When it came to her figure, Zong Rui was confident she had Qu Man beat.

But when it came to looks, Qu Man was an absolute stunner.

Even she had to admit she couldn’t compare.

Knowing Qi Sheng, she was sure he wouldn’t be able to resist her best friend’s incredible charm.

"You’re the lady of the house. It’s completely up to you how to assign the rooms."

Qi Sheng, however, didn’t seem to mind and gave a casual wave of his hand.

"Honey, you’re the best!"

Zong Rui happily gave Qi Sheng a kiss on the cheek, then went off gleefully to show off to her best friend.

Qi Sheng let her be, taking a stroll around the villa’s yard.

’I should contribute a little to the design of this villa.’

The huge, detached villa he’d dreamed of in his past life was finally becoming a reality.

Though it wasn’t enormous, in truth.

But for just the two of them, Qi Sheng and Zong Rui, it was already almost absurdly spacious.

A villa this big would be impossible to keep clean without hiring at least a couple of maids.

...

Zong Rui picked up her phone, her fingers flying as she typed.

Zong Rui: Manman, I have my own place now! (smug)

Qu Man: What’s going on? (confused)

Zong Rui: Qi Sheng suddenly took me to look at a place in Lushan Changdao today. It’s a huge four-story villa, 456 square meters, detached, with its own garden! It has five bedrooms, two of which are master suites. I already talked to him—we’re saving one for you!

Qu Man: Ruirui, congrats! You finally have a place to call your own in Chengdu! (thumbs up)

Zong Rui: I know, right? I never imagined he’d give me such an expensive villa. It was 25 million! Add that to the car, the watch, and everything else, and he’s spent nearly 30 million on me. (blushing)

Qu Man: Please stop flexing. Don’t you know it’s easy for us working stiffs to get jealous? (eye roll)

Zong Rui: Then how about you join the sisterhood? Trust me, he could never say no to someone like you.

Qu Man: Wow, you really have some nerve. Trying to drag your bestie into this mess with you? (smack)

Zong Rui: Hmph, I wouldn’t be willing to share him with just anyone. But we’re besties, after all! (finger heart)

Qu Man: Heh, thanks so much for that.

The two continued to chat for a while, catching up on each other’s lives.

They only ended their reluctant goodbyes when Qu Man had to get busy with something.

When Zong Rui returned to the yard, she found Qi Sheng trimming the flowers and bushes. She couldn’t help but stare in amazement for a long moment.

"Wow, Honey, you’re amazing! You know about gardening, too?"

Zong Rui saw that the bushes Qi Sheng had trimmed were now shaped like hearts.

Her eyes sparkled as she gazed at him, her face full of adoration.

"No big deal."

Qi Sheng set down his tools, dusted off his hands, and asked with a smile, "Done chatting with your bestie?"

"Mhm, she’s really happy for me. After I get the house renovated, you should take me to Shanghai. I miss her."

Zong Rui linked her arm with Qi Sheng’s, resting her head on her boyfriend’s broad shoulder.

Besides her family, Qi Sheng and Qu Man were the two people closest to her.

"Sure, but I’ve been pretty busy lately. Even if I have time, it’ll have to be after the New Year."

"Mhm, no rush. After the New Year is fine too."

Qi Sheng took Zong Rui for a walk around the residential complex.

As one of Chengdu’s top luxury residential complexes, it even had its own golf course.

The landscaping in the Changdao District was naturally impeccable.

Qi Sheng saw that Zong Rui was a bit distracted, clearly wanting to get the villa renovated as soon as possible. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

So he took Zong Rui to see Peng Qingsong, who had been swamped with work lately.

"Boss."

Seeing Qi Sheng arrive with a stunning woman, Peng Qingsong instinctively had a bad feeling.

"Qingsong, this is Zong Rui. She’s another of your madams."

"She’s bought a detached villa in the Lushan Changdao District. Have your team go over later and take measurements."

Just as he expected, Qi Sheng had thrown another huge renovation project at him.

"Thank you, Boss."

Peng Qingsong gave a wry smile, but he had no choice but to accept this thankless task.

Design was his hobby and his profession.

But the boss’s ladies weren’t so easy to please.

He had just, with great difficulty, finished the designs for the "empress’s" beauty salon.

And had only recently gotten a little free time.

But the large flats for Pei Yinyin and Xu Ying were both waiting for his design drafts.

And now, Zong Rui had appeared.

Judging by the fact that his boss had bought her a villa...

