Unrestricted fighting enters the female-oriented genre

The sky was bright and clear, with rays of dawn shining everywhere.

After changing his clothes and washing up, He Qiang went downstairs looking refreshed.

In the lobby, Leng Yanran and Yi Chuhong were already chatting and laughing as they sat down at the table to have breakfast.

When she saw He Qiang come down, Leng Yanran turned her head to look at him, her eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth clearly curled up.

Her reaction was mainly due to He Qiang's casual attire today. He wasn't even wearing a jacket, just a white shirt and black trousers, with the shirt sleeves rolled up to his elbows, giving off a neat and efficient vibe.

He Qiang's hair was simply parted in a 3/7 ratio, with the 7/7 part hanging down to the corner of his eyes, almost covering them.

He actually prefers a buzz cut to this medium-length hair.

So he's currently thinking about whether he should take some time to get a haircut and completely change his image.

While drinking her porridge, Yi Chuhong stole glances at He Qiang. When their eyes met, her pretty face couldn't help but blush slightly, and her eyes held a hint of mischief.

Looking at her beautiful face, He Qiang couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation in his heart as he recalled the passion of last night.

This woman is so alluring, and the taste is so delicious; once you've had her, you can't forget her.

[Ding, a new day has begun. The system has issued a new task:]

The host's cooking skills have reached the beginner level, how can he not show them off?

New task requirements: Make a loving breakfast for your wife and personally feed her.

Task Reward: 1 Free Attribute Point, Cooking Skill upgraded from Beginner to Intermediate.

Does the host accept the mission?

Just as He Qiang was about to go to the table to eat, a mechanical notification sounded in his mind, indicating that the system had issued a new task.

His new task was to make a loving breakfast for Leng Yanran.

He Qiang frowned, knowing that this was just a system strategy to exploit Leng Yanran's luck through the plot.

But he was still somewhat reluctant to take on the task.

Firstly, asking him to make breakfast for Leng Yanran would make him seem too subservient, something he could never do.

Secondly, what kind of person does the system take him for? The reward is so small; is he someone who can be easily bribed?

He's a tough, hot-blooded man; if you want him to submit, well, you'll have to pay him extra!

[Task Reward: 3 Free Attribute Points, Cooking Skill upgraded from Beginner to Intermediate.]

[Intermediate cooking skills are equivalent to a professional chef. Aren't you tempted, host? As far as the system knows, your He Linghuang suffers from chronic gastritis and has long struggled to eat properly…]

The system saw through He Qiang's thoughts and not only increased the reward but also gave him a reason he couldn't refuse.

He glanced at the original plot and found that the system was right.

As the female president of the He Group, He Linghuang's long-term high-intensity work led to irregular eating habits and chronic gastritis.

That's why He Linghuang looks so frail.

He Qiang couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache whenever he thought of He Linghuang's pitiful and thin appearance.

Then he decisively accepted the system's new task. The attribute point reward was secondary; the main thing was that his cooking skills could be improved to intermediate level.

In that case, if there's a chance in the future, he can cook for He Linghuang properly and help her recover her health.

After accepting the mission, He Qiang looked up at Leng Yanran opposite him and found that the woman was indeed very beautiful, and every smile and frown was attractive.

Even so, he still found it difficult to develop any positive feelings towards her.

As for Yi Chuhong, she was also good-looking and very alluring, but she couldn't arouse his true feelings. He only used her as a pawn.

Ultimately, the image that always lingered in his heart was He Linghuang.

He really wanted to be with her as soon as possible.

He had no idea what kind of happiness he would have if he really married his sister.

Thinking about all this, he couldn't help but feel anxious. He wanted to divorce Leng Yanran immediately and then change his target to He Linghuang.

The problem now is that Leng Yanran doesn't want a divorce anymore. Every time he mentions divorce to her, she always makes various excuses to delay, or she pitifully apologizes and begs for forgiveness. In short, she refuses to divorce no matter what.

What should we do?

If Leng Yanran disagrees, He Qiang really can't handle this matter unilaterally.

Or should he follow her example and deliberately abuse her, give her the silent treatment, and force her to sign an agreement?

But if that's the case, what's the difference between him and her? Wouldn't that be too despicable?

It seems I should find some time to have a good talk with her and try to get her to part ways amicably and stop bothering me.

He could only imagine how difficult the conversation would be.

