My System Forces Me to Live off Women

Chapter 548: Chapter 348: Free-Range and Huang Tianxuan’s Interrogation (2)

"Try to speed it up. If we really can’t make it, I can inform the editor to delay the release by a few days."

Wu Wenyue’s brow relaxed. "That’s good then... By the way, who are you planning to cast as the main character Qiuqing? Old Zhao?"

Li Peifeng hesitated for a moment. "This role is quite important, and it’s currently very popular with the readers. If she plays it, it would be the best, especially since the character looks a lot like her."

Wu Wenyue sneered, "You clearly drew it based on her. I don’t mind, but the issue is, if our classmates see it, won’t it easily lead to some inappropriate assumptions?"

"With color contacts, filters, and beauty enhancements, usually acquaintances won’t recognize her. Besides, she only shows her face for two or three seconds, it’s no big deal."

"Did you ask her? Is she willing to appear on camera?"

Li Peifeng thought about it and decided to call Zhao Qingge, wishing her a happy new year while bringing up the topic.

"No."

Zhao Qingge’s attitude was very clear. Li Peifeng sighed in disappointment. "Is that so? Should I find someone else to play the role?"

[No!]

Zhao Qingge didn’t speak, but Li Peifeng already understood her thoughts. After a two-second silence, he said, "How about we talk face to face when I return to Beijing?"

"When are you coming back?"

"Probably on the third or fourth day of the new year, but since I need to scout locations for filming, it may be a few days late."

While Li Peifeng was on the call, Wu Wenyue started to get handsy, touching his face, occasionally pretending to strangle his neck, her eyes shifting through anger, resentment, ambiguity, and playfulness, finally pulling him to lie down slowly on the bed.

"Don’t hang up the phone." Wu Wenyue whispered, then kissed Li Peifeng’s cheek, softly and gently grabbing his pants, making it hard for Li Peifeng to hold it together!!

"Why is it so quiet on your end?"

Zhao Qingge casually asked, "Aren’t you watching the New Year Gala and having dinner with your parents?"

"Ah, just finished eating. I found the Gala boring, so I went back to my room to write."

Li Peifeng forced himself to stay calm, while Wu Wenyue, perhaps on purpose, made kissing sounds while kissing his cheek. They were quiet, and it seemed Zhao Qingge didn’t notice, but it gave Li quite a scare.

"Don’t make any sounds!"

Wu Wenyue saw Li Peifeng mouthing a warning and just smirked, intensifying her actions and lowering her volume, "You scoundrel, aren’t you enjoying it?"

Li Peifeng wisely turned to the phone, asking concernedly, "...What did you have for New Year’s dinner?"

"Dumplings, fish, ribs, chicken... nothing special."

"Hmm." Li Peifeng just mumbled in response, unable to say more, as Wu Wenyue turned over, blocking his mouth, and even biting his tongue.

Don’t, you pervert!!!

With strong willpower, Li Peifeng slowly pushed Wu Wenyue’s head away and, still composed, said into the phone, "My cooking has improved recently. I’ll make a table full of delicious dishes when I get back, guaranteed to make you swoon."

"You’re making her food? So delicious it makes her tongue swoon? I’ll eat you first to make you swoon!"

Wu Wenyue’s eyes flashed red as she whispered the threat and started undressing...

"Is there someone next to you?"

"Nope."

Zhao Qingge finally sensed something amiss. After Li Peifeng denied it, he changed the topic, "I’ve also prepared a gift for you, something you’ll definitely like... hmm."

"You got me a gift?"

"Ah, it’s a New Year’s gift."

Zhao Qingge was clearly skeptical, "Are you sure it’s a gift and not a prank?"

"Rest assured, it’s definitely not a prank!"

Li Peifeng tried to keep his tone calm, "You’ll know what it is when I get back."

"Oh."

Zhao Qingge paused, then asked, "How are you planning to shoot that trailer you mentioned?"

"I envisioned it as..."

Maybe because of the gift, Old Zhao’s resolve softened, becoming less resistant to appearing on camera. Li Peifeng seized the opportunity to explain, repeatedly assuring her it wouldn’t take much time and that after makeup and costume, no acquaintance or colleague would easily recognize her.

After much persuasion, Zhao Qingge reluctantly agreed, "Let me know when you confirm the filming location."

"Uh, okay!"

"That’s it then... Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year to you too."

"Beep~ Beep~ Beep~"

Li Peifeng struggled to hang up the phone, looking at Wu Wenyue’s flushed face with a long exhale, "I thought you would deliberately speak so Qingge would hear you."

"..." Wu Wenyue puffed her cheeks, looking furious, and slapped Li Peifeng’s thigh, eyes practically spitting fire: My head was pressed down, how could I speak?

"Oh, I forgot, I forgot!"

Li Peifeng hurriedly released his hand from Wu Wenyue’s head, apologetically saying sorry, but Wu Wenyue wasn’t buying it, getting up angrily and scolding, "You bastard, you hung up? Call her back, who told you to end it? I wanted Zhao Qingge to hear what we were up to, to see if she’s as shameless as in my dreams."

"Keep your voice down, your parents are still outside!"

Wu Wenyue took a few deep breaths, squinting as if thinking of something, then picked up her phone...

"What are you doing?"

"Mind your own business!"

"No, you can’t call her!"

The two wrestled for a moment, with Wu Wenyue at a disadvantage, being completely subdued, but still defiant: "It won’t matter, when you leave, I’ll call her and tell her what you were doing with me while talking to her..."
