After the Protagonist Ascended, I Set My Eyes on His Woman - Chapter 45:

Chapter 45: Xiao Miao Has Arrived

“You…” Gu Qingning still wanted to say something, but then she remembered she was here for money. If she angered this bastard and didn’t get the money, Qingcheng International wouldn’t be able to recover. Gu Qingning bit her lip and said, “Fine, I’ll go change.”

“Sister-in-law…” Chen Lanyi was dumbfounded when she heard that.

“Enough, Lanyi, don’t meddle. Go get me a roast chicken,” Li Wanji said, then looked down at the loli girl in his arms. “Guoguo, what do you want to eat?”

“I-I want pomegranate juice, then roast duck, roasted pork, vegetable salad, um, and a bit of Hami melon,” Guoguo looked around and quickly finished her order.

“You heard her, Bai Ya. Go,” Li Wanji instructed.

Bai Ya, also dressed in a maid outfit, nodded and left with a tray. Only Guoguo had been spared from wearing the costume. Chen Lanyi also left to help.

Soon, the two returned with trays of food. Li Wanji began eating immediately, occasionally feeding Guoguo from time to time.

Not long after, Gu Qingning returned, now dressed in the black-and-white maid outfit with black stockings, her long hair loose and flowing.

“So beautiful,” Li Wanji stared in a daze.

“You said there’d be beautiful girls dancing,” Gu Qingning approached and asked. She was also a bit hungry and thought it’d be a good time to watch some dancing while eating.

“Yeah, aren’t you all beautiful? Start dancing,” Li Wanji replied, then grabbed his phone and used a remote to turn on the atmosphere lights.

Gu Qingning was stunned. So the so-called beautiful dancer… was her?

“I-I don’t know how,” she said awkwardly.

“It’s simple. Just follow Lanyi. Shake your hips a little, twist your waist, lift your skirt and be seductive,” Li Wanji explained.

“No way!” Chen Lanyi stood up angrily.

“What’s wrong?” Li Wanji frowned.

Chen Lanyi hesitated and said timidly, “C-Can I take my sister-in-law’s place?”

Li Wanji sneered, “I know what you’re thinking. You’re just afraid I’ll bully your sister-in-law. Heh, ask her what she thinks.”

“Lanyi, don’t worry about it. I’m doing this willingly,” Gu Qingning said.

“What?” Chen Lanyi was stunned. “Sister-in-law, how could you do this to my brother?”

Gu Qingning lowered her head. “I’m sorry. But I have no other choice. Lanyi, don’t interfere. If your brother truly cared about us, he wouldn’t have ascended.”

After speaking, she turned and walked to the carpet stage that Li Wanji had specially arranged.

“You hear that, Lanyi? Your sister-in-law holds resentment toward your brother,” Li Wanji said with a mocking smile.

Chen Lanyi seemed dazed and disheartened. She stood frozen for a moment before stepping up onto the stage.

“Let’s begin. Once you’re done dancing, I’ll announce some good news,” Li Wanji said encouragingly.

“Good news?” Chen Lanyi came back to her senses, took a deep breath, and resigned herself to it. Since she couldn’t escape, she might as well accept it. Knowing there was no choice, she calmly accepted it.

Then, she took the lead and started dancing.

“Tsk, that’s the stuff!” Li Wanji was thrilled. Watching top-tier beauties dance was truly a feast for the eyes. No wonder rich people loved song and dance troupes.

…

At the same time…

On Mo Ruyan’s end, she and Xiao Dai were at their entertainment company, watching a boy group dancing. Every member of the group was handsome—trainee idols who had been training for over two years and were almost ready to debut.

“Geez, Brother Ji hasn’t been to the company in days,” Mo Ruyan sighed.

“You’ve fallen hard, huh? What’s the point?” Xiao Dai sipped red wine, admiring her handsome trainees with a smile. “I’ve got plenty of handsome guys here. If you like any, pick one and take him home.”

Mo Ruyan looked at them and shook her head. “Mm… too feminine, not my type. I still like Brother Ji—dominant and charismatic.”

“But he’s hiding his beauties in golden mansions just to avoid you. Clearly, he doesn’t like you. Let it go,” Xiao Dai said gently, then waved to one of the trainees. “Come here, massage my shoulders.”

“Yes, Sister Xiao,” the pretty boy obediently came over and gently massaged her shoulders from behind.

“Ah, so relaxing,” Xiao Dai looked blissful.

Bang!

Suddenly, the doors were violently kicked open. A young man covered in blood stumbled in.

“What the hell? Who is that?” everyone was shocked.

“Hurry, notify Li Wanji! Xiao Miao… has arrived!” the bloody young man said with difficulty before collapsing.

“Xiao Miao!” Xiao Dai’s expression turned serious.

“Canglong!” Mo Ruyan instantly sat upright.

She immediately pulled out her phone and tried to call Li Wanji, but no matter how many times she dialed, no one answered.

“This won’t do. I have to go to his house!” Mo Ruyan grabbed her car keys and rushed out.

“Call an ambulance!” Xiao Dai ordered.

“Yes, Sister Xiao!”

…

Vroom vroom!

The sports car roared all the way and soon arrived at Li Wanji’s villa.

“Ruyan, since you’re here, come in and enjoy the feast.”

Just as she reached the entrance, Li Wanji’s voice transmitted into her mind.

She was startled and looked around, but didn’t see anyone.

“Don’t look around. I’m inside. I used a secret technique to send you a voice transmission,” Li Wanji’s voice echoed again.

“Oh my god!” Mo Ruyan covered her mouth in shock. This man was truly unpredictable. Even the martial arts legend Chen Fan couldn’t compare to this.

The moment she stepped inside, she froze.

“Did I… come to the wrong place? Is this a KTV?”

Under the glow of the atmosphere lights, three stunning beauties were performing a sultry dance. Li Wanji sat at the massive dining table, holding a twin-tailed loli in his lap, enjoying himself like a king.

“Alright, that’s enough. Come eat,” Li Wanji waved them over.

Gu Qingning stopped dancing, panting softly. The three women returned to the table and sat down.

“So tired,” Chen Lanyi’s flushed face was beaded with sweat.

“I’ll go check on Nuonuo,” Bai Ya said.

“No need. Nuonuo’s fast asleep,” Li Wanji said.

“Oh,” Bai Ya obediently sat back down.

“Since the dancing’s over, let me share the good news—Bai Ya is pregnant,” Li Wanji announced.

“What?!” Chen Lanyi had just picked up her chopsticks when her hand shook, and they fell with a clatter.

“Huh?” Gu Qingning was frozen in shock.

All eyes turned to Bai Ya.

Bai Ya nodded, her pretty face blushing. “It’s true. Over two months now.”

Chen Lanyi turned pale. This bastard could have children?! That meant she definitely wouldn’t escape either. Oh no… what should she do…

Mo Ruyan was completely stunned. What kind of situation was this?! She’d just arrived and already heard such explosive news.

Wait a minute…

Why did the name Bai Ya sound so familiar?

Wasn’t she Master Chen’s woman?

Mo Ruyan’s eyes widened. She knew about some of the grudges between Li Wanji and Chen Fan, but she didn’t expect Li Wanji to be so outrageous as to make his enemy’s woman pregnant.

Holy crap… what a move.

“Um…” Mo Ruyan finally remembered her purpose for coming. “Rong Jiuxiao has been injured. Xiao Miao is already in Mingyun City.”

On the way here, she had received a call from Xiao Dai and learned that the blood-covered man earlier was actually Rong Jiuxiao.
