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

"Damn it!" Tan Yi's curse came from the phone: "That mad dog Qi Yang is insane!"

Yan Ting, however, remained calm and said, "Don't bother with him. The more you pay attention to someone like him, the more energetic he becomes."

Qi Yang's statement about wanting to marry her was not because he liked her, but simply because he was still angry about not getting revenge last time, so he came up with this dirty trick to disgust her.

She didn't know what else Qi Yang could have done besides disgusting her.

Little did he know, Qi Yang's true target was not her, but Chen Xiao.

That day, after Qi Yang woke up, he specially spent a lot of money to hire someone to investigate Chen Xiao's background.

However, the investigation revealed that Chen Xiao was a peasant from a small town.

No one would believe such a result.

For a country bumpkin to act so arrogantly and recklessly, he must have powerful backers. Otherwise, it's impossible to understand where he got the guts to provoke the Lu and Qi families.

In addition, the person in charge of investigating Chen Xiao said that he could only find information about Chen Xiao in Yuewan Town, but information about Chen Xiao outside seemed to be deliberately blocked. He spent several days but could not find a single piece of information.

Thus, Qi Yang and Lu Huai tacitly reached the same conclusion: the powerful backer behind this peasant Chen Xiao must be extraordinary.

……

[Host, how are you feeling right now?]

call out--

The arrow hit the center of the target precisely.

Perfect ten rings.

Chen Xiao tore off the pure black silk ribbon covering his eyes, a lazy smirk playing on his lips: "So what do you want from me?"

The system slowly said: [Now there are two male leads eyeing you, aren't you afraid? Aren't you terrified? Don't you want to run away?] To be honest, it still hopes that the host can change his mind and stop going against these male leads in abusive novels.

"..." Chen Xiao pretended to ponder.

Just when the system truly thought he was afraid, Chen Xiao unscrewed the cap of a mineral water bottle and spoke the most unrestrained words in the most indifferent tone:

“Even if they’re afraid, it’s them who’s afraid of me. As for me,” he scoffed, “the word ‘fear’ has never been in my dictionary.”

If Chen Xiao were to ever act like a coward and be afraid of anyone, his former colleagues in the Beijing government would laugh at him for the rest of their lives.

They'll probably have it engraved on their tombstone even after they die.

system:……

It knows.

Now it understands.

The host seems determined to go down a dead-end path.

[Be careful lately, it seems the Heavenly Dao has taken notice of you.] Regardless, the system still quite likes this host.

Perhaps it's a case of chick fetishism; the first host they bind to is always special.

Chen Xiao's expression remained blank in response to the system's warning. He took a sip of water and asked, "What's the next plot development?"

System: [Let me see, it seems we're close to the part where the female lead and Lu Huai get engaged next month.]

This plot is a common and melodramatic scene in many tragic novels.

However, given the current situation, it's unlikely that the female lead and Lu Huai will be able to smoothly progress to an engagement.

Since the incident on the cruise ship, the plot has clearly deviated from its intended course.

The system is a bit bald.

Chen Xiao seemed quite relaxed about it. He tightened the bottle cap and slowly wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel.

"Don't worry, the plot won't deviate from the story so easily."

If he could change the plot so easily, in his previous life, his Zhizhi wouldn't have died alone on the island.

As for those male leads...

Many emotions flickered in Chen Xiao's eyes, eventually settling into an indescribable darkness.

This debt must be settled.

As for how to calculate it, only Chen Xiao can decide.

Even the will of Heaven cannot stop him.

……

After much deliberation, Yan Ting felt it necessary to personally discuss the annulment of the engagement with Lu Huai.

After all, she had spent nearly four years trying to secure this marriage.

The GLS Group Building is located at the crossroads in a bustling area of ​​Yancheng.

Yanting rarely sets foot in this place.

Every time I come here, all I get is an endless wait.

So she didn't come often after that.

The receptionist was slightly surprised when she saw Yan Ting, but then she said knowingly, "Is Miss Yan here to see Mr. Lu?"

Yan Ting nodded: "Please inform President Lu that I have something important to discuss with him."

"Okay, wait a moment."

Yan Ting sat in the waiting area of ​​the lobby, thinking that she might have to wait for several hours to see Lu Huai, but unexpectedly, she had just sat down and hadn't even warmed her bottom when the receptionist came over.

She said, "President Lu is waiting for you in his office."

Upon hearing this, Yanting was somewhat surprised.

She then thought that perhaps Lu Huai didn't have much business today; in the past, he wouldn't have had time to see her.

As Yan Ting walked to the elevator, just as she was about to press the button, the receptionist ran over and said, "Ms. Yan, our CEO Lu wants you to use the VIP elevator."

As the name suggests, the VIP elevator is exclusively for the CEO, and can only be used when meeting with important clients.

As for Yanting, this was the first time he had ever received such treatment.

Yan Ting frowned slightly, a hint of doubt rising in her heart.

Although she couldn't figure out the reason, she still stepped into the VIP elevator, just so she could get to Lu Huai's office quickly and not waste too much of her time.

Yanting's arrival sparked much gossip among the company's employees.

"What do you think she came to see President Lu for this time?"

"I guess she's trying to win back President Lu's heart? Didn't President Lu's white moonlight come back?"

"To be honest, it's difficult! No matter how good your current partner is, can she compare to your ideal woman? And I heard that your ideal woman is someone you liked since high school."

……

"Miss Yan, please wait a moment while I inform Mr. Lu." The secretary was a beautiful woman with a hot figure and a pretty face. She looked at the aloof beauty in front of her and scrutinized her without making a sound.

Yan Ting seemed oblivious to her scrutiny and simply said, "Thank you for your trouble."

"Dong dong dong."

"Enter."

Secretary Wu Ling glanced at Lu Huai as he worked, a fleeting, almost imperceptible look of fascination crossing her eyes.

"Mr. Lu, Miss Yan is outside right now."

Lu Huai didn't even look up. "Let her in."

"Okay." Less than three seconds after Wu Ling left, Yan Ting pushed open the door and walked into the office.

The office was spacious and bright. As soon as Yan Ting entered, she saw Lu Huai sitting in front of the office, dressed in a suit and tie, approving contracts. He looked like a successful capitalist.

"Finally deigned to come see me?" Lu Huai put down his pen, a hint of pleasure unexpectedly appearing in his usually cool and aloof expression.

He said that Yanting liked him so much, how could she give him up so easily?

However, Yan Ting's next words completely extinguished Lu Huai's smile.

"Lu Huai, let's call off our marriage!"
