As soon as these words were spoken, Jun Zilan was momentarily speechless. Yes, indeed.
If the Gu Family was just a small clan, the master probably wouldn't have gone looking for a husband from the mundane world.
Alas, the master has sacrificed so much for the plan. It would have been enough for Bai Lian to seduce such a man.
The master truly is the master. Is it because she didn't want her subordinates to endure such suffering that she took on the task herself?
Master, you truly love us!
Mei Xue didn't know what Jun Zilan was thinking, but most importantly, she couldn't let him report this matter to the master.
After all, her original task was supposed to be to protect Gu Yan.
Sure enough, the next second, Jun Zilan asked, "Does the master know about this? Does she know you didn't protect Gu Yan but instead protected Miss Ling'er?"
As he spoke, Jun Zilan opened his folding fan and said proudly, "Not to mention anything else, with me guarding Miss Ling'er, her safety is guaranteed."
Mei Xue shook her head, "The master doesn't know about this, but I also hope you don't say anything."
"What? The master doesn't know?"
Jun Zilan was stunned, about to say something, when Mei Xue continued, "The master sent me to protect Gu Yan out of concern that he might die."
"But he has a master-level expert protecting him, so he doesn't need us innate martial artists. Miss Ling'er is different."
"Miss Ling'er is the master's only sister. With only you by her side, to be honest, I'm not very reassured."
"The others are too busy with their own missions, so I believe protecting Miss Ling'er, the master's only family member, is far more important than protecting someone with a master-level expert by their side."
"For example, if Gu Yan, this mere mortal from the mundane world, dies, the master probably wouldn't care at all."
"But... if Miss Ling'er dies, everything will be over. At least, I think the master would be extremely heartbroken."
"If you tell the master about this, she will definitely order me to protect Gu Yan again, but what if something happens to Miss Ling'er then?"
"Can you bear that responsibility? The master entrusted Miss Ling'er to you because she trusts your strength."
"But with the current turbulent situation, the Black Tortoise Gate has targeted Miss Ling'er's classmate as their heir. Is this a coincidence or a premeditated move? Do you dare to bet you can handle everything?"
"Not to mention, according to my investigation, Miss Ling'er's best friend is Miss Bai of the Bai Family, whose brother is the most talented master in the Martial Arts Department."
"If the Martial Arts Department discovers Miss Ling'er's connection with us, the [Night]..."
At this point, Jun Zilan was already feeling conflicted. Hearing Mei Xue's reasoning, it seemed that if multiple forces attacked together, he alone wouldn't be able to protect Miss Ling'er.
Moreover, he had his own considerations. If he told the master that he might not be able to handle it alone, it could lower the master's trust and favor towards him...
Ugh! That would be terrible!
Jun Zilan's face turned pale.
He quickly nodded in agreement, "You're right, I agree with your point."
"However, I didn't expect that mundane man to actually care about protecting Miss Ling'er... This makes me a bit unsure of him."
Seeing this, Mei Xue breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, she had managed to convince him.
Gu Yan... this time, it's still me who saved you.
If the master knew your true face, she would probably order your immediate execution.
Thinking of the master, Mei Xue felt an overwhelming sense of heartache.
The master has sacrificed so much for the plan, even pretending to be in love with that man. Sigh...
Master, please rest assured, we subordinates will become stronger as soon as possible and help you take over the Gu Family!!
......
......
Time slowly passed, and half a month later.
While waiting for the plot to unfold, Gu Yan had been staying at the Leng Family, living a loving life with Leng Qingqiu.
He prepared three meals a day with care, and massages were a daily routine.
In just half a month, Leng Qingqiu had grown accustomed to having Gu Yan around.
For example, right now, on the sofa.
"Gu Yan~ Ah~~"
Leng Qingqiu, wearing a little bear pajama, lay on the sofa with her feet swaying, her mouth open.
"Alright, alright, do you want to eat some fruit?"
Gu Yan, wearing an apron, walked over with a toothpick holding a grape, feeding it to Leng Qingqiu's mouth.
"Mmm, delicious!"
"Of course, it was specially airlifted."
Gu Yan smirked and then went to clean up elsewhere.
After half a month of cohabitation, the relationship between the two seemed to be gradually warming up.
So much so that... Leng Qingqiu seemed to have forgotten something important.
"It tastes good, we can buy more next time..."
"Mmm..."
"!!!!!"
As Leng Qingqiu ate, her expression suddenly changed.
Wait! How long has it been since I attended any organization meetings or activities?!
Leng Qingqiu thought of this and broke out in a cold sweat. It's over.
Because of the past half month of being taken care of so meticulously by Gu Yan, she almost became a comfortable worm that didn't want to do anything!
And because she had been spending all her time with Gu Yan, she had no opportunity to sneak out and act as the [Night King].
Leng Qingqiu's expression grew heavy. Even her usual favorite study spot, the study, was neglected, and her learning progress had fallen behind.
She covered her face, sinking into deep self-doubt. Is this also part of Gu Yan's plan?
To prevent me from taking over the Gu Family, so you want to turn me into a useless person?!
Never!
Leng Qingqiu regained her resolve. She finally understood what she should do!
Revenge!
That's what she should focus on now!!
"That's right... you can no longer tempt me."
Leng Qingqiu muttered to herself, just as she was about to get up.
Gu Yan, with a kind expression, walked over, "Qingqiu, don't move. Next is the health massage; it can help to unblock the meridians."
Massage?!
Leng Qingqiu's heart skipped a beat, feeling conflicted.
No, no, Leng Qingqiu, you've become too lazy.
Have you become so decadent because of the comfortable life in this warm nest?!
She took a deep breath, "I refu..."
Before she could finish, Gu Yan started massaging her lower back.
Leng Qingqiu collapsed onto the sofa, unable to move.
Forget it, I'll finish the massage first.
Half an hour later, Leng Qingqiu, with a rosy complexion, sat up on the sofa.
She stretched her body, hmm~~ not bad, not bad.
Gu Yan's technique is really comfortable, I wonder where he learned it.
However, next, I must do something serious. If I keep indulging in this warm nest, it will affect my judgment on many things.
Alright, time to study in the study. No matter what Gu Yan does next, I won't...
Just as she thought this, sniff sniff~
Leng Qingqiu seemed to smell something sweet. She subconsciously looked towards the kitchen.
Then she saw Gu Yan carrying a tray over.
Gu Yan, seeing Leng Qingqiu recover, smiled and walked over with the tray.
On it was a caramel pudding made with divine culinary skills, using top-tier ingredients purchased from the system.
Gu Yan sat beside Leng Qingqiu, scooping a spoonful and feeding it to her, "Qingqiu, this is today's afternoon tea. Open your mouth."
It's pudding! Damn it, it's another one of my favorites!
Is this also part of your plan?
Leng Qingqiu was shocked, unable to believe Gu Yan could always hit her weak spot.
Damn it, since it's pudding, I can't waste it.
"Ah~"
And so, Gu Yan began his feeding duty for the day.
[Pure Love Object is very satisfied, +600 points~]
[Pure Love Object is very content, +1000 points~]
[Pure Love Object...]
Hearing the system's notifications in his mind, Gu Yan's lips curled slightly.
Good, as long as Qingqiu likes it. And now, half a month has passed.
The plot... is about to begin.
Gu Yan's eyes flashed with a mysterious glint.
There's going to be a lot of work ahead.
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
