“Would I be jealous?”
Jiang Che chuckled softly, then turned his gaze toward Gu Lingfei.
“Lingfei, so... you’re accepting me? Are you going to be my girlfriend?”
Gu Lingfei, being such a mature woman, was easy to talk to. She didn’t beat around the bush. If she was okay with something, she’d just say so. If not, she wouldn’t lead him on.
After their initial intimate exchange, Gu Lingfei, though she didn’t say it outright, had already mentally accepted Jiang Che’s role in her life.
Gu Lingfei pouted teasingly, “Pfft! Who said I’m going to be your girlfriend? You’ve got so many girlfriends... am I even in the lineup?”
Jiang Che shrugged, “Lingfei, you’re the most special one in my heart, always!”
But clearly, Gu Lingfei wasn’t the type like Qin Qiaoqiao, who was a hopeless romantic.
“Hmph... men!”
“I’ve heard that line from you more than five times! You probably tell that to all your little girlfriends, don’t you?”
“Pfft! You dog!”
Once she clearly defined her position, Gu Lingfei’s attitude toward Jiang Che changed significantly. She would never have said such things before.
For a high-cold CEO like Gu Lingfei, handling relationships was straightforward—act according to your role.
“Alright, Lingfei... tell me more about your company. I’m quite interested in that investor you mentioned.”
Jiang Che sat down beside Gu Lingfei, his big hand gently reaching for one of her smooth legs, massaging it lightly.
Ahem... it was truly just a massage, no ulterior motives whatsoever.
“I knew it, you’re jealous!” Gu Lingfei revealed a mischievous smile.
“Heeheehee~ Stop tickling my foot, it’s too ticklish!”
The progression of Jiang Che and Gu Lingfei’s relationship flowed naturally.
“Alright, alright, you want to know about the guy chasing me? Let me tell you, okay?”
Her expression turned serious.
“Che, do you know about this so-called ‘Stock God’ who’s been popping up in Hangcheng recently?”
“Stock God?” Jiang Che raised an eyebrow, curious.
Gu Lingfei nodded, “Exactly. He’s been going all-in on investments over the past two months, including stocks, securities, and other businesses... any industry he puts money into turns to gold. In just two months, he made nearly a billion yuan from investments! And his starting capital was only a few hundred thousand.”
“Oh? A few hundred thousand turned into a billion in two months?”
Jiang Che already had a pretty good idea of what was going on. Even the world’s top investors wouldn’t be able to achieve such a feat. Those top players could predict market trends, but it took weeks, sometimes months, of research.
But this guy seemed to just throw money around blindly, yet reaped insane profits. Only someone with extraordinary luck—a so-called “chosen one”—could manage that.
“This guy’s pretty mysterious. No one knew his identity before. But somehow, he’s decided to chase after me.”
Gu Lingfei said with a mix of amusement and exasperation.
“My company’s been having some issues lately, and then he just waltzes in, offering to fix my company’s troubles, all while pursuing me...”
“So, I’m guessing he deliberately caused the company trouble just to stage a heroic rescue, you know, win me over with his knight-in-shining-armor act. Companies just don’t run into problems out of nowhere.”
Jiang Che studied Gu Lingfei.
If this were any other girl, she’d come off as delusional, maybe even paranoid. But coming from someone as perfect as Gu Lingfei, it just made sense. Some men were willing to go to any lengths to win a woman’s affection.
“Here... this is the business card he left me.”
Jiang Che took the glossy card, crafted with some finesse.
The card only had a name and a phone number.
【Qin Tian, 134****】
Jiang Che nodded, realizing he’d encountered yet another “chosen one,” this one the mastermind behind investment successes.
In his past life, as a leader’s chauffeur, Jiang Che used to love reading investment-themed novels. The protagonists in those stories would rake in billions from the stock market with ease.
Some stories were beyond absurd—the protagonist’s stocks would double overnight, completely ignoring the rules of the market. But hey, it was all for the sake of a good read.
He even tried investing in some stocks himself, and well, he lost his shirt. From that day on, he swore off the market.
But now? Jiang Che wasn’t into those investment thrillers anymore.
He couldn’t find anything satisfying in those stories anymore. What were they compared to his own life?
“Che, what are you smiling about?” Gu Lingfei asked with suspicion.
“Ahem... I just remembered something funny.”
“What funny thing?”
“My cat does backflips.” Jiang Che joked, successfully making Gu Lingfei laugh.
“Haha... what kind of cat does backflips?” Gu Lingfei covered her mouth, her eyes crinkling with mirth.
“I’m not joking, my cat really does backflips!”
Jiang Che said seriously, thinking of showing her one day when Su Mianmian performed a backflip.
“Pfft~” Gu Lingfei laughed even harder.
Women were like that... their laughter came easily when they were with someone they cared about.
“Alright, I should get some sleep... I have to go to the company tomorrow~”
Gu Lingfei yawned, combed her hair, then leaned in and gently kissed Jiang Che on the cheek.
“Goodnight, my little boyfriend. See you tomorrow.”
With that, she turned and headed upstairs.
“Hmph...” Jiang Che gently touched his cheek, smiling wryly at himself.
He, a seasoned veteran of countless relationships, had just felt a fleeting image of settling down with Gu Lingfei?
That was scary. He couldn’t afford to get too emotionally invested in Lingfei. This “Sister Lingfei” of his was way too good at stirring emotions.
At that moment, a petite figure appeared at the staircase, wearing a cute cartoon-themed pajama, yawning as she eyed Jiang Che with extreme disdain.
[Disgusting man, I knew you’d make a move on Sister Lingfei! Gutter trash!]
Yu Wan'er had drunk a lot of water before bed and had woken up needing to pee. She’d gone to the bathroom and witnessed the romantic interactions between Gu Lingfei and Jiang Che.
Her jealousy flared immediately.
“Hmph, staying up late like that... you’re going to get a stroke sooner or later!”
The little girl huffed, then turned and walked into the bathroom.
But Jiang Che followed right behind her.
He grinned like a classic villain.
Using our bathroom, huh? Have you paid your toll yet?
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.
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
lanned to earn money steadily and take life at a slower pace. But he never expected... his father's remarriage, and the stepmother bringing along a dependent, would completely disrupt his life's plans...
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.”
