Urban Villain: The Game of Wealth and Women

{Chapter: 13 The fairy tale of Cinderella and the Prince!}

Lin Yuan was undeniably more than 666, and his actions carried a lethal charm for the opposite sex.

At that moment, the women in the surrounding area wished they could replace Qiu Wanxi.

[Ding! Qiu Wanxi's favorability +10!]

[Ding! Reward: 200 counterattack points!]

The system's reward notification echoed quickly in his mind.

"I forgot to ask—did you have lunch?" Lin Yuan asked as they exited the ice cream shop.

"No… I haven't," Qiu Wanxi replied softly.

"It's not good to eat ice cream on an empty stomach. But since lunchtime has passed, I'll take you to eat cake instead," Lin Yuan said.

"No… no need…"

Before Qiu Wanxi could finish her words, Lin Yuan had already pulled her to the front passenger seat. The "kidnapped victim" was then conveniently secured with the safety belt.

Lin Yuan led Qiu Wanxi into a high-end cake shop.

"What flavor of cake do you want to eat?" Lin Yuan asked.

Qiu Wanxi didn't respond but kept shaking her head.

The interior decoration of the homemade cake shop was much more luxurious than the ice cream shop they'd visited earlier. Consequently, the cost here was even higher.

Embarrassed to spend Lin Yuan's money again, Qiu Wanxi dared not order anything. But, afraid to oppose him, she simply shook her head more vigorously.

Lin Yuan didn't mind. Smiling, he said, "If you don't order, I'll choose for you."

The prices in this cake shop were indeed steep.

A single pastry cost thousands of yuan, while a whole cake ran into the hundreds of thousands.

For Lin Yuan, however, such sums were trivial.

Soon, two Black Forest cakes were served.

The cakes were exquisitely decorated, resembling pieces of art.

The chocolate on the cakes was adorned with pink cherries, tempting anyone to take a bite.

Gulp...

Qiu Wanxi swallowed quietly, but Lin Yuan heard it nonetheless.

"Eat as much as you want. Don't be shy; I've already ordered them, so it'll be a waste if you don't eat," Lin Yuan laughed, picking up his fork to start eating.

The Black Forest cake happened to be Qiu Wanxi's favorite—a cherished memory from her childhood.

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, her cheeks flushed red.

Summoning her courage, she finally raised her fork and began eating the cake.

"Do you like this cake? The Black Forest cake has a lot of chocolate and might be a bit bitter," Lin Yuan said.

"Um! I love it! My favorite cake is the Black Forest!"

"Though it's slightly bitter, the sweetness of the cherries that follows makes up for it. I really like this combination. My mother once bought me one when I was a kid, and I've never forgotten it."

Qiu Wanxi answered Lin Yuan's question quickly, fluently, and in detail.

"Ah… sorry! I… I got carried away! I'm so sorry!"

Qiu Wanxi panicked, standing up to apologize.

To her, it already felt excessive to eat with Lin Yuan footing the bill. Now, she'd gotten carried away while sharing her thoughts.

She was so nervous her hand holding the fork trembled.

"It's okay. You spoke very well. The reason I like Black Forest cake is also because the bitterness is followed by a sweet aftertaste," Lin Yuan said, gently patting Qiu Wanxi's head.

Under his touch, Qiu Wanxi calmed down.

[Ding! Qiu Wanxi's favorability +10!]

[Ding! Reward: 200 counterattack points!]

The system's reward prompts echoed in Lin Yuan's mind.

Lin Yuan smiled faintly, hearing the notifications, and continued eating while chatting with Qiu Wanxi.

Lin Yuan's conversation skills were exceptional, and he understood Qiu Wanxi well, making her feel comfortable.

Although there were no further favorability notifications, Lin Yuan could see that Qiu Wanxi was no longer wary of him. Her defenses had completely dissipated.

Lin Yuan knew it was difficult to raise someone's favorability quickly, so he wasn't surprised it hadn't increased further.

"Let's go since we've finished eating," Lin Yuan said with a smile.

"Okay! Great!" Qiu Wanxi replied, quickly standing up.

It wasn't until they stepped outside that Qiu Wanxi realized it was already evening. The sun had set.

She hadn't noticed the passage of time while chatting with Lin Yuan.

Sneaking a glance at him, her cheeks blushed crimson.

"I… may I know your name?" Qiu Wanxi finally mustered the courage to ask.

Her face turned completely red as soon as she spoke, and she felt so shy that she resembled an ostrich wanting to bury its head in the sand.

"Of course. My name is Lin Yuan. What's yours?" Lin Yuan replied, smiling as he gently lifted Qiu Wanxi's chin.

"Don't lower your head. You look so adorable when you're brave."

Qiu Wanxi's cheeks turned even redder, but she obediently raised her head.

"My… my name is Qiu Wanxi," she introduced herself shyly.

"Qiu Wanxi… what a beautiful name for a beautiful girl!" Lin Yuan said, though he had already known her name for a while.

"T-thank you… thank you!" Qiu Wanxi stammered, her big, lovely eyes darting away nervously.

"Umm… you've been so kind to me today. Is this part of your influential family's test? Are you making prank videos? Or…?"

Qiu Wanxi clutched the corner of her skirt nervously as she spoke.

Her uneasiness was understandable. She felt like Cinderella from a fairy tale, and Lin Yuan was her dazzling prince.

But reality isn't a fairy tale, and she didn't know what she could do to hold Lin Yuan's attention. She didn't even know what she had that could attract his attention…
