Peerless Cupid System

This backfired, making the atmosphere even more awkward.

Ling Ziqian didn't know what to say, so he could only drink water.

Dou Xiaorong smiled and pulled Su Mingxi aside to whisper something to her.

Not long after, Yu Meiren arrived on a motorcycle, accompanied by Cupid.

Yu Meiren was dressed casually. She was tall and beautiful, and looked like a career woman.

Cupid-chan has a full head of long, glossy black hair that almost reaches the ground, and her small face is incredibly delicate, like a beautiful girl who stepped out of a manga.

When Su Mingxi first saw the two, she almost forgot to breathe; they were unbelievably beautiful.

Dou Xiaorong helped introduce them; one was Ling Ziqian's mother, and the other was Ling Ziqian's sister.

The mother and daughter were as beautiful as flower buds, while Ling Ziqian, as a member of the family, had a plain face that could almost be described as ugly.

Seeing Su Mingxi's questioning look, Ling Ziqian explained speechlessly, "Don't find it strange, I was adopted."

"What nonsense are you talking about? If you dare to say you were adopted again, I'll put you in the oven!" Yu Meiren gave Ling Ziqian a flick on the forehead.

"If it were your own son, would you put him in the oven?" Ling Ziqian retorted dejectedly.

"You idiot." Yu Meiren patted Ling Ziqian's head.

"Hehe!" Cupid teased Ling Ziqian.

Seeing this warm and loving family of three, Su Mingxi felt a huge sense of loss when she compared it to her own family of three.

“I already know what happened.” Yu Meiren looked at Su Mingxi. “This kid asked me for 100,000 yuan to help your family pay off their debts. Do you accept his actions?”

"Yes." Su Mingxi nodded somewhat awkwardly, "I will definitely pay you back as soon as possible!"

Yu Meiren laughed, "Your family shouldn't have any other debts, right? If you do, we'll settle them all at once!"

Su Mingxi was taken aback, not expecting Yu Meiren to be so straightforward.

She quickly shook her head, "No, our family has always been paying off debts, and this is the only debt we have left."

Yu Meiren took out a bank card from her pocket and handed it to Ling Ziqian. "Come back for dinner as soon as you're done. There's still soup simmering at home."

After saying that, Yu Meiren nimbly and neatly got into the car.

Cupid jumped into the car, hugged Yu Meiren's waist, and muttered to Ling Ziqian, "Little brother, I'll settle the score with you when we get back!"

"What are you trying to settle? Didn't I just apologize?" Ling Ziqian asked, bewildered.

"Hmph, that wasn't what happened just now!"

Ling Ziqian wanted to ask more questions, but Yu Meiren rode away on her bicycle.

Huan Yue reminded Ling Ziqian, "I guess Cupid is angry because you touched her head earlier."

Ling Ziqian rolled his eyes. "That guy is way too vengeful!"

Having received the bank card containing 100,000 yuan, Ling Ziqian smiled at the two men and walked into the house.

Ling Ziqian walked up to the bald man, Liu Qiang, and showed him his bank card. "I've received the money. Did you sign any documents? Show them to me."

Liu Qiang hadn't expected this high school student to be so cheerful.

He was indeed short of money. He stood up and beckoned to Ling Ziqian, "Come with me!"

As he reached the door, he looked at Mr. Su inside the house and said, "Old Su, you're really pathetic. You actually asked a high school student to pay off your debts. It's ridiculous!"

He made a sarcastic remark, then laughed heartily, pulled Ling Ziqian along, and said he liked young people like him, suggesting they have a couple of drinks later.

Su Mingxi and Dou Xiaorong didn't dare to go with them to get the mortgage certificate.

Inside the house, the weeping parents made Su Mingxi extremely embarrassed, so she pulled Dou Xiaorong upstairs.

"Mingxi." Su's father called out to Su Mingxi, wiping his eyes with his sleeve. "It was my fault. I want to apologize to you. When I was sick, I burdened you. I won't do anything as foolish as I did today. I will work hard to earn money so that you can live a good life!"

Although I felt some resentment towards my father, he was still my father after all.

Hearing him say those words, Su Mingxi felt like crying, so she turned around and went downstairs.

Dou Xiaorong felt a little embarrassed. She quickly went upstairs without disturbing the family of three's conversation.

Going up to the second floor, Dou Xiaorong stood at the window and looked out. Ling Ziqian had followed the bald man, and she was worried that Ling Ziqian might be in danger.

After waiting for a while, Su Mingxi came up.

She playfully hugged Dou Xiaorong.

It's clear she's become much more cheerful.

"When you go back with him later, please thank him for me." The "him" Su Mingxi was referring to was naturally Ling Ziqian.

