6: Chapter 6: A System-Initiated Serendipitous Quest! Sorry! I already have a boyfriend!

On the top floor of the Li Group Business Building, inside a spacious and magnificent office, sunlight poured through the massive floor-to-ceiling glass windows onto the floor, illuminating the entire room.

Behind the desk, Li Qingxue's gaze lingered on a photo in her hand. Her brow furrowed slightly, and a hint of distaste flashed in her clear, bright eyes.

The photo was unmistakably of Chu Xiao from three years ago, except back then, Chu Xiao was very fat and looked extremely bloated!!

Although the Li Family had decided to break off the engagement back then and had secretly discussed it with the elders of the Chu Family, the two families hadn't fallen out, nor had there been any official announcement of the broken engagement.

Thus, to outsiders, the Li and Chu families were still in a state of matrimonial alliance. Their business cooperation had never ceased over the years, appearing very harmonious on the surface.

For the sake of profit, the elders of both families decided to wait a few years and see; what if that foolish boy had a change of heart?

This wait lasted for three years!

To others, it might have been nothing.

But for Li Qingxue, it was a great humiliation. She was extremely beautiful, very wealthy and powerful, highly educated, and her suitors stretched from here all the way to France.

A Family alliance, yet she was actually rejected by a fat pig?

On what grounds?

She was absolutely fuming!

At the same time, she felt very fortunate because she also hated these Family alliances from the bottom of her heart; by contrast, she craved the freedom to love.

Unfortunately, over all these years, not a single man had been able to enter her heart!

This caused her a great deal of distress.

Recently, however, she found a bodyguard by her side to be quite good. He was a tough guy retired from a foreign special forces unit named Ye Fan. He was about her age, resolute, bold, very handsome, and full of masculinity.

Although he was currently just a lowly security guard, with the eye for people Li Qingxue had cultivated over the years, she felt that Ye Fan would surely achieve great things in the future.

At the very least, he was much more reliable than the rich second-generation heirs she usually interacted with.

Knock, knock, knock~~

The sound of knocking interrupted her thoughts.

Li Qingxue snapped back to reality and put away the photo. "Come in!"

"President, someone downstairs is looking for you! He says he has a lunch appointment with you! His name is Chu Xiao!"

A cute and dorky little secretary said as she pushed the door open.

Hearing this.

Li Qingxue's pupils constricted. "What did you say his name was?"

The cute secretary: "He said his name is Chu Xiao, and he brought a little girl with him."

A layer of frost appeared on Li Qingxue's beautiful face. She thought to herself, Well played, Chu Xiao. To dare bring a female companion the first time you come to see me—is this meant to be a show of strength?

She pondered for a moment and said coldly, "Fine, I understand. Tell him to wait outside."

"Mhm."

The cute secretary closed the door and left.

Li Qingxue thought for a moment, then picked up the phone and dialed the security room's landline. "Tell Ye Fan to come over; I have something to discuss with him."

The corners of her mouth curled up, though it was unclear what she was thinking.

On the other side.

By the roadside downstairs from the Li Group building, Chu Xiao sat in his car, took a sip of milk tea, and boredly opened the System interface to check it.

He was surprised to find that his pleasure points had actually increased by over three hundred, and they were still continuously rising, sometimes gaining several points in a single minute.

Holy crap.

When did I get so many pleasure points!

He scrolled through the records.

He discovered that these pleasure points almost all came from the envy and jealousy of passersby, as well as a deep-seated resentment toward the wealthy.

"It seems that as long as I show off, I can continuously gain pleasure points."

Chu Xiao grinned foolishly.

Beside him, his younger sister Chu Lingyin pouted her little mouth, her short legs dangling in the air. She whispered, "Big Brother, we've been waiting for 30 minutes. Why hasn't Sister-in-law come down yet? I'm hungry..."

Chu Xiao looked down at his watch. "Then let's go eat first."

