Shen Qianqian pursed her lips, "Brother Lin Xuan, I still hope we can talk privately, just the two of us. Having outsiders around isn't convenient."
"Wang Dahe is right. He and I are close, so he’s not an outsider. If you have something to say, say it here. Otherwise, I’m afraid I can’t stay," Lin Xuan said expressionlessly.
He had no intention of being alone with Shen Qianqian.
If someone from Su Hua’s side caught them, he’d be in big trouble.
"Brother Lin Xuan, wait!" Shen Qianqian called out anxiously, stopping him.
She didn’t know where Lin Xuan lived. If she didn’t speak up now, she had no idea when she’d get another chance to see him.
The longer she waited, the deeper his feelings for that woman would grow.
"Brother Lin Xuan," Shen Qianqian lowered her head and whispered, "I know you actually like me too."
Lin Xuan: "!!!"
What the hell!
Don’t drag me into this!
Wang Dahe’s eyes widened as he looked at Lin Xuan, his expression screaming "scumbag."
"Shen Qianqian, I already have someone I like—the woman from the coffee shop that day. Besides her, no one else catches my eye," Lin Xuan said through gritted teeth.
Shen Qianqian, don’t mess with me!
Su Hua was a yandere. If she got jealous, his kidneys would suffer.
"Brother Lin Xuan, I know you’re afraid to admit it. You have your reasons, don’t you?" Shen Qianqian said with a knowing look.
Lin Xuan: "..."
What reasons could I possibly have?
He just wanted to stay away from other women.
"Brother Lin Xuan, does that woman have something on you? You can tell me. My family has power and influence. We can help you resolve it."
Lin Xuan: "She doesn’t have anything on me."
He simply wanted to be with Su Hua.
Shen Qianqian pursed her lips. If there was no leverage, then that vixen must have temporarily bewitched Brother Lin Xuan.
But sooner or later, he’d realize she was better than that vixen.
"Brother Lin Xuan," Shen Qianqian puffed out her cheeks, "If you’re worried about hurting her, we can have a secret relationship. She doesn’t have to know."
As long as Brother Lin Xuan was willing to spend time with her, she was confident she could drive that vixen away from him.
Wang Dahe was stunned.
From the sound of it, she was volunteering to be the other woman.
She looked well-off, so how could she be so shameless?
"Brother Lin Xuan, I like you. As long as you’re willing to be with me, I can accept anything..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Lin Xuan quickly interrupted Shen Qianqian. "Wait, where exactly did you get the idea that I like you?"
Shen Qianqian had set up that whole "beauty saves the hero" scenario, but he hadn’t fallen for it.
Later, he even brought Su Hua along to show her he had a girlfriend, hoping she’d back off.
Everything he’d done was to make it clear he wasn’t interested in her.
He genuinely didn’t know what had given Shen Qianqian the wrong idea.
"Brother Lin Xuan, weren’t you smiling at me the whole time on stage?"
Shen Qianqian shyly lowered her head.
Brother Lin Xuan’s gaze had been so focused, as if filled with affection, making her blush and her heart race.
Lin Xuan was baffled. "Shen Qianqian, where were you sitting?"
"Brother Lin Xuan, don’t you remember? I was in the third row, right in the middle," Shen Qianqian replied, her face red.
"The middle seat?" Wang Dahe exclaimed.
Wasn’t that where Su Hua had been sitting?
So that’s what happened!
"Shen Qianqian, don’t flatter yourself," Wang Dahe said, crossing his arms. "On stage, Lin Xuan was looking at the vixen you mentioned, not you."
"You ugly man, what do you know?" Shen Qianqian snapped, unable to hold back her disdain for this unattractive guy.
"Me? Ugly?" Wang Dahe pointed at himself.
Damn!
He admitted he wasn’t as handsome as Lin Xuan!
But he wasn’t bad-looking, right?
He had a square face, the classic look of a Chinese man.
How was that ugly?
As soon as the words left her mouth, Shen Qianqian regretted them.
This unattractive guy was Brother Lin Xuan’s friend. Would insulting him make Brother Lin Xuan dislike her?
"I’m sorry, I lost my temper for a moment," Shen Qianqian apologized.
Wang Dahe snorted.
He wasn’t going to forgive her! Insulting his appearance? Unforgivable!
If she offended him, she could forget about getting close to Lin Xuan. Dream on!
"Brother Lin Xuan," Shen Qianqian turned to Lin Xuan, her demeanor sweet and charming again, "You were looking at me, weren’t you?"
Lin Xuan spoke coldly, "Wang Dahe is right. I was looking at my girlfriend. As for you, if you hadn’t shown up today, I wouldn’t even have known you were at the event."
Shen Qianqian’s face paled.
"Shen Qianqian," Lin Xuan took a deep breath. If he weren’t the type to avoid hitting women, he’d have already punched her.
"I’ve told you before, I will never like you. For your sake and your family’s safety, you’d better give up on this idea."
Lin Xuan’s attitude toward Shen Qianqian remained as cold as ever.
There wasn’t a trace of affection for her in his eyes.
Shen Qianqian’s eyes stung from his coldness.
"Brother Lin Xuan, why can’t you just look at me a little more?" Shen Qianqian’s eyes were filled with sorrow.
Wang Dahe glared at her, "Isn’t it obvious? Lin Xuan has a girlfriend. You’re just an outsider. Why should he pay you any attention?"
"Lin Xuan, let’s go."
Wang Dahe pulled Lin Xuan away.
Damn it.
If they stayed any longer, he might’ve punched Shen Qianqian.
Back in the car.
Wang Dahe said, "Lin Xuan, you should tone down your irresistible charm a bit."
Look, another admirer had appeared.
Lin Xuan sighed deeply, "I don’t want this either."
If Su Hua got jealous, it wouldn’t end well.
"Lin Xuan, always remember to stay true to yourself," Wang Dahe said seriously. "Don’t betray Su Hua’s genuine feelings for you."
"Wait, Wang Dahe," Lin Xuan couldn’t help but ask, "Are you my good brother or Su Hua’s? Why does it sound like you’re always on her side?"
Wang Dahe replied with a smirk, "I wouldn’t mind being Su Hua’s good brother."
If Su Hua spared even a little money from her fortune, he’d be set for life.
"Lin Xuan, I’ll be honest with you," Wang Dahe said earnestly. "If I keep an eye on you, maybe Su Hua will reward me someday."
Lin Xuan: "..."
I treat you like a brother, and you throw me under the bus?
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
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.
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)
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
