Free Web NovelChapter 11: Chapter 11: The Campus Goddess Wants to Live with Me?
"What?"
Hearing this, Yu Chenghao was stunned. He subconsciously stammered, "It’s just a key... How do you know if it’s real...?"
"Are you willing to bet on it?"
Li Yuan looked at him and retorted.
Li Yuan’s voice was heavy as he continued, "As far as I know, only two people in the entire country own this model of sports car. One is a major political figure with immense influence, and the other is President Ma, the CEO of the Ah Li Group, one of the nation’s top ten corporations!"
"And no matter which one it is, your father can’t afford to offend them!"
At that moment, Yu Chenghao fell silent.
He had always relied on his status as a rich second-generation heir to look down on Ye Ling. He had even been about to beat Ye Ling up just now. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
If an ordinary person assaulted someone in public, they would undoubtedly face administrative penalties, possibly even criminal charges.
But he wasn’t afraid. He had connections and could easily use his influence to make it all go away.
However, he was now faced with someone who might have an even more powerful background than his own!
Seeing his silence, Li Yuan couldn’t help but sigh softly.
With Yu Chenghao’s status, he could basically do whatever he wanted in Modu. But if he had really run into the heir of one of those two individuals...
His status as the young master of a top-500 company meant nothing in comparison!
"I get it."
Yu Chenghao nodded and let out a long breath.
An ordinary person might not understand the power dynamics at play, but as someone who frequently wielded his own ’power,’ he was keenly aware of the stakes involved.
If he truly offended a figure of that caliber, the entire Yu Group would likely suffer the consequences.
That was a risk he dared not take.
Besides, what was the point of beating up Ye Ling now?
He had already made a complete fool of himself in front of Ning Ruoxi. It was hopeless!
"Whatever. I’m never coming to this Patek Square again."
Yu Chenghao snorted coldly and stalked toward the elevator, his face a mask of fury.
However, he soon realized something was off. Many people were staring at him as he walked, and some even had their phones out, recording him.
’What’s going on? Did I suddenly unleash my kingly, charismatic aura and become an object of mass adoration?’
Yu Chenghao wondered to himself. Instantly, most of his frustration dissipated.
This celebrity-like treatment, he thought, was not bad at all!
An unprecedented joy! frёeωebɳovel.com
See? The satisfaction of a pleb is just that simple and crass!
...
However, when a certain someone returned home and started scrolling through a video app out of boredom, he stumbled upon a clip of himself getting thrashed by Ye Ling and let out a furious roar.
"Ye Ling, I’ll f—!"
...
"ACHOO!"
Ye Ling, who was already back home, let out a series of sneezes.
"Who’s cursing my name?"
Ye Ling rubbed his nose, looking annoyed. Then, a thought struck him, and the corner of his mouth curved up. "Probably that punk, Yu Chenghao."
Truthfully, he was a little confused. He didn’t understand why Li Yuan had suddenly stopped mid-attack earlier that day and dragged Yu Chenghao away.
He hadn’t pulled out his car key as a threat or a power move; he just thought it would be uncomfortable in his pocket during a fight...
After all, he didn’t have any powerful backing. He was just from an ordinary, working-class family.
"Whatever. There are always some dumbasses who love to act tough, but they don’t even know how to do it right."
Ye Ling pursed his lips and decided not to dwell on it.
[Ye Ling: Guess who I ran into today?]
[Ning Ruoxi: Hmm? Who did you run into?]
[Ye Ling: Yu Chenghao.]
[Ning Ruoxi: What? Are you okay?]
[Ning Ruoxi: I’m so sorry... It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have used you as a shield.]
[Ye Ling: It’s fine. That Yu Chenghao seems to have a few screws loose.]
[Ning Ruoxi: Are you really okay?]
[Ning Ruoxi: Okay, okay, but just be careful. Yu Chenghao’s father is a big deal. He’s the president of the Yu Group, a top 500 company in the country.]
[Ye Ling: No wonder. I was wondering why Yu Chenghao suddenly had a bodyguard with him.]
[Ning Ruoxi: A bodyguard?? Are you all right? Were you hurt? Forget it, just wait, I’m coming over to your place right now.]
[Ye Ling: Huh? You don’t have to do that.]
[No Response from Contact (Voice Call Invitation)]
Seeing this, Ye Ling scratched his head in resigned helplessness.
’No way, is this girl really coming over just like that?’
About twenty minutes later, Ning Ruoxi indeed arrived in a hurry.
"Ye Ling, are you okay?"
Ning Ruoxi looked at Ye Ling with a worried expression the moment she stepped through the door.
Seeing the girl’s anxious face, Ye Ling felt a warmth spread through his heart and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Although...
He hadn’t been hurt at all.
’But this feeling of being cared for... it’s really nice...’
"What are you grinning foolishly for? Did that Yu Chenghao do something to you?"
Ning Ruoxi grew even more anxious.
Ye Ling smiled faintly and waved his hand. "It’s nothing. The bodyguard seemed like he was about to make a move on me, but then he suddenly left for some reason."
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, Ning Ruoxi’s eyes narrowed slightly.
"Ye Ling, I’m telling you, you can’t be careless about this. Yu Chenghao’s father, Yu Tiancheng, holds a high position in the country and has many tricks up his sleeve."
A hint of gravity crept into Ning Ruoxi’s voice.
Although she knew Ye Ling lived in a luxury villa at Tomson Riviera, owning a nice home was nothing in the eyes of someone on Yu Tiancheng’s level.
To even be considered one of the nation’s top 500 companies, you needed assets worth tens of billions!
"Don’t worry, it’ll be fine."
Ye Ling naturally knew she was worried about him, and he let out a soft chuckle.
However, there wasn’t much fear in his expression.
If he had provoked such a behemoth before, he might have felt the pressure.
But now, he had the System!
With just three check-ins, he had received a villa at Tomson Riviera and an incredible Pagani supercar!
And those were just the rewards from System Version 1.0.
Who knows what kind of even more insane rewards he would get when it reached Version 2.0.
A mere top-500 company? He really wasn’t too concerned.
Seeing how nonchalant Ye Ling was, Ning Ruoxi grew even more worried.
"Forget it. I should just move in with you," Ning Ruoxi said.
"Huh?"
This time, it was Ye Ling’s turn to be flabbergasted.
He stared blankly at Ning Ruoxi for a long moment before saying hesitantly, "Um, isn’t this moving a little too fast?"
’To be honest, he still wasn’t entirely sure how he felt about Ning Ruoxi.’
’She was beautiful, and they got along very well.’
’But they had only known each other for three days, right?’
’Wouldn’t moving in together be a bit...?’
