The Rolls-Royce Phantom headed to a pre-arranged five-star hotel in the city center.
12 noon.
He Qinzhou and Mu Yuxin arrived at the hotel on time.
Led by customer service staff, we entered the room.
Inside the room sat a well-dressed man with a shiny slicked-back appearance.
If Li Qingqing were present, she would definitely recognize this man; he was none other than Zhang Hu, He Qinzhou's most loyal and closest subordinate.
This is He Qinzhou's plan.
Using the He family's resources, they bribed people in relevant departments to deceive Mu Yuxin, falsely claiming that the land had been reclaimed by the government, causing her to panic.
Then, at the opportune moment, I would appear and tell her that I knew someone who might be able to help her.
He had his subordinates play the role and stage a play to lure Mu Yuxin to this luxurious five-star hotel.
The innocent and kind-hearted Mu Yuxin had no idea about these things and could only believe He Qinzhou's words in a daze.
"Minister Zhang, I'm so sorry, the traffic jam made you wait so long."
He Qinzhou smiled broadly, walked up to Zhang Hu, shook hands with him, and said loudly.
He then pretended to introduce Mu Yuxin, who had followed him, to Zhang Hu, "Minister Zhang, this is Ms. Mu Yuxin. She is the one who opened a noodle shop on the land that was recently expropriated by the government. She has something to ask of you. She heard that we have met a few times, so she came with me."
Zhang Hu then looked at Mu Yuxin's face and body.
No wonder the young master has taken a liking to her; she is certainly not comparable to those ordinary women on the street.
"Miss Mu, hello, may I ask what brings you here?" Zhang Hu gave a professional, fake smile, looking at Mu Yuxin with suspicion.
Looking at Zhang Hu, who was dressed like a successful person, Mu Yuxin had no doubts about his identity.
So he subtly cast a grateful glance at He Qinzhou.
Then she took a deep breath, raised the corners of her mouth, and a captivating smile appeared on her flawless face, so charming that it stunned the two men present.
"Minister Zhang, hello. That piece of land is full of memories for me, so it's very important. I hope you have any way to avoid taking back the land, or perhaps you can bring it back to my hands?"
A light and melodious voice rang out, like the sounds of nature.
Mu Yuxin's words immediately brought Zhang Hu back to his senses. He pretended to be deep in thought, then a conflicted look appeared on his face. "Miss Mu's request is a bit too difficult for me."
"Please, Minister Zhang," Mu Yuxin pleaded, her voice tinged with panic.
Receiving a subtle glance from He Qinzhou, Zhang Hu leaned forward slightly, getting closer to the two of them, and whispered as if telling a secret.
"We will hold a bidding event at this hotel in three days to re-determine the land use rights."
Zhang Hu revealed a meaningful smile and continued.
"For Young Master He's sake, I can take it upon myself to decide that you will be the pre-selected person, but you must successfully enter the hotel venue on that day to participate in the land bidding activity."
"Only in this way can we avoid being criticized."
Upon hearing this, Mu Yuxin frowned, looking somewhat troubled.
She was just an ordinary woman with no opportunity to meet people at the top of the social pyramid.
Naturally, they couldn't successfully enter the event venue.
Just as Mu Yuxin was about to bitterly ask Zhang Hu if there were any other solutions, she caught a glimpse of He Qinzhou standing silently to the side, listening to the two of them talking.
Her gloom instantly vanished, and she became happy.
Yes, Young Master He is undoubtedly wealthy and influential. Since he knows Minister Zhang, he shouldn't have any problem getting into a bidding event venue.
Thinking of this, Mu Yuxin quickly asked Zhang Hu, her tone filled with urgency and curiosity, "Minister Zhang, is there a rule about how many people an invited family can bring to participate in the bidding activity?"
"If there's no limit to the number of people, could I trouble you, Young Master He, to take me in? With your status, you're certainly qualified to participate in this kind of event."
Upon hearing Mu Yuxin's speech, He Qinzhou, who was standing to the side, subtly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a wicked smile.
Ah, they've taken the bait.
Zhang Hu was not particularly surprised by this, and continued to say, "Of course Young Master He can enter the venue. He is the eldest son of the He family, one of the four great families in the country. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is the most distinguished person in the entire venue."
