The Rich Second-Generation Villain With No Morals

Chapter 106

The atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit awkward.

Qi Lin had completely changed the mood of what was supposed to be a proper birthday celebration.

Zhou Lina kept glaring at him.

She had heard from her husband that Qi Lin was a rich second-generation heir, the type who ranked at the bottom in academics.

Even though he had helped Jianghan City’s police department catch a criminal, in Zhou Lina’s eyes, he was nothing like the obedient, studious, and promising young men she admired.

If it weren’t for her husband holding her back, she would have kicked Qi Lin out long ago.

Her daughter was only eighteen! The most precious time of her life! And this brat had stolen her first kiss right in front of them!

If Zhou Lina knew that Qi Lin had already kissed her daughter countless times, she might have passed out from anger.

"You’re completely disregarding our family! I might have turned a blind eye to your feelings for each other, but that doesn’t mean I approved of early romance!""I’ve made it clear—you can only date after getting into college!"

With his wife sitting next to him, Lan Gang didn’t dare repeat his earlier stance.

The one where he had allowed Qi Lin to date Lan Yuxi, hold hands, kiss, but not cross the final line.

"Drink three glasses as punishment and apologize to me and your auntie."

Lan Gang gave Qi Lin a knowing glance, signaling him to just go along with it, drink up, and avoid making Zhou Lina even angrier.

Qi Lin found it amusing.

The mighty Captain of the Criminal Investigation Division turned out to be completely henpecked at home.

Wasn’t it embarrassing?

Why couldn’t he be like Qi Lin—bold and confident?

"Auntie, I was wrong earlier. I didn’t consider your feelings when I kissed Yuxi, and I made you uncomfortable. I promise that next time, I won’t do it in front of you. I’ll find a place where no one can see before I kiss her again."

Qi Lin poured himself three glasses of liquor and downed them in one go.

At first, Zhou Lina’s expression softened slightly.

But when she heard his last sentence, she almost fainted from anger.

What did he mean by not kissing in front of her but doing it in secret?

Was this brat deliberately trying to infuriate her?!

"Mom, Qi Lin just talks like that. He doesn’t mean anything bad. It’s my birthday today. Can you not scold him?"

Seeing Zhou Lina reprimand Qi Lin, Lan Yuxi looked at her with pleading eyes.

How could Zhou Lina not understand the meaning behind that gaze?

Sigh… The rain will fall, and daughters will eventually marry…

This girl has truly grown up. She has someone she likes now. She’s no longer my obedient little princess.

Zhou Lina sighed helplessly and shook her head.

The rest of the birthday celebration didn’t need much elaboration.

They sang the birthday song.

Made a wish.

Blew out the candles.

Then cut the cake.

After everything was over, Lan Yuxi’s phone suddenly rang.

"Mom, my classmates want to celebrate with me too. They’re already waiting for me at the KTV."

Lan Yuxi’s cheeks flushed as she looked at Zhou Lina.

If this had been any other year, Zhou Lina would have agreed without hesitation.

But after what happened earlier—Qi Lin kissing Lan Yuxi in front of them—she was now extra wary of him.

"No. Your birthday was celebrated at home, and that’s enough. It’s already late. You’re not going anywhere."

Zhou Lina’s tone was firm.

"Mom~"

Lan Yuxi’s eyes turned red, looking like she was about to cry.

Lan Gang knew how important a teenager’s reputation was.

If all of Lan Yuxi’s classmates had gathered to celebrate her birthday, but she didn’t show up, how would she face them in class the next day?

"Lina, Yuxi is already eighteen. She deserves her own space. Besides, the entire class is there, and as long as she comes back before 11 PM, what’s the harm in letting her go?"

Lan Gang persuaded her.

Zhou Lina wasn’t an unreasonable person.

She glanced at Qi Lin before warning him coldly.

"Your name is Qi Lin, right? Let me make this clear—dating should wait until college. For now, keep those feelings hidden and don’t act on them."

"Tonight, I’m leaving Yuxi in your care. You must bring her back before 11 PM. If she loses so much as a single hair, I’ll have her father throw you into prison!"

Inside Qi Lin’s Mercedes, Lan Yuxi burst into laughter.

"Serves you right for kissing me at home! Now my mom is convinced you’re a pervert."

She suddenly remembered something, and her beautiful eyes narrowed in suspicion.

"You’re really sneaky! You told Siling to call me, pretending to invite me out, just to trick my parents into letting me leave, didn’t you?"

She turned to glare at Qi Lin with her flushed cheeks.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want to do to me?"

"Nothing! Just going to KTV to sing with you. I swear!"

Qi Lin looked innocent. But his hand discreetly checked his pocket, making sure he hadn’t lost his protective gear.

Lan Yuxi pouted. "Everyone else gave me gifts today, except for you, you big jerk."

Qi Lin chuckled. "Who said I didn’t? Wasn’t that cake and the gift box from me?"

Lan Yuxi blinked in amusement.

"A cake? You’re counting that as a gift? And you? As a gift? Who gifts themselves?!"

While they were talking, they arrived at the KTV.

