The System said, "Host, your task is to complete the villainous plots: saving the amnesiac CEO with ulterior motives, drugging your brother-in-law, seducing your adoptive brother... Got it?"...
Chapter 113 Fiancé [VIP]
After kissing for a while in the living room, the two stumbled and kissed their way into the bedroom.
With his back against the wall next to the door, Qingran raised his hands and let the man take off his sweater for him.
The neckline, close to his neck, made his smooth black hair look messy, contrasting with his flushed face from being kissed, making him both alluring and adorable.
Cen Tingye was deeply moved. Her throat bobbed as she kissed his burning cheek.
Qingran tilted her head and smiled, her affectionate eyes curving into beautiful crescents. As the man drew closer, she wrapped her arms around his neck and said, "We were in the same position last time."
He was referring to the time when Cen Tingye suddenly appeared in place of Cen Guanzhou, only to discover that he was still Ran Yu, and angrily pinned him against the wall.
Cen Tingye wrapped her arms around his waist, occasionally kneading the fullness and softness in her palms: "Are you being so willful just because others can't beat you?"
Qingran ran her fingers through his short hair: "Tingye isn't just anyone."
"Besides," Qingran said casually, her fingers slightly curled as she tugged at her short hair, "even if you could beat me, would you be willing to hit me?"
He wouldn't now, but if it were the first time they met... knowing Cen Tingye as he does himself, he would most likely not hold back.
"If you can't change your willful nature, then you should cultivate diligently and not slack off." Otherwise, you might get beaten to death one day.
"I'm working on it." Qingran stepped down her pants, which had fallen to her ankles.
Seeing that he was so self-aware, Cen Tingye stirred his wet fingers inquiringly: "Besides me and Cen Guanzhou, how many other men have you been involved with?"
Qingran frowned slightly, bit her lower lip, and let out a soft chuckle through her nose: "I think I've answered that question before?"
Cen Tingye's eyes darkened: "Five?"
"It could be one, hmm." He then let out a short "hmm."
The tingling itch inside her body made Qingran keep rubbing against Cen Tingye.
Whether rubbing cheek to cheek or tilting her head to kiss the man's lips, her clingy manner truly resembled that of a snake shedding its skin.
Cen Tingye's heart was aroused by his teasing. The fire in her heart and the fire outside her heart, the kisses on the root of his tongue made him make more moving sounds, while he subtly inquired between breaths.
"Do they also share the same soul as me and Cen Guanzhou?"
"Which world have you experienced?"
"Who were you originally? Where did you come from?"
Qingran just kept humming without saying a word, and occasionally when Cen Tingye tormented her too much, she would draw out a long, soft, trembling voice and act coquettishly.
"...Don't, don't ask anymore, I want you."
"Tsk, you always know how to change the subject." Cen Tingye kissed him resentfully, then carried him to the bedside.
He leaned back against the headboard, rubbed the soft flesh in his hands, patted it lightly, and said, "Isn't this the position you're most familiar with? Do it yourself."
Qingran glanced at him lightly with her eyes, causing the man's breathing to quicken slightly before he slowly adjusted his movements.
When the abdominal muscles under the hand are tensed, they become hard and stiff.
The man had fair skin, and the bulging blue veins resembled winding tree branches, extending all the way to his V-line (V-line) at his hips.
Qingran pulled her clothes over her hands, revealing the strikingly handsome man in the scene.
The next second, she was pulled up by the man again.
Cen Tingye: "It's hot."
He was a little unhappy that Qingran was so far away from him, so he pulled her down onto himself.
Feeling the hand pressing firmly on her back, leaving no room for refusal, Qingran asked, "Aren't you hot anymore?"
Body heat combined with pajamas isn't much hotter than just wearing pajamas alone.
“I can endure it,” Cen Tingye said in a hoarse voice.
He placed one hand on Qingran's back and the other hand caressed the smooth skin of her lower back, in a posture of holding her in his arms.
"You're really enjoying being Ran Yu now, aren't you planning to go back to the Yu family?"
"I'll definitely go back, but not so often." Qingran nestled comfortably against the man's neck.
Self-reliance is good, but he still prefers to reap the benefits without sowing.
Cen Tingye then recalled recognizing him at the tea restaurant that day, where there was a fat old man next to him, and couldn't help but think of Shen Zhou.
During the time he was unconscious, Shen Zhou often talked to him about transmigrating into the book and the plot, so although he never pressed Shen Zhou for details, he had a general understanding of the plot of this world.
