70: He can't be any more handsome, or someone will die!
While doing anaerobic exercise last night, the System suddenly notified him of a reward, but Cao Lang didn't pay attention at the time.
Opening the System interface, he found he had unlocked a tag and received an additional lottery chance.
The tag name was [Caring for Children], and the reward was a Face Rejuvenation and Body Tempering Pill.
He had two lottery chances in total: one obtained from Li Na, and one obtained from Wang Tangtang.
To be honest, Cao Lang genuinely cared about Wang Tangtang's daughter. Since he never experienced paternal or maternal love growing up, he deeply empathized with Duo Duo's situation and always wanted to reunite the mother and daughter.
However, these tags truly were ever-changing and defied conventional reasoning.
He took the pill from the bedside table. It was red, round, and resembled a mud pellet. Cao Lang put it in his mouth, picked up the bottled water beside the bed, took a sip, and swallowed it.
The medicinal effect should take hold slowly. After a while, Cao Lang felt no obvious changes in his body.
"Time to wake up, big lazybones."
Wang Tangtang and Cao Lang cuddled for a while, then got up and went to the living room.
"Get up!"
Cao Lang stopped sleeping too.
Wang Tangtang hummed a little tune, clearly in a good mood. She hadn't experienced this in years, and the more she thought about it, the happier she felt.
The little "having a child" interlude earlier hadn't affected her much; thinking about it afterward, it only made her feel sweeter inside.
Wang Tangtang put on tight boy shorts and a light pink camisole on her upper body, and started doing morning exercises in the living room, facing the sunlight.
The secret to maintaining a good figure is frequent exercise; a daily workout kept her body shapely, healthy, sexy, and alluring.
Sunlight shone on her graceful body. Cao Lang sat on the sofa, squinting into the sun as he appreciated this stunning scene.
"Maintaining this kind of figure after giving birth is absolutely not just about talent, but also about persistent, long-term effort."
Cao Lang gave a fair assessment.
Chen Yongqiu and Liu Qingqin were both very young and beautiful, not even twenty years old, and their bodies were in peak condition, yet their figures still couldn't compare to Wang Tangtang's.
Chen Yongqiu was relatively tall, with a pair of slender legs that were white and tender. Liu Qingqin was naturally gifted—not tall, but well-endowed in all the right places.
But compared to Wang Tangtang's figure, which came from years of exercise, they seemed slightly inferior.
Every radish has its greens; everyone has their own preferences.
Every type of figure had its merits in Cao Lang's eyes, but it couldn't be denied that effort and self-discipline were the secrets to achieving a superb score.
"Tangtang, come here. Let's discuss the script."
Doing morning exercises in front of Cao Lang first thing in the morning—wasn't that like throwing a meat bun at a dog?
Hearing this, Wang Tangtang was delighted and prepared to pick up the clothes scattered on the floor and put them on.
"This is fine, come over here."
Cao Lang pulled Wang Tangtang's soft hand and embraced her again.
"Haven't you had enough hugging? You hugged me all night yesterday."
Wang Tangtang awkwardly wiggled her ample hips, pouted charmingly, and rolled her eyes at Cao Lang.
Seeing Wang Tangtang look so shy, Cao Lang felt pleased.
"Right, you cursed Zhang Liang out pretty badly yesterday—even 'grass mud horse' came out. You don't seem so aggressive today."
Wang Tangtang's delicate appearance was completely different from her furious outburst in the conference room yesterday.
"When I get angry, my cursing is really foul, but how could I use foul language in front of you?"
"Actually, all women have performing personalities. A shrew can adopt a cute, high-pitched voice, and a delicate maiden can become a manipulative queen."
"It all depends on who we're facing."
Wang Tangtang had always prided herself on being a fierce woman, but in front of Cao Lang, she was like a docile young wife.
Cao Lang smiled silently after hearing this, implicitly agreeing with the statement.
People play multiple roles in society, and switching between different roles naturally results in different behaviors.
"The character in my script requires you to play yourself. You are a Female Internet Celebrity, acting out the love, hate, and grudges with the protagonist."
"Just let your emotions follow your true feelings. This character was created using you as the prototype."
Cao Lang explained while simultaneously checking the novel outline with Wang Tangtang.
"It's not that this drama has no requirements for acting skill—it requires some—but the script I wrote is very close to real life, so what is needed more is for you to play yourself."
"This shouldn't be much of a challenge for you. Get ready."
Wang Tangtang sat on Cao Lang's lap, and to see the small print on the phone clearly, she had to hold Cao Lang's head.
"Wow, this person's experiences, personality, movements, and expressions are all so similar to mine! I feel like this is describing me!"
"I just told you, it was created using you as the prototype."
The man who had silently followed her for three years had actually considered things to this extent for her.
Wang Tangtang released Cao Lang's head and looked around.
"I find you so charming. Not only are you talented and rich, but you also seem to have gotten a bit handsomer."
Wang Tangtang suddenly cupped Cao Lang's chiseled face with both hands, liking what she saw more and more.
"Can I call you Husband from now on?"
"You can."
"Husband~ Mwah mwah da."
Was it a case of beauty being in the eye of the beholder?
Wang Tangtang swallowed. She noticed Cao Lang had suddenly become incredibly charismatic, like a kind of 'ugly-handsome' man—at first glance, she couldn't pinpoint what made him handsome, but his entire person seemed to be radiating light.
She couldn't help but flash a lovesick smile, leaned in, and passionately kissed Cao Lang.
Cao Lang: ???
They were discussing the script, so why did he suddenly feel like this woman was acting strange... Cao Lang regained his breath, felt hot all over, left Wang Tangtang, and ran to the bathroom to take a cold shower.
He clearly felt his figure had become slightly more solid; this must have been the effect of the pill he took earlier.
Cao Lang looked at himself in the mirror. His overall physique was more balanced, his abdomen was slightly defined, and his eight-pack abs seemed ready to burst forth. His shoulders were also broader, making him appear tall and imposing.
Looking at his face, he had star-like brows and sword-like eyes, with sharp, distinct features. His clean black eyes were clear and flawless, reflecting the sink light like a brilliant galaxy.
Cao Lang touched his face.
Holy crap, how did I get even handsomer!
"Husband~ Why aren't you done yet? I miss you!"
Wang Tangtang's voice drifted from outside, sounding like a little stray cat meowing in the neighborhood on a March night.
Cao Lang frowned. He felt his face getting hotter and hotter, as if a pair of large hands were performing facial surgery on him.
This won't do. Cao Lang looked at himself in the mirror and realized he was getting handsomer by the minute.
He was already very handsome; he couldn't get any handsomer. If he did, people would die!
