Chapter 80 Going Crazy
To be favored by a goddess, shouldn't this little twerp be over the moon by now??
Soon, many people came to a realization, it seemed this twerp was scared of offending Hao Chengkang, after all, on first sight, he didn't have money or power, and Hao Chengkang could probably get him half-killed with just a few ruffians.
In their hearts, everyone started to look down on Liu Wentian, thinking this little twerp was really spineless. Hao Chengkang hadn't even threatened him, and he had already chickened out.
Hao Chengkang laughed smugly, praising, "Liu Wentian, not bad, seeing how sensible you are, I won't hold this against you."
Li Chuyue stared at Liu Wentian with disbelief, feeling incredibly upset and disappointed. She had mustered up the courage with difficulty to say that Liu Wentian was her boyfriend, yet he behaved like this.
"Liu Wentian, you... how could you be like this??" Li Chuyue said, tearfully.
Yet Liu Wentian seemed very angry, saying, "Sister Yueyue, what do you mean 'be like this'? You're going too far!!"
"I... how am I going too far? You're the one who's going too far!" Li Chuyue said, feeling aggrieved.
"Of course you're going too far. I am your husband, yet you only called me your boyfriend. Doesn't that mean I've been demoted? No way, I'm angry now. Call me 'husband' quickly, or else, you won't be able to sleep at all tonight!!"
"Ah!! Husband??"
At first, Li Chuyue was stunned, followed by a flush that turned her pretty face red as if it might bleed.
"Right, call out 'husband' and let me hear it, otherwise I'm really going to get angry!!" Liu Wentian chuckled and said, then he winked at Li Chuyue.
Li Chuyue immediately understood. Liu Wentian must have realized she was not interested in Hao Chengkang, and took the initiative to be her shield, making Hao Chengkang give up his intentions.
But even then, the term 'husband' wasn't something one could just call out casually, Li Chuyue felt her heart racing so fast it seemed like it might burst out of her chest.
"Sister Yueyue, if you don't call out 'husband', you'll face the family discipline tonight!!" Liu Wentian said again with a teasing smile.
Ah!! Family discipline!!
The men of the Human Sect in the cafeteria, upon hearing this, immediately conjured countless unhealthy fantasies, their gazes towards Liu Wentian almost bursting with flames.
Jealousy and envy!!
Li Chuyue, having thought of some unhealthy scenarios herself, felt so embarrassed she almost buried her face into her chest. With a soft and tender voice, she said, "Hus... husband."
"That's right, I'll let my wife off tonight, and let you have a good rest—hee-hee." Liu Wentian uttered another sentence that made all the other men want to chop him.
This guy was actually Li Chuyue's husband, and it seemed like he didn't let Li Chuyue rest every night, making the crowd of men feel as if their hearts shattered on the spot, as if they wanted to find a corner to cry in.
"Impossible!! Li Chuyue, when did you get married? How come I don't understand!!" Hao Chengkang's face turned ashen, and he roared in anger.
He had been with plenty of women, including many supermodels, but he had never had someone of Li Chuyue's caliber.
Li Chuyue was a voluptuous beauty with the allure of a mature woman, yet she possessed the innocence of the girl-next-door. Particularly gentle and elegant by nature, she had always maintained a clean reputation. Aside from a less impressive background, she could almost be described as the perfect woman, no less than Shenming City's famous movie queen Bai Ruguo, or the powerful businesswoman Li He.
The moment he laid eyes on Li Chuyue, he had decided—he must have her, no matter what, she couldn't get away!!
Liu Wentian mocked, "Mr. Hao, for me and Sister Yueyue's matter, do I really need your approval? Who do you think you are, ah, the civil affairs bureau?"
"You..."
Hao Chengkang was at a loss for words, anger swelling in his heart. Though he acknowledged that other people's marriages didn't indeed need to involve him, he had already deemed Li Chuyue as his woman and wasn't about to give up easily.
"Even if you're married, so what? Divorce is always an option! Li Chuyue, he's not worthy of you at all. Divorce him, I won't mind; I truly like you,"
Hao Chengkang looked at Li Chuyue with a pained expression and said, "Just one look and it's clear he can't offer you anything, whereas I can buy you cars, houses, LV bags, luxury jewelry, and high-end cosmetics. This loser is simply not a match for your beauty.
"Moreover, if you follow me, I guarantee that you'll become a supermodel for sure. If you don't want to work, you don't have to do anything; I will support you, and you'll live a life others will envy!"
It must be said, his words were somewhat tempting, and indeed quite a few women in the canteen were moved by them—it was a chance to transform into a phoenix!
However, the more Li Chuyue listened, the colder her expression became. Finally, she said sternly, "Mr. Hao, please mind your words. I don't think Liu Wentian is unworthy of me. I'm very happy with him and don't think he's any loser. As for those things you mentioned, I'm not interested. Even if I wanted them, I would earn them through my own efforts. Lastly, when you say I don't have to do anything, are you suggesting a sugar daddy arrangement? Sorry, although I come from an ordinary background, I'm not that lowly!"

"You... don't know what's good for you!"
Hao Chengkang's words were indeed targeted at a woman's vanity, and he had used such talk to seduce many women into bed, but he didn't expect Li Chuyue to be so direct in her response.
This only fueled his desire to have Li Chuyue; such women were rare nowadays. With so many gold diggers around, especially those from ordinary backgrounds hoping to climb the ladder with their beauty, Li Chuyue was truly a standout, awakening an almost mad possessiveness in him.
Hao Chengkang silently swore he would get this woman into his bed!
"Forget it, I don't want to say any more. Sooner or later, you'll understand the gap between him and me—how he's utterly unworthy of you!" sneered Hao Chengkang disdainfully, glancing at Liu Wentian before leaving without even finishing his meal.
With Hao Chengkang gone, Li Chuyue was still furrowing her brows in worry.
Liu Wentian laughed, "Sister Yueyue, he's gone, he's gone. Why are you staring at his back, daydreaming? You couldn't possibly be interested in him, right?"
Li Chuyue glared at Liu Wentian and scolded, "I'm not at all interested in him, you little rascal, don't spout nonsense. But this afternoon, I still have to shoot an advertisement with him. Now that I've offended him, it's probably going to be troublesome, especially since he's President Hao's nephew and everyone in the company does as he says."
Liu Wentian paused, President Hao—that was Hao Yuntian!
Without speaking about it, Liu Wentian would have forgotten about this person. Previously he had needed his help, even went so far as to cure his father's illness. Thinking about it, this man still owed him a favor.
However, Liu Wentian had no intention of mentioning it. If he said he knew Hao Yuntian now, and that Hao owed him a favor, Li Chuyue probably wouldn't believe him.
Seeing that Li Chuyue seemed still somewhat worried, Liu Wentian reassured her, "Don't worry, Sister Yueyue. If it comes to it, we'll just quit the job."
"I've signed a long-term contract with the company; I can't just quit whenever," sighed Li Chuyue, a look of distress on her face. "Though the job is tiring, the pay isn't bad. Without this job, what would I rely on to support myself?"
"Of course, I will support you. You already call me your husband," Liu Wentian said, blinking.
"Stop talking nonsense, you've obviously taken advantage of me already, disrespectful brat!" Li Chuyue felt a surge of sweetness in her heart but still scolded him.
Liu Wentian pouted, feeling somewhat unconvinced. It was just a three-year age difference after all, how was that disrespectful?
