After the Harem Novel’s Female Lead was Spoiled by the Comments - Chapter 27

Now that Zhuang Yi had absolutely nothing to do with Yan Qingwen, Su Jinyue still felt uncomfortable after hearing Jiang Yunhan’s inner thoughts. Why did this guy Jiang Yunhan look at her as if she were a shameless mistress seducing a married man?

“Why are you here?” Su Jinyue asked Jiang Yunhan irritably.

Jiang Yunhan could not dodge her, so he could only lean against the railing. “A bar is a public place. Why can’t I be here?”

【It wasn’t easy to get away from that group who wanted to drag me to Ziyun Shanghuang. I just came here to have a little drink. I didn’t expect to run into the male and female leads even here!】

A look of disgust appeared on Su Jinyue’s face. What male and female leads? Had she ever said she wanted to be Zhuang Yi’s woman? Every single time, Jiang Yunhan tied her and Zhuang Yi together. Wasn’t he tired of it?!

Zhuang Yi, meanwhile, stared fixedly at Jiang Yunhan with a gloomy expression. Every time this wastrel appeared, his plans always fell through. It seemed he had to get rid of this threat first!

Jiang Yunhan’s back went cold under his stare, and he hid back inside the booth.

Su Jinyue was determined to figure out the truth, so she immediately abandoned Zhuang Yi and ran upstairs.

Inside the booth, Jiang Yunhan was pressed on both sides by two women dressed in an extremely sexy and alluring manner.

He was a famous handsome, rich, and devoted young master in K City. He had also once pursued Yan Qingwen in a high-profile way, so many people in K City recognized him. Ever since Yan Qingwen announced her marriage to Wen Hebai, he had been labeled as heartbroken. Seeing him come to the bar alone to drink, many people thought this was an opportunity to take advantage of his vulnerable state, and these two women had firmly grasped that opportunity.

After Su Jinyue came upstairs and saw this scene, she looked down on Jiang Yunhan even more.

When Jiang Yunhan saw her expression, his heart bloomed with joy.

【That’s right, hate me! This is a good chance to get rid of the female leads. As long as Su Jinyue thinks I’m a scumbag, she’ll stay far away from me. Then the Dragon King male lead won’t have a chance to pick a fight with me!】

So Jiang Yunhan put his arms around the two beauties and began flirting with them.

One of the women looked at Su Jinyue rather provocatively. “Good brother, who’s this little sister? She isn’t even an adult yet, right?”

Su Jinyue, who had always cared about not having an impressive figure, exploded with anger. She immediately started a sharp-tongued verbal battle with the two women, making Jiang Yunhan exclaim inwardly: As expected of K City’s little chili pepper. Her combat power was astonishing!

In the end, Jiang Yunhan stepped in to mediate. “This is the daughter of the Su family, the insurance king.”

Once the two women realized they could not afford to offend Su Jinyue, they slunk away.

Su Jinyue had argued until her throat felt like it was on fire. She casually picked up the lemon water on the table and gulped down a mouthful, only to realize after swallowing it that this was not lemon water at all, but vodka!

Su Jinyue, who got drunk after one glass, immediately became intoxicated. At that moment, when she heard Jiang Yunhan’s inner thoughts about avoiding her at all costs, she felt unconvinced and decided to kiss him.

You’re hiding from me and afraid of getting involved with me, aren’t you? Then I’ll kiss you and see what you do!

Fortunately, before she could kiss Jiang Yunhan, Wen Hebai stopped her in time.

“Sister Bai, good thing you were here!” Su Jinyue felt vexed. Had her brain short-circuited? Otherwise, why would she have thought of kissing Jiang Yunhan? Although it would disgust Jiang Yunhan, she would also feel disgusted, okay!

This was completely a method that harmed the enemy by one thousand and harmed herself by one thousand too.

Wen Hebai rolled her eyes.

She had not appeared here by coincidence. Instead, she had received news that Zhuang Yi, Jiang Yunhan, and Su Jinyue had appeared at Yiqi Bar one after another.

What good could happen with those three people gathered together?!

Worried that Su Jinyue would be like Liao Song and do something stupid in a moment of heated impulse, Wen Hebai immediately rushed over.

“Where’s the colleague who brought you here?” Wen Hebai reminded Su Jinyue.

Only then did Su Jinyue remember the colleague who had been invisible ever since she entered the bar and ran into Zhuang Yi. She looked around, then peered down at the first floor, but she still could not find her colleague anywhere.

“He—” Su Jinyue was stunned. A thought faintly emerged in her heart, but she was not quite certain.

