Wang Long’s sly voice came through the phone.
Cao Cheng frowned. What the hell, was he really that kind of person? How did this guy immediately think of him for something like this?!
“How tempting is she? Tell me.”
“Hehe, Young Master, I’ve seen her. Slim waist, long legs, and extremely pretty. Not any worse than that Xu Qingrou from today. Most importantly, I heard she’s still a virgin.”
“How do you know she’s a virgin?”
“I heard it from the manager. Said she’s a college student. The reason she’s working there is because someone in her family is seriously ill and needs money urgently. And even though she’s working there, she still…”
As Wang Long kept describing, Cao Cheng gradually fell into thought.
Of course, he wasn’t thinking about how attractive the girl was.
What Wang Long said sounded way too cliché.
A missing father, a sick mother, a younger sister still in school, and a broken girl struggling to survive.
If he hadn’t transmigrated into this world, Cao Cheng might have sympathized with her situation and extended a helping hand… even sacrificing a bit of his own “vigorous body” to help her escape her suffering sooner…
But this was a wish-fulfillment novel world.
And both the manager and Wang Long wouldn’t dare lie to him.
With such a background…
Cao Cheng couldn’t help but suspect she might also be a female lead.
“What’s her name?”
“Ah? She… she’s called Ye Yao.”
Hearing the name Wang Long stammered out only strengthened Cao Cheng’s suspicion.
“Alright. Tell the manager to reserve her for me. I’ll go take a look tomorrow when I have time.”
“Got it, Young Master. Just notify me in advance when you’re coming. I’ll go talk to the manager now.”
Cao Cheng hung up the phone with satisfaction, then asked the system, ‘Is this Ye Yao a female lead?’
[The system can only confirm after the host meets her.]
Cao Cheng was just about to complain when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
“Young Master, the dishes are ready. Should we bring them up, or will you come downstairs to eat?”
The servant’s voice saved the system from his complaints.
After all, he had been “busy” all afternoon and was indeed hungry.
Only those who work themselves to exhaustion…
Need proper nourishment…
Meanwhile.
Wang Long looked at the ended call and let out a sigh of relief.
He stood up and kicked open the private room door, glancing at the underlings guarding outside. “Go open another room and have fun.”
Then he reached out toward the woman from earlier with predatory intent. Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
“Ah!” The woman screamed as Wang Long grabbed her hair and dragged her back into the room.
“Are you looking to die?!”
“You—” The woman’s face flushed red, but before she could finish, Wang Long threw several stacks of cash at her.
“Boss, how do you want me to die…”
…
The next day.
Inside the messy room, Cao Cheng stretched lazily, looking thoroughly refreshed.
He glanced at the time. It was now 10:00 in the morning.
He walked out of the room and entered the one next door, picking up a tablet to check whether Xu Qingrou was at home.
Logically, she shouldn’t be there at this hour, and should be out looking for a new place.
But in the surveillance feed, Xu Qingrou was still there, washing clothes…
Cao Cheng found it a little strange.
After watching for a moment, he stopped paying attention and went about his own matters.
…
(Time skipped.)
…
Time passed quietly, and before long, it was evening.
Inside the back seat of a Rolls-Royce, Cao Cheng sat with a helpless expression.
Meanwhile, Su Jinhe beside him was very happy, holding onto his sleeve and softly chatting with him.
But Cao Cheng kept brushing her off. Even the driver and Wang Long in the front were doing the same, which made her unhappy.
Taking advantage of the moment when the two in front weren’t paying attention, Su Jinhe stood up slightly and leaned close to Cao Cheng’s ear, whispering, “A Cheng, where exactly are we going?”
Cao Cheng sighed, not wanting to answer at all.
He couldn’t exactly tell her he was going out to have fun, could he?
He wasn’t like the original owner, who would shamelessly bring her along and openly say it.
But this girl was both obedient and stubborn.
In a moment of carelessness earlier, he had agreed to let her follow him tonight.
Cao Cheng felt a headache coming on.
Looks like I need to find a way to keep her at home. I can’t have her following me around all the time and getting in the way.
For now, he could only say, “You’ll know when we get there.”
Su Jinhe pouted, clearly dissatisfied with his answer, but she didn’t dare press him further. So she turned to Wang Long instead. “Xiao Long, where are we going today?”
“Oh, Sister Su, we’re just going out for a casual drive,” Wang Long replied with a fawning smile, though his eyes carried deep helplessness.
How could he dare say they were taking Cao Cheng out for fun? If Cao Cheng’s parents found out, he’d be finished.
“Really…”
Wang Long turned back around, staring out the window with a defeated expression.
Seeing that she was about to continue asking, Cao Cheng realized he couldn’t be too lenient with her and needed to be firm.
Before she could speak again, he said, “Can you be quiet for a bit? You’ve been talking nonstop the whole way!”
“But… I…” Su Jinhe looked aggrieved.
“But what? Say another word and I’ll deal with you when we get back tonight!” Cao Cheng said harshly.
Su Jinhe blinked, her eyes quickly filling with tears…
…
Time passed.
Soon, the car stopped in front of “Honglangman.”
“We’ve arrived, Young Master.”
Before Cao Cheng could speak, Su Jinhe had already seen where they were and couldn’t sit still anymore.
“Wang Long! Didn’t you learn your lesson last time? How dare you bring Young Master to a place like this again!”
Wang Long let out an awkward laugh, then turned around with a bitter expression, silently pleading with Cao Cheng to speak up for him.
Last time, when he had brought Cao Cheng to a place like this and Su Jinhe found out, Cao Cheng’s father had ordered his own father to break his leg.
Of course, it wasn’t that Cao Cheng’s father opposed him having fun.
He was just worried that women from such places might not be clean, and if Cao Cheng caught something bad…
Seeing this, Cao Cheng couldn’t ignore it. If Wang Long got his leg broken again, who would help him find… well, never mind.
After all, he was his subordinate.
“I told him to bring me here. Don’t go spreading this around.”
“But…”
“But what? If you keep talking, go back right now! And if you tell my parents about this, you can pack your things and leave tomorrow. Got it?”
“I… I understand.”
Hearing her answer, Cao Cheng immediately got out of the car, while Wang Long followed behind him as if escaping.
Watching them walk straight into Honglangman, Su Jinhe felt helpless, but even more wronged.
Wronged that Cao Cheng had scolded her again and even threatened to punish her later…
Yet she could do nothing about him.
And when she thought about that “punishment”…
Her face flushed red.
Then she redirected all her frustration toward Wang Long.
That bastard brought A Cheng here again.
But just as she was about to report this to Cao Cheng’s parents, she remembered her promise and his threat…
In the end, Su Jinhe could only give up on the idea and sit in the car, muttering curses under her breath, calling Wang Long a scumbag and a piece of trash…
