Villain Marrying The Heroine Is Perfectly Plausible, Right? - Chapter 57:
Chapter 57: Ye Chen Likes to Eat Dog Food, So Let Him Eat His Fill:
After a few triumphant laughs, Chen Lang pulled out his diary and casually wrote down his thoughts.
(Outside the villa)
Cheng Jinjin was hiding in the shadows of the trees. She had watched Xiao Mingyue hastily leave the villa, get into a car, and drive away. Then, to her surprise, she saw the bedroom curtains—what should have been Xiao Mingyue’s room—suddenly pull open.
There, standing at the window, was Chen Lang, topless, with only a bath towel wrapped around his waist.
What was going on?
Cheng Jinjin’s curiosity was piqued.
She felt frustrated, as if she had been left hanging, having missed the crucial part of the drama.
It was like biting into a melon only to realize there was no juicy flesh inside—just the bitter rind.
Determined to get to the bottom of it, Cheng Jinjin adjusted her telescope to its maximum zoom, peering intently into the bedroom, trying to catch any clues.
As she continued to watch, she couldn’t help but gulp.
One thing’s for sure, she thought, Chen Lang was in really good shape…
She silently counted his muscles—one, two, three, four… eight-pack abs. Wow.
Blushing, Cheng Jinjin fumbled for her phone, positioning its camera over the eyepiece of the telescope. She adjusted the focus and snapped a few photos of Chen Lang.
“Hmph! You always call me stupid, but now I’ve got something on you!” She muttered to herself, still red-faced. “Let’s see how you dare talk bad about me in the future!”
Meanwhile, in the Jiang family villa, Jiang Mengyao was receiving a report from one of her subordinates. They had gathered information on Chen Lang and mentioned that Xiao Mingyue had left his house by car.
“I see. You may go.” Jiang Mengyao said, dismissing them.
Once alone, she opened Chen Lang’s diary on her phone, which had just been updated.
A smile spread on her lips as she read through it.
So Xiao Mingyue and Chen Lang weren’t really together… They weren’t a real couple! That meant she hadn’t lost yet.
Though the situation wasn’t ideal, she saw a chance for a comeback.
As she continued reading, she learned about the confession Chen Lang planned to make in front of Xiao Mingyue’s company tomorrow morning.
But since it didn’t involve her directly, she wasn’t particularly interested.
Besides, the pressure on her family was mounting, and she had been busy selling and transferring assets. There was no time for such trivial matters.
Meanwhile, the car that had picked up Xiao Mingyue was cruising smoothly under the streetlights, making its way to the company.
It turned out to be Xiao Mingyue’s secretary, Xiao Qing, who was driving.
She had rushed over after receiving an urgent call from her boss. Although Xiao Qing was curious about what had happened between Xiao Mingyue and Chen Lang at the villa, she wisely kept her questions to herself, focusing on the road instead.
Xiao Mingyue sat in the passenger seat, gazing out at the night lights of Nanjiang City, trying to calm her thoughts.
She had already returned to her composed, aloof demeanor, as if she hadn’t just been thrown onto a bed by Chen Lang minutes earlier.
Back in the bedroom, she had resisted Chen Lang, confident that he wouldn’t really go through with anything. But she hadn’t expected him to use some sort of drug to enhance the illusion.
Recalling Chen Lang’s red eyes and irrational behavior, Xiao Mingyue still felt a bit shaken.
If she hadn’t tricked him into taking a shower, who knew what might had happened?
As she pondered, she noticed that Chen Lang’s villain diary had been updated again.
At this hour?
She felt a twinge of unease.
Was Chen Lang really in the mood to write a diary right now?
A bad feeling crept over her.
When she opened the diary and began to read, a few black lines of frustration appeared on her forehead:
[Hahaha, Xiao Mingyue, that little fool, thinks she can outsmart me? Impossible!]
[She may have kept her cool, but I had a backup plan!]
[As I passed by the kitchen, I had a sudden idea—I rubbed onion juice on my hands! Then I gave her the red-eye special effect!]
[At that moment, Xiao Mingyue was so scared, hahaha!]
[I have to admit, this onion was really strong. I’m crying as I write this diary—Chen Lang’s villain diary is so touching, woo woo woo.]
[Hahaha, Xiao Mingyue actually thinks she can compete with me in acting? She’s a million points behind!]
[My wisdom is unparalleled. Tomorrow’s scene with the necklace can be replayed perfectly. Woohoo!]
Xiao Mingyue finished reading and sighed, exasperated. The red-eye effect… was because of onions?
She recalled the moment when Chen Lang threw her onto the bed—there had been a subtle movement, like he was touching his eyes. This guy… he was so cunning!
He had fooled her into thinking he had taken some sort of powerful drug, making her genuinely afraid. She felt a wave of irritation. She fell for his tricks again!
Xiao Mingyue leaned against the car window, feeling a bit worn out.
Chen Lang was completely absorbed in his plot, and nothing could sway him.
Resigning herself, she thought: “Fine. If he enjoys acting, I’ll just play along with him.”
Tomorrow, Chen Lang would be confessing to her in front of the company. Ye Chen would likely show up to cause trouble.
Xiao Mingyue couldn’t predict what Ye Chen would do, but one thing was certain—since he liked to feed off drama, she’d make sure he got more than enough of it.
