Northern Lands, Snow City.
Lu's family's business reception was being held in their villa estate, filled with elite guests, and a dazzling display of lights and music.
In a corner, Lu Chengwen's body twitched, and he woke up.
He quickly absorbed the memory text in his brain, Lu Chengwen was depressed enough to die.
This was the seventh time.
He had been in a car accident while delivering takeout, and then he was pulled into the system, and transported to an online novel to be a villain.
According to the system's instructions, as long as he could survive until the end and not be killed by the protagonist, he would receive a corresponding reward and return to the real world.
He had no choice, and his mom's illness couldn't wait any longer, he needed money for her surgery, so Lu Chengwen could only accept the challenge.
However, the six times he died before were one after another, each time more miserable than the last.
The protagonist in these web novels was too monstrous!
Completely unreasonable monstrosity.
He was incredibly talented, incredibly powerful, with medical skills, ancient martial arts, cultivation, gambling, X-ray vision… he could do everything, anything you could imagine.
Most infuriatingly, he had incredible luck!
No matter how the villain tried to stir things up, he was always killed with a single palm strike by the protagonist, then a super cool line was dropped, and he walked away with a beautiful girl.
And all the beautiful girls were his, yes, if someone was even a little bit attractive, they would be in his harem, there was no room for negotiation.
Lu Chengwen had been killed by the protagonist just because he had spoken a few words to the protagonist's woman.
Is there any justice left?
Is there any law left?
Lu Chengwen quickly turned around and ran to the bathroom to calculate.
He had died at the hands of Xiao Yan, Ye Feng, Chu Feng, Ye Chen, Long Aotian, and Zhao Ritian.
This time, the novel was called "The God of War Travels to the City of Flowers: The List of Beauties."
What a disgusting name!
The protagonist was that jerk Long Aotian again.
He was a frontier war god, he returned to unify all the forces in Northland, now he was hiding his identity as a security guard, and was getting close to Leng Qingqiu.
Today's plot was Chapter 9, he would step out to protect Leng Qingqiu during the announcement of their engagement. Lu Chengwen would brag to him, get his leg broken by him, and then be offline for a few chapters to recover.
Long Aotian would then capture Leng Qingqiu's heart, and the two of them would be inseparable from then on, shameless...
Lu Chengwen splashed water on his face, looked at himself in the mirror, and gritted his teeth: "This time, I'm going to survive until the end, get the system's rewards, and go back to treat my mom!"
After calming down, Lu Chengwen, who had decided to stop being reckless and stall for a time, walked out of the bathroom.
As soon as he came out, he saw Leng Qingqiu standing at the door waiting for him.
A gorgeous evening gown, a truly breathtaking beauty, flawless.
A curvaceous figure, a cold and proud expression.
No need to ask, this is the main female lead without a doubt!
The eldest daughter of the Leng family.
The young female CEO of Qianfeng Group.
The goddess he had been chasing for three years.
The most important label: Long Aotian's woman!
Lu Chengwen squeezed out a smile, before he could speak, Leng Qingqiu said coldly: "Lu Chengwen, I will not marry you, give up on that."
Lu Chengwen laughed, thinking:
[Big sister, please spare me, marry you? I still want to live a few more years!]
[You have a great figure and an exquisite face, but unfortunately, you're a brainless main female lead, tricked by Long Aotian, your IQ went offline, and you willingly became his harem.]
[Long Aotian gets Leng Qingqiu, basically he gets the Leng family, it's a pity that the Leng family's generations of wealth will end up in the hands of the Long family.]
Lu Chengwen smiled and said: "I agree."
"You agree?"
Leng Qingqiu was very surprised.
Something is not right, Lu Chengwen was motionless just now, but how did he say so much?
I only heard him say "I agree" with his mouth, what were those other sentences?
And he's been chasing me for three years!
I've tried everything in the past three years, he just wouldn't let go, always like a clingy dog, sticking to me.
I ruined my reputation, so I used family power, got both parents involved, and today we were going to be forced to get engaged!
What's going on now?
Lu Chengwen smiled: "Qingqiu, I've thought it over, we're not a good match, let's just be ordinary friends from now on."
He was thinking:
[Go be a part of Long Aotian's harem! You, and another 999 women, are all fawning over that man, licking his shoes, and shouting about how awesome he is! Roar!]
[The priority now is to get this silly girl sorted out, she thinks she's a genius and invincible, but she's just meat on Long Aotian's chopping board, she's nine-tenths cooked, just waiting for me to jump in.]
Leng Qingqiu was certain now, she could hear Lu Chengwen's thoughts!
What do you mean I'm going to lick someone's shoes?
And serve a man with another 999 women?
Who am I, Leng Qingqiu? How could I demean myself like that?
What the hell is going on in Lu Chengwen's dog brain?
