All my teammates online are my girlfriends

"Look, but Lin Qiu, you can't go in and drink, otherwise Mom will think Dad has corrupted you and she'll just pin him down on the bed and rub him against you."

"Ahem, I understand."

Thinking back to his father's status, Lin Qiu nodded with great sympathy.

Without thinking about anything else, she took out her phone and looked at the address that Yuanzi had sent her before. After confirming that it wasn't far from her, she took Chie's hand and hurried towards the bar.

"Brother Lin Qiu, do you think the boss might be a beautiful older sister?"

"Chie, watch less TV dramas. This kind of thing only happens in dreams."

Lin Qiu flicked her forehead in annoyance. "Don't you know my situation?"

If I hadn't happened to run into Qin Yunmo and Zhou Zezhi at the amusement park, I probably wouldn't have had any luck with women before graduating high school.

If Yuanzi were a girl, I'd get a beating from Zezhi as soon as I stepped outside!

049 - It's round... a round dumpling!

Soothing and melodious music drifted through the dimly lit room, accompanied by warm orange lighting.

Cleanly washed wine glasses are neatly arranged on the counter, while the shelves behind them are stocked with a large quantity of fine red wine.

The rich aroma of wine lingered in the air, adding a touch of intoxication to the room.

There were no customers in the store at the moment, only a figure lazily leaning on the counter, staring blankly at the calendar next to him.

With two days to go and no sign of the person she was waiting for, she felt an itch in her heart, like a cat scratching at her.

Her fingers lightly twirled the crimson strands of hair framing her temples, as if she were recalling something amusing, and her thin red lips curved into a captivating smile.

Before she could continue resting, a soft tinkling sound suddenly came from the doorway.

Her eyelashes fluttered as she looked up and saw a petite girl with an oval face carrying a small bag walk in, a happy expression on her face, as if she had encountered something good.

But when the girl looked towards the counter and saw the shop owner lounging lazily, she couldn't help but let out a wry smile—

"Boss lady, you've had too much to drink again. It's only daytime, don't drink so much."

"I didn't drink too much, just a moderate amount."

Ying Ziyan replied lazily, turning her head slightly to reveal her alluring face, still flushed with a captivating blush.

Although her words still carried the strong aroma of alcohol, one could indeed sense that she was fully conscious.

"Boss lady, you've said that so many times already, and every time you just finish saying it and keep drinking."

Xiaoyu muttered, clearly not believing Ying Ziyan's perfunctory reply. Drinking so much every day is very harmful to one's health!

However, Ying Ziyan smiled upon hearing this and did not refute anything. She sat up again and stretched with a soft sigh.

With a straight back, her proud curves were on full display, especially her soft and magnificent breasts, which made Xiaoyu stare in a daze.

Has the landlady gotten bigger recently?

"But I remember you weren't supposed to be working today, Xiaoyu. Why did you suddenly come over?"

Ying Ziyan yawned, glanced at the schedule next to her, and couldn't help but ask a question casually.

"Ah, it's like this, I have an appointment in two days, so I thought I'd talk to the landlady about whether I can switch shifts."

At the mention of dating, Xiaoyu's face immediately flushed, and she looked at Ying Ziyan shyly.

Upon hearing the employee's response, Ying Ziyan's expression visibly stiffened, and her breathing became somewhat disordered at that moment.

Even my employees have boyfriends they like, so why can't I find one myself?

"Two days later..."

Her gaze swept across the calendar, and it was indeed her birthday. Ying Ziyan couldn't help but let out a wry smile.

As a result, I'll be all alone on my birthday.

"Alright, no need to switch shifts. Consider that day a day off for you. Have fun."

"Thank you, boss lady!"

"Remember to take protective measures."

"Um???"

Looking at Ying Ziyan who suddenly said something, Xiaoyu's lips twitched involuntarily, but she didn't care too much.

After taking a deep breath and thanking the proprietress, she hurriedly left the bar again.

After watching the employees leave, Ying Ziyan sighed softly and took a sip of red wine with a bitter expression.

Will those three people really come on my birthday?

If I don't come, I'll really be all alone...

"jingle-"

Hearing the bell ring again, Ying Ziyan was slightly taken aback and turned around to ask a question—

"Xiaoyu, is something... left... here?"

Her voice grew weaker and weaker, her gaze fixed blankly on the aloof figure standing at the door. It was not a face she recognized, yet it conveyed a sense of inexplicable familiarity.

She has a delicate and refined appearance, yet possesses a calm and serene demeanor beyond her years. Her long, flowing black hair, reaching her waist, is tied into a single strand that falls down her back.

A fitted beige trench coat paired with skinny jeans and high boots creates a clean and crisp look that exudes a refreshing and comforting vibe.

After only a few cursory glances, Ying Ziyan's eyes lit up immediately.

What a handsome boy... oh, a girl.

Before Ying Ziyan could even feel happy, her gaze swept over the flat chest that barely rose and fell, but when she saw the neck without an Adam's apple, she immediately deflated as if all her energy had been depleted.

As expected, I don't have much luck with love; I can't seem to meet any good men who make my heart flutter.

Would you like something to drink?

Although she was a little disappointed, Ying Ziyan still smiled and asked.

Qin Yunmo blinked, his gaze sweeping across the dimly lit atmosphere of the bar, and tentatively asked—

"Are you the owner of this bar?"

"It's me. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Upon seeing Ying Ziyan admit that it was him, even Qin Yunmo couldn't help but be taken aback.

