Of course, right now, Su Chen didn't particularly care about what Chen Yuxin was thinking. He was just really puzzled. She was obviously pretending to sleep, so why not take action? Was she really waiting for him to take advantage of her? Su Chen directly asked, "Chen Yuxin, what are you thinking? Why are you pretending to sleep?"
"I just wanted you to take me in. I really have no place to go," Chen Yuxin said, drawing closer to Su Chen with a pitiable expression. "Don't you like me?" As she spoke, she struck a pose. Su Chen looked at Chen Yuxin with amusement. To be honest, she was stunningly beautiful, the kind of beauty that naturally dazzles and captivates. Chen Yuxin's pretty face was now fully exposed to Su Chen's gaze. Indeed, she was the girl who once made his heart race.
With a serious tone, Su Chen said, "It's precisely because I like you that I'm concerned for your safety. Blindly trusting men like this isn't a good thing."
"But from the moment I laid eyes on you, I knew you were a trustworthy man," Chen Yuxin responded earnestly.
Even considering their previous life, the time she had spent with Su Chen might not have been that long, but it was certainly the most beautiful memory of her lifetime. Having witnessed the darkness of the world, she didn't have many happy memories. Yet, whenever she thought of the times she had spent with Su Chen, she couldn't help but smile. "So, please take me in. After all, with your vast Su family estate, one more person won't be an issue."
Su Chen slightly furrowed his brows, seeming perplexed.
"You've got to be kidding me," thought Su Chen, a smirk forming on his face. "After coming home with me, you won't remain that innocent pink-hued girl. I will expose you to darkness. Are you sure you still want to stay at my house?"
"Perfect, let's go home together!" Chen Yuxin replied, her voice filled with excitement. She realized that getting close to Su Chen in the romantic way she had hoped was becoming less probable. Her best approach now was to live with him. Even though she was clueless about love, in this lifetime she had made it a point to understand various aspects of relationships. For instance, if she wanted a man to be completely devoted to her, she had to give him something worthwhile in return.
"Alright," Su Chen replied, unsure of what exactly Chen Yuxin had in mind. But he was aware that this was all an act by her. As long as he played along, the storyline would unfold seamlessly. At this point, he realized that these female protagonists were slowly becoming more cunning, devising even more ruthless schemes. Regardless, Su Chen was finding it increasingly challenging to maintain his villainous role.
The storyline wasn't initially this convoluted, but the male and female leads kept improvising, complicating matters. For instance, the male lead was conspicuously absent. Su Chen, the antagonist, had managed to bring the intoxicated female lead to a hotel, yet the hero was nowhere to be found. Su Chen speculated that Chen Yuxin's change in strategy was due to the absence of Qin Yu. He pondered deeply, trying to piece everything together.
Su Chen felt it would be too stifling to leave things as they were. Chen Yuxin and the Chen family were significant assets in fulfilling his plot. How could he let such a golden opportunity slip away right in front of him? With these thoughts in mind, Su Chen stood up, fixing his gaze intently on Chen Yuxin. From time to time, a hint of a smile graced his lips.
Perhaps Su Chen's gaze was too intense, for Chen Yuxin shyly lowered her head. After a moment of silence, Su Chen placed his phone in front of Chen Yuxin, saying, "Make some noise so I can record it. After that, you can go home with me." Su Chen's reasoning was simple. Even though he hadn't done anything to Chen Yuxin, he still wanted to have some form of evidence. For instance, her voice, which while not being definitive proof, could still be problematic for the Chen family.
Hearing this, Chen Yuxin bit her thin lip and her eyebrows furrowed, indicating hesitation. "Isn't this inappropriate? I feel quite shy," she voiced. Chen Yuxin looked at Su Chen, deeply conflicted. It wasn't because she disliked him; on the contrary, she was overly concerned about his opinion of her. She worried that engaging in such a humiliating act might tarnish her image in Su Chen's eyes.
However, Su Chen didn't see things this way. No matter what choice Chen Yuxin made, he stood to benefit. If she refused, he would have a valid reason not to take her home. Su Chen threatened, "Earlier, you said I was reliable. Why hesitate now?" Su Chen was purposeful in his intent; he aimed to unveil the true face of Chen Yuxin.
Once the façade was torn away, everything could return to the normal storyline. Chen Yuxin was indecisive. Her teeth gently biting her pink lips, her delicate demeanor was so irresistible that one couldn't help but want to assist her.
Indeed, if Su Chen wanted her voice, he must have feelings for her. Yet, he didn't wish to force her. Hence, he was using this method to restrain himself. If she declined now, she might truly lose Su Chen, and even if she didn't, she wouldn't be able to live with him anymore. She had waited so many years and couldn't afford to miss this chance.