Mu Yuxin had thought that He Qinzhou's status was very prestigious, but she never imagined it would be this prestigious!
Just as he was about to speak, Zhang Hu interrupted him, saying, "Although there is no limit to the number of families that can enter the venue, there is one important condition: they must be members of that family. If they are just friends, no matter how close they are, it won't work."
"In other words, unless you are a member of the He family, there is basically no way to get in."
Mu Yuxin, who had initially felt a little smug, felt as if she had sunk to the bottom of an abyss after hearing these words.
Her pretty face showed undisguised disappointment and sadness.
How could I possibly be a member of the He family!
Seeing Mu Yuxin's pretty face, which showed an unpredictable mood, he secretly gave Zhang Hu a thumbs up; her performance was excellent.
At that moment, his voice rang out, instantly breaking the brief silence in the room.
“I have an idea.” After a pause, he looked at Mu Yuxin deeply and continued, “We can pretend to be husband and wife, then you will be the daughter-in-law of the He family and naturally belong to the He family.”
Mu Yuxin was deeply shocked by He Qinzhou's words. A wave of shame and anger surged into her heart. Just as she was about to refuse, she thought of the noodle shop that her father had left her.
She fell into deep thought, her mind constantly engaged in a battle of wits.
It's okay, it's just pretending to be a couple. Once things are resolved, this relationship will naturally end.
No! I can't do this! It would be unfaithful to my future husband!
Mu Yuxin, you're so stupid. Is the noodle shop your father left you more important, or your future husband who may never even appear?
Why not just marry Young Master He? With his status and looks, you're practically marrying above your station!
Mu Yuxin's constantly changing expressions did not escape He Qinzhou's notice, and he revealed a mocking look.
After a brief silence, Mu Yuxin raised her head, looked deeply at He Qinzhou with her large, almond-shaped eyes, and slowly spoke.
“Okay…I agree. We…we’ll pretend to be a couple until the bidding ends.”
These words seemed to drain all of Mu Yuxin's strength, while at the same time, she felt a mixture of shame and anticipation.

Chapter 18: Bringing Yuxin Home
"Now that you've made the decision, I'll have to trouble Yuxin to move into my house from now on."
He Qinzhou gave a helpless smile.
"Move to your house? Why?" Mu Yuxin frowned slightly, asking with a strange and puzzled expression.
At this moment, Zhang Hu, who was standing to the side, spoke up to explain, "Because three days before the bidding activity begins, the government will send some people to secretly monitor the families participating in the bidding activity to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation and causing dissatisfaction among other families."
He Qinzhou then picked up where Zhang Hu left off and continued speaking.
"So if you want to pretend, you have to pretend properly. If you want to enter the venue as a member of the He family, Miss Mu will have to stay at my house for a few days."
Mu Yuxin frowned, somewhat puzzled, but unable to figure it out, she could only sigh helplessly and nod, "Okay."
He Qinzhou smiled inwardly, realizing he had been tricked.
Having reached a conclusion, the three hastily finished their lunch in the room and then left the hotel.
Of course, as they left the hotel room, He Qinzhou needed to pretend to be a little intimate, citing the need to avoid being monitored.
So he reached out and put his arm around Mu Yuxin's slender waist.
Mu Yuxin was helpless about this. A blush spread across her pretty face, and she lowered her head shyly, walking on without saying a word.
Only after returning to the car did He Qinzhou release his large hand from the beauty, sit a distance away from her, close his eyes and pretend to sleep, no longer looking at her.
Feeling nervous and at a loss, Mu Yuxin kept stealing glances at He Qinzhou, a hint of confusion flashing through her mind.
Did he really put his arm around my waist just to help me?
Although he certainly has no shortage of women around him, I shouldn't be that bad off, so why doesn't he even glance at me?
He Qinzhou had no idea what Mu Yuxin was thinking at that moment. He closed his eyes to pretend he was sleeping, but in reality he was immersed in the system and browsing the system store.
Looking at the numerous items in the mall, He Qinzhou couldn't help but start making plans.
It's been almost a week since I transmigrated into this world made up of many urban novels. It seems I still need to find other female protagonists and earn more corruption points, otherwise, when Tang Shuai appears, he will be too difficult to deal with.
While the two were preoccupied with their own thoughts, the Rolls-Royce Phantom had unknowingly arrived at King's Landing.
