My System Forces Me to Live off Women

Ningyuan City, Jinyou Home.

After hanging up the phone, Li Qiyuan sat quietly for a while, burdened with thoughts, and walked up to the attic.

Although the new home was basically renovated, considering the residue of formaldehyde, the couple did not move in and still lived in the old house.

"Da da~"

Yu Huizhi, who was painting, instinctively turned her head upon hearing footsteps and smiled, "Honey, come and see, does my painting look alike?"

In front of Yu Huizhi were two canvases; the closer one was the one she was painting, while the slightly farther one was the watercolor painting created by Li Peifeng when he returned home during the New Year.

The night sky in the painting was magical and magnificent, with dazzling colors immersing viewers.

Under the starry sky was the Dahela Port, the lighthouse dim, giant ships, solitary boats, and faintly visible fishing lights. The Nether Sea surged, with turbulent waves crashing against Gao Yue Mountain’s reefs, nearly splashing over the mountaintop, never ceasing for countless years, still rolling powerfully.

Lonely, cold, with a touch of mysterious awe.

If one only looks at the upper part of the painting, it can bring a sense of desolate lament to the viewer’s heart, as the saying goes: "Only the infinity of heaven and earth prevails, lamenting life’s long toil," or, "Hovering like a mayfly in the universe, like a tiny speck in the sea."

Yet, in the center of the painting, atop Gao Yue Mountain, four women and one man are either sitting or embracing, nestled together in various poses, gazing towards the horizon. Their silhouettes are so small that viewers can’t discern their faces, but can clearly sense the five’s smiles, mutual affection and attachment, and their fearless spirit.

This makes the painting, though themed on the emotionless natural scenes of starry skies and the sea, imbued with romanticism and the optimism of ’The Creator’s inexhaustible treasury, where you and I both find concord.’

"Why are you imitating it again?"

Li Qiyuan frowned slightly, Yu Huizhi was a little embarrassed and exclaimed: "Fengfeng did paint well, especially in terms of colors — no matter how I mix them, I always feel the colors aren’t as natural and harmonious as his. I’ve long said he has a talent for painting; if we let him study art back then, Fengfeng might have already become a globally renowned, globally impacting great painter!"

"Fine, then let me tell you something even more shocking, our son just called me..."

Li Qiyuan recounted his conversation with Li Peifeng honestly but omitted some unimportant parts, like the figure of five million.

"Are you really going to go?"

Yu Huizhi listened, also worriedly: "Then what will you say when you meet Qingge’s parents?"

Li Qiyuan’s expression was grave, and he remained silent.

Although considering the astounding sum of five million... although considering the deep father-son relationship and blood bond, Old Li agreed to visit the Capital and meet Zhao Qingge’s parents, how to speak when meeting them, he truly hadn’t thought out in such a short time.

But one thing is certain, Li Qiyuan doesn’t plan to simply follow his son’s intention and go afar just to perform a play that will eventually be seen through.

Ultimately, Old Li still wishes to fulfill his parental duty, guiding Li Peifeng on the right path, rather than increasingly rushing towards self-destruction.

"Have you decided how to say it?" Yu Huizhi saw her husband’s face change from dark to clear in a short period and immediately pursued.

"This isn’t about what I want to say, but fundamentally, it’s about what our son wants to choose."

Li Qiyuan sighed lightly and said: "Once I get there, I’ll let him make the choice himself."

...

"You only have these two choices."

At this moment, Li Peifeng had already returned under the Jintian City building, accompanied by Zhao Qingge driving him back. On the way, Li Peifeng tentatively asked Old Zhao about his attitude towards the marriage proposal he had previously put forward. The answer he received wasn’t the one he desired but was expected.

"Either marry only me, or don’t marry me at all."

Zhao Qingge slightly lifted her eyelid, gazing through the car window towards the top floor, pursed her lips slightly: "After marriage, you can continue seeing them — I don’t care — but you can’t get legally married to them."

Li Peifeng was rendered silent, pondering thoroughly, and simply decided to communicate more directly and candidly with Zhao Qingge.

His core viewpoint remained unchanged — he must marry the other three — this was promised earlier, and if he can’t fulfill it, not only will he be letting them down, but Li Peifeng also couldn’t live with himself, and this relationship won’t last long.

To persuade Zhao Qingge, he made concessions again, even talked about plans of not divorcing her first and remarrying them later, but the counterpart still disagreed.

[That’s already a crime. If I find out, I’ll sue you immediately.]

[Sue then, I’ve checked, at most it’s imprisonment for up to two years, I’ll take it!]

Zhao Qingge’s mind went blank, angrily spat out words while trembling, her face flushed.

Li Peifeng, regardless, even pulled her over and tried to kiss.

"Don’t touch me!"

Zhao Qingge fiercely resisted, punching and kicking, making a racket in the car.

It’s a shock reaction! It’s a shock reaction!

Li Peifeng ended up with a mouthful of hair, with Zhao Qingge using her head to block him, making him unable to kiss successfully and had to let go in frustration.

"You’ve got some nerve!!"

Zhao Qingge not yet calmed down from her anger, swung her tight little fists at Li Peifeng’s chest twice, seeing his pained expression without retaliation, her eyes turned sharp, approximately four or five seconds later, turned her head away not to look at him, caring little even to talk, opting for mental communication immediately.

[I’ll only ask you two questions, answer them and I’ll listen to you.]
