Villain: Young Lady, You Must Want Revenge Too - Chapter 9:

Chapter 9: You Even Played Until Your Shoes Were Lost?

Mo Cinian leaned close to the girl’s ear and whispered softly, a mischievous smile tugging at his lips.

His threatening tone stunned the girl.

“You…”

She wasn’t stupid. She naturally understood the implied meaning behind Mo Cinian’s words.

This close — she could even hear his steady breathing. A strong sense of danger washed over her.

“What do you mean by that?”

Although she could guess what Mo Cinian wanted, she still held onto a sliver of hope.

“Nothing much. Just the literal meaning,” Mo Cinian said calmly, still playing with the girl’s slender, delicate foot.

He had to admit, the female lead was different — not only were her legs flawless, but they didn’t even have any unpleasant odor. That was impressive.

Truly edible-grade, the kind one could savor without a second thought~

Probably a special trait blessed by the lazy author.

“You…”

Lin Qingqiu was on the verge of breaking down. Was she really going to have to compromise with Mo Cinian?

She had thought he was just a frivolous playboy, but now she realized — he was a wolf, and he had been eyeing her for a long time.

“Can’t we… talk about it? Can you at least put my leg down first?”

“If I can’t even touch your leg, what do you want to talk about?”

“…”

“Can you at least give me some time to think? I’m really overwhelmed right now~”

Her red, swollen eyes made her look pitiful.

Though Mo Cinian really wanted to tease her further, he reined himself in.

You couldn’t just strip a field bare in one go — a little patience was needed.

Lin Qingqiu’s psychological endurance was already remarkable. Another girl in her situation — losing her family, being blackmailed by a handsome man — would probably be suicidal by now.

“Fine. I’ll give you three days to think it over.”

Mo Cinian lightly patted her thigh as he spoke. Lin Qingqiu instantly stood up from the rattan chair, a huge weight lifted off her shoulders, though she still shivered uncontrollably.

She looked at Mo Cinian with fear and unease.

This man was terrifying — like a wolf who wouldn’t leave even the bones behind once he decided to feast.

“I’ll take you back.”

Mo Cinian’s voice was calm.

“No… no need. I live at the school dormitory. It’s close by…”

“You’re missing a shoe. How are you going to walk back?”

“I… I can call a cab.”

But Mo Cinian didn’t give her a chance to refuse. He simply scooped her up in his arms.

“You…”

Lin Qingqiu struggled symbolically but soon gave up, curling up meekly like a kitten.

…

Mo Cinian carried Lin Qingqiu all the way to his car.

They attracted plenty of attention along the way.

Standing in front of the red Ferrari, Mo Cinian shook his head with a smile.

He recognized it at a glance — a Ferrari 488. Personally, he wasn’t a fan of Ferraris. He preferred Lamborghinis.

In his past life, he had been a rich second-generation heir, and his ride had been a Lamborghini Veneno — worth ten times a 488.

So he wasn’t particularly resistant to transmigrating into this novel. It was just moving from a family worth ten figures to a family worth twelve.

It was like moving from the outskirts of Rome to the center of Rome.

Actually, even the original owner of this body would have looked down on a mere million-yuan car, but to appear more ‘compatible’ with Lin Qingqiu, he deliberately drove this ‘cheap’ car.

“Vroom~~~”

The engine roared as Mo Cinian sped away with Lin Qingqiu.

In the passenger seat, the girl remained silent the whole ride, clearly lost in her thoughts.

[Host, you’re really a big bad guy. Aren’t you afraid she’ll find out the truth later?]

The system popped up again.

“Hm? Why am I a bad guy? What truth? What she knows now is the truth.”

[???]

The system was furious, stomping its feet.

“Little system, you’ve got it wrong. From beginning to end, all I did was make Lin Zhentian’s death come a few days earlier. Without Ye Chen’s follow-up treatment, Lin Zhentian would have died anyway.

You know I’m the villain — it’s impossible for me to let him show off successfully.

Even if Lin Qingqiu finds out later, so what? In the end, she’ll only have me. For kids like her who are desperate for love, I have a hundred ways to make her fall for me.”

“Look at her. Isn’t she obedient now?”

Mo Cinian smiled.

[…]

The system was speechless — terrified by its host.

…

“We’re almost at the school. Let me get off here. It wouldn’t be good if someone saw us,” Lin Qingqiu urged.

Although she had been the Lin family’s heiress, she usually kept a low profile. Hardly anyone knew her true identity.

If someone saw her getting out of a luxury car, there would definitely be rumors.

“Heh… how are you going to get down without shoes? Walk barefoot? That would be even more embarrassing.”

Mo Cinian’s voice was gentle and reassuring.

Lin Qingqiu, emotionally battered throughout the day, was desperate for a sense of security. Hearing Mo Cinian’s comforting tone, her tangled emotions became even more chaotic.

“I… I called my best friend earlier. She’s bringing me some shoes.”

The car stopped by the roadside.

Although Mo Cinian didn’t care for this Ferrari 488, it was still an eye-catching supercar for ordinary people.

Fortunately, it was nighttime, so there weren’t many pedestrians.

Lin Qingqiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, her phone rang.

“Hello? Qingqiu, where are you? I’m at the gate. Can you see me?”

“…”

Of course she could see.

That woman at the school gate wildly waving a bag — who else could it be?

“Uh… Momo, don’t be so dramatic. I see you…”

“Where are you, then? I don’t see you.”

“See that red sports car by the roadside?”

…

Su Momo soon ran up to the Ferrari.

“Whoa~ Qingqiu, you… you two…”

Seeing Lin Qingqiu getting out of the Ferrari, she was utterly stunned.

She knew Mo Cinian well — he had pursued Lin Qingqiu for a long time. There was no way she didn’t know about it.

But what shocked her was… Lin Qingqiu had actually been caught?

“Qingqiu… you abandoned me~ I’m heartbroken!”

“You… you didn’t really give it up to him, right? Wait… did you call me to bring you shoes because you guys… played so wild that even your shoes were lost?”
