14: Chapter 14 Qin Ge: We've already broken up

Under Qin Ge's patient massage, the Old Lady, who had been struggling to breathe with her face turning pale...

Gradually, her breathing stabilized, and her complexion became increasingly rosy.

Qin Ge leaned in and asked softly, "Grandma, do you feel better?"

The Old Lady nodded, "Much better."

She asked curiously, "Qin Ge, where did you learn this massage technique?"

She had seen countless doctors for her chronic condition.

Both Chinese and Western medicine practitioners.

She had also tried traditional Chinese massage.

However, the effects of those massages were never obvious.

If a simple massage could fix this old ailment, why would she still be taking Western medicine?

Qin Ge said intentionally, "I learned it from an intern at our company."

In reality, what Lin Xiaojin had secretly learned didn't even scratch the surface of Chinese medicine.

How could it compare to the vast essence of the Chinese medicine world in his mind?

The reason he said this...

...was to deliberately mention Lin Xiaojin's existence in Jiang Yingxue's ear.

To make a woman, especially one like Jiang Yingxue—Yunhai City's number one beauty—feel a sense of crisis...

...one must establish an enemy that makes her sense danger.

To be honest, the current Lin Xiaojin was not quite qualified to be Jiang Yingxue's rival.

But that didn't stop him from artificially inflating Lin Xiaojin's value!

Sure enough, hearing this, Jiang Yingxue frowned and said, "Lin Xiaojin?"

Qin Ge turned his head, feigning surprise. "You know her?"

"I don't?" Jiang Yingxue shook her head. "I've run into her."

She thought Lin Xiaojin was just relying on her looks to get preferential treatment from Qin Ge at the company.

She didn't expect Lin Xiaojin to actually have this kind of skill.

It seemed she had looked down on the girl through a narrow lens!

She looked at Qin Ge and asked curiously, "If Grandma encounters this situation again, can you help her with a massage?"

Qin Ge nodded, "Of course I can!"

The Old Lady was tempted, but she worried about affecting Qin Ge's work, saying, "Medicine can also provide relief."

Qin Ge took the Old Lady's hand and said gently, "Grandma, that medicine has many side effects. In the future, I'll just help you with a massage."

"Sleep for a while first. When you wake up, you'll feel much more relaxed."

The Old Lady obediently hummed in agreement, "Then I'll sleep for a bit."

Qin Ge turned off the light and closed the door.

He walked out of the bedroom with Jiang Yingxue.

Back in the living room, Jiang Yingxue looked at Qin Ge and said gratefully, "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't have known what to do this time."

Qin Ge waved his hand, "You don't need to thank me. I stepped in for the Old Lady's sake; it has nothing to do with you."

Truth be told, Jiang Yingxue's grandmother truly doted on him.

It was no exaggeration to say...

...that the useless coward of his previous self could only find warm comfort from Jiang Yingxue's grandmother.

"Grandma is asleep." Jiang Yingxue offered an invitation, "Let me treat you to dinner."

Qin Ge rolled his eyes, "No need. Don't flatter yourself."

"You need to recognize reality: we have already broken up."

"You are you, and I am me."

"Why should we eat together for no reason?"

"We don't have any business dealings either. In your eyes, could there actually be a simple friendship between a man and a woman?"

Jiang Yingxue said anxiously, "Then what you just said about helping my grandmother with massages—were you lying to her?"

Qin Ge replied coldly and speechlessly, "That part is true, because Grandma is a good person. As for still being in a relationship with you, that was a lie—but it was a white lie."

"It's fine to fool the Old Lady, but don't go fooling yourself."

Jiang Yingxue clenched her small fists and asked in disbelief, "Qin Ge, are you serious?"

"You really want to break up with me?"

Qin Ge tilted his head, "Otherwise? Was I just playing around? I've even taken back the gifts I gave out."

"Wait, there's still one gift you haven't returned!"

He pointed at Jiang Yingxue's delicate nose and urged, "Don't linger on this. If we're breaking up, let's make it a clean break. Hurry up and return that gift to me!"

Thinking of that gift, Jiang Yingxue's beautiful face turned red with shame and annoyance. She gritted her teeth and said indignantly, "Qin Ge, have you no shame? You even want back the underwear I've worn?"

Qin Ge countered, "It's not just underwear!"

With a serious expression and clear articulation, he emphasized, "It is a LA PERLA Women's MAISON B010 75D Push-up Lace Embroidered Underwire Black Bra!"

"Remember, I want the original—wait, I mean the original item. Don't give me some fake. The important thing I'm taking back is the sentiment."

Qin Ge left, giving Jiang Yingxue no chance to argue.

