After the Harem Novel’s Female Lead was Spoiled by the Comments - Chapter 9

Yan Qingwen braced herself, poured the body lotion into her palm, rubbed it evenly, and then applied it to Wen Hebai’s arm.

Wen Hebai said, “President Yan, body lotion should be applied from bottom to top.”

Yan Qingwen: “…”

Wen Hebai added, “Oh, right. Remember to massage it in, or it won’t absorb properly.”

Yan Qingwen endured it again and again. She poured the body lotion onto the back of Wen Hebai’s knee and began rubbing it in.

The cool body lotion was gradually absorbed by the skin, and together with Yan Qingwen’s neither-light-nor-heavy massage, it gave Wen Hebai an extremely comfortable feeling. She closed her eyes, her face full of enjoyment.

Of course, she did not forget the condition behind Yan Qingwen applying body lotion for her. “What did President Yan come to me for?”

“Do you have any schedules recently?” Yan Qingwen multitasked, applying lotion for her while thinking about other matters.

“I originally did, but we just got married. At the very least, I should get three days of marriage leave, right? So I pushed back my schedule and can rest for three days.”

The corner of Yan Qingwen’s mouth twitched. In the entertainment industry, only a little princess like Wen Hebai would dare to be so willful and throw her weight around like that. If it were any other artist, even if they were not blacklisted, they would definitely attract plenty of criticism.

Thinking of how her assistant Xiao Chen had also mentioned marriage leave, the thought Should I also take three days of marriage leave? flashed through Yan Qingwen’s mind. However, she quickly pressed it back down.

“Then that’s perfect. Go meet Xiaoyue tomorrow and buy a few insurance policies from her,” Yan Qingwen said.

Wen Hebai asked, “Huh? What kind of insurance needs me to personally go and buy it from her?”

Yan Qingwen could not tell her the truth—that she suspected Zhuang Yi or Jiang Yunhan might make a move on Su Jinyue. She could only say, “I recently heard some rumors. Someone is specifically targeting and approaching the young ladies of K City’s elite families. Xiaoyue is straightforward and simple-minded, and recently, she’s been worrying about her insurance work. It would be very easy for someone to take advantage of her vulnerable state… especially men.”

“That little chili pepper is simple-minded?” Wen Hebai scoffed. “That temper and personality are practically the perfect example of a spoiled rich young lady. But she really is stupid.”

Yan Qingwen pinched her thigh hard.

Wen Hebai sucked in a breath from the pain, endured it, then deliberately let out a coquettish moan. “Darling, keep going. Harder.”

Yan Qingwen: “…”

Shameless enough to kill someone.

Wen Hebai compromised. “For the sake of you lowering yourself to personally come and ask me for help, I’ll agree. I’ll go meet her tomorrow.”

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Yan Qingwen immediately withdrew her hand.

Wen Hebai sat up in shock. “Yan Qingwen, aren’t you being way too utilitarian?! You use someone up and immediately toss them aside. You haven’t even applied lotion to my inner thighs yet!”

Yan Qingwen’s cheeks were faintly red. Whether it was from heat or embarrassment was unclear. She shot Wen Hebai a glare. “Apply it yourself in such a sensitive area.”

The corners of Wen Hebai’s lips curved slightly, and she put on a seductive, alluring expression. “How do you know I’m very sensitive there?”

Yan Qingwen opened her mouth to explain, but she also knew that no matter how she explained, Wen Hebai would twist her meaning. She simply pretended not to hear it and prepared to get off the bed and leave.

She had only just moved one leg when Wen Hebai immediately hooked her with her own leg. Taking advantage of Yan Qingwen losing her balance, she reached out, pulled her into her arms, and held her tightly.

Warm, damp breath brushed against Yan Qingwen’s ear. Her arms were propped on either side of Wen Hebai’s body as she tried hard to steady her slightly weakening body. She subconsciously swallowed and forced herself to stay calm. “What are you doing?”

“Why don’t I apply body lotion for you too?” Wen Hebai’s gaze landed on Yan Qingwen’s collarbone.

Although Yan Qingwen dressed like a strong career woman all day long, her figure was actually excellent. Especially her collarbones—saying they were delicate enough to hold coins was not enough to describe how exquisite they were.

If Wen Hebai could pour a little wine there and take a few small sips, she would definitely be drunk for days.

Perhaps Wen Hebai’s gaze was too heated, or perhaps their posture was far too ambiguous, but Yan Qingwen struggled free and quickly got off the bed. “No need. I’ll apply it myself after I shower.”

