Su Jianguo was surprised by Luo Yao's response. What had they been through to love each other so deeply?
"Xiao Ran, bring Yao Yao to visit when you're free. Grandma may not be very mobile, but she still cooks delicious meals."
"Got it, Grandma. We'll be going now."
Su Jianguo nodded. She really liked Lin Ran—perhaps he was a way to cope with years of missing her daughter.
Like Chen Xiao, she used to be stubborn and single-minded. But as society changed and they grew older, both of them had learned to let go.
Lin Ran got into the car with Luo Yao.
"You old fool, you’ve already met Xiao Ran—why didn’t you tell me?"
"Hey, don’t move, old woman. I’ll stand here so you can hit me. I only found out two days ago that Xiao Ran is our grandson. It’s all Qing Tian’s fault for keeping it a secret. She only showed me the paternity test right before the meeting. When that girl comes home, I swear I’ll beat her to death."
"You dare lay a hand on my granddaughter?"
"Huh? Did I say that?"
Inside the luxury car, Lin Ran sprawled across Luo Yao’s lap, the softness of her thighs making him increasingly addicted.
"Wife, how did I do?"
"Not bad. But I want to know—who’s the most beautiful woman?"
"Of course it’s you. Why even ask?"
"What about Chen Qingtian?"
"That was just flattery to get her into the company. Besides, she’s only considered a beauty in the entertainment industry. You’re the most beautiful woman in the world."
"Ah Ran, remember this—you don’t need to flatter anyone. They should be the ones flattering you. Whatever you want, I’ll get it for you."
Lin Ran raised his hand to stroke Luo Yao’s hair and whispered softly,
"Got it. After all, my wife is Luo Yao."
As if remembering something, Luo Yao frowned slightly.
"Ah Ran, I need to confirm something—will you follow in Lin Jian’s footsteps?"
Lin Ran froze, not understanding what she meant.
"What do you mean?"
"Bone-setting expert."
Lin Ran: "Holy— Yao Yao, you’re incredible! You even know about Lin Jian? Nothing gets past you."
He thought he was the only one in the world who knew about this, but Luo Yao was already aware.
"Answer me."
Lin Ran laughed helplessly. "Relax, I don’t have that kind of fetish. Besides, I don’t want any woman except you. If you ever stop loving me, I’ll tie you up and keep you by my side forever—no escaping."
Taking the yandere route so the yandere has nowhere to go.
Luo Yao’s lips curled into that beautiful smile.
"Men aren’t allowed either."
Lin Ran: ???
"Wait, my orientation is normal—you know that, right?"
A yandere’s heart is always filled with overwhelming possessiveness, even after getting the reassurance they want.
"I don’t care if it’s Chen Qingtian, Liu Ruxue, Huo Haini, or Zhang Xiaonuan—Ah Ran, remember this: whoever clings to you, I’ll end them."
Lin Ran gulped.
"Well, I’m still tormenting Liu Ruxue. Zhang Xiaonuan and I have zero contact. Chen Qingtian is my cousin—I’m not into bone-setting. Huo Haini is kind of disgusting though. Yao Yao, if you like ending people, go for her."
Luo Yao’s gaze gradually returned to its usual calm. She didn’t need affection from anyone except Lin Ran—not from the Luo family, nor the Chen family.
"Fine. If she’s looking for death, I’ll grant her wish."
Luo Yao was fairly satisfied with Lin Ran’s performance today.
So she rewarded him generously.
At the same time, she wanted to use her skills to keep him hooked.
As long as Lin Ran was willing, she’d pay any price.
With the TV in the living room playing "The Little Tadpoles Look for Their Mother," Lin Ran and Luo Yao completed their task for the day.
"Wife, I want to film our story in an exaggerated way as a short video. I bet it’ll go viral. What do you think?"
"Am I playing the female lead?"
"No, and I won’t act either. Let Zhang Xiaolong and Wu Zhishang play the leads, with Chen Qingtian as the female lead."
"Oh, then do whatever you want."
"I might need to use our estate for filming. Do you mind if I bring people over?"
Luo Yao clung to Lin Ran and said, "You’re the man of this house—even I have to listen to you. Of course it’s your call."
Lin Ran was deeply moved.
"Wife, aren’t you afraid of our relationship going public?"
He already knew Luo Yao didn’t care, but he still wanted to confirm.
"Of course not. If Ah Ran wants to go public, anytime."
Deep down, Luo Yao really wanted to announce it to the world.
This man is mine. Open your eyes and stop shamelessly throwing yourselves at him—it’s disgusting.
The look in Luo Yao’s eyes made Lin Ran adore her even more. He gently booped her nose.
"Wife, why act with me? Our life is already a live broadcast—no rehearsals needed."
Luo Yao: "Then let’s broadcast it for a lifetime."
Lin Ran: "First, I need to stay in good shape."
The phone rang. Lin Ran glanced at it—it was Xu Kai.
After listening for a few seconds, he smirked.
"Yao Yao, I think Lin Tianba is done for this time."
Luo Yao paused briefly.
"Ah Ran, if anything happens, you must tell me."
"Of course."
Early the next morning, Lin Ran marched into Suran Group with his entourage of bodyguards and lawyers.
For such an important occasion, he decided to personally attend the shareholders' meeting.
Upstairs in the conference room, most of the major and minor shareholders had already arrived.
Among them were a few new faces—investors who had recently bought shares at low prices.
The major shareholder, Qu Te Niang, hadn’t sold her shares.
Lin Tianba sat at the head of the table, practically glowing with pride.
His own son was here to solve the company’s crisis. Let all those who looked down on him see—his son was amazing!
Soon, Lin Ran swaggered into the conference room with his noisy entourage and headed straight for the main seat without hesitation.
"You—go stand over there."
Lin Tianba: "Xiao Ran, what did you say?"
"I! SAID! STAND! THERE!" Lin Ran enunciated each word.
Lin Tianba was about to resist when he met Lin Ran’s fierce glare. He jumped up in fright and immediately vacated the seat.
Huh? Why am I scared of this unfilial brat?
But that look just now was terrifying. What’s going on?
The others in the room watched with silent disdain.
Serves you right for never treating your son well. Now you’re completely at his mercy—what a failure.
Standing awkwardly at the side, Lin Tianba scratched his head, thinking it was normal for leaders to stand while speaking.
"Everyone, sorry for calling you back so soon. Today, we’ll discuss the issue of share transfers."
The moment Lin Ran sat down, he coldly snapped,
"Who said you could speak?"
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.

Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.
