She nodded. Ling Yun was indeed a womanizer, but the women around him were far more attractive and sophisticated than these sluts. Naturally, he looked down on this bunch of worthless bastards.
The woman left, and soon the men gathered around her again.
Don't misunderstand, they certainly don't have any strange thoughts about Ling Yun; they just want to curry favor with him.
One less enemy, one more friend. What's more, they can help him deal with the protagonist in the future. Ling Yun showed enough goodwill, which made them all happy and praised Chairman Ling for being down-to-earth.
Given Ling Yun's current status, it's normal for him to be arrogant. If it were them, they would probably be strutting around like crazy.
As the head of the family, Tao Chuan has countless eyes on him. In addition, his sons are not very promising, and his daughter is too "unconventional" and is often ridiculed behind his back. In a few years, he may lose his position as the head of the family.
Now that Tao Yuting has brought Ling Yun, no one dares to act recklessly for the time being. However, they are still unwilling to give up and try to win Ling Yun over through the women around them.
Tao Yuting never liked this kind of atmosphere, so she secretly tugged at Ling Yun's sleeve.
"Should we go first?"
"Row."
The two got up, said goodbye to Tao Chuan, and left.
Stepping outside, Tao Yuting took a deep breath of fresh air and sighed that tonight had been truly remarkable.
“These guys are typical bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. I don’t even want to think about what would happen if someone else came instead.”
What about someone else? If it were the protagonist, they'd probably be attacked the moment they walked in, and then they'd have to pretend they didn't care. Then, halfway through the banquet, an unexpected situation arises, and the protagonist comes to their aid, changing everyone's perception of them—a seamless display of bravado and a slap in the face.
Unfortunately, the Tao family encountered him. With the appearance of this major villain, even if they had grievances against him, apart from the protagonist and the female lead, even the supporting characters didn't dare to say a word.
"Lingyun, are you full?"
"not yet."
"Want to come to your place for dinner?"
Ling Yun grabbed her small hand and pulled her closer to him: "Are you craving Ling Lan's cooking?"
"Yes, there is some. I don't know if she added something extra, but it's addictive after just one bite."
"Walk."
Ling Yun was actually also interested in Ling Lan's type. Recently, he had been going out mostly to run errands, so Ling Lan hadn't been following him around all the time. Instead, she was secretly protecting the other female leads.
He asked Xiao Ai to send a telepathic message to Ling Lan, and the maid immediately went to the kitchen to start preparing after receiving the message.
Bai Xin and Wu Qianyi, who had just finished showering, curiously entered the kitchen wearing slippers.
"Sister Linglan, why are you cooking again?"
"Master will bring Teacher Tao over later."
"Sister Tao!" Bai Xin immediately perked up. "Didn't they go to a banquet? Why are they coming back for dinner?"
Ling Lan skillfully stirred the dishes in the pan: "The master didn't say."
Bai Xin winked at Wu Qianyi, who looked somewhat bewildered and whispered, "What's wrong?"
"Does your husband's pharmacy have that kind of medicine?"
When Lingyun has nothing to do, he will prepare some medicine powders and ointments, which he usually stores in his space. However, he still set up a pharmacy at home, where he keeps a backup of each medicine he prepares.
"What medicine?"
"Oh, it's the kind of thing that makes women crave it!"
"Hey, didn't I read in a science article that all these kinds of drugs are fake?"
"Silly girl, your husband is a miracle doctor, what medicine can't he concoct? Come on, let's go take a look!"
Bai Xin is younger than Wu Qianyi, but she has far more clever ideas than Wu Qianyi, who is more like a well-behaved girl who only knows how to bury herself in her work.
The two women glanced at Ling Lan, who was busy in the kitchen, and then slipped away one after the other to Ling Yun's pharmacy.
Their little actions naturally didn't escape Ling Lan's notice, and she overheard their conversation, but she didn't intend to stop them.
In her view, helping Lingyun expand his harem was the duty of all the women.
Inside the pharmacy, there were several rows of metal cabinets with the names of the medicines and precautions posted on them.
Wu Qianyi, being an assistant, had excellent eyesight and quickly spotted one of the drawers.
"Springtime Intoxication Pill?"
"This name sounds so shady!" Bai Xin rushed over and pulled open the drawer.
Inside was a small bottle. After removing the stopper, the school beauty poured out a few pills.
Wu Qianyi carefully read the instructions, which stated that just one pill was enough to render a female martial artist powerless and trapped in an inescapable state. However, the higher the cultivation level, the shorter the duration of the effect, and it had to be taken orally to be effective.
"Oral administration? That's easy!"
Bai Xin had an idea. She figured Sister Jiu Tao probably didn't want to drink it anymore, so she would mix it into her drink later.
They put the bottle and drawer back to their original state, pretended they hadn't come over, and slipped out with the pills.
Twenty minutes later, Ling Yun and Tao Yuting arrived home. He had been drinking, and Tao Yuting was driving. Compared to Ling Shuang, Tao Yuting was a much better driver, and the journey was smooth and well-behaved.
Upon entering, Tao Yuting saw Ling Lan, dressed in a maid outfit, standing at the door to greet her, and thought she had entered some kind of themed cafe.
"Master, welcome back!"
Ling Lan was always cold to everyone except Ling Yun, only nodding to Tao Yuting.
Tao Yuting had met her before and knew that she was just that kind of person. After changing her shoes, she practically ran to the dining table.
"Sister Tao, come on, have a drink!"
Bai Xin came out of the room and placed the cup in front of her.
