Tang Manman looked down at the bank card in her hand, then looked up at Lin Yu.
She hesitated to speak, stopping and starting again.
In the end, she couldn't say a single word.
Because this guy, Lin Yu, had already said everything there was to say!
She was still pouting a little.
Even though it was a foregone conclusion that Lin Yu couldn't belong to her alone, hearing him talk like that still stirred up an inexplicable anger in her heart...
Emmmm...
It seemed she still needed some time to get used to it.
As for this bank card, Tang Manman didn't want it.
She was already very satisfied with her current life.
Not to mention, Lin Yu had previously given her the money her mother had returned to him.
That alone was enough to make her feel embarrassed.
How could she take his money again?
"I don't want it."
Tang Manman shook her head and tried to stuff the bank card back to Lin Yu.
"Just take it."
Lin Yu roughly pushed Tang Manman's hand back and asked about serious matters:
"Manman, things have already come to this."
"What are you going to do about your family?"
"Are you planning to let them know about our relationship?"
Tang Manman knew Lin Yu was referring to the twisted love quadrangle between him, her, and those other two women.
Truthfully, she didn't know what to do about it either.
Her mother had always been a very conservative woman.
If she found out that her daughter was willingly sharing a man with other women, she would probably be so angry she wouldn't be able to speak for a while.
Moreover, for some unknown reason, Qinqin seemed to have a huge problem with Lin Yu lately.
If she were to find out about this on top of that...
She would probably turn the house upside down.
But if she didn't tell them...
Living together all the time, how long could she hide it?
After mulling it over, Tang Manman finally shook her head.
Forget it.
It's better to hide it for as long as possible.
After all, facing her closest family members, Tang Manman really couldn't bring herself to say it.
"I don't want them to know."
"But I don't know how long I can keep it from them."
Tang Manman said, sounding somewhat defeated.
Hearing Tang Manman's concerns, Lin Yu was actually a bit pleased. He immediately pitched his solution:
"I have an idea. Listen to it and see if it works."
"We can have Tang Qinqin transfer to a school in another city."
"Your sister is still young, so your mom definitely won't feel at ease letting her live alone."
"When the time comes, you can add some fuel to the fire."
"Get your mom to accompany your sister to the other city."
"Once they settle down there, I'll find a location for your mom to open a barbecue restaurant."
"That will tie them down."
"Ideally, it will make them settle down in that city for good."
"That way."
"In the future, we'll live in City H, and go to university in City N, keeping a far distance from them."
"It will be very difficult for them to find out about us."
"Transportation is so advanced nowadays that distance is no longer an issue."
"Whenever you miss them, you can just take a flight and stay with them for a while."
"It won't stop you from reuniting."
"What do you think?"
Tang Manman fell deep into thought after hearing Lin Yu's words.
She was slightly dissatisfied with this plan.
University was already far enough away from her mother as it was.
Now she would be far away from her mother during holidays too.
Tang Manman couldn't bear to part with her mother.
She didn't want this.
What?
She could go straight to her mother's city during the holidays?
No way!
She couldn't bear to part with Lin Yu either!
But Tang Manman had to admit one thing.
This seemed to be the best way to cover up this twisted romance.
Xia Muzhu and Qing Mo both lived in this city.
If she just let things be, there might come a day when her mother or sister saw Lin Yu by their side.
That would be a huge problem!
In comparison, having them move to another city really was a very safe method.
After thinking it over, Tang Manman nodded helplessly, agreeing to the plan.
But soon, a new question popped up, and she looked at Lin Yu to ask:
"But Qinqin is doing perfectly fine at her current school."
"She won't agree if I ask her to transfer for no reason."
"Leave that to me."
Lin Yu patted his chest, taking full responsibility for the matter.
With the only issue resolved, Tang Manman stopped stressing over it.
Because Tang Manman thought of another crucial thing.
Hehe (●ˇ∀ˇ●)
Next spring, she would be attending the same university as Lin Yu.
This way, she would be the one staying by his side the longest!
Longer than both of them!
Thinking about it this way, Tang Manman felt that spending more time with her mother and sister during the holidays without Lin Yu wasn't so unacceptable after all.
Lin Yu looked at Tang Manman, who had suddenly become very happy.
He had no idea what was going on in that little head of hers.
Just a moment ago, she looked so lost and sad.
But now her eyes were crinkled in happiness, the corners of her mouth turned up in a smile.
It felt like if she had a tail, it would be sticking straight up right now, wagging back and forth with joy.
Anyway, seeing that Tang Manman had agreed to his plan,
Lin Yu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
This way, there would be no more resistance to carrying out his plan.
Tang Manman left in a taxi.
In the end, Lin Yu still managed to stuff that bank card into her hands.
After all, to someone with financial freedom like him, that thing wasn't just useless.
It was truly useless!
Speaking of which, he still didn't know how much money was in the bank card Zhao Dahu had given him.
Lin Yu stroked his chin.
After thinking about it for a brief moment, Lin Yu chose to give up thinking about it.
Whatever.
How much could it really be anyway?
A million?
That was probably the absolute max.
Lin Yu stopped thinking about all that nonsense.
He still had important business to attend to in the afternoon.
Looking at the sparsely populated street, Lin Yu's mouth curled into a sinister smile.
Xu Mingyao.
Just you wait!
I'll show you what it means to become ten times stronger after turning to the dark side!
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
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.
