Chapter 54: Haoran Takes Credit

“You figured it out!”

Wang Haoran was a bit embarrassed, trying to explain.

“It didn’t cost much. Those people have some cooperation with our Wang family, so they’re just doing us a favor.”

“But… it’s too much trouble for you… I…”

“It’s no trouble. You know my family is wealthy; this is just a small favor for me.”

Seeing that Lin Qingzhi wanted to say more, Wang Haoran immediately put his finger on her lips.

“You don’t need to refuse. This is just a small matter for me!”

“You’ve helped me so much before. I already consider you my best friend. How can I watch you suffer every day?”

“If our roles were reversed, I believe you would do the same for me.”

“If you mind having dinner with me, then forget it, but you can’t refuse tomorrow’s treatment!”

Wang Haoran said, looking straight into Lin Qingzhi’s eyes.

“Qingzhi, I want to see you stand up. Can you?”

“…,” Listening to Wang Haoran’s gentle yet domineering voice, Lin Qingzhi forgot that her lips were lightly pressed by his finger, also ignoring his intimate address.

She subconsciously nodded, “…Hmm!”

“Good! Remember to stay at the shop tomorrow!”

Wang Haoran reminded her, then turned to leave.

However, before walking out the door, Wang Haoran turned back and smiled at Lin Qingzhi.

“Qingzhi, you should smile more. You look really beautiful when you smile!”

***

Wang Haoran was planning how to perfect the upcoming plan on the way.

With Zhu Nan’s assistance, Zhao Dong was destined to be played around.

But he was the protagonist, and if Zhu Nan, a villain, dragged on, she would certainly be countered. So, Wang Haoran must strip Zhao Dong of all his fate before that.

However, now, hiring actors to intentionally cooperate with Zhao Dong’s show-offs was no longer useful. Wang Haoran had to think of new methods.

According to the plot, heroine Lin Qingzhi was definitely Zhao Dong’s tool for showing off and face-slapping.

For instance, when a villain drove a luxury car, wore high-end clothes, and brought sexy beauties to mock Zhao Dong for riding an electric scooter, wearing shabby clothes, and being loveless, the fairy-like Lin Qingzhi appeared, sat on the scooter’s back seat, and hugged Zhao Dong’s waist—how shocking would that be!

So Wang Haoran decided to take Zhao Dong’s route and let Lin Qingzhi face-slap Zhao Dong!

“Hmm… I have 600 fate points now… Zhao Dong doesn’t have special abilities, so ability shielding is useless… Let’s use them all! System, two ten-pulls!”

“Tsk tsk, the feeling of advancing an entire major realm is awesome! Adding points is so fast!”

Then, Wang Haoran looked at the Dragon Blood Grass in his hand.

The Dragon Blood Grass, green with blood streaks, shaped like a dragon, not only improves physique and heals all internal injuries and toxins but also slightly increases the probability of breaking through realms.

Wang Haoran immediately thought of Ning Xueluo.

Previously, Wang Haoran had people look for medicinal materials in the market but couldn’t find anything useful for Luoluo.

The materials in the book that could heal her injuries were in the deep mountains, far and dangerous. With his current strength, Wang Haoran hadn’t considered fetching them.

But now, with Dragon Blood Grass, it was different.

Without a second thought, Wang Haoran decided to let Luoluo take it, not considering its worth.

The priority was to make Luoluo healthy.

If she could use this opportunity to break through to the Grandmaster level, Wang Haoran’s “soft rice” would taste even better!

Wang Haoran happily returned to the villa.

As soon as he entered, he saw an unexpected scene.

On the living room sofa, sitting in order were Xia Xinyan, Ning Xueluo, and Yun Ling’er. On the side sofas were Liu Yunshuang and Wang Yuxiao.

Hearing Wang Haoran’s return, they turned their heads in unison, staring at him.

Seeing the five just staring without speaking, Wang Haoran felt strange.

He walked to Liu Yunshuang, slid his hands under her armpits, lifted her, then turned and sat on the single sofa, placing Liu Yunshuang face-to-face on his lap.

Even in such an embarrassing position, Liu Yunshuang’s face remained cold and proud.

So Wang Haoran put one arm around her waist and began to smooth her long hair with the other.

Until Liu Yunshuang couldn’t help but lean against him, her face showing relaxation, and let out a sweet hum through her nose.

During this process, the other four watched silently, but their lips pouted higher and higher.

Especially Xia Xinyan, whose cheeks puffed up.

Finally, Wang Haoran spoke first.

“What’s up with you?”

Hearing Wang Haoran speak, Xia Xinyan couldn’t hold it in anymore, angrily saying,

“You know what!”

“…Alright, alright, I’ll figure it out myself, then tell you!”

Wang Haoran, helpless, lifted the soft Liu Yunshuang off him, “Good Shuang’er, tell me.”

Liu Yunshuang softly said, “Xiaoyan saw you, going to the flower shop, to see a very pretty girl several times, so she’s upset.”

Jealous? But if it’s just jealousy, Luoluo wouldn’t join in…

Hmm… not necessarily, Luoluo is tolerant of these sisters because they’ve been together for several lives…

Forget it, just ask directly.

Wang Haoran continued asking Liu Yunshuang,

“Shuang’er, are you upset too? Why?”

“Because… humph!”

Being questioned, Liu Yunshuang remembered her own anger, pouting and sitting up.

Whenever Liu Yunshuang dropped her cold facade, her expressions were always rich, and Wang Haoran never got tired of it.

“You didn’t go find Xiaoyan and Yinying but went to find other women first!”

“Everyone is very upset!”

The other four showed looks of disappointment at Liu Yunshuang for spilling the beans before the trial even started.

Especially Xia Xinyan and Yun Ling’er, who shot dagger-like glares at Liu Yunshuang’s back.
