Chapter 747: Chapter 721 This is fun now (Thanks to Nong You Chijiang for the He’s Bi reward+more)
Poor Old Mai, after several nights of deliberation, finally decided to give up on Shuixian and court Xiao Qian instead. Yet, unbeknown to him, Xiao Qian had taken his pursuit as a scheming plot. Initially, Ming Lang wanted to punish Old Mai for daring to covet his woman, but now all he could feel was schadenfreude.
He deserved it! Deserved it indeed!
Old Mai didn’t feel as though he deserved it. On the contrary, he felt a new energy surge within him after his decision.

After sending the flowers to Xiao Qian through an intermediary, he began daydreaming about her delighted reaction and their splendid future together.
He had changed his target, true, Shuixian was no longer his objective.
Realizing that he was more attracted to Chen Xiaoqian, who was not only beautiful and intelligent but also high in IQ, though not as affluent as Shuixian, she did own a considerable amount of Tang Daye’s stocks in the Tang family. If that brilliant Xiaoqian decided to stab Shuixian in the back, it would be a piece of cake.
...
If he could win Xiaoqian over, the Tang family’s wealth would sooner or later be his, and the brilliance of Xiaoqian’s strategy would only enhance his own power. Hahaha!
Old Mai, at the thought of himself at the pinnacle of honor, couldn’t help prancing around in his room, a wine goblet in his hand.
Having been exposed by Xiaoqian, he couldn’t pretend to be a bodyguard and follow Shuixian. He was also tired of being subservient just to woo women. Finally, he could relax and enjoy his real status for a couple of days.
His private hotline rang – it was Habi, his adviser, who was the mastermind behind many of his ideas.
“Young Master, why haven’t you been with Lily Tang recently?”
“Lily Tang is a thing of the past. I have a new target now.”
“New…target? Which heiress are you chasing this time, and where are you now?”
“I’m still in the Celestial Empire. She isn’t any wealthy family’s heiress, she’s just an ordinary woman. But she’s so clever, even cleverer than you, haha. But don’t worry, once I get her, she’ll be my wife, and won’t pose any threat to your place.”
“May I know who she is?”
“Chen Xiaoqian. We’ve done some research on her already. She’s the invisible staff of the Tang family, and now one of the shareholders as well. She’s the extremely capable right hand man that Tang Daye found for his daughter, remarkable indeed.”
“You like her?”
Perhaps it was his imagination, but Old Mai thought Habi’s voice trembled slightly.
“Yes, I’ve never liked anyone as much as I like her. She’s outstanding. I believe she’s the one who truly deserves me.”
“…She’s married.” Habi, shaking, presented a piece of paper which said Xiaoqian was married. He didn’t dare to look at the man who wrote it, as he was intimidated by the man’s fury.
“Yes, she’s married. But that’s irrelevant. Her husband is busy with work and can’t be with her all the time. Women always like consistent companionship, romantic moments. As long as I put in more effort, she would abandon her husband for me. Hahaha! Habi, you should congratulate me. I’ve found my true love~ Eh? It’s hung up?”
After speaking to himself through the phone, Old Mai discovered the call had ended. He then returned to his joyful planning of how to approach Xiaoqian; bumping into her at school randomly should be a good start.
The call ended not because Habi hung up intentionally, but because he was frightened.
The anger of the man across him had already ignited.
“Eldest…Eldest Brother!” Habi said tentatively.
“True love?” The man was furious, yet his voice was exceptionally gentle, which nevertheless carried a chilling undertone.
“The Young Master is a playboy, this isn’t real.” Habi hurriedly explained.
“No, this time it’s different. He’s a playboy, but there’s always a purpose to his games. His targets are always women of extraordinary background and enormous wealth. While I would allow him to deceive and take advantage of these women, I would never permit him to truly like someone.”
Habi fell silent and dared not utter a word.
Although Habi was officially Old Mai’s subordinate, only he knew that he only answered to the man before him, the one controlling his fate.
“Chen Xiaoqian, female, Master of Psychology, a well-known psychologist in the high society of the Celestial Empire. Her fees are hefty but her results are excellent. Married, with an unknown husband and an unclear family background… this is all the information you have gathered?”
The man tossed the dossier onto the table. Habi, with his head craned forward, explained carefully.
“Our influence in the Celestial Empire is limited. Furthermore, it seems this Chen Xiaoqian has a special background. Both the underworld and the mainstream society are protecting her information, so we can’t find much valuable information. Eldest Brother, should I enquire further?”
“By the time you find anything, Mai Hadi and she would have several children. Are you asking me to raise his kids?”
Habi dared not reply. The man rose from his chair, holding Xiaoqian’s information in his hand.
“I will personally make a trip there. Arrange a consultation with this Chen Xiaoqian, I need medical advice from her.”
“Um… Elder Brother, she’s a psychologist. What reason should we use to arrange a meeting?”
“To rectify homosexuality; she can name her price.”
“Yes, sir!”
The man’s sinister gaze softened only when he saw Old Mai’s hearty laugh in the photograph in his wallet. He vowed not to allow Mai Hadi’s heart to bear any other woman’s presence. This Chen Xiaoqian… must die!
…
Xiao Qian alighted from the car, carrying a large bag of books, intending to return them to the library.
Close observers could tell that Xiao Qian had a slight inward bend at the knees while walking, although she tried her best to hide it.
That bastard Old Mai… if she caught him, she would slap him across his face. What the hell was he doing sending flowers!
The flowers made Yu Xiaoqiang furiously jealous, tormenting her to the point where she was walking pigeon-toed. Who could know her sorrow…
And that pest Old Mai disappeared after he sent the flowers, leaving Xiao Qian unable to vent her pent-up anger.
“Watch out!” By the time Xiao Qian heard the warning, it was already too late.
She twisted her ankle on a rock, and the books in her bag spewed out onto the ground. Her ankle was hurting as well.
“Idol, are you okay!”
Xiao Qian turned around and saw the young journalist Bai Jin standing behind her. Bai Jin had been the one shouting the warning.
“It’s you. What are you doing here?” As Xiao Qian bent down, Bai Jin rushed in earnestly to help Xiao Qian pick up the books.
“I came here to do an interview. I knew you were studying here, so I thought I would come by to see you. It’s such a coincidence that we ran into each other. Oh?”
Bai Jin noticed that the gay-themed books that Xiao Qian had dropped were all about homosexuality. Her heart immediately sank.
Could it be possible that her idol had discovered her secret?
Xiao Qian didn’t notice Bai Jin’s odd reaction and assumed that Bai Jin was startled by the explicit titles of the books.
“I’ve been researching material related to homosexuality lately. I felt that there was a lack of academic articles in this area, and interpretations from fictional stories aren’t very helpful. Did I frighten you?”
Xiao Qian rather liked Bai Jin after she helped her publish an article on Weibo, which helped clear her name. Bai Jin was a little impulsive at times, but her values were quite moral.
“No, no. I mean, Idol, can I ask, what… what do you think about homosexuality?” Bai Jin summond the courage to ask the question, her heart racing.
