Aside from a small en-suite bathroom, it contained a comfortable single bed and a mini fridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, Wen Ruan exuded an irresistible charm—sexy and mature, inside and out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breathing heavily, she turned her head slightly and looked at him with a teasing gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every line of trash talk was bolder than the last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t forgotten her goal today—to completely overpower him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone has a sense of jealousy and possessiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she had compromised for him, when facing their first Valentine’s Day together, the thought of him being affectionate with another woman made her uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the older woman’s words, looking at her seductive figure, and considering their current setting, Tang Song decisively chose to surrender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Ruan turned around, her expression full of disdain. “Heh, that’s it? You’re useless!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...!” Tang Song’s mouth twitched. “You’re really full of yourself today, huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just the truth.” Wen Ruan glanced at her Rolex Datejust and smirked. “Nine minutes. You only lasted nine minutes.

I don’t want someone needing to lean against the wall later—how embarrassing would that be?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She laughed to herself as she started tidying up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smack! Smack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song gave her a firm slap on the butt. “Ungrateful! That’s my line!

Just you wait.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the shift in his mood, Wen Ruan smirked. “Let’s go. I’ll finish up some work, check in with my assistants, then cook dinner for you tonight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was exactly the outcome she wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, Tang Song wouldn’t be leaving her place tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once midnight struck, she’d be the first person to say “Happy Valentine’s Day” to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Su Yu and Director Jin would have to wait in line behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the thought of it gave her a peculiar sense of satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuhua Business Tower, Room 1404\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 100-square-meter office was almost empty, allowing a clear view of the entire space at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reception area was minimalistic, featuring a modern white desk with a few potted plants beside it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the core workspace, eight desks were arranged in tight rows, each equipped with simple bow-shaped chairs. The desktops were spotless, with nothing placed on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overall décor was plain, with nothing noteworthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the corner’s makeshift lounge area, Xu Ning and Li Yujiao sat on a sofa, holding a few scattered documents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We need to buy a computer and a printer first, along with some office supplies like stationery and file folders.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve already found an accounting agency for bookkeeping. I’ll set up a group chat later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yujiao exhaled and shook her head. “We definitely need to hire staff. There’s no way you can handle everything alone. Has Xiaoxue mentioned anything about this? Do you guys have a plan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh…” Xu Ning hesitated, feeling a little guilty. “She hasn’t mentioned it, and I’m not really sure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yujiao frowned and let out a long breath, feeling a headache coming on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had only agreed to invest in this talent management agency because Xiaoxue had mentioned it and invited her and Zhang Xi to buy shares.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on what they had seen at Lanfeng International before, neither of them questioned much and simply agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xi invested 400,000 yuan, while she put in 300,000 yuan and took care of securing the office space and handling miscellaneous tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They each held 15% of the company’s shares.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoxue, on the other hand, contributed key market connections and industry resources, taking a 70% stake for herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that the company had officially begun operations, Li Yujiao suddenly realized—it was a complete mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only employee was Xu Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no structure, no clear business model, and no sign of when operations would even start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Zhang Xi, who was just in this for fun, Li Yujiao had a legitimate full-time job at her mother’s company, Yan Hui Tech Incubator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her company specialized in helping early-stage startups grow, providing office spaces, accounting services, and essential business support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of that, she had a much clearer understanding of how companies should be run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Xue Tang Culture was a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for how impressed she had been at Lanfeng International, she would have backed out immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, their investment was still in the “to-be-paid” stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t actually transferred her 300,000 yuan yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one’s money falls from the sky, and while she and Zhang Xi had some to spare, neither of them were naive fools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything, they were even more cautious about gains and losses—especially when it came to partnerships and investments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ning, seeing Li Yujiao’s serious expression, tensed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a fake socialite, the thing she feared most was dealing with real wealthy women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew Xiaoxue’s background very well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she seemed to be doing well now, in reality, she wasn’t that rich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After helping her pay off 130,000 yuan in overdue debt, Xiaoxue barely had a few thousand left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The company’s registration had entirely relied on Zhang Xi and Li Yujiao’s investments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Xu Ning, she and Xiaoxue were just trying to make something out of nothing, and she was feeling increasingly uneasy about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ring, ring, ring—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her phone suddenly rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s Xiaoxue. She’s probably on her way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ning breathed a sigh of relief and quickly answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, Xiaoxue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, I’m with Jiaojiao at the office. We were just talking about you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, okay. We’ll clean up a bit and head down. Bye-bye.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanging up, Xu Ning let out a soft smile. “Xiaoxue’s almost here. She wants to take us to the café downstairs for a meal and discuss the company’s next steps.