My System Forces Me to Live off Women-Chapter 105 - 102: Grand General Wu Wenyue Pacifies the Chaos (End of Third Update)
The current situation is critical; it’s the first time the three roommates are facing such a crisis, and mishandling it could lead to a complete breakup...
Li Peifeng couldn’t think too much and used a negotiating tone, "Wenyue, you go calm her down, run after her, bring her back. If you can’t find her, call her, if she doesn’t answer, wait by her car. If anything happens, our lives will be ruined."
Wu Wenyue remained unmoved, folding her arms and looking at him coldly, "And what about you? I calm her while you just watch?"
"I’m buying jewelry for you both, I still have to pay. You need to hurry, more than half a minute has passed. If you’re any later, she will be gone."
"The dog wants to rebel against its master, it’s not the person walking the dog, now the dog is walking the person..."
Wu Wenyue was still unmoved, muttering as if swearing.
Li Peifeng urged, "I’ll get you another piece of jewelry, two pieces each."
"Fuck off." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Wu Wenyue finally swore out loud, "You want me to calm her? It was clearly her fault for making me angry in the first place, and then you provoked her with your nonsense! Why should I help you? If I did, what is it? Helping you manage your harem? You’ve really got balls!"
"Brother Yue!"
Suddenly, Li Peifeng’s tone became affectionate, with an enchanting softness that could give goosebumps.
"Actually, Manning was right earlier; I do like you more."
"..."
Wu Wenyue froze, and after a moment, her expression became playful.
Li Peifeng reached out and embraced her, his eyes full of emotion, and said softly, "Apart from having money, she’s got nothing on you. You know me, I’m the least concerned about money."
"..."
Wu Wenyue pursed her lips.
"You’re taller than her, have a better figure, more defined features, look better, study better, have a more carefree personality, understand how to care for people, your soul matches mine... You have too many advantages. I’m a simple person, so I just like you more."
Even though this sounds like an obvious lie, it’s irresistible!!
Someone help me, I want to eat this lie!
Wu Wenyue was silent for several seconds, her expression became extremely conflicted, "Honestly, I... I like you more too, Xiaofeng."
Hearing this, for a moment Li Peifeng felt genuinely moved, but he quickly regained his rationality.
If I believed you, I’d be a fool! You insatiable flirt!
"But Manning... is just an immature child." Li Peifeng said tactfully, "She needs to be pampered sometimes. First find her, take care of her. Once I finish buying things, I’ll come to you both and we’ll calm her down together, educate her, okay?"
Wu Wenyue hesitated repeatedly but finally nodded slightly, "Actually, what I did today wasn’t right either, I’ll give it a try, but it might not work."
"Don’t worry, just keep an eye on her so she doesn’t do anything foolish."
"I’ll go find her, you wait for my message."
"Wait!"
Facing Wu Wenyue’s puzzled look, Li Peifeng gently said, "It’s not too late to measure the ring size before you go."
"Alright."
Wu Wenyue was somewhat reluctant, but the joy in her eyes was undeniable, "Don’t buy me such expensive things in the future."
Perhaps the drama was truly too thrilling, with twists and turns like a Hollywood blockbuster, including stealth, assassination, emotional entanglements, love triangles, ethical taboos...
Even the round-faced female sales clerk, accustomed to storms, was somewhat shocked, silent and holding an awkward expression, she took out a ring model for Wu Wenyue to try on.
Quickly trying it on, she took out the real ring from behind the counter and handed it to the rightful owner.
"Please try it on to see if it fits."
Wu Wenyue took it but didn’t immediately put it on, instead glanced at Li Peifeng.
"I’ll help you." Li Peifeng, ever perceptive, immediately took her hand and helped place the ring on her right ring finger, a place symbolizing passionate love.
"Your hands are so beautiful, long and well-proportioned." Li Peifeng praised, "The ring is just the icing on the cake."
"Xiaofeng."
Wu Wenyue softly called his name and then tightly hugged him, planting a kiss on his cheek, her tone unusually serious, "I really, really, like you more."
"Me too!"
Li Peifeng replied firmly, and they waved goodbye.
Success!
Li Peifeng watched Wu Wenyue head in the direction Xu Manning left, sprinting after her, disappearing from sight, feeling sweetness and a great sense of accomplishment inside.
My kingdom’s Grand General is going to quell the rebellion!!
How could that mere Manning stand against our Marshal Wu?
Marshal Wu will surely succeed!
"..."
In the Cartier store, the four clerks plus the original employee who greeted Li Peifeng, a total of five women, witnessed the entire event, now looking at him with extremely complex expressions.
Because they had never seen it and were curious, because of their natural dislike for a scumbag, because they were amazed he handled so many accidents perfectly, because they couldn’t believe he managed so smoothly...
Imagine if you discovered a dragon, how would you look at it?
Yes, it’s a look reserved for mythical creatures appearing in reality.
Especially the round-faced sales clerk, previously calm but now deeply shocked.
"What scene haven’t I seen?"
"But I haven’t seen this scene!!"
