But it was enough to show that Long Aotian's methods were effective: "Don't blame me; after all, you're just too perfect, too innocent. If you could remember our nine years together, I wouldn't want to treat you this way. You're the one forcing my hand."
"I'll show you through my actions that I'm the only one who truly cares for you!"
"Without experiencing pain, how could you ever become calm and composed? How could you become the future goddess of venture capital? I'm doing this for your own good."
Thinking back to Li Qingxue's forward-looking gaze and her confident, perfect figure, along with her decisive methods, Ye Liangchen admitted that just the thought of it made his heart race!
As long as he could win over Hu Yuying and Li Qingxue, Lin Wanning would be unable to escape his grasp, no matter how hard she tried.
So what if she was the nation's first love?
"As long as she hasn't fully grown up, as long as I become the capital, the nation's first love? Ha, let her become my first love alone!"
"I won't give you another chance to start your entertainment company. I want you to become my personal canary. This is your punishment for embarrassing me today!"
Just thinking about having Lin Wanning's long legs, longer than his own life, resting on his shoulders made Ye Liangchen feel a surge of excitement.
He turned to Xue Shaohua: "If you can handle this well, I swear you'll gain benefits beyond your imagination."
"I don't care about the benefits; I just want to know one thing: how do you plan to deal with that guy Long Aotian?"
"Hu Yuying won't even look at any man other than Long Aotian. Don't forget what you promised me."
Xue Shaohua had considered that Ye Liangchen might be lying; he had experienced it countless times himself. No matter how hard he tried to attract Hu Yuying's attention, the results were always disappointing.
But he wanted Hu Yuying too much. A girl like her, if missed, would be hard to forget in this lifetime, becoming a regret in his heart...
To win over Hu Yuying, he would have to make Long Aotian let go willingly; otherwise, it was just a pipe dream.
Since Ye Liangchen had promised to help him, he wanted to hear how he planned to deal with Long Aotian.
If it didn't work out, he wouldn't continue to help him.
He could see that Ye Liangchen had his own agenda; he couldn't just be a pawn for him!
At Xue Shaohua's words, Ye Liangchen laughed—a genuine laugh!
He laughed as he downed his drink in one go, then slammed the glass down on the table.
The noise startled Xue Shaohua.
"Long Aotian? Ha, just a clown!"
"If I can beat him once, I can beat him countless times!"
As he spoke, he gripped the glass tightly.
Xue Shaohua could see the hatred in Ye Liangchen's eyes; he hadn't expected him to despise Long Aotian so much.
This was undoubtedly good news for him.
All he had to do was sit back and watch the show, reaping the benefits.
As for helping Ye Liangchen check Hu Yuying's daily study records, that was hardly worth mentioning!
Both of them had their own plans, but they shared a common enemy.
In fact, Xue Shaohua had never even met Long Aotian; they couldn't really be called enemies, but he had taken Hu Yuying's affection.
He liked Hu Yuying, so Long Aotian had to step aside!
When the time came, while Hu Yuying was heartbroken, it would be his chance to embrace the beauty.
Thinking of this, Xue Shaohua smiled and agreed, "No problem, I'll help you check Hu Yuying's daily study records!"
Hearing Xue Shaohua's agreement, Ye Liangchen's gloomy expression gradually improved.
If it weren't for Long Aotian, he would have already won the beauty and become the center of attention.
He wouldn't have to endure all this.
Every humiliation he suffered would be repaid to Long Aotian bit by bit.
"Since you want to play, then Liangchen will accompany you to the end!"
The darker side of himself was indeed terrifying.
There was no choice; it was all about the thrill, the adrenaline...

**Chapter 213: I’m the Most Obedient Little Follower**
After parting with Qingxue, Hu Yuying returned to her dorm.
She opened the door to find the room empty. Turning on the light, the brightness filled every corner of the dorm.
Her three roommates had all gone home, and without the previous laughter, the place felt a bit desolate.
Hu Yuying freshened up and lay back on her bed, clicking on Long Aotian's QQ interface.
"Long Ge, have you arrived?"
Even though they had just parted a short while ago, Hu Yuying felt as if ages had passed.
She missed him so much; she truly wished she could be with him every moment...
Before long, her phone vibrated, and she quickly picked it up.
Seeing Long Ge's message, her bright eyes curved into crescent moons.
"My roommates have all gone home; I'm the only one in the dorm."
Just as she sent the message, Long Aotian's video call came through.
Hu Yuying hurriedly sat up, straightening her clothes that had gotten messy while lying down.
But then she thought better of it, biting her lip and pulling her shoulder strap down a little.
After doing all this, she felt inexplicably excited yet a bit shy, rolling on the bed before finally clicking to answer.
The video connected quickly.
In the frame, Long Aotian sat on his bed, impeccably dressed.
Seeing this, Hu Yuying softly called out, "Long Ge," feeling a twinge of regret.
Long Ge looked so formal, while she was so casual...
Seeing Hu Yuying lying on her bed, her messy hair framing her face, and a hint of bare skin peeking from her shoulder...
It was alluring.
An indescribable allure.
Long Aotian couldn't help but glance a few more times.
If the fully dressed Hu Yuying gave off an impression of pure desire, making one unconsciously fond of her, then this slightly disheveled version sparked a wild sense of possessiveness.
Even just a glimpse of exposed skin made one imagine her completely bare.
Hu Yuying had initially felt regret, but seeing Long Aotian's unwavering gaze on her in the video, a small sense of pride bubbled up inside her.
At least it showed she had some appeal to Long Ge, right?
She felt like she was getting better at this.
Attracting the one she liked seemed to be the most important thing.
"Ahem, you can't dress like this for video calls in the future, got it? Look at me..."
"Okay, I understand, Long Ge. I'll change right away."
"Wait, except for you, Long Ge."
Hu Yuying smiled, her eyes slightly squinting with a hint of mischief, as if she were sending out sparks: "I only dress like this in front of Long Ge, because it's you."
She only acted this way in front of Long Ge.
In Hu Yuying's world, people were roughly divided into two categories: Long Aotian and everyone else.
She willingly chose Long Aotian, so it was a beautiful thing for her.
Just watching Hu Yuying's dreamy, glistening eyes through the video made Long Aotian's heart race uncontrollably.
She was so pure, with a love that was genuine and a trust in him that was unreserved.
All of this was enough to make any man’s heart flutter.
To have a girl like her was like finding an eternal treasure.
Hu Yuying's words, that she wanted a life that belonged to her, were deeply etched in Long Aotian's heart.
Perhaps in this life, Hu Yuying would not become a business queen, but she would certainly be his queen.
The once timid little follower who trailed behind him had changed so much that he could hardly see any trace of her former self.
"What am I going to do with you?"
"I'll be very obedient; Long Ge can have his way with Yuying." The original Hu Yuying had vowed to follow Long Ge, determined not to be a soft target for anyone else.
Now, she only hoped to be under Long Ge's control, because in front of him, she always felt an abundance of security, as if as long as Long Ge was there, she could always be his little woman.
It was dependence, a special reliance that only Long Aotian could give her.
At that moment.
Through the video call, Hu Yuying heard Long Aotian's voice.
The dorm door opened.
Huang Fei looked at Long Aotian and exclaimed, "Yo, Aotian, you're back."
