Volume 1 Chapter 14: Miserably Slapped in the Face

  I changed the title of my book, from "My Beloved Wives" to "My Beloved Wife", the editor said that having a plural form is not good for recommendations, so I removed it. I'm really hurt, brothers and sisters, please give me some recommendation votes to comfort my wounded heart!

  "No, I'm just stating a fact." Shangguan Nian's smile was accompanied by a wave of his hand. The afternoon sunlight streaming through the door and window cast a golden glow on his face, giving it a subtle luster.

  Xin Yu's pupils constricted, and she reached out to touch the face of Shang Guan Neng Ren, smiling: "It's been a few days since we last met, and sister only now realizes that Little Neng Ren is even more handsome than before."

  As for Shangguan's appearance, it's very ordinary, extremely ordinary. If you throw him into a crowd, you won't be able to find that kind of ordinariness. Even if he were a thief on the wanted list, no one would be able to catch him.

  But that was in the past.

  Ever since being hit on the head by "Decathlon" and falling unconscious that day, Shang Guan's physical condition has been fully repaired and improved by the system, not only his strength and endurance have evolved, but also his appearance.

  At present, Shangguan Neng still doesn't know that as his ten abilities are upgraded step by step, every time he upgrades a level, the system will do a thorough repair of his body. In the future, Shangguan Neng's physical functions will be strengthened and evolved, and his appearance will also undergo corresponding adjustments.

  To put it simply, if a person's appearance is also divided into seven levels, the current Shangguan Yubao and his ability correspond to F level, which is ordinary.

  If he rises to E-level in the future, it's generally handsome, D-level is slightly handsome, C-level is handsome, B-level is very handsome, A-level is extremely handsome, and when he reaches S-level, that's invincible handsomeness.

  This is also one of the extra benefits for the host, fortunately, Shangguan Nian didn't absorb beauty or makeup abilities, otherwise it would be a waste of an ability.

  Xin Yuanyuan's hands were soft and warm, stroking his face, making Shang Guan Ren close his eyes comfortably and chuckle: "Yuanyuan sister, don't comfort me, the whole world knows what I look like. If someone of my level is also considered handsome, then this world would be filled with handsome men."

  "Who said that? I just think Xiaoneng is handsome." Xin Yuanyuan smoothed out Shangguan Nengren's hair and adjusted his collar, smiling: "Yeah, especially handsome. Let others take a look, our little Nengren's face is as delicate as a woman's, a man with a feminine appearance, a blessed person indeed!"

  "Hmm..." Being told that he looked more like a girl than a boy, Nangong Yiren recalled the incident at the beauty salon that day. It was really crazy, being a woman seemed to attract more attention than being a man, this world was truly insane.

  At that moment, a white Maserati sports car stopped in front of the cake shop's parking lot. The door opened and a man in his thirties, dressed in a suit and tie, with slicked-back hair and wearing black aviator sunglasses, stepped out holding a bouquet of red roses. He pushed open the door and saw Xin Yuanyuan. His face immediately lit up with a smile as he removed his sunglasses and hung them on his chest pocket. With both hands holding the flowers, he said: "Fresh flowers for a beautiful woman, Yuanyuan, I'm giving these to you, wishing you'll always be as lovely as fresh flowers."

  "Huh? Who is this guy?" When Upper Official saw this man, he instinctively felt a belly full of anger. Having seen too many things online, Upper Official thought to himself: "How can this young master look like he's been trampled by pigs' hooves and be such an idiot, especially with that X-second-generation arrogant air about him that's so obvious from the inside out?" Just looking at him made Upper Official want to give him two slaps and then trample him with seven or eight hundred feet.

  Xin Yu's eyebrows slightly furrowed as she said softly, "Sorry, I'm a bit allergic to pollen, could you please hold it further away?"

  It's so cold! This remark made the capable official feel a chill in his heart. Let's put ourselves in his shoes and think about it, if he were this young master who had sent flowers but got rejected, what would he do?

  After a moment's consideration, Shangguan Nian thought to himself and shook his head secretly. With his understanding of himself, he estimated that he would awkwardly smile and then leave with the flower.

  Shangguan Ying is just an ordinary person, with very traditional views on both money and love.

  Money, as long as it's enough to spend.

  Love cannot be forced.

  If he likes a girl, but the girl doesn't like him back, he will quietly walk away and be depressed for a while before throwing himself into his next relationship. However, he's not a saint and won't wish happiness to the girl who didn't like him.

  You don't like me, why should I bless you? I'm sick!

  Shangguan Nengren may not have any demeanor, and he may be petty-minded, but at least he won't force his emotions. But this young master in front of me has an unchanged expression, casually throwing the rose out the door, showing off how rich he is, treating money like dirt, smiling and saying: "Sorry, I didn't know, Yuanyuan, I've booked a table at Shangri-La, can you do me the honor of having dinner with me tonight?"

  The official was so shocked that his eyes were wide with amazement and his mouth was agape, what a thick-skinned person.

  Xin Yu's tone was cold and detached as she said, "Sorry, Mr. Wang, I have a prior engagement tonight."