At first, she thought Li Peifeng was taking his mistress shopping to buy a gift for the main girlfriend, and just so happened to bump into the real girlfriend and her best friend, so he was deliberately hiding behind the pillar to avoid being caught in the act. Although she hadn’t seen much of this, she could still understand it.
But it turned out, it wasn’t that at all?
Not only was he with his mistress, but the mistress was also his teacher! Playing with taboo, huh?
And that’s not all, he was shopping with his mistress teacher to buy gifts for his online love!
Absurd? Even more absurd!
Because who she ran into wasn’t just the girlfriend and her best friend, it was Girlfriend No.1 and Girlfriend No.2!!
Beyond that, the storyline was no longer comprehensible to ordinary people.
Not only did his mistress teacher play along and cover for him, Girlfriend No.1 also helped him appease No.2?
Where’s your face!
This was the most mind-boggling part for the round-faced sales assistant; she wasn’t Sister Li!
Even if you’re rich, handsome, and extremely excellent... it wouldn’t go so far as to help you appease the harem members, right? You all are rare beauties, and No.2 seems especially rich. Why would they be so obstinate about being tied to one man?
"Help measure my ring size too."
"..."
"Please, help measure my ring size too."
"...Okay."
Because the round-faced sales assistant was still trying to sort out the relationships in her head, she was a bit slower measuring Li Peifeng’s size, but he didn’t mind.
"Alright, pack up the three rings for me first."
"Okay."
Seeing Li Peifeng selecting items at the counter again, the round-faced sales assistant was actually a bit impatient; she didn’t even want to earn this commission!!
When strong reason compelled him to maintain professional integrity, he asked, "Is there anything else you want to buy?"
"That bracelet then."
Li Peifeng pointed at a rose gold bracelet and sought advice, "Think it would be good to give it to the tall girl just now?"
"I suggest picking the largest size so you can use the bracelet to hang yourself."
"?"
The round-faced sales assistant forced a smile, "I mean, if you’re giving it to her, a platinum bracelet would pair better."
"..."
"Because the beautiful lady from just now has a more athletic and healthy wheatish skin tone. Wearing gold or rose gold would make her skin appear duller. Platinum would be more fashionable."
Li Peifeng glanced at the price, over ten thousand, similar to the price of the small necklace Xu Manning picked, so he nodded, "Then let’s go with that, size... 18, wrap it up."
"Okay."
"And for the bracelet and necklace I bought earlier, get another set of the same style, one size larger."
"Are you sure?"
The round-faced saleswoman seemed to not have heard it clearly, "For the LOVE platinum bracelet and Trinity series necklace you bought earlier, get another set? Just one size larger?"
"Yes!"
The interrogative gazes of the five women in the store fell on Li Peifeng as if they had substance.
The intent to kill could transform into something tangible.
Because this had crossed their bottom line.
Shopping with three girls was already outrageous, but then buying gifts for four people? And even since you bought gifts for four people, to make things easy you bought the same gifts for a fifth person?
"Scum... Handsome guy, isn’t this a bit lacking in creativity (or heart)?"
The round-faced saleswoman subtly hinted, politely smiling while speaking through gritted teeth, "I think you could choose a different style, for example, the bracelets and necklaces from the Clash de Cartier series are also quite beautiful."
Li Peifeng felt like he was several pounds heavier, with a chill creeping down his spine...
"This one is honestly for my mother."
Mr. Li showed the most sincere expression of the day, "I’m a man of my word, I promised those two girls I would give the LOVE bracelet and Trinity necklace to my mom, so I must follow through, changing the style would mean not following through!"
If the style were changed, wouldn’t it be revealing the truth later on...
Li Peifeng had learned to be cautious over his twenty-some years!
In life and deeds, one must consider everything thoroughly.
If he had considered things thoroughly before and told Xu Manning and Wu Wenyue about the platinum signing first thing, today’s situation wouldn’t have arisen, and the three women wouldn’t have met; this lesson is a painful one.
"Silver Merchant Bank transaction alert, your account ending in 1575 has a transaction, amount 386,000 yuan..."
Leaving the Cartier store, under the exceptionally unfriendly watch of all the female employees, Li Peifeng saw the transaction message, and his first reaction was distress mixed with liver-trembling.
Buying the jewelry cost a total of 386,000, with more than half of the money spent on the aftermath caused by this event.
Sent Zhao Qingge jewelry worth 103,000, initially 50,000 would have sufficed, but to appease her, he spent an extra 52,000 on a necklace.
Gave Xu Manning and Wu Wenyue jewelry worth 180,000, if not for the encounter, 40,000 to 50,000 would have been enough for the two of them.
Also sent his dear mother Yu Huizhi a gift worth 103,000, which was utterly unnecessary. Li Peifeng sensed that if sent, it might even warrant a scolding for wasting money, and his mom would surely demand the jewelry be converted directly to cash to give her...
"230,000, an extra 230,000 spent, Li Peifeng, you must remember this lesson!!"
"Every major event starts with minor issues, trivial matters unaddressed will turn into unmanageable catastrophes, the harem’s jeopardy, all starts here, the state’s jeopardy, all starts here!"
Li Peifeng silently raised his vigilance, this kind of situation where all three women meet must be absolutely avoided in the future, for the sake of the realm and the state!!
