Urban: It turns out this is a comprehensive world
Chapter 36 The Unexpected News, Qin Qingcheng's Decision
The news of Xiao Chen's near-death experience spread like a silent wind, quietly sweeping through the hidden circles of Shanghai and even the capital.
Song Xinyan, far away in the Zhao Group in the capital, was tracing an encrypted document with her fingertips. When she saw the words "Xiao Chen is dying," her hand holding the pen paused slightly, and a complex and unreadable light flashed in her eyes.
Deep within Lingtian Manor, in Qin Qingcheng's bedroom, a faint fragrance still lingered in the air, but this news added an unusual touch. In addition, the forces that had been lurking in the shadows, silently observing the power struggle between Xiao Chen and Luo Lingtian, were also stirred by this news.
Their thoughts varied greatly, but without exception, they all felt a sense of regret about the outcome of "Xiao Chen's near death".
"Miss, the person from the Zhao Group that you've been focusing on has finalized his itinerary and will be arriving in Haishi soon."
Lin Wei's voice broke the silence of the bedroom. Qin Qingcheng, who was holding a water glass and secretly regretting that "Xiao Chen, that good-for-nothing, wasn't beaten to death," shook her water glass slightly upon hearing this. Water droplets splashed onto the hem of her silk dress, but she was completely unaware. All thoughts about Xiao Chen were instantly thrown to the back of her mind, replaced by a strong sense of urgency.
Xiao Chen's survival did cause her a moment of regret, but upon reflection, she realized that at this point in her previous life, he was unharmed, and his current near-death state was an unexpected and enormous variable.
Although she hated Xiao Chen to the core, and from the moment she awakened her memories of her past life, she had wanted to grind this scumbag who had ruined half of her life to dust, ever since she moved into Lingtian Manor and read too many novels about rebirth and counterattack, she also realized that with her current strength, it would be no easy task to get rid of Xiao Chen.
Compared to that, firmly grasping Luo Lingtian is the most important thing for her to turn the tables in this life.
Originally, the presence of Dongfang Mingyue, who was eyeing Haishi with hostility, was already enough of a headache for her.
Although Dongfang Mingyue is currently holding back, Qin Qingcheng knows better than anyone that the woman is merely lying in wait, waiting for the best opportunity to strike.
Unfortunately, she couldn't actively stop him, since in her previous life, Dongfang Mingyue was Luo Lingtian's lawfully wedded wife.
But now, the person from the Zhao Group is also coming to Hai City ahead of schedule! Qin Qingcheng frowned tightly, a sense of unease rising in her heart.
In their previous life, that person didn't set foot in Haishi until much later. Now, the timeline has been moved forward so much, the result is self-evident.
"I understand. You can go and rest now."
Qin Qingcheng rubbed her smooth forehead, the coolness of her fingertips slightly easing the irritation in her heart. She waved her hand, signaling Lin Wei to leave.
The bedroom door closed softly, and the room returned to silence. But she couldn't sit still any longer. She got up and walked to the French windows, gazing at the tranquil night view of Lingtian Manor outside. Her red lips parted slightly, and she murmured to herself, "Even that woman, Song Xinyan, is coming? It seems I can't wait any longer; I must speed things up."
Her tone carried a hint of helplessness. Who wouldn't want the man they deeply love to have only them in his eyes and heart? She certainly believed in Luo Lingtian's self-control, but she also knew his personality. He seemed calm and collected, but in reality, he was also somewhat lecherous. Otherwise, in her previous life, he wouldn't have been entangled with Song Xinyan after being with Dongfang Mingyue.
However, to be fair, Luo Lingtian's character is already top-notch. In his previous life, after he confronted Xiao Chen head-on, his hidden identity was exposed one after another, and he became incredibly powerful. At that time, the women who coveted him could line up from Shanghai to the capital, and each of them was a stunning beauty with a top-notch appearance and figure. Yet, he still kept his bottom line and did nothing out of line.
In this life, although she took the lead by virtue of being reborn and became Luo Lingtian's fiancée, Dongfang Mingyue and Song Xinyan would definitely not let it go.
Even if Luo Lingtian can stay true to himself, if those two women take the initiative to indulge themselves and use all means to entangle him, can Luo Lingtian withstand it?
Qin Qingcheng gave a self-deprecating smile. As a woman herself, she naturally knew that with Dongfang Mingyue and Song Xinyan's resources, if they really disregarded everything, let alone Luo Lingtian, no normal man could withstand it.
However, she couldn't forcefully stop him. She carried the "bad record" of her entanglement with Xiao Chen in her past life. If she wasn't careful, Luo Lingtian might develop a grudge. In that case, not only would she not be able to hold onto him, but she might also end up parting ways.
Right now, the only way to break the deadlock is to win over Luo Lingtian as soon as possible! Once the two of them have consummated their relationship and established the closest possible bond, it won't be so easy for Dongfang Mingyue and Song Xinyan to bring up her past life again.
She knew Luo Lingtian too well; he was a man with an extremely strong sense of responsibility, and once he made up his mind, he would never easily let go.
Once she understood this, the hesitation in Qin Qingcheng's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by decisiveness.
