Chapter 394

From the very beginning, the other person kept staring at their phone and would occasionally give an idiotic smile.

"I'm reading a novel called 'The Demon King Player Was Summoned as a Hero by the Saintess.' It's a new isekai novel by an author named Xiu Weng Puti, and it's quite interesting."

Milutin waved her phone and laughed heartily. Since she had nothing better to do, she might as well read a novel to pass the time.

"I'm off, going back to school."

Yao Shi merely nodded symbolically upon hearing this. Novels... well, they do seem to be something that can pass the time...

That's right, the author has started yet another new book, but this time she's not stubbornly writing about a girl getting married after transforming into a man.

This story is about a gamer who is transported to another world and embarks on a harem romance. (I promise I won't abandon it! Because if I abandon it, I really won't be able to afford food...)

(Do you all remember He Xue's father's research? And the game developer mentioned in the chapters of "Obelisk the Giant God Soldier"? Actually, the story background of this new book is the game that those two collaborated on.)

New book title: The Demon King Player Was Summoned as a Hero by the Saintess

The gist of it is that a gamer with the title of Demon King is summoned to another world as a hero, where he encounters a lovesick saintess and a pure succubus... Come check it out, everyone! Please like and save this before you go!

Chapter Thirty-Five: Liking Someone Needs No Reason

Wu Liang had no idea how he spent the afternoon classes.

For some reason, he felt tired and heavy, and the whole afternoon passed in a daze, somewhat hazy.

They couldn't hear the teacher's lectures or the conversations of the students around them.

His mind was a bit stuffy, like a jumble of random characters. Right now, he was only thinking about one thing—how to resolve the situation with Su Qian.

Yes, that's right. He promised to help Su Qian and made a promise to Su Qian.

He acted very confident in front of Su Qian, but his exaggerated behavior was largely to appease Su Qian.

Only if Su Qian feels that he can easily solve the problem will she be willing to accept his help.

But here's the crux of the matter: how can he perfectly resolve this incident?

He only possesses a fraction of the Wu family's power, and his current authority is far from sufficient to help the Su Family out of their predicament.

Yao Shi had previously hinted to him that there were limitations to what she could do.

Without gaining greater power, even becoming Su Qian's nominal boyfriend couldn't save the Su Family.

"Young Master, if you wish to obtain higher-level privileges, you will need to discuss it with the Master."

"There is no other solution, not even asking the madam."

"That means I have to see my father in the near future."

Sitting in his seat, Wu Liang frowned and murmured softly.

Yao Qing was absolutely right; the entire lifeline of the Wu family was controlled by her father.

To gain the support of the Wu family and obtain greater power, one naturally needs the father's permission.

"To be honest, I haven't actually met the other person in a real sense since I came into this world."

"The word 'father' was very distant for Wu Liang in the past, and for me now, the concept of family affection has almost faded and disappeared."

Wu Liang spread out his palms and murmured softly.

He did have memories of Wu Xingsheng, but the word "father" was completely foreign to him.

Even knowing that Wu Xingsheng was his father, he showed no respect whatsoever for him.

"Call..."

Feeling somewhat troubled by this, Wu Liang closed his eyes and pondered silently.

He leaned all his weight against the back of the chair and became lost in his own little world.

Contacting and talking with Wu Xingsheng is essential and unavoidable.

He needs to obtain more power from Wu Xingsheng, power that is enough to easily save the Su Family.

"What should I say and do to make him accept me as his son?"

Slowly opening his eyes and looking at the snow-white ceiling above, Wu Liang frowned deeply in thought.

Wu Xingsheng is an old monster whose schemes and strength have reached the limits of humanity.

This is Yao Qing's assessment of his father. As someone who has been close to his father for many years, Yao Qing's words carry considerable credibility.

"Can I convince that guy?"

Wu Liang rubbed his temples, which were throbbing slightly. In a sense...

Wu Xingsheng was a complete stranger to him, someone with whom he had never had any interaction.

Wu Liang was genuinely troubled by the idea of suddenly having a deep conversation with a complete stranger.

"What's bothering you? Is it about Su Qian?"

A slightly disdainful female voice suddenly rang in Wu Liang's ears.

As if someone were sitting on his desk, a creaking sound came from the tabletop.

"Han Yu, didn't you go to your computer class?"

He opened his eyes and looked at the girl who was sitting on the table, staring at him intently.

Wu Liang smiled faintly. Why did this girl skip class again?

"When have you ever seen me attend one of those low-class courses?"

Han Yu crossed her arms and casually shrugged her shoulders.

She never took those useless courses; they were dispensable to her.

"If you didn't have the ability to help Su Qian, why did you agree to help her in the first place?"

"You only hold a very small portion of the rights; isn't that basically just dangling a carrot in front of Su Qian?"

