Time flies like an arrow, the sun and moon shuttle past like a spinning wheel.
Time is like intercourse between a man and woman — over in just a minute.
The next day, early morning.
"Riiing riiing~~~"
Under the call of the alarm clock, Lin Xuan got up right on time.
After a quick cuddle session with Earth, he washed up and left the Su family estate.
He hadn't forgotten he needed to go to the hospital today — to steal his brother-in-law's right-hand man.
But before that, he had to fill his stomach...
Goubuli Baozi Shop.
Lin Xuan sat at a stall, as usual ordering soy milk and fried dough sticks, leisurely enjoying his breakfast.
Nearby, the same group of middle-aged uncles where still gossiping about family matters.
The only difference was that this time, they were all gnashing their teeth in hatred, faces full of shared rage, each with a thick iron rod at their feet.
"That product developed by the Lin family — damn, it really did have problems. I used to praise them so much. That love was fed to the dogs!"
"I'm here today to get justice for my wife! Her face is already disfigured. She's been crying for days—my heart aches for her!"
"No need to say more! I heard that bastard and his family are at the Magic City Hospital. We'll beat them to death and rid the world of their evil!!!"
"The worst part is that idiot Lin Jianjun! Selling fake products at such a high price during a livestream, and even mocking us for not working hard enough?!"
"F*ck him! They better give us a refund!!!"
"The more I think about it, the angrier I get! Where are the 108 Dog-Slaying Heroes of Magic City?! Follow me, Kunshan Dragon, to slay Lin the Dog!"
"Dog-Slaying Squad, assemble! Unrelated people, stay out of the way!"
"Member +1."
"Member +2."
"Member +10086."
"......"
A group of middle-aged uncles dressed like gangsters surged into the hospital with menacing momentum.
After coming back to his senses, Lin Xuan, intrigued, wanted to follow and watch the drama unfold.
Just then, a system notification sounded in his mind.
[Ding! Female supporting character Mu Xiaowan has entered the stickiness magnetic field range! Gained 1 point per 200 seconds.]
"Huh???"
Lin Xuan froze for a moment and quickly looked around.
Soon, he spotted a short-haired woman working at the neighboring "jianbing" (savory pancake) stall.
The woman had fair skin and delicate features.
Though she wore no makeup, her looks were still an 8.9 out of 10.
She wore a cheap short-sleeved shirt and faded black jeans.
From her appearance alone, it was clear she came from a poor background.
Her name was Mu Xiaowan.
Back in university, she was Su Fan's first love. They had once pledged themselves to each other, agreeing to get married once Su Fan returned from abroad.
But fate had other plans — Su Fan never came back.
In the story.
When they met again, Mu Xiaowan was already pregnant, carrying another man's child.
And that man…
Was none other than Huo Qichen, Su Qingge's number one simp.
A classic domineering CEO villain, whose entire modus operandi could be summarized in three words:
Domineering and extremely jealous.
Convinced believed he could control everything.
Followed the principle of "If I can't have it, I'll destroy it."
"So, Huo Qichen did this to take revenge on me? That's why he incited Lin Jianjun to go on a final rampage, trying to ensure the Lin family would never recover?"
"Too bad he overestimated my familial ties with the Lin family! He thought this would make me sad and miserable? Laughable, truly laughable!"
Lin Xuan mocked inwardly, stood up, and slowly approached the stall, smiling as he said:
"Hello, ma'am! I'd like two jianbing."
"Uh... okay!"
Seeing Lin Xuan's handsome face, Mu Xiaowan subconsciously blushed a little.
She then began making the jianbing, even adding some extra chicken cutlet for him.
"Thank you, miss."
Lin Xuan was very polite and gentlemanly as he handed over the money.
During this, he glanced at Mu Xiaowan's stomach—it looked completely normal.
Could it be that that beast Huo Qichen hadn't succeeded yet?!
Had the clichéd "wrong room, wrong bed" plotline not happened yet?
Maybe this time, the brother-in-law wouldn't have to suffer the disgrace of being cheated on, looking pale and devastated...
Lin Xuan couldn't help but joke playfully in his heart.
Of course, he wouldn't interfere with the plot's development.
As long as it didn't affect his "stickiness," Lin Xuan wasn't really concerned about the fates of the female leads in the story...
Except for the fake rich daughter who was diagnosed with stomach cancer and had less than three months to live.
Perhaps because of his unresolved feelings from reading the book, he might want to make the real rich daughter a little happier before she died, but he wasn't very interested in the other female supporting characters.
After paying, Lin Xuan smiled and turned to leave.
So handsome.
So polite.
So, refined.
Sigh~~
If only the wrong room last night had been…
This handsome guy's room instead...
Staring at Lin Xuan's tall and elegant back, Mu Xiaowan's eyes were filled with infatuation.
Oh~~
But the next second, she suddenly covered her mouth.
For some reason, she suddenly felt a wave of nausea, but it passed just as quickly.
Mu Xiaowan assumed she was just tired, didn't think much of it, and went back to calling out to attract customers.
"Jianbing guozi, crispy and delicious pancakes! +Egg, sausage, crispy sausage, only five yuan each!"
"Don't just walk by, don't miss out!"
At this moment.
Neither Lin Xuan nor Mu Xiaowan noticed...
A green Rolls-Royce Phantom was parked at the mouth of a nearby alley.
In the backseat sat a man with a face chiseled like a sculpture.
His sharp eyes were locked onto Mu Xiaowan, who was calling out for business, and Lin Xuan's departing figure.
This man was none other than Huo Qichen.
Just like in every domineering CEO novel, after Mu Xiaowan had successfully caught his attention...
He had already thoroughly investigated Mu Xiaowan's family background.
He came here early this morning intending to claim this ignorant but oddly intriguing woman as his own plaything.
But to his shock...
He witnessed a scene that made his eyes burn with rage.
The woman he set his sights on was actually talking to another man?!!
And that man... was Lin Xuan?!
This guy dared to touch both of the women I want?!
Very well — you've got guts.
At this moment.
A surge of jealousy added Lin Xuan's name to the top of a certain CEO's kill list.
But before taking Lin Xuan's worthless life...
He would destroy the Su family and the Lin family first and make Lin Xuan die in utter despair.
As for the woman who dared to repeatedly reject him — he would imprison her forever at his side, make her his exclusive Sleeping Beauty.
Huo Qichen let out a cold laugh, his lips curled with 30% coldness, 30% ridicule, and 40% indifference.
Just then.
He saw a crowd gathering around Mu Xiaowan's stall, laughing and chatting. His face immediately darkened, and his venomous gaze looked ready to tear apart this traitorous woman.
That damned woman!
How dare she speak to other men besides me.
Unforgivable!!!
Huo Qichen's lips pressed into a thin line, radiating untouchable authority.
He pulled out his wallet and, with slender fingers, selected a black card from a stack of bank cards. Then he said to the bodyguard/driver in the front seat:
"There's 100 million on this card. Go buy all of that woman's pancakes and tell her..."
"Damn woman! From now on, you can only smile in front of me, Huo Qichen. Only I can eat your jianbing..."
