My Villain Is Super Sweet (GL) - CHAPTER 79

After dinner, Chen Cheng happily left. She felt that Lin Lang and Gu Qingci were absolutely right—if she started a company and invested in related projects, she wouldn’t have to worry about not getting roles.

She could even invite veteran actors to teach her acting and improve her skills!

Hiring teachers for her own actors and considering the cost-effectiveness would be a concern. But hiring a teacher just for herself and guiding her own actors was a whole different story—no need to worry about that!

The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. She had to hurry and go discuss it with her brother!

When she told her brother about it, Fang Baihui immediately realized what she was saying and slapped his forehead in frustration. “Ah, how did I not think of this?”

Sometimes, it’s just a matter of not having that one key idea, but once someone points it out, your mind can come up with several solutions in an instant.

When Lin Lang finished washing the dishes and came out, Gu Qingci was smiling at her.

Lin Lang dried her hands and walked over. “What’s up?”

Gu Qingci had been watching her with a smile. She felt like Lin Lang was probably scheming something bad.

Gu Qingci rested her chin in her hand as she looked at her. “Nothing, just thinking about you.”

Ah, she was thinking about her!

Lin Lang couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. After all, she’d just gone to wash the dishes and tidy up the kitchen, and in that short time apart, Gu Qingci had been thinking about her.

How embarrassing!

Feeling flustered, Lin Lang smiled widely and sat next to her. She reached out to hug her, but was stopped.

Then, Gu Qingci slowly finished her sentence. “I was thinking, how did you get Chen Cheng to start a company?”

Lin Lang’s expression showed a hint of disappointment, but she still replied, “Well, that was still thinking about me!”

Gu Qingci smiled indulgently, her eyes curving. “Alright, alright, you were thinking about me. Now tell me!”

Lin Lang pulled her into her arms and playfully squeezed her. After having her fun, she pretended to be serious. “We need to unite all the forces we can.”

The enemy of my enemy is my friend—bringing in the enemy’s potential allies is the same principle.

The first part sounded noble and upright, but the second took a more fantastical turn. “What if there’s a fateful connection between them? Shouldn’t we do everything we can to sever that bond?”

She wasn’t trying to steal someone’s partner, but to destroy the foundation that would allow the male and female leads to meet, know each other, and fall in love.

Once the female lead has her family’s support, she will no longer be an isolated island. She’ll be successful, walking with confidence, and happy. She won’t encounter so many dirty and disgusting things, and the male lead won’t need to save her. Even if he does come to her, it’ll be a nice addition rather than something she truly needs…

How could they still start anything under these conditions?

Chen Cheng would no longer be a helpless, miserable person who refuses to admit failure to her family.

And He Jikai would no longer be the powerful CEO. Not only would he lose his CEO glow, but he’d also get labeled with a “sexual assault attempt” tag that most normal women would find repulsive.

If they still managed to start anything, Lin Lang would have to bow down in admiration!

Unless the heavens had to force Chen Cheng to lose her mind and drink a potion to make her forget her senses.

Other than that, Lin Lang couldn’t imagine how Chen Cheng could fall for someone like He Jikai.

Gu Qingci leaned against Lin Lang, gazing up at her quietly. After a long pause, she reached out, her fingers gently tracing the outline of Lin Lang’s face. “Lin Lang, you need to relax.”

Lin Lang looked at her in confusion, silently asking, “Where am I not relaxed?”

“The He family has fallen, and He Jikai is in prison. We have trustworthy bodyguards you’ve handpicked.”

“As long as it’s not an extreme situation, our safety is well-guarded.”

Lin Lang lowered her gaze to her, hesitating. “Am I really that tense?”

She didn’t feel that way. She just kept thinking about how to ensure that He Jikai wouldn’t rise again.

Gu Qingci wrapped her arm around Lin Lang’s neck and kissed her lightly. “I know you’re worried about me.”

“But that’s enough.”

It’s good to prevent problems before they arise, but going overboard is unnecessary.

If they lived in constant fear of He Jikai, that would be a bit too much.

They couldn’t let their lives revolve around how to avoid him causing trouble.

“Don’t let him keep haunting us, affecting our lives.”

Gu Qingci shifted into a more comfortable position, cuddling in Lin Lang’s arms, her head resting on her shoulder. Her lips nearly brushed Lin Lang’s ear. “And don’t you think that, instead of him being some destined child of fate, it’s you who fits that description?”

