Manipulative Harem God

Chapter 75 "You already have a plan?"



Chapter 75 “You already have a plan?”

Zhang Wei finally parked his car in the parking lot, gazing helplessly at the lump of flesh lying in the passenger seat.

“Pa-pa…” murmured Feng Xinyue, lost in peaceful slumber.

Zhang Wei’s lips twitched in annoyance. “Is this all she does? Just sleep and eat?” he wondered, a tinge of frustration creeping into his voice as he carefully lifted her out of the car.

However, a conflicted expression flashed across his face as he pondered the best way to carry her.

She was too big to be cradled like a child yet too small to warrant a princess-like embrace.

Despite the curious glances cast his way, Zhang Wei preferred the latter option.

With determined steps, he made his way back to the lift, effortlessly shouldering the weight of his sleeping companion.

As his figure disappeared, the enigmatic parcel woman materialized, her form merging with the shadows.

“How dare he taint her with his filthy hands! Should I kill him?” she seethed, her anger palpable, displeased by the mere mortal repeatedly touching her sister’s delicate skin.

Though the system was aware of her existence, it remained silent for now, deeming her harmless to Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei and this mysterious woman possessed contrasting personalities, making it prudent to avoid any encounters between them.

Placing his hand on the biometric scanner, Zhang Wei activated the mechanism, and the door obediently slid open, granting him entry.

In apartments like this, a dual-layered security system was the norm. The first line of defense involved biometric authentication for access, followed by a sturdy metal key capable of overriding the biometrics if necessary.

However, if the door was locked with the key, relying solely on the biometric scanner would prove futile.

Silently, Zhang Wei stepped into the apartment, paying no heed to placing Feng Xinyue on the bed.

Instead, he casually tossed her onto the inviting couch, her soft form resembling that of a delicate bun.

After all, why would a girl as soft as bun need anything more than a comfortable couch?

Yu Lei, with sticky batter still clinging to her hands, emerged from the kitchen in a flurry of activity. Her cheeks puffed in annoyance, she wiped the sweat off her forehead as she approached Zhang Wei.

“Welcome back! But you’re late!” she muttered, a hint of exasperation in her voice.

Zhang Wei raised an eyebrow, glancing at the clock. “It’s only ten,” he replied, puzzled by Yu Lei’s comment.

Yu Lei’s lips twitched, frustration evident on her face. “It’s already ten, and not just ten!” she exclaimed, emphasizing her point.

Zhang Wei shook his head, a faint smile playing on his lips. “You haven’t even prepared dinner yet. How am I supposed to be late here?” he retorted, his tone laced with playful banter.

Realizing her oversight, Yu Lei’s expression instantly changed as she remembered the special cuisine she was supposed to be cooking.

Without wasting another moment, she hurried back into the kitchen, aware that the fish would have been burnt had she been any later.

She let out a sigh of relief as she assessed the state of the dish, grateful that it was saved in the nick of time.

Meanwhile, Zhang Wei shook his head, mildly amused by the whirlwind of activity that surrounded Yu Lei.

Deciding it was time for him to freshen up and change clothes, Zhang Wei made his way to the bathroom.

As he stood under the flowing water, his mind wandered, slightly curious about what exactly was going through Yu Lei’s mind during their brief interaction.

[Do you have any plan, host?] the system asked, curious about Zhang Wei’s thoughts.

Zhang Wei furrowed his brow, contemplating the situation. “I’m still thinking,” he replied, his voice tinged with uncertainty.

The system pressed further, questioning his lack of worry. [Then, why aren’t you worried, host?]

Zhang Wei fell silent for a moment, considering his response carefully.

Then, he shared the only plan he had formulated so far. “If she makes too much drama about the harem, my plan is to trap her somewhere until she changes her mind.”

The system praised his strategy, expressing its approval.

[That is an excellent strategy, host.]

Zhang Wei shook his head, a hint of frustration creeping into his voice. “How can you say that’s excellent?” he questioned, perplexed by the system’s assessment.

Wasn’t it supposed to be his backup plan?

He had to come up with something better than that!

Zhang Wei returned wearing his comfortable lounge attire, only to find the dining table adorned with an exquisite array of dishes.

The table was a mosaic of culinary delights – sizzling stir-fried fish, perfectly steamed rice, refreshing cucumber salad, a colorful dish of bell peppers, and even a delightful serving of green tea ice cream.

“How did you manage to prepare all of this?” Zhang Wei asked, his eyes widening in astonishment as he gazed at Yu Lei.

Yu Lei, wearing a faint smile of accomplishment, replied, “I came home early today!”

Curiosity piqued, Zhang Wei took his seat and inquired, “How early, exactly?”

Ever since he became a Cultivator, Zhang Wei noticed a substantial increase in his hunger, amplifying his need for sustenance.

“I arrived home at 5 o’clock in the evening,” Yu Lei responded after a brief moment of contemplation.

Zhang Wei couldn’t help but marvel at the amount of time this woman had dedicated solely to preparing their dinner.

Surely, she could have utilized that time for more productive endeavors.

However, this realization also hinted at the fact that she had been alone for hours before his arrival, which explained why she said, he was late.

While Zhang Wei was enjoying his meal Yu Lei leaned over and inquired about the taste of his food.

