I Am the Villain Who Plunders Everything From the Protagonist - Chapter 14

Chapter 14 First Encounter with the Supporting Female

Everyone wondered why the usually calm and well-mannered heir of the Shen Family suddenly became so sharp‑tongued.

Xia Anran stared at him in disbelief. “What did you just say?!”

Shen Yan crossed his legs, his demeanor lazy and relaxed. “I said you’re a lesbian. Any problem with that?”

“You…” Xia Anran’s phoenix‑shaped eyes widened fiercely.

Light chuckles sounded from somewhere around them, and several curious and amused gazes landed on her.

This made Xia Anran extremely displeased. Though everyone knew the truth and she never cared about other people’s opinions, having Shen Yan announce her orientation so bluntly in public still filled her with uncontrollable anger.

Xia Anran suddenly thought of something. She gave a low laugh, her voice cold and mocking. “I heard you’re about to get engaged to Huo Yunzhi. Yet you’re spending this much on a princess? If I tell Huo Yunzhi about this, what would she think of you?”

“What is Huo Yunzhi even worth?” Shen Yan replied without thinking, though he immediately realized he didn’t need to speak so directly.

He added slowly, “The auctions at Platinum Imperial Club always go to the highest bidder. As for what Huo Yunzhi thinks of me, that’s between me and her. What does it have to do with you? Miss Xia, why are you so young yet acting like a nosy neighborhood gossip aunt? If you want to bid, bid. If not, you’ll run out of time.”

Xia Anran’s face turned livid.

Shen Yan no longer paid her any attention. His calm, steady voice drifted toward the auctioneer. “Two hundred thousand. Not counted by rounds, right?”

The auctioneer quickly recovered and shouted, “Two hundred thousand, first call!”

“Two!” Xia Anran shouted again—clearly determined to go head‑to‑head with Shen Yan.

“One million,” Shen Yan said, raising the price fourfold without hesitation.

Xia Anran shot to her feet, fury blazing. “Are you insane?! One million! Does the Shen Family have so much money to burn?!”

One million yuan—just to buy three hours with a princess. Was he out of his mind?

Even a mid‑tier celebrity wouldn’t fetch such a price!

Even Xia Anran only felt a bit of interest because of Wen Rou’s fragile and pitiful aura.

Even Wen Rou on stage widened her eyes in disbelief. Someone bid one million… for her?!

[Ding! Luck Points +100]

“It’s my money; how I spend it has nothing to do with you. I’ll just say one thing: if you want to keep bidding, I’ll accompany you all the way.” Shen Yan shrugged casually, but inside he was thrilled at the system notification.

A mere one million earned him 100 Luck Points. More importantly, Wen Rou was originally one of the female supporting characters. If he fully conquered her, he would earn at least 3,000 Luck Points.

Forget one million—two million, ten million, Shen Yan would spend it all without blinking.

Compete with him in wealth? Xia Anran was still far behind!

At this moment, Xia Anran clenched her teeth so hard they nearly cracked. In the end, she could only stay silent.

The price had far exceeded Wen Rou’s value.

Although Xia Anran didn’t care about the one million, she wouldn’t throw away that much money just to compete with Shen Yan. Otherwise, as Shen Yan said, she’d only embarrass the Xia Family.

Shen Yan was a man—others would only say he was generous and charming for spending lavishly on a beautiful woman.

But she was a woman. If this got out, the gossip would be overwhelming.

It wasn’t worth spending that much on a princess she only had slight interest in.

With Xia Anran stepping back, no one else would bid beyond one million, so the final buyer was unquestionably Shen Yan.

Shen Yan’s target was Wen Rou. After the auction, someone led him to a private room. When he opened the door, Wen Rou was already waiting inside. She sat on the sofa, head bowed timidly.

Off the stage, her fragile, sorrowful glow faded. Even though she wore a deep‑V dress, she exuded no seduction. Instead, she looked constrained, frail, and anxious—like a frightened little rabbit.

Shen Yan waved his hand lightly. The staff member—clearly someone experienced at reading situations—left immediately.

Shen Yan took a cup and filled it with warm water from the dispenser.

“Hello,” he said as he approached Wen Rou and offered the water. “My name is Shen Yan.”

“Hello… I’m Wen Rou.” She accepted it instinctively, but whether from nerves or something else, her hand trembled, and water spilled over the rim. Though it wasn’t hot, she reacted as if burned.

Shen Yan’s trousers were also splashed, and Wen Rou panicked. “I’m sorry!!! I’m so sorry!”

Her face flushed crimson as she hurried to grab tissues, bending over to wipe his clothes.

“It’s fine.” Shen Yan stopped her hand and said gently, “Wipe your own hand first. Don’t hurt yourself.”

Wen Rou lowered her head and rubbed the tissue over her hand repeatedly, looking dazed.

Since she had sold herself to Platinum Imperial Club, Wen Rou had already prepared for the worst outcome.

In the end, it was nothing more than exchanging her body for money.

But she never imagined someone would bid one million for her.

And it was only for three hours…

She would only receive about ten thousand after splitting with the club.

Did she deserve that much? Wen Rou asked herself.

No.

So before Shen Yan arrived, Wen Rou had already decided—

Whatever Shen Yan wanted to do to her, she would obey without resistance.

Even though she resolved herself mentally, when Shen Yan sat beside her, her body stiffened instinctively.

“Don’t be nervous,” Shen Yan said softly. “I just want to chat with you.”

In Shen Yan’s opinion, among all the female supporting characters in the original novel, Wen Rou was undoubtedly the easiest to win over.

Her orientation was normal. The original novel described how she once longed for passionate and beautiful love.

But growing up in darkness, filth, and cruelty had pushed her into deep inferiority and fear. She craved affection desperately.

Even a shred of warmth in her icy world would make her grateful for life—and willing to give everything in return.

And now, the person she felt grateful toward… was Shen Yan.

“Wen Rou, do you know why I was willing to spend so much money on you?” Shen Yan leaned casually against the sofa and asked.

Wen Rou bit her lip, her pale fingers gripping her skirt tightly, her body growing even more tense.

“Don’t think too much,” Shen Yan said gently. “I just feel that a clean, beautiful girl like you shouldn’t appear in a place like this.”

Wen Rou froze. She lifted her gaze and stared blankly at him.

He… said she was clean, and beautiful.

[Ding! Luck Points +100]

“So…” Shen Yan asked knowingly, “are you short on money?”

Hearing that question, Wen Rou lowered her head again.
