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

Lu Huai looked up. "What do you mean by that?"

Yan Si smiled slightly: "Although Qi Yang is a madman, he wouldn't kidnap Gu Qianqiu, who has no grudge against him, for no reason. In other words, his purpose is to target Miss Yan."

"Has Mr. Lu forgotten that Qi Yang recently announced his intention to marry Miss Yan?"

Qi Yang has always been a man of few rules and regulations, and he likes to act recklessly according to his own whims.

His reason for kidnapping Gu Qianqiu was simply to sabotage Lu Huai and Yan Ting's engagement banquet.

"Qi Yang?" Lu Huai naturally knew about the incident Qi Yang had caused some time ago. He hadn't taken it to heart when he heard it, treating it as a joke.

But who would have thought that Qi Yang was even more insane than he had imagined?

"Does he even deserve it?" Regardless of whether Qi Yang truly likes Yan Ting, all his actions are a blatant provocation.

Upon seeing this, Yan Si's eyes flickered slightly.

It seems that Yanting still holds a certain place in Lu Huai's heart.

Otherwise, given his nature, there would be no need for him to act so angry.

Yan Xun's eyesight wasn't as sharp as his brother's, so he was far inferior to Yan Si in guessing Lu Xinsi's thoughts. He truly regarded Gu Qianqiu as his own sister, so he said coldly, "Brother Huai, we can't let this matter with Sister Gu go like this."

Lu Huai did not reply.

Just then, the operating room door opened.

Yan Xun was the first to step forward and inquire about the patient's condition.

The doctor took off his mask and said to Lu Huai and the other two, "The patient is fine now. He will stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation after he wakes up."

Gu Qianqiu was admitted to the hospital after losing too much blood from being stabbed and falling into a coma.

Although Yan Si's expression didn't change much, he still said in a gentle tone, "Thank you for your hard work, doctor."

The doctor nodded: "This is what we should do."

Yan Xun breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that Sister Gu is alright."

Lu Huai stared absentmindedly at his phone screen, seemingly lost in thought.

After learning that Gu Qianqiu was alright, he said in a matter-of-fact tone, "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

Yan Xun was taken aback.

"Brother Huai, aren't you going to wait until Sister Qiu wakes up to check on her before you leave?"

Lu Huai straightened the slightly crooked bow on his collar. "No, I have other things to take care of."

The other matter naturally refers to the engagement banquet.

He knew that leaving Yanting alone at the engagement banquet was somewhat inappropriate, but he naturally assumed that Yanting would understand him.

Yan Xun watched Lu Huai leave without saying a word for a long time.

Yan Si suddenly spoke up: "Qi Yang's plan was very successful."

Yan Xun turned to look at his older brother: "What do you mean?"

Yan Si suppressed his smile and said calmly, "After the engagement banquet was ruined, Yan Ting and Lu Huai can never be together again."

He could tell that Lu Huai wanted to go back and clean up the mess.

But it is already late.

Yan Xun squinted: "Impossible, right? Yan Ting likes Lu Huai so much, is he really going to give up so easily?" He had personally witnessed how Yan Ting had pursued Lu Huai for the past four years.

To be honest, he didn't quite believe that Yanting would give up so easily.

Yan Si smiled and said, "If a woman values ​​your status and your wealth, she naturally won't abandon you for some trivial matters. But if she values ​​you as a person, then that's a different story."

Outside the hospital.

The assistant, seeing Lu Huai emerge, quickly went to greet him: "Mr. Lu, the guests on the island have all been settled, but—"

Lu Huai got into the car: "But what?"

The assistant's eyelids twitched, and he said, "But not long after you left, several helicopters suddenly appeared outside the auditorium and took Miss Yan away."

Lu Huai's eyes paused.

"Didn't I tell someone to tell her to wait for me there obediently?" It's not like he's not coming back.

After all, how can an engagement party compare to a human life?

Before he left, he instructed his assistant to reassure the guests and explain the situation to Xiang Yanting.

“They said over there,” the assistant said, his scalp tingling, “that Miss Yan ran away willingly.”

