Chapter 86: Not Only Lost the Wife But Also Lost the Army!
"Yueying... have you heard the story of King Goujian of Yue, who endured hardship to achieve his ambition, and Xi Shi, the beauty he sent to the enemy?"
Han Qi made the other subordinates disperse, leaving only him and Situ Yueying in the dim light of the now-empty bar. He looked at the woman who was devoted to him, his loyal sword, and after a long while, he spoke with difficulty.
"Of course I know that. Any Yanxia person who has read books should know it, right?"
Situ Yueying was stunned, not knowing what Han Qi meant by his words. She wiped a glass nervously.
Then, she reacted. The realization hit her like a physical blow. Her pretty face paled, the blood draining away until she looked like a wax doll. Her beautiful eyes looked at Han Qi in disbelief.
Crash!
The crystal cocktail shaker in her hand slipped from her numb fingers and fell directly to the ground, shattering into a thousand pieces that rolled into the dust.
Han Qi took a deep breath. Now that he had started, he had to finish. He steeled his heart.
"Shen Anyu, that Young Master of the Yanxia Shen Family... wants me to submit to him. He offered to support me as the helmsman of the Southern Underworld!"
"You also know that I have a great vendetta to avenge against the Han Family! I cannot refuse such a temptation! It is the key to everything!"
"Moreover... if I refuse, Shen Anyu will support Black Dragon instead. Which would be a catastrophe for our [Dragon King Society]! We would be wiped out!"
"So... I agreed to him!"
Han Qi paused, unable to meet her eyes.
"And... Shen Anyu proposed a condition…"
Situ Yueying's delicate body trembled. She looked at the man in front of her with pain—the man she had served loyally for years, the man she had admired from the shadows, the man she had nearly died for tonight.
Her red lips trembled as she whispered:
"That condition... is it me?"
Han Qi nodded gently. He looked somewhat reluctant, but his voice was firm.
"That's right. That condition is you!"
"Shen Anyu has a good impression of you. He regards you as a kindred spirit in wine!"
"Yueying... you also had a good impression of Shen Anyu before, didn't you? You didn't dislike him when you served him."
"If you are by his side... Shen Anyu will treat you well. He won't mistreat you! He is a man of taste."
"If you are by his side, you don't need to do anything risky. Just whisper sweet nothings, keep him happy, and help me out from the inside!"
"If... if you don't want to stay by Shen Anyu's side in the future... then once I have grown strong enough, I will bring you back…"
At this moment, Situ Yueying was already teary-eyed. Tears like broken pearls fell from her charming and delicate face, tracing paths through her makeup.
This supreme older sister, the Queen of the Night, never dreamed that Han Qi would send her into the arms of another man.
How cruel was this! How cold!
After a long time, Situ Yueying wiped away the tears from her face with the back of her hand. Her beautiful eyes were red and swollen as she looked at Han Qi, who still dared not look at her directly.
She said softly, her voice devoid of emotion:
"Dragon King... if this is your wish... then I, Situ Yueying, agree!"
"I will go to him."
"I will help you get your revenge!"
'Just consider it... just consider it as repaying the life-saving grace from two years ago,' she told herself. 'After this, we are even.'
Situ Yueying's heart was already dead at this moment.
At this moment, her admiration for the man in front of her completely vanished, leaving only a hollow gratitude for the past.
She even had a lot of resentment towards Shen Anyu for forcing this situation.
If she hadn't had such a good impression of Shen Anyu before—his appreciation of her wine, his saving her life—it probably wouldn't just be resentment now, but hatred!
However, even if Shen Anyu knew, he wouldn't care.
Shen Anyu had always held Zhang Ailing's words as a guiding principle: "The way to a woman's heart is through her vagina." He put them into practice and unlocked one heart after another!
Han Qi was making wishful calculations. He thought he could make Situ Yueying work for him, being in "Cao's camp but with her heart in Han."
But little did he know, the final outcome would surely be: losing both the wife and the soldiers!
Moreover, it was not only Situ Yueying.
Shen Anyu's eyes were set on a bigger prize. Han Qi's most important and beloved wife... Liu Qingyue.
...
[Location: Outside Dream Bar - The Street]
Shen Anyu saw Liu Mi remaining silent as they walked. She was kicking a pebble on the sidewalk, her brows furrowed.
He couldn't help but tease, "What? Not happy?"
Liu Mi gave Shen Anyu a charming glare. She pouted, her cheeks puffing out.
"Big pervert! Philanderer! A big radish who falls in love with everyone he sees!"
Shen Anyu looked at Liu Mi pouting her tender pink lips, her narrow fox eyes glaring at him. This jealous expression was so cute!
These Destined Heroines were naturally not tools or robots; they had their own minds and emotions.
