For three days and three nights, she had his body fished out of the river, and without hesitation, she kissed the bloated corpse of Lin Xuan. She laid down beside him in a cold coffin, their fingers intertwined, a smile lingering on her lips as she closed her eyes. The noble and cold-hearted woman, only bending for one man—Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan, with his golden finger, is reborn and returns to the day of his wedding to the treacherous woman. Su Qiang comes to steal the bride.

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
