In the past, of course I couldn't, but...
Don't I have a system now?
Gu Yan held the hand of the visibly disgusted Leng Qingqiu, who resisted a bit but gave up when she couldn't break free. He said with great emotion: "I learned this especially for Qingqiu."
"I've imagined this scene for a long time."
"I'd cook for you at home, and when you come back tired from work, I'd give you a massage and rub your back."
"On weekends, we'd drink tea in the yard, admire flowers, and maybe do some outdoor barbecue when we're free."
"And then..."
Leng Ling'er couldn't bear to listen anymore. She forcefully separated Gu Yan's hand from Leng Qingqiu's, then glared at Gu Yan and complained: "Hey! Aren't you just saying you'll be a house husband while my sister goes out to work and earn money?!"
"Are you even a man?!"
Leng Qingqiu found it somewhat amusing too. This guy, how different he was from other men.
Other men would say things like wanting to support you for life to gain favor, but with Gu Yan, it was the complete opposite?
Hearing this, Gu Yan smirked and looked at Leng Ling'er as if she was an idiot: "Isn't that obvious? My Qingqiu is incredibly talented. If a dimwit like me went out to earn money, I might end up bankrupting the entire Gu Family."
"Of course, it's only natural for my Qingqiu to take charge."
Leng Ling'er was left speechless by these words. He was clearly praising my sister, so why did it make me so angry?
And what's with this 'my Qingqiu'? It's only your second day in a relationship, okay?! Don't act like you're so close!
Leng Qingqiu was also amused by Gu Yan's words. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, but thinking that it wouldn't be good if this dog of a man saw it, she quickly suppressed her smile.
[Pure love target feels happy, +1 point]
Hearing the prompt in his mind, Gu Yan smiled inwardly.
Not bad, not bad. At this rate, his favorability with Leng Qingqiu would skyrocket!
Thinking of this, he cleared his throat: "Well, it's getting late. I'll go back to cooking."
"Qingqiu, you read for a while. I'll call you when it's ready."
As he spoke, he gently led Leng Qingqiu by the hand to the desk.
Leng Qingqiu was clearly uncomfortable being treated this way, so she frowned slightly and said in a resistant tone: "I can walk by myself."
Hearing this, Gu Yan certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity for legitimate physical contact, so he said righteously: "No way. If I wasn't here, that would be fine, but since I am, I can't let anything happen to you, Qingqiu."
"What if you trip and fall like yesterday? That would be terrible!"
"You! You dare mention yesterday! Let go of me quickly!"
Leng Qingqiu was furious, her mind flashing back to the embarrassing scene from yesterday. This bastard!!
While bantering with Leng Qingqiu, Gu Yan had led her to the desk. Only then did he reluctantly let go of her hand and say: "Alright, alright, I've let go. I'll go downstairs now."
With that, he quickly left the study without waiting for Leng Qingqiu's response.
That bastard!
Leng Qingqiu's chest heaved up and down. How could there be such an infuriating bastard!
Such an annoying man! But...
He's now downstairs cooking for us. Even though he's the young master of the Gu Family, he's personally cooking...
Leng Qingqiu felt something indescribable in her heart.
Massaging her, helping her sit at the desk, putting aside his status to cook for the two sisters...
This, this, this...
Hiss, don't overthink it, Leng Qingqiu took a deep breath.
She gradually calmed herself down.
All of this was Gu Yan's own initiative. She didn't ask him to do it.
That's right... she couldn't have that ridiculous feeling of gratitude.
Emotions were the biggest stumbling block on her path to revenge.
Leng Ling'er, seeing her sister seemingly pondering something and looking quite pained, wore an indignant expression.
Damn that small fry Gu, it's all because of your appearance that my sister is suffering so much.
I'm so angry! Even though you and my sister are betrothed, even though you're nominally my brother-in-law, even though that's the case...
But... but...
"Sis..."
Just as Leng Ling'er was about to say something, she was interrupted by Leng Qingqiu: "Ling'er, go to the kitchen and help Gu Yan. We don't want him thinking that everyone in the Leng Family is lazy and only knows how to eat."
Leng Ling'er's expression froze, then her small mouth opened: "Huh?"
......
......
In the kitchen.
"So, this is how you're helping me?"
Gu Yan looked helplessly at Leng Ling'er, who was standing nearby with red-rimmed eyes, listlessly stirring eggshells and egg liquid in a bowl.
Hearing this, Leng Ling'er became angry.
Sniff!
Leng Ling'er sniffled, glaring fiercely at Gu Yan: "It's all because of you! Because of guys like you, my sister... my sister has changed!!"
She burst into tears as she said this, then angrily raised her small fist and pounded on Gu Yan's chest: "To think I have to help a man like you!!"
"I'll beat you to death, beat you to death, you, you, you... Wah!"
Her words were suddenly cut off.
Leng Ling'er's crying stopped abruptly, her eyes widening slightly, because Gu Yan had stuffed something into her mouth.
It was hot and a bit big. She instinctively began to chew.
In an instant, an unexpectedly delicious flavor exploded from her taste buds and spread throughout her mouth.
Leng Ling'er's eyes lit up. She looked up at Gu Yan in disbelief, speaking while eating: "What... what is this? It's so delicious!"
Gu Yan pulled the chopsticks out of Leng Ling'er's mouth, then rinsed them under cold water. Without turning around, he replied: "Spicy rabbit meat."
"Oh, so it's rabbit meat."
Leng Ling'er nodded, and then...
"Ra... rabbit meat?!!"
Leng Ling'er was shocked. She looked to the side in disbelief and saw a cooked and plated spicy rabbit lying quietly there.
Her vision went dark, and she nearly fainted.
Gu Yan, washing the utensils with his back to Leng Ling'er, revealed a mischievous smile.
Hehe, you little brat, now you know who's boss.
Time slowly passed.
Leng Ling'er seemed to be constantly sad and guilty about eating the rabbit Gu Yan had cooked, so Gu Yan didn't let her continue helping.
Instead, he told her to go watch some cartoons in the living room.
Leng Ling'er, wearing white short socks, sat cross-legged on the sofa, glumly watching a gangster cartoon on TV.
She hugged a huge white rabbit plush toy, muttering: "Bastard, jerk, small fry scum, rabbits are so cute, how could you eat rabbits!"
Leng Ling'er once again refreshed her perception of Gu Yan.
At this moment, a sound came from upstairs.
"I can walk by myself, you don't need to keep supporting me."
"No way, going downstairs is no small matter. If I could, I'd carry you down."
"Carry? I'm not a child anymore! Gu Yan, don't be so exaggerated!"
"Unmarried women are all children."
"You!"
Leng Qingqiu was being tightly supported by Gu Yan as they came downstairs. She could even feel Gu Yan's warm breath and the faint fragrance from his body.
How could a man smell so good?
No, no, no, saying that unmarried women are all children.
This... this... this is outrageous. I'm the actual behind-the-scenes person of the Leng Family, yet he treats me like a child!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"

s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...
