Ten Liu Menghans Wouldn't Be a Match

Liu Nian watched from the side as her aunt hurriedly hung up the phone.

Her face was flushed, her full chest heaving up and down with rapid breaths, and even the hand holding the phone was trembling slightly.

Liu Nian was simply speechless!

Last night, she had been so confident, swearing that she would capture Uncle Lin Ao. I thought my aunt was actually quite formidable.

And this is the result?

Just setting up a dinner and changing how she addressed him, and you're already like this? How are you supposed to compete with Sister Gu?

If you were sent back in time to be a concubine in a harem, you wouldn't even know how you died.

"Aunt... are you... completely inexperienced? Didn't you say that in your memories, you had dated Uncle Lin Ao before?"

Liu Nian looked at her in disbelief, feeling a sense of frustration at her lack of progress.

"Well... that, in the past, it was always your Uncle Lin Ao who took the initiative. I didn't have to do anything; I just had to say yes to him..."

Liu Menghan felt embarrassed. In the previous timelines, Lin Ao had indeed been the one to take the lead, and she was only responsible for enjoying being wooed. She had intended to be the one to woo Lin Ao this time, but she had failed before even truly starting. She hadn't realized that wooing someone was so difficult.

Liu Nian slapped her forehead. Fine, fine, fine, she's hopeless. This woman is truly hopeless.

If she knew that Liu Menghan considered her behavior just now to be "wooing," she would immediately wash her hands of this; she couldn't help with this at all.

"Aunt, you can't go on like this. If you feel nervous facing Uncle Lin Ao, why not try starting with the people around him?"

Liu Nian thought of a roundabout way to achieve their goal: Li Wanyu.

"Ah? Who? Start with who around him?"

Liu Menghan was a bit dazed. Her heart was filled with the goal, but she had no plan.

"Use Grandma Li as the breakthrough point. I'll say I miss Grandma Li, and you take me there. Then you two will be able to make contact. It's much easier to win over an old lady than it is to win over Uncle Lin Ao. Once you're familiar with her, you'll naturally be able to get close to Uncle Lin Ao."

Liu Menghan's eyes lit up when she heard this. That's right! In the future, she could also use Li Wanyu as an excuse to go directly to Lin Ao's house to find him. That would seem reasonable and not awkward at all.

"Strategist! I'm counting on you!"

Liu Menghan picked up the petite Liu Nian and gave her a kiss. This little niece was just too reliable!

"Then from now on, you must follow my orders, Soldier Number One!"

Liu Nian lifted her head, her eyes sparkling with the light of wisdom!

"Soldier Number One reporting for duty!"

Liu Menghan felt the flames of war igniting in her heart!

"Ding-ding-ding-ding~ Lin Ao, I'm here~ How is it~ Is this little dress pretty? I even paired it with the black stockings you like~"

Gu Wanqing arrived at the Lin Family Manor right on time in the evening to pick up Lin Ao.

Lin Ao looked at the enchantress before him, his breathing hitching slightly. She was indeed... charming. The dress perfectly showcased Gu Wanqing's long, beautiful legs, and the form-fitting fabric traced her curvaceous figure, paired with those alluring black stockings that hinted at the tantalizing forbidden zones beneath.

"Hiss--!"

"It's... it's alright. Let's hurry and get going; don't keep your parents waiting. Wouldn't it have been better to just send me the location so I could head over myself instead of coming to pick me up?"

Lin Ao replied to Gu Wanqing, his words contradicting his true feelings.

"That wouldn't do! I wanted you to be the first to see my new outfit~"

Gu Wanqing didn't mind Lin Ao's perfunctory attitude at all, because the panel proved everything.

[Character's current state/thoughts: Hiss--! An enchantress, she's simply an enchantress.]

[H-Index: 80]

Gu Wanqing flashed a charming smile, walked over to hook her arm through Lin Ao's, and deliberately squeezed it against her.

[H-Index: 90]

Hehehehe~ Little man, still trying to keep a straight face. I'll just keep pressing, pressing, pressing!

