My Villain Is Super Sweet (GL) - CHAPTER 80

Chen Cheng, feeling all confident with Gu Qingci by her side, arrogantly and vigorously criticized Lin Lang.

She dramatically pretended to pick up a hoe, hinting wildly at Gu Qingci: “Sister, look at me!”

To Lin Lang, it felt like watching a teenage boy ranting wildly, shouting, “Face the storm!”—utterly cringe-worthy.

Trying to be magnanimous, Lin Lang thought, “Since she managed to make Gu Qingci happy, I’ll let it slide for now.”

She said she wouldn’t hold it against Chen Cheng, but her actions spoke differently. Lin Lang, unable to hold back, almost impatiently made it clear: “Alright, alright, it’s getting late. You should head back and rest.”

Chen Cheng: …

What’s going on? It’s not even 9 p.m. yet!

Which young person goes to bed so early?

Tell me, are you trying to stop me from getting along with Qingci?

She shot Lin Lang a sideways glance, then turned to Gu Qingci, whining: “Qingci, look at her!”

There’s no hospitality here, and now she’s openly trying to kick me out.

Gu Qingci gently comforted her: “Alright, alright, I’ll talk to her. But have you been worrying too much lately? Look, your face looks more tired than before. You should take better care of yourself at night.”

Chen Cheng, horrified, touched her face: “Really?”

Although she was carefree, she knew that in the entertainment industry, her face was precious and needed to be well-maintained.

Gu Qingci nodded and sympathetically pointed out, “A full skincare routine takes at least an hour, right?”

Chen Cheng did the math in her head. She still wanted to take a bath and relax before starting her skincare, so it would take at least an hour and a half.

Then, she heard Gu Qingci share her skincare secrets: “Of course, the best skincare tip is to sleep before 11 p.m.”

Seeing Gu Qingci’s fair, radiant skin that seemed to glow with health, Chen Cheng suddenly realized. She quickly became anxious: “Qingci, your skin looks amazing. I… I better go back and get ready for bed!”

Lin Lang watched as Chen Cheng, who had been so stubborn about not leaving, now hurriedly ran off, and couldn’t help but give a thumbs up to Gu Qingci.

“You really know how to handle her. You got her to leave just like that.”

Gu Qingci teasingly replied, “It wasn’t about handling her. She was already planning to leave; I just followed her lead.”

She wasn’t eager to be a third wheel, but just teasing Lin Lang because she saw how anxious she was.

Lin Lang didn’t care about the rebellious teenage girl.

She only cared about her own night life!

This was something even Gu Qingci found a bit unbelievable.

They had been together for almost two years, and by now, they should have entered a stable phase, right? After all, they not only lived together but also worked together, spending nearly 18 hours a day with each other.

But Lin Lang’s enthusiasm for Gu Qingci hadn’t faded at all. In fact, it seemed to be growing stronger.

Of course, it was the same for Gu Qingci.

But there was one small difference.

When they first got together and experienced the excitement of love and desire, they couldn’t stand being apart for even a second and would end up tangled together constantly.

Now, they weren’t as impatient.

Even when they were being physically close, their passion remained just as intense.

But that wasn’t surprising. They were about to go on their honeymoon, after all. Still being madly in love and happy together seemed only natural!

As their honeymoon trip approached, some unexpected work came up, and Lin Lang had to make a trip to Hai City.

Worried that Gu Qingci might be too tired, Lin Lang decided to go on her own.

She had been running around for three or four days straight, and just before they were supposed to leave, she returned to Beijing exhausted. She had barely gotten off the plane from Hai City before she and Gu Qingci got on another flight, this time heading to their honeymoon destination.

She looked utterly drained when she arrived, which made Gu Qingci’s heart ache.

Someone as strong as Lin Lang was so tired—it was obvious just how rushed everything had been. And soon, they’d be on another eight or nine-hour flight. It was exhausting.

The young lady gently touched Lin Lang’s face and whispered a little complaint: “We could’ve left a day or two later, you know? Why rush?”

Lin Lang, weakly smiling, scratched her face in a somewhat guilty manner: “It’s fine, I’m not that tired. I’ll sleep on the plane and be fine.”

Gu Qingci didn’t buy it.

Only someone who hadn’t flown such long flights would think they could actually rest properly on a plane.

She muttered, “You’ll see soon enough.”

Sure enough, that night, after landing, Lin Lang developed a fever in the middle of the night.

She didn’t realize it herself and was sleeping heavily, but her restless sleep woke up Gu Qingci.

The young lady, startled, quickly got up and called for the doctor.

Lin Lang groggily opened her eyes, feeling weak. When she spoke, her voice was so hoarse it even surprised her.

She saw the worry and concern on Gu Qingci’s face, and with what little strength she had left, tried to comfort her: “Don’t worry, I’m fine. I’m in good health, I’ll just sleep it off.”

Gu Qingci, frustrated, slapped the bed hard, angrily saying, “Shut up!”

She shouldn’t have coddled her like this. She should’ve insisted on delaying their trip.

