LLASBWUH Chapter 8

A dark, shadowy light flickered in Gu Cheng’s eyes.

To him, these people were as insignificant as ants.

But right now, he was in Ning Yi’s body.

The spotlight followed, casting a slender and ethereal figure, whose beauty seemed almost detached from reality.

The wealthy socialites covered their mouths with mocking smiles.

“She can’t dance, can she?”

“If she can’t dance, maybe she could perform something else.”

“She doesn’t have any talent at all, does she? No way, right?”

Gu Cheng let out a low chuckle.

Could he ever let his wife be embarrassed?

The night might have been filled with turbulence—

But none of it had anything to do with Ning Yi!

She had eaten well, drank to her heart’s content, and slept soundly. When she woke up the next morning and checked her phone after returning to her own body, she was surprised to see that the name “Ning Yi” was trending.

Online, there were two main hashtags about her: #GreenDressSisterIsSoBeautiful and #SisterIsSoTalentedLoveItLoveIt!

The first was a candid photo taken at the hotel entrance, and the second was a video from the banquet hall.

Curious, Ning Yi clicked on the latter and discovered that after she had switched back to sleep, Ding Ziyue had actually called Gu Cheng out to perform a dance.

Ning Yi almost burst out laughing.

In the video, “Ning Yi” stood under the spotlight, her expression cold as she surveyed the entire banquet hall, exuding a chilling, indifferent aura that seemed to look down on everything.

Facing a crowd that was clearly waiting for her to make a fool of herself, “she” calmly took the microphone and began directing the foreign band hired by the Ding family with ease, speaking in English, French, and German.

Finally, “she” led them in playing a simple children’s song, performing it flawlessly before coolly exiting the stage.

The video’s comments were already blowing up:

【Whoa, this sister has a mix of both beauty and handsomeness!!!】

【Ahhh! Who needs to see dancing or singing with talent like this?!】

Ning Yi spotted Ding Ziyue, frozen and stiff-faced in the corner of the video, and nearly died laughing.

What happened to your light, huh?

After closing the video, Ning Yi called out to the big shot, “Wow, darling, you were amazing! You really made me look good yesterday!”

Gu Cheng smiled faintly. “Is that so?”

Ning Yi had never experienced being carried by a big shot like this before, and the more she thought about it, the more enjoyable it seemed.

But if she had been there herself, she could have handled things just as well.

“Darling, darling,” Ning Yi said excitedly, “I know three foreign languages too!”

“Oh?” Gu Cheng raised an eyebrow slightly.

Since their body swap, he had learned about Ning Yi’s background and situation from what others had said. Given her upbringing, it must not have been easy for her to learn foreign languages.

Gu Cheng asked, “Which three languages does Ah Yi know?”

Ning Yi enthusiastically replied:

“Meow meow meow.”

“Squeak squeak squeak.”

And “Hiss hiss hiss—”

Gu Cheng was speechless for a moment.

The first two could be understood, but “What’s the third one?”

Ning Yi answered very seriously, “It’s zombie language.”

Gu Cheng: “?”

Is she okay?

After the heroine’s welcome banquet, the circle of wealthy socialites indeed entered the public eye, with netizens everywhere looking for gossip.

This was also where Ning Yi saw a business opportunity tailored to this mindless romance novel world!

Zhao Weining had added her on WeChat after the banquet and then pulled her into a programmer’s group chat, where they were all buddies working on the internet product together.

【Hello, Big Sis!】

【Hello, Sis!!】

【Welcome, gorilla beating chest.jpg】

Ning Yi waved kindly: 【Hello, everyone】

With Ning Yi’s overwhelming technical guidance, the platform was built at lightning speed and had already entered product testing. The front end needed to ensure user experience across all terminals, maintain stability and smoothness during high concurrency, establish a robust user feedback mechanism, embed tracking codes, and so on.

Ning Yi named the platform “CMore,” implying “See More.”

The target audience was the lives of wealthy young masters and heiresses, allowing ordinary users to follow and interact with them, creating social mobility and offering a stage for those seeking fame and attention. The commercial potential here was enormous, something even Gu Cheng would find interesting.

Ning Yi personally crafted the platform, making sure the pages were clean and aesthetically pleasing. The internal testing was incredibly smooth, and the programmers were thrilled.

No splash ads, no pop-ups selling pimple cream, hair loss solutions, or coloured contact lenses—the user experience was superb, perfectly aligned with current youth preferences!

To ensure the platform’s successful launch and attract more users, promotion was essential.

For this, Ning Yi had no scruples—

What better way to ride the heroine’s spotlight and use it as a target for traffic?

She simply paid to acquire the images and footage from the reporters hired by the Ding family.

#RealAndFakeHeiressSideBySide#

#WealthySiblingsEatingTogether#

#SocialiteDanceWithColorfulLightsVideo#

#RealHeiressCommandingInThreeForeignLanguages#

All high-definition, drawing traffic like crazy.

After CMore went live, user numbers began to climb.

The platform’s initial developer was very mysterious, known only by the code name 01, indicating they were the first registered user.

While Ning Yi seemed like a carefree and idle young lady in the Gu family, behind the scenes, she was building a thriving career.

Gu Cheng noticed her computer. “What are you playing?”

