Chapter 18: Goddess Turned Femboy?! “How could I possibly drug him?…”
“Holy sh*t! What is that?!” Feng Chengyu was shoved forward uncontrollably, tripping over something lying horizontally, crying out in pain.
He had just turned his head and hadn’t even had time to stand up when a pair of bare arms wrapped around his neck.
It was a woman whose chest was pulled down to reveal a bit too much skin, with seductive red lips and a hazy gaze, rubbing against him.
Feng Chengyu pushed at her arms, unable to break free. He looked up and locked eyes with Lu Xunye, who had just walked in from outside.
He quickly raised his hands from the slippery skin, his heart pounding like a drum.
“Listen to me! It’s not me! I didn’t mean to! I don’t have a fetish for stealing my friend’s wife!!! Trust me!”
A scented candle burned on the bedside table not far away, filling the room with a faint, elegant fragrance.
Lu Xunye looked down, chin slightly raised, and asked in confusion, “A guy?”
His gaze drifted to a spot in the air, asking, “Goddess?”
The little tuft of hair on the system’s head instantly stood up, and it hurriedly cleared its name.
ăXiao Ai doesn’t know why this is happening! The plot about the original owner was glossed over in the source material, with too little detail, plus the manga had a rushed ending. It’s not this System’s fault!!!ă
“Of course it’s a guy!” Feng Chengyu looked like he had nothing left to live for. “From the moment I was born until now! For a full 23 years, I absolutely haven’t changed my orientation! Lu Xunye, save me!!!”
Lu Xunye was pulled back to reality by his wailing. He bent down and grabbed his arm to pull him up, but couldn’t move him; he was truly being hugged too tightly. “…”
During the struggle, several red lip prints appeared on Young Master Feng’s face.
Lu Xunye knocked the “woman” unconscious, only to see Feng Chengyu collapse on the ground, disheartened like a chaste woman who had been violated. A tear rolled down from his eye as he choked out, “I’m not clean anymore, wuwu…”
“…” Lu Xunye opened his mouth to comfort him but gave up in the end, asking instead, “Did you drug him?”
His response was broken sobbing. Lu Xunye called him a few times, but the other party was clearly immersed in his own world, unable to extricate himself.
Lu Xunye was speechless. He went over and couldn’t resist slapping him: “He’s a guy!”
He held back his strength, so Feng Chengyu only felt pain for half a second before snapping out of it and staring at him blankly: “A guy?!”
Lu Xunye had just nodded when the person who had stopped crying became even sadder, mumbling indistinctly, “This Young Master was kissed by a femboy… Ji… me, wuwuwu.”
Lu Xunye sat cross-legged beside him to persuade him. “Even if a woman kissed you, would you die? Could it turn you straight?”
“You don’t understand, you weren’t the one kissed by him!” Feng Chengyu glared at him fiercely through teary eyes, his voice trembling with sobs.
“He’s your goddess, not mine! What kind of damn taste do you have, liking a… ugh.” The words were too dirty for him to say.
Lu Xunye’s gaze shifted down to the face of the so-called “goddess.”
Makeup messy, face flushed, eyeliner clearly not waterproof and smudged black by tears irritated from the corners of the eyes, mouth red from lipstick smearsâlooking like a ghost.
At this moment, he had to admit Feng Chengyu had a point.
Indeed, what kind of taste did the original owner have!
But if this part of the original book’s plot concerning the original owner was from the original owner’s perspective…
Being cheated out of money and feelings by a cross-dressing scammer, and finally jumping off a building due to cyberbullying, hmm… that is pretty tragic.
Waiting here for Feng Chengyu to cry for over ten minutes, he finally stopped with difficulty. Lu Xunye glanced at the room, feeling hot, and unbuttoned the top button of his collar: “This hotel’s heating is pretty good.”
Hearing him say this, Feng Chengyu also felt a bit hot, heat rising to his face. Forgetting to cry, he wiped his face and exchanged a glance with Lu Xunye.
After a moment of silence, both of their eyes widened in unison: “Sh*t!”
