After the Harem Novel’s Female Lead was Spoiled by the Comments - Chapter 5
Yan Qingwen had always handled matters decisively. After wavering inwardly for only a moment, 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 had to make proper arrangements regarding property when getting married. As for the two of them—one was the president of a massive corporation worth hundreds of billions, while the other had a net worth of only tens of billions but more than a billion fans as an internationally famous Best Actress. If they ever ended up in court over property disputes in the future, they would purely be letting the whole world watch them make a joke of themselves!
Yan Qingwen called her assistant. In less than twenty minutes, the assistant arrived with three copies of the prenuptial property agreement, as well as a lawyer.
After spending half an hour reading through the contents, neither side had any objections, so they signed the agreement under the lawyer’s witness.
Other people had to make appointments and line up to get their marriage certificate, but the two of them took the fast-track route. In less than ten minutes from start to finish, by the time they came out, each of them already had a little red booklet in hand.
From deciding to get their certificate to becoming legal wives, they had spent only one hour in total. Meanwhile, the public opinion online had only just begun to ferment.
Both of their phones had already been blown up with calls. However, Yan Qingwen’s phone was with her assistant, and all calls were answered and handled by the assistant on her behalf. Wen Hebai’s phone, on the other hand, had been turned off. Only now did she slowly turn it back on and answer a call.
The first person to call was her eldest sister, Wen Hegu. The moment the call connected, she scolded her fiercely. “Why didn’t you tell the family in advance about something this big? Do you think just because you’re grown up now, your wings have hardened and you can fly?”
Her voice was so loud that even Yan Qingwen, standing more than a meter away, heard it and cast Wen Hebai a sympathetic look.
Wen Hebai’s eldest sister had a fiery temper. When they were children, the consequence of Wen Hebai courting death and angering her was getting a few hard slaps on the butt, then being chased out of the house. In the end, she would run crying to the Yan family and beg to be taken in.
However, the current Wen Hebai really was as Wen Hegu said—her wings had hardened.
With a playful, unserious smile, she said, “Sis, why are you so angry? Your sister-in-law is Yan Qingwen, that Eldest Miss Yan you’re always talking about and telling me to learn from! Now that I’m married to her, won’t I have plenty of time and opportunities to learn from her?”
The other end fell silent for a second. No one knew what was said, but Wen Hebai hung up with a face full of smiles.
The next second, her expression suddenly changed, and she put on the look of someone who had just survived a disaster.
Yan Qingwen chuckled softly. Sure enough, she still could not change that cowardly look of being suppressed by blood relations!
Yan Qingwen planned to return to the company and personally arrange the public relations strategy in order 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, hey. You’re just going to abandon me and go back to the company? How is that any different from a groom leaving the bride behind on their wedding night to go out and jerk—eat skewers?”
Yan Qingwen: “…”
She reasonably suspected that Wen Hebai had originally wanted to say something indecent, but because she was a public figure and they were still in public, she changed her words.
“Then what do you want?” Yan Qingwen asked.
“We’re already married, so of course we have to…” Wen Hebai’s gaze landed on Zhuang Yi, who was standing at the entrance of the Marriage Administration Bureau and staring fixedly at them. Then she intimately stepped forward, looped her arm around Yan Qingwen’s, and loudly announced, “Live together!”
Yan Qingwen also saw Zhuang Yi, who had chased after them. Aside from feeling chilled, she felt deeply uncomfortable.
Why was this so-called Dragon King male lead so clingy?!
But thinking about it carefully, she could not really blame him for being so persistent. He was a loser who had failed in the fight for inheritance rights and been exiled by his opponent. Without the ability or capital to build himself up from nothing, he could only rely on a stronger external force to make a comeback.
It could be said that “she”—or rather, the Yan Corporation—was his lifeline. How could he possibly give up so easily?
Especially when she thought of what Jiang Yunhan had said in his heart, Yan Qingwen turned to look at Wen Hebai, and her expression suddenly became a little strange.
Could Wen Hebai also hear Jiang Yunhan’s inner thoughts?
She decided to verify it herself. “Did you hear what Jiang Yunhan said?”
Wen Hebai looked slightly confused. Then she fell into thought. “Did he say anything?”
Yan Qingwen could not tell whether this was true or false. But after carefully recalling Jiang Yunhan’s inner thoughts and the content of the [Comments Section], it seemed that Wen Hebai had never been mentioned as one of the female leads.
The [Comments Section] had mentioned that Jiang Yunhan’s inner thoughts seemed to be audible only to the female leads of the original story. According to Jiang Yunhan’s inner thoughts, the reason he believed Wen Hebai would eventually become part of Dragon King male lead Zhuang Yi’s harem was because she had married Yan Qingwen and would be “taken together” by Zhuang Yi.
Thinking of this, Yan Qingwen wanted to look at the [Comments Section] again. However, perhaps because she had broken away from the plot, or perhaps because she was too far away from Jiang Yunhan, the protagonist of this story, the [Comments Section] did not appear again.
Wen Hebai seemed not to understand why she had suddenly fallen into deep thought and asked, “What did he say to you?”
Yan Qingwen came back to herself and shook her head. She decided to find another opportunity next time to verify whether she could still hear Jiang Yunhan’s inner thoughts and see the [Comments Section]. Oh, and as for Zhuang Yi, she also needed to have someone investigate him.
Wen Hebai said, “President Yan, let me remind you: you’re a married woman now. Don’t pay attention to a former pursuer in front of your wife, OK?”
Yan Qingwen gave her a light glance and said, “You’ve adapted pretty quickly to your new identity as ‘President Yan’s wife.’”
“I’m an actress. I get into character very quickly.” Wen Hebai suddenly leaned in ambiguously and lightly “bit” her ear. “Including during that kind of moment. I can get into it very quickly too.”
People said that the ones who understood you best were often your opponents. Coincidentally, Yan Qingwen also understood Wen Hebai very well. In a certain instant, she actually understood what Wen Hebai meant by “that kind of moment.”
“Wen Hebai, have some shame!” she scolded softly.
Did this person’s fans know that she was elegant and charming on the surface, but in reality, she was so shamelessly flirtatious she practically didn’t even need underwear?
Wen Hebai seemed to be in a very good mood. She changed from holding Yan Qingwen’s arm to wrapping an arm around her waist, pressing half of her body against Yan Qingwen’s. Then she whispered by her ear, “Flirt with me like this, so the paparazzi can take more photos and completely confirm our relationship.”
Ever since the confession at the banquet had been exposed, paparazzi had already been waiting outside the Yan family’s private manor. However, when Wen Hebai drove out, her speed had been too fast. Before the paparazzi could even see clearly whose luxury car it was, the car had already disappeared from their sight.
Now that more than half an hour had passed, even if they had crawled over at a tortoise’s pace, they should have reached this place by now.
Sure enough, a crowd of paparazzi had already gathered at the entrance of the Marriage Administration Bureau, all intending to obtain the first-hand gossip.
Wen Hebai did not plan to let outsiders benefit for free. For this round of trending topics, of course she had to let her own people send her to the top.
But before that, she still had to return with Yan Qingwen to “their home.”
