Villain: Without morals, you can't be manipulated!-Chapter 52 - The First Sweet Tea of the Morning
Chapter 52 The First Sweet Tea of the Morning
“September 30, 2002.”
“Wang Cheng confessed to me that the 200 yuan Qi Lin used up was originally meant for buying me a gift. However, the day before yesterday, Qi Lin spent every last bit of it.”
“Now that it’s the weekend, Wang Cheng wants to find a part-time job to save up again so he can surprise me on my birthday.”
“Who would’ve thought? Wang Cheng actually knows how to be romantic.”
“Unlike Qi Lin—if he’s not making me mad, he’s on his way to making me mad. And he even spent all the money Wang Cheng had saved for my birthday gift.”
“Coincidentally, my aunt’s restaurant has been busy lately and needs extra help, so I introduced Wang Cheng to her.”
“Wang Cheng turned out to be quite capable. By the end of the day, he helped my aunt a lot and earned 50 yuan.”

“He told me my aunt asked him to come again next week. She also told me that Wang Cheng is polite and hardworking—a good kid.”
“Heh, looks like my taste in men isn’t too bad after all!”
That was where the diary entry ended.
Qi Lin stroked his chin, a playful gleam in his dark eyes.
“I just drove a wedge between them the day before yesterday, and now, after just one day, they’re back together? Seems like breaking them up won’t be as easy as I thought.”
“That little cockroach Wang Cheng is still wriggling around. He even managed to cozy up to Lan Yuxi’s aunt? Is he trying to take an inside route—winning over her aunt, then getting into her family’s good graces, and finally gaining her parents’ approval before sealing the deal with Lan Yuxi herself?”
Qi Lin pondered.
Why did he understand this tactic so well?
Because he had used the exact same approach on Wang Siling.
No matter how much Yu Chen pleased Wang Siling or how much Wang Cheng valued Yu Chen as his future brother-in-law, as long as Qi Lin won over Wang Siling’s father, Yu Chen would never set foot in her house again.
In the end, Wang Siling would have to make a choice—either obey her father and become Qi Lin’s plaything, or elope with Yu Chen and cut ties with her family forever.
Of course, knowing Wang Siling’s timid nature, she would never be bold enough to elope for Yu Chen. And even if she did choose to elope, with Qi Lin standing in her way like an immovable mountain, she would never escape his grasp for the rest of her life.
“Earned 50 yuan in a day? As long as I’m around, forget 50 yuan—even 5 cents will be impossible for you to earn, you idiot. And as for Lan Yuxi’s gift? Forget about it. On her birthday, she should just wrap herself up as the present and deliver herself to my house. That’d save you some money too, dumbass.”
Qi Lin chuckled, as devious as ever.
Closing the diary, a plan to deal with Wang Cheng began to take shape in his mind.

The next morning, before five o’clock, Qi Xueyao was already awake, moving in the dark. She quickly dressed in a professional suit, then hurried to the bathroom to freshen up.
It was Sunday, so Qi Lin didn’t have to go to school. She was afraid he would wake up early and do something to her. Before yesterday, if Qi Lin had tried anything, she could still resist and scream for help.
But ever since he got hold of the evidence of her quitting her teaching job, she had become a fish on the chopping board, completely at his mercy. Lowering her head, she rinsed her mouth.
Just as she spat out the toothpaste foam and was about to raise her head.
“Ah! Ah! Ah!”
Three consecutive screams pierced through the entire villa.
The reason?
She had been hugged from behind.
“Bastard, let me go!”
Seeing Qi Lin’s mischievous face in the mirror, Qi Xueyao’s cheeks turned red as she struggled. She had thought she woke up early enough, but Qi Lin had still beaten her to it and ambushed her.
“Sister Xueyao, leaving for work without giving me a morning kiss? That just shows how little you love me.”
Qi Lin hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her neck, taking in her fresh scent. Feeling his warm breath tickling her neck, Qi Xueyao couldn’t hold it in any longer.
“You perverted scumbag! I’m going to kill you!”
She grabbed her rinse cup and hurled it at Qi Lin’s handsome face. Unfortunately, Qi Lin dodged too quickly, and the cup missed.
“Sister Xueyao, you’re so heartless. I woke up this early just to take you to work, and this is how you treat me?”
Qi Lin’s tone was lazy.
Qi Xueyao gritted her teeth.
“I’d rather you disappear from my world forever—that would truly be a blessing!”
Qi Lin slowly stepped closer until they were face to face.
“Sister Xueyao, if I take you to work, you can complete today’s task in the car. But if I actually show up at your training center, the risk will be much higher.”
Qi Xueyao: “…”
She knew exactly what he meant. After staring at Qi Lin for a long time, she said nothing, turned around, and walked to the fridge. She took out a few eggs and a carton of milk.
She made herself a few soft-boiled eggs and warmed up a glass of milk.
As for Qi Lin?
He got nothing. After finishing breakfast, Qi Xueyao walked to the entrance. Her black-stockinged feet slipped into high heels, and she picked up her handbag, ready to leave for work.
Qi Lin smirked and followed her. Qi Xueyao sat in the back seat of her Mercedes. Her expression was cold as she stared at Qi Lin.
“Do it now. If you wait, you won’t get another chance.”
Qi Lin loved that look in her eyes—one of frustration, knowing she couldn’t do anything about him.
A sly grin flickered in his dark eyes as he leaned in. And just like that, he savored the first sweet tea of the morning.
“Mmm~”
Qi Xueyao unwillingly closed her beautiful eyes, her long lashes trembling slightly.
