Wang Ping smiled kindly and said, "Lin Xuan, I just mentioned inviting everyone to the Extravagance Club for my birthday party. I noticed you were sleeping, so I came specifically to invite you."
"The event is the evening after tomorrow. Are you free?"
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes.
Wang Ping came from an ordinary family. Although his parents held minor positions in a company, their combined salaries barely amounted to forty thousand yuan, far from enough to cover the millions required for a party at the Extravagance Club.
Wang Ping had a good relationship with Ye Li. It was likely that Ye Li was footing the bill for Wang Ping's birthday party.
Ye Li was making his move against Lin Xuan.
At this thought, Lin Xuan sneered. The Extravagance Club? Ye Li was really going all out to deal with him.
"Lin Xuan, all our classmates are coming," Wang Ping added, afraid that Lin Xuan might refuse. "We've been classmates for three years. You can't turn me down."
"Alright, I'll go."
Lin Xuan's lips curled into a smile. He wanted to see what Ye Li had in store for him.
It was about time he dealt with Ye Li.
In the following days, Qin Ruoyao lived in the lap of luxury. Luo Yuan took her shopping every day and transferred a considerable amount of money to her.
"Baby, come out. I'm waiting for you at the Junyue Hotel," Lin Li said suggestively.
"Okay, Brother Li, I'll be right there," Qin Ruoyao replied sweetly.
Luo Yuan approached, holding a milk tea he had bought for Qin Ruoyao.
"Luo Yuan, something came up at home. I need to go back," Qin Ruoyao said apologetically.
"Alright," Luo Yuan handed her the milk tea. "Do you need me to take you?"
"No, I've already called a car. It should be here soon."
Although Luo Yuan had previously said they would only be friends, Qin Ruoyao still felt that he was pursuing her, wanting to be with her. She believed he had said that to lower her guard, allowing him to gradually win her heart.
She still needed Luo Yuan to spend money on her, so she couldn't let him know about her relationship with Lin Li.
"Take care, Ruoyao," Luo Yuan said.
"Mm."
Qin Ruoyao, wearing a floral dress and high heels, walked briskly out of the restaurant.
Luo Yuan had a feeling Qin Ruoyao wasn't going home.
He hailed a taxi.
"Driver, please follow that car ahead," Luo Yuan said.
"The one with the young lady in it? Young man, I'm a law-abiding citizen. I don't do things like following people," the driver refused sternly.
Luo Yuan was good at acting. He lowered his eyes and said sadly, "Uncle, the girl in that car is actually my girlfriend. She's been distant lately, dressing up beautifully every day to go out. I suspect she's seeing someone else. I just want to see if I'm wrong."
Luo Yuan even showed the driver a photo of him and Qin Ruoyao together.
The driver was completely convinced.
Cheating? That was unacceptable!
He had a daughter who had been cheated on by her boyfriend, so the driver had a deep hatred for cheaters.
"Young man, don't worry. I'll make sure we don't lose her!"
The driver, filled with righteous anger, stepped on the gas and followed Qin Ruoyao's taxi closely.
Luo Yuan watched as Qin Ruoyao entered the Junyue Hotel.
The driver looked at him sympathetically. "Young man, locals don't just come to hotels for no reason. You were probably right. She's likely cheating. Don't be too sad. There are plenty of fish in the sea, right?"
"Yes, thank you, Uncle."
After getting out of the car, Luo Yuan handed the driver a hundred-yuan bill.
"I won't take your money," the driver waved his hand. "Use it to buy yourself something comforting."
With that, the driver drove off.
Luo Yuan rubbed his nose, feeling a bit guilty for deceiving the driver, who had genuinely tried to comfort him.
As soon as Luo Yuan entered the hotel, he overheard the front desk staff gossiping.
"Did you recognize that girl just now?"
"The one in the white dress with small flowers?"
"Yes, that's her. A while ago, she came here in a wedding dress to check in."
The staff member had a particularly vivid memory of Qin Ruoyao in her wedding dress.
"Tsk tsk, she really knows how to have fun. Even after getting married, she's still playing around."
"Actually, I don't think that guy is her husband. What married couple doesn't check in together? They never arrive or leave together."
"If that's the case, then her husband must be a real fool."
Luo Yuan stroked his chin. He had indeed caught Qin Ruoyao with another man.
But a wedding dress... Had Qin Ruoyao gotten married?
Luo Yuan called Lin Xuan and told him about it. "Lin Xuan, the hotel staff said Qin Ruoyao came here in a wedding dress a while ago. She must be married. I wonder who the groom is?"
As he spoke, he silently pitied the man Qin Ruoyao had married. "How tragic. On his wedding day, his new wife ran off to be with another man."
Compared to that man, Luo Yuan felt his own situation of being deceived by Qin Ruoyao wasn't so bad.
Lin Xuan: "..."
There was a long silence.
"Lin Xuan, are you there?" Luo Yuan asked curiously.
Lin Xuan's voice was low. "The person Qin Ruoyao married... is me."
Luo Yuan: "!!!!"
It was Lin Xuan!
"So, you and Qin Ruoyao are now..."
Luo Yuan was completely baffled.
With Boss Su, Qin Ruoyao, Lin Li, and Lin Xuan, the relationships were a tangled mess.
Qin Ruoyao and Lin Xuan had held a wedding, so why was Qin Ruoyao now pursuing Lin Xuan...
Lin Xuan pinched the bridge of his nose. "We didn't actually get married. Hua interrupted the wedding and took me away. I saw Qin Ruoyao for who she really is."
Luo Yuan's eyes widened.
Holy crap! This was too intense!
Why hadn't he been there to witness the drama?
"Luo Yuan, keep an eye on Qin Ruoyao."
Lin Xuan hung up.
Luo Yuan hid outside the hotel, waiting for Lin Li and Qin Ruoyao to come out.
Qin Ruoyao swiped her card and entered the room, where Lin Li pinned her against the wall.
"Brother Li," Qin Ruoyao lowered her head shyly.
"Ruoyao, you haven't been coming to see me much lately. Have you been too happy with Lin Xuan to remember me?" Lin Li asked, narrowing his eyes.
Previously, Lin Li had used Qin Ruoyao to turn the Lin family against Lin Xuan, ensuring Lin Xuan would have no chance of inheriting Starlight Group.
His goal had been achieved. Lin Xuan had fallen out with his family and signed a severance agreement.
Now, Lin Li was still involved with Qin Ruoyao simply because she was a woman Lin Xuan had loved.
He enjoyed toying with Lin Xuan's women.

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.

The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it.
