Guilongchao: I played the domineering CEO to the bone.

Night has fallen.

Having finally found a clue, Tong and Zhu planned to quickly go up to the rooftop to find the longevity lock, complete the haunted hot pot restaurant case in one go, and then go back to rest.

Tong complained inwardly:

What bad luck! The clue just happened to come out late at night. If we keep investigating, we might have to stay up all night again...

Ideally, we should just deal with the female ghost who escaped from the Dragon Realm and end the matter there. We don't want to have to go back into the Dragon Realm and cause any more trouble...

Whenever a quest requires venturing into the Dragon Realm, it always involves a ton of battles, puzzles, and exploration, consuming far more time than simply pulling all-nighters...

Tong, harboring a deep resentment, quickly stepped onto the wooden stairs.

Da da da da da da da——

The sound of footsteps on the stairs was crisp and brief, reflecting the anxious heart of the person who walked on them.

Second floor...

Third floor...

Running upwards with their heads tilted back, Tong and Zhu soon saw a bright moon hanging high in the sky.

What a beautiful moon.

If we weren't currently working on a project, inviting friends to find a high place to enjoy the moon and chat would be a wonderful thing.

Da da da da, da da da da—

Clearly, Tong did not stop to admire the beautiful moonlight.

In her mind, the commission and the money were indeed more important.

Further up, a couple embracing each other, bathed in the holy moonlight, came into view.

Because they were running and some distance apart, Tong's vision was slightly blurred.

But she could still vaguely discern that the couple was a perfect match, like a golden couple—the man was tall, handsome, and dashing, while the woman was dignified, virtuous, and talented.

How can you tell if someone is talented?

Just by looking at her, you can tell she's a cultured person!

Moreover, both of them seemed to possess a natural and inherent air of nobility.

This inevitably brings to mind the phrase "a match made in heaven".

The moonlight was bright, like a spotlight on a stage, focusing on the couple, as if the whole world were their stage, and they were the main characters, displaying their love to the fullest...

Eh?

That director rushed in and ruined the young couple's rendezvous.

Wouldn't that be a bit impolite?

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap...

The owner of the footsteps hesitated for a moment.

No, no!

Is it possible that those two aren't human, but actually two ghosts?

Or something like a love story between a human and a ghost?

There's been a ghost story downstairs, and only the director and I can see it. The other diners have suddenly vanished...

It's estimated that the cursed power leaking from the Dragon Realm has distorted space.

Besides, I didn't see a single living person as I walked up the stairs, and then suddenly two living people appeared on the rooftop.

How could it be such a coincidence?

Perhaps they are the key to completing this mission!

At the very least, they should have seen some trace of the longevity lock, right?

Tap, tap, tap, tap.

The person who made the footsteps quieted down.

The key NPC who appears during the mission is right in front of you!

Don't scare the person/ghost away!

"Hey everyone! Have you seen that grinning, weird-looking guy with a bun hairstyle—"

Tong suddenly spoke up!

This director doesn't even have a boyfriend yet!

Showing off their love in front of me, a single guy?

I'll scare you to death!!

As for whether the other party might know anything... with my abilities as a director, do I need a couple of pieces of information from him?

Once the eye technique is activated, there's nowhere for them to hide!

But it came to an abrupt end.

As her footsteps slowed and she drew closer, Tong suddenly saw clearly and realized—

That guy?

how......?

It looks like?

It looks like Minmo You!

Tong was so startled that she took a step back, almost falling backward and tumbling down the stairs...

Fortunately, I managed to grab the handrail next to me and regain my balance.

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

What a coincidence!

There are hundreds of thousands, even millions, of people in Nakaura Ward. How could it be that in just a few days, two people from different social classes would happen to appear at the same place at the same time and meet again?!

Tap...tap...

Hey.

The person who made the footsteps stopped.

No, stop lying to yourself.

That person is Min Moyou.

Even if he were ashes, my old lady would still recognize him!

Are all the women in the world blind?

How come it's only been a few days?

Is there a new woman or a female ghost by his side?