Including the plot where Yu Qingran was supposed to marry Jay Chou.
Thinking of this, a familiar sinister look crept into the man's eyes: "You're going to follow the script and marry that old man from that day?"
"No need for that."
Qingran, who could tell Cen Tingye's expression without even looking, raised her hand and touched the man's cheek: "But if you don't marry Jay Chou..."
Cen Tingye tilted her head and sucked on his finger: "Follow me."
Qingran: "My dad's target is Cen Guanzhou from the Cen family."
Cen Tingye: "...Aren't I one?"
Qingran smiled mischievously, and was immediately kissed by the man who lifted her chin.
The old residential area generally has poor renovation conditions. Although the landlord took good care of the house that Qingran rented, the furniture in the house was still inevitably old.
Especially that old-fashioned double bed, which creaks and groans at the slightest sound.
Not wanting to disturb the neighbors, Qingran skillfully set up a soundproof barrier around the bedroom. Cen Tingye noticed his actions and asked him what he was doing.
Qingran, panting, described the effects, which only emboldened the man, who then became even more brazen.
The undulating, intertwined shadows were reflected on the window where the curtains were not drawn.
The moon was bright and the stars were few outside the window. The elementary school playground below was quiet and deserted. The swaying shadows of the trees were projected onto the bright ground by the moonlight. It was a rare clear night.
*
"Coo coo coo~ Coo coo coo~"
As dawn broke, a hand reached out from under the swollen blankets and touched the incessantly vibrating phone in the gap, casually swiping it to its ear.
"Who?" The man's voice, still hoarse from the early morning, came from his closed eyes.
Xiao Chun almost blurted out "Boss," but quickly swallowed the greeting, checked her phone screen, and confirmed she hadn't made a mistake.
Okay, she guessed who was answering the phone!
She cleared her throat and calmly asked, "Hello, could you please ask the owner if he's coming to the shop today?"
The inexplicable request made Cen Tingye lift one eyelid and see that the caller ID showed "Xiao Chun".
Based on the analysis, it should be that employee at Qingran Flower Shop.
The crazy memories of last night just flooded back into my mind.
Why doesn't Qingran's phone have an unlock password?
Lost in thought, Cen Tingye lifted the covers and found the person sleeping soundly with their head resting against her shoulder. After a two-second silence, she replied to the person opposite her.
"I'm not coming."
"?" Xiao Chun, who hadn't heard his question at all, said seriously, "I asked you to help me ask my boss."
I'm not asking you.
Cen Tingye: "I said he can't come, didn't you understand?"
"..."
Realizing the meaning behind those words, Xiao Chun's face suddenly turned bright red: "I-I understand. Please pass on the message that I will be on time for get off work today, so the boss can rest assured."
After stammering through his words, he hung up the phone in a hurry.
Cen Tingye closed her eyes and put the phone aside after hanging up.
"You're scaring my employees again."
The muffled voice in my ear was soft and languid, carrying the drowsiness and laziness of someone just waking up; it sounded more like flirting than accusation.
Cen Tingye slipped his arm under the other person's neck, rolled over and hugged him, rubbed his chin against the other person's smooth and soft hair, and then suddenly realized something.
"Again?" He opened his eyes.
He had an excellent memory and was absolutely certain that he had only met that junior employee once, when he went to Qingran to register for divorce.
He was interrupted by Cen Guanzhou halfway through his sentence. He hadn't even exchanged a single word with that junior employee, so where did this intimidation come from?
Qingran's drowsy mind gradually cleared. Oh, the one Xiaochun said had an intimidating aura was Cen Guanzhou.
He didn't panic even when he said something wrong; he gently rubbed his forehead against the man's neck.
"I got them mixed up. Last time it was for watching the daytime."
Cen Tingye used her right hand to pull the person who was resting on her arm directly onto her body and made them lie down.
"Heh, it seems you and Cen Guanzhou had a good time while I was away?"
Qingran blinked as her head was cradled in the man's hands. Her chin rested on his firm chest, her black hair was slightly disheveled, and one side of her fair face bore a red mark from sleeping.
Cen Tingye stared at him: "...You're becoming more and more reckless."
He was referring to Qingran mentioning Cen Guanzhou in front of him.
Qingran tilted her head and rubbed her palm against his: "That's because you're becoming less and less bothered."
Cen Tingye twitched the corner of her mouth: "I guess I've heard you mention it so much since the first time we met that I've become numb to it."
