After the divorce, the aloof female CEO was filled with regret.

I was still weak and unable to break free from her hold, so I simply gave up struggling.

"I remember you used to be very arrogant, not as shameless as you are now."

Jiang Yuwei wrapped her delicate arms tightly around my waist. "You used to love me a lot, unlike how indifferent you are now."

"..."

"Ye Qiu," Jiang Yuwei kissed my neck, "I'll get revenge for you, don't take it out on me, okay?"

Her voice remained low and indifferent, but there was always a hint of grievance in her tone, as if I had done something to her.

The man she dotes on almost killed me several times. I didn't kill him on the spot, but waited until I had gathered evidence before taking revenge. I was already being very lenient.

I was incredibly annoyed. "Didn't he keep shouting that he was the male lead and I was some kind of villainous supporting character? If the supporting character is with the female lead, in your words, the world is in chaos and will be destroyed."

"And besides, don't you need to protect him anymore? Are you really willing to go against him for my sake?"

In the dim light, Jiang Yuwei suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze unreadable.

She didn't mention Chen Yiran again, but instead asked another question.

"You believe you're the villainous male supporting character?"

I sneered and raised an eyebrow. "What's there to believe or not? It's up to me. If my fate is to be a villainous supporting character, why should I be a good guy?"

She paused for a moment, then said calmly, "Be whatever kind of person you want to be, and I will protect you."

I couldn't help but want to see the expression on her face, to see if she was telling the truth. After all, in Chen Yiran's words, he and Jiang Yuwei both knew the direction of their fate and understood their respective trajectories.

If I were to become the villainous male supporting character, I would be standing on the opposite side of her. Instead of protecting the male lead, she would help the villainous male supporting character teach the male lead a lesson.

Is that possible? Wouldn't that contradict all her actions over the past twenty years?

But I didn't want to be face-to-face with her, making eye contact.

I closed my eyes and sighed deeply. Both the male and female protagonists have their own halos, otherwise why would I be the only one to die? I think Jiang Yuwei might be biased towards me, but she probably doesn't understand how difficult it is for someone who tries to live to encounter unfair treatment from fate.

I won't let Chen Yiran off the hook just because she said a few words to help me vent my anger.

"If you don't want to get out of bed, let me go. I'm uncomfortable being held."

No one answered, but the hand on my waist silently withdrew.

The ward was quiet. After saying my piece to her, I couldn't help but fall asleep.

However, I didn't fall into a deep sleep. I could feel warmth between my eyebrows, then on my cheeks, and finally, my lips felt itchy, as if something was constantly sticking to them and teasing me.

Frustrated, I instinctively raised my hand to slap it, but I have no recollection of whether I hit anything or not; I had fallen into a deep sleep.

Inside the room, a cell phone screen lit up, and a tall woman got off the hospital bed and walked slowly and quietly out the door.

Secretary Li stood at the door, his expression somber.

"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Chen has arrived; he's in the next ward."

Jiang Yuwei walked towards the next room without saying a word. The moment the door opened, she heard Jiang Yichen shouting in defense of Chen Yiran.

“I told you to let him go! He’s my friend. Even if my brother wanted to see him, he would have invited him politely, not tied him to a chair! His injuries haven’t healed yet!”

"Let him go, do you hear me!"

At this moment, the burly man and the others looked out of the ward and respectfully said, "President Jiang."

Jiang Yichen fell silent instantly. Looking at his beautiful yet expressionless brother walking in from outside, a sense of oppression suddenly overwhelmed him, and he swallowed weakly.

"Sister... what are you doing? It's past 1 a.m., what's the rush that you have to kidnap someone from my house?"