And she still looks so good! So outstanding?!

Why didn't a woman like that approach me, the director, instead of falling for that scumbag!

Tong instinctively clenched her hands, squeezing the wooden handrail of the stairs until it creaked...

Unlike Min Moyou, who is surrounded by more and more women, his attention, affection, and enthusiasm for Tong are gradually fading to some extent.

Although Min Moyou's initial desire to obtain Tong remained unchanged, he cherished and valued her far less than he had when he first transmigrated.

There are other pretty girls in the world besides Tong. Liking someone is one thing, being responsible is another, wanting to possess someone is yet another. How much thought and effort Minmo Youhua should put into Tong is another matter entirely.

What makes her so special?

Is it because of her stingy, lazy, and mercenary temperament?

Or is it because of her carefree, immoral, unscrupulous, and clumsy way of doing things?

Where in the world do you find so many stories like "A cold and domineering CEO ignores all the outstanding women around him but insists on falling in love with a loser like me"?

But Tong is different; in all her life, she has only ever been with one man, Min Moyou.

Memories and emotions related to the other person occasionally reverberate and erupt in his mind, far more intense than Min Moyou's longing for her.

A complex expression flashed in Tong's eyes. There were only two or three steps left to reach the rooftop, but they were harder to cross than a chasm!

what to do......?

I don't want to see him...

This request isn't something that absolutely has to be done, is it?

Why don't we turn around and go back to Longchao Pavilion for a good night's sleep?

Anyway, since I got a free dinner, it wasn't a wasted trip, right?

Tong, a top agent at Longchao Pavilion renowned for her reputation in the industry, who is invincible when it comes to commissions and commission fees, has for the first time considered backing down simply because she saw a man blocking her way...

Do not!no!

The fear, timidity, and complexity in his eyes faded away, replaced by a burning anger of resentment!

This rooftop is a must-go for me, the director!

If I were to back down now, wouldn't it make it seem like I, the director, am afraid of him?

Do you think that if I leave now, he won't even know I was here?

With those skilled men around him, they'll definitely tell him afterwards that the director was here, and then leave after seeing him...

Wouldn't that just embolden that petty person and crush our own morale?!

If he finds out, he'll be so smug, and he'll probably laugh at us for it!

How could we possibly lack the courage to even face him?!

How can it be? ! !

Do you think this director is afraid of him?!

will not!

This director misses him terribly!

This director has thought a hundred times about killing him and cursing him to death!

This director has thought a thousand times about taking what is rightfully his from him!

This director has thought a million times about making him pay the price, pulling him down from his pedestal, making him lose all his wealth and everything, and making him kneel before this director like a pitiful worm, begging for this director's forgiveness for the mistakes he has made!

Then I, the director, kicked him away! Kicked him away!!!

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! ! ! !

Although I, the director, can't do any of these things right now!

But that doesn't mean this director is afraid of him!

Although I am currently powerless to eliminate the evil force, Min Moyou!

But as long as this director is alive, I will never bow down to him!

Our stance will always be firm! We will never back down!

This is the ambition of this director, who possesses mysterious eye techniques and is the protagonist!

........

A burning, indomitable will roared in her mind, suppressing her cowardly self deep within her heart.

Master Zhu, who had gone upstairs with Tong, ran a few steps forward, then realized that Director Tong wasn't keeping up, so he took a few steps back.

"Director Tong, what's wrong? Are you tired?"

Seeing Tong's expression change rapidly, more dramatic than a face-changing act in a Chinese opera, Zhu asked with some concern,

"Should we rest for a while? Or should we hold on a little longer and meet up with the believer who bought the longevity lock, before the clues are lost...?"

"Need not."

Tong's expression returned to calm, like a stagnant pool of water—a calm that was both rigid and cold.

"I'm fine."

"Let's go."

Zhu and Tong had spent most of the day together, and Zhu had never seen Tong like this before, with this expression...

".....Um."

But Zhu, who was not good at social graces, said that since Director Tong said it was nothing, then she should just pretend it was nothing.

.........

