After the Harem Novel’s Female Lead was Spoiled by the Comments - Chapter 5

Yan Qingwen had always been decisive; her heart only wavered for a single moment before she quickly made her choice.

“We need to sign a prenuptial property agreement,” Yan Qingwen said.

Wen Hebai agreed; after all, even people from ordinary families arrange their assets before marriage. One of them was the CEO of a massive conglomerate worth hundreds of billions, and the other was an internationally renowned Best Actress worth tens of billions with over a billion fans. If they ended up in court over property disputes in the future, the entire world would be watching them like a joke!

Yan Qingwen called her assistant. In less than twenty minutes, the assistant arrived with a lawyer and three copies of the prenuptial agreement.

They spent half an hour reviewing the contents. With no disagreements on either side, they signed the agreement under the lawyer’s witness.

While others had to make appointments and wait in line to register, they took a “green channel” (VIP express). It took less than ten minutes. When they came out, each held a small red book.

From making the decision to becoming a legal couple, it had only taken one hour total—and the public opinion online had only just begun to ferment.

Both of their phones were being bombarded with calls. Yan Qingwen’s phone was with her assistant, so all calls were being handled by the assistant. Wen Hebai’s phone had been turned off; only now did she slowly turn it back on to answer.

The first to call was her eldest sister, Wen Hebu, who immediately started scolding her: “Why didn’t you give the family a heads-up about something this big? Do you think just because you’ve grown up, your wings are strong enough for you to just fly away?”

The voice was so loud that Yan Qingwen, standing a meter away, could hear it and cast her a sympathetic look.

Wen Hebai’s eldest sister had a fiery temper. When they were young, the consequence of Wen Hebai provoking her was a few heavy swats to the bottom before being kicked out of the house, eventually running to the Yan family in tears begging for shelter.

However, the current Wen Hebai’s wings were indeed as strong as Wen Hebu said.

She said with a playful, unserious grin, “Sister, why be so angry? Your sister-in-law is Yan Qingwen—the Eldest Miss Yan you’re always nagging me to learn from! Now that I’m married to her, won’t I have plenty of time and opportunities to learn from her?”

There was a second of silence on the other end. It was unclear what was said, but Wen Hebai hung up with a face full of smiles.

The next second, her expression suddenly changed, putting on the look of someone who had just survived a disaster.

Yan Qingwen chuckled lightly; as expected, she still couldn’t change her cowardly reaction to being suppressed by bloodline!

She prepared to head back to the company to personally deploy the PR strategy to stabilize the stock market, but Wen Hebai grabbed her: “Where are you going?”

“Back to the company,” Yan Qingwen said.

“Today is our wedding day. If you just dump me to go back to the office, how is that any different from a groom leaving his bride on their wedding night to go out and… eat street food?”

Yan Qingwen: “…”

She reasonably suspected that Wen Hebai originally intended to say something “unhealthy,” but because she was a public figure in a public place, she changed her wording.

“Then what do you want?” Yan Qingwen asked.

“We’re married, so of course we’re going to…” Wen Hebai’s gaze landed on Zhuang Yi, who was standing at the entrance of the Marriage Bureau staring dead at them. Then, she intimately stepped forward to hook her arm into Yan Qingwen’s and announced loudly, “Live together!”

Yan Qingwen also saw Zhuang Yi, who had followed them. Beyond the shiver down her spine, she felt a profound sense of discomfort.

How was this “Dragon King” protagonist so persistent?!

But on second thought, it wasn’t strange that he was so obsessed. He was a loser who had failed to seize the inheritance and was banished by his rivals. Lacking the ability or capital to start from scratch, he could only rely on a stronger external force to make a comeback.

One could say that “she”—the Yan family—was his life-saving straw. How could he possibly give up so easily!

Specifically thinking about what Jiang Yunhan had said in his heart, Yan Qingwen turned to look at Wen Hebai, her expression suddenly becoming a bit strange: Could it be that Wen Hebai can also hear Jiang Yunhan’s inner voice?

She decided to verify it personally: “Did you hear what Jiang Yunhan said?”

Wen Hebai looked a bit confused, then fell into thought: “Did he say anything?”

Yan Qingwen couldn’t tell if she was being genuine or not. However, carefully recalling Jiang Yunhan’s thoughts and the content of the [Comments Section], it didn’t seem to have mentioned that Wen Hebai was also a female lead.

The [Comments Section] mentioned that Jiang Yunhan’s inner voice could seemingly only be heard by the female leads of the original work. According to Jiang Yunhan’s thoughts, he believed Wen Hebai eventually became part of the Dragon King Zhuang Yi’s harem because after marrying Yan, she was “eaten together” by Zhuang Yi.

Thinking of this, Yan Qingwen wanted to check the [Comments Section] again. However, perhaps because she had broken away from the plot or was too far from the story’s protagonist, Jiang Yunhan, the [Comments Section] did not reappear.

Wen Hebai didn’t seem to understand why she suddenly fell into deep thought and asked: “What did he say to you?”

Yan Qingwen snapped out of it and shook her head, deciding to find another opportunity to verify if she could still hear Jiang Yunhan’s thoughts and the [Comments Section]. Oh, and regarding Zhuang Yi, it was also necessary to have someone look into him.

Wen Hebai said, “President Yan, let me remind you: you are now a married woman. Don’t pay attention to a former pursuer right in front of your wife, okay?”

Yan Qingwen gave her a fleeting glance and said, “You’ve adapted quite quickly to your new identity as ‘President Yan’s Wife’!”

“I’m an actress; I enter character the fastest.” Wen Hebai suddenly “nibbled” her ear suggestively, whispering, “Including at that time, I can enter character very quickly, too.”

It is said that the person who knows you best is often your rival. Coincidentally, Yan Qingwen knew Wen Hebai very well. For a split second, she actually caught the meaning of “that time” Wen Hebai mentioned.

“Wen Hebai, have some shame!” she chided softly.

Did this woman’s fans know she was the type who appeared elegant and charming on the outside, but was actually so “wild” she’d throw her dignity (and her underwear) out the window?

Wen Hebai seemed to be in a great mood. She changed her posture from holding Yan Qingwen’s arm to putting her arm around her waist, their bodies pressed halfway together as she whispered in her ear: “Just flirt with me like this so the paparazzi can take more photos and completely solidify our relationship.”

From the moment the confession at the banquet was leaked, paparazzi had been camping outside the Yan family’s private manor. However, when Wen Hebai drove out, she was going too fast; before the paparazzi could see whose luxury car it was, it had already vanished from their sight.

Now that over half an hour had passed, even at a snail’s pace, they should have crawled their way here.

Indeed, the entrance of the Marriage Bureau was already crowded with paparazzi looking to get first-hand gossip.

Wen Hebai didn’t intend to let outsiders profit; for this wave of trending searches, she naturally wanted her own people to send her to the top.

But before that, she still had to go back to “their home” with Yan Qingwen.
