Ling Qianhe lingered, his lips almost touching, and Lin Muci’s heart was already in her throat.
Meanwhile, the system was desperately reminding her.
“Host, this is bad, this is bad.”
“Feng Yuting’s blackening value has suddenly reached one hundred percent…”
“He’s estimated to be here in ten minutes, you should prepare yourself!”
Lin Muci froze.
Wh-what?
Whose blackening value was maxed out again?
There were too many men.
She was getting a little confused. The system wished it could grab Lin Muci’s shoulders and shake her awake.
“Host, wake up, it’s Feng Yuting! He must have seen the live stream!”
Lin Muci had a splitting headache.
“Why does Feng Yuting always have to butt in?”
“Wait, you said how much time does he have left? He’s coming here in less than ten minutes?”
Lin Muci’s eyes widened.
A sudden shiver ran down her spine.
She pushed against Ling Qianhe’s chest. Ling Qianhe looked into her eyes and then addressed the audience.
“We’ll stop here for now, we have work to do. If you all want to watch, I’ll stream again next time.”
He gracefully ended the broadcast.
Lin Muci glared at him.
“There’s a next time?”
Ling Qianhe clutched his chest.
“Why is Xiao Ci so fierce?”
“Xiao Ci, aren’t you the most doting towards your fans? The fans want us to stream together, can’t Xiao Ci fulfill such a small wish for them?”
He looked at Lin Muci, a hint of a smirk flashing in his eyes.
“You wouldn’t be so uncaring towards your fans, would you? Right?”
It was so shamelessly manipulative, so artfully done.
How had Ling Qianhe learned to play the innocent victim?
Lin Muci was infuriated.
“Don’t use the fans as an excuse to do things that only satisfy yourself!”
“Ling Qianhe, how can you be so cunning and so full of schemes?”
Ling Qianhe, however, stared at her with bright, piercing eyes.
“Don’t you like it when I’m cunning, when I’m full of schemes?”
“I thought you would like it.”
Lin Muci was so angry she didn’t want to speak anymore.
That scoundrel.
That bastard!
Men were all dogs!
Meanwhile, Ling Qianhe was in the car.
He didn't rush to get out and go to the set with Lin Muci.
Instead, he tilted his head slightly, looking into the distance.
Across the parking lot, a black Rolls-Royce was parked in the spot opposite Ling Qianhe’s.
Then the car door opened, and an enraged man stepped out of the black car.
He strode over and knocked on the car window.
Ling Qianhe rolled down the window.
His opening words were dripping with sarcasm.
“Director Feng, can’t stand it already?”
“In that case, you’ll break down many more times in the future.”
“Because I will definitely not stream with Xiao Ci just this once.”
Feng Yuting was so angry he was about to explode.
Lin Muci, inside the car, received a tip-off from the system.
“Feng Yuting’s blackening value has surpassed one hundred percent… I think this man has the intention to kill Ling Qianhe.”
“Of course, Ling Qianhe is probably retaliating for Feng Yuting’s earlier meddling… causing him to abuse you, leading to the shattering of the puppet you possessed…”
Lin Muci’s head was buzzing. She told the system to stop babbling for now.
Then Lin Muci looked up. Ling Qianhe shielded her behind him.
He then issued a provocative declaration to Feng Yuting.
“Get out of the car and talk.”
“She stays in the car.”
“I’m afraid you’ll hurt her.”
Feng Yuting sneered, “I’ll hurt her? Who will hurt her, only they themselves know. Ling Qianhe, a man like you, how can you possibly have any so-called feelings!”
Ling Qianhe opened the car door.
He and Feng Yuting walked to a corner of the parking lot.
Because of the wall’s obstruction, Lin Muci couldn’t see anything they were doing.
Lin Muci felt as if her heart was being scratched by a cat.
“Should I get out and sneak a peek?”
The system countered,
“Do you think it’s appropriate to peek like this?”
“This is a battle between men!”
“If you go watch, how will they ever fight?”
“If they are true men, they should fight for women!”
Lin Muci was already scheming deviously.
“Then give me a live view? I know your system is omnipotent and must have a way!”
The little system hummed, and after a while, it replied reluctantly.
“It’s possible, but it requires exchanging points. Think carefully if it’s worth spending points on such a trivial matter.”
“Ten points. For five minutes of viewing.”
Lin Muci spent points more readily than ever before.
The transaction was completed swiftly.
Good!
She had worked hard and accumulated points precisely for such crucial moments.
