Volume One, Chapter Two: May I Call You Father?
Received! Received!
Damn system didn’t even tell me where it was sending me. Could it be the school dormitory? No, it wasn’t. Is this damn system lying to me?
Looking again at the five million painstakingly earned, Liu Dong cursed the original novel’s Liu Dong once more. Squandering a fortune of several hundred million in just a few months—anyone would be furious!
The sun was shining brightly today. Liu Dong planned to visit the campus security office to pay his respects to Ye Aotian.
It never hurts to get on the protagonist’s good side. After returning to China, this guy had been undercover as a security guard at Huaxia University, all for the sake of getting close to Tang Yufei, a senior, and Su Jinyao, a freshman.
The reason for approaching Tang Yufei was simple: Jinghai is the capital of Huaxia, and the Tang Group is one of the leading enterprises there. His return aimed to control Jinghai’s economy and thus expand his organization’s influence in the country.
As for Su Jinyao, she is not only the only daughter of the Su Group but also the biological daughter of Ye Aotian’s birth mother. The two had been switched at birth, which led to Ye Aotian’s upbringing in an orphanage.
After discovering the truth, he harbored deep hatred for his mother and Su Jinyao, returning with the intention to strike back and seek revenge.
From now on, he vowed never to have any dealings with them.
With these thoughts, Liu Dong reached the school gate. Just as he was about to enter the security office, a mature female voice called out to him.
Hesitating for a moment, Liu Dong still approached, because beside the lady stood a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Isn’t that Su Jing, the chairwoman of the Su Group? Liu Dong instantly regretted it—speaking of the devil, here she was.
She wore a custom-made dark gray business suit, her hair neatly pinned into a bun. The shirt underneath seemed a bit tight, and a few stray strands around her neck added a playful yet charming touch.
At least a 95 out of 100.
“What are you staring at?” Su Jing seemed accustomed to such looks and showed no anger.
“Is there something you need, ma’am? I’m just a penniless nobody right now.”
“I know you’re poor, so I came to give you some money.”
“Huh? Is that for real?” Liu Dong was puzzled.
“...”
After listening for a while, Liu Dong understood: Su Jing wanted him to be Su Jinyao’s sycophant. After all, Liu Dong was indeed handsome and had plenty of experience playing the lapdog.
“I refuse.”
Without much hesitation, Liu Dong declined. Although the system suggested there would be rewards for flattering Su Jinyao, he was already prepared to live as a lowly sycophant.
“Ten thousand.”
“One hundred thousand.”
“Madam, who do you take me, Liu Dong, for?”
“I mean a hundred thousand per day.”
“Deal! Madam, you sure know how to pick people!”
Having flattered Tang Yufei for two years, the system only rewarded him with five million. Not making money when you can is foolish!
“My daughter has a peculiar personality. No matter what she does to you, you must obey her completely and pursue her relentlessly!”
“Don’t worry, ma’am, I’m a professional at being a lapdog!”
Seeing Liu Dong happily step out of Su Jing’s car, Ye Aotian in the security office ground his teeth in anger.
“Liu Dong! I swear I’ll kill you!”
“Master, don’t be angry. Your calf is bleeding again.”
Beside Ye Aotian stood a young woman in a security guard uniform—Yuer, Ye Aotian’s personal bodyguard.
“Shut up. Did I tell you to speak?”
“Yes, master.”
The female dormitory at Huaxia University was buzzing.
Because Liu Dong was standing below, dressed in a white suit and holding a bouquet of flowers.
“Wow, isn’t that the campus heartthrob Liu Dong? He’s really handsome!”
“What’s he doing? Is he going to confess?”
“...”
Inside Tang Yufei’s dorm room:
“Yufei, Yufei! Liu Dong is confessing to you again, and he’s holding flowers!”
“That scoundrel of a lapdog—I’m not going to pay him any attention!”
Though she said that, a trace of hope lingered in Tang Yufei’s heart. She had grown accustomed to his care and concern, to his meticulous attentions, to his presence...
Since that day, he had vanished completely from her world, leaving an immense void inside her.
Could it be that he gave up chasing her because his family had gone bankrupt?
All sorts of emotions surged within her, making Tang Yufei’s feelings toward Liu Dong more complicated. Could it be love?
Suddenly, Liu Dong’s voice rang out from below again.
“Today, I stand here waiting for a beautiful and lovely girl. The moment I first caught a glimpse of your eyes in the crowd, my world seemed enchanted, instantly frozen in time...”
“Wow, how romantic! His words are so touching!”
“Yeah, especially coming from such a handsome guy.”
“...”
Amidst the voices of envy and admiration, Tang Yufei’s vanity was deeply satisfied.
“I have lingered beneath this building for a long time, every step filled with my overwhelming love for you. The night breeze gently blows, but it cannot disperse my longing for you; instead, it only intensifies it. In the starry dreams of the night, there is only you, only you...”
Hearing this, Tang Yufei shyly covered her face with her pillow. The words, which had once sounded disgusting, now made her heart flutter.
Unable to resist any longer, amid the crowd’s cheers and screams, Tang Yufei slowly descended the stairs.
Cheers, screams, applause—all filled the air.
She looked at Liu Dong standing among the crowd. He looked especially handsome today. The white suit, which usually looked tacky on others, fit him perfectly and highlighted his sunny smile.
“...This love has penetrated my very bones and merged with my blood. I am willing to offer my heart to you; as long as you accept it, it will forever belong to you... Su Jinyao!”
Tang Yufei, standing before Liu Dong, was stunned.
She had already decided to forgive him, ready to be with him sincerely, but the person he declared his deep love for wasI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
