First Day Gift Pack

Mother Lu: "Qingqiu, try this. I know you like Cantonese cuisine, so your uncle specially hired a Cantonese master chef to cook at home today."

"Thank you, Auntie."

Lu Guanghong: "Qingqiu, eat this crab porridge. It's good for beauty and health! The crabs I ordered today were caught in the first net this morning and were flown directly to Xue City while still alive and kicking."

"Thank you, Uncle. Please don't be so formal."

Mother Lu: "Qingqiu, try this. Does it taste like home?"

"Mmm, it tastes really good."

Lu Guanghong: "And this, eat it with foie gras sauce. It nourishes the qi and blood and enhances immunity."

Leng Qingqiu received the highest courtesy.

Of course, as the Eldest Daughter Leng and the Chairman of Qianfeng Group, Leng Qingqiu would receive the highest level of reception and courtesy wherever she went.

But today was completely different.

The status was different.

She had agreed to the engagement in a fit of pique, and these two elders clearly treated her as their future daughter-in-law.

Their attentiveness and consideration were not the kind shown to an Important Figure or a group president, but the kind of care and concern shown to their own family.

Leng Qingqiu was experiencing this kind of treatment for the first time.

She had to admit, Leng Qingqiu was captivated.

Her family was a rational one, lacking the warmth and liveliness of the Lu Family, and not as free, uninhibited, and casual as them.

Their family gatherings felt like routine affairs, with everyone being polite and adhering to table manners.

They would never, like the Lu Family, move all the best dishes around the table when they saw her sit down, pushing the good food towards her.

Leng Qingqiu envied Lu Chengwen so much.

The bickering in their family didn't feel vulgar or rude at all. On the contrary, it exuded a strong sense of family and a warm atmosphere.

Even when Lu Chengwen argued with her Dad and got beaten, Leng Qingqiu felt it was so happy and fulfilling.

Lu Chengwen stood to the side: "Dad, Mom, I'm hungry too."

Lu Guanghong turned his head, his expression instantly changing, his eyes bulging: "Scram!"

Leng Qingqiu burst out laughing.

Mother Lu quickly said: "Qingqiu, don't mind him. He was in the wrong this time. Your uncle also hit him. Please forgive him, okay? Actually, Chengwen has been excellent in character and studies since he was a child, and he's very compassionate. You grew up together, you know him."

"Sigh, it was during those college years. My Dad fell ill, and he insisted on holding the family business together. We didn't have time to discipline him much, we just gave him money, and as a result, he picked up a lot of bad habits from others. But deep down, my Chengwen is a good kid..."

Lu Guanghong said, "He's a scoundrel! Qingqiu, don't mind him. If he bullies you again, just call me directly. I'll always stand up for you."

Leng Qingqiu quickly said, "Actually, it's not that bad. For the past three years, my attitude wasn't good. I said some harsh things a few times, and I even offended Uncle and Aunt. I apologize to you two elders."

"Oh, let's not bring up the past. Can parents really take things seriously with their children!"

"This kid is shameless. Sometimes, when we see his shameless antics, it makes us angry too. Eat your vegetables, eat your vegetables..."

Lu Chengwen watched his family enjoying a harmonious meal, while he himself was starving and on the verge of tears.

He walked out and saw his younger brother, Lu Chengwu, just entering the door. Their eyes met.

Lu Chengwen pointed his hand and said, "You stop right there!"

Lu Chengwu looked panicked, turned, and ran.

"You little brat, stop right there!"

Just as Lu Chengwen was about to chase after his troublemaking younger brother, he suddenly heard the System's prompt:

Ding dong!

"Please, host, accept the First Day Gift Pack!"

Lu Chengwen stood frozen, his heart filled with excitement.

Here it comes!

The First Day Gift Pack, heh! With this, he wouldn't have to fear being chased by Sister Qing Xia anymore.

System: "Congratulations, host, on successfully surviving the first day trial. You have successfully survived in this world for twenty-four hours. Please now accept the First Day Gift Pack!"

Lu Chengwen quickly ran into the bathroom and locked the door.