After taking out his phone and confirming the address was correct and that it was indeed a bar, he quietly asked—

"Yuanzi?"

Upon hearing this address, Ying Ziyan was immediately startled, her eyes fixed on the unfamiliar face.

Only three people had agreed to come find me offline. Which one of them was it? Lin Zhong Hui Yuan? Tou Yu Mao? Or Qing Yuan?!

"It's...it's me. And who are you?"

Ying Ziyan's voice trembled slightly, clearly still reeling from the shock.

So the girl I've been teaming up with all this time is such a beautiful girl?!

"I am Qingyuan."

"Qingyuan?! Ah—please sit down, please sit down. Why did you come so early today?"

Ying Ziyan was overjoyed and quickly invited her, even pouring her a glass of red wine. But then, remembering that the other person was still a high school student, she quickly changed it to juice.

Seeing Yuanzi's thoughtful little gesture, Qin Yunmo smiled faintly—

"I came out today to prepare a gift for you, and I thought I'd stop by and take a look, but I didn't expect that Yuan... Yuanzi, you're actually a girl."

His gaze swept over the astonishing bosom, comparable to Liu Yu's, so genuinely full that Qin Yunmo couldn't help but stammer.

Now we finally understand why Yuanzi wasn't surprised when she saw Liu Yu's portrait. So you're that old too?!

"You've really gone to so much trouble. It's just a birthday celebration, there's no need to make it so complicated."

Yuanzi said with a smile, clearly overjoyed that Qingyuan had come to see her at this time.

If Qingyuan is so beautiful, what will the remaining fish-stealing cat and Linzhong Huiyuan be like?

"Birthdays are very important days and deserve to be celebrated properly. However, I'll give you your birthday present on your actual birthday. I also brought a small gift for you today."

As Qin Yunmo spoke, he took out a delicate little pastry from the bag he was casually carrying, which made Yuanzi's eyes light up again...

050-Factional Disputes Among the Lin Family's Daughters-in-Law

"Chie, what are you doing?"

"Scouting the location, isn't that how it's always done in the movies? Wearing a hat, holding a newspaper, sitting there spying on the target. There's no newspaper here, so I'll use a comic book instead!"

Chie waved the new comic book she had just bought in her hand and explained it in a serious manner.

But once her gaze fell on the comic book, she never looked away, completely ignoring the situation at the bar across the street with its doors tightly shut.

Seeing Chie clearly forgetting her original purpose, Lin Qiu said nothing more and simply sat down next to her.

However, his gaze was fixed on the bar, waiting for the suspected individuals to enter or leave.

Today is not the appointed day yet, so Qingyuan and the fish-stealing cat shouldn't show up. All I need to do is keep an eye on the person who looks like Yuanzi!

Alcoholism would likely make one appear tired and decadent. Being a rich second-generation heir, and having seen many women with large breasts, one would likely be surrounded by women.

Recalling all the characteristics he knew, Lin Qiu's attention was focused to the extreme.

But as time ticked by, there was no sign of anyone entering the bar, let alone leaving.

The glass in the window was also extremely dark, making it impossible to see what was happening inside. Lin Qiu's eyes were almost bloodshot from staring at it.

"Brother Lin Qiu, I think the bar might be closed today. Should we leave now?"

About ten minutes later, Chie tugged at Lin Qiu's sleeve and muttered something.

I've finished reading my comic book, so it's time to leave. Otherwise, it'll be too boring to just wait here.

"Aren't you going in to take a look?"

Lin Qiu glanced sideways at Chie, who had already packed up her comic books, and had a feeling that the little girl was just using the excuse of checking out the store to buy comic books.

If she really discovered that Yuanzi was a man, she could then rightfully take the teddy bear back.

They're incredibly shrewd with their little schemes!

"Hmm—I think I'll pass. There haven't been any customers coming or going yet, so they probably haven't opened for business yet. Going in and disturbing them now would be a bother."

After pondering for a while, Chie muttered, "Bars are usually most busy at night, so there shouldn't be many people here now."

Although I'm a little reluctant to part with the teddy bear, I can go to the arcade with Qin Xuan in two days and get a new one then, so I won't be too short of one.

Forget it! Why bother paying attention to other people? Aren't Yunmo and Zezhi better?

Go back and carefully study how to win them over; that's the right way!

"Let's go back. Mom's coming home tonight, and I need to help her cook."

"Go home now."

After taking Qianhui's small bag, Lin Qiu took her little hand and they slowly left.

Anyway, we'll meet in two days, so a little longer won't make a difference. I can only hope that the other person will be easier to get along with in real life.

It's best if that fish-stealing cat guy is the kind of guy who's easy to bully offline. Let's see if he dares to be arrogant in front of me again!

When the two of them strolled home, Qin Yunmo and Ying Ziyan chatted happily and even played "Empty Realm" together in her boudoir for quite a while before reluctantly taking their leave.

It's been a long time since I've met such a compatible friend offline. Today's visit was definitely worthwhile!

But as she stepped out the door, she inexplicably looked at the empty bench across the street, feeling as if she had missed something.

"What's wrong, Yunmo? Did you leave something here with me?"

Seeing Qin Yunmo suddenly stop, Ying Ziyan, who was seeing him to the door, asked with some confusion.

"No, I was just spacing out. Thank you for your hospitality today. See you again on Tuesday, I'll need your help then."

"No problem, no problem at all. You're welcome to come anytime. I'll prepare a big meal for you!"

After waving goodbye to Ying Ziyan, Qin Yunmo slowly left and headed straight for his home.
