"Good job, sweetheart. I’ll treat you to something special tonight."
Jiang Che carried Qin Qiaoqiao into the passenger seat of his car.
The young girl blushed shyly, "It was your idea in the first place! I was just playing along."
"Jiang Che, senior... can I ask you something?"
Qin Qiaoqiao suddenly turned serious, even holding onto Jiang Che’s hand.
"Whatever it is, let’s talk about it when we get home."
Jiang Che’s car had already entered the Jiang family villa. Apart from Aunt Chen, no one else would be coming here now.
His parents, in their effort to create a good environment for him, had already moved out.
"Welcome to your new home."
Jiang Che scooped Qin Qiaoqiao up in his arms, making the girl blush again.
"I can walk, you know!"
Jiang Che carried her straight into the house. While Qin Qiaoqiao was shy, her big eyes couldn’t help but take in the grandeur of the villa.
It was enormous and luxurious, clearly worth a fortune.
It also made her painfully aware of one thing: she and Jiang Che were from two completely different worlds.
Jiang Che would never marry her. Though her mother’s words had been harsh... they were true. It was all her own reckless pursuit, like a moth to a flame.
The thought of Ye Mengyao filled Qin Qiaoqiao with a deep sense of inferiority. Someone like Ye Mengyao, beautiful, academically brilliant, and a wealthy heiress...
"Marrying someone of equal status" wasn’t just a saying.
"Qiaoqiao, what are you thinking about?"
"N-nothing!" Qin Qiaoqiao’s face turned red.
Just then, Aunt Chen walked in carrying a large bag of groceries.
She came every day to prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Seeing Jiang Che with the young girl, Aunt Chen smiled and quietly stepped back.
"Aunt Chen, make some porridge for dinner."
After saying this, Jiang Che took Qin Qiaoqiao’s hand and led her upstairs.
"That kid..." Aunt Chen chuckled helplessly.
She had watched Jiang Che grow up, so she wouldn’t say much. She just felt a little sentimental... the boy had grown up.
"Don’t worry, Aunt Chen will leave after cooking."
Qin Qiaoqiao: "......"
...
Wang Lili returned home in a daze.
"Lili, where’s Qiaoqiao? Where did she go?" A bespectacled man put down his newspaper, frowning as he asked.
Wang Lili was silent for a long time before finally speaking up and explaining the situation.
After finishing, she became agitated again.
"Our daughter absolutely cannot stay with that Jiang Che. I’ll bring her back in a few days. That Jiang Che is nothing but a spoiled, good-for-nothing playboy!"
Looking at his furious wife, Qin Shou sighed.
"Lili, I told you not to push Qiaoqiao too hard. Now look what’s happened!"
"I was only doing what’s best for her!" Wang Lili was on the verge of tears.
Her Qiaoqiao would be ruined by that Jiang Che!!!
"Enough. If you bring Qiaoqiao back now, she’ll throw a fit."
Qin Shou adjusted his glasses. As a Chinese literature teacher, he came across as somewhat old-fashioned.
"Then what should we do? Just watch as Jiang Che ruins her?"
"What can we do? This is all your doing."
"I was only thinking of Qiaoqiao’s future!"
"......"
"Listen to me. Young people won’t do anything too outrageous. After all, Qiaoqiao is a well-behaved girl."
Qin Shou clearly didn’t know his daughter as well as he thought.
"Let’s hope so."
But they were definitely going to have a sleepless night.
......
Chen Hao had been bailed out by the Chen Family’s ancient martial arts connections.
But it had cost him one of his chances to borrow the family’s power. He now had only one opportunity left.
"Damn you, Jiang Che! I’ll kill you!"
He had never wanted to kill someone so badly. A Dark Force mid-stage master like him, being played like a fool by an ordinary person!
And the woman he loved had been defiled by him. It was unbearable!
Once he used up his three chances, the family would force him to return and undergo rigorous training.
If he could reach the level of Transform Force, the position of family head would be his for sure.
But Chen Hao knew very well that he had once been a martial arts prodigy. He had reached Dark Force at the age of nine and Dark Force mid-stage by eleven, but at twelve, his progress had suddenly stopped, leaving him stuck for twelve years.
A fortune-teller had once told him that his opportunity lay outside the family. If he returned... his martial arts would likely never advance again.
Fortunately, he had a younger sister. The thought of her always calmed his restless heart.
A sister who had reached Transform Force at the age of eighteen—a true genius. Her talent had bought him a lot of time.
Chen Hao’s goal was simple: find his opportunity in the secular world, break through to Transform Force, and perhaps even reach the legendary realm of Grandmaster!
Then return to the family and reclaim his honor!

ave】 Shen Qingling was a man with peerless looks, a cunning mind, and the ability to play both the aloof noble and the innocent sweetheart—a master of seduction who could outplay any player. But after an untimely death, he found himself bound to a system and transmigrated into the tragic "true young master" of a melodramatic novel. In the original story, his childhood sweetheart treated him as a backup plan, his fiancée swore to break off their engagement for the sake of the "fake young master," and his own sister saw him as the family's disgrace. He was nothing more than a rat everyone wanted to stomp on. System 077: "Your mission is to change the original fate and conquer the goddesses." Shen Qingling: "Thanks for the invite. If seduction had tiers, I’d be max level." His childhood sweetheart knelt, begging for forgiveness: "Qingling, I was wrong. Please give me another chance." His ex-fiancée refused to marry anyone else: "Shen Qingling, I was blind before. In this life, I’ll marry no one but you." A yandere CEO went mad for love: "Shen Qingling, you can only like me. I’ll stop at nothing to make you mine!" His green-tea sister clung to him daily: "Brother, look at me, won’t you? I’m more obedient than them—I love you the most~" At first, they scorned and trampled on him. Later, they burned themselves like moths to a flame, all for his sake. His looks were his weapon, his sweet words the bait—heroines obsessed over him, villains turned to madness for him. Shen Qingling became a true male siren, igniting battlefield after battlefield of women fighting for his affection. Years later, when System 077—now one of the elites—was asked how to become as outstanding as it, it lazily exhaled a smoke ring and replied: "Just know how to cheer ‘666’ at the right time."