This Miss Zong was clearly even more favored than that Miss Pei.

’It made sense, though. This new madam’s figure was so ridiculously hot it was practically unfair.’

’With the boss’s playboy nature, there was no way he’d pass up a top-shelf beauty like her.’

’Sigh, looks like I’ll be working overtime again tonight.’

The thought of spending the next few months running around for all the madams’ houses gave Peng Qingsong a massive headache.

He could only pray silently, ’Please, Boss, don’t buy any more houses for your ladies.’

’If this keeps up, I’m going to become the personal designer for Qi Sheng’s entire clan.’

...

After buying the villa for Zong Rui, he threw down another 10 million for renovation fees.

Plus a one-time payment for five years of property management fees.

The cash in Qi Sheng’s account suddenly dropped by 36 million.

’Sigh, only 33 million left. I’ll have to start being a bit more frugal.’

After that classic humblebrag, Qi Sheng straightened himself up in the mirror.

’Who’s this handsome devil? Damn, I’m ridiculously good-looking!’

The "three little ones" had been complaining recently that Qi Sheng spent too little time with them.

So, Qi Sheng had prepared a surprise for them.

With winter break fast approaching, university students were getting busy studying for their final exams.

As soon as he stepped onto the Chuanyin campus, Qi Sheng became the most dazzling sight around.

His commanding height of over six-foot-one and his movie-star looks that scored a 90 out of 100.

He was devastatingly handsome.

"Hey, isn’t that Tao Siyao’s boyfriend? The rich kid with the Ferrari!"

"He didn’t even drive today, and Tao Siyao’s not with him. You gonna go ask for his WeChat?"

"I don’t have the guts. Girl, you should get it for me. If I could get his WeChat, I could die happy."

"You’re so hopeless. Watch and learn!"

Among the group of chattering girls, there was one who was very confident in her looks and figure.

She jogged over and stepped in front of Qi Sheng.

"Hi handsome, my name is Ye Hui. Can I get your WeChat?"

Qi Sheng stopped and looked Ye Hui up and down.

’Her looks aren’t bad, but she’s just ’cute girl’ tier.’

’She doesn’t even meet the 85-point threshold for a truly high-quality beauty.’

’She’s not even on par with Xu Ying, who’s basically the gatekeeper for looks in my house.’

"Sorry, I have a girlfriend."

Qi Sheng had decided to rein it in a bit recently.

He couldn’t be bothered to flirt with girls who were just average-looking.

He already had a hard time dividing his attention among his current women, who complained often enough as it was.

Thank goodness the "three little ones" were students, or else they’d be clinging to him 24/7.

He had to admit, college life was pretty great.

’This girl in front of me, with her "no-makeup" makeup, is clearly an experienced player.’

’Special Score: 83. A full seventeen guys have already walked that path.’

’Tsk, tsk. I wonder if there have been any casualties along the way.’

"Come on, handsome, just add me. I’ll send you some of my personal photos. The kind with black silk stockings."

Perhaps it was because her roommates were watching from the side.

Ye Hui, usually spoiled rotten by her legion of simps, was finding it hard to keep face.

She wasn’t willing to be rejected and slink away in defeat just like that.

"Step aside."

Qi Sheng’s voice suddenly turned cold, and he shot Ye Hui a dismissive glance.

For some reason, Ye Hui was startled and obediently stepped out of his way.

Only after Qi Sheng had walked far away did she dare to mutter a few curses under her breath.

"What’s he so smug about? There are plenty of handsome guys out there. It’s not like I care."

"But handsome guys who drive a Ferrari 488? He’s the only one who’s ever shown up at our school."

Her frenemy roommate laughed to herself. Serves Ye Hui right for always showing off the designer bags her admirers bought her.

In front of someone who was truly tall, rich, and handsome...

...someone of her caliber didn’t even deserve a spot on his contact list.

Qi Sheng arrived at the girls’ dormitory building, following a familiar path.

He sent Du Xinxin a WeChat message and then waited patiently downstairs.

During this time, many girls came in and out, and all of them couldn’t help but steal frequent glances at him.

Qi Sheng pretended not to notice their reactions, but deep down, he was feeling pretty smug.

’Without the System, I’d probably just be some fat, unremarkable nerd.’

’But with the System, my looks, body, and wealth all reached god-tier levels.’

’Honestly, if I didn’t pick up a few more pretty girls, I’d be doing a disservice to the cheat codes Lord Tong gave me!’
