The Rich Second-Generation Villain With No Morals

Chapter 105

If Qi Lin knew that Qi Xueyao had been keeping herself pure for him, he would probably laugh himself silly.

A commoner’s house might allow the wind and rain to enter, but not a king.

Similarly, Qi Xueyao could let Qi Lin kiss and hug her, but her future legitimate boyfriend was off-limits. That was enough to make people burst into laughter.

At this moment, completely unaware of all this, Qi Lin was calling Lan Gang and Xia Sha.

"Uncle Lan, are you busy these days?"

"You brat, you had the guts to flirt with my daughter in front of all my colleagues at the police station. Do you really think I wouldn’t dare shoot you?" Lan Gang said, half amused and half exasperated.

"Shoot me if you want, but then Yuxi will be a widow. It’s her birthday today, and no one is there to celebrate with her or give her a gift," Qi Lin said lazily, chuckling.

"Today is Yuxi’s birthday?"

On the other end of the phone, Lan Gang was stunned for a moment.Hearing that Lan Gang had completely forgotten his daughter’s birthday, Qi Lin laughed. "Uncle Lan, you’re really an unqualified father. No wonder your precious daughter was so easily stolen by me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not cherishing her enough."

"You brat, you even dare mock me now?"

Lan Gang nearly laughed in frustration.

"So, you called just to remind me that it’s Yuxi’s birthday?"

Surprisingly, his anger had subsided quite a bit.

He, as her father, had forgotten her birthday, yet Qi Lin remembered. That at least proved Qi Lin truly cared about his daughter.

"Not exactly. I just wanted to inform you about my plan. I want to give Yuxi a surprise by pretending I forgot her birthday. So, I need you to play along. Don’t call her today, and ask Auntie not to call her either. Let her think that everyone has forgotten, and when she’s feeling down, we’ll give her the biggest surprise of her life."

Qi Lin grinned.

Lan Gang: "..."

Even he had to admit that Qi Lin had way too many tricks when it came to wooing girls.

No wonder Yuxi had stormed into the police station and staged a dramatic "rescue mission" for him.

"If I had half the skills this brat has, I wouldn’t have taken four or five years to win over Yuxi’s mother."

Lan Gang sighed inwardly.

"Oh, by the way, Uncle Lan, get off work early today. I already ordered a ten-tier cake for Yuxi. Make sure to sign for it when it arrives."

Qi Lin dropped another bombshell.

"You brat, do you have any idea how much money you’re wasting? If your parents knew how reckless you were with money, they’d probably die from anger."

Hearing Qi Lin’s extravagant move, Lan Gang sucked in a breath and scolded him.

"That’s not for you to worry about, Uncle Lan. I know how to spend money, but I also know how to make it. With me, Yuxi will live a life of luxury, guaranteed."

Qi Lin’s tone was lighthearted.

"Yeah, yeah, keep bragging."

Lan Gang rolled his eyes, already accustomed to Qi Lin’s bold claims.

He ended the call and instructed his assistant, "It’s my daughter’s birthday today. I’m leaving work early. If anything urgent comes up, call me."

"Understood, Captain."

After calling Lan Gang, Qi Lin dialed Xia Sha next.

"Auntie, what are you up to?"

Hearing his lazy tone, Xia Sha immediately knew he was up to something.

"It’s Friday night, so my restaurant is packed. I’m just making sure the staff prepares the ingredients early."

Her sweet voice came through the phone.

"You know today is Yuxi’s birthday, right?"

Qi Lin asked.

"Wow, you even remember Yuxi’s birthday? Looks like she picked the right guy."

Xia Sha was pleasantly surprised.

"Not only do I remember, but I also want to give her a surprise. So I need your help."

"What do you need me to do?"

"It’s simple. After school, pick her up, but pretend you don’t know it’s her birthday. Bring her to your restaurant and have her help out. Meanwhile, I’ll be setting up the surprise at home. When I text you that everything’s ready, you can bring her back."

Qi Lin explained his plan.

After hearing it, Xia Sha’s eyes sparkled.

"Qi Lin, you really know how to make girls happy. If it were me, I’d be crying with joy after being surprised like this."

"I honestly think that if you put your mind to it, no woman in the world could escape your grasp."

Qi Lin smiled smugly at the compliment. "Then how about you, Auntie? Would you fall for me?"

Xia Sha’s face turned red as she bit her lip and scolded him. "You brat, you dare flirt with your aunt? Be careful, or I’ll tell Yuxi’s parents and have them teach you a lesson."

"Hehe, I was just joking. Auntie, you’re so beautiful, just looking at you is a treat. I wouldn’t dare have any other thoughts."

Qi Lin was actually testing her.

What if she was the type who appeared proper on the surface but was secretly quite daring?

