"Brother-in-law, how (munch munch) did you make (munch munch) these chicken legs so delicious (munch munch)?"
At the dining table.
Leng Ling'er puffed her cheeks as she spoke to Gu Yan.
Moved! Happy! It's good to be alive!
Leng Ling'er felt like crying inside.
Finally, she got to taste this again.
Leng Qingqiu felt a little annoyed, as if this implied she hadn’t been taking good care of Ling'er all this time.
"Ling'er, can’t you mind your manners a little?"
Leng Qingqiu frowned slightly, displeased at seeing her younger sister like this.
Though she couldn’t see her face clearly, just the sound of Leng Ling'er’s voice was enough for Leng Qingqiu to picture her current state.
"Oh..."
Leng Ling'er reluctantly toned it down.
Gu Yan chuckled. "If the kid loves eating, just let her enjoy it."
"Here, Qingqiu, I made some for you too."
"It’s a bit late, so consider it a midnight snack."
Actually, he didn’t even need to say it.
Leng Qingqiu had already stuffed a few cream puffs into her mouth.
She licked her lips, feeling her whole body go soft and relaxed!
Mmm~~!
This! This is the taste of happiness!
Munch munch~~
It’s been so long since she last had this!
Leng Qingqiu quietly ate her cream puffs while Gu Yan watched her from the side.
Leng Ling'er sulked—Hmph! Sis, you’re no better! You’ve lost all composure thanks to Brother-in-law’s cooking too!
Tsk. Women!
Gu Yan stared for a while before he couldn’t resist reaching out and pinching Leng Qingqiu’s cheek lightly.
Honestly, the texture was amazing.
"?"
Leng Qingqiu noticed the intrusion. Still eating her dessert, she turned her head in confusion. "What?"
Seemingly used to being herself around Gu Yan, she had her eyes open this time.
But unlike when Xiao Leng appeared, Leng Qingqiu’s eyes...
Were a misty gray.
Hearing her question, Gu Yan withdrew his hand and smiled gently. "Nothing. I just think you’re really cute, Qingqiu."
"Especially when you’re eating."
"W-what nonsense are you saying...?"
Leng Qingqiu’s face instantly flushed red. She covered her mouth with a cream puff, hiding her rising smile.
Then she picked up another one and handed it to Gu Yan. "Here, have one."
"Heh, then I’ll gratefully accept it."
"Hmph! Then you’d better be really grateful!"
Leng Ling'er, still eating, quickly caught onto the mood at the table.
She cleared her throat and stood up. "Brother-in-law, Sis, I’m done eating. I’m going to bed now."
"I have school tomorrow."
With that, she gave Gu Yan a knowing thumbs-up before hurrying upstairs.
Gu Yan returned the gesture.
Ah, my sister-in-law, you truly understand me!
Once Leng Ling'er left, the atmosphere between Gu Yan and Leng Qingqiu grew even more intimate.
"Qingqiu, Ling'er’s gone."
"Mhm? And?"
Leng Qingqiu pretended not to understand, though her cream puff-eating pace slowed down noticeably.
Gu Yan shifted closer, pressing against her side.
His unique scent filled Leng Qingqiu’s senses, making her heart skip a beat. Just as she was about to scoot away—
Gu Yan wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her back. His deep, magnetic voice whispered into her ear, "And then..."
"Shouldn’t we, as a married couple, do some... evening activities?"
Leng Qingqiu froze—Plop!
The cream puff in her hand fell onto the table. Her ears turned pink. "E-evening activities? Like what?"
"You tell me, Qingqiu. You look so beautiful in your pajamas..."
"The scent of you fresh out of the bath has me all worked up."
"If... if only..."
Gu Yan’s voice grew softer with each word.
Leng Qingqiu listened, her heart pounding.
If... if only what?
The next second—
"Ah!! I can’t hold back anymore, Qingqiu!!"
Sniff sniff~ Sniff sniff~ Sniff sniff~~!!!
"People sniff cats, but let me sniff you instead!! Sniff sniff sniff!!"
"If I can do this without you getting mad, I’d die happy!!"
Unable to restrain himself any longer, Gu Yan pulled Leng Qingqiu into a tight embrace, burying his face in her neck and showering her with kisses and sniffs.
"!!!!"
"!!! Get lost!!"
Leng Qingqiu was instantly overwhelmed with embarrassment and irritation.
She realized she’d been far too naive about Gu Yan’s limits.
You can never... ever predict what this pervert will do next.
......
......
"Qingqiu, my Qingqiu, I’m sorry..."
"It’s just been so long since we’ve been close."
Outside Leng Qingqiu’s door, Gu Yan pressed against it, sticking his head in to apologize.
"Hmph!"
Leng Qingqiu scoffed and pushed his head back out. "Pervert!"
Slam!
The door shut.
Leng Qingqiu leaned against it, clutching her chest.
She took a deep breath.
Unbelievable. All that romantic atmosphere was completely ruined by his perverted antics!
Honestly...
I was actually looking forward to what he’d do next...
Leng Qingqiu bit her lip lightly. But...
Only she knew the real reason she’d run away.
Because...
She was too embarrassed (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄).
That’s why she couldn’t handle Gu Yan’s shameless behavior.
If it was just a kiss, she could manage.
But anything more...
Her mind drifted to the relationship articles she’d read online.
Just imagining the things couples did in those stories—
"Ugh..."
Leng Qingqiu covered her face and slowly slid down the door, crouching on the floor.
No way!! Absolutely no way I can handle that!!
[Other Me, you just let go of a chance to grow stronger...]
[I could feel it—just a little more, and your perception would’ve leveled up.]
Suddenly, Xiao Leng’s voice echoed faintly in Leng Qingqiu’s mind.
Huh?
She’d almost forgotten about Xiao Leng.
Her guard instantly went up. "Xiao Leng, what do you mean by that?"
[Nothing much.]
"Really? Well, let me tell you something—even if you can leave my body, I’ve already taken precautions."
"I’ve reinforced the barrier around my inner self with the Night King’s power."
"So there’s no way you can escape from me now!!"
Leng Qingqiu declared confidently. The Night King was a master of manipulating souls, after all.
Using the power of darkness to seal away her alternate personality was child’s play.
[........]
Xiao Leng fell silent.
She had noticed her current predicament. So my other self is this wary because of what happened last time...
But... heh, what a shame...
Meanwhile, Leng Qingqiu smirked when she sensed Xiao Leng’s frustration.
With the triumphant smile of a victor, he said, "You resent me, Leng Qingqiu, because you're too dangerous. Staying within me is your safest haven."
As he spoke...
Perhaps it was time.
Leng Qingqiu also felt a wave of exhaustion. She let out a yawn.
And so, she settled into a deep, restful night's sleep.
After all, skincare comes first.
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."
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.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system?

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!
