I Just Want Chicken Dinner

Jiang Shihan could not be taken away by Long Aotian.

Lu Chengwen was being threatened by Xu Xuejiao, so he could not force Jiang Shihan to leave.

At this point, Jiang Shihan herself no longer wanted to leave Lu Chengwen and run away with someone. Not only did she not want to go, she secretly swore to do everything she could to repay her great benefactor... Lu Chengwen.

Long Aotian also realized that his image in Jiang Shihan's heart did not seem to have taken hold.

It could be said that Jiang Shihan, Lu Chengwen, and Long Aotian were all utterly confused.

The three of them had completely unequal information, and each had blind spots from their own perspective.

Because Jiang Shihan had heard Lu Chengwen's inner thoughts over the past two days, she mistakenly combined that information with everything Lu Chengwen had done before and analyzed it all together.

The conclusion she reached would have made Lu Chengwen cough up three and a half pounds of blood.

So, instead of following the original plot and hating Lu Chengwen to the bone, she was deeply grateful to him. She believed Lu Chengwen only pretended to be a bad person when, in reality, he was an incredibly, incredibly good man.

On top of that, somewhere deep in her heart, the girl had suddenly developed a strange sense of happiness at being bullied by Lu Chengwen.

She had not even realized it herself, but that was exactly how bizarrely things had unfolded.

So when Lu Chengwen suggested that she leave with Long Aotian, and Long Aotian was also willing to take her away, she resisted with all her heart.

I've only just discovered how charming our CEO Lu is. I've only just started feeling that my life is full of hope. And now you want me to leave?

In your dreams!

Everyone else can leave, but not me!

Long Aotian was the same.

According to the original plot, he was supposed to be a ray of dawn in Jiang Shihan's long night.

He himself believed that he had already appeared in Jiang Shihan's life as a savior, addressing the two greatest pains of her life:

Her mother's illness, and her hatred for her perverted boss.

He should only have needed to wave a hand, and she would have clung to him like a drowning person grasping a plank in the sea, never letting go again.

But what he did not know was that, through sheer accident, Lu Chengwen had carelessly illuminated and ignited Jiang Shihan's entire life ahead of schedule.

He could not understand whether Jiang Shihan was sick in the head or something. Why would she refuse to let go of her painful past and run toward a new beginning with him?

It was too bizarre.

But the most confused person was Lu Chengwen.

His mind was a complete mess. He could not tell east from west or up from down.

Everything had gone off the rails.

He did not understand why Jiang Shihan insisted on staying by his side;

He also did not understand why Xu Xuejiao opposed him at every turn, forcing him to make decisions that did not maximize his own interests. Every time, she accurately knew his intentions and interfered with them. How did she know?

What he understood even less was why Long Aotian was so useless.

Bro, aren't you the Male Protagonist?

Shouldn't the Male Protagonist be awe-inspiring and unstoppable, crushing whoever he caught? Shouldn't he get plot armor whenever he encountered a female lead, with their favorability shooting up until he could practically take her down that very day?

Xu Xuejiao was causing trouble, Jiang Shihan had changed her mind, and even Long Aotian was no longer working...

If this kept going, he really would not know how to play anymore.

Three days!

His best survival record across the previous six attempts had only been three days.

Could three days really be his limit!?

Long Aotian had made a fool of himself and could only leave dejectedly.

But he had not given up.

I will be back.

Lu Chengwen received a call. To his surprise, it was Leng Tianhao, inviting him to dinner at the Leng Family home.

Lu Chengwen already had a rough idea of what he wanted. It was basically about the engagement, and an engagement was ultimately about money.

He considered his daughter a bargaining chip. Since Lu Chengwen had liked Leng Qingqiu and pursued her for three years, once he agreed to give his daughter to him, Lu Chengwen would have to offer something in return.

More precisely, the Lu Family's financial machine under his control would have to help the Leng Family through its difficulties.

But that was Long Aotian's job. He could not interfere!