Above his line of sight, a large screen, like in an electronic game, appeared. Many grids were filled with gift pack icons of various symbols.

Lu Chengwen could barely contain his excitement.

He clicked on the first one:

"Jade Maiden's Soul-Stirring Pill: Can quickly bring the female lead into a state of arousal. You know."

Lu Chengwen's expression froze, "Isn't this asking for trouble? I can't wait to get them far away from me, what's the use of this thing? Trash."

He clicked on the second one:

"X-ray Vision x3. You can choose three female leads and use X-ray Vision to fantasize about them. Guaranteed to make you nosebleed."

Lu Chengwen lowered his head: "Aren't these gift packages? What is all this messy stuff? Just cheap junk! Do you have anything good? Something that can make me... make me so powerful that even if Long Aotian comes looking for trouble, I can withstand it?"

He clicked on the third one:

"Maternity Protection Pill, if the female lead is carrying your child..."

"Then I'll be completely dead!" Lu Chengwen roared angrily: "Why is it all stuff that will get me killed? Don't you have any proper items? What about Heaven and Earth Great Shift, Immovable Wisdom King Skill, or something like that?"

He clicked on the fourth one:

"Male Lead Vanish Card, limited to one day. This card can prohibit the main male lead Long Aotian from appearing. The premise is that you cannot do bad things, and you cannot make a move on the female lead. Do you wish to use it right now?"

"Hahaha!" Lu Chengwen's eyes teared up: "It's only for damn one day, right? That's fine, that's fine. At least it's a proper item. Use it, use it. I'm celebrating Children's Day today."

He clicked on the fifth one:

"Lingerie Set! Passion always comes in the latter half of the night. Leather whip, binding rope, eye mask, lingerie, handcuffs..."

Lu Chengwen slammed his hand down: "You realized I'm an adult! What does this have to do with me completing the mission? If I like this stuff, can't I buy it myself? Are you showing off? Are you showing off?"

He clicked on the sixth one:

"Flash Card. Can instantly flash to any location within a five-meter radius, and can pass through obstacles."

Lu Chengwen was surprised and quickly took it. Finally, a relieved smile appeared on his face: "This is a proper item. With this, I have a sliver of a chance to escape."

At this moment, his mother knocked on the bathroom door: "Chengwen, Qingqiu is leaving. Go see her off."

Lu Chengwen didn't open the door and shouted towards the entrance: "Got it. Let her leave by herself, I'm busy."

His father's voice came from outside: "It's okay, it's okay. I'll go get a broom to sweep, you find someone to open this door."

Lu Chengwen was extremely depressed: "I'm coming out!"

Walking into the garage, Lu Chengwen scratched his head, a million questions in his mind.

In his own garage, most of the cars belonged to his father, mainly business vehicles, sedans, and vans.

He also parked two sports cars here.

In the memory of his own text, he had a separate garage, but it wasn't in this villa.

Here, he only had two cars, both sports cars.

Zhao Gang ran up: "Young Master, which one are you driving today?"

Lu Chengwen rubbed his chin and pointed to a car: "Give me the key to this car."

Zhao Gang was stunned: "Young Master, this is Master's car."

"It's just a car, I won't die from driving it."

"Oh. But this car..."

"What's wrong?"

"It doesn't match your status!"

It was a low-key luxury car, inconspicuous from the outside, but actually very expensive.

"This one it is."

Leng Qingqiu herself didn't realize how much her impression of Lu Chengwen had changed.

The events of the past two days made her feel like she had never known this person before.

In the past, being with Lu Chengwen for three minutes would make her collapse, seeing him made her feel sick, and even hearing his name would ruin her appetite.

But today, she actually lingered, asking him to drive her back to the company.

A phone call, and no one was coming to pick her up?

But Leng Qingqiu just wouldn't call, waiting for Lu Guanghong to force Lu Chengwen to drive her with a broom.

Of course, one reason was that she no longer had such deep disgust for Lu Chengwen, a fact she hadn't discovered herself yet.

