Chapter 397

"How much longer are you going to make that child wait! Don't you even look at the time?"

"You set the meeting time, but you were late. This will leave a bad impression on the children."

The beautiful woman reached out her small hand and poked Su Chengluo's chest, complaining.

Wu Liang, that kid, arrived quite early. How come this old man is so late?

You're late, fine, but you're already home, so why aren't you coming in? Instead, you're just standing at the door muttering to yourself. What are you daydreaming about?

"What? You mean Sisi has already brought Wu Liang back?"

Su Chengluo's eyes widened upon hearing this.

What?! That bastard Wu Liang has already done it?!

"Yes, didn't you say you wanted Qianqian to bring Wu Liang over earlier today? I've already entertained them, and they're waiting for you in the living room now."

"I have to say, Sisi has really good taste! She actually found such an outstanding and perfect young man. She's truly my daughter; her taste is exactly as good as mine back then!"

The woman's displeasure vanished considerably when Wu Liang was mentioned.

A cute and shy smile appeared on her face, which originally looked somewhat old, making the woman look much younger in an instant.

What the hell did you say?

Su Chengluo was stunned by his wife's words. Who was his wife talking about?

An outstanding and perfect handsome guy? Wu Liang? I don't think they're talking about Wu Liang, he's a gang leader.

"I told you you're late! As an adult, go apologize to Wu Liang and the others!"

"The child is still waiting for you obediently in the living room. Can't you be a little more energetic? Look at you, all listless and droopy!"

The woman patted Su Chengluo's chest twice. What's wrong with this guy today?

He's been behaving very strangely from the very beginning, with an expression as if someone owes him money.

"No, that's Wu Liang, my dear. Our daughter brought that guy Wu Liang back with her."

Su Chengluo stared blankly at his overjoyed wife.

Why did his wife seem so pleased when she talked about Wu Liang?

Is he insane, or is the world insane? How could his wife be with a thug...?

"Alright, alright, go and take a look."

The woman rolled her eyes at Su Chengluo, then smiled and carried the fruit platter into the living room.

"Oh... oh oh..."

Su Chengluo nodded blankly, his previous seriousness and solemnity completely shattered by his wife's actions.

What's going on? Did his wife get persuaded by that brat Wu Liang? Or is it something else...?

"Never mind, let's go take a look first."

Su Chengluo shook his head, clearing his mind of distractions. He slipped on his slippers and hurriedly ran into the living room. He needed to see for himself what was going on...

"Hello, you must be Su Chengluo, Xixi's father, right?"

"It is my honor to be invited here by you today. Please forgive me for this first meeting."

Just as Su Chengluo ran into the living room...

A handsome and tall young man stood politely in front of him, bowing respectfully, demonstrating the utmost courtesy expected of a guest.

The young man's dark, deep eyes reflected Su Chengluo's shocked face, and a beautiful curve slowly appeared on the edge of his thin lips.

"Who are you?"

Su Chengluo was stunned. Who was this extraordinary young man...?

Chapter 40: Wu Liang is serious!

"Who are you?"

Su Chengluo stared blankly at the handsome and talented young man in front of him.

Who is this? He didn't invite anyone over today.

Moreover, he didn't recognize the young man in front of him at all. Where did this person suddenly come from?

"Uncle, I am Wu Liang, and I am Xixi's current boyfriend."

"I heard from Sisi that you wanted to see me, so I asked Sisi to bring me here."

Wu Liang raised his right hand and extended it in front of Su Chengluo with a polite smile.

The man in front of him was Su Qian's father Su Chengluo, but he didn't have a deep impression of him.

My only understanding of Su Chengluo was that he was a rather polite and gentle middle-aged man.

After all, he hadn't completely mastered the game; he had only completed half of it.

His success rate in winning over the student council president Su Qian, is only 30%, so he doesn't know much about Su Qian's subsequent storyline...

Huh? A game???

As if realizing something was wrong, Wu Liang's face instantly lost all color.

His face was as pale as chalk, and his eyes suddenly became empty and dazed, as if he had lost his soul.

Holy crap!!!

Wu Liang roared inwardly.

Yes! He's currently living in the game as Young Master Wu Liang.

Moreover, he is currently on a path to certain death, and no matter what he does, he will die in a year.

Even though he didn't bully or oppress the male and female protagonists like in the original game, and even though he became close friends with them.

However, since this ending is Wu Liang's inevitable death, the forced convergence of the world lines will ensure that he dies on that day.

It could be due to a car accident, an illness, or some other random reason.

Perhaps it will still look like this then. "The sun is setting, the clouds on the horizon are exceptionally red, I am terminally ill and lying on the hospital bed with medical tubes inserted all over my body, even breathing has become the greatest difficulty."

"Meanwhile, her close friends, Nan Zhu and He Xue, surrounded the bed with sorrowful and painful expressions. They suppressed their grief and recounted the beautiful memories of the past year while gazing tearfully at their own impending passing."

