My System Forces Me to Live off Women

Chapter 553: Chapter 350: Staying True to Myself

"Click~"

Li Peifeng turned on the living room light when he got home, then went into the side bedroom to prepare a room for Zhao Qingge.

Aside from him, there was no one else at home. Li Qiyuan and Yu Huizhi had left for a vacation in Sanya this morning, something they had planned earlier. Perhaps they really didn’t want to see Li Peifeng, using this chance to escape.

Currently, Li Peifeng is very much unwelcomed by his parents. Ever since he revealed his wild ambition to ’sequentially get marriage certificates’ with four girls and asked Yu Huizhi and Li Qiyuan to help him act it out, the two elders unilaterally severed their parental ties with him.

Though not explicitly stated, their actions speak louder.

If, in the future, he really wants to get marriage certificates with the four girls, and Yu Huizhi and Li Qiyuan maintain this attitude, Li Peifeng feels that things will be quite difficult since parents should be present for such important matters, both emotionally and ethically.

However, not considering the distant future, just looking at the present, his parent’s departure accidentally created some very favorable conditions for him...

"Tsk, actually there’s no need to tidy up the room; when the time comes, Duoduo can just share a bedroom with me."

If the two spend three beautiful nights under the same roof, Li Peifeng believes his relationship with Zhao Qingge will certainly undergo a qualitative change.

"What time are you expected to arrive tomorrow?"

Li Peifeng couldn’t hold back his anticipation and sent a WeChat message to Zhao Qingge.

Zhao Qingge responded quickly: "Around ten in the morning, I’m taking the train over."

Li Peifeng: "Okay, but I should be filming on Juhua Island at that time. After you get off, you’ll need to first take a taxi to... then take a boat..."

Just after outlining the transportation route, Zhao Qingge replied: "I’m not going to the filming site; waiting at home is fine and I can chat with your parents."

Fortunately!

Li Peifeng felt a jolt in his heart and then let out a sigh of relief: "(Sweating) My parents aren’t home; they’ve gone to Sanya for a vacation."

After sending this message, Zhao Qingge was silent for a while before replying: "Then I’m not going."

Not going? So fickle?!

Li Peifeng: "I’ve just tidied up the room for you!"

Zhao Qingge: "Well, then it’s even more reason not to go."

Li Peifeng: "...You can lock the door; I promise not to act inappropriately."

Zhao Qingge: "Your promise isn’t trustworthy; book me a ticket to Western Sichuan Province, see you in three days."

It was only after this exchange that Li Peifeng began to faintly understand that Zhao Qingge wanted to visit him but also hoped to have a good chat with his parents about his relationship issues. Knowing now that they weren’t home, she immediately changed her mind.

"In the end, is it still unacceptable?"

Li Peifeng used empathy to sense Zhao Qingge’s mood, confirming his suspicions and sighed.

"Ding~"

The phone buzzed with a new WeChat message.

Xu Manning: "Uncle and Auntie went on a trip?"

Li Peifeng: "Yeah... Did Qingge or Wenyue tell you? Can’t your broken group just disband?!"

Xu Manning: "Are you at home? Use your phone to take a video of the room for me to see."

Right after sending the message, feeling perhaps it was too much trouble, Xu Manning directly made a video call. She was in an office, seemingly working overtime.

"Look, no one’s here."

Li Peifeng swept the phone around a few bedrooms, while Xu Manning in the screen seemed slightly disappointed: "I was planning to bring my parents over to visit your place."

You’re coming too? With your parents?

Li Peifeng couldn’t help but imagine what would happen if the elders hadn’t gone on vacation and were home.

Zhao Qingge would visit first, then Xu Manning and her parents would arrive...

What a devilish encounter! This would be a nightmare?!

Li Peifeng pursed his lips: "They’re really not home; don’t bring Uncle and Auntie over. If you want to come, just come by yourself."

"Forget it, you haven’t even let me on screen, why should I go? To be an audience member?"

Xu Manning scoffed: "Keep making videos, work hard to earn money. Once you’ve accumulated a dowry of one billion, then marry Yueyue. Don’t even think about Zhao Qingge; she won’t agree, and I won’t either! Huang Danai... ha, if she’s willing to marry a second wife, then let her; I certainly wouldn’t stoop so low."

"Manning!"

"What do you want to say?"

"...Could you reconsider?"

"Impossible!"

"Beep~"

The video call was disconnected, leaving Li Peifeng sitting on the bed, furrowing his brow.

Wenyue and Huang Tianxuan reluctantly accepted the method of sequentially getting marriage certificates, though the former posed a condition which he could achieve with some effort, but Zhao Qingge and Xu Manning were not on board.

Moreover, Li Qiyuan and Yu Huizhi firmly opposed it. As Li Peifeng’s parents, if they maintain this stance, the wedding definitely cannot take place.

If later the parents of the four girls find out about Li Peifeng’s antics, he really has no brilliant solution... Can he truly sequentially marry the four girls?

"Life often defies wishes; the more you want something, the more likely you are to lose it. So it’s best to lower expectations a bit. However, if one has no expectations, thinking ’I’ll lose all of it eventually anyway,’ then that’s complete surrender to life."

Ever since modifying his body, particularly acquiring the trait [Iron Liver · Courage like a Fighter], Li Peifeng rarely feels dejected or discouraged; he is mostly full of confidence and fighting spirit daily. But at this moment, he genuinely feels a rare bit of helplessness.

"Yes, after all, one loses everything in the end..."
