North Country, Snow Capital.
Lu Jia's business cocktail party was held in the villa estate, with a crowd of celebrities and a sea of red lights and green wine.
In a corner, Lu Chengwen's body trembled, and he woke up.
Quickly accepting the memories in his mind, Lu Chengwen felt depressed and wanted to die.
For the seventh time.
He was hit by a car while delivering food and was then pulled into the system, transported into a web novel as the antagonist.
According to the system's prompt, as long as he could survive until the end without being killed by the protagonist, he would receive the corresponding reward to take back to the real world.
First, there was no choice, and second, his mother's illness could not be delayed any longer. He needed to earn money for her surgery, so Lu Chengwen had to accept the challenge.
However, in the previous six times, he died more tragically each time.
The protagonist in the web novel was too crazy!
Completely unreasonable crazy.
All were exceptionally talented, with extraordinary strength, medical skills, ancient martial arts, cultivation, gambling skills, X-ray vision... you name it, he could do it.
The most infuriating was his outrageous luck!
No matter how the antagonist tried to cause trouble, in the end, he would be killed with one palm, and the protagonist would leave with a bombastic line, hugging a beautiful girl and walking away.
And all the beauties were his. Yes, as long as they had some charm, they would definitely be part of his harem, with no room for negotiation.
Lu Chengwen was once killed by Long Aotian just for talking a few extra words to his woman.
Is there still any law?
Is there still any justice?
Lu Chengwen quickly turned and ran to the bathroom, starting to calculate.
He had already died at the hands of: Xiao Yan, Ye Feng, Chu Feng, Ye Chen, Long Aotian, and Zhao Ritian.
This time, the book was called "The War God's Flower City: The Catalogue of Beauties."
What a disgusting name!
The protagonist was Long Aotian again.
He was a war god from the border, returning to unify all the forces in the North Country. Now, he was hiding his identity as a security guard, getting closer to Leng Qingqiu.
Today's plot was Chapter 9, where he would stand up to protect Leng Qingqiu during the announcement of their engagement. He would show off, and Long Aotian would break one of his legs, then go offline for a few chapters to recover.
Meanwhile, Long Aotian would win Leng Qingqiu's heart, and the two would become inseparable, shameless...
Lu Chengwen splashed water on his face and, looking at himself in the mirror, gritted his teeth: "This time, I will survive until the end and take the system's reward back to treat my mom!"
After calming down, Lu Chengwen, who planned to stay steady and drag it out, walked out of the bathroom.
As soon as he came out, he saw Leng Qingqiu standing at the door waiting for him.
Wearing a noble evening gown, she was truly a beauty that could topple a nation, with a flawless, stunning face.
Her figure was well-proportioned, and her expression was cold and proud.
No need to ask, she was definitely the first female lead!
The eldest daughter of the Leng family.
The young president of Qianfeng Group.
His goddess whom he had adored for three years.
The most important label: Long Aotian's woman!
Lu Chengwen forced a smile, but before he could speak, Leng Qingqiu coldly said, "Lu Chengwen, I will not marry you. Give up on it!"
Lu Chengwen laughed, thinking:
[Big sister, please spare me. Marry you? I want to live a few more years!]
[Her figure is great, and her face is top-notch, but unfortunately, she's a brainless female lead, manipulated by Long Aotian to the point of losing her IQ, willing to be part of his harem.]
[Long Aotian taking Leng Qingqiu basically means taking over the Leng family. What a pity, generations of the Leng family's business will end up in the hands of someone surnamed Long.]
Lu Chengwen smiled and said, "I agree."
"You agree?"
Leng Qingqiu was surprised.
Something was off. Lu Chengwen hadn't moved, but how did he say so much?
She only heard "I agree" from his mouth, but what were those other sentences?
And he had been fawning over her for three years!
In those three years, she had tried every method, but he refused to let go, always clinging to her like a stray dog.
When his reputation was ruined, he used his family's power to have both sets of parents intervene, forcing her to agree to the engagement today!
What was going on now?
Lu Chengwen smiled and said, "Qingqiu, I've thought it through. We're not a good match. Let's just be ordinary friends from now on."
In his mind, he thought:
[Go ahead and be Long Aotian's harem! You and the other 999 women, all fawning over that man, licking his shoes, and shouting how great he is! Haha!]
[The first priority is to deal with this silly woman. She thinks she's a genius, but she's just meat on Long Aotian's chopping board, almost cooked, just waiting for me to push her over the edge.]
Leng Qingqiu was certain she could hear Lu Chengwen's thoughts!