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, let’s go. I’ve got a movie date with my boyfriend tonight,” Li Yujiao said, picking up her handbag and standing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the Office Building\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was early evening—just as the workday was ending. The streets were bustling with people coming and going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soft, orange-red glow of the setting sun illuminated the entire street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing in the corner beneath the rain awning, the two of them glanced toward the entrance from time to time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yujiao held her phone, chatting non-stop with her boyfriend, her lips curled into a soft smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Xiaoxue still hadn’t arrived, Xu Ning tried to make conversation. “Jiaojiao, tomorrow is Qixi Festival. Did your boyfriend prepare a gift for you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, probably.” Li Yujiao answered absentmindedly, not saying much more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that she wasn’t interested in the conversation, Xu Ning didn’t push further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could tell that Li Yujiao didn’t have a good impression of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Xiaoxue, she wasn’t smart or socially adept, and she had no idea how to build a good relationship with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two of them stood there waiting in silence, a sleek and imposing Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly rolled up to the entrance of the office building, catching their attention from the corner of their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its jet-black paint gleamed like a mirror, reflecting everything around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grandeur of its body, the signature Parthenon grille, the Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament, and the large polished wheels instantly drew a crowd’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-collar workers passing by subconsciously slowed their steps to take a better look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rolls-Royce.” Xu Ning’s eyes gleamed with admiration, and she couldn’t help but whisper, “And it’s a Phantom… A car worth tens of millions. Look at that license plate—it’s so perfect. Absolutely stunning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had spent a long time in the fake socialite circles, so she was well-versed in luxury goods and deeply desired them.ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel[f]ire.net\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yujiao nodded. “Yeah, there’s no shortage of rich people in Yan City.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two whispered to each other, the car smoothly came to a stop right next to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the clear windshield, they could see the driver—a tall and strikingly cold-looking woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hair was tied into a sleek ponytail, and she wore a fitted women’s suit, exuding a refined yet untouchable allure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a soft click, the luxurious coach-style doors of the Phantom gracefully opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first thing that caught their eyes was a pair of long, shapely legs, elegantly wrapped in sheer black stockings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Lin Muxue stepped out from the back seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her silk blouse was crisp and flawless, accentuating her smooth and radiant skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slightly open collar added an effortless elegance and intellectual charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gentle breeze brushed against her hair, causing a few loose strands to rest against her cheek, adding a touch of softness to her poised demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Chanel LeBoy in black and silver calfskin rested on her shoulder, while she carried a massive orange LV gift bag in one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Phantom behind her, combined with the elite aura of the female driver, radiated an overwhelming presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eyes were instantly drawn to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lifting her chin slightly, Lin Muxue calmly scanned the surroundings before settling her gaze on Xu Ning and Li Yujiao, who were both staring in stunned silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint smile curved her lips, and her eyes sparkled with confidence and composure, as if she had everything under control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ha! This is exactly the effect I wanted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come on, give me your envious, jealous stares! I, Empress Muxue, am here to dominate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a soft thud, the car door closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Muxue moved, the tight black pencil skirt perfectly outlined her round and firm curves—showcasing both the sharpness of a career woman and the softness of femininity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whispers and murmurs rippled through the crowd, their gazes locked onto her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiaoxue.” Xu Ning swallowed hard, her eyes widening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yujiao took a deep breath, put her phone away, and flashed a bright, enthusiastic smile. “Xiaoxue, you’re here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm.” Lin Muxue nodded with a smile. “Sorry to keep you both waiting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine, we haven’t been waiting long.” Li Yujiao warmly linked arms with her, then pointed at the Phantom beside them. “This car…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muxue’s eyes flickered, and she replied with practiced ease, “My boyfriend’s. We just went to inspect the Yannan Film Base together, and he gave me a little gift while we were at it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since their new company was about to start operations, she needed a powerful background to establish her credibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song was the perfect candidate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had already been exposed in the fake socialite circles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So from now on, she’d use Tang Song’s name to boost her own status and get Snow Sugar Culture up and running as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, no matter how Tang Song saw her, she had already considered him her man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ohhh!” Li Yujiao’s eyes sparkled. “So that investor you mentioned for Yannan Film Base… That’s your boyfriend?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muxue chuckled and nodded. “That’s right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, Xu Ning hesitated, her expression conflicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clearly remembered asking before, and Xiaoxue had said she didn’t have a boyfriend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So where did this one suddenly come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she wasn’t stupid—she knew better than to ask out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, she had a pretty good idea of what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her friend Xiaoxue was definitely being kept by someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, there was no way she could be living like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, as long as Xiaoxue didn’t admit it, she would never dare bring it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yujiao grinned. “So this is the gift from your boyfriend? An LV bag?