  The previously calm and collected young master's face changed upon hearing this, and he forced out a smile, saying: "Yuanyuan, I know you have opinions about my past behavior, but since seeing you, I've sworn that this lifetime will be one of not marrying anyone but you. Moreover, I've already changed, and from then on, I haven't contacted any of those women again. You must believe me."

  Xin Yu's voice was cold and mocking as she said, "Mr. Wang, you should know that I'm just a widow with a child, do you think I would believe you? Even if I did, you really wouldn't marry anyone else, but would your family agree?"

  "Yuanyuan, don't worry about this. In terms of emotions, my family has never interfered. They just hope I marry a good woman and that's it. Nothing else matters. And Yimeng is very cute, I like her very much. I will love her as if she were my own daughter."

  These words sound touching, but the capable official on the side always has a kind of unclean intuition, as if this young master's pursuit of Xin Yu Yuan has other unspeakable secrets.

  Is it a woman's intuition? Sounds like nonsense, Shangguan Abao is a pure man, how could he have that kind of thing, but for some reason, this feeling is extremely strong, Shangguan Abao is very puzzled. Could it be that after being a fake girl for a day, I would have the "woman's intuition" killer? That's nonsense! It's better to believe in Zhang Zhaizhong's crow mouth, which is more reliable.

  Xin Yu smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Wang, thank you for your kindness, but I think we're not quite suitable. There are many women better than me, and I believe you'll find a better woman."

  "No! Yuanyuan, listen to me, no matter how beautiful other women are, they're nothing but dirt in my eyes. Only you are the pearl in my heart. Yuanyuan, marry me! I'm willing to spend my whole life protecting you, caring for you, loving you, and making you happy for the rest of your life, okay?" The young master said excitedly, pulling out a small box from his coat pocket and opening it, revealing a pink diamond in front of Xin Yuanyuan.

  The young master knelt on one knee, like a movie proposal scene, holding the colorful diamond high above his head, gazing deeply at Xin Yuanyuan with magnetic voice: "Yuanyuan, I've been preparing this ring for a long time. Will you wear it?"

  At this time, there were onlookers in the cake shop. Seeing this scene, they were instantly moved by the "true feelings" of the young master, especially the female customers, who were shining with envy and staring at Xin Yuanyuan, wishing that they could be the one standing in that position.

  "What's good about a widow? Is this man blind?" The woman was jealous, and in this small space, almost all the female customers showed resentment.

  If it were a twenty-year-old girl, she might have been moved by the romantic proposal in front of her and agreed to it. Xinyu Yuan was also somewhat moved for a moment, but she resisted this romance, turned around and walked behind the counter, saying to those customers who were watching the excitement: "Our store is launching a new cake today, welcome everyone to try it."

  Directly leaving the young master aside, what a ruthless move!

  The young master's thick skin was also a bit unbearable, his face pale and uncertain. Director Neng Ren felt very sympathetic towards him. Although he might not have had pure intentions, being humiliated in front of so many people made Director Neng Ren wonder, if it were himself, he would definitely want to jump off the building and kill himself. A man's life is all about face; once you've lost face, what's the point of living?

  "Go kill yourself! Go die quickly!" Upper official Nengren was muttering a curse, he was ruthless enough, if someone didn't please his eyes, he would curse them to death.

  "Xin Yu Yuan! You're finished! You're finished!" The young master finally shed his golden disguise, revealing his evil appearance, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Xin Yu Yuan, a ruthless cold smile playing on the corners of his mouth: "You'll regret this!"

  After saying that, the young master put the ring into his pocket and strode out of the cake shop in big strides, driving away in a Maserati and disappearing into the distance.

  "Shameless! You're still so stingy! Can't even bear to throw away a ring, what a big-headed garlic nose!" Just when the atmosphere in the store was getting a bit dull, Shang Guan suddenly shouted out.

  "Get out of here! Don't think throwing a bunch of wilted roses makes you rich! A bunch of wilted roses only costs tens of dollars, anyone can afford it! You toad wants to eat swan meat and also wants to hook up with my sister? Go home and hook up with your mom instead!"

  Xiang Guan Nengren cursed and scolded loudly, stunning everyone in the store. Seeing Xiang Guan Nengren's red face and thick neck as he stood at the door, spewing insults, Xin Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment before rushing over to pull him back: "Little Nengren, stop causing trouble, you've cursed enough, it's sister who will lose face."

  "Hey, sis, don't bother with that trash. If he really had money, a diamond ring would be nothing to him, it's just a few tens of thousands of yuan! Earlier, if he was a real man, he would have smashed the diamond ring and I could have looked up to him. But now, he can't even bear to part with this small trinket, humph! I think he's not a good guy at all. He comes in here driving a Maserati, trying to swindle people. Nowadays, you can rent a car for 1,000 yuan a day and drive it away, that thing is definitely not something good. Greasy and painted up, thinking he's some kind of successful person! I think he's just a small-time scammer who cheats people out of their money and women."

  After hearing what Gao Nai's husband said, all the customers in the store suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's how it is!"

  "I thought he was a rich young master, but it turns out he's just a scammer with a pretty face."

  "Cut! I knew all along that wasn't going to be any good."

  "The young and innocent-looking one doesn't have a good heart, this saying is too right."

  "You really think renting a sports car makes you rich? Pfft! What nonsense."

  "There are many scammers nowadays!"
