Aunt Chen prepared four dishes and a soup.
Gu Lingfei and Yu Wan'er each had their own little thoughts.
Especially Yu Wan'er, who could clearly feel that... over the past few days of interacting with Jiang Che, she had become much "worse."
This terrified her. She was genuinely worried that she might completely lose herself in it.
Clearly, Yu Wan'er still didn't have a clear understanding of her situation.
She had already boarded the pirate ship long ago!
"Ahem... Your name is Yu Wan'er, right?"
After finishing her meal, Gu Lingfei turned her gaze to Yu Wan'er.
A sense of softness welled up in her heart. Yu Wan'er's appearance was simply too adorable—anyone who saw her would want to give her a little pat on the head or ruffle her hair.
To put it bluntly, Yu Wan'er would undoubtedly be the kind of universally adored loli heroine in a yuri novel.
But unfortunately, she had encountered Jiang Che.
"Mm..." Yu Wan'er lowered her head, resembling a well-behaved girl.
Gu Lingfei, as if performing a magic trick, pulled out a delicate box and took out a necklace from inside.
It shimmered with a silvery glow, and the pendant was adorned with a sapphire, exquisitely crafted to perfection.
"This is..."
Yu Wan'er's eyes widened.
Gu Lingfei smiled gently. "A little gift for you. It's just a small token."
Yu Wan'er shook her head vigorously. Although she was a poor girl, having spent several years by Ye Mengyao's side, she had developed some discernment.
The necklace was clearly worth a fortune, and she couldn't possibly accept it.
"Come on, it's just a little thing. It's not worth much," Gu Lingfei insisted, forcefully putting the necklace on Yu Wan'er.
It truly looked beautiful, perfectly complementing Yu Wan'er.
"Sister, this is too valuable. I can't take it..."
"Take it! Or else I'll give you a hard time every day from now on," Gu Lingfei said, pretending to be angry.
Yu Wan'er: "......"
Jiang Che didn't say anything either. A girl as adorable as Yu Wan'er was like a meticulously crafted work of art by the heavens. Delicate jewelry only served to accentuate her perfection.
"Oh, by the way, Xiao Che! I have a gift for you too!"
Gu Lingfei gave Jiang Che a mysterious smile.
"I specially asked a friend to custom-order a limited-edition Bugatti Veyron from Italy for you. It was airlifted here!"
Jiang Che: "......"
To be honest, Jiang Che had no interest in sports cars. Given his current status, what kind of sports car couldn't he buy?
Even in his past life, he had lost interest in sports cars. After all, what kind of truly wealthy person spends their days driving a sports car just to show off?
What if you have too many girls?
Sports cars only have two seats. If there are two girls... well, that's awkward. Who do you tell to get lost?
Jiang Che couldn't bear to see girls upset, so it was better to have a bigger car—preferably an extended version.
"Thank you, Feifei," Jiang Che said with a slight smile.
Even though the car would undoubtedly end up gathering dust in the garage, it was still important to show appreciation when a beautiful woman gave you a gift.
...
After dinner, Gu Lingfei went upstairs to play the piano for a while.
Meanwhile, Yu Wan'er secretly played with the necklace around her neck, her eyes sparkling.
No girl could resist something shiny. Despite Yu Wan'er's scheming nature, at her core, she was still a simple girl.
"Hehe... Does it look good?"
"It does," Yu Wan'er nodded instinctively.
Then she glared fiercely at Jiang Che and tucked the necklace under her collar.
Jiang Che reached out, fumbled around, and pulled the necklace back out from under Yu Wan'er's clothes.
"Give it back! Sister Gu gave this to me!" Yu Wan'er's face turned bright red as she tried to snatch the necklace back.
"This necklace is beautiful, isn't it? Do you know how much it costs?"
Yu Wan'er didn't respond. She didn't dare to guess.
"It's called 'Heart of the Sea.' It was the final auction item at an overseas auction last year. The final bid was 7 million."
"Dollars!"
Yu Wan'er's face instantly turned pale. She had thought the necklace was expensive, but she never imagined it would be this expensive. This necklace was worth more than her life!
"I... I can't take it. Please return it to Sister Gu."
Jiang Che simply smiled, then placed the necklace back around Yu Wan'er's neck, leaning down to gently kiss her forehead.
"Wan'er, you're more beautiful than this necklace. You deserve to have it."
Yu Wan'er lowered her head, her face red all the way down to her neck.
[You pervert, you jerk! Why are you spouting such cheesy lines? Ugh... I don't want to hear your corny pickup lines!]
[Hmph~ Do you think I'll forget how you used to bully me? Don't think you can corrupt me with sweet talk!]
Jiang Che was a master at freeloading. The necklace had absolutely nothing to do with him, and it certainly wasn't something he had bought.
But with just a few words, he had managed to deeply move Yu Wan'er, making it seem as though he had been the one to gift her the necklace.
...
Midnight.
"Phew..."
Jiang Che leaned against the headboard, his eyes carrying a hint of depth. For a moment, it felt as though he had transcended some realm, as if he had become an enlightened monk.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's time to get down to business."
Jiang Che wasn't just a creature driven by his lower instincts. After all, he was, at his core, a villain.
"Go investigate that new security guard at Lingche Group, Su Han. Make sure not to alert him."
The Jiang family's influence in Hangcheng was formidable, and naturally, they had their own intelligence network.
Soon, Jiang Che had gathered some information about Su Han.
After all, Su Han had previously been the leader of a foreign mercenary group. When he returned to Dragon Country, he had to report to the military in advance—otherwise, he'd be charged with espionage!
Su Han's identity might sound impressive and mysterious, but in the eyes of someone truly powerful... it was nothing.
In no time, Jiang Che had obtained all the information about Su Han.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack.
