In a hotel, Lin Li had just finished discussing a collaboration and walked out of the private room, ready to leave.
Suddenly, Qin Ruoyao appeared, looking hurt as she gazed at Lin Li. "Li Gege."
Lin Li instinctively glanced around, relieved.
Thankfully, it was only one of his trusted subordinates; no one else was present.
The subordinate, with keen perception, said, "Mr. Lin, I have something at home, so I'll take my leave first."
Lin Li pulled Qin Ruoyao into the private room and frowned. "What are you doing here?"
"Li Gege, it's been half a month since I last saw you. I miss you so much." Qin Ruoyao looked at him pitifully, her eyes red and swollen from crying, like a little rabbit.
Qin Ruoyao knew very well how to manipulate Lin Li.
Lin Li was most vulnerable to her pitiful expressions.
As expected, Lin Li's expression softened. "I've been too busy. Now, my father is training me, giving me a lot of tasks, plus there's schoolwork to manage. I've been spinning around, and I really don't have time to see you."
"I understand, Li Gege. You wouldn't abandon me." Qin Ruoyao threw herself into his embrace, tightly hugging his waist.
"Don't cry, Yao Yao. Your tears make me heartbroken." Lin Li comforted her.
Qin Ruoyao deliberately rubbed against Lin Li. "Li Gege, I just wanted to see you today. Just seeing you is enough for me."
"I know you're busy, Li Gege. I'll head back now."
Qin Ruoyao turned to leave, but Lin Li grabbed her wrist.
Lin Li pulled Qin Ruoyao into his arms. "Yao Yao, I've just finished my work. Today, I can spend the whole day with you. What you did earlier, wasn't that your intention? I'll fulfill it for you."
"Li Gege." Qin Ruoyao blushed.
They booked a room in the hotel next door.
Lin Li couldn't wait to push Qin Ruoyao onto the bed, but she pushed him away.
"Li Gege, you smell like sweat. Go take a shower first."
Qin Ruoyao pushed Lin Li toward the bathroom.
Lin Li sniffed his clothes. "Sweat? Really?" he frowned.
"Li Gege, hurry up. I prepared a surprise for you." Qin Ruoyao blushed.
"You little trickster, that's what you're scheming." Lin Li chuckled and tapped Qin Ruoyao's nose.
Lin Li's heart also began to anticipate.
Qin Ruoyao was the most playful during intimacy, and he wondered what surprise she had prepared for him today.
"Alright, I'll go to the bathroom now."
Lin Li went into the bathroom.
Qin Ruoyao picked up her coat and took out the camera, placing it in a position facing the bed, where it would be hard to detect.
Qin Ruoyao also swapped the hotel-provided condoms.
She had paid a steep price to a vendor for these, with excellent packaging but riddled with holes.
Qin Ruoyao's gaze flickered.
If she couldn't get pregnant this time, there would be a second, third, fourth... She was sure she would succeed eventually.
She was determined to enter the Lin family's door!
After an hour of indulgence.
Lin Li dressed and said, "Yao Yao, I just remembered there's some work I need to handle at the company. I'll head back first. Here's a thousand yuan; take a taxi home."
"Mm." Qin Ruoyao nodded.
As soon as Lin Li left, Qin Ruoyao immediately took out the camera and transferred the video to her phone.
Qin Ruoyao watched the video, smiling.
With this video, even if Li Gege ever changed his mind, the Lin family, who valued their reputation so much, wouldn't dare to cast her aside directly.
Thinking of this, Qin Ruoyao touched her stomach.
If she could get pregnant, that would be perfect.
Lin Li remained unaware of Qin Ruoyao's actions as he returned to the Lin family residence.
Wang Yajun was there as well.
Seeing Wang Yajun sitting with Jiang Shuqin on the living room sofa, Lin Li was momentarily stunned. "Why is Auntie Wang here?"
Jiang Shuqin smiled. "Today is your Auntie Wang's birthday. She doesn't have any other family to celebrate with, so I thought I'd invite her over to celebrate together."
"Shuqin, thank you." Wang Yajun was deeply moved.
"We're best friends; there's no need to thank me. I'll go prepare dinner myself."
Jiang Shuqin headed to the kitchen.
Lin Li also said, "Dad, Auntie Wang, I'll go to my room."
Today was his mother's birthday, and he wanted to give her some time alone with his father.
"Go ahead," Lin Chang nodded.
The servants were all busy outside, leaving only Lin Chang and Wang Yajun in the living room.
Wang Yajun immediately pulled Lin Chang to the dining room, just a wall away from where Jiang Shuqin was busy in the kitchen.
Lin Chang frowned. "Juny, this is too dangerous. If Jiang Shuqin finds out..."
"She's busy in the kitchen; she won't notice us. I'm not afraid; what are you scared of, being a man?"
Wang Yajun kissed Lin Chang's lips.
Lin Chang also felt a thrill of excitement and couldn't wait to return her kiss.
They soon became more than just kissing.
They moved to the bedroom shared by Lin Chang and Jiang Shuqin, with Wang Yajun's eyes cold with amusement.
She couldn't wait for Jiang Shuqin to see the scene unfolding.
But she had to wait, at least until Lin Chang seized control of the Lin family...
Jiang Shuqin finished preparing dinner.
When she emerged from the kitchen, she saw Lin Chang sitting on the sofa, with Wang Yajun standing in front of him, holding a phone.
Jiang Shuqin frowned.
Somehow, she felt the atmosphere between them was strange.
And their faces were slightly flushed.
"What are you two doing?" Jiang Shuqin walked over.
Wang Yajun seemed to just realize her presence and smiled, pointing at the phone. "There was some urgent work that needed Mr. Lin's attention. I was just reporting it."
Jiang Shuqin glanced at the phone, which indeed showed work-related content.
Her doubts subsided.
Shaking her head, Jiang Shuqin chided herself.
What was she thinking? Her husband loved her so much, and Yajun had a beloved husband, after all, she was her best friend.
She must be crazy to think anything was amiss between them.
Two days later.
Luo Yuan noticed that Qin Ruoyao's mood had improved significantly. He guessed that she had likely secured the video of her and Lin Li.
Luo Yuan stroked his chin. It seemed he also needed to find an opportunity to get the photos and videos from Qin Ruoyao's phone.
Luo Yuan spent the rest of the money Lin Xuan had given him to buy a cake, a ring, and a bottle of red wine for Qin Ruoyao.
He showed up at Qin Ruoyao's place with these.
Qin Ruoyao looked at the cake, confused. "Luo Yuan, why did you bring a cake today? My birthday already passed."
"Yao Yao, don't you remember? Today marks six years since we met."
Of course, it wasn't true!
They had actually met six years ago, but that date was a month away.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
