Chapter 87: Tang Yunle in Female Rivalry

“I knew daddy would come pick me up!”

“Thank you for your hard work, daddy~”

“Yunle likes daddy the most!”

As she spoke, the girl’s fluffy little head rubbed affectionately against the young man’s chest, just like a little cotton-padded jacket that knew how to act cute.

Qin Liang was stunned by this sudden display of affection.

‘Has Tang Yunle really started to see me as her daughter?’

‘But he’s only 18 this year?’

‘Even if she wants to show that we’re close, there’s no need to call me ‘daddy’ in public, is there?!’

However, in a place he hadn’t noticed, the girl who was snuggling in his arms secretly turned her head and cast a provocative gaze behind her.

In that direction, five or six meters away, a tall and mature older sister was intimately holding the arm of a tall and handsome man.

‘Yo, yo, yo, see that? This is my master.’

‘I call him daddy. My relationship with him is much closer than your relationship with that man next to you, whom you call ‘master’.’

Xia Yinqiu’s beautiful eyes instantly lit up with flames. Although Tang Yunle hadn’t spoken, as a female pet who was also in a female competition, how could she not understand the meaning in her gaze?

If this can be tolerated, what cannot be tolerated! If the master can tolerate it, the pet cannot!

My own master’s concern for me must be greater than Tang Yunle’s daddy’s concern for her.

Thinking of this, Xia Yinqiu no longer hesitated. She immediately hugged Mr. Li’s arm and said in a coquettish voice, “Master, I’m a little hungry.”

“Let’s go have some Black Forest cake later.”

“Okay, we’ll go buy some later,” the man replied, and at the same time, he raised his hand and patted the mature older sister’s head.

The originally cool and aloof ice mountain mature older sister was now as obedient as a house cat, rubbing against his palm.

Seeing this scene, Tang Yunle was not to be outdone.

She hugged Qin Liang’s arm and proactively rubbed her cheek against the man’s. Although the elegant scent of cedar was pleasant, it couldn’t extinguish the competitive fire of the female competition in her heart.

“Daddy, I also want to eat Black Forest cake, and I want a double portion.”

He looked down and met the dark black beautiful eyes that were full of anticipation and longing. Qin Liang nodded helplessly.

“Alright, alright. I’ll buy some for you later too.”

Seeing that Qin Liang had agreed, Tang Yunle once again turned her head back proudly and gave a provocative look.

This time, it was as if a spark had ignited a powder keg. Xia Yinqiu attacked again.

“Master, will you feed me the cake?”

“Daddy, I want you to feed me too, and with two spoons at the same time!”

“I want to drink something after I finish the cake.”

“What a coincidence, I want to drink something too, and a double portion.”

“…”

After a few rounds of this, the two girls stopped pretending. They let go of their respective masters and confronted each other on the spot.

You say your master is amazing, I say my daddy is better. The argument was endless.

The surrounding crowd subconsciously dispersed, creating a large circle. Many female pets also stopped to watch.

As expected, the essence of humanity is to watch the drama unfold.

Taking all this in, Qin Liang lowered his head and supported his forehead with one hand. He just felt as if he had put on a mask of pain.

It’s over. The female competition has really begun.

“Second Young Master Qin, long time no see.”

Suddenly, a gentle male voice sounded from in front of him.

Qin Liang looked up and saw that it was Xia Yinqiu’s master—Mr. Li.

Although he didn’t know his intention, nor who he was or why he knew his name, Qin Liang still politely greeted him, “Hello.”

“Your brother and I have some business dealings. I had the honor of meeting you once at Second Young Master Qin’s fifteenth birthday,” Mr. Li explained, seeing the confusion on Qin Liang’s face.

He pointed to a delicate tea house not far away and suggested, “How about a drink?”

Qin Liang didn’t answer immediately. He glanced at Tang Yunle, who was so red in the face from arguing that her cheeks were puffed out, and then he looked away.

‘Let them argue if they want. As long as she doesn’t completely accept this world and be assimilated into a female pet, everything is still fine.’

As for what to do if Tang Yunle was really assimilated… then he would have to resolve it according to her promise.

One must always keep one’s word.

Qingmao Tea House, on the sixth floor, by the window.

This seat was directly opposite the female pet center. With a slight lowering of his head, he could see the two S-grade female pets who were still arguing at the entrance.

The waitress female pet brought the tea. The aroma of the tea was fragrant, elegant, and distant.

Qin Liang put down his phone and took a sip of the tea.

The tea was slightly bitter at first, but then it had a sweet aftertaste that lingered.

After a few words with his big brother Qin Wen, he had a general idea of the identity of this Mr. Li before him.

In short, he was a sales agent for one of their family’s industries in a certain region. He would get goods from the Qin family every year and then resell them. It wasn’t a strict superior-subordinate relationship, but more of a mutually beneficial one.

Qin Wen even joked, “He’s probably trying to curry favor by taking you out for tea. He’ll definitely be sending gifts later. I know you don’t understand these social niceties, so just accept them. Don’t refuse, or he’ll think our Qin family is not satisfied with him as an agent and is planning to replace him.”

Qin Liang seemed to understand but not really. But he vaguely understood that in this bizarre H-anime world, apart from being rich, his family also seemed to have some power.

Seeing that Qin Liang had put down his phone and was free, Mr. Li took the initiative to start a conversation. “Is Second Young Master Qin currently studying at this university?”

“Yes, I’m still a freshman.”

“You’re so young and promising. When I took the college entrance exam a dozen years ago, my goal was this top-tier university.”

The corner of Qin Liang’s mouth twitched slightly.

When he took the college entrance exam, he was lying in a hospital counting the stars. Later, he had wanted to spend money to get a diploma from Kyoto University, but because he had become curious about Kele during the summer vacation after the college entrance exam, he had asked his parents to get him a letter of recommendation, and that was how he had gotten into this top-tier university.

He didn’t know how to respond, so he just kept quiet.

The atmosphere was a little cold for a moment.

But Mr. Li was very good at smoothing things over. Seeing that the previous topic hadn’t continued, he turned the conversation to the direction Qin Liang had been looking at through the window. “What does Second Young Master Qin think of those two S-grade female pets?”

“They’re a little competitive.”

“Indeed. But there are also benefits to such female pets. They will work harder to improve their own value.”

“Being too competitive can be a lot of trouble to take care of.”

“Indeed. Being overly competitive is also a source of annoyance for us masters.”

“If we were to raise two of them together, and they got along for a while, I wonder if we could wear down their competitive nature and make them treat each other like sisters.”

“That’s a great suggestion, Second Young Master Qin.”

For the next fifteen minutes, Qin Liang got a taste of what the art of language was.

Mr. Li was worthy of being a sales agent. Even though he knew that the other party was deliberately trying to get close to him, it wasn’t annoying to listen to. On the contrary, it was comfortable.

And he was extremely good at reading people’s expressions. Seeing that Qin Liang’s face had suddenly darkened after sitting for 15 minutes, he took the initiative to leave.

And Qin Liang…

“Cough, cough, cough! Cough, cough, cough!!”

A violent cough suddenly erupted from the window seat on the sixth floor. About seven or eight seconds later, the coughing stopped.

Qin Liang looked down at the tissue in his hand. A line of blood was stained on it, glaring and shocking.

“So soon.”

He murmured to himself. The next second, he crumpled the tissue into a ball and threw it into the trash can.