She turned and walked towards the dressing room. Now that she had made her decision, there was no room for hesitation. She was Luo Lingtian's rightful fiancée. If she wanted to have something happen with him, she didn't need to resort to any tricks. In this respect, she was much better than those two women who could only plot in secret.
A moment later, Qin Qingcheng changed into an extremely alluring and revealing nightgown that accentuated her shapely figure. Her skin was as white as snow, and her eyes held a hint of deliberately cultivated melancholy, adding to her allure.
She tidied her hair slightly in front of the mirror, took a deep breath, and walked straight to Luo Lingtian's bedroom.
"Knock knock knock—"
When the knocking sounded, Luo Lingtian had just come out of the bathroom, wearing a loose black bathrobe. The collar of the bathrobe was slightly open, revealing his smooth collarbone and strong chest. Water droplets were still dripping from the ends of his hair, carrying the warm and humid smell of his recent shower.
He casually wiped his hair, walked over and opened the door. When he saw Qin Qingcheng standing outside, his pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of amazement flashed in his eyes.
"Qingcheng? What is this...?" Luo Lingtian's voice unconsciously lowered a few decibels, his gaze fixed on her, unable to look away.
"Ling Tian, we've been together for so many days now, we should know each other well enough." Qin Qingcheng looked at him with a resentful expression, pushed him away without ceremony, and walked straight into the bedroom. "We're legally engaged, are you planning to treat me like a polite guest until our wedding day?"
"Um... I just thought you might need some more time to adjust, right?" Luo Lingtian was stunned for a moment, then realized what might happen next. Even with his calm demeanor, he felt his mouth was dry and subconsciously closed the door behind him, shutting out everything from the outside world.
In fact, not counting this life, looking at his past life, Luo Lingtian wasn't exactly a virgin. He had intimate contact with his girlfriend in his previous life.
His family was of modest means, and his girlfriend eventually broke up with him, but even so, he never sought any "outside help".
In this life, he was reborn and returned with immense power and wealth. He could have any kind of woman he wanted with just a word. However, his nature remained unchanged. He still longed for genuine, heartfelt love, rather than physical pleasure bought with money. Therefore, even after transmigrating, he still remained a virgin.
Now that he was about to get rid of this title, Luo Lingtian's state of mind was inevitably greatly affected, and his heartbeat involuntarily quickened, which was only natural.
"I think I've completely adapted." Qin Qingcheng walked step by step to Luo Lingtian, raised her slender, fair arms, and wrapped them around his neck. The distance between them instantly closed to the extreme. She tilted her delicate face up and gazed at him face to face, her fragrant breath brushing against his cheek. "I have no objection to this marriage. What about you, Luo Lingtian?"
"Don't you think... my status is not good enough for you?" Luo Lingtian subconsciously reached out and wrapped his arms around Qin Qingcheng's slender and soft waist. The delicate touch from his palm made his heart tremble. His gaze fell on her beautiful face, and he asked softly.
"Do you think the Qin family's little princess needs to care about these worldly statuses when choosing a spouse?" Qin Qingcheng's lips curled into a bright smile, her eyes filled with a hint of cunning and certainty.
"Indeed, it's not necessary." Luo Lingtian smiled and instantly understood the deeper meaning in her words.
The Qin family is powerful and doesn't need to consolidate its position through marriage. No matter who Qin Qingcheng chooses as her spouse, it won't affect the Qin family's business. She chose herself purely out of her own heart.
"Have you thought it through?" Luo Lingtian gazed into Qin Qingcheng's eyes and earnestly gave his final choice. "Once something happens, there's no going back."
He had long ago realized that Qin Qingcheng was a reincarnated person who knew everything about his past and future.
Over the past few days, he had come to realize that Qin Qingcheng had no ill intentions towards him and genuinely wanted to cultivate a relationship with him. However, her sudden actions tonight suggested that something unexpected was about to happen, and she was eager to establish a relationship with him.
Luo Lingtian already had some guesses in his heart, but he didn't care. As the saying goes, a gentleman judges by actions, not intentions. And no one in the world is perfect. As long as Qin Qingcheng sincerely wanted to be with him, that was enough.
"Why are you being so fussy?" With their bodies pressed tightly together, Qin Qingcheng clearly felt the changes in Luo Lingtian's body. Her cheeks instantly flushed red, and she felt both nervous and expectant.
In her previous life, although she was influenced by a special power that made her fall in love with Xiao Chen, she and Xiao Chen had never had any real contact. Tonight was her first time.
Embarrassed, she couldn't help but raise her right hand and gently pat Luo Lingtian's firm chest, her tone tinged with a hint of coquettishness.
"Heh, since that's the case..." Luo Lingtian chuckled, the last trace of hesitation in his eyes completely disappearing. He picked Qin Qingcheng up by the waist, feeling the lightness and softness of the person in his arms, and strode towards the large soft bed in the center of the bedroom.
"Ah—" Qin Qingcheng exclaimed, instinctively wrapping her arms around Luo Lingtian's neck. A hint of panic flashed in her eyes, but more than that, she couldn't hide her anticipation.
The next second, Luo Lingtian gently placed her on the soft bed, then leaned over and pressed down on her, his warm breath enveloping her completely...