"But at that time I was so weak that I couldn't say a word, or even a single syllable. Moving a finger was an impossible task. I could only look at the people around me with a regretful smile. Finally, as the setting sun disappeared completely from the ward, I stopped breathing on the hospital bed, and the heart rate monitor eventually became a straight line."

"The Nan Zhu who accompanied her to the very end, He Xue and the others would lie on her lifeless body and cry loudly, venting their grief over the loss of their dearest friend."

"..."

Wu Liang, snapping out of his reverie, swallowed hard; his face was ashen and extremely pale.

Damn it, how could he have completely forgotten something so vital that could cost him his life?

Is it simply because life has been quite comfortable lately? Or has it been because we've let our guard down without sensing the impending crisis?

Or perhaps the recent string of events has kept his life so busy that he hasn't even noticed the passage of time?

A year? A year my foot! Two or three months have already passed, and time is visibly shrinking.

He's so oblivious he completely forgot about something like this, damn it...

"If the male lead can't achieve a true ending with each of the female leads, I'll be tormented to death by illness."

Wu Liang bit his lip and murmured softly, "This is the only way I can save myself from certain death."

However, the male lead has not had any connection with any of the female leads at all. On the contrary, he, the third party, is very close to He Xue, Su Qian, and Ning Shuang.

This is ridiculous! He has to get that bastard Nan Zhu into his camp immediately.

"You're saying you're Wu Liang? You really are the eldest young master of the Wu family???"

Su Chengluo rubbed his eyes hard and stared dumbfounded at the polite young man in front of him.

It was as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight; his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

What kind of ridiculous joke is this? Is this incredibly gentlemanly young man the same scoundrel from before?

"Huh? Ah, it's me, I'm Wu Liang."

Wu Liang, who had just snapped out of his reverie, gave a pale smile.

No, now is not the time for him to think about Nan Zhu's affairs. Right now, the priority is to deal with Su Qian's problems.

If he cannot help the Su Family out of their predicament, then Su Qian will definitely marry into another family.

The only way he could avoid a death ending was if the male protagonist and all the female protagonists achieved a truly perfect ending.

If Su Qian ends up with someone else, then it would be meaningless for the male lead to complete all the storylines with the other female leads.

Without Su Qian as the female lead, a truly perfect ending is impossible, which also means he would still die on the day he was destined to die...

"Mr. Su, I will absolutely not give Su Qian to another family."

"I will keep her no matter what means I have to use. I will absolutely not allow you to let her marry another man."

Wu Liang suddenly reached out and placed his hand on Su Chengluo's shoulder, speaking with a solemn expression.

He absolutely cannot let Su Qian go; he must make sure Su Qian stays obediently by the male lead's side no matter what.

If Su Qian gets together with another man, he's doomed!!!

"Ah... you... please calm down... let's talk this out... let's live peacefully..."

Su Chengluo was quite frightened by Wu Liang's actions.

His expression changed drastically, especially after feeling the immense force and crushing sensation coming from his shoulder.

Holy crap, this kid's grip is insane! He's practically crushed my shoulder.

But this Wu Liang is actually so interested in Su Qian, directly stating his purpose right away. This kid is really something else...

Moreover, the serious and earnest expression on his face didn't seem like an act; it was an expression that could only be shown when he genuinely had feelings for Su Qian.

Could it be that this kid actually has feelings for Sissi...? But why now of all times...? This is just too much of a coincidence...

But is this kid really that villain Wu Liang? He's completely a different person. What's going on?

"Wu Liang..."

Su Qian stared blankly at Wu Liang, who was talking to Su Chengluo. Every word he said felt like a heavy hammer hitting her heart.

Am I really that important to Wu Liang, or is this just an act Wu Liang puts on to resemble his father...?

"I'm serious."

Wu Liang suddenly turned his head to look at Su Qian behind him.

I will absolutely not allow you to marry another man. The only person who can have you is the male protagonist in this game!!

"Huh?"

Su Qian's heart skipped a beat. Was Wu Liang trying to prove to her that he wasn't acting... and that he genuinely wanted her to stay by his side...?

Chapter 41: Su Chengluo's Approval

It's impossible for Su Chengluo not to be nervous right now, after all, the young master of the Wu family is standing in front of him.

Moreover, for some reason, this Wu Liang was completely different from the villainous young master he remembered.

He had originally planned to be a little more assertive and stern when dealing with that scoundrel.

First, give the other party a show of force to let Wu Liang know his authority, and then clearly state that he will not allow Qianqian to be with the other party.

Originally, this was his plan before he even met Wu Liang...

The current situation has exceeded his expectations. Wu Liang is no longer the villainous scoundrel he once was; he is now a gentlemanly and polite young man who is deeply infatuated with Qianqian.

It's no wonder that such an outstanding young man and Xixi are a perfect match, and Xixi seems to like Wu Liang very much as well.

It seems that Xixi was not deliberately being with Wu Liang for the sake of the Su Family. That girl really had her eye on the eldest son of the Wu family and liked him very much.

He had misunderstood Xixi before. Everything Xixi told her was the truth. Wu Liang had indeed undergone a qualitative transformation.
