Welcome to the Misogyny Game

Although I don't quite understand, it seems that the two of them don't have much of a grudge.

But villain... isn't a good word?

So, in their world, is Liu Chaoque considered a decent person?

Zhou Man was filled with many thoughts.

"Why don't you consider me?" He glanced at Zhou Man. "At least I have plenty of money. If you cooperate with me, you won't lose out."

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Chen," Liu Chaoque said with a smile, "the last thing I lack right now is money."

"That's a good coincidence. I'm not short of money either. We have so much in common, we'll get along very well."

There's a sense of helplessness, like being afraid to slap someone and then having them lick their wounds. Was he like this before?

Seeing her suspicious look, Chen Qingsong knew what she was thinking: "I am now an independent person, and it's not a big problem if my personality and preferences are different from usual."

"But your personality has completely changed, okay?" Liu Chaoque thought to himself, feeling utterly devastated.

"Is it really impossible to cooperate?"

"No."

"You really don't like me at all?"

"Why didn't you say we were talking about feelings earlier?" Liu Chaoque was speechless. "What kind of cooperation are you talking about? It feels like we're a contractual couple."

"So you agree?" Chen Qingsong asked expectantly.

"I disagree." Liu Chaoque said expressionlessly.

I harvested a sad little tree.

"You're in the real world now? In this world, you can like people other than the female lead. Aren't you happy?" Liu Chaoque asked.

"Happy, happy." He looked up at her, his face full of accusation: "Don't you want me anymore, so you're pushing me to someone else?"

His words attracted the attention of some people. Unaware passersby looked over, and hey, perfect timing, she had brought another man with her.

Liu Chaoque: ...

She brought up Chen Qingsong expressionlessly and said formally and seriously, "He's throwing a tantrum, just ignore him."

This level of seriousness, comparable to a press conference, drew the attention of onlookers back to the event.

"Let's talk outside, don't embarrass me."

"Okay." Chen Qingsong obediently followed behind her.

“You can consider what I said inside… Hey, stop, don’t say anything that could be misunderstood.” Liu Chaoque covered his mouth before he could say anything.

"Besides, life isn't about me possessing her, or her belonging to me. If we break through the rules of the world and go to another free country, can we still eat and drink together besides love and romance?"

"Like our team?" Chen Qingsong asked.

“Like our team.” Liu Chaoque nodded. “But you’re still managing a large company, in its early stages, so you probably haven’t had the experience to go out and have fun, right?”

Novels featuring domineering CEOs who frequently have romantic encounters with the female lead, or those featuring office romances, imprisonment stories, or love triangles, are relatively rare.

Most CEOs are constantly checking in and out of documents, and they need to be involved in everything, big and small. They also need to supervise their subordinates from time to time, and sometimes they have to work until late at night.

However, the rewards are also enormous.

"It's alright, there are some meetings, can my assistant go?" he said.

Being your assistant is quite tiring.

“I pay him a high salary, so it’s only right that he does some work. I only need to attend major projects, so it won’t interfere with the company’s operations.”

He firmly believes that a boss doesn't need to work too hard. As long as he leads the company well and keeps it running smoothly, he can still be a boss who can make a lot of money with his employees. If he works himself to death and the company goes bankrupt, then he should change industries as soon as possible.

The layman Liu Chaoque nodded blankly.

Zhou Man, who was even more clueless, asked, "You guys want to go out and have fun?"

“Do you want to go? We can go together,” Liu Chaoque said.

The only working person present said, "I only have time on Saturdays and Sundays, or holidays."

"Sure, I'll bring you along on holidays too."

"it is good."

The two seemed to get along very well, so Chen Qingsong deliberately kept a little distance between them.

"Are you free tonight? Would you do me the honor of having dinner with me?" Chen Qingsong invited.

"No, thank you." Liu Chaoque refused. Although Hanfu was beautiful, it was too cumbersome to wear. She thought she would go home and eat something simple: "I'm on a diet."

"How about we build muscle together?"

"It doesn't look good."

"But hitting someone hurts a lot."

"That's true."

Chen Qingsong gave her several more gym memberships, all annual memberships that automatically renew after a certain period, which was very convenient.

He was actually wearing a suit and had his hair done, looking like he was going to a banquet, but the person he wanted to impress didn't care about him. He drove off in his Cayenne, looking rather pathetic, though his back view wasn't at all disheveled.

He waved to her before opening the car door.

Only when she could no longer see him did Liu Chaoque breathe a sigh of relief. She simply could not completely let her guard down around Chen Qingsong, both in that small world and here.

Perhaps it was the pressure from those in power, or simply because they had been wronged in the past.

"Are you OK?"

"It's alright." Blind dates won't help, and Liu Chaoque will bear most of the hurt himself.

