Chapter 71

She tidied her hair slightly, trying to keep it from getting too messy. Then, she confidently strode in.

The rest was simply waiting for Chen Fan to come and kidnap her.

In the car, Chen Fan grew increasingly annoyed, asking, “Where’s Lin Qingyue?”

Everyone looked at Chen Fan, thinking, Boss, you’re the one who called us here. We thought you knew. If you don’t know, how could we possibly know? Asking us is useless.

Zhu Yeqing held back her laughter, thinking to herself, Just keep acting, playing the role of an attention-seeking showman every day.

“Interesting, truly interesting. The Lin family is really a dog-like family. Whoever rises, they flock around. Just wait, I’ll make sure Lin Guofu pays for this.”

In the story, there was indeed a part where Lin Guofu approached Ye Aotian, but the novel didn’t mention Lin Guofu asking for shares.

The original text simply described Lin Guofu wanting to see what his daughter had been nagging about concerning Ye Aotian, and what he had achieved.

Afterward, Ye Aotian discovered Lin Guofu’s hidden illness and helped him treat it. Since then, Lin Guofu became interested in Ye Aotian.

However, he didn’t approach him immediately. The real connection took a long time to form.

Only after the Chen family started to fall did Lin Guofu find a new ally and dared to stand up to the Chen family.

But in reality, due to Lin Qingyue’s changing attitude, Lin Guofu started to understand his responsibilities as a father, prompting him to approach Ye Aotian earlier. Yet his daughter stopped him, and for a moment, Lin Guofu didn’t know what to do.

How should he handle this situation?

Chen Fan was equally puzzled. Seeing Lin Qingyue, he opened the car door and instructed his men to take action.

Zhu Yeqing supervised, bringing along a few female guards.

Two of them surrounded Lin Qingyue.

Then Chen Fan sensed something odd; Lin Qingyue actually walked willingly towards his car. No attempt to run.

Hey, lady, could you at least pretend to run? What are you doing? Can’t you see that I’m clearly here to kidnap you? Not running, what’s that supposed to mean?

However, the show must go on.

“Grab her! Don’t let her escape.”

Lin Qingyue chuckled, I wasn’t even planning to run. Why are you getting so worked up?

She looked at Chen Fan and said, “What do you mean by this?”

“What do I mean? You’re so eager to find Ye Aotian, aren’t you? Previously, you denied any relationship with him. And yet, the moment his company opened, you couldn’t wait to see him. What’s the rush to cheer for him? Do you think you can finally be rid of me?”

Lin Qingyue sighed softly, saying, “Actually, I really have nothing to do with Ye Aotian. I’ve already returned the shares. I told you many times, I don’t like Ye Aotian.”

“Don’t like him? Who would believe that? The entire Qincheng believes you love Ye Aotian. I’ve never suffered such humiliation.”

“So, what do you plan to do?”

“What will I do? I’m going to see what manner Ye Aotian uses to save you. I’m quite curious.”

Seeing that Chen Fan had no further lines, Zhu Yeqing knew it was time for her team to take action.

Several people stepped up and pushed Lin Qingyue into the car.

They tied her up. Gagged her mouth.

Lin Qingyue was speechless. I didn’t even resist; was this necessary?

However, Lin Qingyue decided to play along. If she acted too eager, Chen Fan might get suspicious. This way, she’d have a chance to be alone with him.

So, she actually enjoyed this part of the storyline, hoping it would proceed smoothly. The only part she didn’t enjoy was the thought of Ye Aotian coming to save her in the end.

At this moment, Ye Aotian, who was treating someone, glanced at the message from Zhu Yeqing, feeling stunned.

Impossible. How dare Chen Fan do such a thing? How could he be so audacious?

“You’re saying that Lin Qingyue was kidnapped by Chen Fan?”

“Yes, kidnapped. If you want to save her, act quickly.”

“Thank you … Thank you so much.”

Zhu Yeqing sneered, saying, “No need to thank me. As you said, an enemy’s enemy is a friend. I think we need to play that role.”

“Understood.”

“When the time comes, if you show up, I won’t hold back. I hope you’re prepared.”

“Absolutely. Give it your all.”

Zhu Yeqing ended the call without a reply.

Finally, I’ve found an opportunity to beat someone up.

Reading the journal, Zhu Yeqing felt exasperated with the protagonist, unable to bear him any longer. Now that this opportunity had finally come, she was going to make the most of it to teach this arrogant protagonist a lesson.

After hanging up, Zhu Yeqing looked around the room and sighed quietly.

To be honest, it was just a novel. If this were real life, by now, the two of them would have done it.

How could it be possible for the female lead to return completely unscathed? It wouldn’t be realistic.

But since it’s a novel, if that were the case, it wouldn’t be an infinite story anymore but a green hat story*.

[TN:*NTR]

In the room, Chen Fan looked at Lin Qingyue before him, feeling a bit nervous. Because he had to act like a rogue.

Yes, this scene was quite simple. He had to take advantage, give her a kiss, a hug, and then the woman would resist with all her might.

He’d get fed up and slap her, cursing her. But right now, this woman wasn’t even resisting.

Holding Lin Qingyue, Chen Fan suddenly didn’t know what to do.

Miss, please don’t do this. Could you at least resist a little? If you act like this, how am I supposed to proceed with the storyline?

***

Chen Fan felt utterly defeated. Dammit, why isn’t anyone following the script? In a normal story, this shouldn’t be happening. How am I supposed to keep going like this?

Actually, this part of the plot was clearly described in the novel in detail. How Chen Fan kidnapped Lin Qingyue and started asking her nonsensical questions about why she didn’t choose him. But Lin Qingyue’s response was that she was in love with Ye Aotian, and she’d rather die than be with Chen Fan.

Eventually, Chen Fan had no choice but to give up.

Honestly, even Chen Fan himself was stunned reading this scene; This level of plot armor for the protagonist is just insane!

Oh well, let’s keep going with it.

So, he pushed Lin Qingyue into the room, and without saying a word, he grabbed her and leaned in for a kiss. Naturally, the woman was supposed to turn her head to avoid him, but in this situation, things were off.

How could she not dodge? Why wasn’t she resisting?

Chen Fan started feeling nervous. He actually leaned in for a kiss. Normally, Lin Qingyue would have dodged, but instead, she leaned in and kissed him back.

What the hell? This is too much. What kind of female lead are you supposed to be? How am I, the villain, supposed to keep going?

Lin Qingyue saw Chen Fan’s dumbfounded look and kissed him again.

“You … how could you … what’s wrong with you?” Chen Fan was completely thrown off; something was definitely wrong with this story.

Lin Qingyue said, “Didn’t you say you like me? Well, I’m telling you now, I like you too.”

I don’t believe it; even if you did like me, I wouldn’t believe it.

“You … you can’t do this. How can you …”

Lin Qingyue chuckled and said, “Chen Fan, or are you just scared? Don’t make me look down on you. You don’t even have the courage to touch me, yet you claim to like me?”

Chen Fan cursed under his breath.

Screw it, who do you think you’re looking down on?