The next second, the two who were sitting and slumped sprang up, searching for something in the room. Feng Chengyu dashed into the bathroom.
Lu Xunye walked to the bedside, looking at the candle burning with a flame on the bedside table. The fragrance was pungent, making him feel increasingly dizzy.
“It’s over, it’s over!” Feng Chengyu came over. Lu Xunye doused the candle with a cup of water, and splashed the remaining half cup directly onto Feng Chengyu’s face: “Are you awake yet?”
“…Pfft.” Feng Chengyu spat out the water, the icy sensation making him shiver instantly.
“Did you order this?” Lu Xunye looked displeased, his eyes dark and unreadable.
“F*ck, how do these idiots do things!” Feng Chengyu didn’t mind being splashed with water.
Once the call connected, he started cursing loudly, eventually making his mouth dry. Leaving a sentence “Come clean up this mess immediately,” he hurriedly hung up.
“It wasn’t me! I didn’t tell anyone to do this kind of thing!” Feng Chengyu wanted to cry but had no tears left. “I know you like her incredibly much. Before, if I even mentioned her, you looked like you wanted to eat me.”
“How could I possibly drug him? If anything, I’d drug you two.”
Lu Xunye shot him a sharp look, and Feng Chengyu instantly fell silent.
After a pause, he quickly added, “Maybe this is just a little aphrodisiac gadget provided by the hotel for fun, nothing to do with me.”
Lu Xunye’s face darkened, and he exhaled a breath of stale air. “Handle it yourself.”
With that, he stood up and left directly.
Feng Chengyu shouted from behind, “Hey, why are you leaving? There’s a banquet downstairs, don’t you want to play?”
His answer was the door slamming shut with a “thud.” Feng Chengyu scratched his head. “No moment of passion anymore? Did losing his memory change his taste too?”
Thinking this, he wiped his face in disgust and shivered. “Better that it changed.”
Feng Chengyu rubbed his reddening face. He really couldn’t stay a second longer. Since he had called his subordinates over, thinking of this, he slipped away too.
Lu Xunye walked out the door and leaned against the wall at the corner to steady himself.
The banquet hall downstairs was full of guests. Amidst the melodious music was a game of wealth and power among the elite.
Haute couture, expensive jewelry, the crisp clinking of red wine glasses, exchanging pleasantries on the surface while secretly competing and probing.
Present were successful middle-aged men and women, but mostly young masters and missesâreserve heirs of wealthy familiesâbrought out by their elders to expand their social networks.
To put it plainly, looking for marriage partners to achieve commercial alliances and consolidate status.
Elders chatted happily on the side, discussing business topics, watching their children wearing exquisite masks, talking, laughing, or dancing together.
Wearing masks was ostensibly about fate, making friends by feeling, but in reality, they tacitly knew each other’s identities; they just found it amusing, treating it as fun.
Into this scene of feasting and revelry burst a tall, exceptionally handsome boy.
The girl who noticed him first whispered to the person next to her, discussing whose young master or whose lover this was.
But Lu Xunye, the center of attention, hurriedly pushed open the door and left the banquet hall.
Exiting the hotel, Lu Xunye recklessly scooped up cold water from the fountain pool and splashed it on his face.
His hair, soaked, was pushed back by his hand, revealing a smooth forehead and exposing features that were both charming and full of aggression.
A car drove past behind him.
Inside the car, the atmosphere was oppressive. Shen Yunqian saw a figure outside the window, finding it familiar, and couldn’t help but turn back to look.
The next second, a harsh voice rang in his ear.
“Do you have to be so cheap? Just any random man hooks your soul away.”
Shen Yunqian withdrew his gaze, lowering his eyes to hide his emotions. It took a while for his tight throat to produce a sound.
“Last time.”
“Heh,” Si Jinyan scoffed. His well-defined fingers tapped lazily on his tailored black suit pants, his posture arrogant.
“Do I need to remind you? You, a young master of a fallen family, a discard sold into my hands by your own uncle’s family, what right do you have to talk to me about ‘last time’? Is it your arrogance as the Young Master Shen?”