Lu Huai's expression was indifferent. After a long while, he finally spoke: "A bunch of good-for-nothings! They can't even keep a woman."

The assistant immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at Lu Huai's face again.

But he could tell that Lu Huai was really angry this time.

Lu Huai dialed Yan Ting's number directly.

The phone went unanswered for a long time.

He'll hit it again.

Still no one picked up.

He tried calling again, but who would have thought that this time Yanting would block him?

They say things shouldn't happen more than three times, so Lu Huai sneered, "Getting tough, huh?"

He opened WeChat, intending to make a WeChat call, but unexpectedly a bright and glaring exclamation mark appeared in the WeChat chat box.

Even WeChat has blocked me.

Lu Huai was so angry he laughed.

It was just an engagement party.

Is it really necessary to go to such lengths with him?

At worst, he can just hold an even grander wedding for her later.

A profound silence fell.

The assistant felt a chill run down his spine.

Feeling somewhat agitated, Lu Huai turned off his phone screen and then turned on his computer to review the company's recent financial statements.

As for Yanting, he felt he should give her the cold shoulder for a while.

Lu Huai would never stoop to coaxing a woman; women have always been the ones fawning over him.

He stared at the computer screen, thinking coldly that if Yanting continued to be disobedient, he would find a way to make her behave.

But subconsciously, he ignored a fleeting, strange feeling deep inside.

At the Elegant Manor.

Tan Yishuang was delighted to see that Yanting had blocked Lu Huai.

"I should have kicked that bastard out long ago." Damn it, on the day of the engagement banquet, when she learned that Lu Huai had actually abandoned Yan Ting to face the ridicule and mockery of the guests, she was so angry that her lungs felt like they were going to explode.

After blocking Lu Huai's contact information, Yan Ting felt unexpectedly calm, so calm that even she herself felt a little strange.

However, she was certain that she was truly ready to start over this time.

After giving Lu Huai a thorough dressing-down, Tan Yi suddenly remembered the pink-haired man who had sent someone to bring her here. She asked gossipily, "By the way, what's going on between you and that Mr. Chen?"

……

In a swimming pool spacious enough to hold hundreds of people, Chen Xiao shook his wet, tousled hair from his forehead, took off his swimming goggles, and walked onto the pool.

The butler, dressed in a tuxedo, immediately stepped forward and handed the towel from the tray to the other person.

Chen Xiao picked up a towel from the tray and casually wiped the pink hair that was stuck to his scalp.

Ding-dong-

The system voice suddenly sounded: [Male lead Lu Huai's emotional distress level +20%]

Chen Xiao squinted and questioned, "So high this time?"

In the past, we added it little by little.

This time, the torture level actually doubled.

He didn't think Lu Huai was really in love with his girl.

System: [The male protagonist in this angst-filled novel is the type who loves without realizing it. Lu Huai does have some affection for Xiao Tingting; after all, she's been with him for four years. Even a cat or dog would have some feelings for someone by now.]

"Little Tingting?" Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow.

The system said: "[You are my host, and Yanting is your wife. It doesn't seem wrong for me to call her Xiaotingting, does it?]"

If it were a person standing here, Chen Xiao would naturally not allow him to call Yan Ting so affectionately, but he wasn't so bothered by the system.

Jealousy depends on the situation.

Moreover, he always liked to call little girls by their nicknames, such as "Zhizhi".

Before he transmigrated, he domineeringly claimed the nickname "Zhizhi" as his own and wouldn't allow anyone else to call him that.

Even Yanting's biological parents and siblings are not allowed to call her "Zhizhi".

This behavior infuriated everyone in the Yan family. Their little girl naturally shouted whatever she wanted, "You're just a pig who dares to try and steal our cabbage, do you think you're right?"

At that time, Yan Ting's older siblings almost got into a fight with Chen Xiao. If it weren't for Yan Ting mediating and persuading them, Chen Xiao might have actually been ganged up on by them.

Although Chen Xiao could defeat them, they were all family members of Yanting, so he couldn't be too ruthless.

Of course, every loss has its gain.

When Chen Xiao married Yan Ting, he endured several punches from the Yan brothers before finally bringing home the woman he had longed for.
