Option two: directly reject Ye Mengyao. Ye Mengyao's favorability would practically drop straight to zero.
That was not the result Jiang Che wanted.
He was merely fishing, PUA-ing Ye Mengyao. It was not as though he was genuinely uninterested in her.
As for how he was supposed to wrap things up after setting up such a cold and aloof persona?
Jiang Che had long since prepared for it.
Ye Mengyao's birthday banquet at the end of the month would be his breakthrough. Once Ye Mengyao was drugged then...
Wouldn't that solve everything?
It could be said that from the very beginning... the initiative had always been in Jiang Che's hands. He had already arranged everything.
As for the reward for option three?
A title?
Master of the Harem?
Master of the Harem: After the host equips this title, they gain harem immunity. No matter how wildly the host behaves, they will remain as steady as an old dog and will never follow in Brother Cheng's footsteps.
Jiang Che: "..."
Hey, hey, hey, what did you mean by that?
My eloquence was this good? My emotional intelligence was this high? How could I possibly follow in Brother Cheng's footsteps?
You were seriously looking down on me a little too much.
The system kindly reminded him: Have you forgotten how you died in your previous life?
Jiang Che actually... had no way to refute that.
Although he had died in a car accident in his previous life, it was obvious... there was a high probability that it had been man-made.
In his previous life, he had played around too recklessly and accidentally got himself killed.
"Cough, cough... System, you're right. This title is pretty good."
"I choose three."
At that moment, inside the house.
Everyone was waiting for Jiang Che's answer, especially Ye Mengyao... Her gaze toward Jiang Che carried a hint of humility.
Jiang Che directly activated Heart Link.
Lin Xue: Sigh... With Xiao Che looking like this, he's definitely going to reject Yaoyao. Yaoyao will probably have a hard time getting over it.
Jiang Yunli: Pah! You little white lotus, and you think you can marry my precious son? Ah Che, reject her immediately!
Ye Mengyao: Jiang Che, Dad, Mom, Uncle, and Auntie are all here. Please, don't reject me again. Don't make me... hate you.
Oh ho?
No wonder rejecting you would directly reduce favorability by eighty points.
Your little heart was actually that fragile?
At the same time, Jiang Che understood that if he rejected Ye Mengyao in public now... this girl would probably turn dark.
Jiang Che "inadvertently" glanced at Ye Mengyao, and their eyes met.
His gaze held forty percent complexity, thirty percent melancholy, twenty percent hatred, and another ten percent love.
The same old fan chart.
He did not speak. He merely sighed softly, his expression somewhat weary.
"I'm tired."
With that, Jiang Che turned around and headed back upstairs.
Jiang Che had used only three words, yet they were precisely right!
Ye Mengyao's eyes instantly brightened somewhat, and a trace of delight appeared on her face.
Jiang Che... had not agreed, but neither had he rejected her!
And the look in his eyes when he had looked at her just now... had been so complicated. Although she could not understand that gaze, she had still seen a sliver of love within it.
To a girl preparing to chase Jiang Che in reverse, even the tiniest shred of feeling would be magnified without limit... making her believe that Jiang Che still liked her.
Ye Mengyao's family left the Jiang Family.
Inside the car.
"Yaoyao, Xiao Che didn't reject you just now, which means there's still room to turn things around!"
Lin Xue began encouraging her daughter again. In truth, she had always had a very favorable impression of Jiang Che.
No one was more suitable to be her son-in-law than Jiang Che.
Besides, Jiang Che had saved Yaoyao's life.
Ye Mengyao nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"Mom, you're right. Jiang Che must still be angry with me. My attitude toward him before was too terrible. He may hate me, but I must still be in his heart. I still have a chance."
One of humanity's four great misconceptions: He still likes me!
Ye Changkong, however, remained silent.
His little padded jacket was beginning to throw herself at another man... It hurt his heart, but Jiang Che had saved Yaoyao after all, and he had actually earned his approval.
Besides, he always felt that the way Jiang Che looked at Yaoyao seemed a little off, somewhat... lecherous?
It was probably just his imagination, right?
"Honey, I don't want Ye Mengyao marrying into our Jiang Family. That girl is full of schemes..."
Jiang Yunli looked worriedly at Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan rubbed at his brow helplessly. His wife was a foolish sweetie, with practically zero emotional intelligence or IQ.
He could already tell that Ye Mengyao was actually just a simple-minded young girl, not some scheming bitch at all.
That girl was too innocent. Every thought in her heart was written plainly across her face.
"Wife, you're right. I agree!"
"But didn't Xiao Che not reject her either? Let the children handle the children's affairs."
It had to be said that Jiang Yuan truly was a qualified husband.
"Hmph, I don't care. I just don't like Ye Mengyao."
The woman curled her lips.
"The girls who want to marry into our Jiang Family could line up all the way to Antarctica. Would we be lacking one Ye Mengyao?"
"Leaving everything else aside, Director Wang's daughter, Wang Yanran, is so beautiful and has such a likable personality."
"And Yu Wan'er, the one who has been coming to our house these past few days to tutor Xiao Che, is adorable too. She's the one I like best..."
However, at the mention of Yu Wan'er, Jiang Yunli lowered her head and checked the time.
"Huh? It's almost ten at night already. Why haven't they finished yet?"
As though she had thought of something, Jiang Yunli's lips curved upward.
Obviously, Yu Wan'er should still be in Jiang Che's room.
"Honey, get ready to make a move!"
Jiang Yuan's mouth twitched. "Make what move?"
"I'm very fond of this Yu Wan'er. We need to create opportunities for our son!"
"Think about it... It's already ten at night. That little girl will definitely be heading home later. We'll just keep her here... Let her stay with our son, and they'll definitely spark something."
Jiang Yunli looked full of anticipation, even beginning to rub her hands together like a fly.
Jiang Yuan: "..."
He could not understand his wife's train of thought, but he was greatly shaken.
Still, as a henpecked husband, so long as it was something his wife said... he supported it all!
"Honey, in a while, I'll go upstairs..."
"Hiss... Wife, isn't this a bit too much? Don't really get someone killed!"
"It won't, don't worry!"
Inside the third-floor bedroom.
"Jiang Che, Jiang Che! Did Sister Yaoyao ask about me?"
Yu Wan'er crawled out of the wardrobe. Little Loli had made a complete mess of Jiang Che's closet, and a pair of Jiang Che's shorts was even perched atop her head.
The girl disdainfully pinched Jiang Che's shorts between two fingers and tossed them away.
"No."
Jiang Che smiled as he stared at the Little Loli before him, the corners of his lips lifting slightly.
