Making Three Heartless Woman Go Crazy for Me - Chapter 11

Although the atmosphere the previous night had been pleasant enough, Qi Lanshi ultimately left before the dormitory doors opened.

“Since she has insomnia and can only sleep well when I’m by her side, she should wake up soon after I leave, right?” Qi Lanshi yawned lazily. “I need her to understand my importance more clearly.”

As expected, Luan Hua woke up shortly after Qi Lanshi’s departure.

The space beside her was already empty, not even a trace of warmth remained. Qi Lanshi had shown no attachment to her, even seeming to avoid her as if she were a plague.

When Luan Hua recalled everything that had happened the previous day, her expression darkened, her mood souring further.

From the beginning, she had been too lenient with this substitute, allowing Qi Lanshi to believe she possessed some special status that entitled her to act so presumptuously.

“Just a plaything,” Luan Hua muttered through clenched teeth, a simmering anger she herself barely recognized.

Her anger persisted all the way to the company, so palpable that even her secretary noticed.

“You seem very unhappy,” the secretary said, glancing at Luan Hua as she drove. “Is it because of Miss Qi?”

Luan Hua lifted her gaze, her eyes icy.

The secretary’s heart skipped a beat, her pulse quickening. “I apologize, Boss. I couldn’t suppress my curiosity.”

Luan Hua looked away. “She’s too immature and reckless.”

“Miss Qi is a very clever young woman,” the secretary ventured. “She’s probably… playing hard to get.” She paused, feeling a little embarrassed and ridiculous, but ultimately said it anyway.

Luan Hua fell silent.

Luan Hua pondered.

Luan Hua realized she was right.

Otherwise, Qi Lanshi’s behavior made no sense. The moment the phrase “playing hard to get” was uttered, Luan Hua felt a sudden clarity, as if everything had fallen into place.

Qi Lanshi was doing this deliberately, leveraging her face—which bore a resemblance to Luan Hua’s White Moonlight—to gain more for herself.

Does she even realize how worthless she is without that face? Luan Hua thought coldly. She’s nothing but a cheap imitation. Does she think she deserves this?

“Disobedient pets need to be taught a lesson,” Luan Hua said coldly. “Take care of it.”

The secretary’s eyes widened slightly, clearly struggling to comprehend, but her impeccable professionalism compelled her to swallow her questions and simply reply, “Understood.”

Meanwhile, Qi Lanshi remained unaware of Luan Hua’s relapse. Having spent several days immersed in the game, her alarm hadn’t rung. She was contemplating whether to exit the game and check on reality when she suddenly realized: it was the first of the month. Workers at factories #1 and #15 had a day off on the 1st and 15th, meaning she was on holiday, which explained why her alarm hadn’t gone off.

Relief washed over Qi Lanshi. She lay back on her dormitory bed and opened the gacha page to review her previous ten-pull. What exactly had she obtained? Could any of it be useful?

Every ten-pull guaranteed at least one Four-Star card, and every hundred pulls guaranteed a Five-Star card. Like most gacha games, Three-Star cards were useful but ultimately lacked significant value.

Qi Lanshi had pulled three Time Stop cards, three Time Acceleration cards, two Luck +1 cards, one Question Card, and one Four-Star Event Card.

Recalling the game’s earlier plot, Qi Lanshi regarded the Four-Star Event Card with deep skepticism. Could this thing actually be useful? Or would it just backfire spectacularly?

Of course it’s useful! It’s a date card! the System chimed in proactively. Just use it in the right setting, and it can quickly deepen your feelings. It’s very effective!

Qi Lanshi stared at the card for a moment, then smiled and nodded. “That makes sense. It all depends on how I use it.”

Seeing her smile, the System suddenly felt a foreboding sense of unease and dared not utter another word.

“My luck has always been terrible,” Qi Lanshi continued. “I’ll save these two luck-boosting cards for now and see if I can draw something good next time.”

As for the time acceleration and freeze cards, the fact that I got so many at once suggests they’re not particularly useful. I’ll set them aside for now. Maybe if I accumulate enough, they’ll have some special effect.

Based on yesterday’s events, Qi Lanshi estimated that Luan Hua’s feelings for her should have grown somewhat. Yet, Luan Hua still left at dawn as usual, which she must be deeply bothered by.