“Otherwise, why would you have had that dream?”

“Now, things are different from that dream. You’ve already changed so many things.”
“I haven’t been hurt, and you’re still doing fine. We’re together, and we’re doing great. Isn’t that enough?”

Lin Lang slowly lowered her head, their foreheads touching, their breaths mingling. They stayed like that for a while in silence, before Lin Lang softly replied, “Yes.”

Gu Qingci’s words were really sweet, and Lin Lang felt happy hearing them, chuckling stupidly to herself.

Hmm, the young lady thinks that she’s the one favored by fate!

The fact that she had this dream meant that the heavens couldn’t bear to watch things go wrong, so they cheated a little, bending the rules to guide things back on track.
“You’re right.”

Indeed, they couldn’t be overly cautious about everything. They needed to respect the enemy tactically, but look down on them strategically!

But before that…

Lin Lang, still smiling, lowered her voice mysteriously, even though there were only the two of them at home. She spoke as if whispering to her desk mate during class, teasingly asking Gu Qingci, “Be honest, were you… jealous? Hmm?”

She’d just talked a bit too much with Chen Cheng earlier, and it seemed like they had been in their own little world for too long. Thinking back, maybe she had neglected Gu Qingci a little.

So, was the young lady upset?

Gu Qingci’s face immediately flushed pink. Embarrassed and angry, she pushed Lin Lang’s face away with a slap.

“Ugh, stop talking about it!”

You already know, so why bring it up!

“Jerk!”

The young lady’s little secret had been exposed, and she was mad now!

She shoved Lin Lang away, fuming, “I’m not hugging you anymore!”

It’s better to leave things unsaid if they’re good friends. But if you have to point it out, then we can’t even be friends anymore.

Lin Lang couldn’t help but find her adorable, her heart nearly bursting with laughter.

But she had to stop herself from laughing.

Otherwise, the young lady would get even angrier.

Quickly, she changed the subject to divert her attention: “Weren’t you really looking forward to our honeymoon? How about we pick a time at the end of the year?”

The young lady, still pouting, wasn’t cooperating at all and grumbled, “Who wants to go on a honeymoon with you?”

Do you have no shame?!

Lin Lang lowered her head, looking obedient. “I really want to go on a honeymoon with you, I’m super excited!”

“Won’t you show a little mercy and come with me? Just pity me?”

The young lady shot her a glance. “Aren’t you the capable one? Why would you need me to go with you?”

“Hmph, serves you right for exposing me!”

Lin Lang pretended she didn’t hear.

If she made the young lady mad, it was her responsibility to fix it.

What else could she do?

She became very serious and began listing all the things she’d researched about the honeymoon destination—what was fun, what was delicious, and what experiences they shouldn’t miss. “How about we try everything one by one?”

The young lady’s lips curled into a small smile, her face looking much better, but she still stubbornly said, “Hmph.”

Although Lin Lang had done a lot of homework, which was really impressive and worth praising, the young lady wasn’t quite ready to forgive her yet.

Lin Lang noticed this and thought, silently, Looks like she’s trying to force me to pull out my secret weapon!

She lowered her gaze, her long lashes fluttering, revealing a rare moment of vulnerability and confusion. In a pitiful tone, she whispered, “Please don’t ignore me, okay?”
With a hesitant expression, every word seemed hard to say: “I was thinking of scheduling it for late November, early December.”

Her voice grew softer, almost a whisper: “All these years, you’re the first person to remember to celebrate my birthday for me.”
“I just wanted to combine the honeymoon and my birthday, so that every birthday from now on would be a sweet memory…”

Before she could finish, the young lady, sulking, threw a pillow at her. After hitting her, she pulled her into a hug, soothing her: “Alright, alright, go on then!”

“You’re so annoying! I know you’re just pretending to be pitiful to make me soft!”

What was even more frustrating was that, despite knowing she was pretending, she still fell for it!

Seeing her fragile and confused, thinking about her tough childhood, which was worse than bitter herbs, made her heart ache.

The young lady, fuming inside, thought to herself: “Alright, I’ll indulge her for two more years, maybe three.”

When she turns thirty, Lin Lang won’t be able to act cute and play the victim anymore!

After giving her a little scolding, Lin Lang suddenly brightened up.

