Manipulative Harem God

Zhang Yuan's voice echoed with urgency, slicing through the tense air. "Zhang Wei, release her this instant! Or I'll command them to open fire!" Frustration etched lines on Zhang Yuan's face as the standoff intensified.

Amidst the chaotic scene, Zhang Wei chuckled omniously, confronting a barrage of aimed firearms. Mu Han's eyes widened in panic, gripped over Zhang Wei's shoulder like a like a rag—abnormally silent, pondering, 'Is this how my day ends? Held hostage by a lunatic?'

"Zhang Wei, can't you hear me!?" Zhang Yuan's voice pierced through the escalating tension.

Unfazed by Zhang Yuan's plea, Zhang Wei spoke with a smirk, addressing Mu Han, "Mu Han, isn't it? Didn't we establish that I would take the top spot on your consideration list once you opened for bookings?"

"What!?"

"Mu Han, what list is he blabbering about?" Zhang Yuan, taken aback, couldn't help but question, his incredulity etched across his face.

Zhang Wei's grin widened, "C'mon, Little Han, isn't it high time you spilled the beans on whatever games you were playing?"

In the tense silence that followed, Mu Han remained a picture of enigma.

"Zhang Wei, are you out of your mind? She clearly doesn't know anything! You've mistaken her for someone else," Zhang Yuan's frustration peaked, veins pulsating with disbelief.

Zhang Wei, undeterred and maintaining his calm demeanor, pointedly looked at Mu Han's legs hanging over his chest. "Why the silence, Mu Han? Time to spill the secrets, or should I do the talking for you?"

Caught in the crossfire of embarrassment and the unexpected turn of events, Mu Han stammered, "I... I have no idea what he's talking about."

Zhang Wei erupted into laughter, the sound echoing through the room. "Well then, let's enlighten eveyrone , shall we?"

!!

In a startling spectacle, Zhang Wei's hands rose, delivering a thunderous slap to her backside.

*Smack...*

The reverberation echoed like a gunshot, leaving Mu Han in wide-mouthed astonishment. The sound didn't just caress her ears; it echo in the air, imposing a heavy silence on the entire hall.

"Did he just slap the future lady of the Zhang Family?"

"Who dares such audacity?"

"What will the Young Master Zhang's response be?"

"Is he merely a voyuer while his woman faces such unjust treatment?"

"Could this woman be manipulating both of these men?"

The hushed whispers cut through the silence, as the hall became a breeding ground for speculative gossip, fueled by the prospect of a scandal in the affluent Zhang Family.

"My eyes are burning — What more could happen today?"

"And who exactly is this Zhang Wei?"

"Are they related?"

"No way! Could he be the abandoned prodigal son of the Zhang family, returning for vengeance?" One brave soul couldn't contain his thoughts, and his words exploded like a bomb, sending shockwaves through the crowd. Zhang Yuan's face flushed with a deep shade of embarrassment, as the implications of this information hit him.

Even he, the supposed master of the situation, was oblivious to this potential truth.

Doubt gnawed at him, questioning whether Zhang Wei harbored a hidden connection to his family.

The realization felt like a stinging slap across his face.

"Mu Han, are you finally going to reveal to everyone that the first seat in your heart was reserved for me or not?" Zhang Wei grinned, his smile reflecting the astonishment on the faces of the onlookers.

!!

Zhang Yuan, struck by a lightning bolt, questioned Mu Han with disbelief, "Is he speaking the truth?"

Mu Han, frustration etched on her face, began, "He is lyi—"

*Smack!*

"Ah!"

The sharp slap ran through the air, reverberating with the room's collective gasp.

Zhang Wei's laughter echoed, a disconcerting melody in the tense atmosphere. "So, you conveniently forgot to mention that you weren't open to a relationship and that, once you were, you'd come rushing to me directly?"

"What?" Mu Han's eyes widened in disbelief. "I never said I would come rushing to you!" Her protest carried a blend of speechlessness and disbelief.

Zhang Wei's smile broadened, successfully tricking her into digging her own grave.

Zhang Yuan's face darkened, mirroring the unease that swept through the room.

Wasn't this akin to an indirect admission of guilt?

"Mu Han, what exactly did you say to him? And how do you two even know each other?" His suspicion filled voice questioned Mu Han, signaling the guards to lower their guns.

Zhang Wei laughed, a sinister edge to his tone. "She won't tell. She's recently embraced her rebellious side and started weaving tales. Allow me to impart the importance of discipline in her life."

Zhang Yuan, "??"

Mu Han, ".. what the f—"

*Smack!*

!!

Mu Han's eyes shot wide open, her breath catching as another sharp slap landed on her backside. Even Zhang Yuan, bewildered, hesitated to intervene.

"C'mon, Mu Han, why don't you just accept it?" Zhang Wei's voice dripped with a sinister grin.

Mu Han's eyes closed in frustration as she took a deep breath. "Accept wha—"

*Smack!*

Mu Han snapped, "You!? Hit me one more time, and I—"

*Smack!*

Zhang Wei chuckled, his amusement growing. "Can you stop lying to everyone so openly? We both know you're perfectly incapable of hurting me. Look, you're not even resisting."

Mu Han clenched her fists, suppressing the urge to lash out and curse; this bastard had somehow restrained her with some weird technique!

*Smack!*

Zhang Wei's laughter filled the room. "C'mon, tell everyone how much you love me."

Mu Han's jaw tightened. "... I don't!"

*Smack!*

Zhang Wei's chuckle echoed. "So we didn't meet on the airplane? Remember, every lie gets you another spanking."

".." After a brief silence, Mu Han begrudgingly admitted, "We did."

*Smack!*

"Why spank me!? I didn't lie!" Mu Han protested, her voice sharp with disbelief.

Stunned by his audacity to slap her when she hadn't lied and had been completely honest, the room held its breath, the injustice unfolding before their eyes.

"You didn't lie, but you conveniently omitted the whole truth. We didn't just meet; you fell in love with me at first sight!" Zhang Wei revealed with a smirk.