"who?!"

Yu Bing was startled and broke free from Min Moyou's arms as soon as Tong shouted loudly to ask about the longevity lock and tried to scare them.

I guess I'm just shy.

It's a little inappropriate to be all lovey-dovey with your fiancé in front of strangers.

This is so unlike the way clans are supposed to behave...

After tidying up her appearance and helping Min Moyou tidy up as well, she spoke sternly and preemptively when Tong and Zhu walked onto the rooftop.

Of course, there were also times when, while venting their feelings in the embrace of the Minmo, they felt dissatisfaction and shame at being spied on and disturbed.

But most importantly—!

Don't let Minmoyou talk to any pretty girls!

Yu Bing discovered that any beautiful woman who had spoken with Min Moyou would have a very special relationship with him!

this is too scary!

Min Moyou is just a small piece of cake. He represents far more than just himself. He also possesses information, wealth, powerful figures, and other invaluable resources!

The more women appear beside Min Moyou, the more pieces of Min Moyou's cake will be taken away—and Yu Bing will have one less piece to eat!

How can that work?

This situation must be prevented as much as possible!

Therefore, whenever a stranger approaches Min Moyou and there is a woman who is reasonably good-looking and has a decent figure, Yu Bing decides to take over the conversation and prevent these bad women from taking advantage of her!

Yu Bing's idea is good.

Unfortunately, she hadn't considered that the woman walking towards her had already been deeply entangled with Min Moyou long before she even met him...

And what about Minmoyou?

Whether it was from hearing Hitomi's shout just now, or based on his familiarity with the plot, he already knew that the person who came was Hitomi.

On the contrary, when Min Moyou thought of Tong but didn't see her, he would feel a little guilty, a little longing, and a little restless.

But now that he's seen Tong, his heart is as calm as still water.

She even looked forward to seeing how Hitomi would behave, what she would say, and what she would do after meeting him.

Unfortunately, he was disappointed.

Tong silently moved closer to Yu Bing, her gaze fixed on him.

She kept her gaze level, feigning composure, not even glancing at Min Moyou, as if there was no fourth person besides Yu Bing, Zhu, and herself.

Are you pretending not to know me?

Min Moyou was somewhat displeased; some of the things he had hoped for hadn't happened as he wished.

He thought Tong would make a scene or something...

Ah, interesting.

so good......

This woman, who tries to escape my control, always manages to pique my interest time and time again.

As expected of the "protagonist".

Min Moyou seemed to suddenly understand those brainless CEO novels she read before transmigrating. An outstanding man always ignored the countless outstanding women around him and insisted on pestering a very ordinary, poor, and bad-tempered woman.

If Min Moyou had seen this kind of plot before transmigrating, she would have cursed the author: "You're brain-dead!"

Only now does Minmoyou understand...

When most of one's needs are met, those who stand at the top of the pyramid, having everything they want from the world, may feel a slight emptiness and a sense of loneliness at the top.

Min Moyou constantly seeks the affections of each female character and engages in relationships with them in order to fill this aimless emptiness with emotions.

But then an exception appeared—Hitomi, someone who wasn't so easy to win over.

That changed the nature of the matter, and it changed her character.

From the moment Tong rejected him and distanced herself from him, she represented more than just a beautiful woman, a female character that Min Moyou liked...

But it was prey!

A prey that gives Minmo You a sense of conquest!

The more she refused and resisted, the more interested Min Moyou became in her and the more he wanted her!

This is the way of the domineering CEO!

It's probably similar to the plot of a story about showing off and getting slapped in the face—all the build-up is just for the thrill of the final twist!

After countless build-ups and repressions, the pleasure generated at the last moment will explode a hundredfold!

It is far superior to any other form of pleasure.

Come on! Come on!

Let's have some fun!

Let's see how long you can hold out!

Hehehehehe........

Min Moyou excitedly licked her lips, took a half step to the side, and stood behind Yu Bing, leaving the conversation to Yu Bing and Tong.

Let's start now...

Let's see how long you can hold your gaze off me for even a moment...
