My Villain Is Super Sweet (GL) - CHAPTER 50

The early spring sunlight slipped through the gaps in the curtains, leaping into the bedroom.
When Gu Qingci woke up, she was the only one left in bed.
The clothes scattered across the floor during their passionate night had already been picked up, folded neatly, and placed by the bedside for easy access.
The young lady felt a bit upset — after spending Valentine’s night together, how could one leave the bed empty the next morning?
Lin Lang was truly unbearable!
Muttering to herself, she got up. Just as she reached the master bedroom’s bathroom door, she caught bits of conversation coming from the living room and suddenly remembered — oh, right, Lin Lang had arranged to meet a lawyer today to discuss how to legally sever ties with her scummy parents.
Lin Lang wasn’t planning to acknowledge the He family, so there was no need for any paternity tests or similar nonsense.
She simply wanted to cut off all ties with the Lin family, so those toxic people couldn’t use the excuse of being “family” to manipulate or betray her again.
The lawyer calmly pointed out, “Given that they tried to have you committed to a mental institution to seize your assets, a judge will likely support your request to sever ties. Also, I recommend you forgo seeking damages — this will minimize the impact.”
Although Lin Lang wanted to hit her trash parents where it hurt — now that they’d torn the mask off, she wanted to be ruthless — the lawyer’s advice made sense. After weighing the pros and cons, she agreed, “Alright, let’s do it your way.”
The priority was to completely and quickly sever ties.
As long as that major goal was achieved, the details didn’t matter.

After Gu Qingci finished washing up and changing clothes, she hesitated about whether to go out. At that moment, she overheard Lin Lang asking the lawyer another question:

“If I want to appoint a guardian through an advance directive, what’s the legal process?”

To the lawyer, this was a simple matter.
“Who do you want to appoint? According to the Civil Code enacted two years ago, as long as you get the other party’s consent and the two of you go together to notarize it, it’s legally binding.”
Lin Lang smiled slyly but didn’t reveal who she wanted to appoint.
Are you kidding? This lawyer had a longstanding relationship with Aunt Gu — if she found out, Aunt Gu would find out too!
Miss Gu wasn’t ready to let her mom know about their relationship yet — she wasn’t about to poke the tiger.

She also took the opportunity to inquire about writing a will to designate an heir or make a gift.
After the lawyer left, Gu Qingci sat down next to Lin Lang, poked her, and asked, puzzled, “Why are you arranging for a guardian and writing a will?”
It’s not that it was wrong — it just seemed like Lin Lang had been truly frightened this time, to the point of making such long-term plans.
How could anyone not feel tender toward her?

Lin Lang hugged the young lady tightly, smiling:
“I’m giving you power, see? It’s not quite the same as legal marriage rights, but close enough. You’d be able to exercise partner rights.”

Lin Lang wasn’t sure if she had narrowly escaped death or not — if anything happened again, and her assets ended up in the hands of those trashy Lin and He families, she’d die of anger a second time!
Leaving everything to Gu Qingci — she was willing.

Gu Qingci nodded thoughtfully.
To some, maybe all this would feel unlucky, but she could feel Lin Lang’s deep, careful love for her in every thoughtful action, and her heart melted sweetly.
She made up her mind — she would grant Lin Lang the same rights!

After their cuddle session, they got ready to go out. Before leaving, Gu Qingci, worried about her outfit, insisted on having Lin Lang pick a few options.
Lin Lang was both amused and helpless.
“You look good in everything!”
“Don’t worry, no matter how many people show up, no one’s as beautiful as you!”
“I’m exercising my rights as a girlfriend — you’re the most beautiful, and only I can admire you!”

(Of course, her favorite look was when the young lady wore nothing — but that thought stayed unspoken.)

No matter how many sweet words Lin Lang poured out, Gu Qingci still wouldn’t fully believe her. After trying on a few outfits, she ultimately went back to the original choice.

This time they were meeting Lin Lang’s friends.
Last time they went out, it had been with Gu Qingci’s roommates; now it was Lin Lang’s turn.
The young lady had promised herself that she would get to know Lin Lang’s friends after last time — when Lin Lang went missing, she had no one to contact. That regret weighed on her.

The destination was a newly developed natural lake resort near Rong City.
While driving there, Gu Qingci suddenly thought of something. She turned to the focused Lin Lang and asked sweetly,
“How do you plan to introduce me to them later?”

Lin Lang teased, “Leader?”
Gu Qingci gave a nasal “Hmm?” — clearly displeased.
Lin Lang laughed and didn’t push her luck. She answered properly,
“Girlfriend. My darling girlfriend. How about that?”
Finally satisfied, Gu Qingci nodded with a hidden smile:
“Permission granted.”

