My System Forces Me to Live off Women

Chapter 453 - 316: Fengfeng, I..._3

"Don’t say that... Let’s eat, and we’ll talk privately after dinner."

Huang Tianxuan indeed stopped talking, appearing nonchalant, but inside, she was cursing.

[You damn bastard! I know you can hear what I’m thinking, so listen carefully. I changed my plans on your orders, canceled my flight, and put off a lot of work and important matters, having no time to play games with you. I’ve had enough of your antics. If you dare not choose me on the seventh, making this trip a waste, I’ll publish our chat logs online, and I’ll write a post exposing all your scandals. I’ll shame you online! Just you wait!!]

Really? I don’t believe it!

Li Peifeng pretended not to hear, lowered his head to eat, and deliberately commented, "Hmm, this dish is really delicious, no wonder I made it!"

The food was indeed tasty, providing a culinary pleasure to everyone, but that alone wasn’t enough to significantly change the atmosphere of the dinner party.

Li Qiyuan and Yu Huizhi symbolically inquired about Huang Tianxuan’s studies and career, then turned to chat with the others, trying to keep the atmosphere as relaxed and natural as possible.

However, while chatting, Li Qiyuan and Yu Huizhi were subconsciously mulling over a question: which of these four girls is most suitable for their son?

The couple had privately discussed this issue and, emotionally speaking, they leaned more towards Wu Wenyue.

Because the couple not only understood Wu Wenyue’s temperament better but were also friends with her parents and knew the details of the other family, generally speaking, their conditions were not much different. In short, Wu Wenyue was more of a match than the other three. Besides, both kids’ hometowns are in the same city, which would make things more convenient after marriage.

As for Xu Manning and Huang Tianxuan, Old Li and Old Yu could also accept. Disregarding family factors, one girl is younger but somewhat arrogant, while the other is older but more mature and considerate.

As for Zhao Qingge... best not to consider!

Ignoring the age and family factors, Li Qiyuan and Yu Huizhi were still uncomfortable about her relatively special relationship with their son.

This unease was evident in their interactions, especially when all four girls were present. The couple’s different treatment might not be noticeable to outsiders, but Zhao Qingge could feel the subtle distinction.

[Noise as it may be, I have my way. In my world, your parents don’t exist...]

Zhao Qingge took a sip of her drink, then picked up her chopsticks to serve a piece of fish to Li Peifeng: "Eat more."

The two were not close together; there was Huang Tianxuan between them, who was chatting lively with Yu Huizhi and got a bit stuck when a pair of chopsticks stretched past her.

"Oh, you eat too."

Li Peifeng immediately reacted, giving Zhao Qingge a larger piece of fish, carefully ensuring there were no bones before placing it in her bowl with a smile: "This braised fish is my creation, it’s definitely delicious."

Zhao Qingge looked at her bowl, then at Li Peifeng, and smiled reservedly, "It’s indeed good."

You haven’t tasted it, how do you know?

Huang Tianxuan’s mouth twitched, and what happened next made her mouth twitch even more. Seeing this, Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning also served vegetables and meat into Li Peifeng’s bowl...

"Xiaofeng, eat more."

"Hard work, chef!"

"Thank you, eat up too."

Li Peifeng was flattered. In return, he ladled a bowl of soup for each of the two women, Wu and Xu.

So unreserved? Starting a girl-on-girl competition already, huh?! You’re willing to do anything to have Li Peifeng choose you?!

Huang Tianxuan found it very amusing, very infuriating, very annoying, and... quickly served a piece of steak to Li Peifeng.

"This beef tastes nice."

Huang Tianxuan naturally withdrew her chopsticks, "Did Uncle make this or did you?"

"Me." Li Qiyuan’s voice was low, "If it’s good, have more, try not to waste. Peifeng bought most of the ingredients, and he decided what to cook. He knows your tastes, so... it’s going well?"

"Not just okay, it’s exceptionally good."

Unanimous praise from the women, and Li Peifeng chuckled at his rice bowl topped with a heap of food.

After spending so much time with his mentor, a tomboy, a privileged beauty, and a young lady, he had only felt a series of bloody dramas and asura fields, living in fear, dreaming of betrayal and chaos, managing every minute and second, enduring countless hardships and challenges, grievances and heartaches, pouring countless amounts of money and emotional investment...