While Chen Yuxin was confident about her appearance, she knew her rivals were not to be underestimated. Agreeing might be a little embarrassing, but it could potentially make Su Chen fall in love with her. Besides, it was only a matter of time. With these thoughts in mind, Chen Yuxin smiled subtly and chose to agree.
Seeing her consent, Su Chen internally sighed in relief. This was perfect; next, he'd have Chen Yuxin take the recording as evidence, and the Chen family would surely attack the Su family. Contemplating this, Su Chen picked up his phone, swiping to the recording function. He then looked at Chen Yuxin with a sleazy expression, stating flatly, "You can start now."
Chen Yuxin was so furious she nearly jumped. After all, she was a maiden of standing, and no man had ever dared to look at her directly in her life. Yet now she was being asked to do something she would only consider in her most embarrassing dreams.
Damn it! Just because I have feelings for you doesn't mean you can do as you please. Mark my words, one day I'll make sure you kneel behind me.
With these thoughts, Chen Yuxin reluctantly took the phone, her breathing accelerating crazily. Clearly, although she had convinced herself inwardly, she was still somewhat embarrassed. Time passed, yet Chen Yuxin remained still. She slightly parted her red lips but couldn't produce a sound. Su Chen was at a loss for words, thinking, "Why are you being so shy? It's not like I've never heard such things before." He exclaimed, "Can you or can't you? Do I need to help you make the sound?"
Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Chen Yuxin's face turned even redder. If officials saw this scene, they'd surely be dumbfounded. "Fine, I'll do it. What's the big deal?" Finally, Chen Yuxin made up her mind.
Su Chen looked at the recording with satisfaction. Honestly, he could barely restrain himself from wanting to play it back immediately. But after a moment's thought, he held back. "Can we go now?" Chen Yuxin was eager to leave. Initially, she thought she'd seize this opportunity to completely win over Su Chen. Little did she know that merely making a few sounds in front of him would make her feel so uneasy. Suddenly, an image of Su Chen and her being intimate flashed across her mind, causing her face to turn even redder.
Seeing the pitiful expression on Chen Yuxin's face, Su Chen scoffed inwardly. Clearly, deep down, this woman still despised him. Su Chen didn't care too much, after all, in the original story, even Qin Yu, the child of destiny, couldn't win this woman over.
Based on Su Chen's many years of experience, Chen Yuxin was like a wild horse - incredibly enticing but not allowing anyone to approach. It seemed as though humans were not worthy to ride it. Yet, there was one exception: him. Because this horse's name was "Little Pig Suitable to Ride."
"No rush. Little Pig needs to take a shower first. You can wait," Su Chen remarked. He couldn't leave just like that; he had to help Chen Yuxin get the recording. This way, she could return home and lodge a complaint.
"Why? I didn't say I wanted to shower. Can't you just shower when you get home?" Chen Yuxin coquettishly inquired. "I can't. I'm really pressed!" Without further ado, Su Chen handed his phone to Chen Yuxin. "My phone's password is 1234567. If there's any message, please check it for me." Su Chen felt this was clear enough. If Chen Yuxin still didn't understand what to do, he really wouldn't know what else to say. After speaking, Su Chen swiftly turned and rushed into the restroom.
Watching Su Chen's retreating figure, Chen Yuxin felt delighted. She knew that deep down, Su Chen wanted her to leave, so he purposely found an excuse - taking a shower - to give her a chance to escape. In their past life when she was kidnapped by Su Chen, he would always find various reasons to leave, granting her opportunities to flee.
She never expected to constantly encounter such strange events, making it impossible for her to escape from Su Chen, as if it was fate. In the end, she did leave, but she indirectly betrayed Su Chen by assisting that bastard Qin Yu, leading to Su Chen's death. In this lifetime, she was determined to avenge that grievance.
Her spoilt image was merely a facade. She had realized this during her previous life when Su Chen kidnapped her. Now that she was certain, she felt even more elated.
In the blink of an eye, Su Chen emerged, having been gone for just over ten minutes. He believed that by now, Chen Yuxin would have transferred the recording to her own phone. "I'm giving you another chance now; do you still want to come home with me?" Su Chen asked, looking at Chen Yuxin. He was convinced that after obtaining such crucial evidence, she would have no reason to stay by his side. Thinking about these experiences, Su Chen felt like exploding with rage. He was utterly perplexed about what was wrong with the current heroines.
"Of course, I can't wait to go back with you," Chen Yuxin genuinely replied.
