"Not sincere enough!"
Jiang Che shook his head with a smile.
Yu Wan'er was so angry that she gritted her teeth, and even her usually droopy hair stood on end.
"Jiang Che, I love you, okay?" The little girl blushed as she spoke.
"Not loud enough!"
Yu Wan'er, frustrated and flustered, threw herself into Jiang Che's arms and planted a quick kiss on his cheek, puffing out her cheeks. "Is this enough now?"
She felt like she had no backbone, being so easily controlled by Jiang Che.
"Alright, alright, sweetheart, get off me now. We'll head to your place later to visit your mom."
Yu Wan'er: "..."
Is this what men are like? Changing their tune so quickly!
Not long after Jiang Che and Yu Wan'er left, a snow-white cat emerged from the closet.
"Meow~~~"
Su Mianmian was feeling extremely uncomfortable, her whole body burning as if on fire.
[Oh no, am I in heat?]
[I knew it! I can't stay around Jiang Che for too long.]
[They say you become like the company you keep, but who knew watching too much live-action cat stuff could make a cat go into heat?]
Su Mianmian grabbed her phone, unlocked it with her tiny paw, and started tapping furiously on the screen with her claws.
Question: How can a cat in heat solve the problem on her own?
Answer: Find a male cat, or several.
Su Mianmian: "..."
Screw that! She'd rather die than find some random tomcat!
"Meow meow meow~~~"
[Now I get why female cats in heat make such a fuss. Ugh~~~]
Su Mianmian felt restless, the sensation driving her crazy.
[When will I finally be able to take human form? I can't take this anymore... I need to sneak some of those special fruits.]
Su Mianmian dashed to the spirit field in the courtyard.
Chen Ningshuang was meditating beside the field, completely absorbed in her cultivation.
[Here I come, special fruits!]
Su Mianmian leaped up, ready to snatch a Vermilion Fruit. After all, there were three trees with hundreds of fruits—no one would notice one missing.
But the next second, a pair of small, delicate hands grabbed her tail and yanked her back.
She was then firmly cradled in someone's arms.
A glance to the side revealed a figure in white—none other than Dong'er.
Dong'er seemed to have taken on the role of guardian of the Vermilion Fruit trees, specifically to stop Su Mianmian from stealing the precious fruits.
"The master said you're not allowed to steal them," Dong'er said seriously, her face nuzzling against Su Mianmian's fluffy fur.
Clearly, Dong'er was also a hardcore cat lover!
[I want to transform! When will I finally be able to take human form? I'd rather transform and let Jiang Che have his way with me a few times than suffer like this!]
[Whoever wants to be a cat can have it—I don't want this anymore!]
......
Meanwhile, Jiang Che was unaware that Su Mianmian was in heat.
Otherwise, he would have definitely teased the little female cat.
"Mr. Jiang, you're finally here!"
Thanks to Jiang Che, Yu Weiwei had moved out of the dilapidated slums and now lived in a two-story villa in the suburbs, far from the city center. The yard was filled with meticulously cared-for plants, and she had even adopted over a dozen stray cats.
After her uremia was cured, the bulging veins on her arms had gradually healed.
"Auntie Yu, how's your health these days?"
Yu Weiwei nodded, her smile deepening as she glanced at Jiang Che and Yu Wan'er's intertwined hands.
As a woman, Yu Weiwei had a keen eye.
Not long after Jiang Che and Yu Wan'er had their little "secret," she noticed the changes in her daughter.
But she didn't say anything, as Jiang Che was indeed the most reliable man to entrust her daughter to.
He was wealthy, handsome, and had good manners—unlike other rich playboys who would discard women after getting bored.
For Yu Wan'er, this was the best possible outcome. If it had been some other spoiled rich kid, her daughter's life might have been ruined.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm doing great. I heard Wan'er plans to attend the same university as you?"
"Yes, that's right."
Jiang Che chatted with Yu Weiwei, finding her to be a sharp and insightful woman, though everything she did was for Yu Wan'er's sake.
She was truly a devoted mother.
This reminded Jiang Che of his past life in a foot massage parlor: a gambling father, a sick mother, a younger brother in school, and a broken-hearted girl. Love rose with the clock and lingered when it stopped.
It was once a joke, but when applied to Yu Weiwei, it felt deeply poignant.
"Mr. Jiang, my Wan'er may be 19, but she's still delicate... Please be gentle with her."
Yu Weiwei, noticing Yu Wan'er's somewhat exhausted appearance, gently advised.
"Mom!!! Stop talking!"
Yu Wan'er immediately jumped up in embarrassment, covering Yu Weiwei's mouth.
Her face turned bright red, and the hair on her head stood straight up!
Jiang Che pulled Yu Wan'er into his arms and said, "Auntie, don't worry. We're quite restrained."
[Yeah, right! Restrained my foot! You liar!]
...
When it was time for dinner, Jiang Che even showed off his cooking skills.
"My goodness, Mr. Jiang, you can cook? And it's so delicious!"
Yu Weiwei picked up a piece of spicy chicken, her eyes lighting up.
"Of course! Jiang Che's cooking is top-tier chef level," Yu Wan'er chimed in, her lips curling into a proud smile as if she had achieved something herself.
"My, my, Wan'er has grown up, hasn't she? Already defending her lover?"
Yu Weiwei chuckled, her eyes crinkling with amusement.
"No... That's not it! He's not my lover!"
Ah, the classic tsundere act!
Jiang Che, meanwhile, pulled out his phone and played a recording...
"Jiang Che, I love you!!!"
Yes, he had recorded Yu Wan'er's loud declaration of love earlier.
Now, playing it back... it was the ultimate social embarrassment!
"Jiang Che!!! You recorded that? I'm gonna bite you to death~~~"
Yu Wan'er chomped down on Jiang Che's arm.
Yu Weiwei covered her mouth, smiling contentedly.
These two lovebirds...
Jiang Che was undoubtedly the best match for her daughter, and she could rest easy now.
To her, Yu Wan'er was everything in her life.
After teasing Yu Wan'er for a bit, Jiang Che turned his attention to Yu Weiwei.
He then pulled out two Vermilion Fruits and a Beauty Preservation Pill from his pocket.
"Auntie Yu, these fruits are good for your health. You should try them."
Yu Wan'er was stunned when she saw Jiang Che take out the Vermilion Fruits.
Her eyes grew moist. Having been by Jiang Che's side, she knew the value and potency of these fruits.
In the ancient martial arts world, they were considered priceless treasures, and yet he was willing to give them to her mother?
Yu Weiwei's uremia had just been cured, and with the Vermilion Fruits to nourish her body, there would be no lingering aftereffects.
[You did this on purpose, didn't you? Trying to make me emotional, you bad man!]
This was Jiang Che's open scheme, and Yu Wan'er knew it, but she couldn't help being moved.
Yu Weiwei, unaware of the fruits' true value, accepted them without hesitation, thinking they were similar to ginseng.
"Mom..."
Yu Wan'er watched as her mother took the two Vermilion Fruits, wanting to say something but finding it hard to speak.
"What is it?" Yu Weiwei tilted her head.
"Nothing... it's nothing," the little girl said, lowering her head.
She had realized that she would probably never be able to repay the debt she owed Jiang Che in this lifetime.
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