Qi Lin pulled Lan Yuxi inside a private room he had booked in advance.

The room had been specially decorated.

Beautiful streamers.

Balloons filling the space.

"Happy Birthday" written across the walls.

Clearly, it had been arranged just for Lan Yuxi.

She had thought her house was the main venue for her birthday.

But now, seeing this, she covered her mouth in shock, her eyes filled with joy.

"Ta-da!"

Qi Lin walked up behind her, wrapping his arms around her slender waist and whispered in her ear, breathing in her sweet scent.

"Guess what this is?"

Like a magician, he pulled out a phone and an MP3 player.

At that moment, Lan Yuxi couldn’t hold back her emotions anymore.

Her eyes turned red, and tears started rolling down her cheeks.

"You… you terrible jerk! You totally remembered my birthday! You just pretended to forget so you could surprise me later, didn’t you?!"

What girl could resist this kind of surprise?

At this moment, Lan Yuxi’s heart melted.

Her teary eyes locked onto Qi Lin’s gaze.

"Do you like what I did for you?"

Qi Lin’s voice was deep and alluring.

"Y-yes… I like it…"

Lan Yuxi bit her lip, her cheeks still damp with tears, looking stunningly beautiful.

"Today is such a special day, and I’ve prepared so many surprises for you… How are you going to thank me?"

Qi Lin whispered in her ear.

I knew it! I knew this jerk was up to something!

Lan Yuxi blushed hard, already knowing what he wanted.

He went through so much trouble to get her away from home—wasn’t it obvious what he wanted?

"Then… what do you want?"

Lan Yuxi bravely met his gaze.

"I want you. Is that okay?"

Qi Lin grinned.

Lan Yuxi’s eyes flickered with both shyness and mischief.

"Alright."

She actually agreed.

"Really?! Then don’t blame me for being rude!"

Qi Lin lifted her into his arms.

Tonight, the entire KTV had been booked—no one else would be there.

But—

"Not yet! If you want my first time, you have to do something first."

Lan Yuxi wrapped her arms around Qi Lin’s neck, smiling mischievously.

"What is it?"

Qi Lin paused.

Why did this feel like he was a groom getting tested on his wedding night?

"Drink with me. I’m a little scared. Maybe if I get drunk, I won’t be afraid anymore."

Lan Yuxi looked hesitant.

"That’s all? Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

"You’re right—this atmosphere feels off without some wine."

Qi Lin set her down, then went to grab a selection of drinks.

Brandy, XO, Bordeaux red wine—he had everything.

"Let’s start now!"

"Let’s do a cross-cup toast first!"

Lan Yuxi’s eyes gleamed with mischief as she handed Qi Lin a glass of wine.

"A cross-cup toast? I like it."

"Yuxi, you really know how to have fun."

Qi Lin grinned, clinking his glass with hers.

As the wine slid down her throat, Lan Yuxi’s face turned redder, more stunning than ever.

"I’m not done yet! Let’s drink more!"

She licked her lips, looking eager.

"Alright! I didn't expect you to be able to drink, Yuxi. Let's drink to our heart's content tonight!"

Qi Lin was in a great mood today.

The first female lead was about to be his, so why not drink a little more?

Inside the private booth, just the two of them, Qi Lin and Lan Yuxi clinked glasses again and again, drinking with enthusiasm.

An hour later.

"Whew~"

"Yuxi, I... I really can't drink anymore. Let's just go straight to the bridal chamber."

Qi Lin collapsed onto the sofa, completely unconscious.

What was surprising was that they had downed seven or eight bottles of foreign liquor, yet while Qi Lin was completely knocked out, Lan Yuxi only had a slight blush on her delicate face and was still sitting properly.

"Pfft~"

Seeing Qi Lin drunk and sprawled out like a crab, she couldn't hold back her laughter anymore. Her stunning face bloomed like a peach blossom.

She reached out her slender jade-like finger and tapped Qi Lin’s forehead. "You little fool, with this little drinking capacity, you still wanted to get me drunk? Do you think you can outdrink me?"

What Qi Lin didn't know was that Lan Yuxi was born with a special constitution—completely immune to alcohol.

She rarely drank, but she was one of those legendary people who could never get drunk, no matter how much they drank.

Qi Lin thought that Lan Gang had simply trusted him too much and handed Lan Yuxi over to him.

Little did he know that Lan Gang was well aware of his daughter’s incredible alcohol tolerance. Qi Lin trying to get Lan Yuxi drunk and then take advantage of her was nothing but a pipe dream.

Covering her mouth as she chuckled, Lan Yuxi took out Qi Lin’s phone and dialed his home landline.

"Hello?"

The one who answered was Qi Xueyao.

"And who are you?"

Hearing a pleasant female voice on the other end, Lan Yuxi immediately became alert, a hint of jealousy in her tone.

"I'm Qi Lin’s cousin, Qi Xueyao. May I ask who you are? And why do you have Qi Lin’s phone?"

Hearing the other person’s melodious voice, Qi Xueyao rolled her eyes. She already guessed that this was one of the girls Qi Lin had charmed outside.

She had no choice but to state her identity to dispel the girl's suspicion.