As soon as she got out of the car, Mu Yuxin was stunned by the grand and luxurious villa.
He Qinzhou glanced at the woman's stunned expression, pursed his lips slightly, raised an eyebrow, and directly reached out to put his arm around her waist. "Let's go, I'll show you around."
Feeling the hot, large hand on her waist, Mu Yuxin's face flushed red again. She felt a little embarrassed and annoyed, and twisted her body, trying to remove the large hand from her.
"Don't do this... I can walk by myself."
Seeing the woman's blushing and adorable appearance, He Qinzhou revealed a playful smile.
His large hand traced along the woman's curvaceous figure, gradually moving down to her firm, plump buttocks, and gave her a slap. "Yuxin, you're being naughty. We're husband and wife now."
Having never been touched by a man before, Mu Yuxin was violated for the first time today, which made her even more furious. "Let me go! We agreed to be a fake couple. How could you... hit me there?"
That scoundrel!
How dare she take advantage of herself!
I really misjudged him. I just thought he was different from other men!
Ugh! I'm so angry!
"What does it matter? This makes it more authentic, and the inspectors will be even less likely to suspect anything." He Qinzhou shrugged, revealing an indifferent expression.
"Nonsense! If you don't get your filthy hands off me, I'm leaving right now." A pair of beautiful eyes, tinged with a hint of shame, glared at He Qinzhou.
"Alright, alright." He Qinzhou had no choice but to let go of Mu Yuxin's shapely buttocks and pursed his lips.

The two of them had already stepped into the living room while "playing around".
At this moment, a woman wearing a blue silk slip dress was sitting on the sofa in the living room. Her two long, beautiful legs were curled up on the sofa, and her pointed chin was resting on her knees. This woman was naturally Li Qingqing.
Upon hearing footsteps and He Qinzhou's voice, Li Qingqing, who was engrossed in watching television, immediately turned around and looked towards the door.
When she saw that it was indeed the person she had been longing for, Li Qingqing stopped paying attention to the drama she was watching on TV.
She slipped on her slippers, ran to He Qinzhou, threw herself into his arms, and inhaled the captivating scent of him.
He Qinzhou opened his arms and caught Li Qingqing who was rushing towards him. He held her slender waist tightly with both hands and gently kissed her fragrant lips.
Then, with a mischievous grin, he leaned close to the beauty's ear, gently biting her delicate earlobe, and said as if telling a secret, "Baby, we have a guest coming to our house today. Is it really okay for you to be so unrestrained in front of a guest?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qingqing, whose head was buried in He Qinzhou's chest, finally raised her head and looked behind him.
Immediately, her eyes narrowed into slits as she sized up the beautiful woman in front of her, whose looks and figure were in no way inferior to her own.
A strong sense of crisis surged into my heart.
As Li Qingqing's gaze fell upon them, Mu Yuxin, who had been blushing with embarrassment at the sight of He Qinzhou and his wife showing affection, seemed to have a sudden realization and also turned her gaze in that direction.
I was shocked by the woman's appearance and figure!
Although Mu Yuxin was very confident in her looks and figure, she couldn't help but feel a sense of envy and amazement when she saw the woman in front of her!
However, perhaps it's a woman's intuition.
Mu Yuxin sensed strong hostility in the other person's eyes, which made her both confused and angry.
I didn't do anything, so why are you looking at me with such hostility!
Their two beautiful eyes clashed several times without them even realizing it.
He Qinzhou was unaware of all of this.
He patted Li Qingqing's shapely buttocks and said to himself, "Qingqing, let me introduce you. Her name is Mu Yuxin. She will be staying at our house for the next three days. As for the reason, it's a bit complicated. I'll tell you tonight."
Hearing He Qinzhou's words, Li Qingqing was a little surprised. So she was Mu Yuxin. She was so beautiful. No wonder her husband cared about her so much.
Although she was a little jealous, Li Qingqing wasn't an unreasonable woman, so she smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Li Qingqing."
Seeing the other person's face change so quickly, Mu Yuxin felt somewhat helpless and could only nod slightly to say hello.
"Let's go inside and sit down to chat."
He Qinzhou extended an invitation, then put his arm around Li Qingqing's shoulder and walked straight into the living room.