Tao Yuting looked down at the bubbling orange juice and her lips twitched: "Bai Xin, is this drink expired?"
"No, I'm fine!"
Bai Xin blushed slightly. She never expected that the pill would bubble when dropped into the drink, just like an effervescent tablet. Something seemed wrong.
Ling Yun walked over and almost burst out laughing at her. She pressed her head down to stop her from causing trouble.
Seeing that her plan had fallen through, Bai Xin frowned and took the cup to the kitchen to pour it out.
Seeing that Bai Xin's operation had failed, Wu Qianyi was about to implement Plan B when the girl pushed and dragged her back to the room.
"What's the matter?"
"Sister Tao saw right through me." Bai Xin tugged at a strand of hair. "My husband even told me not to meddle in things that don't concern me!"
She imitated Ling Yun's tone, and Wu Qianyi couldn't help but laugh. Seeing Bai Xin pouting, she finally couldn't help but burst out laughing while clutching her stomach.
Bai Xin couldn't stand it, so she immediately rushed over and tackled her to the ground.
"You little brat, Wu Qianyi, just you wait! Tonight, my husband and I will deal with you together!"
Chapter 81 Payment of Remuneration
With no annoying relatives and no father pressuring her to get married, Tao Yuting felt like she had arrived in paradise after enjoying the meal.
Ling Yun always finishes all the dishes Ling Lan makes. He used to be a picky eater and didn't eat much of the side dishes, but now he eats them all up.
"I'm too full to walk."
Tao Yuting rubbed her stomach; her once flat abdomen was now slightly bulging.
"Don't leave tonight, stay in the same room as last time?"
The beautiful teacher actually wanted to have another breakfast, and since she didn't have to work tomorrow, it was Saturday, she agreed without much hesitation.
Ling Lan brought her a well-fitting nightgown, and Tao Yuting took the clothes and towel into the bathroom.
She was cautious and locked the door from the inside, but Ling Yun never intended to come in at all.
She didn't know whether to be glad that Ling Yun was a good person or to lament her lack of attractiveness, because she didn't run into Ling Yun until she finished showering and returned to her room.
She couldn't sleep for a while, so she lay in bed scrolling through her phone to pass the time.
Because she kept the volume very low, the footsteps outside the door were not masked by the video sound.
"Who?"
She felt she was asking unnecessary questions; who else could be coming to her now but Ling Yun?
"Is it convenient for me to come in?"
"It should be convenient."
Tao Yuting's mind was a mess, and she didn't know what she had replied.
Tonight? No way, absolutely not! That's too fast and too easy on him!
And it would make me seem cheap. Would Lingyun think I'm the kind of girl who's not respectable?
She got out of bed barefoot and opened the door. The young man's tall figure appeared somewhat imposing in the darkness. Even though there was no physical contact, it seemed as if he had covered her completely.
Ling Yun walked in and closed the door behind him.
"What do you need me for so late?"
Tao Yuting tried her best to speak calmly to prevent Ling Yun from noticing any wavering in her tone.
"The agreement has been reached; now it's time to discuss compensation."
"Huh?" Tao Yuting was dumbfounded. "What reward?"
"I helped you with the things at home, so you should at least give me some reward as a token of appreciation, right?"
"This, this, I haven't thought about it yet..."
"Then how about I help you think of something?"
"Can't!"
Tao Yuting hugged her shoulders and took a few steps back. Seeing Ling Yun's strange expression, she couldn't help but get annoyed and asked, "What kind of reward do you want?"
“You have no grudge against me, so of course I would never force you to do something you don’t like.”
Ling Yun stepped forward and, taking advantage of her momentary lapse in attention, pulled her into his arms. Looking down at her blushing face, he said, "Then let's continue what we didn't get around to last time?"
After getting up close to the young man, Tao Yuting's mind went blank.
Last time? Could it be the time you got drunk?
Lingyun turned on his phone and played the last part of the video for her.
The content of the video was unbearable to watch. Tao Yuting should have been angry, but she was the one who took the initiative throughout the video. Ling Yun only started to take action later after they got into the mood.
"You...you...I...I...This is AI-generated, I don't believe it, don't show it to me, turn it off...Waaah!"
The young man pushed her down onto the bed and sealed her red lips with his.
Tao Yuting tried to push him away, but her body went limp in an instant, and somehow she ended up wrapping her arms around his head.
After a passionate kiss, the beautiful teacher, still somewhat unsatisfied, hugged Lingyun and kissed him again.
Now even her nightgown has disappeared.
Looking at Xiao Lingyun in front of her, Tao Yuting swallowed hard: "Is it too late for me to say it's inconvenient now?"
"What do you say?"
Can I use other parts of my body to help you?
She looked at Ling Yun, who remained silent, got out of bed, and knelt before him.
"Here, and here, these should both work, right..."
She raised her small hand and pointed to her chest, hoping to repay the favor in this way.
"What if Bai Xin and the others see this video..."
"No!" Tao Yuting admitted defeat, straightened up, and grabbed Xiao Lingyun with her hands. "Anyway, we've already been through that, we're going to die sooner or later, so do whatever you want tonight, but only tonight!"
You don't know until you try it, and once you do, you'll be amazed – the little Lingyun is even more magnificent than you imagined!
Hearing her say it was only for tonight, Ling Yun smiled mischievously. Any woman who had tried it would become addicted, and there was no way it would only be for one night. She would come looking for him without him even having to say anything.
The young man lifted her beautiful legs and charged forward despite the opponent's death-defying expression!
A sharp pain shot through Tao Yuting's entire body, leaving her head numb with pain, and it took her a long time to recover.