But since she was already in the act of pretending to be pitiful and fragile, she curled up in Gu Qingci’s arms. Then, taking out her phone, she opened the page for booking flights and hotels and weakly asked, “So, should I book the flight for the 27th? How about returning on the 5th?”

Gu Qingci glanced at her: “Do you really need to ask me? You know my schedule better than I do. As long as nothing urgent comes up during that time, it’s fine.”

“I just wanted you to feel involved.”

Gu Qingci pinched her. “You talk too much!”

Lin Lang immediately twisted her face into an exaggerated expression, quickly kneeling and begging for mercy.

In no time at all, she had booked the flight and, with quick hands, also booked the honeymoon suite at the hotel she had already picked out.

Both of them were independent and didn’t need to worry about taking time off. Once the honeymoon was booked, any future plans could just avoid overlapping with that time.

They were only going for about eight or nine days, and if something urgent came up, it could always be rescheduled.

After all, the world wouldn’t end just because they were on vacation.

Thanks to Lin Lang’s creative suggestion, Chen Cheng and Fang Baihui teamed up to come up with a plan. After some discussion, they managed to get the family’s approval and concession.

What else could they do? Their silly daughter was determined to enter the entertainment industry, and nothing could stop her. She had been arguing with the family for a whole year, refusing to back down or soften her stance with the elders.

Now, at least she was learning how to package her approach, which was already quite moving.

Plus, Fang Baihui had sighed dramatically, saying that his silly sister was out there all alone, and with her appearance, how many people with bad intentions were eyeing her?

If the family didn’t support her, wouldn’t she be taken advantage of in the future?

Last time, she was lucky enough to meet Gu Qingci, who was willing to step in. But what if it had been someone who didn’t want to get involved? She would have suffered terribly!

As he spoke, he wiped away fake tears.

Since his sister refused to soften up, he would speak on her behalf!

He truly was the nation’s best brother!

The family couldn’t stand his constant tears and ordered him to leave.

The next day, they told him to help his sister get settled and stand firm, making sure no one bullied her!

At first, the family had refused to agree, but after seeing their child suffer and still refuse to compromise, all the blame fell on Chen Cheng.

Who told her to be so stubborn and headstrong, declaring she had no daughter like this and cutting off all contact with the family?

If she had just softened a little and said a few kind words, the family would have relented. But she didn’t, and even tore down the ladder they had built for her.

Now, after a whole year, the family had finally set down the ladder for her. She had to climb down from it!
With the family’s approval and access to their resources and connections, everything suddenly became smooth sailing, and Chen Cheng was absolutely thrilled.

When she went to visit Gu Qingci and Lin Lang again, hoping for a free meal, she couldn’t help but mention this new development with excitement. If it weren’t for Gu Qingci being there, she would have rushed to kiss Lin Lang in gratitude!
She was so thankful for the way Lin Lang had opened her eyes.
If it weren’t for the idea Lin Lang had given her, she would have had no idea how long she would have to continue fighting with her family to gain their support.

Gu Qingci took a bite of the fruit Lin Lang had cut for her and, after swallowing, spoke on behalf of their little family, offering Chen Cheng her congratulations: “Congrats! It’s like the clouds have parted, and now the moon’s visible. Things will go more smoothly from here.”
Chen Cheng, holding her small bowl of fruit, looked at the two of them feeding each other and constantly showing off their affection. It made her feel like the fruit in her bowl had suddenly lost its sweetness.

She sighed deeply. “Ugh! Ever since you two knew I understood your relationship, you’ve been too lazy to hide it. You’re always rubbing it in my face, showing off your love!”
Isn’t it a bit cruel to treat a single person like this?!
She propped her chin in her hand and sighed, watching the couple: “Ah, seeing you two like this, it makes me want to fall in love too!”
Lin Lang, unfazed, replied: “Then go ahead.”

Chen Cheng continued to look melancholy: “It’s not that simple. Nowadays, either people are too greasy, or the ones who aren’t too greasy are just too calculating. I can’t handle that.”
Looking at the natural and harmonious way Lin Lang and Gu Qingci interacted, with love and sweetness in every gesture, she became curious: “Hey, tell me, how did you two meet, and how did you end up together? Who made the first move?”

She’d been wanting to know for a long time!

If it was Gu Qingci who made the first move, then it was obvious that, during their interactions, Gu Qingci was more reserved in her emotional expressions compared to Lin Lang, who was clearly more open and bold.

It was hard to imagine the usually composed Gu Qingci being the one to actively pursue love.

