After the Protagonist Ascended, I Set My Eyes on His Woman - Chapter 15:

Chapter 15: Gu Qingning Pulls Strings

“I’m giving you three minutes. Tonight, I will have you.” Li Wanji said as he wrapped his arm around her waist and began groping her all over.

He had sworn never to be a simp in this life. When facing beautiful women, he wouldn’t show any mercy.

Bai Ya’s delicate body trembled slightly, clearly afraid.

“Don’t be scared. I’m not a pervert. Tonight, I’ll make sure you enjoy every moment.” Li Wanji smiled as he lifted her exquisite chin and kissed her rosy lips.

That night, Li Wanji was very satisfied.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for taking revenge on Chen Fan once again.]

[Reward received: Basic Flying Sword x1]

[Reward received: Essence-Nurturing Pill x1]

[Reward received: Alien Technology Blueprint]

The system, silent for days, suddenly spoke again.

[Congratulations, Host, a side quest has been triggered.]

[Side Quest: Bai Ya]

[Make Bai Ya pregnant with the Host’s child. Reward: Large Spirit Stone Gift Pack.]

…

The next morning.

“Don’t even think about running away. As a cultivator, finding you would be effortless,” Li Wanji said as he got up and dressed. After breakfast, he left for the company.

“Wuuu…” In the bedroom, Bai Ya was curled up naked under the blanket, sobbing.

“Sister-in-law!” Chen Lanyi entered the room carrying Nuonuo.

“Mommy,” Nuonuo said softly, worried, and climbed onto the bed.

“Nuonuo…” Bai Ya hugged her daughter tightly, crying even harder.

“Mommy,” Nuonuo just held her and gently wiped her tears with her small hands.

“Mommy’s fine.” Bai Ya wiped her tears and asked Chen Lanyi, “Has he left?”

“Yeah, he went to the company. Sister-in-law, why don’t you take Nuonuo and run away? Go abroad!” Chen Lanyi suggested.

“I can’t go. If I leave, Qingning and you will be in danger.” Bai Ya gently shook her head.

“But sister-in-law…”

“Lanyi, don’t say anymore. Go buy me a box of Yuting.” (emergency contraceptive)

“Sister-in-law, he won’t allow you to take medicine. If he finds out, we’ll be doomed.”

“But what if I get pregnant? I don’t want to bear his child!” Bai Ya’s face went pale. She only loved Chen Fan, and only wanted to have children with him. If she were to conceive that bastard’s child… she had no idea what she’d do.

“It probably won’t happen,” Chen Lanyi replied, thinking about herself. She hadn’t gotten pregnant despite so long.

“That guy must have some kind of problem. Don’t worry, sister-in-law. It hasn’t happened to me either.”

“Mm… I hope so.” Bai Ya relaxed slightly and got out of bed to dress.

…

Meanwhile, at Wanqing Group, in the chairman’s office.

“The taste of a mature woman is something else,” Li Wanji reminisced with a smirk. “Top tier.”

“But from today onward, I guess I’m on the same path as Chen Fan, hehe.”

This was the joy of putting a green hat on an enemy’s head—unexpectedly satisfying!

“Chen Fan, stay focused on your cultivation in the Ancient Martial World. Your wife and daughter… I’ll take care of them. Keh keh keh!”

Li Wanji let out a twisted laugh and then pulled out the rewards from the system.

A flying sword, a bottle of pills, and a stack of blueprints.

The flying sword was green all over and looked decent. Just right—Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators could use basic flying swords.

The pill was for strengthening and stabilizing cultivation—great for someone at the early stage of Foundation Establishment Realm.

The blueprints were for alien black technology.

“High-tech smartphones, land-sea-air vehicles, intelligent AI—excellent, just what I need,” Li Wanji said, delighted.

“Chairman.” At that moment, Xiao Dai walked in wearing a professional OL outfit, her face slightly troubled.

“The supply of bailing herb has been cut off. The Cao family, who used to supply us, suddenly terminated the contract and stopped delivery to my family.”

“We’re short on bailing herb now, and production has halted. Each day we’re losing tens of millions.”

“What happened?” Li Wanji frowned. A sudden breach of contract and halted supply? It had to be sabotage.

“Not sure yet. My family is still investigating. We should have results soon.” Xiao Dai looked a bit ashamed. “I didn’t expect them to break the deal… I’m sorry.”

“This isn’t your fault,” Li Wanji said calmly.

“I’ll handle this,” Xiao Dai replied. But just as she finished speaking, her phone rang.

“Hello?” Then her expression darkened. “So it’s not just the Cao family? Are you sure the Cang family got involved? I knew it.”

She quickly hung up and turned to Li Wanji. “It’s Gu Qingning. She used her connections with Chen Fan to pressure the Cang family, who then forced the Cao family to cut us off.”

Li Wanji smirked. “That woman… really thinks she can control me like this?”

“Brother, it’s a call from Gu Qingning.” At that moment, Li Qinglan entered with her phone—still on the line. Gu Qingning didn’t have Li Wanji’s number, so she had called Li Qinglan instead.

Li Wanji took the phone. “This is Li Wanji.”

Gu Qingning’s voice was cold and slightly haughty. “I’m sure you know what’s going on. If you want to resume production, come beg me. I’ll be waiting at the company building.”

She hung up after speaking.

Xiao Dai and Li Qinglan exchanged glances.

“Brother, are you really going to beg her?” Li Qinglan asked, feeling indignant. That woman was way too arrogant! Did she think Chen Fan was still around?

“Of course not. She really thinks our beauty cream can’t function without bailing herb?”

Li Wanji chuckled mysteriously. “There’s no such thing as an irreplaceable ingredient in this world. No ginseng? Use dangshen instead.”

“You mean… we can substitute bailing herb?” Li Qinglan’s eyes lit up.

“Exactly. We can use poria, polygonatum, and angelica dahurica to replicate the effects of bailing herb. It’ll raise costs slightly, but so what? Our profit margins on the beauty cream are massive—we can absorb it.”

Li Wanji spoke steadily.

“That’s great!” Xiao Dai smiled with relief. She had feared he might blame her, but clearly, Li Wanji was far more reasonable than Chen Fan. Ever since discovering he was a Grandmaster, she’d felt a bit uneasy around him.

Li Wanji took a pen and paper, wrote out the formula and proportions, and handed it to Xiao Dai. “Get someone to start purchasing immediately. Let’s resume production tomorrow.”

“Got it.” Xiao Dai accepted it and left.

Li Wanji didn’t linger either. He packed his things, ready to head home.

That afternoon, he needed to cultivate for a few hours, refine the Essence-Nurturing Pill, and stabilize his early stage Foundation Establishment Realm.

“Brother Wanji, heading out?” Mo Ruyan walked over with a document in her arms.

“Anything else?” Li Wanji glanced at her slender, black-stockinged legs.

Smooth. Perfect. No matter how many times he saw them, they were breathtaking.

“Uh… nothing really. Just a document needing your signature.”

“Leave those to Qinglan. I trust you all to handle the company.” Li Wanji waved his hand. “I’ve got things to do, I’m heading out.”

He left quickly.

“What, couldn’t say it?” Xiao Dai came out of the adjacent office, covering her mouth with a laugh.

“I was too embarrassed.” Mo Ruyan pouted and lightly stomped her foot.

“As if he’d be interested in you.” Xiao Dai snorted.

“Who says he’s not? He just checked out my black stockings! I just need to seduce him a little more. He won’t be able to resist—hmph!” Mo Ruyan said confidently.