Then, a small screen appeared on her retina.
Ling Qianhe’s voice reached her ears.
He was conversing with Feng Yuting.
“She’s mine.”
Lin Muci almost choked on the cold air. She coughed a few times.
He immediately declared ownership, truly Ling Qianhe!
So domineering!
Feng Yuting stared coldly at Ling Qianhe.
“What makes you say that? You’re just…”
Ling Qianhe interrupted him.
“I know what you want to say, you want to say that back then I had nothing, I was just an insignificant nobody. Right?”
“But times have changed, I can now stand on equal footing with you.”
“You can’t do anything to me anymore.”
Feng Yuting’s face turned ashen.
He indeed knew that Ling Qianhe was no longer an ant he could crush as he pleased.
He had reclaimed the Ling family, controlled the Ling family’s wealth, and had cultivated his own forces.
The current Ling Qianhe gave off an unfathomable aura!
But…
Why was he so arrogant?
Feng Yuting took a deep breath.
“So, she really is her. Right.”
“How did you manage it?”
Ling Qianhe would never tell him.
Who would be foolish enough to give their love rival an advantage?
He looked at Feng Yuting, his tone cold.
“I know you’ll eventually go mad, because you’ll never be able to have Sister Muci.”
“She’s mine. Whether it’s in the past or the future, she’s mine.”
“She’s my person.”
“And you, you’ll never get her in your lifetime!”
He was so skilled at delivering sharp blows.
Feng Yuting was truly enraged.
His blackening value had broken through the critical limit. He looked at Ling Qianhe opposite him, clenching his jaw.
His mouth was filled with the taste of blood.
He remembered that young brat who had been beaten by hooligans and left for dead.
Back then, he was supposed to go to the detention center.
Perhaps even lose his life. A boy in his teens, abused by the Ling family, with nothing.
How could he be so arrogant today?
Back then, Lin Muci had begged him to save him.
Why had he, in a moment of weakness, left behind such a hidden danger?
Ling Qianhe was too ruthless.
He was equally ruthless towards himself and others.
He had spent five years climbing from the very bottom, treading on mountains of knives and seas of fire. Could such a person still retain any sincerity?
Being sincere towards him was a luxury, wasn't it!
He knew this all too well, because he was the same kind of person.
“Are you sure you can truly be good to her?”
“Or will you get tired of her and discard her like trash…?”
“What makes you think you can be loyal to her for a lifetime, and cherish her more than your own life?”
Ling Qianhe retorted,
“Can you?”
He chuckled.
“Feng Yuting. You can’t.”
“But I can.”
Feng Yuting thought he was just boasting.
Did a twenty-one-year-old boy understand love?
The world was full of benefit exchanges, of mutual distrust. Men towards women only had possessiveness; once they obtained it, it would become bland.
He would get tired of that woman!
Ling Qianhe looked at his enraged eyes, at his deeply furrowed brows as dark as ink.
With just a few words, he easily broke through Feng Yuting’s defenses.
“I have obtained her.”
“It’s better than you never getting her!”
Lin Muci’s cheeks flushed as she listened to Ling Qianhe.
Feng Yuting finally lost control and lunged forward to punch him in the face!
Lin Muci couldn’t help but feel a pang of panic. She even wondered if she should rush out to break up the fight.
These two men fighting in the underground parking lot of the film set would surely create a huge sensation!
Then, with a move like cloud hands, Ling Qianhe dodged, and the young man smiled brightly.
“Are you sure you want to fight me?”
“I have a black belt in Taekwondo and am proficient in several martial arts, all learned for acting previously.”
“I can also do a hundred push-ups without even breathing.”
“My stamina is super strong.”
“Someone knows very well how powerful my stamina is.”
“You definitely can’t compare to me.”
“I have this confidence.”
Feng Yuting looked at him, his face cold and unsightly. Ling Qianhe knew exactly where to hit a man where it hurt.
“Are you planning to hire assassins from the black market to kill me now?”
“But half the strongmen in the black market are on my payroll. Try it, see if anyone dares to accept the contract. No matter how high the price you offer, there likely won’t be any masters who will come.”
“After all, too many people want to kill me, so I have to make some preparations, to prevent future trouble.”
“If I can’t protect myself, who will protect her?”
“Feng Yuting—you really…”
The smile on his lips was so malicious it ached, making one’s heart almost suffer a myocardial infarction!
“You really, in every way, can’t compare to me.”
Therefore, in this world, only he could get Lin Muci!