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Capucines Gilded Sahara,” Lin Muxue said lightly. “He secretly asked my friend and found out I’ve been eyeing this one, so he bought it for me while he was on a business trip.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lifted the massive LV bag slightly, her tone casual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those who were paying attention would notice—her toes, painted a striking red, were pressing subtly into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was one of her telltale signs of extreme excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ning’s eyes widened in shock. “LV’s bag king?! Are you serious?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Capucines Gilded Sahara Crocodile Leather Bag was the pinnacle of LV’s luxury line, with a boutique price of 240,000 yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many places didn’t even have it in stock—it had to be pre-ordered in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the ultimate dream bag for women everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she knew for a fact that this had been Xiaoxue’s dream bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had even murmured its name in her sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time they visited an LV boutique, if the bag was on display, Xiaoxue would definitely put on gloves and carefully admire it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muxue smiled. “Let’s go eat first. We’ll unbox it while we’re there. My Hermès is getting a little boring—this bag arrived just in time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she took a step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her black stilettos clacked crisply against the solid stone pavement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Car\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BGM: “Miss Dong” —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You put out your cigarette and started talking about the past... You said, ‘That’s how my first half of life went, but there’s always tomorrow...’\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gentle folk tune drifted through the sixteen Harmon Kardon speakers in the car, filling the space with a dreamy ambiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song sat in the driver’s seat of his long-unused BMW 330i Night Edition, chatting idly with Wen Ruan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After their little game at the office, the two had entered a brief state of calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The older woman leaned into the plush leather seat, her seatbelt pressing against her chest, accentuating her curves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze never left Tang Song’s side profile, and a gentle, affectionate smile played on her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a red light, Tang Song turned his head, locking eyes with Wen Ruan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the look in her eyes, his heart trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he said, “Wen Ruan, I love you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Ruan froze for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she let out a soft pfft, playfully slapping his leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a rare mischievous expression, she smirked. “Hmph, don’t think saying sweet things will get you out of my grasp.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she was joking, her eyes shimmered with moisture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her time in Shanghai had actually been full of anxiety and fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had thought that after dealing with Su Yu, she could finally settle down and enjoy being Tang Song’s lover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who would have thought that now, another player had entered the game—Director Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike a celebrity like Su Yu, Director Jin was a true business mogul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tycoon who had graced the cover of TIME magazine—standing at the very pinnacle of the world’s elite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To her, Director Jin was like some kind of Cthulhu-esque existence—unseeable, indescribable, yet capable of inducing a mental breakdown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sheer pressure of it all weighed on her heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was terrified of being forced to leave Tang Song one day—or worse, being abandoned by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why she had been constantly teasing him on WeChat, sending flirty messages and suggestive pictures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t just playful—it was because she genuinely felt insecure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, things had escalated to a full-blown PK battle against Director Jin for her man—how could she not panic?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song glanced at her. “Do you like hearing it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.” Wen Ruan blinked her sultry eyes. “But if you’ve got the guts to say it a few more times, maybe I’ll start liking it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh.” Tang Song leaned in, kissed her lips, then smacked his lips with a smirk. “You can talk tough all you want, but when I kiss you, you’re still soft.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Ruan rubbed her legs together slightly and purred in her signature mature, teasing tone, “You, on the other hand, are always hard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, her gaze slowly drifted downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red light turned green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song floored the gas pedal. “Tonight, I’ll make sure you get your fill.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The orange-red sunset poured in from the side window, illuminating his silhouette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Ruan gazed at Tang Song’s sunlit side profile, her lips curling into a smile. “Little brother, how are you so good at this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She giggled. “Let me tell you a secret.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The first time I saw your photo, I fell for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mingli and the others introduced me to a lot of guys before, but you’re the only one who made me feel it at first sight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she spoke boldly, in truth, she was quite conservative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, she wouldn’t still have been a virgin for so many years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had met countless handsome men, seen countless dating profiles…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Tang Song was the only one who fit her ideal type perfectly—he hit every one of her preferences dead-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why she was willing to ‘coincidentally’ meet him at the gym.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why she accepted the LV bag he gave her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why she didn’t hesitate to kiss him even though they had just met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing her rather improper confession, Tang Song chuckled. “What a coincidence. I fell for you at first sight too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright then, guess we’re both lust at first sight. We’re a perfect match.