Urban: It turns out this is a comprehensive world

The atmosphere inside the private room remained silent for a long time, as if there was an invisible tension in the air.

Finally, Song Xinyan broke the silence, looking directly at Qin Qingcheng with a scrutinizing tone: "Qin Qingcheng, you certainly know how to strike first. But I'm quite curious, in the last life, the Qin family was personally suppressed by Luo Lingtian, ultimately leading to the family's decline. Now you've taken the initiative to move into Lingtian Manor. Could it be that you're planning to find an opportunity to take revenge on Lingtian?"

"No need to test her anymore." Qin Qingcheng glanced at Dongfang Mingyue, who was sitting to the side with a calm expression as if it were none of her business, and directly brought up the topic, "I don't believe that when you talked to Mingyue last night, she didn't tell you that in my past life I was controlled by some inexplicable force, which is why I helped Xiao Chen and broke off my engagement with Luo Lingtian."

"Ha, empty words are no proof. How can you prove it?" Song Xinyan sneered, her scrutiny intensifying.

"I can't prove it." Qin Qingcheng smiled faintly, her tone frank. "But between Ling Tian and me, what's meant to happen has already happened. Whether you believe it or not is irrelevant."

She truly had no way to prove that she was "controlled by a power"—a power that was invisible and intangible, and all the manipulation had occurred in her past life, leaving no trace now.

Moreover, she doesn't need to prove anything to anyone. She only needs to know her own feelings and what she wants in this life.

"What?" Upon hearing the words "what was going to happen has already happened," Song Xinyan's eyes narrowed slightly, but her expression remained largely unchanged, clearly indicating that she had been mentally prepared.

But Dongfang Mingyue was completely different. She sat up abruptly, her eyes instantly turning somewhat unfriendly, her chest heaving slightly, clearly provoked by those words.

You must know that in her past life, she was Luo Lingtian's first woman and his only wife. Now, Qin Qingcheng has taken the "first" position first. How could she not lose her composure?

Moreover, if what Qin Qingcheng said before was true, she is still Luo Lingtian's nominal fiancée, and it is a foregone conclusion that the two will get married and she will become Luo Lingtian's wife in the future.

"Don't get so agitated." Seeing Dongfang Mingyue's face flushed red with anger and her eyes slightly red, Qin Qingcheng remained calm and composed. She picked up her coffee, took a sip, and slowly said, "I can roughly guess why you've come to me: besides testing whether I want to take revenge on Ling Tian, ​​the core reason is to confirm whether I will interfere with your future relationship with him, right?"

After a pause, Qin Qingcheng put down her coffee cup, her expression turning serious: "I can tell you clearly that I have never had any intention of taking revenge on Ling Tian. I told Mingyue before that breaking off my engagement with Ling Tian and helping Xiao Chen in my past life were not my true intentions. Now I reiterate it again, believe it or not."

"As for the matter between you and Ling Tian, ​​I will not interfere or obstruct it." Upon hearing this, Song Xinyan and Dongfang Mingyue were both slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Qin Qingcheng to be so decisive.

Seeing this, Qin Qingcheng continued, "However, if you can really win over Ling Tian and become his people, then I hope we can form an alliance."

"An alliance? What do you mean?" the two asked in unison, their eyes full of confusion.

They could understand why Qin Qingcheng would agree not to stop them from getting close to Luo Lingtian.

Even if what Qin Qingcheng said is true, and that her actions in her past life were manipulated by external forces, the fact that she "helped Xiao Chen and betrayed Luo Lingtian" is still a stain that she cannot erase.

Based on their understanding of Luo Lingtian, even if he knew that Qin Qingcheng was being manipulated, as long as Qin Qingcheng truly loved him in this life, she might not care about the stain of her past life. However, Qin Qingcheng might not be able to confirm this, and they could completely use this to manipulate Qin Qingcheng.

Furthermore, although Luo Lingtian is a near-perfect man, he is ultimately not truly without flaws.

They all knew that Luo Lingtian wasn't averse to beautiful women; it was just that he had relatively strong self-control. What he disliked most were women who approached him because they coveted his status, wealth, or other external qualities. This was probably a common problem among most wealthy and powerful men.

But what they really couldn't understand was the meaning of the "alliance" proposed by Qin Qingcheng. They originally thought that even if Qin Qingcheng didn't stop them, they would still be in competition with her. Why would she take the initiative to propose an alliance?

"Is this so hard to understand?" Qin Qingcheng shook her head helplessly when she saw the two of them looking puzzled. "You two know better than I do how outstanding Luo Lingtian is."

He is not only incredibly powerful and talented, but more importantly, he cherishes and is tolerant of those around him. Such a man is destined to attract more outstanding women. If we don't form an alliance and maintain a balance in the future, who knows how many "sisters" he will bring us.

"As for trying to stop him by getting angry, throwing a tantrum, or even threatening to leave, I don't think it will be very effective," Qin Qingcheng said calmly, with a hint of clear self-awareness in her tone.

