?Phone reading: He Mengqing slapped him hard, scolding, "What are you thinking about now? Some wonderful idea?" Qin, the young man, pretended innocence and asked, "Are you serious about trying IVF and becoming a virgin mother? Wow, that's so cutting-edge! I can't believe it—my mind is completely blown. I still think direct sperm injection is better. It'll make me bulkier, and I'll enjoy the process!" "Enjoy the process? Good luck with that!" the leader exclaimed, then added sharply, "Qin, I came to you specifically to solve a problem for me—not to hear you complain!" "Besides what I suggested just now, I don't have any other ideas," Qin said, sinking into the sofa. "You must come up with something—or I'll never stop talking to you," the leader threatened. He smiled and said, "How come you won't let up? Didn't you call Mr. Wei to tell him I've been strong-arming you? Don't you think, with his sharp eyes, he'd be able to see through you?" He Liang also smiled and pulled out his phone, saying, "Why don't we give it a try and see if Mr. Wei will believe us!" Qin, the young man, frowned: "You'd better not do that. Otherwise, no matter what happens, it'll all be your responsibility!" He Liang's smile grew even wider: "Afraid now, are you? Good! Then hurry up and give me some advice. As long as I make it through this, I'll stop bothering you—and I'll even have a little something to thank you!" Qin's eyes lit up: "What kind of thanks? Besides being with me, I won't accept anything else—just say it, heh!" "Go to hell!" He Liang pointed at the clothes on the floor. "You've got so many beautiful girls around you—how can you possibly be short of me? You need to learn contentment. As the saying goes, 'People who Qin Feng leapt off the sofa and took a step forward, saying, "Desire is the primary driving force behind social progress. I'll admit there are many beautiful women around me, but none have inspired me the way He has. So, yes, you've certainly been quite appealing to me." He Lǐ's face darkened further. "Stop talking so much! Come up with a plan right away. If I don't make it through this year, you won't even get to enjoy a good one!" How brutally fair—have I not already sacrificed myself to the He family, working tirelessly to fulfill my duties? Now, beyond work, I'm expected to manage all my personal matters as well. What's the point of that? When He Lǐ remained silent, she launched her final move: "I'm going to call my grandfather right now and tell him that not only has my heart been stolen by you, but even my body's purity has been taken!" Goodness, how many modern women are there who act like this? "Alright, alright—nothing more than just convincing them to drop the marriage pressure." "Qin Dashao smiled and said, 'Actually, this isn't that complicated. In recent years, it's become quite popular to rent a girlfriend back home. Why not rent a boyfriend instead? As the saying goes, 'With a generous reward, even a timid person will step up.' Whether it's a crown prince or a top-tier professional—so long as they perform well, they can easily win over anyone!' He Liang looked puzzled: 'That's really that simple!' Qin Dashao slammed the table: 'That's really that simple. Of course, if you'd chosen someone else, it would have been much harder. But who could you have picked but me? You should know that one of my girlfriends is a student from Beijing Film Academy. Just have her recommend a suitable male senior student to you, and you're done!' He Muqing frowned and thought for a moment, mentally agreeing that this was indeed a solid approach. Yet then she thought again—what if the other party revealed his true identity? After all, he wasn't dealing with an ordinary person—he was facing a real, serious contender. He'd probably be so nervous he'd have to pee his pants. If that happened, the whole effort would have been Her gaze turned once again to Qin, and she smiled, saying, "I think you're more reliable. Grandma has decided to give you a chance—come with me to my home and pretend to be my boyfriend. How does that sound?" Of course, she'd refuse. This was settled—brother is someone who values freedom and lives by it. He never does such things, no matter what the compensation. ... The next afternoon at noon, Pingyang City International Airport. Qin Feng, dressed in travel attire and wearing sunglasses, held a medium-sized suitcase in his hands, his head swaying like a windmill, his eyes beneath the glasses constantly scanning the surroundings. He scanned the scene thoroughly, taking in every beautiful woman, yet couldn't find where the leader was. He pulled out his phone and dialed a number: "Hey, can the leader be late? I've been waiting for you in the departure hall for half an hour. I'm here to do something for you—how can you expect me to wait for you like this?" "A lazy voice comes through the speaker: 'Qin Feng, won't you die if I don't tell you the truth? What have you been waiting for all this time? You've only just arrived—how about that? Honestly, I'm standing on the second floor, look toward nine o'clock—pay attention and raise your head!' I check—indeed, there stands a graceful young woman in a pale pink dress on the corridor leading to the second floor, tall and beautifully built—no one else could be it but He Liang. He smiles warmly and greets her: 'Director, if you've already arrived, why hide yourself? I've been searching for you all this time, thought you must have overslept!' 'You're the one who overslept. Such an important matter—I simply couldn't have overlooked it,' He Liang says, stepping down the stairs with elegant grace, her long legs clad in silk stockings and boots, moving with a steady, rhythmic pace." Qin, the younger brother, greeted with a crooked smile: "Manager, you've actually overestimated me. Though I must admit to myself that I'm an absolutely outstanding man, my grandfather knows me so well that this move of ours simply doesn't work." The manager had her own take: "Exactly because your grandfather knows you're a romantic, he doesn't doubt that you've been eyeing me all along—your constant presence and subtle efforts are quite natural." Alright, I can now raise my voice and declare to all of you: I've always upheld the legacy of Liu Xiaohui, and I've strictly followed the rule that rabbits don't eat grass from their own burrow—how could I possibly pursue someone close to me? Since you're so confident, I'll just go along with you and pretend we're performing a play. As for whether the audience believes us, that's entirely beyond my concern. "Let's go," he said with a sniff. "Let's go, and help me carry my suitcase," the beautiful woman said. "Why not?" Qin expressed his dissatisfaction. "Are you really my boyfriend now? Shouldn't you be helping me with my luggage?" Gazed at him with a white collar. Qin Shao chuckled, "Does that mean I can now exercise other boyfriend privileges—like kissing your lips, holding your hands, or touching your chest?... Well,咳, okay, I'm wrong. I'm really wrong. Your chest isn't at all small!" "Qin Feng, believe me or not—I'll fight you to the death!" Leader He said with stern intensity. "If you dare to botch this up, I'll turn into a vengeful ghost and never let you off!" I wiped my brow—being a ghost isn't going to spare me. This vow is truly deadly.