After saying that, she quickly left the room, where the temperature seemed to be gradually rising.

Hurrying back to her own room, Yan Qingwen hid in the bathroom and splashed some cold water on herself to cool the heat on her face.

Just now, she had almost reacted…

It was too shameful. How could she react because of Wen Hebai’s teasing? If Wen Hebai found out, she would definitely make a huge fuss about it.

Forcing herself to push all those messy thoughts out of her mind, Yan Qingwen gathered her emotions before finally showering and going to sleep.

Early the next morning, after eating the breakfast prepared by the housekeeper, Yan Qingwen was about to return to the company for the morning meeting. Just as she was about to leave, Wen Hebai finally came downstairs, yawning.

Seeing the surprised look in the housekeeper’s eyes, Yan Qingwen realized that the housekeeper might still not know what had happened yesterday. She said, “Aunt Lan, this is my wife, Wen Hebai. Starting today, she will be living with me.”

Housekeeper Aunt Lan came back to herself.

Of course she knew Wen Hebai. After all, this was a popular female celebrity known to every household, and she had recently won the Best Actress crown. She was currently at the height of her fame.

However, as a housekeeper in the Yan family, the most important thing was to control one’s eyes and mouth. One should not entertain thoughts one should not have, should not ask blindly about things one should not know, and should not let curiosity cause trouble. Therefore, she could only do her best to remain calm.

“Understood, President Yan.” Aunt Lan looked at Wen Hebai. “Madam, what would you like for breakfast? I’ll prepare it.”

“Aunt Lan, just call me Hebai.” As Wen Hebai spoke, she walked toward Yan Qingwen. “Darling, aren’t you going to give me a goodbye kiss?”

Yan Qingwen: “…”

This person really knew how to push further after gaining an inch.

Since Yan Qingwen did not move, Wen Hebai had no choice but to take the initiative. She leaned over, and a light, dragonfly-touching-the-water kiss landed on Yan Qingwen’s cheek.

It was as though an electric current shot through Yan Qingwen’s body, leaving her whole body numb and tingling.

She pressed her lips together, her expression serious. “Remember your task today.”

After saying that, she hurried out the door. Seeing that her back even looked somewhat flustered, Wen Hebai could not help laughing aloud, which earned her an angry glare from Yan Qingwen as she turned back.

…

Ever since announcing her marriage yesterday, Yan Qingwen had been unreachable. As soon as she arrived at the company, she was surrounded so tightly by the media waiting at the entrance that not even water could get through. Even with her four bodyguards and the company’s security guards working together, they still could not completely separate the reporters from her.

Seeing this, Yan Qingwen could only say, “It is inconvenient for me to answer questions about my private life. However, Yan Corporation has a high-tech industrial park opening soon, and I will be attending the opening ceremony. If everyone would like to interview me, you may contact our publicity department. We will issue invitations at our discretion.”

Only after hearing her say this did the reporters stop blocking the road completely, allowing her to enter the company smoothly and start the morning meeting.

Yan Corporation had made its fortune through trade, processing, and manufacturing. It had spent ten years establishing its first copper manufacturing industrial park. Now, it had grown into a super enterprise holding more than a dozen mines and over forty industrial parks, with revenue surpassing eight hundred billion yuan. Its fields included new metallic materials, electronic information, renewable resources, non-metallic materials, technological innovation, as well as the cultural media and jade industries that Yan Qingwen had developed in recent years.

It could be said that the key to Yan Corporation’s development lay in its capabilities in funds, technology, equipment, materials, and talent. Yan Qingwen’s private life would only have some impact on the financial side. Therefore, as long as they could stabilize the shareholders, there would not be too much of a problem.

Similarly, compared to Yan Qingwen’s private life, the shareholders cared more about the group’s development.

Whether Yan Qingwen was going to get engaged to Jiang Yunhan or marry Wen Hebai, as long as it did not cause problems such as partner companies withdrawing investment, then it was a minor issue.

The morning meeting lasted three hours. By the time it ended, it was already lunchtime.

Yan Qingwen remembered the “task” she had given Wen Hebai, so she called her to ask about the progress.

The call connected. Before Yan Qingwen could speak, Su Jinyue’s anxious voice came from the other end.

“Sister Yan, Sister Bai is injured. She’s at the hospital!”

Yan Qingwen’s heart skipped a beat.
