Chapter 219
After a moment’s thought, Jian Fan opened the voice-message function and recorded, “Little Princess, you’re very beautiful.”
He released the button and sent it.
The other end of the tablet remained silent for a long time.
Qin Nan sighed and patted Jian Fan’s shoulder. “That was much too perfunctory. Even Qin Weiyi tried harder–at least he added that he wanted a kiss. You…”
Qin Nan was about to continue and impart some of his own experience when the tablet chimed with a new message.
He fell silent at the shy sticker Little Princess had sent.
He understood now. In the end, this world still judged people by their faces.
Another message arrived from Little Princess.
“You’re very handsome too.”
Standing beside Jian Fan, Qin Nan responded with two cold, mocking laughs.
Lin Junruo’s intelligence suddenly returned. She immediately called out, “Little Princess, look how handsome Jian Fan is! If he gets erased, where will you ever find another man who’s this good-looking, this smart, and this devoted? You have to coexist with us!”
Jian Fan choked.
He silently handed the tablet to Lin Junruo.
She had intended to type, but that seemed too troublesome, so she simply initiated a voice call.
To her surprise, the call actually connected…
The instant it did, Lin Junruo began. “Think about it, Little Princess. If you want a handsome man to look at, there’s Jian Fan. If you want to shop or share secrets, you have me and Mu Xin. If you’re in danger or need someone to fight, we have Lu Jing! And if you’re unhappy, Qin Nan can play with you and cheer you up.”
“Mm…” Little Princess still sounded hesitant.
Lin Junruo pressed on. “And Jian Fan isn’t our only handsome man. Qin Nan is good-looking too. Then there’s Qin Weiyi–he’s adorable, and he’ll definitely make the perfect cute younger boyfriend one day.”
Qin Weiyi: “???”
What was she talking about?
Lin Junruo continued. “And look, Shi Chen isn’t bad. He may not be as handsome as Jian Fan or Qin Nan, but at least his name sounds like it belongs in a novel.”
Shi Chen: “???”
Perhaps she should think before speaking?
“And if you don’t like awful men, we have women too!” Lin Junruo pointed the tablet at Yang Zhen. “The cool, mature type. She’d definitely make you feel safe.”
Yang Zhen: “???”
She was attracted to men, thank you very much.
Lin Junruo turned the tablet toward Mu Xin. “The delicate, pitiful type.”
Mu Xin’s face remained expressionless.
Finally, Lin Junruo aimed it at herself and bashfully brushed back her bangs. “And if you like my type, Little Princess, I’m available too.”
Everyone: “…”
There was really no need to go that far.
Lin Junruo’s pitch left Little Princess dazed.
“Uh… then maybe I’ll think about it?” Little Princess seemed to be wavering.
“What’s there to think about? This is an offer you can’t afford to miss. You’ll have to accept us sooner or later, so why not start enjoying us now?”
Everyone: “…”
“That makes a lot of sense,” Little Princess said quietly.
“Of course it does!” Lin Junruo laughed. “So what do you say, Little Princess? Peaceful coexistence?”
Little Princess laughed. “I suppose it’s possible.”
Everyone instantly perked up and crowded around Lin Junruo.
“I can give you control of my body for one hour. During that hour, you must finish everything I want done.” Little Princess’s voice abruptly became grave and cold.
That manner of speaking…
This wasn’t Little Princess. It was the later, career-focused Queen Personality.
At some point, Little Princess had switched to the Queen Personality.
Yet the shocking part wasn’t the transition between personalities. It was her demand.
What Little Princess wanted done–could it be revenge?
They couldn’t decide what shocked them more: that Little Princess had not yet taken revenge, or that she expected them to accomplish it in one hour. Wasn’t that simply toying with them? Lin Junruo had thought her negotiating skills might earn her great credit this time, but instead…
“Agreed,” Jian Fan suddenly said.
Lin Junruo stared at him in astonishment.
Jian Fan had accepted an almost impossible task?
Everyone else turned toward him too.
“You have a plan?” Qin Weiyi asked, surprised.
Jian Fan shook his head.
“Then why did you agree?” Qin Nan exclaimed.
Jian Fan paused. “If we fail, we’ll find another way to persuade her.”
Understanding dawned, and everyone found his reasoning exceptionally sound.
So what if the task was impossible? If they succeeded, they benefited. If they failed, they merely returned to the beginning and had to spend more effort negotiating with Little Princess.
Little Princess: “???”
“You’re certainly bold,” she said with a cold laugh.
Jian Fan replied, “Are you complimenting yourself?”
Little Princess paused, then laughed, her voice instantly turning sweet. “You’re so charming, handsome.”
Well.
An instant switch.
“What do you want us to do?” Jian Fan returned to the subject.
There was a long silence before Little Princess answered. “I want revenge. I want them to pay the same price. But their families are not responsible, so I don’t need their lives.”
Jian Fan understood.
In simple terms, Little Princess had two demands. First, bankrupt the families of the five supposed male leads. Second, kill the five men–preferably by reproducing her parents’ deaths and kicking them off a building.
Jian Fan thought briefly, and a plan quickly formed.
“I need to know your current relationship with them,” he said.
Little Princess paused. “I hypnotized them. Unfortunately, my abilities are limited. I could only make them believe they had feelings for me, not make them forget what they did. Because of what happened to my parents, they remain wary of me even while seeing me.”
Her hypnosis made the five men believe they loved her, drawing them back into contact. But because Little Princess lacked the skill to erase their memories, they still remembered their crimes and feared her revenge. Naturally, they remained vigilant around such a dangerous person.
That meant she couldn’t access the secrets of their family companies and had no way to bankrupt them.
She could probably kill the men, but that alone clearly would not satisfy her.
Little Princess sounded discouraged by the situation.
Jian Fan, however, smiled. “The circumstances aren’t bad.”
Little Princess froze. “You can’t really do it in one hour, can you?”
Instead of answering, Jian Fan asked, “Do they need to die by suicide, or can we use your body to kill them directly?”
Everyone: “???”
