I raised stunning young ladies, but they all wanted to possess me.

Gu Yan was completely stunned when she heard Cecilia's words.

He had originally intended to take a sip of his coffee to calm his nerves, but his hand trembled, and a few drops of dark brown liquid spilled out and splashed onto the back of his hand.

Why the hell does he say that to other girls all the time?!

He felt that Cecilia's problem was a blatant trap!

Gu Yan subconsciously wiped away non-existent cold sweat, feeling a little uneasy.

Wait, why am I nervous?

He and Cecilia are just friends at best, why would he feel guilty?

He composed himself and tried to make his voice sound natural: "Actually... I haven't said these things to many girls."

What he said was somewhat true.

All told, it's just Lin Jinyu and Pei Yuran, maybe with Aunt Pei Youyi at most.

However, what I said to Aunt Pei was mostly professional communication and daily care for Pei Yuran during her treatment, which is different in nature.

Cecilia frowned, clearly dissatisfied with the answer: "Isn't that enough?"

Gu Yan was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "Is it a lot?"

Cecilia's icy blue eyes swept over coldly.

"A lot! A lot! Indeed... quite a lot!"

Gu Yan was startled by her gaze and immediately changed her words.

A wise man doesn't suffer a loss now; this is just temporary forbearance, and he will surely have his day to turn the tables.

"It seems that Master Gu's previous statement about being a womanizer was not untrue."

"In just six years, he's managed to get involved with both the hot-tempered young fire god from the Lin family and the arrogant young sword immortal from the Pei family..."

"Master Gu is truly skilled."

Cecilia gave a soft hum.

Anyone with eyes could hear the anger in Cecilia's voice.

Gu Yan was truly impressed.

Nima!

The ancients were right: women and petty men are the most difficult to deal with!

You're supposed to be the internationally renowned goddess of wisdom on the Frozen Throne, so why are you acting like an ordinary, tantrum-throwing little girl?

He weakly protested, "Miss Cecilia, didn't you say before...?"

"Do you admire men who confront their desires directly and dare to take responsibility for their actions?"

"Do you find men like that very attractive?"

"They probably wouldn't be lying to me, would they?"

Cecilia was stunned for a moment by these words.

She didn't expect Gu Yan to use her own words to shut her up, and even try to turn the tables on him.

But seeing Gu Yan's evasive gaze, not daring to look her in the eye, a strange mix of annoyance and inexplicable pleasure crept into her heart.

She spoke softly, her tone revealing neither joy nor anger: "So, Master Gu thinks he did nothing wrong, and that I'm the one who's in the wrong?"

"Heh, the Second Heavenly Sword Token."

"Truly unprecedented and unparalleled, this will surely be recorded in history."

"Master Gu truly enjoys the favor of the Pei family, mother and daughter!"

"Looking at it this way, I was just an outsider, and I was wrong."

"You're right, aren't you, Mr. Gu?"

Looking at Cecilia's expression, Gu Yan's lips parted slightly, unsure of what to say.

Although he had no evidence, he felt that the Athena from Shanglu was being sarcastic and sarcastic towards him.

As for whether Cecilia was wrong or not?

nonsense.

She must be in the wrong!

He mentally ranted, "Does she really think she can do whatever she wants just because she's the female lead? Does she have no sense of basic reason?!"

If I weren't unable to beat you...

Just then, the roller coaster entered one of the most scenic areas.

Gu Yan subconsciously looked out the window and saw that the scenery on both sides of the track was no longer a dark forest, but a bright and open starlit lakeside.

A huge, fluffy, glowing cat model lay lazily by the lake, its tail tip swaying gently, scattering starlight.

The lake reflects the shimmering Milky Way simulated by the dome, creating a dreamlike and enchanting scene.

Even more amazing is that the countless transparent jellyfish-like creatures shimmering with a faint light are clearly high-tech projections.

Floating and swimming slowly in the air, gently swaying to the touch, it feels like being in a deep-sea dream.

Forget it, if I can't afford to offend them, can't I at least avoid them?

"Miss Cecilia, look over there!"

Gu Yan immediately seized the opportunity, pointed out the window, and exclaimed with just the right amount of amazement.

Cecilia looked in the direction he was pointing, and her icy blue pupils were instantly illuminated by the breathtakingly beautiful scene.

Starlight, lake water, a giant glowing cat, floating jellyfish.

All of these elements combined create a beauty that is almost unreal.

The girl was indeed touched by the meticulously designed scenery and temporarily forgot to ask further questions.

Seeing that Cecilia's attention was drawn to the scenery outside, Gu Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He took the opportunity to pull out his phone again and, unwilling to give up, continued to dial Chen Sinian's number.

Still no one answered!

Gu Yan's eyes darkened.

What on earth is that old fox Chen up to?

What could be more important than his precious daughter? He won't even answer the phone!

Damn!

Gu Yan felt that her previous asking price was too conservative.

He felt that being next to Cecilia, the female lead, was no different from being in prison.

Once this amusement park project is over and he's released from prison, he's determined to go all out and upgrade it!

He's being forced to direct and write scripts, and also forced to act as the male lead opposite someone else—they're really going to torture him to death!

On the bright side, Cecilia's mental ruins have indeed been repaired considerably.

At this rate, there shouldn't be any major problems in the next year.

He could leave Shanglu with Chen Sinian's supernatural power and reward without feeling guilty.

In any case, both he and his grandfather enjoyed the highest special allowance jointly issued by the three highest courts of the Empire: the Senate, the Executive Court, and the Judgment Court.

In addition, there's the enormous wealth he's accumulated over the years through his own abilities and a bit of precognition about the plot...

Gu Yan seemed to already see the sunshine, beaches, seagulls, and the leisurely days when no one knew him in South Africa.

Thinking about it this way, a wonderful life is beckoning him, which is pretty good.

He couldn't help but dream a happy ending for himself, and the hardships before him didn't seem so unbearable anymore.

Also.

Gu Yan had always had a question in her mind.

His grandfather was a hero of the empire and had made great contributions in the past.

He had previously spoken with several elderly members of the Imperial Senate and had inquired why the state did not proactively cover all of his grandfather's medical expenses.

Even if this is a somewhat abstract female-oriented world, it shouldn't be so indifferent to heroes, right?

The other party's answer was yes.

It was Grandpa Gu himself who resolutely refused the highest level of medical assistance.

He feared that excessive attention and treatment would attract the attention of certain individuals, potentially revealing more details of the top-secret plan from back then.

But now, when Gu Yan thinks back on it, she feels a chill run down her spine.

What kind of plan could leave an irreversible hidden injury on a powerful S-class superhuman like Grandpa?

Even in his later years, in order not to expose the details of the plan and for the sake of his country, he was willing to give up national-level treatment and silently endure the pain.

"Xiao Yan, don't waste your money on this old man, it's not worth it."

"You should go your own way and live the life you want to live."

Grandpa did say that to him many times.

But Gu Yan grew up alone in a wheelchair in her previous life and never experienced the warmth of family affection.

Having transmigrated to this world, he now has a grandfather who genuinely loves and protects him. On the most basic moral and emotional level, he could never stand by and watch his grandfather decline before his eyes.

I will never give up.

He repeated it silently to himself.

Gu Yan let out a soft breath, temporarily suppressing those heavy thoughts, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Why think so much? Let's just keep thinking about the wonderful life we'll have in South Africa.
