Manipulative Harem God

Chapter 228 Meeting Liu Ming! Zhang Wei finally got a rival?

"Nooooo!" A loud, piercing scream erupted from her, shattering the tranquility of the morning.

The sound spread through the human settlement, leaving everyone bewildered and concerned for the frightened naked woman terrified by the sight of the needles.

"Enough!" Zhang Wei delivered a sharp slap to her exposed backside, causing her to abruptly fall silent, her tear-filled eyes locked onto him.

"Huh?" A startled gasp escaped her lips as she realized that, although the slap landed, it didn't cause her any pain this time.

Stunned, Wu Xue's trembling hand reached for her own buttock, but the sight was too much for Zhang Wei to tolerate. He swiftly slapped her hands away, his voice firm. "You are already healed; stop performing these strange acts."

"I am healed...?" Wu Xue sat up once more, seemingly oblivious to his discomfort. She appeared to be growing a bit too comfortable with displaying her naked body, a lack of concern for the potential consequences evident in her actions.

"Ah, no!" Zhang Wei, frustrated, decided to take matters into his own hands. In one fluid motion, he tossed her back onto the bed, hoping to teach her a lesson about modesty for the future.

All pleas and protests fell on deaf ears for the next hour. Wu Xue finally looked at him with a mixture of fear and understanding as he prepared to leave. The lesson was learned, though not without some turbulence.

__________

[Host, she didn't ask too many questions, an ideal secretary indeed,] the system kept praising Wu Xue, who appeared to ignore Zhang Wei's remarkable actions and even feigned ignorance.

It all began when she accidentally discovered his identity as an NSA agent.

From that point on, she had witnessed and heard numerous things but refrained from probing him with questions.

Her discretion in this matter was indeed commendable.

"What's happening at the villa?" Zhang Wei inquired from the co-pilot seat as Raven drove impassively.

Raven proceeded to explain the situation. After parting ways with Lin Ruoxi and Yu Lei, Zhang Wei had covertly instructed Raven to halt and reside with them in the villa, silently monitoring their interactions.

He was curious about how these women behaved when he wasn't present.

According to Raven's report, there hadn't been much turmoil.

However, there was a subtle change in Yu Lei's demeanor, particularly in how she treated Lin Ruoxi within and outside of work.

Apart from this, nothing significant had occurred, and Lin Ruoxi had made no attempts to escape or show resistance.

Lin Ruoxi had even made an attempt to learn cooking, with Yu Lei as her mentor. Yu Lei, however, was strict when it came to culinary standards.

Aside from these cooking lessons, they both slept in separate rooms upstairs.

Guo Xiaomei expressed her gratitude to Raven for safely bringing Lin Ruoxi back.

Overall, Zhang Wei felt the situation was under control, and he no longer needed to constantly spy on them.

Raven let out a sigh of relief, eager to focus on assisting Rose rather than playing the part-time assistant to Zhang Wei.

While Zhang Wei had initially planned to go with Xiong Mei to buy a car today, he decided to make a brief stop back at home first, as Chen Yulan was expected to visit in the morning.

_________

Outside the luxurious villa in the northern district, a sleek Mercedes was parked, a temporary lease for the day secured by Liu Ming.

Inside the lavish living room, Chen Yulan's mind exploded with confusion and disbelief as her eyes fell upon the two stunning women before her.

One of them boldly introduced herself as Zhang Wei's wife.

'If this is the sister-in-law, then who was the woman with my cousin yesterday?' Chen Yulan's lips quivered as she grappled with the absurdity of the situation.

She didn't need a roadmap to figure out that Zhang Wei had an extramarital involvement. The signs were glaring.

Lin Ruoxi's introduction only added a layer of peculiarity. She was supposed to be the president of Lin Group, yet here she was, identifying herself as Zhang Wei's maid!

In the face of such bizarre revelations, Chen Yulan felt a headache coming on.

The notion that her cousin might be maintaining another relationship in the guise of a maid was a bitter pill to swallow.

His audacity was, without a doubt, impressive!

Inside the villa's luxurious living room, Lin Ruoxi found herself face-to-face with Zhang Wei's relative for the first time.

She launched into an unrelenting onslaught of questions, turning Chen Yulan into her unwitting interviewee.

Chen Yulan, doing her best to maintain a polite demeanor, felt a strained smile forming as the relentless inquiries continued.

Little did Chen Yulan know that Yu Lei's curiosity had a singular focus – Zhang Wei's childhood. She seized this unexpected opportunity, making Chen Yulan the unintended subject of her investigation.

Amidst this whirlwind of inquiries, another man sat a slight distance away from Chen Yulan. His eyes wandered around the lavish surroundings, and he couldn't help but remark, 'Yulan never mentioned that her cousin was this wealthy.'

Yet, what truly captured his attention were the two striking women seated before him, both equally mesmerizing.

'Tsk, these modern cities are teeming with beauties,' he thought, a hint of jealousy creeping in. In his hometown, beautiful women were a rarity, but since arriving in Qingyun city, he felt surrounded by stunning women at every turn.

Every woman he passed on the streets seemed to effortlessly exude beauty.

Unbeknownst to him, beneath the veneer of beauty lay an inch-deep layer of makeup, and the genuine gems were the ones right in front of him.

Jealousy simmered within him, but every time his gaze returned to Chen Yulan, it ebbed away. "At least I have her!" A smug smile spread across his face as he realized that he, too, wasn't lacking in the beauty department. He had Chen Yulan by his side, after all.

"Hey, pass me that glass of water!" He suddenly spoke, addressing Lin Ruoxi, who sat quietly. Since she was introduced as a maid, he felt it was acceptable to exert a bit of dominance.

His words drew Lin Ruoxi's attention, causing her to furrow her brow. She may have been serving, but her loyalty was to Zhang Wei alone.

Her expression suddenly turned cold, though she managed a smile as she filled the glass with water and slowly passed it towards him. Then, without warning, the glass slipped from her hand.

*Splash!*
