Chapter 51: The Heroine Doesn’t Want to Take the Blame
Chen Fan hummed a little tune as he returned home, looking for Zhu Yeqing.
“Where are you, Zhu Yeqing?”
At this moment, Zhu Yeqing had firmly shut her room door. She was terrified, thinking, Damn it, this is too scary. Could he really be trying to turn evil because of me? Lin Qingyue didn’t even go on the date, and you still became evil? Isn’t that going too far?
“Young Master, I’m a bit tired, so I’m going to rest now.”
“I’m very angry right now.”
Zhu Yeqing didn’t respond to Chen Fan anymore.
Forget it, enough with the acting. Chen Fan also felt that what happened today was a bit strange, so he decided to go to sleep and see what would happen the next day.
If nothing major happened the next day, Chen Fan would start thinking about whether the heroines’ character settings were really starting to change.
If things happened naturally, then so be it. He didn’t think much more and quickly fell asleep.
Meanwhile, Lin Qingyue had returned home and was looking at Xiao Lan.
“Why do you like Ye Aotian so much?”
“I’m sorry … I couldn’t help it. He’s just too charming. Boss, I really think Ye Aotian is a great guy.”
“What’s so great about him?”
“He’s worked his way up alone, never backing down.”
“He’s killed people.”
“But that’s only because they hurt him first.”
Lin Qingyue was speechless. Did the whole world really revolve around Ye Aotian?
“Fine, let me ask you something else. How many men have you slept with?”
Xiao Lan immediately tensed up, nervously looking at Lin Qingyue.
From her expression, Lin Qingyue instantly knew the answer.
“No wonder some people in the company look at you strangely. You had a boyfriend before, right?”
“Yeah, he’s in jail now.”
Lin Qingyue truly felt was a different world altogether. She had never thought that her close friend would turn out to be this kind of woman. She had seen men who couldn’t resist beautiful women, but never a woman who couldn’t resist men.
“Why don’t you look for a decent guy? Why go after these types? Tattoos, fighting, being a thug?”
“I don’t know, Boss. Please stop asking. This is my personal business.”
Personal business, huh?
“Fine, then. Leave. The company doesn’t need you anymore. Go to Ye Aotian; I think he needs you more.”
“Leave. I don’t like Ye Aotian, and naturally, I won’t like you either. I can’t accept the fact that you slept with Ye Aotian.”
So, you really do like Ye Aotian, huh?
“Boss, actually today, I was testing Ye Aotian on purpose.”
What??? Now you’re flipping the script?
Lin Qingyue looked at Xiao Lan, confused. “What do you mean by that?”
“I knew you would come, especially since I borrowed your clothes. Many people thought you were the one going on a date with Ye Aotian, and I knew you wouldn’t be comfortable with that.”
“And then, I didn’t know where you were, so I had to test him. The whole time, he kept talking about you. And besides, you do like Ye Aotian.”
What … kind of twisted logic is that? Sister, please, stop showing off, okay?
Xiao Lan continued, “If you didn’t like Ye Aotian, why would you get mad just because I slept with him?”
Do I really have to tell you that someone wrote a diary, and everything described in it is true? That they even know you’re a slut who’s slept with many men and doesn’t respect herself? There’s no explaining this.
“You … forget it. I’m tired. Just leave. Get your resignation paperwork done. I don’t want to see you anymore.”
Xiao Lan nodded quietly and left the room.
Lin Qingyue looked out the window. Maybe she should just smash her head against a block of tofu and end it all. This was just too ridiculous.
Stupid Ye Aotian, just you wait. I’ll ruin you if it’s the last thing I do.
After leaving Lin Qingyue’s house, Xiao Lan sent a message to Ye Aotian.
“I know you must hate me.”
Ye Aotian looked at Xiao Lan’s message and fell into deep thought, replying, “No, I was just too anxious at the time.”
“I like you. I don’t ask for a title. Our relationship … I’ll just consider it a fleeting affair. If you ever need me, you can come to me anytime.”
If Chen Fan were here, he would definitely give Xiao Lan an award for stealing the show. It was just ridiculous.
“No need for that. Come work with me. Lin Qingyue fired you, didn’t she?”
“She must like you. She got mad because of my relationship with you. A woman who doesn’t care about a man wouldn’t get angry.”
“It’s fine. Come to me for now. There’s plenty of work here, and I won’t let you go hungry. I, Ye Aotian, have never mistreated anyone who’s helped me, especially women.”
As expected, Xiao Lan felt she hadn’t misjudged Ye Aotian.
This man was far better than Chen Fan. She was willing to give everything for Ye Aotian, she didn’t mind even giving him her body.
In truth, Xiao Lan’s thinking was relatively normal most of the time, but in the world of novels, it didn’t work. If the protagonist’s woman was touched by someone else, things got serious.
Unfortunately, Ye Aotian didn’t know Xiao Lan’s real background as a slut. But all of this had nothing to do with Chen Fan, because at that moment, Chen Fan was sound asleep.
With the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon at its perfected level, it constantly adjusted and optimized Chen Fan’s body, improving him bit by bit. That was the beauty of the system. No need for cultivation or effort, just sleep, and your strength would increase at a terrifying rate.
That night, many heroines were destined to lose sleep. But Chen Fan alone slept soundly.
Zhu Yeqing quietly opened the door and tiptoed into Chen Fan’s room.
Chen Fan opened his eyes and looked at her.
Zhu Yeqing immediately became alert.
“Young Master, I just came to check if you were covered properly. I’ll leave now.”
With that, she dashed back to her room in an instant.
Revenge? What revenge? Right now, all Zhu Yeqing could think about was how to protect herself.
Chen Fan was clearly turning evil on purpose. This guy was a shameless rogue. He was just drooling over her.