When it came to combat effectiveness, ten Liu Menghans wouldn't be a match for Gu Wanqing.

They soon arrived at the Hongfu Restaurant in Jianghai City.

"Dad~ Mom~ Lin Ao and I are here~"

Gu Wanqing's parents were good friends with Lin Ao's parents. The two families were old acquaintances, and since they had invited Lin Ao to dinner, he really couldn't refuse.

"Uncle Gu, Aunt Zhao, long time no see. This is for you."

Even though they said there was no need to prepare gifts, Lin Ao had still brought some. As a member of the younger generation, one still had to observe proper etiquette.

"Oh my~ You child, didn't we tell you not to prepare any gifts? Why are you being so formal?"

The one speaking was Gu Wanqing's mother, Zhao Ya, who, like Lin Ao's mother, was a kind and gentle person.

"We're just having a casual meal. We haven't seen you in a long time, so we asked Wanqing to invite you. You two are going to be engaged soon; have you decided on a date yet?"

This energetic-looking middle-aged man was Gu Wanqing's father, Gu Jianfeng.

In the previous timelines, after Xiao Fan had disrupted the wedding and Gu Wanqing had openly called off the engagement, the shock had landed both of them in the hospital. Afterward, they had locked Gu Wanqing at home to keep her away from Xiao Fan. Lin Ao hadn't paid much attention to them after that; it seemed they had passed away quite mysteriously?

Then Gu Wanqing took over the Gu Group, becoming one of Xiao Fan's chess pieces.

An unfilial daughter, truly an unfilial daughter. This time, they could have clearly negotiated the annulment of the engagement, yet she insisted on refusing. Lin Ao truly could not understand it.

"Ahem~ We are still young and are still discussing it~ There is no rush for this matter; I want to give Wanqing a grand engagement ceremony."

Lin Ao knew he was telling a lie. He did not yet have enough power, but once he was prepared, he would trigger the engagement plot.

This was because once the engagement and marriage scenarios were triggered, other people besides Xiao Fan would also start popping up inexplicably from different places.

If Gu Wanqing hadn't seen his status panel, she might have actually believed Lin Ao.

She rolled her eyes at Lin Ao but did not expose him. In any case, he could not escape the palm of her hand. Don't even think about it!

"Hahaha~ Good~ Young people have their own ideas, we of the older generation won't worry about it!"

Gu Jianfeng laughed heartily. He had always been quite satisfied with Lin Ao. Not to mention that he was the only heir of the Lin Family, his business acumen was arguably the best among all the young talents in Jianghai.

Although he previously felt this child was a bit cold and didn't like to talk much, he looked different today. It must be that marriage had promoted his growth.

"Alright~ Let's eat first and chat while we eat~"

Zhao Ya instructed the waiter to serve the dishes; she was also very satisfied with Lin Ao's answer.

Because she had seen many more smiles on her daughter's face during this period, it must have had something to do with this child, Lin Ao, which was why she invited him out to see.

Sure enough, this child had changed a lot and was not as cold as before. Zhao Ya couldn't help but feel happy for her daughter.

Xiao Fan, inside the gymnasium, wore an expression of impatience.

A concert was held here this afternoon, the concert of the national goddess Xia Qiange.

And the person Xiao Fan had an appointment with was Xia Qiange.

He had watched with great interest all afternoon. On stage, Xia Qiange radiated endless charm, and the entire audience cheered for her without exception.

Xia Qiange possessed the most innocent baby face, sweet dimples, and a charming smile; every part of her exuded a healing aura.

At the same time, she also possessed a devilish figure, like a spreading spring bud. Her physique was elegant and voluptuous, radiating an alluring rhythm, and every inch of her skin seemed finely carved, smooth as jade.

She could be called a peerless beauty among flowers, as beautiful as a celestial being.

After finishing her performance, Xia Qiange received a text message from her best friend.

"Qiange~ I'm in a bad mood today. Come out and keep me company for dinner at Hongfu Restaurant."
