Manipulative Harem God



As Yu Lei spoke, a vivid picture formed in her mind—a life where Zhang Wei would always be there, waiting for her, whenever she returned home.

Zhang Wei, "..."

System, "..."

*Knock*

"Ah!" Yu Lei was snapped out of her fantasy by a knock on her head.

"That plan won't work. I can break the door!" Zhang Wei stated.

Yu Lei pouted at him, saying, "Of course, I know!"

How could she not know such a simple thing?

"I have a backup plan!" she proudly declared.

Zhang Wei felt the urge to tie her up and throw her into the store room or basement, but he managed to remain patient.

"Is this your last plan, or do you have more?" he asked.

"Last!" Yu Lei clarified.

She retrieved another item from the nightstand—a document that had been bothering Zhang Wei for a long time.

He raised his eyebrows as Yu Lei pulled it out of the envelope with a wide smile.

"See!" Yu Lei handed the paper to Zhang Wei.

He examined it and sighed at the end, finally grasping her plan.

"A resignation letter? You resigned?" he asked, wearing a helpless expression.

The document contained her resignation letter from the vice president position at the company.

Yu Lei pursed her lips and took the letter back. "I wanted to, but that bitch didn't allow me!"

Zhang Wei started to understand the situation. "Is that 'bitch' your boss?" he inquired.

"Oops!" Yu Lei quickly covered her mouth, making sure no one heard her curse.

"So, what really happened now?" Zhang Wei was more than curious to know the extent of the mess Yu Lei had created in her office that day.

Fortunately, this time she hadn't caused a major catastrophe.

Yu Lei, realizing she would rather spend most of her time with Zhang Wei, decided to take a bold step and submit her resignation.

As expected, her resignation was swiftly rejected.

It was understandable; no organization would readily accept the immediate resignation of a senior-level employee.

However, in a surprising turn of events, Lin Ruoxi, forced to find a compromise, suggested that Yu Lei could work remotely from home, only needing to come to the office in exceptional cases.

This granted Yu Lei the ultimate freedom to manage her time.

Though one could say that Yu Lei had somewhat blackmailed Lin Ruoxi into this arrangement, it was a clever maneuver on her part.

Zhang Wei couldn't help but wonder how Yu Lei mustered the courage to confront Lin Ruoxi directly and resort to blackmail.

Hadn't she been terrified of her before?

However, the determination gleaming in Yu Lei's eyes provided him with an answer, making it unnecessary to ask the question.

Even if he inquired, she would likely just say that - if it were him, then it would be an exception.

"See! I managed to resolve everything this time, and I didn't even need to bother you!" exclaimed Yu Lei with a triumphant smile.

"..."

"... Yes, wife. You are the best. Now come and give me a hug," Zhang Wei called out, his voice softening towards the end.

Though she couldn't see his face, Yu Lei could feel the warmth of his breath as he stood inches apart.

Little did she knew, Zhang Wei purposefully masked his expression from her, so that she can't see it.

If anything, Zhang Wei wanted to smack his head against the wall, frustrated by the mess he had found himself in.

He knew he had to fix it before it spiraled out of control.

Unaware that she had increased his troubles and not decreased them, Yu Lei leapt at once, her face brightening with a naïve smile.

She wrapped her arms around his waist, squeezing him tightly.

Zhang Wei sighed helplessly before saying, "I have a better plan," he suggested, trying to extricate himself from her embrace.

[Host, are you going to finally lock her up?] the system was curious about what Zhang Wei had actually cooked up in his mind.

Yu Lei was similarly curious.

She blinked her eyes while staring at him, almost childlike in her excitement.

However, her thinking was clear from the beginning: 'If the plan is from Zhang Wei, it is definitely better than the one made by her.'

She was willing to trust him, no matter what.

Next, there was a small session of brainwashing for Yu Lei.

Zhang Wei carefully chose his words, his voice soft yet persuasive as he elaborated on the numerous benefits of having multiple women.

He gesticulated with his hands as he spoke, emphasizing the points he felt were important.

The first benefit was undoubtedly age!

If both of them were to cultivate, they would undoubtedly live for a long, long time.

With such a long lifespan, the two of them alone would surely become bored to death.

One option was to have more men in the house, but that idea was unanimously rejected.

Another option was to have more women, ensuring that Yu Lei wouldn't be bored to death when Zhang Wei wasn't at home.

Since they wouldn't be normal humans anymore, thinking like normal humans was pointless.

Zhang Wei even went as far as explaining that although current laws only allow one wife, that restriction was primarily for women's protection.

If the original intent of the law was monogamy, there would be restrictions on multiple partners, which, in fact, did not exist.

If we remove marriage from the equation, there is nothing stopping a man from having a thousand partners.

Yu Lei appeared lost in thought, the corners of her mouth turned down as she remembered the events from today, while being in the house alone today, she actually felt the boredom of waiting for him for so long.

She thought it might be better to have someone to talk to instead of waiting idly for Zhang Wei to return home.

However, something remained unclear, and she voiced her confusion.

"Why would I ever get bored of you?" Yu Lei asked sincerely.

Zhang Wei sighed helplessly, his shoulders slumping as he realized that his words hadn't fully convinced her.

Maybe he should just bind her with ropes and throw her in some dark corner?

She detected the resignation in his sigh and felt a pang of guilt wash over her.

She thought her lack of understanding had disappointed him.

"I can't always be with you; there are matters outside that require my attention," explained Zhang Wei.

This time, his tone was serious, as he had a growing sense that he was entangled in situations far more powerful than his current level.

He had yet to consider how he would handle Feng Xinyue once she regained her power.

And what about that mysterious entity that could effortlessly retrieve the Book of Destiny from him?

Why hadn't the system provided any information about the Book of Destiny?

There were too many things that needed his attention.

"I think I finally get it..." Yu Lei muttered, her words barely audible.

Zhang Wei was taken aback, hoping she wouldn't pull something strange out again.

Sensing his suspicion, Yu Lei swiftly retrieved her phone and proceeded to showcase a multitude of comics and novels, one after another.

Her fingers flicked across the screen with excitement.

Zhang Wei's eyes widened in amazement as he was exposed to the truly bizarre and fantastical worlds depicted in some of the content.

Without hesitation, he grabbed her phone and instantly removed them from the library, starting with the vampire-themed ones that were unfortunate enough to get sacrificed first.

"Hey, no!" Yu Lei exclaimed, leaping towards him in a desperate attempt to reclaim her phone, but her efforts were in vain.

The demonic items had already been banished.

"You can still enjoy the others, but these are strictly off-limits," Zhang Wei asserted with a stern voice, his determination unwavering.

Yu Lei stood there, stunned, her lips pressed together in a pout of protest.

"Petty!" she protested.

Though she wanted to argue, she chose to remain silent.

Curiosity getting the better of him, Zhang Wei inquired, "What were you planning to show me, anyway?"

A sudden spark lit up Yu Lei's eyes as she swiftly navigated through a wuxia novel, presenting it to him with an air of anticipation.

"You want to seize control of the world, just like this Qin Tian character, don't you?" she asked, her voice filled with a sense of wonder, as if she wholeheartedly supported Zhang Wei's grand ambitions.

Although Zhang Wei couldn't fathom where she had acquired such a peculiar idea, he began reading a few pages and, in an instant, understood her intentions crystal clear.
