Chapter 75: Cruel Prince 24

When Feng Qitong saw the Second Prince, he merely glanced at him indifferently.

“So it’s Second Brother. Entering the palace this early... it seems something important has happened.”

The Second Prince smiled faintly.

“There is indeed something this subject wishes to report to Father Emperor.”

“Oh?” Feng Qitong replied casually. “Then wait until this prince and Wanwan finish greeting Father Emperor before making your report.”

The Second Prince’s expression stiffened slightly, becoming somewhat unpleasant.

What he wanted to report was the flooding disaster in the Jiangbei region.

Wasn’t that more important than the two of them entering the palace together?

A man like Feng Qitong, who clearly cared nothing for the people or the world, simply wasn’t worthy of being Crown Prince.

But the more arrogant and careless Feng Qitong behaved, the better it was for him.

Thinking this, the Second Prince quickly adjusted his expression and smiled gently again.

“Yes, Crown Prince Brother.”

Then he silently clenched his fists while watching Feng Qitong and Tang Wan leave side by side.

...

Tang Wan herself hadn’t expected Feng Qitong to completely abandon any pretense of brotherly affection in front of the Second Prince.

After secretly glancing at him, she couldn’t help asking internally:

“Little Cutie, do you have more hidden information about Feng Qitong?”

She increasingly felt that Feng Qitong concealed himself far too deeply.

Perhaps his so-called arrogance was merely a disguise.

Hearing this, the little cutie immediately replied:

“Of course there’s more information. But if I directly tell the host everything, wouldn’t that become boring? Please personally discover the villain’s shining points yourself!”

Tang Wan immediately twitched the corners of her mouth.

Tch.

If you don’t want to tell me, then just say so.

“Discover his shining points myself,” my foot!

If Feng Qitong weren’t ridiculously handsome and unexpectedly doting toward her, she definitely wouldn’t choose someone with such terrifying personality issues as her husband.

...

After arriving at the Imperial Study, the emperor immediately stepped forward the moment he saw Feng Qitong.

“Crown Prince, how are you feeling recently?” he asked quickly.

Hearing this, Feng Qitong immediately smiled.

“Father Emperor need not worry. Your son feels much better now.”

“Good! Very good!”

The emperor’s face instantly brightened with delight.

Then he looked toward Tang Wan with increasing satisfaction and motioned for her to rise without formalities.

After repeatedly praising Tang Wan warmly, the emperor rewarded her with yet another pile of treasures, leaving Tang Wan somewhat bewildered.

Seeing this, the little cutie chuckled.

“It seems your imperial father-in-law likes you very much! Dad finally feels relieved now.”

Tang Wan: “...Do you believe I’ll beat you to death?”

...

At that moment, Feng Qitong suddenly shifted the topic toward the Jiangbei floods.

“Father Emperor, can the disaster relief funds reach Jiangbei safely?” Feng Qitong asked.

Hearing this, the emperor’s expression immediately grew serious.

However, he quickly looked at Feng Qitong with deep gratification.

“General An has already been dispatched to Jiangbei.”

“This time, thanks to your early prediction of the floods, preparations were made in advance. Otherwise, if we had waited until after the floodwaters erupted like usual, countless people would have become displaced.”

Feng Qitong nodded calmly.

“That’s good. Since the rivers were dredged beforehand this time, the losses should be minimized considerably.”

“Exactly.” The emperor’s expression relaxed somewhat.

Then he waved his hand.

“Alright. Go greet your Mother Empress now.”

“Yes, this son takes his leave.”

“This daughter-in-law also takes her leave.”

...

After the two exited the Imperial Study, they saw the Second Prince still waiting outside.

Feng Qitong merely gave him a casual glance before directly leading Tang Wan toward the inner palace.

Watching them leave, the Second Prince’s hatred deepened further.

Feng Qitong...

Today you dismiss me completely, but one day, I’ll make you kneel before me and beg.

Only then did he enter the Imperial Study to report the flood situation.

Chapter 1: Got Dumped on the Day of the Wedding

 Translator's Note Before we begin—I'll just take a moment of your time! 🌸 I know this is a bit of a wall of text to encounter before the actual novel, so I'll keep it simple: please take a moment to read this first so you know what to expect from this translation. After this chapter, you can happily skip these notes unless there's something new I need to mention. I promise I won't make you read this before every chapter. 😂 I'm sharing this translation simply because I translated this novel for myself, enjoyed it, and thought that perhaps other readers with similar tastes might enjoy it too. I'm a huge fan of quick-transmigration (快穿) novels, especially the kind where the protagonist is already extremely capable—or becomes overpowered very quickly—and gets to go through different worlds, counterattack, face-slap, and generally make life difficult for people who deserve it. I usually don't gravitate toward QT novels that focus heavily on favorabi...

Chapter 2: Does It Matter If I Am Gay?

When the male makeup artist heard Tang Wan’s words, he was immediately stunned. The others around him looked at him with envy, wishing Tang Wan would casually point at them instead. That was five billion! After a while, the male makeup artist finally reacted. His face flushed red as he asked, “Is it okay if I’m gay?” “It doesn’t matter if you’re gay or anything else. As long as you hold a wedding with me, the five billion will be yours!” Tang Wan said. “I agree!” he replied excitedly, nodding desperately. Tang Wan snapped her fingers when she heard this. “Okay! You guys, hurry up and change his clothes and fix his styling!” Hah! Did they really think she absolutely had to marry Sun Wu? Three-legged toads were hard to find, but there were plenty of two-legged men in the world! ... Hearing Tang Wan’s words, the others immediately got busy, pressing the temporary groom into a chair while applying makeup and changing him into a suit. Half an hour later, Tang Wan wor...

Chapter 4: Diablo 1

Hearing this, Tang Wan immediately understood that this was a name given by the host, and the system had to accept it! Seeing this, she couldn’t help looking at Little Cutie dangerously. “Little Cutie, did you do that on purpose just now?” If she had agreed to call it the Daddy System, wouldn’t she have to call a little kid “Dad” forever? Hearing Tang Wan’s words, Little Cutie felt guilty for a second, but still said confidently: “I was originally called the Daddy System! I didn’t lie to you!” “I think it’s actually called the 88 System, right?” Tang Wan exposed him with a single glance. Upon hearing this, Little Cutie immediately stiffened his neck and said: “Yes! Doesn’t 88 sound like ‘Dad’?” Tang Wan was speechless. Did systems also play word games now? At that moment, Little Cutie was afraid Tang Wan would continue dwelling on the name issue, so he immediately urged: “Since the binding is complete, let’s head to the mission world now!” “Now entering the no...