In her view, Luo Lingtian might tolerate her anger and tantrums once or twice because he cares about her, but if it happens too often, this tolerance will inevitably wear off, eventually making him feel annoyed and even affecting their relationship.

Little did Qin Qingcheng know that she was overthinking things; Luo Lingtian was not the type to be fickle at all.

Although it would trouble him if Qin Qingcheng insisted on preventing him from being with other women he truly loved, he would never abandon her unless she did something unforgivable like betraying him or hurting the people he cared about.

However, if Qin Qingcheng really wants to prevent Luo Lingtian from falling in love with or even having relationships with other women, then it depends on whether she has enough ability to meet Luo Lingtian's emotional needs.

Given Luo Lingtian's personality, if he were to meet another woman who truly moves him and whom he genuinely loves, he would never hide it from Qin Qingcheng. Instead, he would openly tell her and find a way to get her to agree.

As for what method to use... hehe, naturally it's to make Qin Qingcheng clearly understand that she alone cannot bear all his love and tenderness.

"If that's the case, then forming an alliance is indeed the safest option right now."

A knowing glint flashed in Dongfang Mingyue's eyes, her red lips curved slightly, and she had already made up her mind.

After all, in her previous life, after she got together with Luo Lingtian, didn't Luo Lingtian still have Song Xinyan as his confidante?

To put it bluntly, it's just that Song Xinyan couldn't get over her own inner hurdle in her previous life; otherwise, the two of them would have already shared a husband and been together day and night.

As for why she didn't stop it, was it because she was afraid of being abandoned by Luo Lingtian?

joke!

Dongfang Mingyue scoffed inwardly. Although she deeply loved Luo Lingtian and would be heartbroken without him, she was by no means unable to live without him.

What truly made her compromise was Luo Lingtian's damn fighting prowess. Only after being completely "conquered" by him did she realize that the saying circulating online and in novels, "There are no fields that are over-cultivated, only oxen that die from exhaustion," was not entirely accurate.

If she were to bear Luo Lingtian's tempestuous "whipping" alone, her "fertile field" would eventually be completely ruined by this strong "bull." Therefore, having another sister to share the burden would be a win-win situation.

She knew perfectly well that the reason modern women couldn't tolerate men cheating was twofold: firstly, the rise of women's rights and the deep-rooted concept of monogamy; and secondly, the fundamental reason was that those men were incompetent, unable to even satisfy their own women, yet they had the audacity to seek out other women. No one could tolerate that.

Ke Luo Lingtian is different; his strength is enough to make any woman willingly compromise.

"But speaking of which, Mingyue, you really know how to play games. In order to get close to Luo Lingtian, you actually went and directed a whole show yourself. Your methods are quite clever."

With the future arrangements between the three and Luo Lingtian finalized, the tense atmosphere completely relaxed. Qin Qingcheng recalled the farce of last night, picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, and looked at Dongfang Mingyue with a playful, half-smiling expression.

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Faced with Qin Qingcheng's teasing, Dongfang Mingyue waved her hand dismissively and explained frankly, "The main problem is that things have deviated too much in this life. According to the trajectory of the previous life, it should have been that good-for-nothing Xiao Chen who orchestrated a hero-saves-the-beauty drama to get close to me, just like how he tricked Yu Bingyu back then."

"However, the methods he used on me were different from those he used on Yu Bingyu. In my previous life, he deliberately had people cause trouble at my Bright Moon Bar, intending to take advantage of the chaos to appear as a hero and help me resolve the trouble."

"But he never expected that Luo Lingtian would be drinking with his men from the Heavenly God Palace at a bar that day. Before he could even show up, those troublemakers were dealt with cleanly and efficiently by Luo Lingtian's men. It was because of this incident that I became acquainted with Luo Lingtian."

At this point, Dongfang Mingyue's tone was full of disdain, and a cold sneer curled her red lips: "At first, I suspected that Luo Lingtian had orchestrated it himself, so I specially sent people to investigate, only to find out that it was that clown Xiao Chen who did it. Ha, he really does rely on one trick to get by, thinking that this clichéd act can fool everyone?"

Even if Luo Lingtian hadn't intervened and Xiao Chen, that good-for-nothing, had actually become a hero, she would never have been fooled like Yu Bingyu.

What is the status of her Bright Moon Bar in Hai City? Who in both the legitimate and underworld circles doesn't give her some face? How could she not thoroughly investigate when a group of people suddenly caused trouble? Xiao Chen's little schemes are nothing but showing off in front of an expert in her eyes.

Ultimately, it's because Xiao Chen has always been used to things going smoothly. If Dongfang Mingyue knew how many women he had won over with this tactic, she probably wouldn't have thought that way.

Xiao Chen, of course, had no idea that this tactic wouldn't work on Dongfang Mingyue, so after the plan failed, he felt even more resentful towards Luo Lingtian.