Lin Lang was definitely trying to save a little money and didn’t want to reschedule.

Lin Lang quietly closed her mouth, feeling wronged.

A short while later, she gave Gu Qingci a pitiful look.
Gu Qingci, holding back her anger and reminding herself over and over that “she’s the patient,” finally managed to calm down and asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”
Lin Lang hoarsely managed to say a single word: “Water.”

She was so thirsty she could die!

Gu Qingci carefully helped her sit up, not letting her move her hands, and fed her a glass of lukewarm water.

As she fed her, she couldn’t help but mutter, “Let’s see if you dare to act tough next time.”

“Always thinking you’re strong, thinking your body is invincible, huh?”

“If you do this again next time, I won’t bother with you.”

…

Probably because she was sick, Lin Lang felt especially wronged hearing Gu Qingci scold her like this: “I’m already sick, and you’re still scolding me.”

She threw herself into Gu Qingci’s arms, burying her face, and pouted while complaining, “You don’t even care about me.”

Gu Qingci was both angry and amused. She wanted to scold her but also felt sorry for her since she was sick. In the end, her pity won over, and she softened her tone: “Alright, alright, I won’t scold you anymore, but you can’t act reckless like this again, okay?”

This girl always relied on her strong body to overdo things.
Even when she was already exhausted, she still tried to enjoy the perks of their honeymoon.

Now, she’d gotten herself sick. Maybe this would teach her to behave for a few days, right?

The doctor came, checked on Lin Lang, and babbled a long list to Gu Qingci, before giving Lin Lang an IV and some medicine.

After all the fuss, by the time the IV was done, the night was almost over and the sky was starting to lighten.

Lin Lang’s strong constitution still worked in her favor. After a nap, sweating out the fever, she woke up, took a shower, and immediately felt revitalized. She thought she was completely fine now and as energetic as ever.

It was Gu Qingci, on the other hand, who seemed far more exhausted after staying up most of the night to take care of her. She looked even more tired than Lin Lang.

Even though Lin Lang kept insisting she was fine, Gu Qingci firmly refused to let her go out and have fun.

A patient at least had to look the part.

No going anywhere today. Just stay in the hotel and rest. After dinner, you can take a stroll by the beach and enjoy the sunset. That’s it.

No intense activities allowed.

When Lin Lang tried to get some intimacy later that night and was turned down, she was completely stunned.

“This doesn’t even count as intense exercise!”

It was supposed to be a very gentle, flexible workout that kept the body young.

Gu Qingci answered seriously: “To me, it counts.”

She couldn’t help but laugh a little: “And besides, you know this, right? You’ve already used up your ‘allowance’ for these days!”

What else could she do? She was just looking out for her as a good girlfriend!

Lin Lang dramatically flopped down onto the bed.

She held her head in her hands, wailing dramatically, pretending to cry while covering her face and choking out, “I was wrong. I really was wrong.”

Gu Qingci, mercilessly exposing her act, replied: “Even though you’re pretending, it’s good that you realize your mistake.”

If it weren’t for this stubborn girl always ignoring the lessons, next time, she would have to come up with an even stranger punishment, like reducing the number of times!

Other people’s punishments would increase the number of times!

On the third morning after they arrived, Gu Qingci confirmed that Lin Lang was back to her energetic self before allowing her to go out.

Lin Lang happily spent the day playing to her heart’s content.

Snorkeling, surfing, fishing…

She did everything that was fun. She even got especially into surfing, going back for more fun over the next few days.

Gu Qingci found it tiring and didn’t want to go again after trying it once.

So, Lin Lang specially went in the mornings, treating it as a way to exercise, spending two hours before returning to the hotel to meet up with Gu Qingci.

Gu Qingci didn’t stop her and even took care of some of Lin Lang’s remote work, handling her own business in the morning as well.

On Lin Lang’s birthday, after a candlelit dinner, she eagerly wanted to return to their room—this way, they could have a long night, taking their time. She secretly prepared some fun little gadgets, hoping to entertain Gu Qingci and use them all.

Just thinking about it made her heart race.

Gu Qingci was so tempting, and she could be even more so!

However, Gu Qingci felt the opposite. She didn’t want to go back too soon.

They were together all day, who didn’t know everything about the other?

The longer they stayed out, the more relaxed they could be.

So, when Lin Lang sweetly suggested, “It’s getting a bit chilly, let’s go back to the room?”

Gu Qingci replied even more eagerly, “This bar here is quite unique, why don’t we sit and enjoy a drink?”

It was well-known that Lin Lang found it hard to say no to Gu Qingci.

Especially when Gu Qingci slightly tilted her head, holding Lin Lang’s arm, soft and sweetly asking.

Well, Lin Lang knew that Gu Qingci was doing it on purpose, but…

As the saying goes, “Since we’re here, we might as well stay a little longer…”
Of course, she just had to go along with it!

The most famous bar on the island was inside the hotel where they were staying.

It was a weekday, and they arrived early, so there were only a few guests. They chose a spot by the pool and settled down.