It would be their first appearance as a couple. She was a little excited!
Before this…
Well, better not to mention it.
Ever since confirming their relationship, their free time was spent either working or glued to each other — no chance for any social gatherings.

They arrived just in time — nearly everyone showed up simultaneously.
Lin Lang held Gu Qingci’s hand and introduced her one by one:
“This is Yang Ting, Shang Shu, and Qi Miao — all single for now.”
“Hang Huada and his girlfriend, Yan Juan.”
“Wen Yuan and her boyfriend, Pu Jie.”
“Lei Lei and her girlfriend, Zhu Zhilian.”

After introducing her “rowdy friends and their partners,” Lin Lang proudly puffed out her chest and grandly presented her girlfriend:
“My girlfriend, Gu Qingci.”

Everyone gave a collective “Wow!”
“Hello, Sister Gu!”
“Hello, Sister-in-law!”

The greetings were loud but chaotic — different titles all over the place.
Before Gu Qingci or Lin Lang could react, the group was already arguing among themselves:
Those calling her sister-in-law scolded the “sister” group:
“Don’t you know the rules? She’s Lin San’s girlfriend — she should be addressed as sister-in-law!”
Those calling her “Sister Gu” shot back:
“What’s wrong with calling her sister? It’s respectful! ‘Sister-in-law’ sounds so old and boring!”

Lin Lang quickly tried to mediate:
“Alright, alright—”
But she got immediately shouted down:
“Lin San, shut up! This is our battle — none of your business!”

Lin Lang: ???
Wait, how is this not my business?!
That’s my girlfriend!

Completely ignored, Lin Lang could only watch helplessly as they continued their heated debate.
Gu Qingci found it hilarious and couldn’t help but giggle, nudging Lin Lang teasingly,
“What’s wrong? No status even with your own friends?”

Lin Lang’s fists itched for violence.
This bunch — let them out of her sight for three days, and they climb the walls!
Finally, she ended the nonsense with an iron fist:
“Just call her ‘Sister Gu,’ okay?!”
No way she was letting them call her girlfriend “sister-in-law” — like she was some mob boss or something!

Gu Qingci pinched the soft flesh on Lin Lang’s waist:
“Just call me Qingci.”
Neither “Sister-in-law” nor “Sister Gu” pleased her.
Her name was so nice — not calling it would be a waste!

Lin Lang’s friends, skilled at creatively interpreting every word, immediately chorused,
“Qingci-jie!” (Sister Qingci)

Gu Qingci: …
Fine. At least it sounded better than “Sister Gu.”
At least now she wasn’t sharing a title with her own mother.

Gu Qingci quite liked hanging out with Lin Lang’s funny group.
In her usual social circle, people were either proud heirs or brilliant scholars — all either too haughty or too aloof.
But Lin Lang and her friends were different — full of rough charm and lively street spirit.
They loved fiercely, hated openly, and lived messily but joyfully.

They booked a hotel and had a lakeside barbecue at night.
Beer crates piled high, slabs of meat grilled to perfection, with loud laughs and casual banter filling the air.

Yang Ting was telling a story about a recent failed blind date:
“A while back, after my breakup, some relatives insisted on setting me up. Swore up and down that the guy was tall, handsome, a ‘premium stock.’
I thought, whatever, one more guy is no big deal.”

Everyone hooted:
“So? Was he handsome?”
“Ting only cares if they’re hot!”

Yang Ting waved them off and continued:
“I drove my BMW there. As soon as that turtle-egg saw it, he started grilling me about my income and stuff.”

Everyone could tell it didn’t end well — she was already calling him names!
“I gave a vague answer, and he kept prying. So I told him my friend and I co-own a business.
Then he got all weird and passive-aggressive — hinting like, was this ‘friend’ just a ‘sugar daddy’ in disguise?”
She spat in disgust.

“I slapped him right then and there!”
“Who the hell does he think he is?!”
“Men make money and they’re praised; women make money, and they must have a sugar daddy?!”
“He thinks all the money in the world grows on men?”

She slammed the table.
“In hindsight, I should have slapped him harder!”

Everyone cheered and clapped for Ting:
“Boss Ting! Teach those fools a lesson!”

Someone started teasing Lin Lang:
“Hey, Lin San!”
“Are you Ting’s sugar daddy?!”
“Careful, she might want a dozen sugar daddies like you!”

Lin Lang broke into a cold sweat.
She wanted to call for help — these fools had no filter!
Didn’t they see her precious girlfriend sitting right there, giving her a death glare?!
