Chapter 735: Some Interesting News
President Ling has fallen for her best friend's man?
The words from the diary entry burned into Ren Zhacheng's mind, and his entire world seemed to detonate.
He had originally believed Ling Qingcheng had merely been violated, that she had lost her body but not her will. How could she have lost her heart as well?
Ren Zhacheng had already decided to put the previous events behind him.
Forgiveness. Yes, he could forgive her.
Even if Ling Qingcheng was no longer pure, he could still bring himself to forgive her. He still wanted her.
After all, Ling Qingcheng had always been the singular obsession that drove him. For her, Ren Zhacheng had expended countless efforts just to secure an internship at the Ling Group. After acquiring the Goddess Future Diary System, his possessiveness had intensified, and he had come to regard Ling Qingcheng as his exclusive property, a prize waiting to be claimed!
But now? Now, the diary was telling him that not only had President Ling lost her body, but she had actually fallen for another man—and not just any man, but her best friend Zhang Yaqian's man?
[Ding! The Destined Child, Ren Zhacheng, has suffered a mental collapse! Plundering +9999 Destiny Value!]
[Ding! The Destined Child, Ren Zhacheng, is in extreme anguish! Plundering +9999 Destiny Value!]
[Ding! The Destined Child, Ren Zhacheng's, psychological defenses have been shattered! Plundering +9999 Destiny Value!]
"Absolutely not!" Ren Zhacheng gritted his teeth, his face contorting into a hysterical mask of fury. This was more unacceptable, more infuriating than anything that had come before.
President Ling had to be his woman. She must be.
'I have to find a way to stop this!'
But how? How could he possibly stop it?
Ren Zhacheng's brow furrowed, his mind racing in a desperate spiral. He'd been fired from the Ling Group. He couldn't even get past the front doors of the headquarters building. How was he supposed to contact Ling Qingcheng? How could he possibly intervene?
He could use an Invisibility Pill to sneak in; he still had one left, good for two hours.
But what then? What could he do once he was inside? How would that stop anything?
'Perhaps… I can tell that Zhang Yaqian…'
A flicker of malicious inspiration lit up Ren Zhacheng's eyes. From Ling Qingcheng's diary, it was obvious how much she valued her best friend, Zhang Yaqian. If Zhang Yaqian found out, Ling Qingcheng would surely be too ashamed and guilt-ridden to pursue a relationship with that man.
But that presented a new problem: who exactly was Zhang Yaqian?
As a lowly intern, Ren Zhacheng had no access to President Ling Qingcheng's social circle. He didn't know who this Zhang Yaqian was, not even her full name.
'I'll have to ask around later,' he mused. Since she was Ling Qingcheng's best friend, surely the security guards at Ling Group, or maybe even President Ling's driver, would know of her.
"Now, let's look at He Yiyi's Goddess Future Diary," he muttered to himself, trying to steady his frayed nerves.
'Stay calm. Don't let your defenses break. Stay calm. Don't let your defenses break.''Heh, He Yiyi is in a passionate relationship with that Shen Anyu guy. The diary is bound to mention him. I've already prepared myself for it, so I won't lose my cool.''Besides,'he reasoned with a sliver of desperate hope,'He Yiyi's period just started. It's not like they can do anything anyway.'
Taking several deep, ragged breaths, Ren Zhacheng braced himself and forced his eyes back to the system screen.
[August 25th, Cloudy turning to Clear]
[He Yiyi, you must have saved the entire galaxy in your previous life!!!]
[Being with Brother Shen is just too blissful, hehe.]
[The internet always says that… that kind of thing… is very painful for the first time. But with Brother Shen, it wasn't painful at all! It was very, very, very pleasant. Just like Yaoyao said, it was a dreamlike experience. I won't say any more, it's too embarrassing.]
[In the future, Yaoyao and I will serve Brother Shen together. I hope we can receive even more of Brother Shen's affection.]
[Ding! The Destined Child, Ren Zhacheng's, psychological defenses have been shattered! Plundering +9999 Destiny Value!]
[Ding! The Destined Child, Ren Zhacheng's, mind has completely fractured! Plundering +9999 Destiny Value!]
Ren Zhacheng clutched at his chest, a strangled gasp escaping his lips. The air in his lungs seemed to have turned to poison.
