Tang Yu carried Su Muyue home with an exasperated expression on his face.
Tang Gangcheng frowned and scolded, "How much alcohol did you make Muyue drink? Why is she this drunk?"
"She wanted to drink herself. She couldn't handle it after just three drinks."
"Bullshit! Muyue never goes to places like that to drink. Don't think I can't see through your intentions, boy."
Tang Gangcheng berated him harshly. Being men themselves, how could he not see through this kid's obvious motives?
"..."
Tang Yu felt like crying. Couldn't his old man see all the lipstick marks on his face? It's not like he pressed his face against hers himself!
After returning home, Tang's Mother helped support Su Muyue.
"I'll take Muyue to rest in your room first. And you, young man, are not allowed to take her drinking again."
"Let Muyue rest in the guest room. Why send her to his room?" Tang Gangcheng said disapprovingly.
His wife was perfect in every way except that she spoiled their son too much. Even this arranged marriage was strongly pushed by her at home, otherwise he wouldn't have had the face to agree to it.
Tang's Mother smiled and nodded, understanding her husband's meaning.
Tang Gangcheng then looked at Tang Yu and spoke earnestly, "I know you've liked her for years, but some things can't be rushed. It has to be her own choice."
"If you try any more tricks, I'll break all three of your legs."
"You're overthinking it, Dad. I really have no interest in her."
"Then who are you interested in? Wang's Daughter? Or Qin's Kexin?"
Tang Gangcheng raised an eyebrow as he asked.
"..."
Tang Yu felt like either choice would lead to a dead end.
Among the four major families besides the Tang Family, the other three families all had beauties who had caught Ye Chen's eye.
You could say that guy conquered the three major families by dating their daughters.
This was the most ridiculous part of these wish-fulfillment novels.
How could these prestigious families have no shame? How could they tolerate their precious daughters serving one man alongside other women, while also pouring all their family resources into him?
What nonsense!
After being lectured by his father while getting his ear pulled for quite a while, Tang Yu finally escaped a beating.
Back in his room, after washing up, he lay down on his million-dollar bed and fell into a sweet sleep.
The life of the rich was just so plain and boring.
...
After Tang's Mother left the guest room, Su Muyue, who had appeared to be asleep, slowly opened her eyes.
She had sobered up by now.
Or rather, she hadn't been as drunk as she appeared from the start.
In the car earlier, although she was drunk, she still had her wits about her.
But under the influence of alcohol, she didn't want to stay so rational.
She wanted to follow her instincts and do things she normally wouldn't dare to do, say things she normally wouldn't dare to say.
She tried to be like him, taking off her mask.
But now that she was completely sober, thinking back made her feel quite embarrassed.
She had only wanted to talk to him, how did it end up with her... kissing him on her own initiative?
"Great, I won't be able to face anyone tomorrow."
She covered her burning face and let out a soft sigh. She really shouldn't have drunk alcohol.
Thinking about this, she tossed and turned in bed until around three in the morning before finally falling asleep.
Early the next morning, a knock on the door woke her from her dreams.
"Muyue, are you up? It's time for breakfast."
Tang's Mother's voice came from outside the door.
"Yes, Auntie."
Su Muyue rubbed her bleary eyes and responded, reluctantly getting up to wash up.
Due to her poor sleep, the dark circles under her eyes were quite noticeable.
When she walked out, she ran into Tang Yu, who was wearing his pajamas.
Tang Yu was full of energy, but his expression turned strange when he saw Su Muyue.
He casually greeted her, "Morning."
[Why is this woman staring at me? Did she remember what happened last night?]
[Sigh, what a drunk. I'm never drinking with her again, or I won't be able to protect my pure and innocent self.]
Hearing Tang Yu's thoughts, Su Muyue's face began to burn again as she remembered what happened in the car last night.
She couldn't quite meet Tang Yu's eyes and just mumbled a "morning" before hurrying ahead with her head down.
[Perfect! This is how you should act, keep being distant with me, okay?]
[A female lead should act like a female lead. I'll graciously forgive you for yesterday's incident.]
Tang Yu followed behind her, feeling quite pleased. This woman finally seemed to be acting normal.
When they arrived at the dining table, breakfast was already prepared.
Today's breakfast was personally prepared by Tang's Mother early in the morning; she hadn't even let the cook help.
After all, this was her future daughter-in-law's first breakfast at their home, so special treatment was warranted.
"Good morning, Uncle and Auntie."
Su Muyue greeted Tang Gangcheng and his wife.
"Good morning, Muyue."
They both smiled and returned her greeting in unison.
They were quite satisfied with Su Muyue - she was beautiful and capable.
It's just that her personality was... a bit cold, making their son chase after her like a lovesick puppy for three years.
Tang Yu also greeted everyone before sitting down and helping himself to a plate of steamed buns.
"What are you doing? Don't just eat by yourself, serve some food for Muyue!"
Seeing Tang Yu eating on his own, Tang's Mother was displeased.
"She can get whatever she wants herself. She's not a child."
Tang Yu said with a pout.
[There's no way I'm serving her food. Never going to happen in this lifetime.]
[She can eat if she wants to, if not, whatever. I'm not Cao Cao, I have no interest in taking care of someone else's harem.]
[Women! They'll only get in the way of me surviving until the grand finale!]
Hearing Tang Yu's thoughts, Su Muyue suddenly felt her teeth itch with annoyance.
This bastard - it's just serving some food! It's not like it would kill him!
She put on an apologetic expression and said softly:
"It's alright, Uncle and Auntie. I can serve myself. I'm really sorry for causing trouble by drinking too much yesterday."
"Don't worry about it. It's all this worthless boy's fault for making you drink. Next time if he forces you to drink, tell Uncle and I'll beat him up."
Tang Gangcheng said with a kind smile.
"It really wasn't me who made her drink! You can ask Qin Ming if you don't believe me."
Tang Yu exclaimed in disbelief. He had become the professional scapegoat now, hadn't he?
"It's true, I was the one who insisted on drinking with him. It's my fault, Uncle, please don't scold him."
Su Muyue said with a guilty expression, biting her lip.
Her words made Tang Gangcheng and his wife even more pleased with her.
Look how considerate and understanding their future daughter-in-law was.
She would even lie to prevent their son from being scolded.
[Damn it, you evil woman, you're putting on an act again?]
[Now you're trying to win over my parents? For heaven's sake, is all this acting really necessary?]
[I get it, you're trying to manipulate me. You don't want to take the blame for breaking off the engagement, so you're setting me up to take the fall?]
[You scheming woman, fine, I admit defeat!]
After pondering for a while, Tang Yu finally figured it out.
After finishing a steamed bun, he spoke up.
"Dad, Mom, as you can see, we don't really get along. I think maybe this arranged marriage should..."
Before he could finish speaking, Tang Gangcheng had already pulled out his belt and was glaring at Tang Yu.
"What were you saying?"
Tang Yu wisely swallowed the rest of his sentence.
Early in the morning wasn't really the best time to get a beating.
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
g Yu was preparing for retirement when her organization decided to eliminate her. She transmigrated to a zombie apocalypse world. However, a tiny unexpected situation occurred: She somehow transformed into an adorable little girl?!
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