Absolutely not!

Having made up his mind, Lu Chengwen first returned to the company to arrange some work, then headed to the Leng Family home.

The moment Lu Chengwen arrived, Leng Tianhao actually came out personally to greet him.

"Oh my, Chengwen, you're here."

Lu Chengwen hurried forward and shook his hand. "Hello, Uncle."

"Haha, we're family. No need to be so polite. Come inside."

This time, the reception was unquestionably top-tier.

Leng Tianhao gave Lu Chengwen all the respect he could, and Aunt Leng also came out to speak with him.

For a junior, this was already an exceptionally high level of regard.

Lu Chengwen felt awkward, but today was an opportunity—the best opportunity to make things clear.

He needed to cut through the mess with a sharp blade and sever his ties with the Leng Family. More precisely, he needed to sever his ties with Leng Qingqiu.

The Leng Family would never truly fall. Long Aotian, the Son of Heavenly Mandate, was waiting in the wings to take over.

The Leng Family's future was not something he needed to worry about at all, and he was not worried in the slightest.

The atmosphere of this dinner was that of a family banquet. The scale was not large, but it was arranged warmly.

The focus was on making guests feel at home, as though they were in their own house, emphasizing the central theme of being one family.

They had barely exchanged a few pleasantries when Leng Qingqiu returned.

The moment she entered, she asked the maid, "Aunt Zhang, do we have guests?"

"The young master-in-law has come to visit," Aunt Zhang said with a smile.

Leng Qingqiu was surprised. Clearly, she had not known her father had invited Lu Chengwen.

When Lu Chengwen saw Leng Qingqiu, their eyes met, and Lu Chengwen fell.

Lu Chengwen discovered that the Main Heroine truly deserved to be the Main Heroine.

He really did have the potential to be a scumbag Villain.

He really did fall for every woman he saw.

At noon, he had still been stirred by the sight of his sexy little secretary, sighing that Jiang Shihan was a worldly beauty. She would definitely have endless tricks when played with, and in terms of playability and versatility, she would certainly surpass ordinary girls in every respect.

Now that he saw Jiang Shurou, his heart was once again struck hard.

Leng Qingqiu was truly beautiful.

How beautiful was she? She was a queen.

As long as she was there, every other woman was merely a side dish. That was neither exaggeration nor overstatement.

Leng Qingqiu's features were flawless and exquisite. When it came to faces, there were probably very few people in this world who could compare.

Moreover, her looks possessed an air of elegance and grandeur.

Do not mention delicate girls, lively cuteness, pure beauty, or sexy little wildcats... they were all little sisters.

Before Leng Qingqiu, they were all little sisters.

Leng Qingqiu was beautiful to the point of seeming unreal, perfect to the point that one would feel she was somehow different from ordinary humans.

And that was only her face.

Her figure was even more unbeatable!

Leng Qingqiu was neither built like the skinny models on television, with chopstick legs and collarbones practically jutting out beneath their necks, so thin and bony; nor did she look remotely fat, with not a trace of excess flesh on her stomach or upper thighs.

Like her face, her figure was invincible.

Tall and sexy, perfectly proportioned, with full, rounded hips, shapely thighs, slender calves, and ankles of just the right thickness—one in ten thousand, enough to make men cough blood at the sight.

Yet she also gave off a healthy, lush softness... carrying that unique charm a woman ought to have, filling people with the desire to explore, possess, and play with her.

It seemed that losing even a pound would not have produced this effect, and gaining even a pound would not have produced it either.

Her body was practically the perfect proportion created by an artist. It was simply unscientific for a living person to grow into something like this.

But the rarest thing about her was her temperament.

Xu Xuejiao did not have it. Chen Mengyun did not have it. Jiang Shihan did not have it... Even all the celebrities Lu Chengwen knew—Western, domestic, Japanese, Korean—none of them had it.

It was the aura of a true queen.

It was the bearing of true nobility.

She was too proper!

