My CEO Harem Cultivation System

The night sky was filled with stars and constellations—but they were not as bright or even significant in the city that continued to light up the surroundings. It was on one of the main roads where it happened. There was a certain car that headed its way out of the city. CEO Yang Li was on his way home, and he had a certain someone with him on the front seat. They were seated snuggly on the chair, and they couldn't be bothered with the safety notions of seat belts.

It wasn't Ying Yue He

The Panda had a small frown on their face. They shot the man a look. "I thought you were smart, but you didn't even take the chance to take her home." They couldn't believe this guy wasted it! "Can you imagine how many more points you could have possibly accumulated? Or the chances to further the relationship? I can already see that you're doomed for failure."

"She didn't want me to—besides, I've already accomplished the quest, haven't I?" Yang Li's gaze was steady on the road.

The Panda made a sound.. "What?"

"I took her out on a date and thus accomplished the quest. Didn't you see the notification?"

"... What? That's not possible!" The Panda protested as they floated above the seat and appeared in front of him.

He eyed them and slowed down the car, "The quest was taking out my secretary on a date."

"No, you were supposed to date her!" The Panda raised its fists and clutched its head. "How could you have not understood that?!"

Yang Li summoned the screen for them to see.

[ Main Quest: Date The Secretary! ]

[ Difficulty Level: Easy ]

[ Status: Completed! ]

[ Summary: Harem Cultivation is the method of gaining power through conquering beauties and adding them to your 'harem'. Your current target is 'Ying Yu He' and as the title suggests, date your secretary! ]

[ Success: 10,000 Charm Points ]

"W-why did the system—"

"Not state a duration? I noticed that it didn't say anything about me needing to date her for a specific length of time? It wasn't explicitly stated so even taking her out on a date once counts as me dating her. Isn't that why you said that this quest was too easy?" Yang Li asked. After about five more minutes, he reached his destination. It was amusing to see the Panda in a sputtering and almost catatonic state. The man stepped out of the car, taking in his suitcase as he walked towards his home.

"You're definitely going to get punished for this!"

The CEO rubbed his chin, "I don't think so. I wouldn't have received the Charm Points if I did something wrong, don't you agree?" He unlocked the door and stepped into his home—he let out a sigh. He was home at last and he could finally get some rest… before he woke up and did everything on repeat.

With an addition of new tasks and roles though, Yang Li eyed the creature who looked upset.

"Grr…"

He still couldn't understand why it was upset but there was no use thinking about it. He had other concerns. "As for the Charm Points, it's a type of currency is it not? I'm eager to see what I can purchase with them and would like your assistance if possible."

"I'm not some assistant of yours!"

And it was at that moment that thunder clapped alongside the creature's shout. The Panda proceeded to take shelter under his roof, "I swear, I wouldn't be surprised if you were hit by the lightning tribulations from the heavens right now."

Yang Li raised a brow and studied the heavy rain falling down. It was a freak storm. "She probably should have gotten home back now, wouldn't she?"

"Hah! Didn't think you'd care when you got all your Charm Points."

He rolled his eyes, "There is a thing called natural concern for one another—and add to the fact that she is my secretary. It would be a lot harder to do my work if she wasn't around."

The Panda crossed their arms over their chest. "I can take this in two ways—one you just uttered a lot of bullcrap. Or two you only think of your secretary as someone who'd inconvenience you if she got sick, now which is it?"

. . .

Ying Yue He watched her boss drive away and head back to who knows where… "Probably some mansion outside the city, or a penthouse in the center of the city." She glanced down at the suit coat he had left her and ran her fingers over the rich and silky material. "Can I even actually wear this all by myself?" Her gaze darted around the streets. It wasn't as if they had eaten at some rundown place but…

She didn't want to catch too much attention and it looked expensive.

Ying Yue He looked back up and saw the vehicle disappear in the distance. She pursed her lips together, "Why did he ask me out on a date?" It was weird. And yet this suit coat made her consider the possibility that he truly was interested in her. But he didn't insist on taking her home. "I should have said yes the first time." The woman shook her head. She couldn't blame him for giving mixed signals when she truly wasn't as honest either.

Still, she needed to get home as fast as she could.

Her ride back home was a normal occasion for her, if not a long and uncomfortable one as always. She was slightly regretting the fact that she didn't take the man's offer of driving her home but the place she lived in wasn't an appropriate location for them—she was too embarrassed to even say the address. Ying Yue He soon got off at her stop and then started back to her place on foot.

It wasn't as if the place was dangerous or something but…

A clap of thunder roused her from her thoughts as rain poured down from the skies. "C-Crap," Ying Yue He began to run towards her apartment while taking preventative measures from getting the suit coat wet. Perhaps he had given it to her for some protection but she wouldn't use it for this. Once she reached the lobby of her old apartment, she sighed in relief and pushed the damp hair out of her face.

"I still need to wash it though." Ying Yue He had kept the coat close to her chest. It was a good thing that her backpack was the waterproof kind. Still, the coast was clear wasn't it? Maybe she had been overreacting it?

"—Ying Yue He, what have you got there?"

The young woman nearly jumped up in fright and spun to see the landlady. She mustered her most relaxed smile, "A-Ah, Madam Dongxia, nothing to see here. It's actually really rainy outside, and I think I'll head back to my unit now..."

"Don't think you can run away from my eyes—I can see that it's a man's coat from miles away! Where's the gentleman?" The older woman started to head for the door.

She was a busybody as ever.

It wasn't always that her landlady was around the first floor—but Madam Dongxia could sniff a man from a mile away for reasons unknown to Ying Yue He. She didn't want her boss getting hit on by this older woman. Or harangued if she thought that the gentleman was dating her. That was a lot more complications than she wanted to… and she doubted that a man like him could maintain a long interest in her.

It would weird out their working relationship.

"Madam Dongxia, I went home on my own." She called out to them lest the woman went out the rain.

"What?! He didn't even take you home! The next time he comes here, I'll give him an earful about what it takes to court a lady!"
