After the Harem Novel’s Female Lead was Spoiled by the Comments - Chapter 21

After receiving an internal call from the security room and learning that Zhuang Yi was outside the gate, Yan Qingwen was somewhat surprised.

“What does he want?”

The security guard in the security room said, “He’s here to return the clothes.”

Yan Qingwen was just about to ask what clothes, when she suddenly remembered that Zhuang Yi had left the banquet that day wearing the server uniform.

For such a small matter, there was no need to report to her specially.

“Just accept it. There’s no need to report it to me.”

The security guard hesitated. “But Mr. Zhuang wants to thank you in person. He also said that because he handled what happened at Auris Restaurant improperly, he was suspended. Old Mr. Li asked him to come and apologize to Young Madam. He said only after receiving Young Madam’s forgiveness can he go back to work.”

Like a lingering ghost that refused to leave! Yan Qingwen felt a faint ache at her temples.

Wen Hebai, who had been feeling bored, immediately became interested. A trace of amusement appeared in her eyes.

“Then I’ll meet him and see how he plans to apologize.”

“…”

Wen Hebai went out, while Yan Qingwen continued lowering her head to work. However, she found that she could not settle her mind.

She got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. The clean glass reflected her blurred figure. Very soon, Wen Hebai’s figure appeared below.

As if sensing something, Wen Hebai suddenly looked back, took off the sunglasses she had put on at some point, and threw her a charming, flirtatious wink.

Yan Qingwen: “…”

After thinking for a moment, she still decided to go down and take a look… Not because she was worried about Wen Hebai, but because she wanted to see what other tricks the Dragon King male lead had.

After gaining permission to enter, Zhuang Yi was brought to the lawn in front of the courtyard. There was a parasol set up here, and beneath its shade was a set of Nordic light-luxury-style tables and chairs.

He subconsciously sat down in the main seat, then leisurely surveyed the entire manor.

A servant of the Yan family quickly brought flower tea over. He waited for a long time, but when the servant did not take the initiative to pour tea for him, dissatisfaction rose in his heart.

Who were they looking down on?

Once he took control of the Yan family, the first thing he would do was fire these useless fools with no sense of judgment!

“Zhuang Yi.”

Wen Hebai’s voice came from behind him. Her lazy tone made Zhuang Yi’s heart itch as if it had been scratched by a cat.

But he did not forget his purpose in coming here. He stood up and pulled out the chair beside him, putting on the refined and gentlemanly posture of a courteous man.

“Miss Wen, please sit.”

Wen Hebai pulled over another chair and took the seat he had originally occupied. She did not even remove her sunglasses, appearing cold and arrogant, as if she did not take him seriously at all.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to apologize to me? I’m here now. Go ahead and apologize.”

Zhuang Yi’s expression stiffened. He did his best to suppress the twitching of his facial muscles and tried to put on a sincere attitude.

“I’m sorry, Miss Wen. I shouldn’t have dodged at the time. If I hadn’t dodged, the wine bottle wouldn’t have hit the pillar, and you wouldn’t have been injured by mistake when passing by!”

No one had ever brought him this kind of humiliation. Not even the women he had taken a liking to were allowed to do so!

Once he took back everything, he would definitely make her cry and beg for mercy!

In Zhuang Yi’s lowered eyes, flames burned fiercely.

He waited for quite some time, but no response came from Wen Hebai. When he lifted his eyes, he saw Wen Hebai quietly watching him through her sunglasses. For some reason, he felt disdain coming from behind those dark lenses.

His fists clenched slightly. He repeatedly warned himself that one must endure small grievances for the sake of greater plans.

Wen Hebai suddenly let out a soft laugh. It was very light, but carried deep contempt.

“Did you think I would say something like, ‘If you hadn’t dodged, you would’ve been the one injured’?”

Zhuang Yi defended himself. “I didn’t think that.”

“You’d better not.” Wen Hebai displayed her sharpness to the fullest. “I chose to become a member at Auris because I believed that when dining there, the environment, hygiene, and safety would all be guaranteed. Protecting customers is the responsibility of employees like you. If even the personal safety of customers can’t be guaranteed, who would still be willing to pay hundreds of thousands in membership fees every year? Tell me, am I right?”

Zhuang Yi very much agreed with those words. After all, if it were him, even if a single strand of hair fell into his food at a restaurant, he would have people smash that restaurant.

However, at this moment, he was the lower party being faulted, so he did not feel it was so natural anymore.