Han Yu leaned down and looked closely at Wu Liang, staring at him with a displeased expression.

She knew very well what Wu Liang was capable of; the other party only controlled a small part of the Wu family's immense power.

If anyone asks her why she knows so much about Wu Liang's ownership, ha, is that even a question? They don't even know who she is.

After this love war began, she had already had someone investigate everything about Wu Liang thoroughly.

Knowing your enemy and yourself is the key to victory. She put in a lot of effort to win over Wu Liang.

"You really know a lot, but you're right, I really can't help her with my current abilities."

"That's why I need to talk to my father and persuade him to let me help Su Qian."

Wu Liang glanced at Han Yu's fair thighs beneath her skirt, then looked away and stopped looking at her.

"Why go to such lengths? You and your father don't have a good relationship, do you?"

Han Yu noticed Wu Liang's gaze, a teasing smile playing on her lips as she turned and sat down directly in front of Wu Liang.

Her plump, white legs were crossed, revealing a glimpse of her dark, absolute territory beneath her skirt.

Facing Wu Liang face to face, Han Yu lowered her head and whispered in his ear.

"You wouldn't happen to have fallen for Su Qian, would you?"

A warm breeze blew from his earlobe, making Wu Liang feel a little itchy.

Wu Liang had no choice but to turn his gaze back to Han Yu and look at her directly.

But as soon as he looked back, he realized that the other person was a little too close to him.

Moreover, because Han Yu was crossing her legs, he could easily see the other person's... by glancing down slightly.

"She is our president, and I have received a lot of help from her before."

Wu Liang shook his head to clear his mind of distractions and fixed his gaze on Han Yu's delicate face.

Han Yu was even bolder than Ning Shuang and Milutin when they were alone together.

"I hope you'll view Su Qian with the same mindset then."

"Otherwise, I don't want to have another competitor on my side."

Although it was already a lot, Han Yu gazed at Wu Liang's handsome face and thought silently.

Even if Su Qian believes she has great self-control, she might still... after this incident passes.

"Actually, I've always wanted to ask you a question: what exactly do you like about me?"

Wu Liang suddenly looked up at Han Yu. He had asked this question before, but the other party had never answered him.

He was very curious about what it was about him that attracted her, and why Han Yu was so persistent in her pursuit of him.

Do you need a reason to like someone?

Han Yu suddenly reached out and lifted Wu Liang's chin with a wicked smile.

Deep affection flowed through her amethyst-like eyes.

For Han Yu, liking someone doesn't need any reason at all.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Things Lovers Should Do

"Student Council Room"

"So, your father wants to meet me tonight?"

Wu Liang, who was suddenly called to the student council by Su Qian, asked in a bewildered manner.

Although he had guessed that this day would come, he never expected it to come so soon.

Hey, isn't this development speed a bit too fast?

Logically, after Su Qian told her father about this, shouldn't the parents have remained silent for a while?

Why is the other person acting completely out of the ordinary? We just became boyfriend and girlfriend yesterday and they're already meeting each other's parents today?

So, are you supposed to go on a date tomorrow, go straight to a hotel the day after tomorrow, and then fast forward to the engagement party the day after that?

"I don't know what my father was thinking, but he did ask me to bring you home today. He said he wanted to have a good talk with you."

Su Qian sat on the sofa and smiled bitterly. In fact, she had not expected her father to have such a big reaction after she mentioned Wu Liang's name.

However, a large part of the reason may be that the father's perception of Wu Liang was still that of a villainous young master who did all sorts of evil deeds.

Perhaps fearing that he was being threatened by Wu Liang, the father decided to meet with Wu Liang in person.

"Actually, I explained to my father yesterday that you have undergone a transformation, but he obviously did not believe what I said."

Su Qian shrank back a little embarrassedly. She had spoken many good words about Wu Liang to her father yesterday.

The article mentions Wu Liang's recent performance and how she helped reconcile with Ning Shuang.

But her father did not believe her. Instead, he thought she was coerced into speaking up for Wu Liang.

"What should I prepare? Or should I bring something with me?"

Wu Liang rubbed his aching temples; he hadn't had a chance to talk to Wu Xingsheng yet.

This is troublesome. He originally planned to contact Wu Xingsheng first and then connect with the Su Family.

After all, having confidence makes one speak more confidently and less likely to panic over such trivial matters.

However, Su Qian's father's invitation completely disrupted his plans, turning things upside down.

"You don't need to prepare anything. Father said that all you need to do is go there."

Su Qian poured Wu Liang a cup of black tea and placed it on the table, then gestured for him to sit on the sofa.

What's wrong with Wu Liang today? He seems so nervous. The other person's reaction isn't like his usual self.

"Wouldn't it be alright if the person just got there...?"

Wu Liang glanced at the black tea on the table and slowly shook his head.
