In the end, Gu Lingfei could only roll her eyes at Jiang Che.
The idea of pregnancy was clearly just a joke—there was no way she could actually be pregnant.
Her age was indeed no longer young; in a few more years, she’d be pushing thirty. If it had been before... she might have seriously considered having a child.
Though she was a proud, high-and-mighty CEO who looked down on most men, let alone bearing their children...
But if it were Jiang Che’s baby... she’d actually be quite looking forward to it.
The problem was... she had already used the Eternal Youth Elixir, freezing her appearance at its most beautiful moment. She no longer had to worry about the passage of time or the fading of her looks.
Last year, she had thought the elixir was just something Jiang Che used to comfort her. But now, after a full year... she had fully experienced the terrifying power of the potion.
She didn’t have to worry about aging, and with Jiang Che’s even more miraculous Life-Extending Pills... it meant she could stay with him forever, never having to endure the pain of separation by death.
Having a child might make Jiang Che dote on her even more, but... she didn’t need that kind of affection.
Gu Lingfei wasn’t like other girls who got easily jealous. In fact, she was remarkably laid-back.
Because the future was so long... time would stretch infinitely, giving them all the time in the world to be together.
"Feifei-jie, whenever you want a baby, I’ll be more than happy to contribute!"
Jiang Che’s serious expression made Gu Lingfei burst out laughing.
But as she thought about it, her expression gradually turned more solemn.
"By the way, Jiang Che, I have a question for you."
"What is it?" Jiang Che propped his chin on his hand, yawning lazily.
"You have so many girls around you, and you’ve never taken any precautions... yet after more than a year, none of them have gotten pregnant. Shouldn’t you... go to the hospital and get checked?"
By the end, Gu Lingfei’s voice had shrunk to a whisper.
Jiang Che was speechless. She might as well have outright asked: Are you infertile?
Of course he wasn’t. Under normal circumstances, with someone like Yu Wan’er around, he’d probably already be expecting a second child by now.
But Jiang Che possessed the Dual Cultivation Technique—as long as he used it, pregnancy was impossible.
He could cultivate, have fun, and not worry about consequences.
To Jiang Che, this was practically a god-tier skill!
Given his insatiable nature, if he didn’t use the technique and skipped protection... his home would already be crawling with kids.
"Feifei-jie, why don’t you test it out yourself and see if I’m infertile?"
A mischievous smirk played on Jiang Che’s lips.
Gu Lingfei huffed and pulled her delicate foot back. "If you want a baby, go find another girl. Don’t you dote on Wan’er the most? Ask her to have one. Or go find Ji Ningxue!"
Jiang Che couldn’t help but laugh at her.
This woman was so unpredictable—one second, she was alluring in his arms, and the next, she was giving him the cold shoulder.
But for Gu Lingfei to suggest he ask Yu Wan’er to have a baby?
With her tiny stature, how could she even manage it?
She was better off as a cute mascot. Having a child? No way!
"Achoo!"
Upstairs, Yu Wan’er, who had been binge-watching a soap opera, suddenly sneezed and rubbed her nose.
"Hmph! That pervert Jiang Che must be talking about me behind my back!"
Just then, Qin Qiaoqiao walked in.
"Hehe, Wan’er, guess what I just heard?" Qin Qiaoqiao’s smile was full of mischief.
"What?" The girl blinked her big, pretty eyes.
"Jiang Che just said he wants you to have his baby!"
"WHAT?????"
Yu Wan’er was so startled she toppled backward off the sofa, landing on the plush carpet with a thud.
She pointed at herself, stunned. "M-me? Have his baby?"
Was this a joke? She was still a kid herself! And with her petite frame... wouldn’t she die giving birth?
Her size-38 feet could barely fit into Jiang Che’s size-45 shoes, let alone... that.
Her face turned ghostly pale.
"Hehe, just kidding, Wan’er! It was a joke!" Qin Qiaoqiao covered her mouth, giggling.
Yu Wan’er pouted and stomped her foot. "Qiaoqiao-jie! You’re teasing me again!"
She had nearly died of fright!
"But Wan’er, you really should exercise more. With your height... wouldn’t childbirth be tough? The future is so long... you can’t avoid it forever, right?"
Yu Wan’er’s face flushed red.
"Qiaoqiao-jie, I want to grow taller! But Jiang Che made me drink that Eternal Youth Elixir—you’ve all had it too—and now I’ll never grow again, wuwuwu~~~"
"Uh..." Qin Qiaoqiao scratched her head.
No wonder Wan’er hadn’t grown an inch this past year, despite all the nutritious food she’d eaten.
Poor Wan’er, doomed to be a forever-legal loli.
Wait, why am I pitying her? I’m not even as doted on as she is, wuwuwu—
This felt like a college intern making 3,000 a month pitying a construction worker who earns 10,000-20,000 for their hard labor.
......
The next morning.
Jiang Che received a message from Xiao Sisi as soon as he woke up.
[Jiang Che, my mind’s a mess right now. There’s a lot I want to ask you in person. Are you free to meet today?]
"Oh? Coming to confront me? Did she figure out I’m a playboy? Is her heart broken?"
Jiang Che chuckled. He wasn’t afraid of Xiao Sisi’s tantrums—he had no trouble handling a naive, bubble-headed girl like her.
It was like fishing: the fish was already hooked and in the net. There was no way it could escape now.
He typed back with one hand.
[Of course. There’s a lot I want to explain to you too.]
[Oh~]
Jiang Che nearly laughed at Xiao Sisi’s weak, one-word reply. Even her "confrontation" sounded timid—if someone bullied her, she’d probably just curl up like a pitiful little thing.
...
After hanging up, on the other end of the call...
"Jie, you’re so spineless!"
Xiao An’an sat cross-legged nearby, propping her chin on her hand, looking utterly exasperated.
"Jie, he hid things from you! You should’ve sounded fierce!" She mimed clawing the air, but it was about as intimidating as a kitten.
"An’an! I..."
Xiao Sisi was at a loss for words.
She had originally intended to confront Jiang Che with a demanding tone, but the moment she heard his voice... she simply couldn’t muster any fierceness.
"Don’t worry, sis. Just leave it to me—once we meet him, I’ll help you strategize," Xiao An'an said, patting her chest. Though the girl looked petite, her figure was strikingly voluptuous, her movements causing a tantalizing bounce.
A true case of a baby face—that’s exactly what this was.
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
