After the Harem Novel’s Female Lead was Spoiled by the Comments - Chapter 22

Jiang Yunhan’s figure appeared not far away, looking somewhat hesitant about whether to come over.

Yan Qingwen observed the expressions and reactions of everyone present. She noticed Liao Song glare at Jiang Yunhan before turning her gaze toward Zhuang Yi—whom she had previously ignored—with eyes that instantly became critical and disgusted.

Seeing this, Yan Qingwen immediately understood: “Female Lead Three” was Liao Song.

However, Liao Song also seemed unable to see the [Comments Section].

Yan Qingwen was confused. If letting the female leads hear the protagonist Jiang Yunhan’s inner thoughts was a “cheat code” exclusive to him, then why was she the only female lead who could see the [Comments Section]?

Was it because she was “Female Lead One”?

That seemed unlikely. In the eyes of the [Comments Section], Female Lead One and Female Lead Two were both just female leads; the numbers only represented their order of appearance. They didn’t imply that one had more screen time or a higher status than the other.

Using dimensions as a metaphor, The Dragon King Son-in-Law was one-dimensional, The Cannon Fodder Wealthy Young Master was two-dimensional, and the [Comments Section] existed above them both. Even the power that granted Jiang Yunhan his “cheat code” might not be aware of the [Comments Section]’s existence.

“Yunhan, what are you doing standing there? Why aren’t you coming over?” Liao Song’s voice interrupted Yan Qingwen’s thoughts.

Jiang Yunhan bit the bullet and walked over. On the surface, he acted casual and shiftless, but his inner thoughts betrayed his true feelings:

【The Dragon King’s gaze is terrifying. I’ll make it clear in a moment that I’m just passing by, that the female leads have nothing to do with me, and I have no intention of stealing his women!】

“Aren’t you married to Wen Hebai? Who is this man?” Liao Song asked Yan Qingwen, pointing at Zhuang Yi.

Jiang Yunhan thought to himself: 【Who else could it be? The male lead. Wherever the female lead is, the male lead follows. That’s the eternal, unchanging trope of novels.】

Liao Song knit her brows. This man was the “Dragon King” Jiang Yunhan was thinking about? How could she ever take an interest in such a shabby, lowly man?!

Her reunion with Jiang Yunhan had started two days ago with a chance encounter at the hospital.

She was on duty that day. After finishing her ward rounds, she ran into Jiang Yunhan at the elevator.

Recalling how Jiang Yunhan had pursued Yan Qingwen for seven years after their breakup, Liao Song didn’t give him a friendly look.

At that moment, she heard Jiang Yunhan’s voice: 【How did I run into her here? Oh, I guess this is the Liao family’s hospital. But wasn’t she abroad? When did she come back?】

“I’ve been back for six months,” Liao Song couldn’t help but blurting out.

Jiang Yunhan seemed startled and gave a cold response: “Oh.”

But internally, he was shouting: 【What does it mean that she’s proactively talking to me? Wait, she’s my ex-girlfriend, but she also seems to be one of the Dragon King’s women. Should I stay away from her?】

【But she really is beautiful! Ten thousand times better looking than that cold-faced Yan Qingwen. This skin, these long legs, and her aura… you can’t tell at all that she’s twenty-seven. She’s as tender as she was ten years ago.】

【I must have been blind to break up with her back then.】

【Why chase Yan Qingwen when Liao Song is so great? Good thing I swore to stay away from Yan Qingwen!】

【She smells so good. What perfume is she wearing? I really want to touch her little hand.】

Liao Song, who was about to blow up, instantly calmed down. Her cheeks flushed slightly as she thought, “Are these his inner thoughts? So he still cares about me this much.”

“Are you free the day after tomorrow?” Liao Song asked.

Jiang Yunhan instinctively replied, “What for?”

“Accompany me for dinner and a movie.”

Although Jiang Yunhan put on a look of extreme impatience, his inner heart betrayed him: 【I’d love nothing more, but I can’t!】

Liao Song then said, “Just act like I’m forcing you. It’s a deal!”

And so, they had today’s meeting.

After they finished the movie, Liao Song saw in the hospital group chat that Dr. Wang was frantically looking for someone to make a house call to the Yan family. She happened to be nearby and wanted to see Yan Qingwen, so she had Jiang Yunhan drive her over.

She hadn’t expected to encounter the “Dragon King lead” Jiang Yunhan spoke of here.

Liao Song glanced at Zhuang Yi, unable to understand why Jiang Yunhan was afraid of such a shabby man. The Jiang family was one of the three major families in K City; no matter how useless Jiang Yunhan was, he was still a Young Master of the Jiangs. He could crush the other man just by lifting a finger.

Yan Qingwen knew why, because the [Comments Section] had spoiled it:

[Don’t be a coward, protagonist!]

[He has to be. The Dragon King’s combat power is fierce; he could kick someone to death.]

[He needs to play it safe in the early stages. Once he captures the female leads, the Dragon King won’t have the resources to grow and won’t be a threat to the protagonist.]

Wen Hebai was not one to indulge Liao Song. She said, “Whether we are married or not, what does that have to do with who this man is?”

“Oh, I thought your marriage was fake and that someone else was truly in your heart,” Liao Song said pointedly.

Her statement was based on the information revealed by Jiang Yunhan’s inner thoughts.

Sure enough, Jiang Yunhan’s heart agreed with her: 【The Dragon King’s presence here must be Yan Qingwen’s arrangement. The goal is to build his presence in front of the Yan family, gain their favor, and slowly integrate him into the household. Once the Yans accept him, Yan Qingwen will surely divorce Wen Hebai to be with the Dragon King!】

Yan Qingwen’s expression was cold and overbearing: “Legally, having a certificate means it’s a real marriage. There is no such thing as a fake marriage.”

Wen Hebai took her hand proactively and smiled confidently: “We have a very good relationship and only have eyes for each other. If you don’t believe it, crawl under our bed tonight and you’ll find out everything.”

Zhuang Yi clenched his fists, while Liao Song’s face turned red—whether from anger or embarrassment, it was hard to say.

Jiang Yunhan was shocked and a bit regretful: 【They’re for real? How can two women be together?! What a waste.】

[Yuri? That’s even more exciting, right!]

[I like it. The protagonist can take both at once.]

Perhaps hearing his inner thoughts, Liao Song glared at him again before turning her head and saying, “Then congratulations to you both. I wish you a long life together.”

“Thank you for your blessing,” Wen Hebai said with a faint smile.

Yan Qingwen rubbed her temples and said, “Dr. Liao, don’t forget why you came here.”

If this nonsensical skirmish didn’t end soon, this place would truly become a “Shura Field,” just as some people wished.

Only then did Liao Song remember she was there to remove Wen Hebai’s stitches.

“Butler, please escort out those who are uninvolved,” Yan Qingwen added.

The butler looked at Jiang Yunhan, unsure if the “uninvolved” included him.

“Mr. Jiang, Mr. Zhuang, I won’t see you out,” Yan Qingwen said.

Jiang Yunhan’s mind was active: 【It’s not like I wanted to come. I don’t want to stay here and humiliate myself! Hehe, while Liao Song is tied up, I’m making my escape.】

Liao Song threatened him delicately, “Wait for me outside. You’re not allowed to leave first, or… or I’ll be unhappy.”

Jiang Yunhan left full of grumbles, and Zhuang Yi was also “invited” out by the butler.

Liao Song put on her gloves and took out her medical instruments to remove Wen Hebai’s stitches.

Wen Hebai glanced at her and asked, “You and Jiang Yunhan… you haven’t reignited your old flame, have you?”
