After the Protagonist Ascended, I Set My Eyes on His Woman - Chapter 5:

Chapter 5: Partnering with Mo Ruyan, the Loli Girl Guoguo

After experiencing the miraculous effect of the beauty cream, everyone was ecstatic.

Li Wanji immediately began assigning tasks. Hong Yue was sent to register the company. Hou Zi was tasked with finding a place to rent. As for Li Wanji, he brought his sister along to find suppliers—especially for a few rare medicinal ingredients. He had no idea if they could be sourced in large quantities, so he needed to resolve that personally.

Once everyone had their assignment, they split up.

Li Wanji soon arrived at the Qin family’s property—Licorice Hall.

The Qin family and Mo family were the largest suppliers of medicinal herbs not only in Mingyun City but throughout the southern region. Both had their own cultivation bases across various provinces.

“I want to see your boss,” Li Wanji said as he approached the garden’s supervisor.

“Do you have an appointment?” the supervisor asked, sizing him up with a trace of contempt in his eyes.

“No,” Li Wanji replied.

“Then do you even know our boss?” the man asked again.

“Your boss is Qin Ruoyun. Of course I know her—and I even know her secret,” Li Wanji said flatly.

He knew about Qin Ruoyun because in his previous life, he had read about her in a novel—she was one of Chen Fan’s little lovers.

“Hmph, everyone knows the boss of Licorice Hall is our young miss. If you don’t have an appointment, then leave. Our lady doesn’t see outsiders,” the supervisor said coldly, clearly dismissing him.

“Brother, let’s go,” Li Qinglan tugged her brother’s sleeve in disappointment.

Li Wanji didn’t argue. If they chose to throw away this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, they would eventually regret it.

“Wow, the Qin family’s employees really are overbearing. Driving out customers now?” a teasing voice called out.

Two women approached.

The one in front had soft burgundy curls, looked to be in her early twenties, and had enchanting, lively eyes paired with a subtle smile. She wore a black office uniform, her slender legs wrapped in semi-transparent black stockings—sexy and alluring.

She was the Mo family’s eldest daughter, Mo Ruyan.

Behind her was a woman with a more classical temperament—long, straight black hair, delicate features, and a white dress. Her high heels accentuated her long, shapely legs, blending elegance with subtle seductiveness.

She was Qin Ruoyun.

Mo Ruyan stepped up to Li Wanji, gently placed a jade-like finger on his shoulder, and leaned in with a flirtatious smile, “Handsome, you’re not welcome here. Why don’t you come to my Houpo Herbal Garden? Or better yet, let’s get a hotel room and have a proper conversation.”

Qin Ruoyun spoke coldly, “If you’re here for business, don’t bother. Our Qin family doesn’t waste time on small-scale ventures.”

“Hehe, handsome, why don’t we work together instead? What kind of business are you doing? Let me guess—you’re a doctor trying to buy a batch of herbs, right?” Mo Ruyan giggled sweetly.

Li Wanji nodded. “Sure, I’ll partner with you.”

“Great! Let’s chat while we walk. Let me introduce myself—I’m Mo Ruyan, the eldest daughter of the Mo family. Houpo Herbal Garden is my business.”

The three of them left Licorice Hall, chatting as they walked.

“Miss Mo, to be honest, I’ve developed a beauty product. Trials show it has excellent whitening and skincare effects. I’m planning to go into mass production,” Li Wanji explained. “So I need a lot of raw materials. If your side can supply them, I promise you’ll get rich.”

“Beauty?” Mo Ruyan raised a brow. “You’re seriously getting into that market? With Qingcheng International already dominating the scene? Isn’t that suicide?”

After all, the Qin family worked with Qingcheng International, which was why they didn’t even look at small ventures now.

“My beauty cream works better than Qingcheng International’s Jade Skin Powder,” Li Wanji said as he pulled out a box. “If you don’t believe me, feel free to try it.”

“Alright, let’s go back to my Houpo Herbal Garden and talk in detail.”

Mo Ruyan drove her Maserati, taking Li Wanji and Li Qinglan back to her company.

Once inside the office, Mo Ruyan opened the beauty cream and applied some to the back of her hand. Due to recent travel, her skin was a bit tanned.

Half an hour later, she washed it off and was stunned to see that the area where she applied the cream had turned noticeably fairer and smoother.

“Heavens!” Mo Ruyan exclaimed, “This is amazing! What ingredients did you use?”

“If Miss Mo wants to know, consider investing in my company. I can’t share the formula with outsiders,” Li Wanji said with a smile. He thought she was beautiful, sexy, and had a charming personality—definitely worth pulling in as a shareholder.

“Hehe, alright. But I can only invest 10 million yuan right now. Just give me 10% equity as a silent partner,” Mo Ruyan giggled.

Li Wanji smiled, “Then from now on, we’re partners. Welcome aboard, Miss Mo.”

Over the next two days, the company was successfully registered, and the factory was rented. Mo Ruyan transferred 10 million yuan, which was just enough to buy equipment and hire staff.

Everything was moving at full speed.

Of course, Li Wanji remained fairly relaxed. He left all the execution to his subordinates. During the day, he’d handle some business, and at night, he’d cuddle with a stunning girl and “play cards.”

One day, Li Wanji drove a sports car to the gates of Mingyun University, ready to pick up Chen Lanyi. The Ferrari he drove was one of the cars Chen Fan had left in the garage. With dozens of sports cars there, he figured he might as well use them.

Through the window, he saw the gorgeous Chen Lanyi approaching—walking side by side with a cute girl with twin ponytails.

“What a cute loli!” Li Wanji’s eyes lit up instantly.

She had a baby-like face, delicate features, and a bit of youthful chubbiness. Her figure was petite, yet a certain part of her figure was anything but small.

Baby face, mature body!

Four words automatically flashed across Li Wanji’s mind.

“Bye-bye!” the twin-ponytailed girl waved as she skipped off and got into a Rolls-Royce waiting by the roadside.

“Bye-bye!” Chen Lanyi waved back.

“Get in,” Li Wanji rolled down the window and called out.

Chen Lanyi’s face froze. The smile she had been wearing vanished in an instant. With her head lowered, she walked toward the sports car, opened the door, and got in.

“I don’t want you picking me up,” she muttered with a sulk as soon as she got in.

“What, you’re not willing?” Li Wanji’s tone carried a threat. He added, “Fine. I’ll go find your sisters-in-law then. Oh, and I heard there’s someone named Bai Ya who gave your brother a daughter, right? Heh.”

Chen Lanyi’s face went pale. “You bastard! I won’t let you touch them!”

“Then behave,” Li Wanji snorted.

Chen Lanyi lowered her head in silence.

“The girl walking with you just now—what’s her name?” Li Wanji asked as he started the car.

“Her name is Guoguo. Don’t you dare lay a finger on her!” Chen Lanyi warned sharply.

Others might not know, but Chen Lanyi was well aware—this man was a pervert.

These past three days, he had tormented her every night until the middle of the night.

“Guoguo… got it.” Li Wanji quickly recalled.

If memory served, Guoguo had turned eighteen three days after Chen Fan’s ascension.

In other words, just yesterday, she had celebrated her eighteenth birthday!

That’s why Chen Fan had been raising her but never touched her—only hugging her at most. Even her first kiss was still intact.