But today, Li Peifeng received his reward!

It cannot be said that everything he did before was worth it, but at least the effort was not in vain.

"Delicious!"

While eating the food the girls served him, Li Peifeng made a resolution; "I, Fengfeng, love having a harem the most. I’m determined to develop all five aspects to the fullest! No one can stop me!"

But what to do on the seventh, he still had no clue.

It seemed like an impossible knot. His parents pressured him to make a final choice; the four girls were fed up, forcing him to make a single choice...

"I’m done eating, take your time."

Li Peifeng, with his concerns, quickly finished his meal and was the first to leave the table. On the other hand, he thought the girls might restrain themselves a bit more facing Li Qiyuan and Yu Huizhi if he wasn’t present. If he stayed, the girls might quarrel over some trivial matter, so after eating, he headed to the attic.

Once he left, the meal quickly concluded with the four girls helping the couple clean up and then moving to the living room to sit down.

"Yueyue, where’s your place?"

"Anping Imperial Scenic Area... about five or six kilometers from here. By the way, Sister Tianxuan, you haven’t booked a hotel yet, right?"

"Auntie said earlier that there’s an extra room here, I’ll consider it when I check it out."

"So, are you planning to stay here until the seventh?"

Xu Manning frowned, "Not going home in the meantime?"

Huang Tianxuan nodded, "Just treating it like a vacation, six days isn’t long, not much interference either."

Zhao Qingge suddenly said, "Six days isn’t long, but it isn’t short either... Let’s find a place to chat."

"Chat about what?" Huang Tianxuan laughed, "Talk about your big red envelope? No need, we’ve all seen it, you’ve displayed it so prominently, impossible to miss."

"Talk about the rules," Zhao Qingge gave her a look, then turned to the other two, "Discuss what happens if anyone refuses to give up after Peifeng makes his choice, or if he goes back on his word, what should we do."

Huang Tianxuan thought for a moment, "In that case, he’d have to be called up too."

Xu Manning glanced at the stairs to the attic, pursed her lips, "Let’s talk upstairs, Uncle and Auntie probably won’t interrupt us."

"Let’s go."

Wu Wenyue was the first to get up and head upstairs; the remaining three followed closely into the attic.

"Where is he?"

"Why isn’t the light on? Wasn’t he writing?"

"There’s another room here."

In the attic, there was a small partition. As you entered, the first thing you saw was the glass door leading to the terrace. On either side were art and desk work areas.

To the left was a hidden door. Opening it revealed a small room of about seven or eight square meters.

While the others were unfamiliar, Zhao Qingge, having been shown around the attic by Yu Huizhi, knew the layout and led the other three girls, pushing open this hidden door.

The room was brightly lit, with a single bed in the center, a large wardrobe beside it, and two or three small stools in the corner. Li Peifeng was sitting by the window, with a drawing board in front of him, gazing at the stars and sketching.

Very romantic, very artistic.

But the problem is...

"Why aren’t you wearing clothes?!"

Leading the way, Zhao Qingge’s face instantly flushed red, and she held out her hands to stop the others from entering.

"Who? He’s not wearing clothes?"

"Is he crazy?!"

"Tell him to put his clothes on!"

Wu Wenyue, Xu Manning, and Huang Tianxuan’s tones were all displeased. But who pushed forward, or maybe they all did, Zhao Qingge couldn’t hold them back, and they were pushed into the room: "Didn’t I tell you he wasn’t dressed? Why did you come in?!"

Old Zhao was exasperated, the other three girls verified the situation with their own eyes and displayed righteous indignation.

"He really isn’t wearing anything?"

"Not even underwear?"

"Li Peifeng! Don’t you have any shame?"

Under the barrage of their critiques, Li Peifeng, sitting with his back to them, turned around slowly, his eyes melancholy, his tone indifferent: "As everyone knows, I’m an artist; it’s perfectly normal for me to enjoy painting in the nude."

"..."

"Besides, this is my house, isn’t it? You barged in without knocking and now you’re blaming me?! Keep complaining, and I’ll stand up and face you right now, believe it or not?"
