The Rich Second-Generation Villain With No Morals

Chapter 118

"Yes, yes, you’re my girlfriend, no doubt about that. But don’t you think you should take better care of yourself? Buy some nice clothes, maintain your skin, and keep yourself looking beautiful? You’re not going to compete with other women? You’re not going to preserve your beauty?"

"A woman’s looks will eventually fade. But if you take care of yourself now, you can still look youthful and radiant even in your forties or fifties."

Qi Lin spoke persuasively, coaxing her step by step.

He wanted Lan Yuxi to get used to a life of luxury.

Not only did he want her to become a mesmerizing enchantress, but also one that no man could ever reach—one that belonged to him alone, untouchable and unshakable.

"That makes sense. Since I’m already your girlfriend, it’s only natural to spend my boyfriend’s money."

"Hehe, from now on, you’ll be in charge of making money and supporting the family, while I’ll focus on being beautiful and making you proud."

Lan Yuxi had now fully embraced her darkened mindset, and her thoughts had shifted quickly.

Indeed, just as Qi Lin said—This scoundrel was a notorious womanizer. Who knew how many girls had fallen for him?

Not to mention, he was just as good-looking as she was.

If she didn’t take care of herself, dress in the prettiest outfits, and secure his heart, what if he got tired of her one day?

"Since you’re already my girlfriend, shouldn’t you change the way you address me?"

Qi Lin pinched her delicate cheek and smiled.

"What should I call you? Ah Lin? Little Lin?"

Lan Yuxi giggled.

"You have no manners—call me ‘husband.’"

Qi Lin deliberately put on a serious face.

Lan Yuxi’s cheeks flushed red with embarrassment.

Even though she seemed more cheerful and outgoing now, she was still an innocent girl. Qi Lin was her first boyfriend, after all.

How could she get used to this so quickly?

"No way, that’s way too mushy."

She turned her face away shyly.

"Not calling me that?"

"Let’s see how you handle this—tickle attack!"

Qi Lin grinned mischievously and used his ultimate weapon.

He grabbed Lan Yuxi’s soft, delicate feet and started tickling her soles.

"Ahhh~ Hehehe!"

Lan Yuxi was extremely ticklish. She laughed so hard her body trembled.

"Hu—husband~"

"I was wrong! I’ll say it, okay? Just let me go!"

Damn…

That sweet, youthful voice of hers was deadly.

But Qi Lin still wasn’t satisfied.

"Now say ‘Daddy.’"

He smirked and continued tickling her feet.

"Daddy~"

Lan Yuxi’s beautiful eyes shimmered as she bit her lip and locked eyes with Qi Lin, looking like a young girl in love.

Qi Lin’s heart stirred. Without hesitation, he scooped her up in a princess carry and kissed her again.

Meanwhile, Yan Yan was driving back to her company when she received a call from Li Zhou.

The general message was that Li Jiaming had returned.

That brat had been out for over half a year and was finally coming back, so they were hosting a welcome dinner for him.

He told Yan Yan to come home after meeting with her clients.

The Li family villa—

Or rather, it was more like a luxurious western-style house with its own private garden.

Compared to Qi Lin’s villa, it was grander and more extravagant.

Hospitals under the Putian medical group were indeed rich.

After returning home, Yan Yan sat at the lavish mahogany dining table, quietly eating with her head lowered, her beautiful eyes filled with guilt.

After all, this was the first time she had gone out to have fun with another man. She still wasn’t used to it.

Perhaps if Qi Lin lured her out a few more times, she wouldn’t feel so flustered anymore.

"Yan’er, did the negotiations with your clients fall through again?"

"Sigh, when I first brought you into the company, you were always like this. Even as the vice president now, you haven’t changed."

"Failing in business negotiations is normal. You don’t need to put so much pressure on yourself. I won’t blame you for it."

Li Zhou assumed that Yan Yan’s gloomy expression was due to business failures and thought she was afraid of disappointing him.

Hearing this, Yan Yan sighed in relief.

As long as he didn’t suspect she had gone out with another man, it was fine.

"Yes, their asking price was too high, so I couldn’t agree to it. Although their beauty equipment is of excellent quality, it’s just not feasible."

Yan Yan’s face turned slightly red.

This was the first time she had ever lied to Li Zhou.

"Alright, let’s not talk about business. Jiaming is back, and this is his welcome dinner. We should keep the atmosphere lighthearted."

Li Zhou smiled and raised his wine glass.

Li Jiaming grinned and said, "That’s right, Mom. Money is endless, but family and love are what really matter. I just hope the two of you live in harmony and grow old together."

If Qi Lin were here, he would’ve laughed himself to death at Li Jiaming’s words.

Grow old together?

Li Zhou already looked like an old man, while Yan Yan was still as radiant as a blooming flower.