He expected to see Shen Yunqian’s desperate eyes, humiliated enough to want to kill him but powerless to do so.
This would give him immense satisfaction, venting the gloom experienced over the past years.
But in reality, Shen Yunqian didn’t even spare him a glance, only saying indifferently, “We’ve been even for a long time. You were the one who lied to me first…”
“Even?!” Si Jinyan laughed in extreme anger. He grabbed Shen Yunqian’s arm and slammed him hard against the car door; just hearing the noise sounded painful.
“I lied to you? Then tell me what I lied to you about?! Your parents caused my mother’s death; their car accident was karma! What right do you have to say we’re even!”
“Young Master Shen! Did living too comfortably make you forget what your Shen family did to me in the past?! Shouldn’t I hate you!”
Shen Yunqian was choked by his hands around his neck, breathing difficult, face flushed red, ears ringing. Through blurred vision, he saw the man’s bloodshot eyes.
What exactly happened before? Did he do something wrong to Si Jinyan?
The car turned sharply, and then his neck was abruptly released. Both people in the back seat were thrown back against the backrest.
Assistant Xiao Zhang asked tremblingly, “Sorry, President Si, are you okay?”
Receiving no reply, the car speed became even steadier.
Si Jinyan lifted his eyelids to see Shen Yunqian in the rearview mirror, feeling he had gone a bit too far, so he stopped.
“No unit dares to hire you, no degree, friends and relatives staying awayâthe only thing of value you have now is this face.”
No one hiring him was naturally because they didn’t want to offend the Si family.
After Shen Yunqian left that day, Si Jinyan felt disgusted that he had reacted, and guilt toward Jian Luoqing rose in his heart.
And that difficult mysterious person kept refusing to sign the contract with their company.
The outside world only knew he controlled the Si family, but didn’t know those old things were always causing him trouble.
Just dealing with these matters kept him extremely busy, not to mention the shortage in the company’s capital chain couldn’t be filled in a short time.
The location for this banquet was the most luxurious hotel in Haicheng, and also a property under this mysterious person.
Rumor had it he was the president of Fuxian Group. Because this person’s identity was extremely confidential, no one knew if he was male or female, old or young.
Its subsidiary, Dinghuan Media, had created countless famous artists and hit movies and TV shows, leading the media industry.
Everyone knew the entertainment industry was a mixed bag.
So when Si Jinyan learned this mysterious person was interested in Shen Yunqian.
He had thought of sending the person over as a favor, but soon gave up.
However, Shen Yunqian was becoming more and more disobedient, and besides, this was what Shen Yunqian owed him. Thus, Si Jinyan felt even more justified.
Hearing his words, Shen Yunqian touched his neck, knowing the other party’s purpose. He smiled bitterly, “Is there someone even President Si can’t handle?”
Si Jinyan took it as a provocation and said slowly, “It seems your wings have hardened over these two years, and you don’t want to know your brother’s whereabouts.”
Intense emotions swirled in his heart, pressing down until Shen Yunqian couldn’t breathe. His body trembled slightly, and his fingers slowly curled into fists.
A half-face mask was thrown at him. Si Jinyan ordered coldly, “Put it on.”
The car stopped before the red carpet at the hotel entrance. Lu Xunye seemed to sense something, looking back towards there.
The car door opened. A man in a black suit got out first, followed closely by a man in a white suit.
He just glanced casually before withdrawing his gaze. Having just seen the hypocrisy of the people in the banquet hall, he sighed in his heart: Rich people are quite good at putting on a show.
He had just been curious about who this so-called “goddess” was. Now that he had seen, apart from the shock about the gender, there was nothing else.
Before Lu Xunye could prepare to leave, he felt a weight on his shoulder. The system sat cross-legged on his shoulder.
Immediately after, a notification sound, low like a ghost claiming a life, rang in Lu Xunye’s ear.
ăRandom Mission Released: Please display your charm in the banquet and take the Protagonist Shou away before the banquet ends, triggering a sense of crisis in the Protagonist Gong, achieving the “Amazing the World with a Single Feat” achievement.ă
