The Villain Is Surrounded by Delusional Female Leads Who Won’t Leave Him Alone - Chapter 9:

Chapter 9: [As Long As Ye Chen Makes a Move, Everything Will Be Fine]

“I was wondering who it was—turns out it’s just a lowly security guard…” Fei Yangyao had only just started his villain dialogue when Gu Xiyue suddenly stole the scene!

“Are you one of Xiao Wang’s men? You’ve got no manners. This has nothing to do with you—get lost!” Gu Xiyue scolded him sharply, her eyes searching for her head of security nearby.

A burly man quickly pulled Ye Chen back and apologized, “Sorry, CEO Gu. I failed to keep him in line. Ye Chen, what are you doing? Get out of here!”

Seeing the woman he had long treated as his private property about to become someone else’s girlfriend, Ye Chen felt his Dragon King dignity deeply insulted. Rage surged in his chest.

For over twenty years, he had always been the one ignoring others. In the Dragon King Hall, no one had ever dared to ignore him like this!

Woman, you won’t escape the palm of my hand.

Ye Chen waved his arm casually, tossing the security captain Wang Yong aside and advanced toward Gu Xiyue.

“Xiyue, you said it yourself. You said you wouldn’t fall in love or date anyone until you’d led Gu Corporation to become the top company in South City, until you’d made the Gu family the number one clan. Not even if your father forced you!”

Seeing Ye Chen’s lecherous face, Gu Xiyue was overcome with disgust and shoved him away.

She immediately sensed something was off and demanded, “And how do you know that? This is my private matter! I’ve never said it publicly!”

Right, Fei Yangyao suddenly remembered Gu Xiyue’s character setting in the original novel.

Over the past few years, Gu Xiyue had indeed rejected many suitors, including Fei Yangyao, but she had never said those words publicly—because she knew her father wouldn’t approve.

Her father, Gu Menggang, valued sons over daughters. He never believed a woman could become the backbone of the family. Despite Gu Xiyue’s growing achievements and her steady leadership of the family business, he remained stubborn and old-fashioned, always hoping to marry her off to find a son-in-law who could “revitalize” the Gu family.

If it weren’t for Fei Yangyao’s bad reputation and his lack of a decent image, Gu Menggang might’ve already arranged a marriage.

Still, thanks to Fei Yangyao scaring off other suitors over the past two and a half years, there hadn’t been much progress on that front—so the issue remained on hold.

Meanwhile…

Ye Chen had always targeted the Gu family and had long been eyeing Gu Xiyue’s computer.

Just two days ago, he seized a rare opportunity—when Gu Xiyue wasn’t in the office, he hacked the surveillance system and sneaked in, using a hacker’s toolkit to crack her laptop password.

He succeeded in unlocking it, only to find that it wasn’t the company laptop—it was her personal one, filled with her private diary entries!

The company laptop had been taken away by her!

Ye Chen was stunned. No wonder her laptop bag always looked bulky—it contained two laptops!

Who would’ve guessed?

He skimmed through a couple entries and was just about to download them to dig into her secrets—hoping it would help him conquer both her and the Gu family—when his contact outside sent a warning: Gu Xiyue was on her way back!

The domain with her diary required an additional password. Ye Chen had no time to crack it. He quickly restored everything and left, planning to sneak back in another day.

“…”

Ye Chen hadn’t expected to blurt all of this out in the heat of the moment. He had never made such a dumb mistake before—he had always been the strategist!

Fei Yangyao thought to himself: What the hell is Ye Chen doing? Why would he reveal his own dirty deeds?

This is why you can’t expect anything from Dragon King protagonists…

But wait—how did the female lead pick up on that so fast? Was she really this sharp?

She instantly caught the hidden meaning in his words.

That wasn’t how it felt in the original novel! Was it written like this?

Seeing Ye Chen fumbling, unable to speak clearly, Gu Xiyue grew even more suspicious.

Fei Yangyao was screaming inside. He feared Ye Chen might lose control in his emotions and accidentally confess everything he’d done behind the scenes.

So Fei Yangyao made a swift decision and ordered his men to jump into action.

“You little punk, get lost already! What are you all standing around for? Get over here and throw this brain-dead fool into a corner somewhere!”

This move would not only help Ye Chen escape the situation and distract Gu Xiyue—possibly avoiding her suspicion—but would also smoothly push the plot forward into the “get humiliated” phase.

Hehe, brilliant!

Fei Yangyao suddenly felt like a genius.

To come up with such a perfect solution under pressure—truly inspired.

One of his darker-skinned bodyguards stepped forward and growled at Ye Chen, “Hey punk, didn’t you hear? Back off!” With that, he led the other bodyguards toward Ye Chen, looking fierce and ready to fight.

Seeing the incoming threat, Ye Chen sneered coldly. Even though he had only just begun cultivating the Thousand Yang Divine Technique, dealing with a few bodyguards was no issue. In a flash, he knocked them all down effortlessly.

Ye Chen then dusted off his hands, sneering confidently as he walked toward Fei Yangyao.

“Ye Chen! What are you doing? You’re fired—get out!” Gu Xiyue couldn’t believe that this low-level security guard could be so arrogant and unruly.

But Ye Chen didn’t even acknowledge her warning and continued walking quickly toward Fei Yangyao.

Fei Yangyao stayed in character and shouted in the voice of a textbook villain, “What? A measly security guard dares to lay a hand on me? Do you even know who I am?”

“Fei family’s young master, right? So what?”

Right now, Ye Chen still firmly believed that Fei Yangyao had used his family’s power to force Gu Xiyue into submission.

Just moments ago, he’d seen her talking privately with Fei Yangyao at a distance, and the pained, helpless look on her face had burned itself into his mind (or so he believed).

He was certain Gu Xiyue wasn’t the type to give in easily, so it had to be Fei Yangyao using some despicable means to make her agree to be his girlfriend.

Even if the Fei family was the most powerful among South City’s four major clans, in Ye Chen’s eyes they were nothing but ants—trash that could be destroyed with a flick of his finger.

Now that the plot was finally back on track, Fei Yangyao’s eyes welled up with tears.

So difficult… it had been so difficult!

He had finally corrected the course of the plot.

Now he could deliver a few scripted lines and earn some points for himself.