At this rate, Li Zhou might kick the bucket in a few days.

After the three clinked their glasses, Li Jiaming suddenly noticed something odd.

"Mom, why do you look a little tanner than a few days ago? And your lips seem swollen. Are you sick? Your complexion looks different."

Hearing that, Yan Yan’s neck turned faintly pink.

How could her lips not be swollen?

Qi Lin had kissed her for more than ten minutes before letting go.

As for her skin, it wasn’t as fair as before because she had spent the entire morning at the amusement park under the sun.

But how could she possibly tell Li Jiaming and Li Zhou about that?

"I had a business lunch with a client earlier, and we had hotpot. My lips are probably swollen from the spice."

"As for my skin, I guess I just haven’t been getting enough rest lately."

Yan Yan forced herself to stay calm and made up an excuse.

Luckily, Li Jiaming didn’t overthink it. He just expressed his concern.

"Mom, don’t overwork yourself too much. Make sure to get some proper rest."

After being "bullied" by Qi Lin, Yan Yan’s lips looked glossy and moist, and there was a subtle glow between her delicate eyebrows. Her beauty was unparalleled.

Li Zhou couldn’t help but swallow as he looked at her.

A wife this stunning… of course, he wanted to enjoy her charms.

But the problem was—he had promised Yan Yan that he wouldn’t touch her until he regained his manhood.

Yet, fate seemed to be against him.

With age catching up and his body weakened from years of indulgence, he was growing weaker by the day.

Forget sleeping with Yan Yan—he could barely walk without assistance now.

"By the way, Yan’er, you mentioned that a young man risked his life to save you yesterday, right?"

"Such a great favor can’t go unappreciated. It would be rude not to invite him over for a meal to thank him properly. Why don’t you call him over for dinner tonight?"

Li Zhou suddenly smiled and suggested.

Yan Yan’s eyes lit up.

"I actually wanted to do that, but I wasn’t sure if you’d be okay with me bringing a stranger home. Since you’re fine with it, I’ll call him right away."

She stepped outside to make the call.

Once Yan Yan left, Li Jiaming’s face darkened.

"Dad, why did you ask Mom to invite that bastard Qi Lin over for dinner?"

"He’s my enemy! My love rival!"

Li Zhou remained calm and met his son’s gaze.

"Jiaming, have you forgotten what I’ve taught you since you were a child? A man must never let his emotions show."

"If you let your personal feelings control you, how can you ever handle big matters?"

"I invited Qi Lin over so you could observe his weaknesses. And so I can personally assess his strength."

"This is a test I’m setting for you. If you can defeat Qi Lin, then I can confidently hand over the company to you."

"Yan Yan is a good woman, but she’s an outsider. When I’m gone, the company won’t go to her. You, Li Jiaming, are my only son—my only bloodline. Do you understand?"

Li Jiaming’s expression changed.

Then he grinned and gave a thumbs-up.

"As expected, you’re still the master strategist, Dad. I know what to do now."

"Thank you, Dad. I’ll make sure to marry my wife soon so you can have a grandson as early as possible."

When Qi Lin heard that Yan Yan had invited him to her house for dinner, his first thought was that he had another chance to tease this stunning woman.

But Qi Lin was not someone who let beauty cloud his judgment.

"Sister Yan Yan, did you invite me, or did your family invite me?"

Qi Lin asked with a sly smile.

Yan Yan chuckled. "It was my husband. He’s very grateful that you saved me."

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something, and her beautiful face flushed slightly.

"Qi Lin, I’m begging you… When you come to my house later, please don’t mention that I… that I gave you artificial respiration. My husband is a very traditional man. If he finds out about this, it won’t just be trouble for me—it’ll be trouble for you too."

"Sister Yan Yan, what kind of person do you take me for? Do I seem like someone who would cause you trouble? Don’t worry, I’ll just sit down and eat quietly."

Although that’s what he said, a cunning glint flashed in Qi Lin’s dark eyes.

"A billionaire who built his fortune on a mountain of corpses and rivers of blood… Would an old fox like Li Zhou really invite me for dinner without an ulterior motive?"

"This is probably a Hongmen Banquet."

But as a true villain, how could Qi Lin be afraid of such trivial schemes?

"A Hongmen Banquet? I’d love to see who’s more skilled—your schemes or my power. Just don’t end up losing both your wives and mothers in the process."

…

"Xueyao, staying at home all the time isn’t good for you. You’ll suffocate sooner or later."

"I have good news—I managed to get my parents' retirement savings. It’s enough for us to buy a second-hand house in Jianghan City. That way, we can move in together, and you won’t have to suffer Qi Lin’s harassment anymore."

At noon, Jiang Lei called Qi Xueyao.

