After being reborn, I became a top-tier celebrity by resetting my game history.

Chapter 216 What to do when the villain makes empty promises to her?

Su Qi got into Zheng Ran's car, wanting to see what new tricks Zheng Ran would come up with to pursue her.

Zheng Ran felt very happy just thinking about how Shen Chaohuai had been humiliated.

"I knew it. Shen Chaohuai was just a fling for you." Zheng Ran said with a smile as he drove.

A few minutes earlier, Shen Chaohuai said angrily, "No, you can't go out with him alone! Either I go with you guys!"

Su Qi paused for a moment: "What are you going there for? To be a background character?"

Shen Chaohuai was so angry he was jumping up and down, but he didn't dare to do anything.

"By the way, how did you do that? Shen Chaohuai is so obedient to you," Zheng Ran asked.

Su Qi looked at him, as if saying something trivial: "He loves me, willingly."

“If you really love me, you can learn from him, and you can even listen to me more than he does.”

Su Qi was clearly using PUA tactics, and Zheng Ran wasn't stupid; she could sense it. However, hearing her say that, she couldn't help but want to submit.

For some reason, he increasingly wanted to have her as soon as possible.

The car stopped by the beach. Zheng Ran turned his head and went over to unbuckle her seatbelt. As he got close, he leaned down and almost kissed her.

Su Qi put her hand in front of her and said, "Mr. Zheng, please don't overstep your bounds. I have not agreed to our relationship."

"I'm sorry, I just... couldn't help myself." Zheng Ran smiled at her.

Upon entering the beach, Su Qi sat down on the spot, took off her sunglasses and placed them beside her, then gently brushed her hair back with her hand.

"I don't have much time to spend with you, so take me home before the sun goes down."

Zheng Ran looked surprised, but quickly recovered and grabbed Su Qi's hand, pleading, "But I booked a seaside hotel, and I can't cancel the reservation."

"I didn't ask you to book a hotel. Besides, given our current relationship, you can come and go from hotel as you please. What do you take me for?" Su Qi deliberately made things difficult for him.

"I'm sorry, I didn't consider your feelings."

“Yeah, I’m used to it. Anyway, you only ever think about your own feelings,” Su Qi said again.

Zheng Ran felt uneasy after hearing this, and pursed his lips, saying, "Alright then, whatever you want to do, I'll do as you say."

After hearing this, Su Qi smiled smugly.

She enjoys taming those in positions of power, making them suffer and bow their heads; for Su Qi, it's just a game.

She wouldn't let someone she truly cares about be treated so humbly.

"By the way, when will the dissolution of your engagement with Shen Qingyue take place?"

Zheng Ran said calmly, "Her family is no longer of any use to me, so I can announce the termination of the contract now."

After saying that, he took out his phone and opened his blog.

Does a unilateral termination count?

"The marriage agreement with the Shen family was just a piece of paper back then. I'll personally hand it to you to tear up when we get back."

@Zheng Ran: Shen Qingyue has been released from prison. I have fulfilled my duty to take care of her. From today onwards, the marriage agreement between the Shen and Zheng families is dissolved.

【? ? ? 】

[So sudden? I knew Zheng Ran's reluctance to break off the engagement was probably just to protect Shen Qingyue.]

[Waaaaah, this sister-in-law is so kind! She even considered that Shen Qingyue wasn't treated well in prison and chose to keep her identity.]

Su Qi didn't know what to say. He really was ruthless. He wanted to get her, so he used any means necessary, even without caring about his reputation.

However, given the current situation, no one knows what kind of person Zheng Ran is in private, so people will naturally say that he is kind-hearted.

Only Su Qi knew how convincingly the man in front of her was putting on an act.

Su Qi deliberately went up to him and said, "Thank you."

Zheng Ran instinctively hugged her, feeling her trembling slightly: "You still reject me."

"Do you really hate me that much now?" He lowered his eyes, his expression full of disappointment.

"Once a person's heart is dead, it's very difficult to warm it up no matter what you do," she said.

"Aren't you even willing to give them the slightest chance?"

“I have already dissolved our engagement. According to the principle of property division, I will compensate her with a house, and that will be the end of our relationship.”

Su Qi paused for a moment: "I remember all the harm you caused me."

"You take advantage of the jealousy and competition among female celebrities in the industry to trip me up at every turn. Do you dare say you love me?"

Zheng Ran's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he looked at her, utterly embarrassed. "I was irrational back then. I wanted to get your attention this way. I was an idiot."

After saying that, Zheng Ran slapped himself. Su Qi never expected him to do that.

"I love you. What do I have to do for you to agree to let us start over?"

Su Qi smiled and said, "I'm a female celebrity, and my career is on the rise. It's impossible for me to go public with you. We've been in a secret relationship for six or seven years. You shouldn't mind, right?"

Zheng Ran paused for a few seconds, seemingly a little bothered, but still said, "It's okay."

When a man desires a woman, he will say all sorts of nice things at the beginning, but once he gets her, he will change his attitude.

Su Qi shook his head and laughed, "Impossible. You have the ability to make our relationship public. Whether you want to ruin my career or make me a parasite so that I can't get resources, you can do it."

“I have no reason to do that,” he said.

“You do. Once a woman loses the ability to survive on her own, she will try to seek protection from the man around her. You must really want to raise me into that kind of woman, so that I can stay by your side for the rest of my life and be controlled by you.”

Zheng Ran was speechless. She was too clear-headed now; nothing could fool her.

He gritted his teeth and slowly raised his eyes: "Xiao Qi, I... I can spend money to promote you. You can terminate your contract with Tianhai, and I can help you pay the penalty for breach of contract."

"Once you join my company, you'll be number one, and all resources will be directed towards you."

"Hmm? Is that so? You could have done that earlier, but you insisted on watching me go to Tianhai." Su Qi shook his head helplessly.

"I was just... being stubborn with you."

"Alright, let's not talk about the past."

"You like your current career and you want to make money; I can help you."

"If you're with me, I can give you as much money and as many houses as you want."

Wow, Master, your pie-in-the-sky promises are amazing! I almost ate them myself.

Su Qi patted Zheng Ran's shoulder lightly, turned around and went back to the car: "Then I'll definitely think about it carefully when I get back."

"You agreed?" he asked, surprised.

"Think carefully about how to punish you."

Zheng Ran was taken aback: "I've already shown this much sincerity, and you still don't want to?!"

"I deliberately gave you hope only to crush it, so what?" Su Qi tightened his grip on the cigarette butt, lit it, and took a deep drag.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his clenched fists trembled violently.

The next second, he pressed down on Su Qi, pinning her to the beach.

The waves washed over her toes, the burning cigarette butt was extinguished, and he bent down to kiss her neck...