The night breeze was gentle, the lights were soft and dim, and the music was either upbeat and strong or tender and alluring, making it easy to lose oneself in the atmosphere.

As time passed, more people began to fill the area, and their corner gradually became crowded.

Suddenly, there was a loud “bang!” Lin Lang was facing away from it, so she thought it was just the beat of the drums. It wasn’t until Gu Qingci called out, “Watch out!” that she realized something was wrong.

The people at the table next to theirs were probably drunk. As someone walked by their table, they accidentally bumped into them. Before they could even apologize, they were grabbed and punched.

The situation quickly escalated. The two men fought back, rolling around and knocking over two tables in the process. It seemed like they were about to crash into Lin Lang’s table.

She didn’t even have time to stand up before the chair was knocked violently, sending her sliding nearly half a meter out of her seat.

Luckily, she reacted quickly and jumped up in time, otherwise, she would have ended up falling into the pool along with the chair.

As the two men knocked her chair aside, their next target was Gu Qingci.

Lin Lang’s temper flared. Her eyes turned fierce as she kicked one of the fighters, knocking him down. She quickly moved in, pulled the two apart, and seized the biggest and strongest one, twisting his arms behind his back and pressing him firmly to the ground.

When dealing with a fight, it was always a good idea to take down the biggest and strongest first!

After all, when you’re small and weak, you wouldn’t just randomly challenge someone bigger and stronger than you to a fight.

The man struggled violently, using all his strength, veins bulging, but he couldn’t escape Lin Lang’s hold.

Frustrated, he started cursing at her.

Lin Lang, being considerate, responded slowly and in broken English, “I’m not good at English, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

In other words, she wasn’t going to waste her time trying to listen to him.

The man continued to curse angrily.

He didn’t care if she understood or not—he was going to curse anyway!

The people around them, watching the scene unfold, whispered, “Wow, is these Chinese martial arts? How else could she so easily overpower two big guys, making them completely helpless?”

Finally, the security guards arrived late, took the fighters away, and even politely thanked Lin Lang.

Gu Qingci was holding Lin Lang’s hand, checking if she was hurt.

“Hey, Gu, it’s really you!” A surprised and happy voice came from the front. Looking in the direction of the voice, a young, muscular man with blonde hair and blue eyes, and deep, handsome features, was waving enthusiastically at Gu Qingci.

Gu Qingci smiled and nodded, “Chris.”

This was a former classmate of hers from her study abroad days, from a family with noble titles. He was somewhat arrogant, a notorious playboy, and a stamp collector. His ex-girlfriends came in all shapes and sizes, and he had dated women from at least a third of the countries in the world.

He had once tried to flirt with her, but she had some boundaries. She was clear that things had to be mutual and straightforward.

After being rejected a few times, they had simply moved on from it.

Chris walked over enthusiastically, his gaze scanning Lin Lang with a certain intrigue. He had just seen her fight skillfully and found it extremely captivating. She was like his new muse, the woman of his dreams.

Hurrying over, he figured since she was with Gu Qingci, getting to know her would be easy.

He flashed a smile that he thought was charming and said, “After you graduated and returned to the country, we meet again here. Isn’t this fate? It’s beautiful, don’t you think?”

Gu Qingci knew exactly what that gleam in his eye meant.

She quickly switched to a polite, distant tone and asked pointedly, “Is that so? Are you here for a honeymoon too?”
Chris shrugged dramatically and replied, “Oh my god, how could we? We’re still young, we don’t plan on getting married just yet.”

Gu Qingci of course knew he wasn’t here for a honeymoon. She had asked this just to subtly indicate that she was here for hers.

But Chris clearly wasn’t paying attention to the subtext. Instead, he went straight to the point: “Gu, can you introduce me to your friend? She’s so cool.”

Gu Qingci pursed her lips. “Of course.”

She introduced them half-heartedly, while Chris remained enthusiastic, making Lin Lang seem even more indifferent.

Someone suddenly popping up to perform a friendly reunion with Gu Qingci, taking up their alone time—no wonder she was cold.

Gu Qingci quickly clarified, “She’s not great with languages, so anything too complicated, I’ll have to translate for her.”

Chris raised an eyebrow. Not great with languages? That could be a bit of a hassle, but it was a small problem he could deal with.

Though he didn’t understand why Gu Qingci was so easygoing, that didn’t stop him from repeatedly thanking her, eager to get information from Gu Qingci about his new muse.

“Oh, Gu, what does your friend do?”

Knowing what she did would help him understand how to approach her more precisely.

Gu Qingci smiled faintly, already anticipating this question from Chris.

She responded vaguely, cleverly shifting the meaning: “She does things that maintain order.”

For example, debt collection was about maintaining the order of “borrow and return, no problem.”

“No one is allowed to break her rules in her domain.”

She worked for a security company that provided services for the wealthy, with a clear set of rules that couldn’t be violated.

As she finished her brief introduction, Chris’s expression slowly turned dazed, his mouth hanging open, forming an “O.”

A globally known, famous name slipped from his lips: “The Godfather?”