Qingran didn't expose him; if you say he's numb, then he's numb.
The two chatted idly in bed to pass the time, and when it was fully light, they slowly got up.
Cen Tingye asked Qingran what her plans were for today.
Qingran thought for a moment, and since she had said she wouldn't go to the flower shop, she might as well go back to the Yu family.
He was selecting clothes he brought from the Yu family in front of the wardrobe, while Cen Tingye was moving the bed—
The old-fashioned double bed wasn't very sturdy; it wobbled and shifted last night.
After straightening the bed, I moved the bedside table that had been moved along with it. A bright red piece peeked out from the drawer that had been shaken open.
I casually pulled open the drawer, and inside was a small, bright red booklet with three dazzling gold-embossed characters: Marriage Certificate.
"..."
This time, Cen Tingye took out the marriage certificate and opened it. The photo with the red background inside made his heart ache, but he felt a little better when he saw Cen Tingye's name in the name column below.
With mixed feelings, I closed the photo, out of sight, out of mind, and stuffed it into my coat bag.
After changing her clothes, Qingran saw his actions and said, "Don't you have a marriage certificate? Why are you taking mine?"
Cen Tingye straightened up and turned around: "You're just going to leave it like this?"
"?" Qingran: "How about we buy a safe and lock it up?"
He was joking, but to his surprise, Cen Tingye actually nodded and said, "Of course."
His calm demeanor did indeed bear a resemblance to Cen Guanzhou.
Qingran was speechless for a moment, then asked calmly, "Oh, weren't you going to divorce me? Now you're not?"
Cen Tingye, who was washing his hands, gave him a heavy kiss on the forehead: "Never leave."
After having breakfast together at a reasonably priced breakfast shop downstairs, Cen Tingye drove Qingran back to the Yu family home.
When the car arrived outside the Yu family villa, before getting out of the car, Qingran removed the illusion in front of the man, transforming from Ran Yu back into Yu Qingran.
After witnessing this scene, Cen Tingye's eyes were deep and unfathomable, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
It's the weekend, and as expected, Yu's father is staying home.
To avoid running into trouble, Qingran told Cen Tingye to stay in the car and not get out, while she got out herself.
Cen Tingye rolled down the car window and spoke to him: "Since you don't want to go back to the Yu family, when are you going to marry me?"
Once married, she can go back to the Cen family with him. She can be a free spirit or a florist, as long as she doesn't hide somewhere he can't find her again.
Qingran remembered the aftereffects of maintaining her persona, so she pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Aunt Chen doesn't like me."
Cen Tingye watched him put on an act.
"If you can handle her son, why are you afraid you can't handle her?"
He then added, "You only need to think about yourself; I'll take care of the rest."
A radiant smile bloomed in Qingran's eyes; he admired this confidence and ability of humans to solve problems.
"Well..." Just as I was about to say that I would ask him after I finished dealing with it, a childish and innocent voice came from behind me.
"Mommy, bad guy bit Uncle's mouth!" Yu Suisui, who was being held in Bai Rongrong's arms not far away, said in a clear voice.
The conversation beside the car suddenly fell silent as the two stared intently at the source of the sound.
Bai Rongrong, holding her daughter, felt a little awkward inside the door; she really hadn't been eavesdropping on purpose.
The child just couldn't stay at home, so she was thinking of taking Sui Sui for a walk in the neighborhood. But as soon as she got to the door, she saw Yu Qingran standing outside.
Curious about who brought Yu Qingran back, she picked up Sui Sui and tried to get closer to casually greet her.
Who knew that the little child had such good eyesight? Through the openwork door, she saw who was in the car even earlier than she did, and even recognized them.
At this moment, Bai Rongrong could see clearly who was sitting in the car; it was Cen Guanzhou.
What did Sui Sui just say? That a bad guy bit her uncle's mouth? Doesn't that mean...?
It seems that Yu Qingran's claim that Cen Guanzhou interrupted her blind date with Jay Chou was not just empty talk.
Numerous thoughts raced through her mind as Bai Rongrong approached with an apologetic smile.
"I'm sorry, Qingran. I was carrying Suisui and wanted to take a walk around the neighborhood. I just happened to run into Mr. Cen bringing you back. I didn't mean to interrupt your conversation."
Qingran nodded indifferently.
Yu Suisui, who was being held, opened her grape-like eyes, not knowing what was happening. Qingran gently pinched the tip of her little nose: "Suisui has a good memory. Don't be so good next time."