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car weaved through the congested city streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soft melody of a folk song mixed with Wen Ruan’s melodious laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The BMW 330i Night Edition smoothly pulled into the underground parking lot of Shengyuan Scenic Residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They got out of the car, carrying the groceries they had picked up at the residential gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening the door to the villa, they stepped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Ruan squatted down, helping him change into house slippers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without even changing her clothes, she went straight to the kitchen, put on an apron, and got to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song tried to help, but she pushed him out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Ruan was an excellent cook, and half an hour later, three delicious homemade dishes were served on the dining table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them were his favorites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dinner, Wen Ruan pulled him onto the living room sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t mind getting dirty—she directly placed his feet on her soft, full thighs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, taking out a nail clipper, she began trimming his toenails meticulously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click. Click.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She mumbled, “I noticed when I helped you change shoes just now—your toenails were way too long. That’s unhygienic. Bacteria can get trapped, and they can break easily. It’s bad for your health.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song watched her in silence, once again feeling the depth of her love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His recent interactions with Liu Qingning had made him rethink his emotions—not just toward Bai Yueguang, but also toward the other women in his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he spoke seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wen Ruan, I love you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, she didn’t tease him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she smiled, leaned in, and kissed his cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>3rd Floor: Home Theater Room\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After trimming his nails, Wen Ruan led him upstairs to the third-floor home theater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pushed open the heavy doors, dimmed the lights, and adjusted the mood lighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of them grabbed a game controller.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They started playing It Takes Two—a 2021 Game of the Year award winner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With its stunning visuals and whimsical design, paired with the high-end projector and surround sound system, the experience was top-notch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Playing co-op games with Tang Song, Wen Ruan was as excited as a little girl with a new toy—laughing, shouting, and completely immersed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they got tired, Wen Ruan went to the wine cabinet and grabbed two cans of beer along with some snacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They settled into massage chairs, turning on the massive projector screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Picking a romantic comedy, they drank, snacked, and chatted as they watched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her smooth, full legs swayed lazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She talked about her time in Shanghai, about the recent changes in her family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song leaned against the sofa, watching her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange warmth surged in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This moment seemed so simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just an ordinary daily interaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for some reason, it deeply moved him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene would etch itself into his memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And, years later, it would become a moment of bittersweet nostalgia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A War of Epic Proportions Was About to Begin\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time the movie ended, it was already past 9 PM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song took a shower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he came out, he realized—Wen Ruan was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He called out a few times, but there was no response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Picking up his phone, he dialed her number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello? Zhuangzhuang, where did you go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sultry, magnetic voice purred through the receiver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hide and seek. Take your time finding me… If you win, you get a ‘reward.’ Mua~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing her teasing tone and that special nickname, Tang Song’s blood boiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman really knew how to keep things exciting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he weren’t ridiculously overpowered, Wen Ruan alone could have completely drained him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pocketing his phone, Tang Song started searching from the third floor, working his way down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time he reached the basement, he faintly heard the sound of gym equipment clanking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking forward, he found Wen Ruan working out in their private gym.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the glow of the lights, her chestnut-brown hair shimmered with a soft luster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loose strands cascaded over her shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her slightly flushed cheeks made her look irresistibly seductive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was wearing a form-fitting sports outfit, highlighting her perfect hourglass figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body was voluptuous yet toned—the ideal blend of sensuality and fitness, like something out of a Korean webtoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he saw her, he was reminded of their first encounter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his footsteps, Wen Ruan stopped her workout, stood tall, and puffed out her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tang Song, today’s fitness session is about to start.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell me—are you doing push-ups, or am I doing squats?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the mature, seductive woman before him, a fire ignited in Tang Song’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the gym was filled with chaotic sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, Wen Ruan’s gaze turned hazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her brain buzzed—\"Bzzz, bzzz, bzzz...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tang Song… why did you suddenly stop?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Ruan didn’t move—she just murmured absentmindedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her utter defeat, an immense sense of satisfaction surged through Tang Song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, several crisp system notifications popped up in his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The Magic Umbrella’s durability has reached 0.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【New quest unlocked: \"The Warm Boy's Qixi Festival.\"** Check the Mission Center for details.】\u003C\u002Fp>",3750,"2026-06-06T14:41:47.872Z",1,"novelbin.me","9027073ef6b12105f386501885b4251d4df9501460550db2f5f82a26cc81cd8b","maxing-out-charisma-inheriting-game-assets-chapter-400","maxing-out-charisma-inheriting-game-assets-chapter-398",874,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmaxing-out-charisma-inheriting-game-assets-cover.jpg"]