Sigh, let's take a long-term view and proceed slowly.

He Qiang sighed and sat down at the table to eat breakfast in a sullen mood.

He was in a bad mood, so he ignored everyone, kept his head down, and ate without saying a word.

"Ahem, He—um, honey, can I ask you for a favor?"

He Qiang didn't want to talk, but Leng Yanran kept trying to strike up a conversation with him.

At first, she instinctively wanted to call him by his name, but when she met Yi Chuhong's gaze, she suddenly changed her mind and started calling him "husband."

She seemed to be deliberately trying to show off her relationship in front of her best friend.

Yi Chuhong frowned slightly as she looked at Leng Yanran's smug expression. Then she glanced at He Qiang, a mischievous glint in her eyes.

Her expression clearly said: Your wife doesn't know that I've already hooked up with you, and she's still so smug!

He Qiang ignored her and continued eating with his head down.

"What is it? Tell me."

He Qiang glanced at Leng Yanran.

"Um, honey, I don't have any capable help around me right now. Do you think it's possible to let me have Amu, so she can bring two people with her to protect me?"

After Leng Yanran finished speaking, she unconsciously tightened her grip on her chopsticks and looked at He Qiang with a nervous expression.

He Qiang put down his chopsticks, took a tissue to wipe his mouth, and squinted at her.

This woman has quite a few tricks up her sleeve.

Is she worried that he and Amu might develop feelings for each other if they spend too much time together?

Then, not wanting to send Amu away, she simply kept him by her side and watched over him. In this way, He Qiang and Amu had no chance to continue their relationship.

Unfortunately, she miscalculated. Even if she kept Amu by her side, she couldn't stop He Qiang if he really had those kinds of thoughts.

However, He Qiang wasn't that promiscuous; he wouldn't be unable to resist a beautiful woman.

Upon closer examination, Leng Yanran bears the lion's share of the credit.

She's the main female lead in this book, and her looks are top-tier.

Having faced her stunningly beautiful, almost devastatingly gorgeous face every day, He Qiang had long since developed a degree of immunity to beautiful women.

So what he wanted to tell her was that she was overthinking things, and that he would never have anything happen between him and Amu.

The young woman was perfectly fine; she could have had a wonderful and fulfilling life, dated normally, gotten married, had children, and lived a stable and peaceful life. Why did he have to do something with her?

He's not the kind of male protagonist in a male-oriented harem novel who's a walking, talking sex machine, but he'll take any female, regardless of age or gender, into his harem.

Dude, you're a normal person, okay?

Even the things that happened between him and Yi Chuhong were just to collect interest and get back some of the debts she owed him.

Therefore, Leng Yanran was really overthinking it.

But he wasn't going to explain anything to her, because there was no need; she didn't deserve it!

"Amu can't give it to you."

He Qiang decisively rejected her request.

"Why, why?"

Upon hearing He Qiang's words, Leng Yanran immediately became somewhat dejected, and her expression clearly changed.

Yi Chuhong also looked at He Qiang with great interest, seemingly guessing about his relationship with Amu.

He Qiang put down the tissue and looked at Leng Yanran, saying, "Amu is quick-witted and I've already assigned her to be in charge of the newly established security company, so I can't give her to you. If you're really worried about her safety, you can have Ashu."

Hearing this, Leng Yanran could only nod helplessly and stammer, "Alright then, let's go with Ashu."

"Okay, that's settled then. I'll get back to work now."

He Qiang got up, picked up his car keys, and prepared to leave.

"husband--"

He Qiang had only taken a few steps when Leng Yanran called him back.

He turned to look at her, and asked with some displeasure, "Is there anything else?"

"Um, there's a business cocktail party tonight. Could you perhaps spare some time to attend? I... I need a male companion..."

Leng Yanran stood up and looked at He Qiang, her fingers nervously twisting together, revealing her unease.

Seeing her appearance, He Qiang couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Before this, the original owner had never had the opportunity to attend such a business party, let alone be qualified to be her male companion.

What's going on now?

She actually invited him to some kind of cocktail party and even asked him to be her date.

Has she really made a change?

But He Qiang wasn't as disrespectful as the original owner; he readily submitted to Leng Yanran with just a flick of her finger.

So he smiled and casually said, "We'll see. Send me the time and place, and I'll go if I'm free, otherwise it's fine."

After speaking, he didn't linger and went straight out the door.