Wait, Long Aotian? The security guard I hired a few days ago?
I, Leng Qingqiu, am going to be his fangirl?!
Leng Qingqiu's expression grew even more furious, she stared intently at Lu Chengwen, wishing she could just lunge at him and bite him to death.
Lu Chengwen was stunned, he thought:
[What's wrong with this silly girl? I'm not even getting engaged anymore, and you're still so angry?]
[But she's Long Aotian's woman, I definitely can't offend her. Thankfully, the female leads are all a bit slow, she should be easy to fool.]
He quickly smiled and said, "Let's go and explain it to our elders. Let's go, let's go, take your time..."
Leng Qingqiu strode towards the room inside, her chest heaving with anger.
Lu Chengwen!
You're something else!
Three years! For a whole three years, you've been sending me gifts every day, you've been showering me with attention...
Could all the flattery and groveling over the past three years have been fake?
Now, you're calling me a "silly girl" in your head, saying I'm slow, and you look like you can't wait to get eight miles away from me...
What do you think I am?
I'll see what kind of trick you're playing!
Lu Chengwen walked behind her, thinking:
[It's settled, those three years of effort were like feeding a dog, as long as I break off the engagement with this silly woman, with my villain identity, I can go anywhere and charm ten or eight beautiful girls to make me happy!]
[She likes being a part of someone's harem, no way, she's destined to be a part of someone's harem.]
[I have to clear things up with this stupid woman, I can't leave any room for ambiguity!]
Leng Qingqiu couldn't stand it anymore, she stopped abruptly, turned around, and glared at Lu Chengwen.
Lu Chengwen was stunned, then he immediately smiled: "You're worried I'm tricking you? I, Lu Chengwen, swear on everything, I won't play any tricks! I said I'm breaking off the engagement, and I'm breaking off the engagement."
"And from now on, I will not bother you again, actually, it would be hard for you to even see me. From that moment on, we have nothing to do with each other, disappear from each other's lives! Are you happy now that you're getting rid of me?"
Leng Qingqiu was about to explode with anger.
What's this? I, Leng Qingqiu, was your goddess before, now I'm dog crap?
You're so annoyed by me? So annoyed that you can't even stand it for fifteen minutes?
This kind of guy! He's just...making me so mad!
At this time, the door opened, and the Leng and Lu families all saw them standing at the door, facing off.
"Oh dear, why are you two fighting again?"
"Yes, yes, talk about it inside, don't stand at the door!"
Lu Chengwen entered the room and shook hands with Leng Qingqiu's mom and dad: "Hello, uncle, aunt."
Before the elders could speak, Lu Chengwen said: "Uncle, aunt, Dad, Mom, Qingqiu, and I have already decided, we're not going to get engaged."
Lu Chengwen looked sincere:
"Qingqiu is strong, independent, intelligent, and decisive. She should find someone more suitable for her, someone who understands her better, and most importantly, that person should be the one she truly loves with all her heart. We should support her, bless her!"
Lu Chengwen feigned grief and pounded his chest: "Although I love her very much, I cherish her, more than I love myself. But true love is about letting go, it's about setting her free!"
Lu Chengwen was moved by his performance, his head was filled with the lyrics of that cheesy song as the background music: There's a kind of love called letting go, to give up forever for love...
Everyone froze.
Lu Guanghong didn't believe that his son could be so understanding.
I'm his father! I know what kind of person he is!
This bastard must be up to something!
Lu Chengwen was very satisfied with his acting!
[Poor Leng family, their generations of wealth will end up in the hands of that Long Aotian.]
[These family heads are something, they let their daughters be part of someone's harem, and they even give them hundreds of billions of wealth, but they're slow.]
Leng Qingqiu didn't know why she suddenly could hear Lu Chengwen's thoughts.
But Lu Chengwen seemed to know something incredible, if it went down as he imagined, wouldn't that be too unbelievable?
I'm going to be a part of someone's harem? And the security guard I hired a few days ago?
I can't let this little bastard get away with this, he must be up to something!
Lu Chengwen was still acting, he eloquently explained that he refused the engagement because he was a noble character, a morally upright person, and he truly cared for Leng Qingqiu and the Leng family.
Leng Qingqiu stood beside him, coldly watching him perform, her lungs were about to burst with anger.
Everyone was stunned.
Lu Guanghong looked at Leng Qingqiu: "Qingqiu, what do you think?"
Leng Qingqiu smiled slightly, her words shocked everyone:
"Uncle, aunt, Dad, Mom, I agree to get engaged to Chengwen."
Lu Chengwen turned his head, his eyes widened as much as they ever had!
He looked at Leng Qingqiu as if he had seen a ghost.
Leng Qingqiu's expression was cold, and there was even a hint of a mocking sneer.