Leng Qingqiu suddenly felt that this kid Lu Chengwen was quite amusing.

The second reason, naturally, was that Lu Chengwen had too many mysteries, and she needed to get some answers.

Sitting in the back seat, Leng Qingqiu calmly watched the scenery outside flash by, her mind racing with how to confront Lu Chengwen.

Lu Chengwen kept glancing at Leng Qingqiu in the rearview mirror, marveling inwardly.

[She's really beautiful, how can anyone be this beautiful? Do women really exist in this world who can look like this? Is she a doll?]

Leng Qingqiu knew she was beautiful. People had been complimenting her beauty since she was a child, almost every day. So, she had long been numb to such praise, even finding it annoying.

However, to have someone genuinely praise her stunning beauty from the bottom of their heart, to evaluate her so highly, to be so infatuated with her, to be so moved by her, still made her feel very proud and secretly pleased.

The corners of her mouth curved into a smile involuntarily.

[Sigh, I need to find a way to make her stay away from me quickly. Why is this getting more and more chaotic? She actually came to drink with me, and then slept at my place. What kind of damn rotten plot is this.]

Leng Qingqiu's smile vanished, and she looked at Lu Chengwen: "Why are you suddenly so annoyed with me?"

Lu Chengwen was taken aback: "No! Why would I be annoyed with you? Everyone in Xue City knows how much I like you, haha, hehe, hahahaha. Cough, cough, no... no, I just... um."

Lu Chengwen's insincere reply only made Leng Qingqiu feel more saddened.

A man had pursued her relentlessly for three years. But now, he had turned his back on her so abruptly, without a backward glance, as if he couldn't wait for her to disappear from the face of the earth.

This drastic change was difficult for Leng Qingqiu to accept.

She used to think Lu Chengwen was a piece of trash, but... now, for some reason, she felt a deep sense of injustice, as if she were losing something precious.

She was annoyed.

Leng Qingqiu looked out the window, trying to remain calm. "Do you have someone you like now? Is that why you're not interested in me anymore?"

"Huh?" Lu Chengwen was taken aback, then quickly replied, "Yes."

Leng Qingqiu was shocked. She hadn't expected herself to be so surprised, so angry.

"Who is it?"

"Oh, you know, that person."

"Who."

"Does it matter?"

"It matters."

Leng Qingqiu said, "I need to know who defeated me and became your new favorite."

Lu Chengwen pulled the car over to the side of the road.

He felt this was an excellent opportunity to lay everything bare.

"Qingqiu, I'll ask you one question: Do you want to enter into an arranged marriage?"

"No."

"Do you like me?"

"No."

"Do you hate me?"

"Very much."

"Then that settles it!"

Lu Chengwen said, "You don't want an arranged marriage, you don't like me, and you even find me annoying and detestable. So why should we get engaged? Let's both go back and tell our parents we don't agree to the engagement. You tell your parents it's me who disagrees. I'll tell my parents it's me who disagrees, and then everything will be perfectly resolved!"

"But I want to know the reason."

"The reason is that I'm fickle! I've fallen for someone else! For a playboy like me, isn't this perfectly normal?"

"Who is it?"

Lu Chengwen was going crazy, so amused by this woman that he almost laughed: "Does it matter?"

"It matters a lot."

At this moment, Lu Chengwen's phone rang.

Lu Chengwen glanced at the number and secretly praised his luck, thinking it had come at the perfect time.

He answered with a smile, "Hello! Sister Xuejiao!"

Xu Xuejiao was clearly taken aback. Yesterday, he was so annoyed with her, how could his tone be so sickeningly sweet today?

Xu Xuejiao decided to play along: "Brother Chengwen, you must have been exhausted last night, right?"

"Oh, you bet! You really are a demanding little vixen!"

"Hehe, don't talk nonsense, be careful or I'll hit you! We have a press conference today, hurry over, we need to go over the script."

"Okay, okay, but you have to wear a JK uniform for me."

"Oh, you're so annoying! Who wears a uniform to a press conference..."

Leng Qingqiu pushed the car door open, slammed it shut with force, and walked away.