"Jiang Lei, we’re not even in a relationship. How can we live together?"

Qi Xueyao said helplessly.

Her innocence had already been taken by Qi Lin. Her relationship with him was tangled and unclear.

If she moved in with Jiang Lei now, how would she be any different from a promiscuous woman?

Every girl who fell into Qi Lin’s trap eventually faced the same dilemma—

They had all made promises to the male protagonist, but their first kisses and even their purity had already been taken by Qi Lin.

Because of this, they couldn’t bring themselves to let another man touch them.

They couldn’t overcome the psychological barrier, and they didn’t want to become unfaithful women.

As a result, they ended up preserving their chastity… for Qi Lin.

Hearing Qi Xueyao’s rejection, Jiang Lei looked awkward.

His grand plan had just crumbled.

"Xueyao, I misspoke earlier. The house is for you alone, and you can live in it for free."

"I’ll continue living in my rental place. This way, you won’t have to worry about Qi Lin bothering you anymore, right?"

Hearing this, Qi Xueyao hesitated.

Right now, Qi Lin’s mother was treating her very well, and she had already given herself to Qi Lin.

She felt like she wouldn’t be able to resist much longer.

She feared that one day, in a moment of weakness, she would truly accept being Qi Lin’s woman.

But she didn’t want that. She had someone she was supposed to be with in the future.

Besides, Qi Lin was always attracting other girls. She didn’t want to share her man with anyone else.

"Alright, then."

Qi Xueyao sighed.

If she could move out and get some breathing space, maybe she could figure out a way to deal with her current predicament.

Hearing her agreement, Jiang Lei’s face lit up with joy.

"Great! Xueyao, I’ll wait for you at Qingfeng Community, Building C."

…

After having lunch with Lan Yuxi, Qi Lin sent her home.

"Honey, aren’t you going to spend the afternoon with me?"

Their relationship was growing more intense, and Lan Yuxi wanted to be around him all the time.

"I have things to do in the afternoon, and you still haven’t done your weekend homework. Stay home and finish it."

"Are you going to do something bad again?"

"I don’t want to do my homework! I want to go with you!"

Lan Yuxi had completely fallen under Qi Lin’s influence.

Not only was she neglecting her homework, but she also wanted to follow Qi Lin and build an empire together.

But Qi Xueyao was at her most vulnerable right now.

She had already been taken by Qi Lin, so there was no need for any more tricks against her.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I like you because you’re the school belle, the top student, the dream girl of thousands of boys at school."

"If you become a failing student, be careful—I might abandon you."

"Even in college, you have to remain the goddess that thousands of guys admire in public, but in private, you’ll be my little plaything. That way, I’ll never get tired of you."

Qi Lin chuckled as he patted Lan Yuxi’s head.

"You’re so annoying! You just know how to talk sweet."

Lan Yuxi pouted and glared at Qi Lin, but she still obediently stayed home.

After parting with Lan Yuxi, Qi Lin drove straight to Qingfeng Community.

This was one of the first private residential complexes built in Jianghan City. It was quite old.

But the environment inside was decent, with lush greenery and a peaceful atmosphere.

Not that any of that mattered to Qi Lin.

He went straight to Building C, pulled out the key given to him by the system, and unlocked the door.

The moment he stepped in, a damp and musty smell filled the air.

The place had clearly been unoccupied for a long time, and the furniture inside was darkened with dust.

Qi Lin glanced around briefly before losing interest.

Instead, he walked up to the TV feature wall and knocked on it.

Feature walls weren’t load-bearing structures. Some were built later for decorative purposes.

And the one in this house was exactly that type.

Knock, knock, knock~

The sound was hollow—there was clearly something hidden inside.

"Looks like the system was right. The ten million in cash must be inside this wall."

Qi Lin smiled faintly and clenched his fist, preparing to smash it open.

At that moment, a heated argument erupted outside.

"What do you mean I can’t go in? I made an appointment to see this house two days ago!"

"You did, but the problem is that someone already bought this house yesterday. It’s private property now, and you have no right to enter."

"What? We had a deal! You said if I got the money together, the house would be mine! How can you just change your mind like this?"

"It’s not me changing my mind. That’s just how the world works. Whoever pays first gets the house. You didn’t put down a deposit, and we didn’t sign a contract. We have no obligation to hold it for you."

"I don’t care! I saw this house first! I’ve been waiting so long! Are you really telling me to start house-hunting all over again?"

Qi Lin immediately recognized the voice—it was Jiang Lei.

"So, he finally brought Qi Xueyao to see the house?"

"What a shame—you came too late. This house is mine now. And the ten million hidden in this wall? That has nothing to do with you anymore."

Qi Lin chuckled and stopped himself from smashing the wall just yet.

Instead, he walked over and opened the door.