Zhang Wei took a moment to savor the flavors before replying, “As much as I would like to say that putting a smiley face on that cookie was just a waste of time, it actually tastes surprisingly good.”

Yu Lei was taken aback by his unusual comment, then let out a small wry smile before retorting, “Can’t you ever give a normal compliment?”

As she gestured towards Feng Xinyue, Yu Lei curiously asked, “What’s the story with her?”

In response, Zhang Wei began detailing the girl’s activities throughout the day, giving Yu Lei enough information to understand why Feng Xinyue was sound asleep.

“How can she manage to survive after eating so much?” Yu Lei asked, her amazement plain in her voice.

Zhang Wei replied uninterested, “She’s not ordinary.

Yu Lei was slightly surprised, “Not ordinary, like you with superpowers?”

Zhang Wei nodded affirmatively.

Yu Lei couldn’t help but feel a newfound appreciation for his compassionate side, “Is that why you were so eager to adopt her?”

Suspicion flickered in her eyes, trying hard to suppress her smile.

Without realizing the gravity of her misunderstanding, she genuinely believed that Zhang Wei wanted to save this girl.

Not wanting to spoil the moment, Zhang Wei chose not to clarify as he watched the sparkle in Yu Lei’s eyes.

He could do nothing but shake his head as she went on to describe a man who had been constantly pestering her.

Yu Lei desperately wanted Zhang Wei to react to her words, but he stood there, cool as ice, not even blinking at her.

This made her feel slightly irritated by his lack of emotion.

“Why don’t you use your powers to teach him a lesson he won’t forget?” she finally proposed, making it clear she wanted a response.

“He’s already behind bars,” replied Zhang Wei matter-of-factly.

“What!?” exclaimed Yu Lei, completely taken aback by the news. “How did he get there?”

Zhang Wei asked to confirm his suspicion, “His name is Ye Feng, right?”

“Yes, that’s the one. He’s the new driver for Lin Ruoxi. Honestly, he’s just so annoying,” Yu Lei replied, almost rolling her eyes and clearly relieved that he was out of the way.

Yu Lei had a rare desired personality trait among women.

She had the tendency to share with her husband every man who flirted with her during the day, almost making a habit of it.

It was good for Zhang Wei as well, since he can spot any suspicious person around her, before the time, and prevent any tragedy from happening in advance.

Zhang Wei repeated that Ye Feng was indeed in jail, leaving Yu Lei feeling surprised but relieved that he wouldn’t be able to trouble her again.

She didn’t bother to ask how he had ended up there or anything else.

It was as if she had given up on trying to make sense of the strange events that had transpired.

How Zhang Wei solved a problem was completely up to him, she thought.

But Yu Lei couldn’t help but be slightly amazed as she watched him effortlessly solve the problem at hand.

The way he did it was so fast that it left her speechless.

“Husband, how can you solve the problem even before I tell you? Isn’t it too fast?” she asked, her eyes wide open in disbelief.

Zhang Wei shook his head, shamelessly taking the credit.

He didn’t do it for her, but if it would bring some extra rewards to the table, he didn’t mind.

Surprisingly, the women didn’t ask anything about Leng Mei or his abilities anymore until both of them, Zhang Wei finally noticed some strange objects lying on the desk in their bedroom.

There was a large, menacing knife, like one used by a butcher, and a document with a file that had caught his attention.

He couldn’t help but look at them, curious by the mystery that surrounded them.

Yu Lei emerged from the shadows in a slightly visible black nightgown, her body exposed in all its glory, as it was nearly transparent.

After casting a look at him, she switched off the light, and snuggled next to him, her warm breath caressing his skin.

Zhang Wei felt irritated as he lay there motionless, watching Yu Lei remain silent 𝐧𝗈𝐕𝓮𝑙𝓷𝞮xt.𝒸𝑜𝑀

He couldn’t shake off the feeling that she was giving him the silent treatment, and it bothered him that she wasn’t asking about the morning incident with Leng Mei or how he got his powers.

A thought crossed his mind – was she trying to play with his mind?

As he pondered this, he dismissed the idea since it seemed unlikely.

However, the fact that Yu Lei was happy after everything made him feel uneasy.

There was clearly something going on in her head, and he needed to find out what it was.

Finally, he broke the silence. “So, are you not going to ask about this morning?”

Yu Lei remained silent at first, but her breathing became quickened.

She whispered after an pause, “About Leng Mei?”

Zhang Wei nodded, and suddenly, Yu Lei extended her hands and turned on the lights. “Don’t worry about her, husband – I already have a plan,” she said, her gaze fixed on him with a look of desire.

The sudden brightness of the lights seemed to intensify his unease, and Zhang Wei couldn’t help but feel a sense of apprehension.

He was surprised by Yu Lei’s words and sensed an eerie feeling emanating from her.

Zhang Wei was momentarily confused. “You have a plan?”

What on earth was she talking about?

Zhang Wei couldn’t shake off the feeling that something wasn’t right.

Why would she have a plan?

Why was he supposed to be worried here?

Shouldn’t they normally have a full-blown debate or fight about this topic?

He was right to be suspicious – she was definitely up to something.

He started to feel uneasy about how she was acting so normal all day.

It was unlike her to behave like nothing was happening when there clearly was something amiss.

And the fact that she didn’t even ask about Feng Xinyue before going to sleep indicated that her mind was preoccupied with something else.
