Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again

Chapter 707: Chapter 254: Yan Qiuwen Becomes the Chief Tool for Conquering Qin Shiqing (Part 2)

This kind of change couldn’t happen without reason. It looks like during the two days in Shenghai, something happened between him and Shiqing that is unknown to outsiders.

"I know a bit about hypnotism, that’s true, but I don’t practice witchcraft!"

Yan Qiuwen said coldly.

Actually asking a woman to help win over another woman, especially her own roommate.

This guy really has some nerve!

Su Zelin also knew his real intention might not be hidden from this genius, who likely guessed it, so he braced himself: "Qiu Wen, I’m begging you, I’ve accidentally made a huge mistake, and I’m at a dead end. I might end up losing everyone around me. If you don’t help me, I’ll just die!"

As he spoke, his eyes turned red, brimming with tears.

"Then go ahead and die, you deserve it!"

Yan Qiuwen snorted irritably.

She knew Su Zelin was merely activating his actor mode.

"Well, never mind then!"

The slacker let out a long sigh: "Asking you to help me win over your roommate is indeed too much. Even if you don’t want to, I can understand. But this matter might trouble me for a long time, and I worry it will affect the company’s business and the progress of certain other things!"

Yan Qiuwen paused for a moment.

His words had another meaning.

Others might not catch the undertones, but she did.

The company’s business is probably the least of it. The main point is "certain other things," including her own research project.

To put it simply: "Miss Yan, you wouldn’t want me to have a breakdown and perform poorly in future Q&A games, affecting your research, right?"

He actually dares to use this to threaten me!

Yan Qiuwen felt slightly annoyed.

This project is very rare and challenging, and it’s very important to her; it can’t be abandoned halfway.

Su Zelin observed her reaction and knew Yan Qiuwen was already wavering.

His lips curved slightly, revealing a mischievous smile.

Hey, this trick actually worked.

Qiu Wen, oh Qiu Wen, no matter how steady you think your resolve is, there are always loopholes.

Just seize upon this point and relentlessly pursue it.

Come to me obediently, be my tool!

The look of satisfaction on his face was really irritating, making Yan Qiuwen’s teeth itch with anger.

The slacker pressed his advantage: "But no worries, it’s fortunate I have many friends; plenty of people would be willing to help me through the tough times!"

Royal Translation: "Even if you don’t become my tool number one, there’ll be tool number two, three, four... Qin Shiqing will ultimately be won over."

"Also, treating others as tools is truly vile and lacking in morality, Shiqing, wouldn’t you agree?"

Su Zelin said meaningfully.

Yan Qiuwen: "..."

She understood he was implying she also treated him as a tool.

With Su Zelin’s intelligence, after all this time, he couldn’t possibly not see that he had become her guinea pig.

Although he had claimed he didn’t need internship pay back then, regardless, studying someone without their consent was indeed wrong, especially considering Su Zelin was paid a significant salary.

Royal Translation: "I serve as your guinea pig, you casually use me as a tool, why can’t you be a tool for me in return? Double standards!"

Yan Qiuwen felt guilty.

She just realized she was dealing with a genius with an intellect matching her own.

She could manipulate him.

He could also manipulate her.

"Regarding that matter you mentioned, I agree!"

Yan Qiuwen reluctantly gave in.

"Qiu Wen, thank you, you’re really a great person, I love you to bits!"

The slacker excitedly grabbed Yan Qiuwen’s hand, as if meeting a like-minded comrade.

Though he could find other tools, like Lu Haoran.

However, a hundred tools like Lu Haoran added together might not be as effective as this chief tool.

With her help, the hope of winning over Qin Shiqing could increase by at least twenty percent!

The tears in the slacker’s eyes vanished instantly, perfectly under control, leaving one in awe.

Yan Qiuwen seriously wondered if his eyeballs were spongelike, able to absorb water inversely.

"Let go!"

The girl’s face flushed instantly, struggling fiercely.

"Ah, sorry, sorry!"

Su Zelin quickly let go: "I was just too happy, don’t mind it!"

Yan Qiuwen’s mind was a bit unsettled at the moment, unable to discern whether the slacker did it intentionally or carelessly, but she snorted irritably, luckily not dwelling on it.

"How about this, you help me this time, and I’ll agree to do one thing for you, within my ability, whatever you ask!"

The slacker said generously.

Although they both treated each other as tools, seemingly fair, he didn’t mind being more magnanimous.

As long as the childhood sweetheart issue could be resolved, any cost was worth it.

Moreover, besides this project, Yan Qiuwen likely wouldn’t need his help much, so this promise was akin to giving an empty check, inconsequential.

...

Nightfall.

Minhang District, Shenghai.

A unit intern dormitory.

Qin Shiqing sat on the edge of her bed, unconsciously rubbing her belly with one hand.

Ever since she tossed that pack of pills in the morning, Qin Shiqing had been in a state of inexplicable tension, occasionally letting her imagination run wild, even feeling as if her tummy was slightly more swollen than usual.

I couldn’t be pregnant, could I?

It shouldn’t be that easy; some couples want children but can’t have them.

Yet matters like this also depend on the partners, having read in women’s magazines that healthier couples are more prone to conception.

I’m in decent health, and Zelin is even more robust, bursting with energy; his tadpole activity might be exceptionally high.
