Northern Kingdom, Snow Capital.
The Lu family's business reception was held at the villa estate, with celebrities gathering and lights twinkling.
In a corner, Lu Chengwen shivered and woke up.
Quickly accepting the memory text in his mind, Lu Chengwen felt so depressed he wanted to die.
This was the seventh time.
He had suffered a car accident while delivering takeout, was then pulled into a system, and transmigrated into an online web novel as a villain.
According to the system's prompt, as long as he could survive until the end without being killed by the protagonist, he would receive corresponding rewards and return to the real world.
Firstly, he had no choice, and secondly, his mother's illness couldn't be delayed any longer; he needed to earn money for her surgery, so Lu Chengwen could only accept the challenge.
However, in the previous six times, his deaths were more tragic each time.
The protagonists in web novels were too abnormal!
Completely unreasonable perverts.
They were all exceptionally talented and incredibly powerful, skilled in medicine, ancient martial arts, cultivation, gambling, clairvoyance… they knew everything; anything You could think of, they knew.
The most hateful thing was their explosive luck!
No matter how the villain struggled, in the end, he would be struck down by a single palm, then the protagonist would drop a cool line, and walk off with a beautiful girl.
Moreover, all the beautiful women were his. Yes, as long as they had some looks, they were definitely part of his harem; there was no room for negotiation on this point.
Lu Chengwen was once killed by Long Aotian just for saying a few more words to his woman.
Was there still justice?
Was there still law?
Lu Chengwen quickly turned and ran to the bathroom, starting to calculate.
He had already died at the hands of: Xiao Yan, Ye Feng, Chu Feng, Ye Chen, Long Aotian, and Zhao Ritian.
This time, the book was called “War God's Journey Through the Flowery City: A Compendium of Beauties.”
What a disgusting name!
The protagonist was Long Aotian again.
He was the Borderland War God, returning to unify all forces in the Northern Kingdom. He was currently living incognito as a security guard, approaching Leng Qingqiu.
Today's plot was Chapter Nine. He would stand up to protect Leng Qingqiu during the announcement of his (Lu Chengwen's) engagement to Leng Qingqiu. He (Lu Chengwen) would show off to him, get one leg broken by him, and then go offline for a few chapters to recover.
Meanwhile, Long Aotian would capture Leng Qingqiu's heart, and the two would then become inseparable and shameless…
Lu Chengwen splashed water on his face, glaring at himself in the mirror, gritting his teeth: “This time, I'm going to survive until the end and take the system's reward back to cure my mom!”
After calming down, Lu Chengwen, who intended to play it safe and drag out the late game, walked out of the bathroom.
As soon as he came out, he saw Leng Qingqiu standing at the door, waiting for him.
Dressed in a noble evening gown, truly stunning, eclipsing the moon and shaming flowers, with a flawless, exquisite face.
A curvaceous figure and a cold, proud expression.
No need to ask, this was definitely the first female lead!
The eldest daughter of the Leng family.
The young female CEO of Qianfeng Group.
The goddess he had licked for three years.
The most important label was: Long Aotian's woman!
Lu Chengwen forced a smile, and before he could speak, Leng Qingqiu said coldly: “Lu Chengwen, I will not get engaged to You, give up!”
Lu Chengwen smiled, thinking:
“Big sister, please spare me. Get engaged to You? I still want to live a few more years!”
“Your figure is good, and your face is top-notch, but it's a pity You're a brainless female lead, easily fooled by Long Aotian, willing to be part of his harem.”
“Long Aotian taking Leng Qingqiu basically means taking over the Leng family. What a pity for the Leng family's generations of wealth, it will all benefit the one surnamed Long.”
Lu Chengwen said with a smile: “I agree.”
“You agree?”
Leng Qingqiu was very surprised.
Something was off. Lu Chengwen clearly hadn't moved, but how did he say so many words?
She only heard “I agree” come out of his mouth; what were those other sentences?
And he had been pursuing her for three whole years!
During these three years, she had tried everything, but he just wouldn't let go, always clinging to her like a persistent dog.
When his reputation was ruined, he used family power, involving both sets of parents, to force her to get engaged to him today!
What was happening now?
Lu Chengwen smiled and said: “Qingqiu, I've thought it through. We really aren't suitable. From now on, let's just be ordinary friends.”
Thinking internally:
“Go quickly and be Long Aotian's harem! You, and another nine hundred ninety-nine women, will all fawn over that man, lick his shoes, and loudly praise his greatness! Roar!”
“The top priority now is to quickly deal with this silly woman. This girl thinks she's an invincible genius, but in reality, she's just meat on Long Aotian's chopping board, already ninety percent cooked, just waiting for me to make a move.”
This time, Leng Qingqiu was sure: she could hear Lu Chengwen's inner thoughts!
What, I'm going to lick someone's shoes?
And serve one man along with another nine hundred ninety-nine women?
Who is Leng Qingqiu? How could I demean myself so much?