But if it was Lin Lang who made the first move—
Wow, that would mean she had a lot of guts, not only to pursue her superior but also to boldly confess.

What was even more enviable was that she actually succeeded in winning over the beautiful woman!
Chen Cheng felt a pang of jealousy, wishing she could have that kind of luck and courage!
Gu Qingci and Lin Lang exchanged a glance and couldn’t help but laugh.
Lin Lang had no shame about it and said directly, “It was a bit of both, but I was more proactive, right?”
She even politely asked for Gu Qingci’s confirmation.
Gu Qingci didn’t deny it. After a moment of thought, she replied tactfully, “Actually, at the beginning, she misunderstood.”
What was meant to be a friendly gesture between same-s3x friends somehow became ambiguous because of Lin Lang!
And then, Gu Qingci was forced to give in.
The young lady immediately chose to forget about her own teasing, testing Lin Lang in bed early on.
She didn’t do it. She didn’t! How could she have been so crazy, right?
Lin Lang stared at her in disbelief, while the young lady gently gazed back.
Lin Lang eventually surrendered, sweetly taking the blame.

“Yes, I misunderstood. But it’s okay, even though it was a bit of a mix-up, we ended up together anyway!”

With her curiosity about their relationship history satisfied, Chen Cheng’s gossip needs were fully met.

Lin Lang, who believed in the principle of giving back when someone gossips about her, decided to ask: “So, what kind of person are you looking for? You must have some kind of standard, right? It would make it easier to find someone.”
Chen Cheng immediately answered without hesitation: “Someone good-looking.”
Things like broad shoulders and long legs are obvious, but for the more subtle standards, those can only be figured out by trying.

But the most important thing is that they need to be good-looking.
After all, she’s so pretty herself, and if her partner didn’t look good enough, they wouldn’t match, right?
Lin Lang exchanged a knowing glance with Gu Qingci. She figured out that Chen Cheng probably liked He Jikai’s face and his gentlemanly demeanor.

Lin Lang waved her hand dismissively: “Is that all you care about? Don’t you care about things like character or personality?”
Chen Cheng looked at Lin Lang as if she had just heard something unbelievable, sizing her up for a moment.
“Well, you’ve got to be good-looking first, before you even think about spending time getting to know their character, right?”

Once she started talking about this, Chen Cheng couldn’t stop.

“By the way, if you weren’t so good-looking, I’d feel sorry for Qingci!”

“Look at you. You’re so good-looking, and when you’re with Qingci, people will just say, ‘Oh, CEO Gu has good taste; her boy toy looks presentable.'”

If Lin Lang had been drinking, she would have choked.

“What? What did you just say?”

Chen Cheng rolled her eyes, clearly hearing everything but pretending not to.
It was just that Lin Lang didn’t want to hear it, so she was subtly signaling her to retract her words.
But Chen Cheng wasn’t having it!

“If you weren’t so good-looking, when you two went out, people would definitely think you’re super rich. Do you believe me?”

Lin Lang was still stuck on the “boy toy” comment, so she casually dismissed it: “Why’s that?”
Gu Qingci, with her beautiful eyes, also turned to look at Chen Cheng, clearly interested in the conversation.
“Because Qingci is so beautiful,” Chen Cheng said, her mouth watering as she started praising Gu Qingci: “She’s beautiful, kind, has a great figure, and an amazing temperament. I’m totally dying here!”

Gu Qingci couldn’t help but laugh, while Lin Lang’s face turned a little pale.
Seeing the beautiful woman laughing, Chen Cheng became more excited. She was familiar with the household power dynamics. As long as she could make the beautiful woman happy, Lin Lang wouldn’t be able to stop her!

“Someone like Qingci, so perfect, if anyone stands next to her but doesn’t look good enough, they’ll automatically look super rich!”

It’s like when a rough coal tycoon is with an incredibly beautiful woman. It’s obvious they must have a lot of money.

Otherwise, how could they have the right to be with someone so beautiful?

Ah, just thinking about it makes her so heartbroken at the thought of others mistakenly believing that Qingci is being kept by Lin Lang!

So, it’s better to let them think that Lin Lang is Qingci’s little boy toy!
“Beautiful women choose their partners based on talent, wealth, or at least looks, right?”

“Otherwise, how could she end up with someone like you?”

“You think you can get a beautiful woman just because of your face?”
