After reading the diary, a playful glint flickered in Qi Lin’s dark eyes.
"Qingfeng Community, Building C?"
"System, oh system, you've truly played a brilliant ga."
It turned out that the strange property deed the system had rewarded him with was none other than for Qingfeng Community, Building C.
If Qi Lin had chosen not to save Yan Yan at that ti, then most likely, this house would have been purchased by Jiang Lei instead.
Not only would Qi Xueyao have moved out of the villa, but in the near future, Jiang Lei would have also discovered the more than ten million in cash hidden within the walls.
By investing this money into his training institution, his business would have skyrocketed, and within a few years, he would have beco a billionaire, rising to wealth and status, transforming into a high-profile tycoon.
"I think this system shouldn’t be called the God-Level Choice System but rather the Protagonist Hunter System."
"It seems unintentional, but every single reward is clearly designed to counter the protagonist."
Qi Lin was growing increasingly fond of this system.
"Xueyao, you’ve already given your innocence, where do you think you’re running off to?"
"For all we know, you might already be carrying my child."
"So, you should just settle down and live at my house. Even if you don’t get pregnant this ti, one day, I’ll make sure you’re in my villa holding one child, leading another, and chasing a third until you're exhausted."
Qi Lin smirked wickedly, his lips curling up mischievously.
Early the next morning, Qi Lin and Qi Feng sat at the dining table, enjoying their breakfast.
On the television, an advertisent was playing.
"Jianghan City's Maya Paradise, grand opening! Tickets for individuals at a special price! Couple tickets at half price! The scorching sumr is here, co have the sweetest ti with us!"
Hearing this advertisent, Qi Lin’s heart stirred.
The phrase scorching sumr made him think of soone.
Sumr… Yan Yan?
Would autumn be too late?
Heh.
He had just saved Yan Yan yesterday. In a few days, the excitent of being rescued might start to fade.
That’s why he had to strike while the iron was hot and leave a lasting impression in her heart.
After all, she was the mother of the protagonist, Li Jiaming.
That kind of allure was on a completely different level compared to little girls like Wang Siling and Lan Yuxi.
At this mont, a plan targeting Yan Yan was forming in Qi Lin’s mind.
"Xiao Lin, why is your mom acting so strange lately?"
"Didn’t she dislike that girl Xueyao? But yesterday, she made chicken soup for her, and today, she even prepared breakfast for her?"
At the dining table, Qi Feng looked puzzled as he questioned Qi Lin.
There were so things he could tell his mom, but not his dad.
"I told my mom that Xueyao is already my girlfriend. She probably really wants a grandchild, so she’s trying to fatten her up a little."
Qi Lin made up nonsense effortlessly.
"Xueyao is already your girlfriend? Since when?" Qi Feng was stunned.
"Just yesterday."
Qi Lin replied casually.
"You brat, you’re such a playboy. Didn't you say that sophomore girl yesterday was also your girlfriend? Are you planning to marry both?" Qi Feng chuckled in exasperation.
"Dad, tis have changed. A capable man has one legal wife, and the rest are lovers. Who says they all have to be married?"
"Besides, if a man wants to achieve great things, he needs to have multiple wives and concubines. The greatest warlord in Chinese history, Cao Cao, is the perfect example."
Qi Lin sipped his soy milk and said confidently.
"Then why don’t you learn from Cao Cao’s humility and respect for talented people instead of just learning about his multiple wives? I swear, you never learn the good stuff, only the bad."
Qi Feng held his forehead helplessly.
As a simple, hardworking, and devoted man who had only loved one woman his entire life, he couldn’t understand how he had raised a son as flirtatious as Qi Lin.
"Are you two discussing history? Why is Cao Cao even coming up in conversation?"
Fang Yuanyuan and Qi Xueyao ca downstairs.
In the end, Qi Xueyao still couldn’t get used to being treated so attentively. Blushing, she followed Fang Yuanyuan downstairs for breakfast.
"Yeah, we’re talking about history."
Qi Lin smoothly changed the topic, making sure the two ladies didn’t overhear the glorification of Cao Cao’s affairs.
"Xueyao, Maya Paradise in Jianghan City is opening. Want to go have so fun?"
Qi Lin pointed at the comrcial on the television.
Wave pools.
Vertical vacuum slides.
Extre giant funnels.
Rainbow slides.
Fairyland Castle.
These thrilling attractions had been introduced from overseas to Jianghan City for the first ti.
In the scorching sumr, any young person would be instantly captivated.
Qi Xueyao glanced at the exciting amusent park rides, her beautiful eyes flashing with longing.
But almost imdiately, she rolled her eyes at Qi Lin. "Not going. I just want to stay ho and rest."
After experiencing trauma the night before last, going out to play in a public area now was basically asking to get sick.
Fang Yuanyuan chuckled. "You brat, aren’t you supposed to be helping at the crayfish food festival today?"