However, given Luan Hua’s notoriously stubborn personality, she wouldn’t express her displeasure directly. Instead, she’d likely resort to various cryptic methods to make Qi Lanshi realize she was upset and prompt her to come and coax her.

To Qi Lanshi’s surprise, Luan Hua showed no intention of contacting her at all.

“This is… interesting,” Qi Lanshi murmured, standing behind the cash register, her fingers tapping restlessly.

From the moment she entered the game, Luan Hua’s behavior and reactions had always fallen within Qi Lanshi’s expectations. This time, however, felt different.

Qi Lanshi had been looking forward to using this incident as an opportunity to live a decadent and carefree life, finally escaping her role as a miserable wage slave even within the game. But now…

Before she could finish her thought, the convenience store’s alarm suddenly blared. She looked up just in time to see a ragged, disabled figure—vaguely familiar—charging straight toward her.

Even someone as unflappable as Qi Lanshi couldn’t help but flinch at the sight, quickly stepping back two paces. But with the wall behind her, there was nowhere else to retreat.

“Lanlan, it’s me! It’s your father!” The man thrust his bare hand toward Qi Lanshi, shoving it relentlessly in her face. “I finally found you! I’ve missed you so much! Come out here!”

Once Qi Lanshi confirmed the man’s identity, her initial fear rapidly dissipated, replaced by cold indifference and composure.

The store manager, however, was visibly frightened by the scene. He stepped in front of Qi Lanshi, pushing Qi Feng’s shoulder.

“I don’t care who you are,” the manager said firmly. “You’re not causing trouble in my store. Leave now!” He turned to Qi Lanshi. “Should I call the police?”

Even if this man was truly Qi Lanshi’s father, he was clearly no good. His sudden appearance could be considered harassment.

“Thank you, Manager, but that won’t be necessary. He is my father,” Qi Lanshi said with a forced smile. “I’m sorry for causing trouble in the store. I can handle this myself. Please let me deal with it.”

Hearing this, Qi Feng bared his teeth in a twisted grin. “I told you she’s my daughter! What’s wrong with a father checking on his child? Why are you stopping me?”

His loud voice drew the attention of many customers in the busy convenience store. Some who had been about to enter hesitated and backed away.

At this moment, a flicker of anger finally ignited in Qi Lanshi’s heart.

She had always been someone with little conscience, indifferent to many things. In her miserable life, few people had ever treated her well, so she was especially unwilling to let these rare individuals suffer any negative consequences because of her.

Some foolish mistakes only needed to be made once.

“Come with me and stop disrupting their business,” Qi Lanshi said, taking off her convenience store uniform jacket. “You just want money, right? Come with me first, and I’ll give you whatever I have on hand.”

Qi Feng finally achieved his goal and left, satisfied.

Qi Lanshi apologized to the store manager, assuring him not to worry about it, and then followed Qi Feng out, walking until they reached a dimly lit alley with no surveillance cameras.

Seeing they were alone and unobserved, Qi Feng dropped his pretense, his expression turning vicious. “Hand over the money to me now, you little brat! Don’t think that just because you went to college and found a sugar daddy, you can abandon your own father!”

“I’m crippled now, and you think you’ll get off easy? You’ll still have to support me! You think you can get rid of me? Keep dreaming… Ah!”

Qi Feng’s rant was cut short when Qi Lanshi grabbed his head and slammed it violently against the wall.

A sickening thud echoed through the room. One would expect to see a spray of bl00d, but Qi Lanshi’s eyes registered only a viscous, green liquid splattering across the wall.

Utterly revolting.

Her composure nearly cracked. She couldn’t help but mentally ask the System, “Has this game really gotten this far? Wait, that doesn’t make sense. When I blew that man’s head off at the banquet yesterday, I didn’t see any green bl00d.”

That was red wine. The game’s bl00d is naturally green. Players will get used to it.

Qi Lanshi: “……” How utterly speechless.

Gripping Qi Feng’s head, careful to avoid the green bl00d, she smiled coldly and said, “I might give you the money, but whether you live long enough to collect it is another matter.”

“Threatening me? Look at yourself—what are you even worth?”