"Tell me yourself," Dou Xiaorong said, looking at Su Mingxi with a puzzled expression.

Su Mingxi smiled and shook her head, "He has helped me so much these past few days, I'm almost embarrassed to say thank you."

"You won't even say thank you, so what are you going to do?" Dou Xiaorong looked at Su Mingxi curiously. "You're not going to offer yourself to me, are you?"

"What?!" Su Mingxi blushed immediately. "Don't tease me with your man!"

Dou Xiaorong immediately giggled.

"He invited me to work at the cake shop, and I've decided. I'll work hard!" Su Mingxi said with great enthusiasm.

"Really? That's wonderful! I'll definitely go to the cake shop often from now on!"

Su Mingxi was a little surprised, "Don't you go to the cake shop often?"

Dou Xiaorong gave an embarrassed smile, "I used to go there often when I was little, but Sister Meiren was too enthusiastic and always gave me cake, which is why I turned out to be the chubby, fair-skinned person I am now."

Su Mingxi was both amused and exasperated. "Was that Sister Beauty just now? She's so beautiful, I feel so inferior. Is she really Ling Ziqian's mother?"

"Hehe, let me tell you..."

Chapter 48 Courage is something you have to rely on yourself!

Ling Ziqian was not harassed by the bald man.

After successfully obtaining the mortgage certificate, Mr. Su did not want it.

He told Ling Ziqian to keep it, and that they could exchange it back from Ling Ziqian when they had the money.

Su Mingxi felt the same way, after all, the 100,000 yuan was paid by Ling Ziqian.

Ling Ziqian didn't dwell on it; he figured he might as well keep it.

It was getting late, so he and Dou Xiaorong went home together.

On the way, Dou Xiaorong smiled happily, "Mingxi asked me to tell you that she thanks you, and then she will go to work at the cake shop."

Ling Ziqian nodded, feeling happy as well.

"Hey, I feel like you've changed a lot today." Dou Xiaorong looked at Ling Ziqian.

"Really?" Ling Ziqian naturally knew what was going on, because Cupid had given him courage.

"Of course, you were so bold today, hehe..." Dou Xiaorong blushed and chuckled as she recalled what happened that afternoon.

Ling Ziqian chuckled and tapped Dou Xiaorong on the head. "It's all because you were so anxious. No matter what happened, you have to talk to me properly. Honestly, it's one thing to have a misunderstanding, but you even ended up in the hospital."

I like you so much, that's why I got sick from being so angry!

Dou Xiaorong shouted this sentence in her heart, but she didn't say anything, just covered her head and giggled.

"Don't be so silly in the future."

"I'm not stupid!"

"Aren't you stupid yet, you idiot!"

"I'm an idiot, and you're a complete idiot!"

"You dare insult me? You'll regret it!"

"what……"

Dou Xiaorong screamed and ran forward.

Ling Ziqian quickly caught up and grabbed her hand, saying, "Silly girl, don't run around at night, it's too dangerous."

"Mmm." With Ling Ziqian holding her hand, Dou Xiaorong immediately calmed down.

She lowered her head, her face flushed, her heart pounding as if it were about to burst out of her chest, throbbing wildly like a deer.

Is this what it feels like to be in love?

Dou Xiaorong wanted to raise her head, but she was too embarrassed to do so.

All she could do was hold Ling Ziqian's hand tightly, feeling his presence through his fingers.

"Why are you holding on so tightly? Are you afraid of losing it?" Ling Ziqian chuckled.

"Hmm." Dou Xiaorong looked down at the road, her whole body dazed.

Ling Ziqian didn't say much; he was also a little nervous.

Thinking of taking Dou Xiaorong's hand, he ended up taking it.

After a moment of silence, Ling Ziqian stopped walking.

Dou Xiaorong was about to ask why they had stopped when she looked up and realized they had already reached the entrance of the residential area.

How did you get back in such a short time!

She was extremely surprised and filled with reluctance.

"Eat well later, and then have a good sleep, okay?" Ling Ziqian released Dou Xiaorong's hand and instructed her.

"Okay, I got it!" Dou Xiaorong waved reluctantly, turned around, and slowly entered the residential area.

She glanced back every few steps and saw Ling Ziqian still standing at the entrance of the residential area, so she quickened her pace with a smile.

After watching Dou Xiaorong walk up to the residential building, Ling Ziqian turned and walked home.

As they walked upstairs, Cupid, all smiles, jumped right in front of Ling Ziqian.

“I accept it!” She extended her star-studded finger and lightly tapped the silver watch.

"Hey..." The ambiguous feeling created by holding hands earlier hadn't even warmed up before Cupid took it all away. He looked up and saw that Cupid had only left him 1 point.