"Sister Xueyao, hello. I'm Qi Lin’s classmate. He got drunk at KTV, and I didn’t know what to do, so I called this number."

Hearing that the caller was Qi Lin’s cousin, Lan Yuxi sighed in relief.

But she didn’t know that Qi Xueyao shared a similar fate with her—except hers was even worse.

"Where are you? I'll come pick him up."

Qi Xueyao rolled her eyes again.

This bastard got himself drunk outside and now she had to go through the trouble of picking him up. Why couldn't he just drink himself to death out there?

Lan Yuxi told Qi Xueyao the location of the KTV.

About ten minutes later.

Qi Xueyao arrived by taxi.

As soon as she stepped into the private booth, she noticed the streamers, balloons, and the "Happy Birthday" decorations.

Then, she glanced at the table filled with empty bottles and Qi Lin, reeking of alcohol.

Seeing all this, Qi Xueyao couldn’t help but laugh.

"This idiot Qi Lin finally had a misstep? It’s obvious he was trying to take advantage of the birthday girl by getting her drunk, only to end up drinking himself under the table instead."

Qi Xueyao then sized up Lan Yuxi.

Lan Yuxi had flawless, jade-like skin and delicate, well-defined features—a classic beauty.

"I have to admit, Qi Lin has good taste. Every girl he gets involved with is a stunner."

"Good thing this girl can hold her liquor, or she would've been taken advantage of tonight."

Shaking her head, Qi Xueyao turned to Lan Yuxi. "Little sister, you can head home now. Leave this fool to me."

Lan Yuxi wasn't fully ready to entrust herself to Qi Lin yet. Feeling a little embarrassed, she glanced at Qi Xueyao before nodding. "Then I'll leave him to you, Sister Xueyao."

With that, Lan Yuxi picked up her bag and left the booth.

"What a troublemaker."

Looking at Qi Lin, who was sprawled on the sofa, reeking of alcohol, Qi Xueyao glared at him with her beautiful eyes.

But she still bent down, lifted him up, and dragged him outside to hail a taxi home.

"Hmm?"

Qi Lin’s alcohol tolerance wasn’t as good as Lan Yuxi’s—after all, she had an unfair advantage.

But in his previous life, he had been the king of nightlife.

Even though he was completely drunk, he still had some basic awareness left.

A woman was holding him.

And she smelled really nice.

In his hazy state, he mistook Qi Xueyao for Lan Yuxi.

He suddenly flipped over and pounced on her.

"Ah!"

A sharp scream echoed—Qi Xueyao's.

The next morning at five.

"Ugh!"

Qi Lin's head throbbed as he woke up and reached for some water.

But then—

"Sh*t!"

When he saw the "plum blossom" marks on the sheets, he was completely dumbfounded.

"Heh, looks like I really did conquer my first female lead. In this life, I, Qi Lin, have finally gone from a boy to a man."

Smirking smugly, Qi Lin looked around for Lan Yuxi.

But strangely, the booth was empty—Lan Yuxi was nowhere to be seen.

Scratching his head in confusion, he muttered, "Damn, she’s got some guts. After everything that happened, she still managed to go home alone?"

But then, Qi Lin figured it out. "She must be afraid that her parents would worry if they found out. Poor girl."

A bit of sympathy stirred in Qi Lin’s heart.

He was a villain, but he wasn’t heartless.

Now that Lan Yuxi was his woman, of course, he had to take care of her.

"Alright then, I'll find some time tomorrow to visit her house and bring her some nourishing chicken soup."

Shaking his head, Qi Lin took out a few notebooks from his system space.

Today was Saturday, no classes.

It was also the opening day of the first-ever Lobster Food Festival in China.

Qi Lin wasn’t just attending as the chief supervisor; he also needed to check the diaries of a few female leads and keep an eye on what the male leads were up to.

If there was any major opportunity involved, he had to step in and snatch it.

He decided to start with Lan Yuxi’s diary.

After all, she was already his woman and had now been promoted to "main wife." Who else would he read first?

Of course, this "main wife" status wasn’t fixed and could change at any time.

[Year, Month, Day.]

[Yesterday was my birthday. I drank alcohol and came home late, so my mom scolded me terribly.]

[Even though today is the opening day of Qi Lin’s Lobster Food Festival, my mom refused to let me go out.]

[Waaah, this is so unfair! Those little lobsters looked so delicious, but I can't have any!]

[I wanted to help Qi Lin, but there's nothing I can do.]

Reading this, Qi Lin chuckled.

“Yuxi, you're struggling to even walk, and you still want to run around? If you want to eat lobster, I’ll bring you some tonight. Just listen to your mother and rest at home.”

Lan Yuxi’s diary entry wasn’t over yet, so Qi Lin continued reading.

[This morning, a strange uncle came by.]

[He said my dad helped him catch a scammer years ago, so he brought over some local specialties as a thank-you gift.]

[I didn’t really want to accept them, but he was so insistent. Besides, it was just some dried sweet potatoes, so I took them.]

[Oh my god, at night, some people claiming to be from the disciplinary inspection department came and accused my dad of accepting bribes...]
