Saving the Second Male Lead: What to Do When You Enter a Domineering Boss's Novel

Zhuang Qianchen brought a few assistants with a stretcher and carried Moga Xianer into the living room.

Luo Xin followed her upstairs to see what was happening. Ai Fan wanted to call her, but was stopped by Nangong Xianyue.

"Talk about it, Evan."

Several people sat down on the sofa, and the servants poured juice and drinks on the coffee table.

"What do you want to talk about?" Ivan asked coldly.

"She told us everything that happened between you and Rosin."

Qiao Yisha was furious. "When she gave birth to Eden, you were so busy that you didn't even take care of her postpartum depression. Then you kept using the child to pressure her and even had a miscarriage. This wasn't her original intention. How could you treat her like this? Do you really think there's no one left in the Qiao family?"

Ai Fan clenched his fists. "...I've been trying to make amends since I found out about the postpartum depression. As for the miscarriage, I was so angry at the time that I didn't really mean it. I know Luo Xin is just mean-spirited and wouldn't do anything like that, so I still care about her and take care of her."

"Whether you meant it or not, you can't take back what you said and did. Luo Xin is very resistant to you now, even more so than when you first got married."

"I will seek redemption from her, but what about her and Mogaxianer?" Ivan pointed at the stairs. "Now I'm still here, and she followed him upstairs. I'm also injured."

Qiao Yisha gritted her teeth and said, "Serves you right!"

Nangong Xianyue also shook her head, "This is the difference between you and Moga Xianer."

"What do you mean?"

"Luo Xin tried to stop the fight, but Moga Xian'er held back to avoid accidentally hurting Luo Xin. You knew Luo Xin was behind him, but you still kicked her regardless, knocking her to the ground with you."

Although Ai Fan was in the dark as he was involved in the matter, he, as an outsider, saw everything clearly.

Zhuang Qianchen was treating Moga Xianer's injuries, and Luo Xin went downstairs first.

As soon as Ai Fan saw her, he strode over and said, "Luo Xin, are you hurt anywhere? I'm sorry, I just..."

"Get out of here." Luo Xin pushed him away.

Qiao Yisha helped her sit down and looked left and right. "Did you fall anywhere just now? Let's call a female doctor to check you out."

"No need, Isa. I'm not hurt. Mogaxianer reacted quickly and protected me."

Ivan stood aside in frustration, feeling empty inside, as if he was about to lose something.

"Let's get a divorce, Evan." Luo Xin said calmly.

"What are you talking about? Divorce?" Ivan thought he had misheard. "No way, Luo Xin, I won't agree to it."

"I won't go with you if you don't agree."

"The king is only widowed, not divorced."

"Do you mean to kill me?" Luo Xin asked him.

"That's not what I meant, Luo Xin. There has never been a precedent of divorce in the royal family of Middle-earth, and the same is true for me."

"But I don't want to face you for even a day, Evan. Let's break up before I completely hate you. It's better for both of us."

"No, Roxanne," Ivan pulled her, his fingers trembling. "Roxanne, don't leave me. Tell me if I did something wrong and I'll change. I won't stop you from going anywhere in the future, and Eden won't need you to watch over her every day. I'll do whatever you say. Roxanne, Roxanne, don't be like this..."

Luo Xin frowned: "I won't believe a word you say."

"I'm telling the truth, Luo Xin. As long as you don't leave me, I'll agree to whatever you say. And Eden, he's only a little over a year old. What will he do without his mother?"

"Or do you just want to be with Moga Xian'er without caring about anything else?"

"I'm only divorcing you, not breaking off relations with Eden. He won't lose his mother unless you stop me from meeting Eden. Besides, it's my freedom to be with whoever I want after divorcing you."

Luo Xin pulled her hand back and stood up. "Isa, Mr. Nangong, please help me talk to him. I'm a little tired and want to go upstairs to rest."

"Okay, go ahead, Rosine," Joysa said softly.

"I will not divorce Luo Xin. No matter what you say, it's useless." Ivan said firmly.

"We certainly won't force you to divorce Rosin," Joysa said. "You have a choice."

Ai Fan was puzzled. "No matter what you offer me and Luo Xin, I only want her."

"What about the reputation and glory of the Central Plains royal family?" Nangong Xianyue was calm and composed with a smile on her face.

"What do you mean?"

Nangong Xianyue clicked on a video on the tablet and handed it to Ai Fan.

It was a giant lion, locked in a cage and gnawing on raw meat on the ground.

"Does it look familiar? Do you recognize it?"

Ai Fan's pupils suddenly shrank. He snatched the tablet and looked at it carefully again and again: "Where are you looking for it... No, how did you know?"

"When I fell off the western cliff of Hell City, a lion brought me medicine," Qiao Yisha recalled the scene. "He understood human language, and I thought of Bo Luoxun at the time."

"Later, when I was looking for medicine for my brother Noble, I traced it back to your father Patrick. It's not surprising that I knew this."

"Bo Luoxun can freely control his half-beast gene. You only have occasional attacks, and another one simply died from overwhelm. As for this lion, he can't turn back into a human at all. In order to hide it from others, he was thrown into Hell City many years ago."

Ivan clenched his fists. The secret that the Patrick royal family thought no one knew was discovered so easily.

"Where is he now?"

"The capital of Nanzhou. Perhaps because they had met once before, and Xia Zi brought him out of that deserted cliff, he became incredibly docile towards Xia Zi, seemingly treating her as his master and trusting her especially."

Ivan's forehead twitched. How could the royal family recognize a human as their leader?

"What do you want?"

"Divorcing Luo Xin is a secret that will remain secret, and no one will ever mention it again. If they don't divorce, and this bombshell news gets out, I believe the splash it makes will be no less than the original Nanzhou news."

"threaten me?"

"No, this is a multiple-choice question. You can't have it all. You can only choose one between protecting the royal family and securing the throne, and Luo Xin."

Ai Fan looked at the lion gnawing on raw beef on the screen. His fingers trembled and he moved his lips. "Is there no other choice? I really... really love Rosine."

"Then prove it to us and give up the throne."

Ai Fan closed his eyes in despair. Giving up the throne now would be like giving up the entire Middle-earth. Apart from him, there was no one else in the entire Middle-earth who could succeed him. Bo Luo Xun was strong and healthy, but he only knew how to kill. Eden was only a little over a year old...

Once he abdicates, Central Continent will become a mess, just like Southern Continent a year ago. This cannot happen under any circumstances.

"Do you really have to force me like this?" Ivan's back bent slightly.

"I'll give you a chance."

Ivan rekindled his hope and looked at Qiaoisha.

"Within three days, if Luo Xin is willing to forgive you and return to Middle-earth with you, all of this will be void."

"it is good."

Nangong Xianyue looked at Qiao Yisha and understood her intention. She didn't want to give Evan a chance, but wanted to give Luo Xin a chance.

Luo Xin and Ai Fan have been married for several years and have a child. Only they themselves know whether they have feelings for each other. If they make an impulsive decision today, they may regret it in the future.