Qi Lin lazily replied, "I already demonstrated the process once. If I go again, I’ll just be an extra."
"I’m young, having fun suits more."
Fang Yuanyuan shot him a glare but didn’t say anything more.
As a mother, she still cared for her son. Qi Lin had been exhausted yesterday, so he deserved so rest.
After breakfast, Qi Lin imdiately drove out.
On the way, he called Lan Yuxi.
"Yuxi, have you heard about Maya Paradise opening in Jianghan City?"
"I saw the ad yesterday. What about it?"
"I’m heading there now. Wanna co?"
"What? You’re taking out to play?"
Lan Yuxi, who was still lying in bed, sat up excitedly.
But soon, she pouted. "I might not be able to go. My mom said I have to stay ho on weekends."
Zhou Lina was on guard.
She was preventing this heart-stealing thief, Qi Lin, from taking her daughter’s innocence.
"Your mom should be at work now, right? As long as you’re back on ti, how would she know? Hurry up and co out, or else I’ll just go with another girl."
Qi Lin said teasingly.
"You invited another girl?"
Lan Yuxi’s pout deepened, her delicate face filled with annoyance.
"My enemy’s mother, actually. She’s just like you back then—a poor little thing. I’m starting with her."
"Haven’t you always wanted to join my villainous grand plan? I’m giving you a chance now. Are you in or not?"
"If you join, I might even consider making you my main wife in the future."
Qi Lin grinned.
Lan Yuxi had already been fully conditioned into the dark side by him. She could now be trusted with many things.
He could even use this opportunity to test her loyalty.
Hearing Qi Lin’s words, Lan Yuxi’s eyes glead with a hint of excitent.
Ever since Qi Lin had ruined Wang Cheng’s life, Lan Yuxi had transford into a little demon girl who worshiped the strong.
She had always wanted to know how Qi Lin had slowly driven a wedge between her and Wang Cheng, ultimately snatching her away.
Now, Qi Lin was finally allowing her to personally participate.
How could she not be excited?
"Wow, Qi Lin, you’re so evil! You’re even setting your sights on soone’s mother?"
"How old is your enemy? His mom isn’t, like, forty or fifty, is she?"
Lan Yuxi’s face scrunched up in discomfort.
If Qi Lin had a thing for older won and actually did sothing, she would feel sick just thinking about it.
"What are you saying? She’s his stepmother—gorgeous, too, not inferior to you. She’s only thirty-three."
Qi Lin chuckled.
"Only thirty-three and as beautiful as ?"
Lan Yuxi pouted, feeling a little unconvinced.
She was the campus beauty of Huashi No.1 High School, a one-in-ten-thousand beauty. How could just anyone compare?
"Are you coming or not?"
Qi Lin asked again.
"I... I need to think about it."
Lan Yuxi still felt a little jealous.
"Don't forget, the night before last, you got drunk and played . I still haven't forgiven you. Think carefully about whether I should go or not."
Qi Lin's voice was calm.
She knew she was at fault for this. She had agreed to Qi Lin’s request but ended up getting him drunk instead.
Thinking about it, Lan Yuxi felt a little guilty.
"Forget it. Just consider it as compensation for this scoundrel."
Gritting her teeth, she actually decided to use Yan Yan as compensation for Qi Lin.
Among the female leads, her level of darkness was unrivaled. If she claid second place, no one would dare claim first.
"I'm going to join you in doing bad things!"
Lan Yuxi's crisp voice was filled with mischievous excitent.
On the other end of the phone, Qi Lin could almost imagine little devil horns sprouting from Lan Yuxi’s head.
"Then take a cab to Maya Paradise. I'll see you there."
Qi Lin smiled and hung up.
He then dialed Yan Yan’s number.
"Yan Yan, what are you doing?"
Inside the general manager’s office at Huai Zixin Beauty Hospital, Yan Yan, dressed in a black uniform dress with sheer black stockings, was reviewing docunts.
She had graduated from Tsinghua University’s business managent program and was a true businesswoman. She lived a highly disciplined life, mostly alternating between work and ho.
"Is that you, Qi Lin? What made you think of calling ? I'm at work."
A gentle smile graced Yan Yan’s delicate face, exuding the charm of a mature woman.
"Working so early on a weekend? Yan Yan, you’re working too hard."
"Did you see the Maya Paradise opening advertisent? In this scorching heat, staying inside is just a waste of life."
Qi Lin chuckled.
"Not going out to play is a waste of life?"
It was the first ti Yan Yan had heard such an amusing argunt.
In her world, only not working hard or studying was considered a waste of life. Where did Qi Lin co up with these twisted theories?
She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Yesterday, Li Jiaming had been speaking ill of Qi Lin, saying how he took advantage of Chen Shuyi and was always targeting him.
Yan Yan had started seeing Qi Lin differently.
He was no longer the sunny boy she once thought he was. He had turned into a charming yet roguish troublemaker.
