My System Forces Me to Live off Women

Chapter 370 - 284: Love Transaction (Part 3)

"Are these people your visitors?"

"Yes."

The middle-aged woman noticed some strangers arriving, seemed a bit nervous, said goodbye to He Yimeng in a hurry, and left quickly. The four people who had arrived were none other than Li Peifeng and the others.

"Xiaomeng, have you eaten yet?"

Huang Tianxuan greeted from the front, had a brief chat with He Yimeng, and then Wu Wenyue started talking to her again.

"I saw the first video you posted yesterday, the numbers look good, and it’s quite well-made. Although this kind of transformation content seems simple, it’s not easy to do well. It seems like you really have a knack for this!"

He Yimeng laughed: "It’s mainly thanks to the editing. I shot a lot of material, then sent it to Tang Yan and others for post-production and music, so they deserve more credit."

Wu Wenyue nodded: "Your account’s video content needs to be more diverse; you can’t just post looks-based works. Let’s have a remote meeting tomorrow to discuss it. We’ll find ways for you to shoot more great content, and aim to reach 100,000 followers soon. Then we can do a live stream together, and I can help direct traffic to you."

"Okay."

After a few more words, Zhao Qingge suddenly asked: "Is your advisor busy recently? Still taking consultations?"

He Yimeng replied, "She’s been busy with a lateral project lately, but she seems to be taking cases still, though mostly the tricky ones that other counselors couldn’t handle and were referred to her."

Zhao Qingge nodded slightly, said no more, and went back to Building Two alone.

Li Peifeng felt a bit distressed, as he could guess Old Zhao’s thoughts through [Mutual Hearts]. The mentor was troubled and wanted to seek some help through psychological consultation.

"You should have a good chat with Duoduo yourself when you have the time, there’s no need to see a psychological counselor, and there’s Tianxuan..."

Li Peifeng felt it was quite tricky for Huang Tianxuan to come to He Yimeng for counseling, due to the complicated relationship with himself. If Miss Huang told everything about his matters, Li Peifeng had no idea what consequences it might lead to.

"Alright, you all chat. Xiaofeng, I’m heading home."

"Mm."

Wu Wenyue exchanged a few more words with He Yimeng, then also headed towards Building Two, leaving only three people on the scene.

"Let’s chat inside." Huang Tianxuan, wearing a mask, had a calm look in her eyes: "Is there water inside?"

"Yes, I’ve prepared a thermos of hot water."

He Yimeng stood up to let them in, and entered the garage together with Huang Tianxuan, followed silently by Li Peifeng.

"Peifeng, shouldn’t you be on patrol this morning?" He Yimeng took off her goggles, puzzled: "Or are the two of you doing the consultation together?"

Li Peifeng chuckled: "I’m not consulting, just want to sit here for a while and let you talk."

He Yimeng gave a subtle look, glanced at Huang Tianxuan, saw her frown slightly, and hesitated: "That’s not very appropriate. How can we talk with you here? Didn’t I tell you before about some taboos during counseling, did you forget?"

"...There are indeed taboos, come out with me for a moment."

Li Peifeng cleared his throat, lowered his voice and spoke, then stepped out of the garage.

"Then let me have a word with him first."

He Yimeng nodded to Huang Tianxuan, stepped out of the garage, and asked curiously: "What’s up?"

"..."

"Say something!"

Li Peifeng thought for a while, and just as He Yimeng was getting a bit impatient, he slowly said, "Huang Tianxuan might be facing some emotional trouble. If she talks to you about it, I hope you’ll stick to the counselor’s principles and guide her properly."

"Of course, do you even need to say that? That’s the whole point of consultation..."

He Yimeng felt perplexed, and just as she finished speaking, seemed to realize something, her pupils dilated, she immediately turned to look at Huang Tianxuan sitting inside, then shifted her scrutinizing gaze to Li Peifeng, speaking lightly and deliberately:

"You better not tell me her emotional troubles are caused by you?"

Li Peifeng didn’t answer, gazing into the distance with a complex look, he murmured, "I’m your man, and she’s my... Actually, you giving Tianxuan a consultation probably violates the ethical guidelines for counselors. Maybe you should find an excuse to refuse."

"What the heck?!"

He Yimeng couldn’t help but take off her mask and moved farther from the door with Li Peifeng, speaking quickly: "What exactly is your relationship? Aren’t you just ordinary friends? Tell me right now!"

Li Peifeng blinked: "All in all, it’s complicated, but basically, our relationship is rather simple. It’s... should be, probably, maybe... similar to our current relationship?!"

Surprise, mockery, amusement, disgust, anger flashed across He Yimeng’s face, but only for a second or two, then she started laughing: "Let me ask a question first to avoid any misunderstanding from either of us."

"Ask."

"What is our current relationship?"

Li Peifeng racked his brains, finally answering cautiously: "Boyfriend and girlfriend? Lovers? Father and daughter? Master and servant..."

"Big miss, huge misunderstanding!"

He Yimeng smirked: "Our current relationship is, and only is, a business transaction, a pure transactional one. So, even if Huang Tianxuan has feelings for you, my consultation with her isn’t considered unethical, you got it?"

"Mengmeng, how can you talk like that?!"

Li Peifeng’s expression fell, and he said with deep sorrow: "At this moment, I feel like singing ’Love is a Business’ to let you feel my inner sadness."

"Then find a cool place to sing it!"

He Yimeng gave a chuckle, turned, and went back into the garage...