"Who asked you to come with me? Can't you just leave? I want you to leave! In the original story, you were the woman who always treated the male lead with disdain. Now you're so eager, what does this mean?" Seeing Chen Yuxin's sincere gaze, Su Chen was so angry he wanted to lash out. Could it be that she didn't transfer the recording to her own phone? Damn it, Chen Yuxin, can't you think things through?
You can't even handle something like this. Aren't you often involved in gathering evidence? I've given you so many opportunities, and yet you've not accomplished the task; what are you doing?
Su Chen was absolutely furious.
Chen Yuxin looked at Su Chen, who stood still in shock, and felt somewhat pleased. She sensed that he was certainly taken aback. She chose to go back with him, which means she was the first woman to make Su Chen feel this way.
"Don't just stand there, let's go." Su Chen lifted his head and glared menacingly at Chen Yuxin.
Chen Yuxin, snapping back to reality and not hiding the happiness on her face, followed with her long legs that seemed irresistibly alluring.
Su Chen and Chen Yuxin left the room.
As they descended the stairs, Su Chen increasingly felt a sense of déjà vu. It seemed like in his past life, when he had kidnapped Chen Yuxin, a similar situation had occurred. He clearly let this woman go home to send word. Yet, there were always unexpected hiccups with her. Absolutely unreliable. Being a kidnapper, he felt utterly stressed out.
Of course, in the end, he was rescued by Qin Yu.
Thinking of Qin Yu, anger surged within Su Chen.
What a useless man, with such a golden opportunity in front of you, yet you don't come to the rescue. This is a chance to win over Chen Yuxin's heart! Indeed, being too smart is not always a good thing because only "Little Pig" deserves Chen Yuxin.
However, before he could react, a shout suddenly came from the doorway.
"Yuxin, are you okay?"
"Don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to bully you."
At this moment, Qin Yu appeared with a strong sense of justice, his eyes blazing with anger upon seeing Su Chen.
In contrast, Su Chen was overjoyed.
Damn it.
Finally! I've waited for you; thank goodness I didn't give up. I always said that everything is destined. Even if the plot deviates, the male lead will still come to the rescue. If Qin Yu had taken any longer, Su Chen would have doubted if this protagonist was an idiot.
Of course, now it's time for Su Chen to put on a performance.
Su Chen sneered, "Qin Yu, you little beast, how dare you show up in front of me."
While verbally provoking him, Su Chen boldly placed his hand on Chen Yuxin's hip. He then gave Qin Yu a challenging look, reveling in the latter's twisted expression of rage. Su Chen felt immensely satisfied. This feeling is truly amazing. Being a brainless villain, there's no need to think. In an instant, you can attract the hatred of the protagonist.
This is precisely how a male supporting villain's script should look. "You bastard, do you know what you've done? I'm going to kill you." Qin Yu had just entered the hotel, only to witness the woman he cherished walking out with Su Chen, and she even looked slightly flushed. This immediately caused Qin Yu's blood to boil, feeling as though a vast green field had suddenly appeared in his mind, a popular Chinese metaphor for being green with jealousy or cuckolded.
Qin Yu was instantly livid; he had never endured such an insult before. "Su Chen, I originally intended to spare your life," he said, "But since you're courting death, don't blame me." Recalling all previous incidents, and now with Su Chen's provocations, Qin Yu no longer had the patience to hold back. He clenched his fist and landed a heavy punch directly on Su Chen's face.
Seeing Qin Yu's actions, Su Chen appeared very panicked, yet internally, he was overjoyed. Haha! He had finally enraged Qin Yu. If Qin Yu didn't react this time, Su Chen would start to suspect the other man might have masochistic tendencies. Thankfully, Qin Yu eventually couldn't contain himself, and the legendary warrior finally lost his temper. According to the original plot, Su Chen was supposed to get a severe beating. Then Fang Han and his group would arrive, intending to fight against Qin Yu. However, in the end, they too would receive a good thrashing.
Subsequently, Qin Yu boasted ostentatiously and then managed to win the beauty over. At this time, members of the Chen family also appeared, intending to take Su Chen away. Once captured, another bout of torture awaited him. However, just as Su Chen was preparing himself for all of this, an unexpected turn of events occurred again.
A delicate and fair arm intervened, blocking Qin Yu's assault. Chen Yuxin's eyebrows furrowed, her eyes reflecting a hint of displeasure. Her voice carried a tone of anger as she said, "I believe there's been a misunderstanding." "I chose to follow young master Su of my own accord." She added, "Also, please correct your form of address. We don't seem that familiar with each other, so it's best to avoid any misconceptions."