【Oh-ho! Looks like Female Lead No. 2 has realized it. This was a trap set by the male lead. He bribed her colleague to bring her here…】

Hearing Jiang Yunhan’s inner thoughts, Su Jinyue’s own thoughts became clearer. She immediately became both anxious and furious. “They actually dared to scheme against me?!”

This time, she finally saw Zhuang Yi’s true colors clearly. She was also very angry at herself for previously thinking he was a righteous and kind good person!

And that colleague of hers too. After she went back, she would tell her father about this. She would make sure that person could no longer survive in K City!

However…

Su Jinyue glared at Jiang Yunhan and found him even more disgusting than Zhuang Yi. Just because he had decided she was some Female Lead No. 2, he had kept tying her together with Zhuang Yi. He clearly knew Zhuang Yi had improper intentions toward her, yet he chose to stand by and watch.

She did not expect him to save her, but at least he could have given her a reminder, right? If she had not heard his inner thoughts, she might still know nothing.

At that moment, a woman in a leather jacket walked over. She was beautiful, carrying a mysterious and dangerous aura, like a black rose.

Wen Hebai seemed to know her and called out, “Aunt Lin.”

Su Jinyue heard Jiang Yunhan’s inner thoughts again:

【Damn, isn’t this Lin Yixiao, the owner of Yiqi Bar?! A former retired special forces king from a military officer family, one of the villains in the original novel. She’s extremely powerful and even has an elite squad under her. They’re evenly matched with the mercenaries under the male lead. In the early stages, she ruined quite a few of the male lead’s plans. In the end, I think the male lead got hold of her weakness and set a trap before killing her. What was her weakness again…】

After all, it was a massive novel with millions of words. Jiang Yunhan’s patience had only supported him through the first few hundred chapters. He had merely skimmed the later plot roughly.

Hearing the information Jiang Yunhan revealed, Su Jinyue’s gaze toward this “black rose” became full of amazement and admiration. This auntie seemed so impressive!

“Black Rose” Lin Yixiao did not even glance at Jiang Yunhan or Su Jinyue. She directly tossed something at Wen Hebai.

Wen Hebai caught it in a fluster and discovered that it was an old-fashioned flip phone.

“Someone’s looking for you,” Lin Yixiao said, her thin lips parting slightly, her tone cold.

Only after Wen Hebai answered did she realize that it was someone unexpected looking for her.

“Aunt?”

A gentle voice came from the other end. “Xiaobai, your sister told you to hurry up and call your person back.”

The moment Wen Hebai heard this, she knew things were bad. President Yan had looked for her all the way to Lin Yixiao. That meant she definitely had something urgent to tell her!

After hurriedly ending the call, Wen Hebai thanked Lin Yixiao and took Su Jinyue away.

“Wait for me in the car first.” After giving Su Jinyue that instruction, Wen Hebai retrieved her phone from the locker. Seeing the missed call displayed on the screen, her heart skipped a beat. The frustration caused by President Yan not reporting her safety after getting off the plane seemed to vanish just like that.

She took a deep breath and bashfully called Yan Qingwen back.

After the call connected, the other side did not speak. Wen Hebai had no choice but to speak first. “Darling, did you miss me?”

Seeing that she still had the mood to disgust people, Yan Qingwen knew that she was perfectly fine right now.

“Where are you?” Yan Qingwen did not answer and asked instead.

“I’m at—” Wen Hebai looked at the bar sign. She seemed to struggle inwardly for one second, but she still chose to tell the truth. “At the entrance of Yiqi Bar.”

Yan Qingwen’s brow lifted slightly, and she gave an “Mm.”

Hearing her unsurprised tone, Wen Hebai guessed that she must have known in advance.

Rather than let the other party guess blindly and cause misunderstandings, it was better to confess proactively. Wen Hebai said, “I have to go back to rush my schedule tomorrow. I should’ve been resting properly at home, but who knew that stupid girl Su Jinyue almost got into trouble…”

When serious matters were involved, Yan Qingwen was always a little more patient. She quietly listened to Wen Hebai finish before asking, “When you arrived, you didn’t run into Zhuang Yi?”

“His ‘good thing’ was ruined by Jiang Yunhan, so he probably wouldn’t continue staying at the bar. When I arrived, I didn’t see him anywhere.”

Yan Qingwen suddenly asked, “What time did you arrive? Also ask Xiaoyue when she arrived and whether she knows when Zhuang Yi left.”

