I Transmigrated Into a Villain and All the Heroines in This Novel Have Systems?

Chapter 4:

“Sit down and eat with me.”

Lin Chuan noticed Ning Wenrou standing there staring at him, which made him feel uncomfortable.

“I… I’m not hungry.”

Ning Wenrou shook her head in refusal. She had no interest in sitting down and eating with this hateful man.

“If I tell you to sit, you sit. Do you want me to give you a bad review?”

Lin Chuan had now found her weakness. As long as he threatened to give her a “bad review,” she would obey.

Ning Wenrou bit her lip but ultimately chose to sit across from him. Her task was already complete, so she didn’t have to care about his review. However, if she made him unhappy and he deliberately made trouble for her during future tasks, it would be a real headache.

“Why are you staring at me? Eat.”

Lin Chuan grabbed a piece of bread and stuffed it into her small mouth.

Ning Wenrou’s anger surged, but she didn’t dare show it. She had no choice but to lower her head and eat.

“You know how to drive, right?” Lin Chuan asked after eating a little, picking up a napkin to wipe his mouth.

“I have a license, but I’m not very good at driving,” Ning Wenrou answered honestly.

“It’s fine. The more you drive, the better you’ll get.” Lin Chuan leaned back in his chair. “Later, you’ll drive me to the antique market.”

“Antique market?” Ning Wenrou was stunned. “You’re really not going to propose to Miss Lu?”

Lin Chuan was already getting annoyed. “How many times do I have to tell you? Right now, I only want to focus on my career, not women.”

Seeing that he was displeased, Ning Wenrou didn’t dare to ask further. However, she couldn’t help but wonder—was he really planning to turn over a new leaf? The change was way too sudden.

Just as she was lost in thought, the landline in the living room suddenly rang.

The little maid hurried over to answer it, then turned back and called out, “Master, it’s Miss Lu on the phone.”

Lin Chuan was stunned.

Lu Chaoge?

She was calling him?

That didn’t fit the plot at all.

In the original novel, Lu Chaoge despised him. No matter how desperately he tried to win her over, she always kept her distance and never gave him a single kind word.

But now, this ice-cold beauty was actually calling him?

What was going on?

Even though he found it strange, he still got up and walked over.

Ning Wenrou found it amusing. This guy had just been saying he wanted to focus on his career, but the moment he heard Lu Chaoge was calling, he immediately showed his true colors.

If she guessed correctly, he was about to grovel and flatter Lu Chaoge, showering her with all kinds of cringeworthy sweet talk.

But Lin Chuan’s next move completely caught her off guard.

He didn’t even touch the phone. Instead, he plopped down on the sofa and picked up an orange from the fruit plate on the coffee table. Then, he casually ordered Ning Wenrou, “Put it on speaker.”

Ning Wenrou didn’t know what he was planning, but she followed his instructions and activated the speakerphone.

“Hello, Lin Chuan?” A woman’s voice came through from the other end. Though she was trying to lower her tone, she still gave off a cold and distant aura.

“It’s me. What do you want?” Lin Chuan propped his feet up on the coffee table and popped an orange segment into his mouth.

“You… are you free tonight?” Lu Chaoge seemed to have gathered her courage before asking the question.

“I’m not.” Lin Chuan didn’t even ask why she was calling. He cut her off directly.

Clearly, his response took Lu Chaoge by surprise. After a brief silence, she seemed to be gathering her thoughts.

After a moment, she continued, “Today is May 20th.”

“So?”

“Tonight… can we have dinner together?”

Ning Wenrou’s jaw nearly dropped in shock.

Lu Chaoge was one of the most famous cold-hearted CEOs in Zhonghai’s business world. She was always indifferent to everyone.

Especially toward someone like Lin Chuan—she utterly despised him.

And now, she was calling him and inviting him to dinner?

Strange things happened every day, but today was especially bizarre.

Lin Chuan hadn’t expected this either. Lu Chaoge taking the initiative?

This completely deviated from the original plot.

When something doesn’t follow the usual pattern, there’s definitely something fishy going on!

Just as he hesitated on how to respond, a system notification suddenly rang in his mind.

[God-Level Choice System Activating…]

[Choice 1: Accept Lu Chaoge’s invitation. Reward: 1 million cash. Lu Chaoge’s favorability -5.]

[Choice 2: Politely decline. Reward: 5 million cash. Lu Chaoge’s favorability -3.]

[Choice 3: Harshly reject and retaliate against Lu Chaoge. Reward: Master-Level ‘Antique Appraisal.’ Lu Chaoge’s favorability +1.]

Lin Chuan’s eyes lit up as he listened to the options.

Just moments ago, he had been wondering why, as a transmigrator, he hadn’t received any benefits.

Relying only on his knowledge of the original novel, surviving in this world would be difficult—let alone overturning his fate.

But as expected, the system had arrived, even if it was a little late.

Suppressing his excitement, he carefully analyzed the three choices.

At first, he suspected that the system had made a mistake.

Accepting her invitation would actually decrease her favorability?

And refusing her outright would increase it?

Was this cold CEO actually a secret masochist?

Ning Wenrou, watching Lin Chuan’s expression change after hearing Lu Chaoge’s invitation, became even more contemptuous.

So, he finally couldn’t keep up the act?

In the end, a simp is still a simp.

No matter how well he pretended, the truth would eventually come out.

Men, ugh!

Just as she expected him to eagerly accept Lu Chaoge’s invitation, she suddenly heard him sneer, “I already told you I’m not free. Do you not understand human language?”

Ning Wenrou almost dropped her jaw.

Her big eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Lin Chuan.

Was this still the perverted scumbag she knew?

He… actually rejected Lu Chaoge’s invitation?

And he did it so rudely?

Not just her, even Lu Chaoge seemed shocked. “You… you actually refused me?”

“So what if I refused? Am I not allowed to? Do you think inviting me to dinner is some kind of favor? Drop your arrogance. It doesn’t work on me!”

Lin Chuan fired back without hesitation, bombarding Lu Chaoge with sharp words.

Then, without giving her a chance to respond, he hung up the phone with a loud “bang.”

Satisfying!

So damn satisfying!

At the same time, the system notification chimed in.

[Congratulations, host, for completing Choice 3. System reward: Master-Level ‘Antique Appraisal.’ Lu Chaoge’s favorability +1.]

A flood of complex knowledge rushed into his mind, merging seamlessly with his consciousness.

It felt as if this knowledge had been with him all along.

When Lin Chuan opened his eyes again, the world suddenly looked different.

“Qing Dynasty Huanghuali official’s chair—genuine. Estimated value: 450,000 yuan…”

“Ming Dynasty cobalt blue incense burner and vase—genuine. Estimated value: 700,000 yuan…”

“Russian Ovchinnikov’s Snowy Mountain—genuine. Estimated value: 600,000 yuan…”

Before, he had simply thought the furniture and decorations in the villa looked nice.

But now, with Master-Level Antique Appraisal, he could see their true value.

It turned out the most valuable things in this house weren’t even the property itself, but these antiques and artifacts.

This was truly an eye-opening experience!