Suddenly, he changed into a pitiful expression and pleaded, “It was all my fault. Miss Wen, please forgive me!”

“Just because you apologize, I have to forgive you?” Wen Hebai’s attitude remained arrogant and mean.

At that moment, Zhuang Yi seemed to have only just discovered Yan Qingwen’s presence. Pitiful and helpless, he said, “Miss Yan, I came to apologize.”

Wen Hebai’s body stiffened, but she quickly entered a self-destructive, give-up-on-everything state.

Yan Qingwen only glanced at Wen Hebai’s back and said, “I saw. Continue.”

Zhuang Yi could not see any dissatisfaction with Wen Hebai on her face, and he was puzzled. Didn’t this woman hate vicious, arrogant, and rude people the most? Why was her reaction so calm?

Wen Hebai suddenly perked up. She pulled Yan Qingwen’s hand over, wrapped an arm around Yan Qingwen’s slender waist, and had her sit on her lap. Her voice and breath were sweet to the point of cloying.

“Darling, why didn’t you say anything when you came over? Is it because you can’t bear to be away from me for even a moment?”

Yan Qingwen instinctively wanted to get up, but Wen Hebai held her very tightly. She weighed things for only one second before giving up on struggling and even began acting along.

“Mm.”

Seeing this scene, Zhuang Yi felt as if all the blood in his body was boiling, and his breathing grew much heavier.

Wen Hebai, however, was rather unhappy that he was standing there and disturbing the two wives from “flirting.”

“I’ve already said everything I needed to say. You may leave.”

“Miss Yan, Miss Wen—”

Wen Hebai interrupted him. “We are both married people. It isn’t quite appropriate to keep calling us Miss. You should call me Young Madam Yan.”

Zhuang Yi could not say it.

He would much rather hear them being called “Madam Zhuang.”

At that moment, the butler brought over a woman carrying a medical kit.

“Eldest Miss, Young Madam, Miss Liao is here.”

The woman had exquisite makeup, wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and had waist-length blue-gray hair. Beneath her white coat, faint glimpses of branded clothes could be seen.

Her gaze landed on Yan Qingwen and Wen Hebai, who were sitting together in an embrace, and a teasing smile curled at the corners of her mouth.

“Oh my, how loving.”

Yan Qingwen got up and sat on another chair.

With her arms suddenly empty, Wen Hebai looked at the woman impatiently. “Why is it you?”

The butler explained, “Doctor Wang had an urgent family matter and asked for leave at the last minute. Miss Liao happened to be nearby, so the Liao family arranged for Miss Liao to come over.”

The Yan family’s private doctors all came from the most famous and top-level private hospital in K City, and that private hospital was run by the medical tycoon Liao family. The doctor before them was none other than the granddaughter of the Liao family head, Liao Song.

After turning seventeen, Liao Song had gone abroad to study. She had studied medicine for ten years and only returned this year. She was currently working as a surgeon at the Liao family’s hospital.

By the way, she was Jiang Yunhan’s classmate and ex-girlfriend. The two had fallen in love early at sixteen and dated for a year. Later, because Liao Song had to go abroad, they broke up.

Three years later, which was seven years ago, Jiang Yunhan publicly confessed to Yan Qingwen and began his seven-year-long “path of pursuing love.”

While people in the circle praised Jiang Yunhan for being devoted, they inevitably compared Liao Song and Yan Qingwen. Some even said that Liao Song had lost out by breaking up with Jiang Yunhan. Now that Jiang Yunhan had someone he liked even more, she would probably never find a man better than him again.

Yan Qingwen did not know what Liao Song felt about all that. She only knew that at this moment, the person who seemed to have come along with Liao Song was Jiang Yunhan.

Because she heard Jiang Yunhan’s inner thoughts. The [Comments Section] also began flooding her vision:

【Damn, why is the Dragon King male lead here too? It’s over. I shouldn’t have softened for a moment and agreed to send Liao Song here. What if the Dragon King male lead misunderstands and thinks I’m trying to steal his woman?】

[A shuraba has appeared!]

[Everyone, I’m so excited.]

[If Female Lead No. 1 knew that in the male lead’s heart, Female Lead No. 3 is ten thousand times gentler, prettier, and more considerate than her, would she get jealous?]

Yan Qingwen raised a brow.

It was already known that the “Female Lead No. 1” mentioned in the [Comments Section] was her, and “Female Lead No. 2” was Su Jinyue.

Then who was this “Female Lead No. 3”?