Ning Yi: “Just playing with some people.”

She quickly noticed a new batch of user applications.

Registered Pink V: Ding Ziyue, heiress of the Ding Group

Ning Yi: Hahaha, welcome.

Meanwhile, a storm was brewing within the Gu family.

—Because Master Gu really showed signs of recovery!

After three years, there was another national expert consultation in Gu Cheng’s ward.

Renowned doctors from across the country conducted a series of examinations, followed by heated discussions.

When Master Gu first had his accident, the Gu family had spent a fortune to bring in these experts, but at that time, they had tried everything—drug treatments, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, acupuncture, even electrotherapy. In the end, they found that nothing could wake him up; it only harmed Master Gu’s body.

It was as if some force had frozen his body in place, its functions remaining intact, but unsuited to any form of stimulation. At the time, someone had boldly speculated that this force might not last forever, and when it dissipated, Master Gu might wake up.

Now, although Master Gu hadn’t awakened, there were signs of activity.

Was this man about to perform another miracle?

The Gu family had tried to keep the news under wraps, but the commotion of the national expert consultation had inevitably reached the elite circles.

Suddenly, the entire circle was abuzz with people wanting to visit Master Gu, others secretly watching Gu Corporation’s stock prices, and those vying to be among the first to co-operate with the Gu family once Gu Cheng awakened—stretching from Gu Cheng’s estate all the way to the manor gates.

However, Ning Yi remained the only one allowed free access to visit Gu Cheng.

Many of the socialite heiresses who had rushed to the manor secretly gritted their teeth at the sight of Ning Yi’s leisurely demeanour.

She seemed so relaxed and smug??

Didn’t she realize she had no value?

If Master Gu really woke up, the first thing he’d do would be to kick her out! With Ning Yi’s background and qualifications, what right did she have to be the wife of the Gu family’s heir?

They quickly turned to CMore, posting cryptic complaints accompanied by selfies.

This app was really catching on; it was already becoming popular.

“Darling~ What did the doctors say?”

Ning Yi was lounging around while Gu Cheng stood by the bed, listening to the doctors.

She had thoughtfully left the opportunity to understand the medical situation to her husband. After all, what if Gu Cheng suddenly got up and started walking but was still bound by the plot and needed to take revenge on her? Wouldn’t it be better for them to build some emotional foundation first?

“Darling, I’m so nervous. I can’t wait for the day you recover!” Ning Yi said passionately.

Gu Cheng’s gaze swept over the numerous medical instruments in the room, then he lowered his eyes and said calmly, “Ah Yi, are you really looking forward to seeing me awake?”

“Of course, darling!” Ning Yi replied, “I’m really looking forward to it!”

Technically, she hadn’t actually met Gu Cheng in person.

Of course—though she had some slight concerns about the plot’s influence, Ning Yi wasn’t overly worried^_^

Because if Gu Cheng tried to take revenge on her, Ning Yi would just swap bodies.

—And use the world’s most powerful, domineering CEO’s body to show off!

The thought alone was exhilarating!

The doctors were still deep in discussion.

For now, they needed to wait for more reactions from Master Gu’s body to gather more medical data and make a more accurate judgment.

Gu Cheng was leaning against the wall, lost in thought, when Ning Yi’s phone rang in her pocket.

She had set a password on her phone, and Gu Cheng wasn’t one to invade someone else’s privacy. But today, when the screen lit up, he happened to catch a glimpse of a WeChat message in Ning Yi’s group chat.

【A Bunch of Handsome Primates】

Gu Cheng: “?”

More messages kept popping up.

【When will Big Sis guide us again】

【When Big Sis arrives, bugs fly away】

Gu Cheng let out a cool breath. Hah.

Unaware, Ning Yi continued to murmur heartfelt confessions with her eyes closed: “Darling, no matter what, I’ll stay by your side, helping you, waiting for the day you wake up!”

“—Alright.”

The man locked the phone screen, his deep, magnetic voice laced with a bit of malice as he spoke slowly.

“I know Ah Yi is anxious. I just spoke to Mother about it—starting tomorrow, in order to help me wake up as soon as possible, you’ll be reciting sutras four times a day, morning and evening, as part of a therapy of familial love.”

Ning Yi: “?”

“And when I wake up, Ah Yi will personally push my wheelchair, take care of my daily needs, and share the burden of my life.”

Ning Yi: “?”

Gu Cheng’s voice was cold and mocking, “After all—Ah Yi is my light, isn’t that right?”

Ning Yi nearly couldn’t keep lying down: ?? Are you kidding me, Gu Cheng!

And pushing a wheelchair? She might as well push him into the lake, would he believe that??

A burning rage flared in her chest!

—”Look, Master Gu is moving!”

Dr. Qian was the first to notice the movement.

“Heavens! He really is moving!”

“Three years, and this is the first time!”

The doctors in the room were all thrilled, watching the man with anticipation!

What signal was he trying to send?

They saw that slender, well-defined hand tremble slightly, then slowly, ever so slowly, lift.

And slowly, ever so slowly, give them all the finger.

“…” The room fell silent again.

Dr. Qian hesitated for a moment, then cautiously asked, “What does this mean, Master Gu?”

Gu Cheng: “.” Ning Yi: Damn this world ^_^