Although Liu Mi wanted to attach herself to Shen Anyu, liked and admired him, and tolerated his philandering status... seeing Shen Anyu openly "flirt" with Situ Yueying and demand her from Han Qi right in front of her... she was clearly not happy.
Shen Anyu smiled and pulled her into his arms, comforting her:
"Mi Mi, don't be angry. I have a reason for doing this. It's business."
Liu Mi became curious. Her beautiful eyes looked up at Shen Anyu.
"Business?"
Shen Anyu briefly explained his plan to subdue Dragon King Mr. Han and his need for leverage. He spun a tale of strategy and conquest.
Then, he smiled and said, "Situ Yueying will be a link between us. Like a hostage. Do you understand?"
"Mi Mi... your position in my heart is definitely higher. You are my choice. She is my acquisition."
If he were in front of Situ Yueying right now, Shen Anyu would definitely say Situ Yueying's position was higher. He was a master of managing expectations.
But women are emotional creatures and need to be coaxed.
Even if Liu Mi understood the logic in her heart, the fact that Shen Anyu was coaxing her showed that he cared about her. Otherwise, with Shen Anyu's status, would he need to explain himself to anyone?
Indeed, listening to Shen Anyu's words, Liu Mi's eyes curved into crescents. Her mood brightened instantly.
She linked her arm through Shen Anyu's, squeezing it tight.
"So that's how it is!"
"Brother Shen, you're so amazing! You subdued that Dragon King Mr. Han so quickly! You played him like a fiddle!"
"I heard that Dragon King Mr. Han is very powerful and dominates the Modu underworld! People are terrified of him!"
As the only daughter of Liu Shiming, the director of Shanghai First People's Hospital, Liu Mi also moved in Modu's high society and knew the rumors.
The name of Dragon King Mr. Han had been like thunder for the past three years. Extremely formidable!
Yet, such a formidable and powerful existence was easily subdued by Shen Anyu!
Liu Mi turned to look at the man beside her, her beautiful eyes shining with extreme admiration!
Such a man was the husband of her dreams. A true Dragon among Men, whose single word could determine the fate of countless people!
However, as Liu Mi turned her head, she saw Shen Anyu's burning gaze fixed on her lips. Her little face immediately flushed.
She instinctively closed her eyes and pouted her tender pink lips, inviting him.
Shen Anyu naturally wouldn't be polite. He smiled lightly and indulged himself, kissing her deeply under the streetlights.
After a long while, Liu Mi finally gasped for breath. She gently pushed Shen Anyu away, her eyes sparkling as she playfully complained:
"Brother Shen... Mi Mi almost couldn't breathe. You're bad!"
Shen Anyu smiled as he looked at the exquisite and charming young girl in front of him. The campus belle of Modu University, the dream of thousands, now completely his.
He pointed to a building nearby.
"How about we go to the hotel next door and rest for a bit?"
Liu Mi tilted her flushed face. Her beautiful eyes looked earnestly at Shen Anyu. She whispered softly:
"Brother Shen... don't have any bad intentions, okay?"
Shen Anyu smiled lightly, playfully pinching her chin. "What if I do have bad intentions?"
Liu Mi gently bit her lip. She looked at Shen Anyu shyly and timidly, her voice weak with surrender.
"Then... Mi Mi has no other choice. I just hope Brother Shen can be a little more gentle..."
[Ding! Child of Destiny Qi Fan's emotions have collapsed! Plundering +30,000 Destiny Points!]
Qi Fan, who had followed them out of the bar, hiding in the shadows like a rat, watched this scene and heard these words.
He felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His face turned pale, his legs weak.
Shen Anyu, however, ignored Qi Fan, the [Licking Dog Gold Child of Destiny]. He acted as if the man didn't exist.
He directly embraced Liu Mi's soft, boneless waist and walked into the lobby of the five-star hotel next door. He booked the presidential suite without breaking stride.
Qi Fan wanted to shout. He wanted to rush forward and stop them.
"NO!"
But the next moment...
Shen Anyu's bodyguard captain, Aunt Xiao, appeared in front of Qi Fan like a ghost.
Zip! Zip! Zip!
She moved with incredible speed, her fingers striking pressure points. She directly acupunctured his Yamen, Baihui, and Shangxing points.
Qi Fan froze. He was unable to move or speak. He was a statue in the dark.
Only his two eyeballs could roll around, filled with heartbreak, rage, and unwillingness.
Qi Fan couldn't imagine what would happen between his beloved goddess campus belle Liu Mi and Shen Anyu, alone in a hotel late at night.
But his imagination was vivid enough.
Especially seeing Liu Mi's willing and shy appearance... Qi Fan had an even worse premonition. He felt green with jealousy.
He cried out in his heart, a silent scream:
"Liu Mi and another man... this kind of thing... NO! I'm the man with the Licking Dog Gold Cashback System! I'm the protagonist! This isn't how the story goes!"