Still, he had risked his life to save her, and the image of his strong, muscular back kept flashing in her mind.
Thinking about it, her face flushed slightly.
"That place is for young people. I’m already in my thirties, it’s not really suitable for . I think I’ll pass."
She politely declined.
Qi Lin had expected this response.
"Yan Yan, that’s not right. Since I call you 'sister' and not 'aunt,' that ans we’re in the sa age group."
"I’ve never been one to lie. If you weren’t married, I would definitely be pursuing you as a stunning beauty in her pri."
"Oh, and if you're worried about the two of us going out alone, there’s no need. I also invited a few of my female classmates."
"That way, you don’t have to worry about any rumors, right?"
Qi Lin chuckled, gently chipping away at her hesitation.
Calling her young, saying he would chase her if she weren’t married, and then casually ntioning other girls—his words left Yan Yan feeling flustered.
Especially when he said he had invited his classmates, it eased her concerns a little.
After thinking for a mont, she walked to the lounge and turned on the television.
The screen was still showing scenes from Maya Paradise.
The thrilling wave pool.
The heart-pounding vertical vacuum slide.
The refreshing giant water funnel.
The enchanting fairyland castle.
Biting her lower lip, Yan Yan realized her desire to go out and have fun was becoming harder to suppress.
In her twenties, she had married Li Zhou out of gratitude because he had saved her father.
After that, she focused on learning business managent.
Li Zhou had lost his ability to have children years ago, and his health had only declined since then.
From the mont she married him, she had resigned herself to a life of loneliness.
Perhaps, if Qi Lin had never appeared, she would have continued living like this, unwavering and determined.
But Qi Lin had risked his life to save her. He was young, charming, and undeniably handso.
The very next day after rescuing her, he invited her out to play. How could she refuse?
This was where Qi Lin’s cleverness lay.
He knew he had to strike while the iron was hot.
He had to subtly guide Yan Yan toward the edge before her emotions settled and reason took over.
If he waited too long, the thrill of being rescued would fade, and she would calm down.
At that point, asking her out or flirting with her wouldn’t be as easy.
"Alright, I’ll go with you to Maya Paradise. Where should we et?"
Yan Yan’s cheeks were tinged with pink, and she couldn’t shake the feeling of guilt.
"Let’s et at the entrance of Maya Paradise. I’ll be waiting."
Qi Lin didn’t give her a chance to back out and imdiately hung up.
Yan Yan’s heart pounded wildly.
But she quickly composed herself, returned to her office, and called her assistant.
"I have a client eting this morning. Push back any company matters for later."
After giving her instructions, she walked out of the office, her high heels clicking against the floor.
Just as she was about to leave, she ran into Li Zhou.
"Yan Yan, where are you going so early?"
By coincidence, Li Jiaming’s father, Li Zhou, had so free ti today and decided to visit the company. Seeing Yan Yan heading out, he was montarily surprised.
Due to his declining health, he had handed over the company's operations to Yan Yan years ago.
Although he was the chairman and general manager, she was the one actually running the business.
That was also why Li Jiaming both respected and feared her.
Seeing Li Zhou, Yan Yan’s heart pounded even faster.
She felt like a wife sneaking out to do sothing wrong and getting caught by her husband.
But she had already agreed to Qi Lin’s invitation. There was no turning back.
"A beauty equipnt supplier wants to discuss product quality in person, so I’m heading out to et them."
She tried to sound composed.
Yan Yan had been dutiful all these years, staying faithful to Li Zhou. He had no reason to doubt her.
Smiling, he nodded. "I just wanted to drop by and see you, but I won’t bother you since you’re busy. Make sure you co ho early for dinner tonight. I’ve got so top-quality Spanish ham."
"Got it."
When she saw that Li Zhou believed her, Yan Yan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded.
Once Li Zhou left the company, she hopped into her MINI and drove toward Maya Paradise.
At the entrance of Maya Paradise, Lan Yuxi was already waiting.
She had changed into a cute, youthful swimsuit that Qi Lin had personally picked out for her.
It was a light blue, two-piece set with tie-up details.
Her fair, delicate feet were in woven grass sandals.
It was her first ti wearing sothing so revealing. Her cheeks were flushed as she clung to Qi Lin’s arm, excitent gleaming in her eyes.
"Qi Lin, tell how I should help you with your plan."
"Am I supposed to hand that gorgeous woman a drink while secretly drugging it?"
Qi Lin: "..."
What kind of ssed-up things had this girl been watching lately?
"We’re villains, not perverts, alright? If we did that, the mont she woke up, she’d call the police."
"Have you forgotten how I dealt with you back then? No matter what type of girl it is, you have to slowly chip away at her defenses."
"Once she completely gets used to your presence and doesn’t resist anymore, that’s when you’ve won."
Qi Lin chuckled and tapped Lan Yuxi’s forehead.
