Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 137 The Scorching Sun (36 pages)

Gu Yao looked up upon hearing this, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"You, what did you say?"

Qi Xuan looked at the boy with astonishment in his eyes, and the fingers on the sofa armrest curled up slightly involuntarily, but he remained calm and nonchalant.

“Didn’t you hear me, A Yao? As a businessman, I never do business at a loss. I’ve invested so much time, energy, and money in you, so you have to give me a corresponding return.”

Qi Xuan wore a calm and collected expression, but his heart was already churning with turbulent emotions.

He was waiting for the boy's questioning. Gu Yao was always proud and arrogant, and he would definitely not be able to bear such humiliation.

If you can't stand it, just leave.

He has now completely broken ties with Qi Jin, and there are also business rivals eyeing him covetously. It is now the most unsafe time for Gu Yao to stay by his side.

Qi Xuan was prepared for the boy to break things or spill the tea on his face, but he didn't.

Gu Yao made no move.

Just looked at him quietly.

There was not a trace of anger in those clear, amber-like eyes.

There was only a still, stagnant pool of water, and even the initial shock was buried beneath this stillness.

Gu Yao looked at Qi Xuan and suddenly smiled, "Okay."

Qi Xuan was stunned for a moment, and could no longer pretend.

His calm expression was instantly replaced by worry. He slammed his hand on the coffee table in front of him and looked at Gu Yao, demanding, "Gu Yao, do you know what you're saying?"

Gu Yao's smile remained unchanged, and he tilted his head slightly, his eyes revealing a unique purity. "I know, I'll be your lover."

Qi Xuan frowned, looking at the young man in front of him as if he were seeing him for the first time. "If you agree, we won't be lovers, but rather a sugar daddy and lover relationship. Do you understand?"

The boy's smile was innocent. "I know, it's a transaction between a sugar daddy and a lover, but I've already told you, I will never refuse your request."

Gu Yao looked at Qi Xuan, his brown eyes so clear they seemed to stretch out to the horizon, yet those clear eyes concealed a deep obsession.

It's like a wolf in sheep's clothing shedding its docile disguise to reveal its inner ferocity.

Qi Xuan met those beautiful eyes, but was startled by Gu Yao's gaze.

He didn't know why Gu Yao had that look in his eyes.

He was about to say something when the boy lowered his eyes, placed his hands on his lap, and looked completely obedient.

When he looked up again, the boy had returned to his harmless appearance.

"Brother Xuan, is there anything else? If not, I'll be going now."

Qi Xuan looked at the boy, his eyes filled with deep confusion.

Gu Yao didn't say anything more to Qi Xuan. Instead, he stood up, waved to the young man with a smile as sweet as honey, and said, "I'm leaving. You can't avoid me anymore after today."

Qi Xuan watched the boy's figure disappear through the doorway.

They were still unable to react for a long time.

This is not what he expected.

Gu Yao left Qi Xuan's office in a great mood.

He hummed a little tune as he came out of the office, and made eye contact with Assistant Lin as he passed by.

Gu Yao waved to Lin Xi with a smile, "Goodbye, Assistant Lin."

Lin Xi's face showed obvious shock, and the boy's figure only flashed by.

Watching Gu Yao's cheerful figure disappear into the distance, Lin Xi frowned deeply.

As soon as he met the boy's eyes, he felt as if the boy had seen right through him.

I was actually scared by an eighteen-year-old boy.

Lin Xi frowned, watching Gu Yao's back as he entered the elevator and disappeared.

Recalling the boy's cheerful steps just now, his brows furrowed even more deeply.

Logically, this shouldn't be the case; he was prepared to clean up the mess in his office later.

He turned to look at the closed office door, suppressing his urge to investigate.

I'm going to find an excuse to go check on Qi Xuan later.

It was unusually quiet.

It's really weird.

Gu Yao sat in the taxi back to his apartment, watching the scenery rushing past the window, and began to organize the information he had.

The experiment just now proved that what's needed in a plot is the result, not the process.

Just as he didn't have a tragic love story with Qi Xuan like in the drama, the will of Heaven still couldn't intervene.

That makes things much easier.

It is still feasible.

Gu Yao silently planned his next move.

Back in the apartment, Gu Yao collapsed onto the bed. 0529 looked at Gu Yao, who was sprawled out like a pancake, and asked sincerely.

The senior said that if you encounter a smart host, you must be thick-skinned, ask more questions, and learn more, because you might be able to use it in the future.

"Host, why did you agree to Qi Xuan's request so easily?"

0529 frowned, and his face looked somewhat... distorted.

Recalling Qi Xuan's tone and that smug expression in the office just now, if he weren't incorporeal and unable to touch the people in the mission world, he would have taught him a lesson about why flowers are so red.

Gu Yao turned to look at the system, his face showing his indignation on his part.

If he could fight, he probably would have already beaten up Qi Xuan.

The little guy is as big as a ball, and he has quite a temper.

He grabbed the system, took off its hat, and patiently explained things to it while stroking its round head.

"Because I'm conducting an experiment."

The system was held in Gu Yao's arms, the entire system nestled within him, listening to the host's heartbeat and gentle voice so close at hand.

He felt like his code was about to get stuck in a knot.

The CPU is about to burn out.

I couldn't hear what Gu Yao was saying at all.

Gu Yao glanced down and saw the system looking blank. He thought the system hadn't understood, so he patiently explained to the system, "I wanted to change my father's death, but the Heavenly Dao forcibly corrected it. However, the way he died was not the jumping off a building as in the original plot. At that time, I was guessing that the plot only needed the result and not the process. Today's experiment has proven my guess."

Gu Yao paused again, looked out the window at the cloudless blue sky, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips. "Although the Heavenly Dao of this world is stronger than that of the previous world, it still can't interfere with the plot too much. It can only make some deliberate corrections when the plot is about to go astray. Since it is feasible, why should I spend the next two years with Qi Xuan in such a bitter and hateful way?"

At this point, a trace of sadness appeared on Gu Yao's face, and his voice became somewhat ethereal.

"But this time, I still have to leave him, leaving him all alone again."

Having recovered from receiving a large amount of information, the system looked at Gu Yao's somewhat melancholy profile and patted him on the back with its little hand. "Don't be sad, host. Maybe you'll see him after you finish your mission."

Gu Yao felt the gentle pressure on his back, turned to look at his somewhat silly system, and smiled brightly, "Yes, so I have to work hard too."