From her reaction, it seemed she wasn’t that type. Winning her over would be a long journey.

Now that all the key players were on board, Qi Lin set off for Lan Yuxi’s home, waiting for his "fish" to take the bait.

Senior Year, Class Six.

"Hate it, hate it, hate it!"

"So what if I’m pretty? So what if I’m the school beauty?"

"It’s my birthday, and no one even remembers!"

"Waaah~"

"That heartless jerk Qi Lin forgetting is one thing, but even my parents forgot?"

"And my aunt, my grandparents too!"

Lying on her desk, Lan Yuxi let big teardrops roll down her flawless cheeks. She looked utterly pitiful.

"He called himself the great villain, but as soon as he won me over, he disappeared."

"He didn’t even show up for class this afternoon… Is he off with some other girl?"

Thinking of that heartless man, Lan Yuxi cried even harder.

Ring! Ring!

The bell signaling the end of classes rang.

With Saturday and Sunday off, the students of Huashi First High School were filled with joy.

But Lan Yuxi, eyes red from crying, silently boarded the bus home.

Wang Cheng had been observing her closely.

When he saw that she had been crying, his heart leaped with excitement.

Qi Lin must have forgotten her birthday and didn’t show up in class, making her sad.

Wasn’t this the perfect chance for him to step in?

At the school gate, Wang Cheng blocked her path.

"Yuxi, listen to me—"

"Hey!"

"Brat, stay away from my Yuxi! Didn’t you get beaten enough last time? Do you need another lesson?"

He had forgotten that Xia Sha was waiting at the school entrance.

Seeing Wang Cheng, the same guy who had caused trouble at her restaurant, her face turned cold. She immediately shielded Lan Yuxi.

"Uh, Auntie, last time was a misunderstanding. I never meant any disrespect."

Wang Cheng forced a smile, trying to explain.

But the misunderstanding was too deep to clear up with a few words.

"Scram, scram! Who’s your auntie? Just seeing your face makes me sick."

"I’m taking Yuxi home now. Follow us, and I’ll call the police."

Glaring at him, Xia Sha pulled Lan Yuxi onto her scooter and secured her helmet.

His one chance to take advantage of the situation was ruined by Xia Sha.

Wang Cheng could only watch helplessly as Lan Yuxi left.

On the road.

Holding onto Xia Sha’s slim waist, Lan Yuxi felt a trace of excitement.

"Hehe, so someone does remember my birthday after all—Auntie Xia Sha!"

"No wonder she’s been my best friend since childhood. I love her so much!"

She rubbed her face affectionately against Xia Sha’s back.

"Auntie, where are we going? Are you giving me a surprise?"

She asked sweetly.

"Stop rubbing against me, you little troublemaker! It tickles."

Xia Sha sighed.

"Yep, a surprise alright. It’s Friday night, my restaurant is packed, and I need an extra pair of hands. So you’ll be working all night!"

She teased.

"Pfft!"

Lan Yuxi almost cried.

Seriously?!

The only person who picked her up from school wasn’t celebrating her birthday—she just wanted free labor!

"Waaah, why is my life so miserable?!"

Unable to hold it in any longer, she clung to Xia Sha’s back and wailed.

…

At Jianghan Restaurant, Lan Yuxi pouted as she buried herself in work.

Taking out the trash.

Wiping down tables.

Serving dishes.

Since no one remembered her birthday, what was the point of her existence in this world?

She might as well work herself to exhaustion.

There was no denying that an angry girl was irresistibly adorable.

At 8 PM, most of the customers had left.

"Yuxi, let's go. Auntie will take you home."

Xia Sha looked at Lan Yuxi’s puffed-up cheeks, her lips nearly pointing to the sky, as if she was silently announcing to everyone: I’m mad! Come coax me now!

The greater the disappointment, the greater the surprise.

Now that Lan Yuxi had reached her limit of disappointment, it was time for her to taste the sweetness of surprise.

"Waaah~"

On the way home, Lan Yuxi once again felt overwhelmed with sadness.

Not even her parents cared about her birthday.

That heartless Qi Lin had vanished as if he never existed.

She had even been dragged to work as free labor.

Could anything be worse than this?

All she wanted now was to collapse into bed and forget this miserable day.

"I’ll drop you off here, Yuxi. Go knock on the door yourself."

There was a surprise waiting inside. Of course, Xia Sha wouldn’t open the door for her.

Like a lost soul, Lan Yuxi absentmindedly took out her keys and unlocked the door.

Then she stepped inside.

"Click!"

That was the sound of the lights turning on.

"Huh?"

"What’s going on? I didn’t turn on the lights."

Lan Yuxi looked up in surprise.

The next second—

"Bang!"

The sound of party poppers bursting filled the air.

