The male protagonist of a sweet romance novel went on a killing spree in the world of angst novels.

Shortly after the voice message was sent, another voice message popped up:

"Voice message 3s"

Yan Ting subconsciously clicked on it.

Then came my best friend's frantic screams.

"..."

Yan Ting stared at her phone screen, feeling both amused and exasperated.

However, her best friend's antics immediately dispelled her previous annoyance.

As if remembering something, Yanting's gaze suddenly fell on the box that Mr. Chen had given her.

The box sat quietly on the table, with quite a few candies remaining since only a few had been eaten.

Yan Ting recalled the WeChat contact she had added before leaving, and a faint sense of curiosity arose within her.

It's unclear what the status of Mr. Chen's WeChat account is.

Thinking this, she subconsciously clicked into WeChat to check the newly added account.

Chen Xiao's profile picture is pure black, without a single speck of white, while the background of his WeChat Moments is pure white, without a single speck of black.

My WeChat nickname is: MWM

The black and white minimalist style looks very unique.

Yanting thought for a moment and then added the nickname "Mr. Nice Guy" to this Mr. Chen's contact information.

I thought to myself, I should treat this nice gentleman to a meal sometime.

Then she opened the ride-hailing app, paid the fare, and immediately gave the other party a five-star review.

Yanting doesn't have many friends on WeChat. Some of them she can't even remember when she added, or who she added. But the only one she pinned to the top of her chat list is Lu Huai's WeChat.

Everyone in the circle knows that Yan Ting is a cold and aloof beauty, like pure white snow, a flower on a high mountain. She always keeps out of reach of the wealthy young men who pursue her. Only Lu Huai has the special privilege of making this flower on a high mountain come down from her clouds.

Looking at Lu Huai's indifferent reply on WeChat, Yan Ting's amber eyes were immediately filled with a sense of loss, making her originally bright pupils appear dull and lifeless.

Ah Huai seems to be extremely busy lately.

Although she could understand, she still couldn't help but secretly sulk.

Lu Huai has always been a high-profile and admired figure wherever he goes, so for the past four years, it has been Yan Ting who has been pursuing and giving his all.

Even so, she was happy to do it.

Yanting understood that the one who falls in love first is the loser.

Faced with Lu Huai, she could only bow her head.

Sitting on the sofa, Yanting hugged an orange cat plush pillow, hesitated for a moment while looking at her phone screen, and then made a WeChat video call.

After the music played for a full ten seconds, the video call was finally connected.

but--

The first thing that catches the eye at Yanting is the noisy scene of a group of people playing billiards.

The video is very lively, with both men and women, as well as many beautiful waitresses dressed in clothes that accentuate their curves.

With just one glance, she spotted Lu Huai in the video.

Compared to his more formal attire, the man's casual outfit made him appear exceptionally relaxed and carefree.

In the softly lit billiard room, Lu Huai was intently playing billiards. On the table, colorful billiard balls were neatly arranged, waiting to be struck.

The man bent down, gripped the cue stick, and stared intently at the target ball. He gently pushed the cue stick, and the cue stick collided with the billiard ball, producing a crisp sound. The billiard ball rolled accurately toward the target.

"Good shot!" Yan Ting heard a familiar, carefree voice ring out.

It's Yan Xun.

That guy who always had a mocking smile on his face whenever he saw her.

Yanting had absolutely no liking for this person.

But because of Lu Huai, she always avoided this young master of the Yan family whenever she saw him.

strangeness.

Who answered the video call?

Just as Yan Ting was about to call out to Lu Huai, she unexpectedly heard someone next to her say with a smile, "Brother Huai, I heard that Miss Gu is about to return from abroad."

Miss Gu?

Yan Ting was taken aback.

The next moment, Lu Huai suddenly put away his golf club, glanced at the person indifferently, and didn't say anything. But for no reason, the atmosphere around him was very tense. Even through the screen, Yan Ting could feel that Lu Huai was not in a good mood at the moment.

The person who had been speaking immediately fell silent.

Although he still had a smile on his face, his mind was racing.

It seems the rumors were true; Miss Gu holds a significant place in Lu Huai's heart. Otherwise, given Lu Huai's aloof nature, he wouldn't have reacted with such an expression upon hearing the news of her return.

Yan Xun's eyes brightened slightly, and his clear voice carried a hint of joy as he said, "So it's Sister Gu who's coming back soon."

"Brother Huai, how about we throw a welcome-back party for Sister Gu when she gets back?"

Lu Huai stood sideways beside the table, his face expressionless, but a deep, cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Young Master Yan."

Yan Ting heard a woman with exquisite makeup, who was closest to the phone screen, say with a smirk, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? After all, Brother Huai already has a fiancée."

Yan Xun scoffed: "Just meeting up with an old friend."

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Huai, who had remained silent, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Miss Yan wouldn't be so petty, would she? Brother Huai."

Yan Ting stared blankly at Lu Huai on the screen.

This was the first time she had seen him so emotionally volatile.

Lu Huai picked up the white magnolia offered by the waiter, took a small sip, and then said in a cold voice, "I'm not friends with her."

"If you mention her again, get out of here."

Upon hearing this, Yan Ting, who had been holding her breath, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The video call was suddenly dropped the next second.

Looking at the screen that had been turned off, the woman who had spoken earlier, Lin Yue, had a triumphant smile in her eyes.

When Gu Qianqiu returned, Yanting was left in a sorry state.

……

Chen Xiao now lives in a very expensive European-style villa in the suburbs of Yancheng.

The villa has its own courtyard and balcony, and has six floors. Each floor has four rooms, and each room is equipped with a private bathroom and kitchen.

Chen Xiao lived in the innermost room on the third floor. The room was spacious, but the decoration was in a minimalist and light luxury style.

This European-style villa was not rented by him; he bought it outright.

[Host, the next part of the plot involves the male lead, Lu Huai, visiting Gu Qiu upon her return to China.] Since successfully collecting Yan Nan's "heartbreak points" last time, the system, having tasted the sweetness of success, has completely let go of Chen Xiao's behavior.

As long as the performance targets are met, that's fine.

Everything else is not a problem.

White Moonlight?

Chen Xiao's eyes twitched slightly, his dark pupils were thick and intense, and a mocking smile played on his lips.

Well done.

He used his wife as a stand-in.

Before transmigrating, all the powerful and wealthy young men who knew the nature of Chen Xiao, the son of a top tycoon in Beijing, knew that there was one thing they should never do, even if it meant being beaten to death: never provoke this man's wrath.

This man's Achilles' heel is his childhood sweetheart, Yanting.

Chen Xiao, a notorious figure in the industry who is not to be trifled with.

As the saying goes, circles are divided into different classes, and this is especially true of the elite circles, where the hierarchy is strictly defined.

If we say that a wealthy and powerful family is about heritage and foundation, then the Chen family's foundation is at least five hundred years old. Perhaps it's due to the Chen family's good feng shui, but each generation of heirs produces geniuses in different fields, which is why the Chen family has been able to stand at the top of the pyramid in Beijing for so long.

Chen Xiao started learning about stock trading and financial management from his grandfather when he was three years old. Under his influence, he learned to understand people's hearts and master business tactics at a young age. Later, during high school, he became a figure that was feared and admired by the younger generation.

But this favored son of heaven gave all his affection to Yan Ting alone.