Zhou Man was afraid that she might not be satisfied with his fake identity and would break up with him sooner rather than later. "We're already at the mall, are you in a hurry to go home? Why don't you pick out some things, I'll pay for them?"

"So generous? This isn't within the scope of the transaction." Liu Chaoque smiled slightly.

"I bought it for you."

"Then I won't be polite."

She seemed determined to ask for an exorbitant amount, and Zhou Man was a little worried that her wallet wouldn't be enough for her.

Liu Chaoque didn't actually buy anything.

While wandering around the mall, I stumbled upon a trendy toy store. It was full of toys, including various pins, blind boxes, and dolls.

When she has money, she buys lots of bags, clothes, and jewelry to fulfill her princess dream. Of course, she has to be careful when spending other people's money.

However, when I was short of money before, I didn't really care about the amount of money Mu Li gave me.

As she touched the blind box, she wondered: Could it be because she was sure that Mu Li could afford it?

The first thing you see is a huge array of badges, each starting at 20 yuan. Even those color swatches are enough to buy a regular takeout meal.

She wasn't particularly obsessed with any otome game character before, but she would always want to buy and collect any good-looking cards released by that character.

Acrylic and badges are considered cheap; even those cardboard pieces only the thickness of a page of a book cost her almost 70 yuan.

Not to mention all sorts of hemp and dolls.

She saw the most eye-catching items on the shelf: figurines of mythical creatures from the Classic of Mountains and Seas comics. They looked small and were sold as blind boxes for 99 yuan.

She is indeed very cute, and she likes her.

However, she found it difficult to ask Zhou Man to buy it for her.

She doesn't mind spending her own money, but she also doesn't mind having others spend money on her; she thinks about it a lot more.

Should I return the favor with a gift? It would feel like I owe someone something.

After struggling for a long time, she finally let go of the doll.

"Don't you want to buy it?" Zhou Man asked. "If you like it, then buy it."

He didn't know much about blind boxes, but he had searched online before coming in. The tin cans with anime designs at the entrance were called "Baj," and they would have their favorite anime characters printed on them. Although they were somewhat overpriced, they were indeed very popular.

However, with these blind boxes, it seems possible that you won't get the character you want. Each blind box has a different price, and you might spend over 50 yuan to get a character you don't like.

But blind boxes are like winning the lottery, maybe even easier. After all, if you buy a few 20-yuan lottery tickets and manage to break even, you're lucky.

Blind boxes are almost always successful.

People who buy blind boxes are buying the thrill and anticipation, and the hope of getting a little bit of luck.

He said it himself. Liu Chaoque thought that saying no would make it seem like she was trying to save him money. Deeply ingrained discipline and education made her quickly think of something: if you're stingy when you're out with your boyfriend, he'll think you're easy to please and will buy you things freely in the future.

You happily eat vegetarian food for 20-something yuan with your boyfriend, but when you go out, if you don't eat at a buffet that costs over 100 yuan, it means he's not generous, and you can't live with someone like that.

What do you mean by liking blond hair and plain porridge?

Amidst the chaos, Liu Chaoque randomly picked out a large blind box and held it in his arms.

"Is one enough? Or should I get you another one?"

"No, no need."

"Hey bro, if you want to buy it for her, just buy it. Why ask all this unnecessary questions?"

Suddenly, a pair of fair hands reached out from the side and picked up the mythical beast doll on the shelf.

“This doll isn’t even as cute as me…” he said. “Little Sparrow, if you like this kind, do you want me to pay them to make some more for you?”

"I'll prepare a whole box of blind boxes for you, you're sure to get the one you want."

"Am I really that unlucky?" Liu Chaoque was speechless.

"I didn't say that, you said it yourself."

"Mu Li!"

Mu Li was almost in tears: "My little ancestor, you've finally acknowledged me."

Liu Chaoque: "Ah, this, this isn't..."

"Let's see what excuse you come up with." Mu Li kept staring at you.

"Why are you here? You've been following me." The villain is the one who accuses first.

"I was just secretly protecting you, wasn't I?"

Mu Li, though not entirely justified, was still quite assertive. He glanced at Zhou Man and said, "If you like him, then like him. I'll prepare some dowry for you. Don't be so stingy."

"No!" Liu Chaoque immediately betrayed him, "How could I not like you? You're my god of wealth."

"Too bad, God of Wealth, you don't fit my aesthetic." He's not as strong or robust as me. Standing next to him, I look like a pretty boy.

"Oh, no way, Muli, I'm hungry, let's go eat."

What do you want to eat? Seafood?

"No, except for seafood."

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

It seems that Liu Chaoque really can't be with anyone else except Mu Li.
