Don't Always Seduce Me!

Xu Xuejiao's figure was perfect.

At just over 1.6 meters tall, she wasn't particularly tall next to Lu Chengwen, but she looked petite and exquisite, a miniature darling.

Especially wearing a light pink shirt, a pink plaid JK pleated skirt, and a large bow at her chest. She paired them with pure white short socks and dark brown casual student leather shoes. Her thighs were surprisingly fair, as if untouched by dust…

How to put it…

"Pure" wasn't enough.

Besides purity, there was also allure.

That girlishness, that blend of pure and sexy visual impact, would make anyone's heart race and make them long to hold her close for an intimate moment.

Lu Chengwen let out a breath. Despite feeling immense pressure, he smiled and sincerely praised, "Xuejiao, you look really beautiful."

Lu Chengwen said it earnestly, yet calmly.

It gave the impression that, even though he was exhausted, seeing her dressed like this still amazed him.

Xu Xuejiao had expected Lu Chengwen to act like a pervert, exaggerating how beautiful she was, or to make inappropriate advances, or to make suggestive, lewd jokes.

But she hadn't expected Lu Chengwen to be like this.

Although his tone was flat, it sounded incredibly sincere and trustworthy.

If Lu Chengwen had been messing around with her, she would have had a hundred ways to banter and spar with him.

But with Lu Chengwen suddenly acting like this, Xu Xuejiao didn't know how to react.

She actually started to get nervous.

Standing there, she felt awkward with any movement, her heart pounding. Shyly, she said:

"Why… are you suddenly so serious? It's making me a bit uncomfortable."

Lu Chengwen smiled, "Don't wear this too often, the killing power is too great. Be careful, all the boys in Xuecheng might lose sleep over you."

Xu Xuejiao happily pounced into his arms, hugging Lu Chengwen, "What about you? Will you lose sleep over me?"

Lu Chengwen patted her head, "I have too many things to lose sleep over. Xuejiao, if you see Iron Tuo Wang again, remember to just tell him you're Long Aotian's friend, and he absolutely won't dare to do anything to you. Got it?"

"Who's Long Aotian? Isn't it enough that I know you?"

Lu Chengwen shook his head with regret, "I was bluffing today. He mistook me for Long Aotian, that's why he was so respectful and fearful. If he knew I was just a rich second-generation, he might beat me to death."

"Hahaha, you're always bragging, does that ever happen?"

"I'm serious, you must remember what I said, remember."

Xu Xuejiao noticed Lu Chengwen was very serious today. She tilted her head up to look at his face, "So… that's why you were scared in the car just now?"

Lu Chengwen nodded, "Long Aotian has a very complicated background, he's difficult to deal with. Actually… he really likes you. If you're willing to be with him, he'll protect…"

"What nonsense are you spewing!?"

Xu Xuejiao immediately became unhappy, "I'm in your arms right now, what are you talking about?"

Lu Chengwen only then realized that he had embraced Xu Xuejiao so naturally.

Lu Chengwen slowly pushed Xu Xuejiao away, "Xuejiao, we can only be friends."

Xu Xuejiao frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Exactly what it sounds like," Lu Chengwen said. "I have a lot of things to do, and I can't explain it to you, but I have to do things alone. You, Qingqiu, Mengyun… you all need to stay far away from me. What I have to do is very dangerous, one wrong step and I could die."

"I'm not afraid! What's so great about Long Aotian? He's a disgusting guy! I wouldn't want to be with someone like that!"

"Xuejiao, there are many things you don't understand…"

"If I don't understand, you can teach me! Is it about business?"

"No, it's not that simple," Lu Chengwen said. "Long Aotian is actually a righteous person, he…"

"He's righteous!?" Xu Xuejiao retorted, "When I was treating Grandpa Chen, he tried to stab me in the back! Luckily you blocked him in time!"

Lu Chengwen was very surprised, "You… saw that?"

"Yes!" Xu Xuejiao said. "Someone who claims to be a doctor, and then tries to endanger a patient's safety just to show off his own abilities while another doctor is treating them, doing such a low-down thing – you call him righteous?"

Lu Chengwen sighed, "That bastard really did something inhuman there."

"And you, for a batch of substandard medicinal herbs being destroyed, you lost hundreds of millions without batting an eye. You're the righteous one."

Lu Chengwen lamented, "Righteous my ass, this batch of medicine was a problem caused by people in my own family."

"But that's not your fault, you're someone who bravely takes responsibility."

Xu Xuejiao said:

"I realized I misunderstood you before. You're very loyal to your friends. For example, in school, you reportedly got beaten up several times for Chen Moqun. You're also very good to your girlfriends. Sister Mengyun often tells me how good you are, saying you took great care of her back then, cherishing her like your own little sister. And you're very filial to your parents. Mengyun said that Uncle Lu often hit you, but you never got angry and even tried to appease him and Auntie Lu… In short, I think you're actually a good person. You just deliberately pretend to be a bad guy."

Lu Chengwen was speechless, torn between laughter and tears.

But Xu Xuejiao's words struck a chord.

Yes, he could run away, but what about his mother and father? They had no idea he was in danger.

If he just left, leaving the Great Sage Group for his father to manage, that would put his father directly in the crosshairs with Long Aotian.

My dad didn't even know what type of hero the opponent was or what skills they had. It must have been the result of him being killed under his tower.

I can't leave.

I have to stay. Only I know the full picture of this beast, Long Aotian. Only I can manage to find a way to keep the Great Sage Group safe and protect my parents.

