Villain – Peeking at the Diary, the Female Leads’ Personas Collapse

Chen Fan, currently getting a massage, had completely lost focus on relaxing.
“I encountered Ye Aotian.”
“Uh, and then?”
“I saw him seeking out Liu Chong, apparently for revenge. And, Liu Chong’s dead. Ye Aotian killed him.”
Chen Fan let out a sigh of relief.
At least the storyline was on track, and the plot was still progressing. If Ye Aotian hadn’t killed Liu Chong, that would have been a serious problem.
“But, Ye Aotian seems to have been injured. There were a few guys who fought really well and beat him up pretty badly.”
Chen Fan was stunned.
“Ye Aotian … didn’t die, did he?”
Jin Lan was testing Chen Fan, trying to figure out what role this transmigrator was meant to play. But seeing how nervous he got, Jin Lan understood that Chen Fan didn’t want Ye Aotian to die, or rather, that the plot had to keep moving forward.
“No, he didn’t die. He’s just badly injured and probably went to the hospital. If you make a call now, someone could arrest him, and he’d be convicted on the spot.”
Chen Fan looked at the phone in front of him. He understood that Jin Lan was telling him that with just one phone call, the protagonist would be done for. The story would end right here.
“That won’t be necessary. I’d prefer to play with him slowly. Torturing someone doesn’t always mean killing them. Letting him watch me and Lin Qingyue together, breaking him bit by bit—that’s the best form of torture.”
“Suit yourself. I was just giving you a heads-up. Do with it as you wish. By the way, do you really like Lin Qingyue?”
Jin Lan already knew the answer, but she wanted to see how Chen Fan would act out his role.
“Actually … I do like her, a little. Sister Jin, you know the kinds of women I’ve been around since I was young. She’s really different from them. Her smile is beautiful, and she’s stunning. Every glance, every smile, I find enchanting. I think … I’m completely in love with her.”
The massage girl looked up at Chen Fan, her eyes filled with tenderness. Clearly, she was moved by his devotion. Even Chen Fan thought he was being quite romantic. He mentally applauded himself for that performance.
Jin Lan chuckled internally.
“Those guys were sent by me.”
“Boss, what are you …?”
“Just testing his abilities. Didn’t expect him to be so capable. But in the end, it’s you young people’s business—you can handle it yourselves.”
Chen Fan nodded.
He let out a breath of relief.
That sounded like something Jin Lan would do. In his memory, Ye Aotian’s pursuit of Jin Lan was fraught with difficulties. That road was always going to be a tough one.
After saying this, Jin Lan closed her eyes and rested.
Once their massages were over, Jin Lan headed home by herself and didn’t ask Chen Fan to escort her.
“Old Huang, am I old?”
“Boss, what are you talking about? Girls in their twenties don’t look as young as you.”
“Really? Old Huang, you’ve been flattering me a lot lately.”
“Working with you makes me happy, that’s all.”
Jin Lan stared out the window, muttering to herself, “Old Huang, do you think one day I’ll become a woman who just serves men?”
“I don’t know, but I think no man is worthy of you.”
Jin Lan didn’t respond.
At that moment, Old Huang was scared out of his wits.
Meanwhile, Lin Qingyue, having just finished her work, was looking at the day’s events in the notebook.
She burst out laughing.
This was way more entertaining than any TV drama. Reading this journal had practically become part of her daily routine.
Jin Lan was logical and thought things through carefully. So she wouldn’t act recklessly.
But Lin Qingyue wasn’t like that. She’s still young. Her pride told her that no man could insult her like that. She didn’t care about Ye Aotian’s situation anymore. Now, she was focused on Chen Fan.
“Secretary, prepare some outfits for me. What kind of clothes? The good-looking kind. Someone’s going to confess to me tomorrow.”

The secretary was dumbfounded
