After dropping Bai Yutian off at Su Qianmo's office and giving a few more instructions, Gu Chenan drove back home.
Meanwhile.
Liu Mingrui opened her eyes from her deep sleep.
Feeling parched, she crawled out of bed and gulped down several mouthfuls of water, which helped her fully wake up.
"Chenan?"
Looking at the empty room, Liu Mingrui called out tentatively, but only the chirping of insects outside answered her.
Liu Mingrui pressed her red lips together and, not giving up, called out louder: "Gu Chenan!"
"Miss Liu."
At this moment, Ma Bing, who heard the voice, quickly walked in from the main hall and addressed Liu Mingrui who was standing in the second-floor corridor: "Young Master Gu has gone out. If you need to reach him, Miss Liu, perhaps you should give him a call."
"Gone out?"
Liu Mingrui's brows immediately furrowed. Today was supposed to be when the next female lead would arrive, and if Gu Chenan wasn't here, what did that mean?
It meant he had already met with the next female lead!
"Is Chenan alone?" Liu Mingrui asked.
"He's with Miss Bai," Ma Bing replied.
Hearing this, Liu Mingrui clenched her back teeth.
Well, well, Gu Chenan!
Last night he said so sweetly that even when the next female lead arrived, he wouldn't forget about her. Was he just saying that to get her into bed, only to throw those words away afterward?
What happened to never forgetting about her? What happened to caring more about her? Were those all lies?
Liar, big liar!
Liu Mingrui was filled with grief and anger, her fists tightly clenched.
"Miss Liu, let me call Young Master Gu."
Seeing Liu Mingrui's disturbed expression, Ma Bing immediately took out his phone.
"Don't!"
But at that moment, Liu Mingrui sharply stopped him: "Don't spoil Young Master Gu's good time!"
With that, Liu Mingrui turned and walked back to her room, slamming the door with a "bang."
In the room, Liu Mingrui threw herself onto the bed, covered her head with a pillow, and began to sob "woo woo woo."
If Gu Chenan were present, he would have been too shocked to speak.
Liu Mingrui had always been a tomboy since childhood, and Gu Chenan had never seen her like this before.
"Liar, you big liar!"
"You promised to care more about me, but as soon as I fell asleep, you went out with someone else..."
"I'll never believe you again!"
Liu Mingrui cried tearfully, muttering to herself, completely transformed into the image of a soft-hearted girl whose heart had been broken.
Meanwhile.
Gu Chenan drove back to the estate.
He had promised Liu Mingrui last night that he would pay more attention to her, which was why he had taken the newly arrived Bai Yutian to Su Qianmo's company.
"I wonder if Mingrui is awake."
After parking the car, Gu Chenan stretched and looked toward Liu Mingrui's room on the second floor.
"Young Master Gu."
Just then, Ma Bing quickly walked over and said: "Miss Liu was asking about your whereabouts earlier, and she seemed angry."
"Huh?"
Gu Chenan was stunned, then gave a bitter smile.
"She probably thinks I'm ignoring her again and went out to have fun with Bai Yutian."
"It seems so..." Ma Bing pursed his lips.
Gu Chenan helplessly patted Ma Bing's shoulder and walked into the main hall, heading straight upstairs.
Knock knock knock~
Gu Chenan knocked on Liu Mingrui's door, "Mingrui, are you awake?"
In the room, Liu Mingrui shot up from the bed when she heard Gu Chenan's voice.
She looked surprised, as if she hadn't expected Gu Chenan to appear at all.
After being stunned for two or three seconds, Liu Mingrui quickly wiped her tears with the blanket and rubbed her eyes: "Y-yes, I'm awake."
"Oh, since you're awake, come out. Let's go for a walk outside."
Hearing this, Liu Mingrui was slightly shocked, thinking wasn't Gu Chenan out with Bai Yutian? Why did he now want to take her out?
What was this, taking turns, one after another?
"Weren't you out with little sister Bai?" Liu Mingrui asked.
"I just dropped her off at Qianmo's company," Gu Chenan smiled: "Are you angry?"
Liu Mingrui was stunned, immediately denying: "Who-who's angry? I was just asking."
"Alright, if you're not angry then come out quickly. I'll wait for you in the living room."
"Okay."
In the room, Liu Mingrui took out her phone which was in sleep mode and checked her appearance. Relieved to see her eyes weren't swollen, she opened the door.
In the main hall downstairs, Gu Chenan sat on the sofa and waved to Liu Mingrui: "How about going to the aquarium? We can revisit childhood memories?"
"Sure."
Liu Mingrui leaned on the second-floor corridor, her face breaking into a smile.
......
By evening, Caiying had finished work.
However, the group chat named "Protect President Su Campaign" that some Caiying employees had created earlier was buzzing with activity.
The content was, of course, a verbal condemnation of Gu Chenan's playboy behavior.
Originally, everyone thought Gu Chenan only had Hoshino Kannon as a mistress, but unexpectedly, there was also the young Bai Yutian.
At once, everyone's anger toward Gu Chenan's behavior reached its peak.
"Did everyone see the young lady Mr. Gu brought today?"
"Yes, it's too much! Does Mr. Gu think our President Su is stupid? He keeps bringing other women to President Su's office!"
"That girl is so young, could she have been deceived by Mr. Gu?"
"Who knows, but whatever the case, we can't let President Su remain in the dark. Everyone keep an eye out, and if you see Mr. Gu with either of these two women, take photos and videos immediately!"
"Right, we must get crucial evidence!"
Just as everyone was discussing, a message popped up.
"Brothers, I saw Mr. Gu!"
Seeing this message, countless people inquired.
"Where did you see him? Who was Mr. Gu with?"
"With whom?"
"Take a photo, take a photo."
"When we got off work, President Su was with those two girls, so Mr. Gu should be alone, right?"
The person remained quiet in the group for a while, then moments later posted a photo that made everyone's eyes widen.
In the photo, against the deep blue background of the aquarium, Gu Chenan was holding Liu Mingrui's hand as they leaned against the glass, watching a tiger shark in the distance.
Instantly, the entire group chat erupted.
"Damn, isn't that the actress who shot our commercial?"
"Hell, I always felt something was off between Young Master Gu and Miss Liu, now we have solid proof!"
"I just want to ask, is there any justice? Any heaven's law? President Su, Miss Liu, the Japanese girl, and today's young lady - they're all undoubtedly beautiful women. Are they all Mr. Gu's?"
"Although we couldn't get intimate photos of Mr. Gu with those two girls, this one will do. Quick, record a video, we'll show it to President Su tomorrow!"
"Yes, exactly! Now that we have concrete evidence, President Su will surely see Mr. Gu's true nature!"
"This is too much, really too much. We must help President Su stay away from this playboy Mr. Gu!"

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. ...

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.