What on earth was going on in Lu Chengwen's dog brain?
Wait, Long Aotian? The security guard I hired a few days ago?
I, Leng Qingqiu, am going to be his lickspittle!?
Leng Qingqiu's expression grew increasingly furious, staring intently at Lu Chengwen, wishing she could pounce on him and bite him to death.
Lu Chengwen was stunned, thinking:
“What's wrong with this silly woman? I'm not even getting engaged anymore, and You're still so angry?”
“But she's Long Aotian's woman, so I absolutely can't offend her. Luckily, female leads' brains are all a bit flawed, so she should be easy to appease.”
He quickly smiled and said: “Let's go clarify with the elders. Come on, come on, please take your time…”
Leng Qingqiu strode into the inner room, her chest heaving with anger.
Lu Chengwen!
You're something else!
Three years! For three whole years, You sent me gifts every day, always showing attentiveness…
Were all those years of flattery and fawning fake?
Now, in your mind, You call me “silly woman” repeatedly, say my brain is flawed, and act like You can't wait to be eight feet away from me…
What do You take me for?
I'm going to see what trick You're playing!
Lu Chengwen walked behind her, thinking:
“Alright, alright, three years of effort wasted, but as long as I break off the engagement with this silly woman, with my villain status, where can't I pick up ten or eight pretty girls to make myself happy?”
“She likes being part of a harem, no choice, she's naturally destined to be in a harem.”
“I must cut all ties with this stupid woman, absolutely no lingering connections!”
Leng Qingqiu couldn't take it anymore. She suddenly stopped, turned, and glared furiously at Lu Chengwen.
Lu Chengwen was startled, then immediately smiled: “Are You worried I'm tricking You? I, Lu Chengwen, swear to the heavens, I will absolutely not pull any stunts! When I say cancel the engagement, I mean cancel the engagement.”
“And from now on, I will absolutely not harass You again. In fact, it will be hard for You to even see me. We will have no intersection from this point on, completely disappearing from each other's lives! Are You happy if I disappear?”
Leng Qingqiu was about to explode with anger.
What? I, Leng Qingqiu, used to be your goddess, and now I'm a piece of trash?
You're that annoyed with me? So annoyed You can't even wait a minute?
This dog of a man! He's simply… infuriating!
At this moment, the main door opened, and people from both the Leng and Lu families saw them standing at the doorway, confronting each other.
“Oh dear, are You two arguing again?”
“Exactly, exactly, if there's something to discuss, come inside, don't stand in the doorway!”
Lu Chengwen entered the room and shook hands with Leng Qingqiu's mother and father: “Hello, Uncle and Auntie.”
Before the elders could speak, Lu Chengwen said: “Uncle and Auntie, Mom and Dad, Qingqiu and I have discussed it, and we're not planning to get engaged.”
Lu Chengwen's face was full of sincerity:
“Qingqiu is strong, independent, intelligent, and brave. She should find someone more suitable for her, someone who understands her better, and most importantly, that person should be her true, heartfelt love of a lifetime. We should support her and wish her well!”
Lu Chengwen feigned sorrow, pounding his chest: “Although I like her very much, love her, and cherish her more than I cherish myself. However, true love is fulfillment, it is letting go!”
Lu Chengwen himself was moved, his mind filled with that cliché song as background music: There's a kind of love called letting go, giving up eternity for love…
Everyone was still.
Lu Guanghong didn't believe his son could be so reasonable.
I'm his father! What kind of person he is, I wouldn't know?
This scoundrel is probably brewing some new mischief!
Lu Chengwen was very satisfied with his acting!
“Poor Leng family, generations of family assets will ultimately benefit that Long Aotian.”
“These heads of wealthy families are truly something; it's bad enough that their daughters become part of someone's harem, but they also hand over hundreds of billions in family assets. They clearly have a screw loose.”
Leng Qingqiu didn't know why she could suddenly hear Lu Chengwen's inner thoughts.
But Lu Chengwen seemed to know something incredible. If his predictions were true, then this plot was too ridiculous!
I'm going to be part of someone's harem? And it's the bodyguard I hired a few days ago?
I can't let this Lu Chengwen off, he's definitely up to something!
Lu Chengwen was still acting in front, passionately explaining that his refusal to get engaged was due to his noble character and upright conduct, and that he genuinely wished well for Leng Qingqiu and the Leng family.
Leng Qingqiu stood beside him, watching his performance coldly, her lungs practically bursting with anger.
Everyone was stunned.
Lu Guanghong looked at Leng Qingqiu: “Qingqiu, what's your opinion?”
Leng Qingqiu smiled slightly, her words astonishing everyone:
“Uncle and Auntie, Mom and Dad, I agree to get engaged to Brother Chengwen.”
Lu Chengwen turned his head, his eyes wider than they had ever been!
He looked at Leng Qingqiu as if he had seen a ghost.
Leng Qingqiu's expression was icy, even carrying a hint of a provocative cold smile.
