My System Forces Me to Live off Women

Done!

Li Peifeng let out a long sigh of relief, but Miss Xu’s unpleasant expression prevented him from readily agreeing, so he quickly changed the topic, mentioning his recent idea of starting a company to manage the copyrights of his works, and how the money would be just in time to use as startup capital.

The dinner gathering was long, with topics constantly shifting, and people toast back and forth, their faces slightly flushed from drinking. As Xu Hongfei asked, ’Qiyuan, don’t you think it’s time to set a date for these two kids?’, the chaotic noise at the dinner quieted down.

Finally, it’s here!

The string that had always existed in Li Qiyuan’s heart instantly tightened, but he maintained a relaxed smile and said, "I previously consulted the two kids, and neither of them is in a hurry. They thought it better to wait until after their respective graduations to proceed. On another note, I don’t think Fengfeng is mature enough in dealing with relationships yet, and Manning might be easily wronged in the future... In short, I won’t interfere in this. Whenever the two kids decide to get married, I’ll support them wholeheartedly as a parent."

Manning doesn’t have to be wronged in the future — she’s feeling wronged right now. The fact that the 360 million can’t pass through her hands makes her deeply distressed, and she’s currently contemplating how to privately persuade her mother to give her the money.

Xue Ya and Xu Hongfei were slightly displeased with what Li Qiyuan said, but upon further thought, he didn’t avoid the issue of their children’s marriage. Instead, he presented himself as an open-minded parent.

As Manning’s parents, no matter how anxious they are, they couldn’t urge Xu Manning and Li Peifeng, who are still students, to get their marriage certificate. That would make it seem like their precious daughter isn’t wanted and is overly eager.

Granted, Li Peifeng is outstanding, but their Manning’s conditions are not bad either!

The key point is, Li Peifeng seems to listen to their daughter, trusting her to manage such a huge sum of money, which proves the depth of his feelings for Manning. It’s inevitable that the two will walk down the aisle, so there’s no need to rush!

...

At 2 PM, the dinner ended, with hosts and guests all satisfied.

The Ferrari was left by Xu Manning, and Old Li and his son Xiaoli were sent to the station by a Maybach arranged by the Xu family.

Since there was still some time before the departure, Li Peifeng asked the driver to leave first. He stayed with his father in the waiting hall, aware that Old Li wanted to take advantage of this free time before they parted to have a good chat with him.

"Manning’s parents are in business, so their conversation topics are mostly business-related."

Li Qiyuan commented, "Her mother is decisive and multifaceted, bold and meticulous. Her father seems tough but is soft inside, shrewd, clever, and deeply calculative. They’re quite an interesting couple."

"You mean to imply that they might not be suitable as in-laws?"

Understanding the implication, Li Peifeng smiled and said, "It might not fit, but there’s always a match... Qingge’s parents are professors, and you get along well with them, right? And Wenyue’s parents, you can definitely get along with them too. Oh, and remember to take the initiative to meet them when you get back."

"Heh. Old Wu is even more shrewd, afraid that you’d escape as a perfect son-in-law, so he’s clamoring for you to get engaged to Wenyue. How do I face that?"

"Please, take your time to postpone it. Engagement is definitely not an option; it could easily cause trouble."

Li Qiyuan was silent for a moment, then sighed lightly, "You know it’s troublesome now, but this is just the beginning. There’ll be more trouble in the future. If you continue to stay anxious, breaching moral and ethical boundaries, cautiously managing your relationships with several women, striving to maintain harmony and prevent arguments, all while avoiding public exposure, you’ll have to bear serious consequences if your relationships are revealed, causing great harm externally."

"And after giving so much, what are you after? Perhaps it’s the pleasure and comfort they bring you in these emotional relationships? But that joy is fleeting, momentary, as if you never experienced it, is it worth it?"

Li Peifeng hesitated for a moment and asked back, "But, apart from fleeting moments, what else is there in life?"

Li Qiyuan looked closely at his son, suddenly wanting to reach out and pat his head, scolding him for saying nonsense. But realizing his son was grown, that gesture seemed inappropriate. Moreover, what Li Peifeng said seemed to hold some truth, so he retracted his hand midway, clenching it with the other hand.

After contemplating again and again, rubbing his hand, Li Qiyuan’s attention was drawn to the gathering crowd. He turned to look at the digital display board in the waiting hall.

"I should board now."

Li Qiyuan picked up his bag and stood, leaving Li Peifeng with just his back, saying, "Continue to feel it properly."

...

The line between living and merely existing is thin. However, those with a blend of romanticism and strong competitiveness might endure a side effect of this duality—never giving up.

Li Peifeng didn’t give up. Despite meeting the parents of two women consecutively, with mental strain and psychological pressure, and Li Qiyuan’s numerous heartfelt advices, he couldn’t find a reason to give up, especially now that he was approaching the final juncture with several women.

Thus, after Li Qiyuan returned home, Li Peifeng carried on as usual. That very night, in the master bedroom of Jintian City, he teamed up with Wu Wenyue to scold Xu Manning...

Initially, Wu Wenyue was reluctant, but couldn’t resist Li Peifeng’s instigation and manipulation.

First, he fiercely criticized Xu Manning in front of her for being greedy and ruthless, equating his money with Wenyue’s bride price. Then he proposed that as long as they teamed up to teach Xu Manning a lesson, he would give Wenyue one hundred million in bride price in advance.