Yu Suisui: ⊙o⊙
Bai Rongrong greeted Cen Tingye in the car: "Mr. Cen, would you like to come in and have a seat?"
Cen Tingye calmly declined: "It's not convenient today."
"Then you two talk, I won't disturb you." Bai Rongrong didn't insist, leaving the two of them alone, and turned back to the villa with her daughter in her arms.
Qingran didn't chat with Cen Tingye for long. The two would have plenty of opportunities to meet later. Not long after Bai Rongrong left, he followed her back.
Yu's father was waiting for him in the living room.
Bai Rongrong gave Qing Ran an apologetic look. She returned to the living room and bumped into Yu's father, who asked her why she had come back with the child. Suddenly, Sui Sui parroted and said, "Little President Cen"...
When her father asked her why, she didn't dare to lie.
"Did Cen Guanzhou bring you back?" Yu's father asked directly when he saw Qingran. "You've been away from home so often lately, are you always with Cen Guanzhou?"
Qingran replied without hesitation, "No."
Mr. Yu frowned: "You don't need to lie to me about this. You're surnamed Yu, and your fate is intertwined with the Yu family's. We've offended the Zhou family for now, and if you can't get on Cen Guanzhou's good side—"
"What does that have to do with me?" Qingran interrupted him with a smile.
"I'm an unemployed bum, so even if I offend the Zhou family, it seems like they won't be able to retaliate against me."
Yu's father, whose eyes were always full of calculation, rarely looked at his second son, who had no real ability, with a proper gaze.
"Is that what you think?"
Qingran smiled and said, "What I think is not important; what matters is what the Zhou family thinks."
Although it was Cen Tingye who offended them, the Zhou family was no match for the Cen family, and the Yu family was no match for the Zhou family.
If Jay Chou is really angry about what happened that day and wants to take advantage of the Yu family, what can he do but applaud and cheer?
After Qingran lit the fire, she left as if nothing had happened. Facing her father's sullen anger, Bai Rongrong didn't dare to breathe and quietly slipped away to take a walk in the neighborhood with her daughter in her arms.
Yu's father sat alone in the empty living room for a long time, and then a contemptuous smile appeared on his lips.
In the past, he only thought that his second son was stupid and incompetent. Today he realized that he was also weak-willed and easily swayed. Did he really think that Cen Guanzhou could get things done just by giving him a smile?
Putting everything else aside, he knew how attractive Yu Qingran's face was to men.
Cen Guanzhou is a man too, so it's normal that he wouldn't want to let go of the meat that's been delivered to his mouth.
But without the Yu family's backing, does Yu Qingran really think she can marry into the Cen family based on her looks? Naïve.
[Without the Yu family's backing, wouldn't the host have been able to marry Cen Guanzhou much faster?]
[Shh, don't shatter old Deng's fantasy~]
[Hehe, okay, okay~]
The system chuckled in unison.
In the original story, Yu's father had no humanity at all. Why was the original owner able to be sent to the beds of many powerful people by Jay Chou without any scruples? It was because seeking help at home was useless.
In front of the original owner, Yu's father sighed and felt guilty that the Yu family was not as good as the Zhou family. He lamented that he was unworthy of being a father and could not protect the original owner. In fact, he had received a lot of benefits from Chairman Zhou.
Even the Zhou family wouldn't dare offend Yu's father, let alone other powerful figures whom the Zhou family needed to curry favor with. So he could only turn a blind eye to the original owner's plea for help.
They have no shame at all! They don't want this kind of person to get involved with the Cen family through the host!
[You think Jay Chou's daring actions in the original storyline are the first time he's done something like this?]
Qingran, reminded by the system's passionate and angry outburst, recalled some plot points.
The system's cursing stopped abruptly: [Huh?]
Before there was time to discuss the follow-up, Qingran received several text messages on her phone informing her that her bank cards had been suspended.
Qingran had just argued with Yu's father downstairs, so Yu's father suspended his card.
The system, barely pausing for two seconds, continued its tirade: [Host, don't worry, I'll steal his secret stash to support you!]
Before Qingran could reply, two more messages popped up on her phone.
This time it was sent through a social media account, asking if he had time this afternoon and if so, suggesting they meet at a coffee shop.
The person who sent the message was... Ms. Chen.
The system, overwhelmed by a series of sudden changes, exploded as soon as it saw the message.
[What's wrong with the male lead? Didn't he say he'd just let the host think about himself and he'd handle everything else? Why is his mother talking like she's about to write the host a five million dollar check!]
