Chen Fan was so pleased with himself right now that it was as if the wind followed his every step. His expression was one of pure smugness.
His gaze toward Zhu Yeqing was becoming increasingly ambiguous, which made Zhu Yeqingâs back shiver.
From reading the diary these past few days, Zhu Yeqing had figured out the general direction of her plotline. It was pretty clear now.
First came the revenge, then sacrificing her body, followed by hatred toward Chen Fan, and in the end, sheâd fall in love with him. Sheâd destroy the Chen family, but also herself, ending up in a lonely and desolate state.
In the end, Chen Fan still wouldnât love her. His love was only for Lin Qingyue.
âDriver, head to Qincheng Amusement Park in a bit.â
âYoung master, the amusement park is closed.â
âNo worries, just drive over. You donât need to handle anything else. I just want to take in the view.â
Why was Chen Fan going to the amusement park? Chen Fan didnât know either. The novel didnât provide a reason. It was probably because when the protagonist was tormenting the villain, the villain just had to show up.
You have no choice but to appear.
âYoung master ⦠Iâm not feeling well.â
âEh? Not feeling well? Alright, you can head back then.â
Zhu Yeqing got out of the car and ran away immediately. She was a bit scared now. She didnât dare face it. She really didnât dare.
There was plenty of time, so Chen Fan calmly closed his eyes in the backseat to rest. Heâd just wait. In a little while, heâd deliver his lines and go home, mission accomplished.
Meanwhile, at the bar, the secretary and Ye Aotian were having a great time. After all, a woman who took initiative was hard for any man to resist.
The secretary didnât actually have much screen time. Her full name wasnât even mentioned; people only knew her as Xiao Lan. Ye Aotian didnât care much to ask either. He just felt like tonight, he needed someone to share his victorious joy with.
Xiao Lan coming along was no issue. After all, eventually, this woman would share his success with Lin Qingyue.
But the reason the novel didnât elaborate on Xiao Lan was because she wasnât a virgin.
After all, in novels, female leads usually remained âpure,â though there were exceptions. Generally, those exceptions involved a beautiful mother and an equally beautiful daughter, while the father ended up disabled or something later on.
In short, such women must be those who havenât had contact with men for a long time or something like that.
Inside the bar, Xiao Lan was a bit tipsy, but still somewhat conscious.
âItâs getting a bit noisy.â
âMhm, letâs take a walk. Where would you like to go? Youâve helped me so much; just say the word, and Iâll make it happen.â
âCan you ⦠take me to the amusement park?â
âSure, but why the amusement park?â
âI ⦠When I was little, I always wanted to go, but never had the chance. When I grew up and finally wanted to go, I felt too old for it. It would be embarrassing. You donât mind, do you?â
âNot at all.â
Ye Aotian drove Xiao Lan out of the bar and headed to the amusement park. After they got out of the car and saw the locked gates, Ye Aotian didnât hesitate. He gave the gatekeeper some money, and the old man let them in.
âSo strange, itâs quite lively tonight. Why do so many people want to come to the amusement park?â
The old man repeated this twice.
The first time was when Chen Fan came in. The second time was when Lin Qingyue entered. Having pocketed some cash, the old man was satisfied and went to rest. But soon, there was another knock at the door.
âWhatâs going on?â
âLet me in. I want to play at the amusement park for a while.â
Looking at Jin Lan standing in front of him, the old man was confused.
The old man understood the situation.
Jin Lan handed him some money and walked into the amusement park, slowly disappearing into the shadows under the moonlight.
At this point, Xiao Lan was playing around like a child. Meanwhile, Chen Fan was watching from afar. He still needed to wait a bit. After all, the male and female lead had to develop their feelings a little. Once they were deep into their emotions, heâd show up, get beaten up, and then fully embrace his dark transformation.
Yes, thatâs when heâd love Lin Qingyue with a mix of passion and resentment. The plot would become even more intense and outrageous. Kidnappings, imprisonmentâheâd be able to do it all.
But turning evil required building up emotions.
Hiding in the bushes, Chen Fan pulled out some sunflower seeds and began snacking as he watched the scene.
âGive me some sunflower seeds.â
âSure ⦠Holy crap, you motherfuâmmmph!â Chen Fan was suddenly silenced by Jin Lan covering his mouth.
âYou ⦠Why are you here?â
âI followed you because you werenât paying attention to me. Whatâs wrong? Are you suspicious of me?â
âI donât know. My father told me to stay away from you.â
No real reason, just made one up on the spot.
Jin Lan chuckled and said, âWhat are you watching?â
âTheyâre on a date. This pair of scumbags. Just wait, Iâm definitely going to strangle Ye Aotian.â
âGive me some sunflower seeds. Donât be so stingy. Let me watch too. Didnât you say that Ye Aotian is someone I cultivated? Let me see what my trainee is really made of.â
âGive me some.â
Just as Chen Fan and Jin Lan were watching intently, another voice startled them.
Chen Fan and Jin Lan were both shocked.
Lin Qingyue crouched down beside Chen Fan.
âI ⦠Holy crap, a ghostâmmmph!â
Lin Qingyue and Jin Lan covered Chen Fanâs mouth at the same time.
âWhat are you screaming for? Am I that ugly?â
