"Mm! I want to cultivate with you. I really want to improve," Chen Ningshuang said earnestly.
"You see~ why the rush?" Jiang Che, now in control, acted like a big shot as Chen Ningshuang came to him willingly.
"You... I’ve already completely surrendered to you. What more do you want?"
"No, no, no. You’re a bit late. I’ve got a lot of girls around me, and I’m a bit overwhelmed. This afternoon, I’m taking Yao Yao out on a date. In the evening, I’m having a candlelit dinner with Sister Feifei... and at night, I’ll be helping Wan'er and Dong'er improve their skills."
"You... I’m afraid you won’t be able to squeeze in anytime soon."
Chen Ningshuang: "......"
Looking at Jiang Che’s smug expression, she really wanted to hit him!
She knew very well that Jiang Che wasn’t actually busy. He was just being a jerk.
After successfully manipulating her, he had now left her hanging.
"You’ll get struck by lightning one day."
"That would make me so happy. I heard that when one reaches the pinnacle of martial arts, it triggers celestial phenomena, and heavenly lightning refines the body. So, in a way, you’re wishing me an early breakthrough... Thanks!"
Jiang Che chuckled and, as he passed by Chen Ningshuang, gave her round butt a firm slap.
The sensation... was just so smooth!
The once aloof Chen Ningshuang had now surrendered to him. For these high-and-mighty women, the right approach was all it took.
Suddenly, Jiang Che remembered the cold and detached girl Shen Yu, who was bound to the "Genius System," whom he had met a couple of days ago.
Although this girl appeared icy and otherworldly, Jiang Che still had a way to break through her defenses.
From the moment he first saw Shen Yu, he knew... she was a pure girl, her eyes only reflecting pure knowledge.
To win over such a girl, threats or bribes wouldn’t work. Shen Yu was unfazed by material things, having nothing to lose.
For a genius like her, all you needed was to impress her with your intellect, and she would soon fall for you.
So, Jiang Che planned to let this little genius experience the academic dominance of another world!
......
Jiang Che wasn’t actually lying. He was indeed quite busy. The date he had promised Ye Mengyao couldn’t be skipped.
After all, she was one of his women now, and he couldn’t neglect her too much.
The same went for Qin Qiaoqiao and the others!
He occasionally made time to spend with each girl individually to deepen their relationships.
"Drink... I want more!" Ye Mengyao actually dragged Jiang Che out for drinks.
After spending the afternoon with the little girl, they went out drinking in the evening.
And Ye Mengyao’s alcohol tolerance and drinking manners were clearly not up to par.
After just a few drinks, she was already drunk and collapsed into his arms.
"Jiang Che... can we not go home? Just hold me like this... tighter."
"Can you kiss me? Kiss me on the lips!"
Jiang Che looked down at the girl in his arms. Ye Mengyao’s mental state was off... though she hid these thoughts deep within, even Jiang Che’s "Heart-Reading" couldn’t penetrate the deepest parts of her heart.
As the young lady of the Ye family, how could she possibly be content with sharing him with other girls?
Whether it was her dark turn at her 18th birthday party or her active attempts to seduce him, it was all a manifestation of her inner conflict. In truth, Ye Mengyao’s mentality... was almost like that of a little girl.
"Here, you’re mine alone. But when we go home... you don’t want me anymore. You just bully me..."
"Jiang Che... I’ve always known. You like Wan'er, not me... You only like my body."
As she spoke, Ye Mengyao’s eyes turned red, resembling a rabbit that had been thoroughly bullied.
"You know what? I regret it so much. You should’ve been mine alone, but I lost you..."
The girl clung to Jiang Che’s arm, pouring out all the thoughts she had kept hidden deep inside.
Her cheeks were flushed from the alcohol, and even her neck had turned red. Tears fell like raindrops.
Jiang Che sighed helplessly and simply held Ye Mengyao’s shoulders a little tighter.
He swore that initially, he had only wanted to be a super playboy, adhering to the principle of not taking initiative, not rejecting, and not taking responsibility.
But he did have feelings for Ye Mengyao.
"Jiang Che, there are more and more girls around you. Will you abandon me?"
"Wuwuwu~ I want to have a child with you."
The heavily intoxicated girl was even starting to babble, and her words nearly shocked Jiang Che.
He gently stroked Ye Mengyao’s head and didn’t say anything more. He had too many romantic entanglements now, and it was inevitable that some girls would feel neglected.
Although he held the title of "Harem Master," the girls were all real people, not NPCs. They each had their own thoughts and feelings.
Just then, the phone rang.
It was Gu Lingfei. "Xiao Che, I’m off work. Which restaurant should we book? I’ll change into something stunning tonight, guaranteed to blow you away."
Jiang Che: "......"
Looking at the young lady sobbing softly in his arms, he felt a headache coming on. The time management master had crashed and burned!
In his original plan, the afternoon was reserved for Ye Mengyao, and the evening was for a candlelit dinner with Gu Lingfei.
Who could’ve predicted that Ye Mengyao would drag him out for drinks? And then the girl would cry all night?
"Sister Feifei, I think I’ve been neglecting Yao Yao lately. She’s clinging to me and crying... Let’s postpone the candlelit dinner for a couple of days. I’ll cook for you myself then."
Jiang Che even snapped a photo of Ye Mengyao, her face tear-streaked and pitiful.
In Jiang Che’s world, there was no such thing as a love triangle. Sincerity was the ultimate weapon!
He knew Gu Lingfei’s personality well.
Sure enough, seeing Ye Mengyao cry so miserably, Gu Lingfei’s heart softened.
"Xiao Che, spend more time with Yao Yao. She’s just a young girl who fell for a scoundrel like you on her first love."
"Sister Feifei, you were my first love too. Aren’t you jealous?"
"Do I look like someone who’d be jealous of a little girl?" Gu Lingfei teased.
"Sister Feifei, I love you."
On the other end, Gu Lingfei hung up the phone and smiled wryly.
She glanced down at the evening gown she had already put on. Dressed in a stunning purple gown, Gu Lingfei looked absolutely breathtaking, having even applied light makeup, resembling a bride about to walk down the aisle.
"Fine, I’ll let it slide this time for Yao Yao’s sake. But next time... if you dare stand me up again? Hmph..."