No matter how beautiful she was...

...even if she was Yunhai City's number one beauty...

...she was still a woman.

A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.

But now, he had found the needle in the depths of Jiang Yingxue's heart and even threaded a nylon line through its eye.

Now, no matter how wildly he swung it...

...that needle in the depths of Jiang Yingxue's heart could not escape his palm!

"Qin Ge!"

Jiang Yingxue watched Qin Ge's disappearing figure, biting her lip in anger.

She had only rejected Qin Ge's marriage proposal.

She never said she wanted to break up.

By what right did this guy decide to end it just like that!

He even changed the Company Name to 'Qin Yun Tiancheng'.

He's being serious, isn't he?

It's just a breakup, right!

As if she, Jiang Yingxue, couldn't bear to let go?

Does he think she, Jiang Yingxue, would be afraid?

That she would be reluctant?

That she wouldn't be able to handle it?

Jiang Yingxue clenched her small fists, her teeth itching with resentment, "Fine, let's break up!"

"Qin Ge, you will regret this!"

"When the time comes, even if you come back to chase me again!"

"I will never agree to your pursuit again!"

"I, Jiang Yingxue, will absolutely never look back!"

"Qin Ge, you brought this on yourself. Just wait and regret it!"

...

"Ding! Daughter of Destiny Jiang Yingxue has developed feelings of anger toward the Host. Rewarding Host with +1000 villain points!"

"Ding! Daughter of Destiny Jiang Yingxue has developed feelings of extreme shame and indignation toward the Host. Rewarding Host with +2000 villain points!"

"Ding! Daughter of Destiny Jiang Yingxue has developed a slight feeling of regret toward the Host. Rewarding Host with +12000 villain points!"

Hiss...

Even though Qin Ge was sitting in the rolls-royce phantom, his hand shook upon hearing the System prompt, almost spilling his drink.

How far along are we?

She's already starting to regret it?

Moreover, just a slight feeling of regret provided twelve thousand villain points?

Damn, this feeling of regret is way too valuable.

With the generous rewards in hand, Qin Ge became even more determined to play with Jiang Yingxue until she was caught between pleasure and death!

He waved his hand, "Bet it all on the gacha!"

Like a shot of vodka, go all in from the start!

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining body strengthening pill +1!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for participating in the gacha!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for participating in the gacha +2!"

"..."

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for participating in the gacha +13!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining body strengthening pill +2!"

"Ding! Host has failed thirteen consecutive draws, triggering the Pity System Divine Ability. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining Gun Fighting Technique! When this Divine Ability is active, the Host gains total mastery over all modern firearms, and the bullets fired can curve, directed by the Host's will."

"Holy crap?"

Gun Fighting Technique?

Bullets that defy common physics and can curve?

There's actually such a Divine Ability?

Qin Ge was greatly amazed.

Doesn't that mean a bullet he fires could enter through the anus and come out through the mouth?

Even if it doesn't kill them, it would disgust them to death!

Qin Ge directly swallowed the two body strengthening pills he had obtained, then opened his status panel.

System Character Panel:

Host: Qin Ge

villain points Balance: 0

Constitution: 182

Charm: 99 (Appearance 25 + Temperament 25 + Constitution 25 + Wealth & Character 24)

Divine Ability: 'Gou', Gun Fighting Technique

"Tsk, with a Constitution of 182 points, under the bonus of the Suit Thug title, my explosive combat power can reach as high as 273 points! Even Chen Yuan, who just came down from the mountain, is likely no match for me now!"

Qin Ge shook his head, "I can't be careless. These Children of Destiny don't follow logic; he might just achieve a Breakthrough in a crisis! The wider the gap, the safer it is!"

In the Divine Ability column, there was currently only Gun Fighting Technique.

Even The Art of Restoring Life didn't qualify as a Divine Ability.

On the other hand, Flesh to White Bone sounded even more impressive than Gun Fighting Technique.

However, he still needed to keep working on that.

He had to strive to change Lin Xiaojin's impression of him.

Moreover, the Divine Ability from Gambling Agreement 2, Immunity to All Poisons, would be obtainable after midnight tonight!

Qiao Yingzi, who was driving, looked straight ahead and said, "President Qin, are we going back to the company?"

Qin Ge shook his head, "Let's go to the manor. That letter I asked you to deliver—has it been delivered?"

Qiao Yingzi nodded, "It has been delivered."

Qin Ge opened the car window, extending half his palm to feel the cool breeze passing through his fingertips. Looking at the endless stream of skyscrapers outside, he said softly, "Have her come to the manor to see me!"