Colorful confetti rained down from above.

"Haha! Happy birthday, my darling daughter!"

"Happy birthday, Yuxi! May you stay eighteen forever!"

"Surprised? Did you expect this?"

"Haha, Yuxi baby, did we scare you?"

Before her stood several smiling faces.

Her father, Lan Gang.

Her mother, Zhou Lina.

Her grandfather and grandmother.

"You… you all…"

Lan Yuxi covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.

The little fool finally realized—

They hadn’t forgotten her birthday at all.

They had just been pretending to forget so they could surprise her at the last moment.

"You’re all terrible! You knew today was my birthday but pretended not to. You let me come home thinking no one cared, just to mess with me!"

Lan Yuxi’s eyes turned red—not just from the surprise, but also from amusement.

Suddenly remembering something, she turned and pulled in Xia Sha, who was standing outside the door, clutching her stomach from laughing too hard.

"And you’re the worst, Auntie! You made me work all day at your restaurant. My back and legs are sore now, do you know that?"

"If you don’t give me a gift I’m satisfied with today, you’re not leaving! The first person I’ll throw cake at will be you!"

"Alright, alright, you win. Here, this is Auntie’s gift for you. I hope you like it."

Xia Sha handed Lan Yuxi a small gift box.

Inside was an adorable women’s wallet.

Since they were both young women, Xia Sha and Lan Yuxi had similar tastes. Just one glance, and Yuxi fell in love with it.

"Muah! Auntie, I love you so much!"

Lan Yuxi kissed Xia Sha on the corner of her lips.

Xia Sha’s face immediately flushed as she wiped her mouth in mock annoyance. "Ew! Auntie doesn’t want your kiss! Kissing my cheek is fine, but why the corner of my lips? I don’t even have a boyfriend yet!"

Hearing that, Lan Yuxi’s own face turned red.

Qi Lin had kissed her lips countless times…

And now she had just kissed her aunt.

Did that mean Qi Lin and Auntie had indirectly kissed?!

Oh no, oh no! Lan Yuxi, what’s wrong with you? Why are you thinking such weird things?

Shaking her head, she quickly bounced over to ask her parents and grandparents for their gifts.

But then, she saw the towering ten-tier cake and gasped, covering her mouth in shock.

"Oh my god! This cake is enormous! Who went all out like this? Who gave me such a big surprise?"

Hearing her question, Lan Gang and Xia Sha struggled to hold in their laughter.

"Open your gifts first. You’ll find out about the cake later."

"Ugh, why so secretive?"

Lan Yuxi pouted.

Yet, her beautiful eyes flickered with disappointment.

Her parents, grandparents, and aunt were all here.

But her heart still felt empty.

Something… someone important was missing.

"Qi Lin… Where is Qi Lin? Did he really forget my birthday?"

Lan Yuxi’s heart ached slightly.

"This is the gift from your parents and grandparents, Yuxi. Open it and see."

Lan Gang stepped aside, revealing an enormous gift box.

"Wow!"

Lan Yuxi covered her mouth in shock.

"This… this gift is huge! What did you all get me? Is it a motorcycle?"

She had always wanted a motorcycle, but Lan Gang had forbidden it, afraid she’d get into an accident.

"You’ll have to open it to find out."

Lan Gang coughed.

Brat, you’ve really outdone yourself. Giving yourself as a gift? Let’s see if Yuxi gets scared to death.

"Hehe, Dad, your face already gave it away!"

"You always say you won’t buy me one because you’re worried about my safety, but in reality, you just wanted to surprise me, didn’t you?"

"I knew it! Qi Lin has been driving since he was 17, so why can’t I ride a little scooter?"

Lan Yuxi giggled and eagerly unwrapped the gift.

She pulled off the bow, then opened the box.

"Rustle!"

The moment she opened it, before she could even react—

A silhouette shot out from inside!

And what shocked her even more—

"Mmm~"

That silhouette grabbed her and kissed her.

Lan Yuxi was frozen, her mind going blank.

Just as she was about to push the person away, she realized…

That familiar face belonged to none other than Qi Lin, the one she both loved and hated.

"Mmm~"

Realizing this, her face turned bright red, her body weakened, and she fell into Qi Lin’s arms.

"Wow!"

Xia Sha covered her mouth, staring in disbelief.

This brat Qi Lin was way too bold!

He actually dared to kiss Lan Yuxi in front of her parents!

Lan Gang’s face darkened instantly.

Because kissing wasn’t part of their original agreement!

Lan Yuxi’s mother, Zhou Lina, turned furious on the spot.

"This brat! He’s completely ignoring our presence!"

"Lan Gang, are you just going to stand there? Pull them apart right now!"

Fuming, she pushed her husband forward.
