Villain Marrying The Heroine Is Perfectly Plausible, Right? - Chapter 59:
Chapter 59: Ye Chen’s Face-Slapping Plan:
“Just because I embarrassed him at Chen Lang’s wedding today and made him lose face, he decided to spend a fortune hiring a master to target me! But little did he know, this injury is nothing to someone like me, Satan…”
Suddenly, Xiao Hei’s phone rang. He answered, nodded, and then put the phone down.
“Boss! Our brothers who are embedded in the high society of Nanjiang just sent back some fresh news about Xiao Mingyue and Chen Lang!”
Ye Chen’s eyes lit up. “Speak!”
“As you expected, it’s being rumored among the upper class that Xiao Mingyue and Chen Lang got married in haste. People are even talking about how Xiao Mingyue angrily left Chen Lang’s villa late at night and returned to her company!”
“So, they’re not living together?” Ye Chen asked, his interest piqued.
“Yes, boss!” Xiao Hei confirmed.
Ye Chen tried to laugh but winced in pain, his wound reminding him of its presence. “I knew it! Mingyue, your loyalty moves me! I never imagined you would go this far for me. I’ve decided to forgive you for the way you treated me at your wedding!”
“Boss, there’s more!” Xiao Hei continued. “It’s said that Chen Lang plans to win Xiao Mingyue over completely by holding a grand confession ceremony at her company tomorrow. Rumor has it, he’s going to present her with a diamond necklace worth 200 million yuan!”
“The Heart of the Red Whale?” Ye Chen asked, a wicked grin forming on his face.
“Yes, exactly!” Xiao Hei replied.
Ye Chen tried to laugh again, but the pain in his wound forced him to stop. “Hahaha… ow!”
The force of his laughter caused his wound to open, and he began to bleed. Xiao Hei quickly called out, “Nurse, stop the bleeding!”
But Ye Chen waved it off. “No need! This is nothing! I was wondering how I could get back at Chen Lang for the humiliation he caused me at the wedding, and now the opportunity has fallen into my lap!”
Xiao Hei looked confused. “Boss, what do you mean?”
Ye Chen’s smile widened. “The ‘Heart of the Red Whale’ that Chen Lang has is a fake! The real ‘Heart of the Red Whale’ is actually in my possession!”
He chuckled: “Chen Lang, that idiot! He doesn’t even realize he bought a counterfeit! And now he plans to give it to Xiao Mingyue? Imagine the scene when I expose him tomorrow, revealing that the necklace he’s giving her is a fake!”
Xiao Hei’s eyes gleamed: “That would be perfect, boss! It’ll make Chen Lang lose face completely… But, boss, what about your injury?”
Ye Chen dismissed the concern, “My ‘Jiutian Longxun’ will help me recover quickly. It’s not a problem. Go and handle my discharge papers! Tomorrow, I’m going to ensure Chen Lang’s complete disgrace!”
The flame of revenge burned brightly in Ye Chen’s eyes. He muttered to himself, “Chen Lang made me suffer today, but tomorrow, I’ll repay him double and humiliate him in front of everyone!”

That night, the city was quiet.
On the top floor of Mingyue Clothing Company, Xiao Mingyue’s office had a section designed as a bedroom, where she stayed during busy periods.
At this moment, she was lying in bed, hesitating as she stared at her phone. After a moment of deliberation, she sent a message to Chen Lang.
“Husband, I’m sorry. I was just a little scared earlier. Can you give me some time?”
After a short wait, Chen Lang replied.
“Mingyue, I understand! I know you hate me! You don’t like me, so don’t force it, because I hate forcing myself too! You don’t know how much my heart hurt when you left! Watching you walk away, my heart shattered into 285 pieces, scattering on the ground, impossible to pick up again.”
“On this sleepless night, I can only gaze at the moon and think of you. But it’s not the moon I see, it’s the memories we made together! I drink wine with the moon, but it’s not wine, it’s the thoughts of you!”
“Mingyue! I miss you so much!!!”
Xiao Mingyue read Chen Lang’s reply, feeling a wave of exasperation.
“Why does it sound like I’ve left forever, like I’ve gone to another world? I’m very much alive!”
“And where did he learn to write such sappy, melodramatic lines? Heartache? Sadness? I saw him laughing when I left—don’t think I don’t know! This guy really gets into character wherever he is!”
Annoyed, Xiao Mingyue sent Chen Lang an emoji of Mammy Rong shooting with a machine gun.
After waiting a while and seeing that he didn’t reply, she tossed her phone aside and slipped under the covers to sleep.
Even in her dreams, she seemed to be gritting her teeth, clearly irritated by how good Chen Lang was at playing his part.

The next morning, the sun shone brightly.
In the small square in front of Mingyue Company, a crowd began to gather.
At the center stood Chen Lang, dressed in an eye-catching white suit with sunglasses, looking confident.
Before him lay a huge heart made of red roses. Behind him, two Rolls-Royces were parked with their trunks open.
One car’s trunk held a large, gift-wrapped box, while the other car had a high-powered speaker, repeatedly blaring the words, “Chen Lang will always love Xiao Mingyue!”
It was still early, and the surrounding office buildings hadn’t started their workday yet.
White-collar workers, passing by on their way to breakfast or carrying breakfast to their offices, couldn’t help but stop and gather around.
Many pulled out their phones, snapping pictures and posting them to social media, while others whispered excitedly about the spectacle unfolding before them.
