Choosing option two - directly rejecting Ye Mengyao - would cause her favorability to drop to almost zero.
This wasn't the result Jiang Che wanted.
He was just fishing, trying to manipulate Ye Mengyao, not actually uninterested in her.
As for how to resolve the cold and aloof persona he had created?
Jiang Che already had a plan.
Ye Mengyao's birthday party at the end of the month would be his breakthrough - when she would be drugged...
Wouldn't that solve everything?
One could say that from the very beginning... control had always been in Jiang Che's hands. He had arranged everything.
As for the reward for choosing option three?
A title?
"Harem Master"?
[Harem Master: When the host wears this title, they gain harem immunity. No matter how unrestrained the host becomes, they will remain as steady as an old dog, never following Brother Cheng's path]
Jiang Che: "......"
Hey hey hey, what do you mean?
With my excellent eloquence and high emotional intelligence, how could I possibly end up like Brother Cheng?
You're really underestimating me here.
[System Friendly Reminder: Have you forgotten how you died in your previous life?]
Jiang Che... couldn't argue with that.
Although he died in a car accident in his previous life, it was clearly... most likely intentional.
In his previous life, he had been too wild and accidentally got himself killed.
"Ahem... System, you're right, this title is pretty good."
"I choose option three."
......
At this moment, inside the room.
Everyone was waiting for Jiang Che's answer, especially Ye Mengyao... her eyes looking at Jiang Che held a hint of desperation.
Jiang Che directly activated 'Heart-Reading'
[Lin Xue: Ah... Little Che's expression surely means he's going to reject Yaoyao. It will be hard for her to recover from this.]
[Jiang Yunli: Bah! You little white lotus flower wants to marry my precious son? Che, reject her immediately!]
[Ye Mengyao: Jiang Che, with our parents and relatives all here, please don't reject me again. Don't make me... hate you.]
Oh ho?
No wonder rejecting you would directly reduce 80 favorability points.
Such a fragile little heart?
At the same time, Jiang Che understood that if he publicly rejected Ye Mengyao now... this girl would probably turn dark.
...
Jiang Che 'accidentally' glanced at Ye Mengyao, their eyes meeting.
His gaze carried four parts complexity, three parts melancholy, two parts hatred, and one part love.
A perfect pie chart.
He didn't speak, just let out a light sigh, his expression showing slight weariness.
"I'm tired."
With that, Jiang Che turned and went back upstairs.
Jiang Che only used three words, but they were perfect!
Especially Ye Mengyao's eyes, which instantly brightened a bit, her expression carrying a trace of joy.
Jiang Che... although he hadn't agreed, he hadn't rejected her either!
And just now, his gaze towards her was so complex... Although she couldn't fully understand that look, she still saw that hint of love in it.
For a young girl planning to pursue Jiang Che, even the tiniest bit of affection would be infinitely magnified... making her believe that Jiang Che still had feelings for her.
......
Ye Mengyao's family left the Jiang household.
Sitting in the car.
"Yaoyao, Little Che didn't reject you, which means there's still hope!"
Lin Xue began encouraging her daughter again. Actually, she had a very good impression of Jiang Che.
No one would be more suitable as her son-in-law than Jiang Che.
Plus, Jiang Che had saved Yaoyao's life.
Ye Mengyao nodded repeatedly like a pecking chick.
"Mom, you're right. Jiang Che must still be angry at me. I treated him too badly before. Although he hates me, he must still have me in his heart. I still have a chance."
One of humanity's four great illusions: they still love me!
Ye Changkong remained silent.
His precious daughter was now pursuing another man... this made him feel very uncomfortable, but since Jiang Che had saved Yaoyao, he had actually already gained his approval.
Besides, he felt that something was off about the way Jiang Che looked at Yaoyao, it seemed... somewhat lecherous?
It must be his imagination.
......
"Husband, I don't want Ye Mengyao to marry into our Jiang family. This girl is full of schemes..."
Jiang Yunli looked worriedly at Jiang Yuan.
At this moment, Jiang Yuan helplessly rubbed his temples. His wife was just a simple-minded person, with almost zero emotional and intellectual intelligence.
He could see that Ye Mengyao was actually just a pure-hearted young girl, not some schemer at all.
This girl was too innocent, with all her thoughts written on her face.
"Wife, you're right, I agree!"
"But didn't Little Che not reject her? Let's leave the children's matters to themselves."
Indeed, Jiang Yuan was truly a qualified husband.
"Hmph, I don't care, I just don't like Ye Mengyao."
His wife pouted.
"The girls who want to marry into our Jiang family could line up all the way to the South Pole, why do we need Ye Mengyao?"
"Not to mention Director Wang's daughter Wang Yanran, who's so beautiful and has such a lovely personality."
"And then there's Yu Wan'er who's been coming to our house these past few days to tutor Little Che, she's so adorable too, she's my favorite..."
However, mentioning Yu Wan'er, Jiang Yunli looked down at the time.
"Eh? It's almost ten o'clock at night, why haven't they finished yet?"
Jiang Yunli seemed to think of something, and the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.
Obviously, Yu Wan'er should still be in Jiang Che's room right now.
"Husband, let's take action!"
Jiang Yuan's mouth twitched, "What action?"
"I really like this Yu Wan'er, we need to create opportunities for our son!"
"Think about it... it's already ten at night, that little girl will definitely need to go home soon. We'll just make her stay... let her stay with our son, surely some sparks will fly."
Jiang Yunli looked expectant, even rubbing her hands together like a fly.
Jiang Yuan: "......"
He couldn't understand his wife's train of thought, but he was greatly shocked.
However, as a henpecked husband, he supported whatever his wife said!
"Husband, I'll go upstairs later......"
"Tsk... Wife, isn't this going a bit too far? Don't actually cause any deaths!"
"It'll be fine, don't worry!"
......
In the third-floor bedroom.
"Jiang Che, Jiang Che! Did Sister Yaoyao ask about me?"
Yu Wan'er crawled out from the wardrobe. The little loli had made a mess of Jiang Che's wardrobe, and there was a pair of his shorts on her head.
The girl disgustedly picked up Jiang Che's shorts with two fingers and threw them away.
"No."
Jiang Che smiled as he stared at the little loli in front of him, giving a slight smile.
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"

Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?"

Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