Chu Lingyin tilted her little head and asked in a milky voice, "Are we not waiting for Sister-in-law?"

Chu Xiao snorted coldly. "Wait for what? In 30 minutes, she should have come down even if she were in heaven. She's intentionally avoiding us, so we shouldn't just wait here like idiots, right? I only have one little sister; what if you get too thin from hunger?"

Chu Lingyin giggled. "Mhm~ Big Brother, you're so good to me."

Just as Chu Xiao was about to slam on the gas, a beautiful figure suddenly emerged from the doors of the Li Group building. Wearing a pure white dress, her skin was as translucent as snow, her eyes clear and bright, and her jet-black hair cascaded over her shoulders like a waterfall. Even without a trace of makeup, she was enough to stun everyone.

What a beautiful babe.

However, there was a man beside this babe. Dressed in a black suit, he was tall and upright with a resolute and handsome face, looking very masculine.

Chu Xiao looked closer. Holy shit, isn't she my fiancée, Li Qingxue!

Why did she bring a guy down with her?

What's the meaning of this?

Is she already in a relationship?

Is she specifically bringing her "little wolf dog" out to show off their affection?

Li Qingxue immediately spotted the dark gold lotus evija parked by the roadside and walked over. After all, only a young rich second-generation heir like Chu Xiao would drive such a luxury car.

"Big Brother, there's a man next to Sister-in-law. Is she cheating?" Chu Lingyin whispered, peering from behind the car window.

Chu Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He pushed open the car door, stepped out, and said naturally, "Hello, Miss Li!"

Seeing Chu Xiao, a hint of confusion flashed in Li Qingxue's eyes. The Chu Xiao in her memory was clearly an oily, fat guy, nothing like the somewhat handsome man before her.

How could she know that after Chu Xiao ran away from home for three years, he was so poor he couldn't afford to eat, literally thinning down from over 200 pounds to 130...

"You're Chu Xiao?"

Li Qingxue spoke with a hint of surprise, though there was no smile on her face, and a trace of distaste flashed in the depths of her eyes.

This distaste likely stemmed from an instinctive rejection.

After all, she had hated Chu Xiao for three whole years, resenting that "fat pig" every single moment!

You can imagine how long a woman can hold a grudge.

Chu Xiao maintained his smile and said, "Three years ago..."

Just as he started to speak, Li Qingxue immediately interrupted, "Don't bring up the things from three years ago. I already have a boyfriend now. So, just treat it as if our elders were making a joke. We can be friends, but don't get any ideas."

She shut down the conversation right from the start.

As expected!

She's just as difficult to deal with as Grandpa predicted.

Chu Xiao was speechless. In reality, he didn't care about Li Qingxue at all. Whether she was the eldest daughter of the Li Group or the Young Miss of the Wang Family, she was just a woman, a tool for him to extract pleasure points.

If not for the expectations of the old man, Chu Xiao wouldn't have put up with this attitude.

[Ding!]

[Top-tier goddess detected, meets quest conditions!]

[Random Encounter Quest Issued: Win over the goddess Li Qingxue. Go, conquer her!]

[Quest Reward: pleasure points 9999!]

[This is a Random Encounter Quest. The host may choose whether or not to accept it!]

The System's voice rang in his mind.

Hiss!

9,999 pleasure points?

It gives that much?

Chu Xiao sucked in a breath of cold air, but he quickly calmed down. Although the System offered a lot of pleasure points, it also indicated that the quest difficulty was very high.

"Forget it, forget it. Even though you're offering a lot of pleasure points, System Bro, she already has a boyfriend. A gentleman doesn't steal another's love; I still have that bottom line. I can't throw away my integrity for a few pleasure points."

"Besides, I don't want to be a 'licking dog' chasing after her! I'm rich and powerful now, and my character isn't bad either. If I want girls, I can have a ton of them. Tonight, I'll just ask that little policewoman out to 'play cards'."

"It's just pleasure points; I'll get them easily enough just by showing off."