He had tried so hard to prepare himself, to build up his mental walls, but one look at He Yiyi's diary had reduced them to rubble. From her euphoric entry, he could easily deduce the truth: her period was over. She had offered her small, soft, delicate body to that great, wicked wolf, Shen Anyu.
And she was even planning to join forces with some "Yaoyao" to serve him together.
This Yaoyao had to be that fashionable, stunning woman he'd seen at the coffee shop—Zhou Luyao.
A wave of deep, bitter unwillingness washed over Ren Zhacheng.
"Bitches! They're all bitches!" he snarled.
He had fantasized that Zhou Luyao and He Yiyi would fight out of jealousy, that their rivalry would cause them to break up with Shen Anyu and create endless trouble for him.
But they weren't jealous at all. Instead, they had teamed up?
They were all just a bunch of shameless bitches!
Ren Zhacheng was incandescent with rage, his heart a cauldron of seething resentment. If they were offering to serve him, Ren Zhacheng would have been bursting with pride, eager and ecstatic. But because they were serving Shen Anyu, they were nothing but whores in his eyes.
Before he could finish his venomous tirade, Ren Zhacheng cried out in pain as the wound on his body split open from the sheer force of his fury.
[Ding! The Destined Child, Ren Zhacheng, is heartbroken! Plundering +5555 Destiny Value!]
A faint smile played on Shen Anyu's lips as he withdrew his attention.
He had no time to waste watching the pathetic drama of that eunuch Ren Zhacheng through the nanometer monitoring robot. Looking at beautiful women was a far better use of his time.
His gaze fell upon the lovely young woman seated before him.
"Yiyi," Shen Anyu asked with a warm smile, "your period should be almost over, right?"
It was already noon, and they were in the middle of lunch.
Hearing Shen Anyu's sudden, intimate question, He Yiyi's face instantly flushed a deep crimson. She lowered her head, her voice as soft as a mouse's squeak. "St-still one more day, I think."
He Yiyi watched as the smile in Shen Anyu's eyes grew more intense, and her heart began to hammer against her ribs.
'Does Brother Shen… want me?'
The thought sent a jolt through her, and she couldn't help but recall the private conversation she'd had with Zhou Luyao the previous night. The memory made her cheeks burn even hotter.
Beside her, Zhou Luyao covered her own red lips and let out a soft, mischievous chuckle.
"I have something to attend to, so I need to leave for a bit," Shen Anyu announced. "Let Yaoyao accompany you for a stroll."
"Ah? Brother Shen, you're leaving already?" Forgetting her shyness in an instant, He Yiyi looked up at him, her eyes filled with undisguised reluctance.
"Yes, something came up," Shen Anyu said with a gentle smile. "Oh, by the way, I've already bought the villa adjacent to this one. It's in your name."
"Brother Shen, that's… that's too valuable!" He Yiyi gasped, her eyes wide with shock. This was a luxurious villa in Jinxiu Mountain Villa, each one worth over a hundred million.
"I'm giving it to you, so just accept it. Be good." Shen Anyu reached out and patted her head affectionately. Then, his voice dropped to a low, meaningful tone. "If you feel grateful, then you can serve me well after your period is over."
A fresh wave of heat washed over He Yiyi's face, but this time, she simply blushed and nodded gently.
A short while later, He Yiyi walked Shen Anyu to the villa's entrance. She stood there watching as his car drove away, her gaze remaining fixed on the spot where it had disappeared long after it was out of sight.
"Oh, look at you, turning into a statue waiting for your husband to return," Zhou Luyao teased as she came up behind her. "I never expected you, Yiyi, to be such a love-struck fool."
"Yaoyao, what nonsense are you spouting?" He Yiyi whirled around, pouting as she glared at her friend.
"What? Just last night you were asking me for tips on how to serve Brother Shen, and now you're turning on me?" Zhou Luyao raised a perfectly sculpted eyebrow.
"Zhou Luyao! I'm going to tear that mouth of yours apart!" Both shy and flustered, He Yiyi stomped her foot and lunged for her friend.
"Help! Someone's trying to silence a witness!" Zhou Luyao shrieked with laughter and darted away.
Inside the opulent villa, the pure and petite He Yiyi and the glamorous, statuesque Zhou Luyao chased each other through the grand halls, their laughter echoing in the sunlit space, creating a uniquely delightful scene.
From his seat in Villa Number One, Shen Anyu withdrew his gaze.
An interesting piece of news had just been reported.