Wen Hebai did not know why Yan Qingwen cared about this, but she still gave an answer. “Su Jinyue arrived around 8:20. After going in, she didn’t pay attention to the time, so she doesn’t know when Zhuang Yi left either. As for me, I arrived sometime before nine.”

Yan Qingwen glanced at the time she received the email and discovered that it had been not long after Wen Hebai entered the bar.

A guess formed in her heart, but she did not tell Wen Hebai. She only said, “Next time you go out, remember to bring Lu Tie.”

Very few people knew that aside from being Wen Hebai’s assistant, Lu Tie also had another identity as a bodyguard. Yan Qingwen had heard that Wen Hebai’s aunt had arranged her, but she could not know more detailed information.

On the other end of the phone, Wen Hebai held her breath for a few seconds before suddenly smiling and asking, “Are you worried about my safety, Wife?”

Yan Qingwen said, “I only want to remind you of the three rules we agreed on.”

Wen Hebai stood under the lighted sign. The neon lights of the commercial street were bright and colorful, but they could not shine into her eyes. After a long while, she said with slight boredom, “I’m still waiting for my wife to come back from her business trip and properly exchange new skills with me. How could I forget what we agreed on?”

Yan Qingwen: “…”

Can you not speak without adding something suggestive?

“I’ll send Su Jinyue home first. Wife, sleep early.”

After hanging up, Yan Qingwen looked at the phone screen, which had dimmed after thirty seconds of inactivity. Her thoughts seemed somewhat disturbed.

The next day, after the industrial park’s opening ceremony ended, Yan Qingwen accompanied the provincial and municipal leaders around the industrial park. After eating lunch at the industrial park cafeteria at noon, she took a private jet back.

After returning to K City, she went straight to the company. Only at the end of the workday did she return home as usual.

Seeing the delivery box placed above the shoe cabinet, she glanced at it. Written on it was “phone accessories,” and the recipient was “The Person on Wenwen’s Heart”—one look and she knew it was something belonging to that woman Wen Hebai.

What medical equipment specialty store sold phone accessories? And needed such a large box? Unable to suppress her curiosity, Yan Qingwen picked it up and shook it.

She could not shake out what it was, and she did not have the habit of opening other people’s deliveries, so she put it back where it had been.

Aunt Lan saw this and said, “This is something Madam Hebai asked me to receive on her behalf. She said that if President Yan came back, you should take it back to the room first.”

Yan Qingwen: “…”

Take it back to which room?

Although she could not help muttering inwardly, when she went upstairs, she still helped bring it up.

She had just placed it on the desk in the guest room when Wen Hebai’s call came in. “My dear wife, are you home?”

Yan Qingwen paused and answered her. “I just got home.”

“I also just finished today’s ad shoot, but I don’t have time to go home. Tonight, I have to hurry to western Hunan to record a variety show…” Wen Hebai used a coquettish tone to describe her upcoming schedule.

Yan Qingwen counted inwardly and realized that Wen Hebai would not return until five days later.

Five days seemed quite long…

No, what was she thinking? Even if Wen Hebai went away for a year, it should not have much to do with her! Yan Qingwen tossed aside those strange emotions.

Wen Hebai’s volume suddenly rose. “Oh right, did you take the delivery back to the room?”

Yan Qingwen was just about to ask her. “I did. What did you buy?”

“Open it and you’ll know.”

Yan Qingwen thought for a moment, tilted her head to hold the phone between her ear and shoulder, and listened to Wen Hebai speak while opening the delivery box.

When she opened it and saw what was inside, her pupils shrank again.

At that exact moment, beside her ear was Wen Hebai’s favorite ambiguous, lingering tone from bed.

“My dear wife, do you like it?”

Yan Qingwen’s cheeks flushed with a boom. The things in her hands also became extremely hot to the touch. She nearly gritted her teeth as she said, “Wen Hebai!”

“Wait until I come back. Let’s try them.”

“Get lost!”

After hanging up, Yan Qingwen nearly threw the pile of things away. But if she threw them away once, Wen Hebai could just buy them a second time. Besides, they were not her things. She had no right to dispose of them for Wen Hebai, so she could only throw them onto the desk, out of sight and out of mind.

Just as she walked out of the room, she suddenly remembered that Aunt Lan would clean. If Aunt Lan saw them, she could forget about keeping her face.

So she turned back, put them into the drawer, and locked it.

Courier: You’re the person on Wenwen’s heart?

Wen Puppy, expression unchanged: Yes, I’m the person on her heart.

President Yan: “…”

Courier: “…”

The phone accessories joke comes from Shirai Kuroko’s computer accessories joke.