Lu Chengwen felt cornered.

If he left, he couldn't. If he stayed, it was equivalent to waiting for death.

Iron Tuo Wang had actually entered the arena early. Was he even going to survive this?

He had planned to take things slow and steady, accumulating more equipment in the novice village to prepare for late-game team fights.

Now, the jungler had arrived.

One Long Aotian could already crush him in a solo lane, and now he was coming to gank? Was that even necessary?

Was it really necessary?!

Lu Chengwen felt like his head was splitting into six pieces.

The people around him weren't playing by the rules. The story arcs that should have happened were all thrown into disarray because of his "transmigrated awakening."

He hadn't been injured so far, but his goal wasn't to avoid injury; it was to survive until the end!

But now, the plot's progression was becoming increasingly perilous.

He had stolen the protagonist's girl – a capital offense.

He had stopped the protagonist from showing off multiple times – also a capital offense.

Now, he was even impersonating the protagonist and had taken in one of his dim-witted subordinates...

Aside from not committing any evil deeds, he had done almost everything that could be considered courting death.

Just then, Leng Qingqiu called again, saying she had something important to discuss with him immediately and needed to see him right away.

Lu Chengwen didn't know whether to agree or not.

Meeting any of the heroines at this moment was extremely dangerous.

Especially Leng Qingqiu!

Leng Qingqiu had already publicly declared her intention to pursue him.

Hah, I'm so thankful to you!

Lu Chengwen couldn't understand what women were made of.

I chased you for three years, pursued you desperately, and you treated me like dog shit.

Now I wish you were a million miles away, never to see each other again, and you decide to get interested!

Xu Xuejiao looked at Lu Chengwen's changing expression and heard his inner thoughts. She felt both angry and happy.

"Hey, do you really not like Leng Qingqiu anymore?"

"Obviously."

"Hehe, then be my boyfriend. I really want to be in a relationship!"

Lu Chengwen looked at Xu Xuejiao, thinking to himself, what's the difference?

Why am I speaking with the same tone as you!?

What difference is there between you and her!?

Lu Chengwen said, "You, uh, go back where you came from. Go to the company more often when you have nothing else to do, and don't hang around in front of me all the time. It's annoying."

Xu Xuejiao immediately kicked Lu Chengwen hard in the shin: "Then why did you save me today?"

Lu Chengwen rubbed his shin: "I'm sick! Okay?"

"No, if you're sick, you have to be sick all the way! Come on, I'm going with you to see Leng Qingqiu!"

"What are you going for?"

"To let her know that she's already outdated, and I'm your new master!"

"What did you say!?"

"Oh, come on!"

"I'm warning you, don't mess around!"

"Don't worry, I'll definitely make sure you look good!"

Qianfeng Group.

Conference room.

Leng Qingqiu sat in the boss's chair, exuding an imposing aura without anger, her presence fully unleashed.

Leng Tianhao sat in the head seat, his face also stern and very serious.

Lu Chengwen thought to himself, are this father and daughter clashing again? Why do they always drag me into their family matters!

"Uncle Leng, Qingqiu, you needed me for something, right?"

Leng Qingqiu said, "Please, sit first."

Xu Xuejiao smiled and said, "Hello, Uncle Leng."

Leng Tianhao quickly smiled and said, "Oh, Xuejiao, you're here too. Sit, sit."

Just as Lu Chengwen sat down, Leng Tianhao said, "Chengwen, there's something I need to make clear to you. Your engagement to Qingqiu cannot happen."

"Oh."

Leng Tianhao sighed, "I know you won't agree, but your money hasn't entered my account. In short, I, Leng Tianhao, never do business at a loss. Therefore, I firmly oppose you two being together! I will explain this to your father later."

"Mm."

Leng Tianhao thought to himself, This is not right. What's going on with this kid?

He's so calm hearing this news!?

Doesn't he need Qingqiu to live? During these past three years, this kid's flattery has almost made me sick.

He absolutely shouldn't take this news well!

What is going on?

"I'm warning you, I'm not bluffing. I'm serious."

Lu Chengwen nodded, "That's good. In that case, please call my dad right now and explain things clearly. That way, our family won't have to prepare for the engagement ceremony next month."

Leng Tianhao was extremely surprised.

He thought to himself, Kid, are you challenging me? Do you really think I wouldn't dare?

"Fine, I'll call right now."

Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Chengwen, "Lu Chengwen, what do you mean by this?"

Lu Chengwen laughed heartily, "This is exactly what I mean. Uncle Leng and I are on the same page. Aren't you also annoyed with me?"

"Did I say it like that today? I clearly said..."

Leng Qingqiu looked at the heartless Lu Chengwen, feeling both anxious and angry.

"I don't care what you two, father and son, say. In any case, after today, we go our separate ways."

Leng Tianhao couldn't get through on the phone and said awkwardly, "I'll talk to your dad later."

"Alright, is there anything else? Then I'll be going."

At this moment, someone pushed the door open and walked in, a smile on his face.

It was Long Aotian.

Long Aotian looked around after entering and said to Leng Tianhao, "Uncle, I've found a chaebol willing to provide fifty billion in cash, with an interest rate of only one percent, willing to lend it to me to invest in Qianfeng Group."

Leng Tianhao laughed heartily, almost slamming the table, "Good! With this, the situation is entirely in my grasp!"

Leng Tianhao glanced contemptuously at Lu Chengwen and said loudly, "Show him out!"