Lu Chengwen carried Lu Chengwen's memories. Claiming he was not moved would be nonsense.

Even without the memories of the "former Lu Chengwen," making a man fall for Leng Qingqiu basically required only one thing: seeing her.

If you saw Leng Qingqiu and did not have improper thoughts, then you were not a man. You definitely had something wrong with you.

Unless you had donated your eyes, been beaten into a vegetable, or undergone surgery—successful surgery in Thailand, the kind where they cut everything off nice and clean.

Otherwise, there was no way you would not be moved.

When Leng Qingqiu saw Lu Chengwen, joy welled up in her heart.

For the first time ever, she smiled. "Brother Chengwen, you're here!"

"Oh! Yes, right, I'm here."

Lu Chengwen had not expected to become so absorbed in looking at her.

Damn it, I haven't dared look at her too closely these past few days. Now that I've finally confirmed I'm temporarily safe, I relaxed a little.

This woman cannot be looked at too much. Once she gets into your eyes, you can't pull yourself out.

What a sin! Isn't looking like this just asking all the women in the world to hate you? I didn't get a nosebleed, did I?

Hearing Lu Chengwen's sincere praise of her in his heart, Leng Qingqiu felt quite pleased and happy.

Leng Tianhao took one look and thought, There's obviously a chance here! Lu Chengwen is practically staring himself silly at my daughter. If Qingqiu's mother and I weren't here, this brat would probably have pounced on her already. Why did Qingqiu say he kept making excuses and did not want this? Does this kid want the woman without paying?

The "family of four" took their seats and began eating and chatting.

Naturally, they first had to exchange pleasantries, asking how his company was doing, whether he had made a fortune after acquiring a company recently, whether his parents were well... that sort of thing.

During the conversation, Leng Tianhao secretly observed Lu Chengwen. Once again, he became certain that his judgment of Lu Chengwen could not be wrong.

He was a lecher!

Absolutely was!

This little bastard kept looking for chances to sneak glances at his daughter. You say you are not interested? Who are you trying to fool?

How many years have I been driving? How many manual transmissions have you even driven? Do you think I can't tell what kind of driver you are?

Leng Tianhao smiled. "Chengwen, the engagement is on the tenth of next month. How are your preparations coming along?"

Lu Chengwen's thoughts instantly snapped back.

What a sin!

He truly could not bear it now. He could not bear it ten thousand times over.

Giving such a beautiful girl to Long Aotian hurt as much as killing him!

But there was no choice. He had to clearly remember what he was here to do.

This was not a romance raising game, but a high-level battle royale.

What he needed to do was not raise his intimacy with the female lead, successfully take her down in the end, and unlock all kinds of positions and ways to play;

It was to use every resource and method available to stay alive, to keep surviving until the end, and get chicken dinner tonight!

This was not a game where you got to carry. This game had a big brother, and he was even on the opposing team.

Just make sure that when the enemy's big brother ganks top lane, you are in bottom lane. When he comes bottom, let him take the minions, towers, and jungle monsters!

The big brother was guaranteed to go godlike. The only question was whether there would be one more or one fewer short-lived victim on his road to godhood. You were not important to him!

But this was very important to you!

So the smart thing to do was wander around the jungle, kill a few jungle monsters, and pass the time.

Even if your teammates cursed at you, ignore them. Only you knew that you were not even playing the same game as them!

Once the big brother went godlike and destroyed the base, just crouch in the fountain and applaud for him. All you had to do was beg him to carry you next game.

Do not do anything else. Do one extra thing, and the big brother might trade your head for equipment.

Lu Chengwen sighed.

My life is just too miserable.

At that moment, the household butler came to report, "Sir, a Young Master Long has come to see you."

"Young Master Long?"

"Yes, his name is Long Aotian. He says... he has an insider tip worth more than two billion that he wants to share with you."

Lu Chengwen's head immediately buzzed.

Big brother... this isn't just stealing the base anymore. You're about to spawn-kill us!