What, go lick someone's shoes?
And serve a man with 999 other women?
Who is Leng Qingqiu? How could I be so low?
What is this dog-brained Lu Chengwen thinking?
Wait, Long Aotian? The security guard I hired a few days ago?
I, Leng Qingqiu, as his fawning dog!?
Leng Qingqiu's expression grew angrier, and she glared at Lu Chengwen, wanting to pounce and bite him.
Lu Chengwen was taken aback, thinking:
[What's wrong with this silly woman? I'm not marrying her anymore, and she's still so angry?]
[But she's Long Aotian's woman, so I can't offend her. Luckily, the female lead's brain is full of holes, so she should be easy to pacify.]
He quickly smiled and said, "Let's go and explain to the elders. Come, come, take your time..."
Leng Qingqiu strode into the room, her chest heaving with anger.
The chapter hasn't ended, click the next page to continue reading!
Lu Chengwen!
You're something!
For three years, you've been giving me gifts and showing me attention every day...
Were the past three years of fawning and kneeling all fake?
Now you're calling me a "silly woman" in your head, saying my brain is full of holes, and acting like you can't wait to get away from me...
What do you take me for?
I want to see what kind of trick you're playing!
Long Aotian, walking behind her, thought:
[It's settled. Three years of effort were wasted, but as long as I break the engagement with this silly woman, with my antagonist status, I can easily find ten or eight beautiful girls to make me happy.]
[She likes being part of a harem, but that's her fate.]
[I must cut ties with this stupid woman, with no lingering attachments!]
Leng Qingqiu couldn't take it anymore, suddenly stopping and turning to glare at Lu Chengwen.
Lu Chengwen was taken aback and immediately smiled, "Are you worried I'm lying? I, Lu Chengwen, swear by the light that I won't play any tricks! I said we'll break the engagement, and we will."
"From now on, I won't bother you at all. In fact, it will be hard for you to even see me. We'll have no connection from now on, disappearing from each other's lives! Does that make you happy?"
Leng Qingqiu was about to explode.
What? I, Leng Qingqiu, was once your goddess, and now I'm just trash?
You hate me so much that you can't even wait a moment?
What a dog of a man! I'm... so angry!
At that moment, the door opened, and both the Leng and Lu families saw them standing at the door, facing off.
"Oh, you're arguing again?"
"Right, right, come inside and talk. Don't stand at the door!"
Lu Chengwen entered and shook hands with Leng Qingqiu's mother and father, "Uncle, Aunt, hello."
Before the elders could speak, Lu Chengwen said, "Uncle, Aunt, Dad, Mom, Qingqiu and I have discussed it. We don't plan to get engaged."
Lu Chengwen looked sincere:
"Qingqiu is strong, independent, wise, and decisive. She should find someone more suitable, someone who truly understands her. Most importantly, that person should be her true love. We should support her and bless her!"
Lu Chengwen feigned sorrow, pounding his chest, "Although I like her, love her, and cherish her more than myself, true love is about letting go and making sacrifices!"
Lu Chengwen was moved by his own performance, with the cliché song playing in his head: "There's a kind of love called letting go, giving up eternal love for love..."
Everyone was stunned.
Lu Guanghong didn't believe his son could be so reasonable.
I'm his father! I know what kind of person he is.
This scoundrel must be up to something!
Lu Chengwen was satisfied with his acting!
[Poor Leng family, generations of wealth will end up in Long Aotian's hands.]
[These rich family heads are really something. They let their daughters be part of a harem and give away billions of assets. Their brains are full of holes.]
Leng Qingqiu didn't know why she could suddenly hear Lu Chengwen's thoughts.
But Lu Chengwen seemed to know something significant. If his prediction was correct, this plot was too absurd.
I'm going to be part of a harem? For a security guard I hired a few days ago?
I can't let Lu Chengwen off. He must be up to something!
Lu Chengwen continued his performance, passionately explaining that he refused the engagement because of his noble character and genuine concern for Leng Qingqiu and the Leng family.
Leng Qingqiu stood beside him, coldly watching his act, her lungs almost bursting with anger.
Everyone was confused.
Lu Guanghong looked at Leng Qingqiu, "Qingqiu, what do you think?"
Leng Qingqiu smiled, shocking everyone:
"Uncle, Aunt, Dad, Mom, I agree to get engaged to Brother Chengwen."
Lu Chengwen turned his head, his eyes wide open in shock!
He looked at Leng Qingqiu as if he had seen a ghost.
Leng Qingqiu's expression was cold, even with a hint of mocking smile.
