I Became the Rich Second-Generation Villain – Chapter 147

Chapter 147: Secret Rendezvous?

When dealing with a woman like Cheng Rui, it was very difficult to gain her trust in three or two sentences.

She was too cautious.

When Wang Haoran chose her, he already knew that it would take time for her to warm up to him.

Cheng Rui was not the heroine, and Wang Haoran did not have the patience to win her over.

So, Wang Haoran directly decided to use the system.

The [Charm Halo] could only be used once every 72 hours, and he had already used it on Yang Jingwan three days ago.

He had planned to use it only on the heroine, but now that the cooldown time had arrived, he decided to use it on Cheng Rui.

Before arriving, Wang Haoran had never thought of using the [Charm Halo] on Cheng Rui.

Firstly, she was not a heroine, and secondly, she was someone else’s wife.

Wang Haoran wasn’t someone who had an interest in other’s wives. And, ultimately, had no interest in Cheng Rui.

Initially, Wang Haoran had planned to slowly gain control over Cheng Rui, pretending to cooperate.

However, Cheng Rui is ambitious, rational, and smart, but most importantly, she is ruthless to herself. Without using some special means, it was impossible to manipulate her into becoming a puppet.

Therefore, Wang Haoran decided to use the [Charm Halo].

After issuing instructions to the system, he used the [Charm Halo] on Cheng Rui, and her favourability towards him directly shot up to 100.

After getting the system’s prompt message, Wang Haoran watched as Cheng Rui’s expression changed.

Her pitiful pretty face suddenly showed a tender and intoxicated colour, but it was fleeting.

Wang Haoran was stunned, and then tentatively asked Cheng Rui, “Can we talk openly and honestly now?”

“My husband is still waiting for his meal. Please let me go, or he will be worried,” Cheng Rui replied.

Hearing this, Wang Haoran frowned.

Cheng Rui obviously did not want to talk and instead used Ma Hongsheng as a threat.

He wondered if the [Charm Halo] was fake, otherwise, why would Cheng Rui still have such an attitude?

Wang Haoran decided to let Cheng Rui leave first, but before opening the door, he used his [X-Ray Vision] to look outside.

At that moment, Ma Weicai, who had just come out of the bathroom, was walking towards the miscellaneous side and was about to pass by the storeroom to return to Ma Hongsheng’s ward.

Wang Haoran had an idea, so he opened the door and said directly to Cheng Rui, “I’m sorry, you can go.”

The corners of Cheng Rui’s mouth lifted slightly, seeming smug, and then she walked out of the storeroom. 

Wang Haoran also walked out following her.

“What were the both of you doing inside there?!” Ma Weicai, who was passing the door, saw Wang Haoran and Cheng Rui coming outside together and was surprised.

Cheng Rui’s face changed slightly, and she was about to explain, however…

“We weren’t doing anything. Don’t talk nonsense!” Wang Haoran interrupted impatiently, taking the first step and pretending to be alarmed.

Ma Weicai wasn’t very bright, but seeing this situation made him suddenly remember many things.

“Cheng Rui, oh Cheng Rui, the fox tail has finally been revealed. You’re actually having a secret rendezvous with a handsome guy behind my dad. You’re amazing!” Ma Weicai felt like he had caught a handle¹meaning he caught her having an affair. and was excited.

He turned his head to look at Wang Haoran, with an admiring gaze, “You’ve got some skills, actually being able to entice Cheng Rui!”

Feeling threatened by Cheng Rui, he had once sought all types of handsome men to use against her with the beauty trap.

Unfortunately, Cheng Rui was not at all susceptible to this.

Now seeing Wang Haoran and Cheng Rui appearing to be rendezvousing, he couldn’t help but admire him.

In his opinion, Wang Haoran had inadvertently helped him.

“You misunderstood. Cheng Rui and I just talked in the storeroom for a while. We didn’t do anything. We’re innocent,” Wang Haoran said as he walked up to Ma Weicai and patted him on the shoulder.

Ma Weicai only felt a mosquito bite on his shoulder, but he didn’t pay attention to it because his attention was on Wang Haoran’s words. 

In his opinion, Wang Haoran was anxious to clear the relationship, which was more proof that there was something between him and Cheng Rui.

“I believe you, but I don’t know if my father will believe it,” Ma Weicai said with a smile as he walked towards the ward.

Cheng Rui saw Ma Weicai walking towards the ward to complain and started to lose control of her emotions.

“Are you crazy? Obviously, nothing happened, but you deliberately explained it, and now it’s getting worse. If Hongsheng really believes it, then you’re in trouble!” she said, rushing towards Wang Haoran.

Wang Haoran’s heart skipped a beat as he looked at Cheng Rui.

Although she was reprimanding him, her words showed concern, not blaming him for giving her trouble, but worrying about his safety.

Could Cheng Rui really be a kind person? Was she concerned about Wang Haoran out of kindness?

This was certainly not possible. It seemed that it wasn’t that 100 Favourability was useless, Cheng Rui was just good at controlling her emotions.

“Are you worried about me?”

Although Wang Haoran isn’t interested in other’s wives, but in order to suppress the strength of the War God’s camp, he can only reluctantly flirt with Cheng Rui.

“Hell no. You asked for it. You deserve to die!” Cheng Rui sneered and walked away towards Ma Hong Sheng’s ward.

Wang Haoran couldn’t help but laugh.

‘This woman didn’t admit it with her mouth, but her actions were still quite honest.’

With that thought, Wang Haoran slowly and leisurely walked towards the ward, not at all anxious.

The reason why he deliberately gave Ma Weicai a handle was just to force Cheng Rui to cooperate with him.

As for whether this will anger Ma Hongsheng, he doesn’t care at all.

As a hardcore supporting role in the War God’s camp, the possibility of Ma Hongsheng being won over was very small.

In Wang Haoran’s plan, Ma Hongsheng will sooner or later “run into trouble.”

Otherwise, how can Ma Hongsheng’s assets legitimately end up in Cheng Rui’s hands?

[Inside the Ward]

“What did you say? You saw Rui and the son of President Zhen having a secret rendezvous?!”

Ma Hongsheng was slightly shocked after hearing Ma Weicai’s account.

“It’s absolutely true. I saw them coming out of the storeroom with my own eyes!” Ma Weicai said with spittle flying.

When Zhen Li heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

In her opinion, her son is so outstanding that he can get any woman he wants. If he wanted to hook up with Cheng Rui, it wouldn’t be impossible.

‘After all, that Cheng Rui is quite pretty.’

‘However, if it’s true, then there will be big trouble.’

Ma Hongsheng appeared calm but wrinkled his brow, not immediately responding to anything.

He was a relatively rational person and wouldn’t suspect Cheng Rui just because of Ma Weicai’s few words.
