Villain – Peeking at the Diary, the Female Leads’ Personas Collapse

Chapter 70

When the news broke out that Lin Qingyue had gone to meet Ye Aotian, everyone in Qincheng was shocked.

Could it be that the rumors from before are actually true?

Many people were still in disbelief, but seeing Lin Qingyue walking out of the office with a flushed face made it obvious. Everyone started guessing what might have happened.

As for Lin Qingyue, the reason for her reddened face was entirely because of the infuriating fool she had just encountered.

To outsiders, it might seem that the two had a close relationship, but Ye Aotian was well aware of the truth. Some of Lin Qingyue’s words had struck a nerve, making Ye Aotian feel uncomfortable. He tried to comfort himself, coming up with all sorts of reasons to convince himself that she acted this way because she actually liked him.

In fact, she must like me, he thought. If she took my money, she’d feel like a materialistic woman, right? That would put her in a lower position.

It has to be that way, Ye Aotian firmly believed.

In the office’s adjoining bedroom, Xiao Lan emerged and looked at Ye Aotian.

Ye Aotian said, “Earlier, I spoke a bit hastily. I apologize.”

Xiao Lan shook her head, saying, “It’s fine. I’ve always been aware of my role. Since I chose to be your woman, I must try to accept that there may be other women in your life.”

“Thank you, and I apologize again.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Xiao Lan shook her head, then opened the door and walked out. At this moment, she thought, sometimes, men really aren’t as they appear on the surface.

Love?

Right now, Xiao Lan didn’t feel as strongly for him. She started feeling that Ye Aotian might not be as good as he seemed.

…

Meanwhile, Chen Fan, who had just received the news, nearly laughed out loud in his room, to the point of tears.

Chen Fan, fed up, decided to kidnap Lin Qingyue. Clearly, this part of the story had to happen.

When the time came, Ye Aotian would need to swoop in heroically to save the day, highlighting the protagonist’s impressive qualities.

Chen Fan would, unfortunately, end up releasing Lin Qingyue somehow.

After all, this was a storyline—an essential part of the protagonist’s journey to greatness.

[Wahahaha! Isn’t this plot just perfect?].

What’s so perfect about it? Some of the other female characters, upon reading Chen Fan’s journal, couldn’t help but fall into deep thought. Clearly, they wanted to understand what exactly was going on.

[Ye Aotian’s company had its grand opening. You went to offer your blessings, and your family even bought a share. Doesn’t this just force me to become the villain who kidnaps you?].

[Hahaha, Lin Qingyue, you better not return to the office, or else, I don’t know what I’ll do.].

Reading this far, many people became interested. Chen Fan kidnapping Lin Qingyue—does it mean …?

[But otherwise, how would he be the protagonist? Even though the antagonist kidnapped Lin Qingyue, he still refrained from laying a finger on her.].

[As a villain, he still has to play his role, but this is just a novel. If it were real life, wouldn’t it be like saying, “This leading lady isn’t worth keeping; just toss her aside?”].

Those reading this part shook their heads helplessly. Clearly, this part of the plot was ridiculous.

The villain kidnaps the heroine and does nothing, just waits for someone to save her. This storyline, frankly, was something even a dog wouldn’t watch.

It’s like those TV dramas where the heroine got taken by mountain bandits, stayed with them for half a year, and when the hero finally rescued her, nothing had happened.

Who would believe that?

Even a dog wouldn’t believe it.

Lin Qingyue sighed.

Seeing how the story unfolded, she decided to go along with it. Since there was no way to avoid it, she might as well wait patiently for events to unfold.

In his office, Ye Aotian threw a cup on the floor, yelling, “Zhu Yeqing, where the hell are you?”

Zhu Yeqing entered and asked, “Young master, what’s wrong?”

“Find me a few men, right now. Immediately.”

“What kind of people do you need, young master?”

“People who can carry out a kidnapping! Right now, I want to see Lin Qingyue. Immediately, I need to know where she is. Bring her to me.”

“Yes, young master.”

“Forget it, I’ll personally take you. I want her to become exclusively mine.”

Zhu Yeqing suppressed a laugh, trying her best to nod solemnly but still had to play along with Chen Fan’s theatrics.

“Young master, it seems like someone is already protecting Lin Qingyue.”

“There are experts at her family’s house. Bring in those experts. Also, haven’t you always claimed to be a good fighter? Don’t tell me you can’t handle them?”

“Of course I can, but if I do that, there won’t be anyone left to protect you.”

“No need. In Qincheng, no one dares to touch me.”

Meanwhile, Anna and William were packing their luggage, preparing to leave.

After seeing the journal, Anna said, “William, if you want to leave, go ahead.”

“Huh? Sis, aren’t you in a hurry to leave?”

“I’m not in a rush. There are still things I need to handle here.”

After thinking for a moment, William replied, “Actually, I’d like to stay a bit longer in Qincheng. Ye’s company just launched, and I want to see its potential.”

Suit yourself. Whatever reason you have, just stick to it. For me, Anna, my reason is simple: I need to find Chen Fan. Or rather, I need to find Lin Qingyue.

At this moment, Anna felt a bit curious about how Lin Qingyue would be kidnapped. Where would she be taken, and what would happen between them?

Intuition told Anna that Lin Qingyue was no ordinary woman.

A woman had an intuition for these things. They knew if a woman liked someone.

There’s no hiding the look in the eyes of someone who’s in love, which made Anna wonder if it was possible that the other leading ladies had journals as well. If so, how would these women, knowing the plot, choose to act?

She was eager to see the outcome.

Wanting to know where all of this would lead. Actually, she wasn’t the only one curious. Many people looked at their work and thought. Maybe they could put it aside.

Perhaps they could take a look at Lin Qingyue’s approach—frankly, just to watch the drama unfold.

At this point, it was already ten in the morning, and Lin Qingyue had been strolling around the streets for an hour.

Damn you, Chen Fan, why haven’t you come to kidnap me? I’ve been wandering around for an hour. If I walk any longer, my feet are going to start hurting. Where the hell are you? Could you be more professional about this kidnapping? I’ve even prepared myself for you. Don’t tell me you can’t find me?

At this moment, in the park, Chen Fan was equally puzzled.

Damn it, Lin Qingyue, where the hell are you?

[Is she messing with me? Where did this woman go? I’m already at the crime scene, but she hasn’t shown up.].

[Aren’t you supposed to appear in the park? I’ve practically walked this park into the ground.].

[So, heroine, could you hurry up and show up? I’m getting impatient here.].

Upon reading this, Lin Qingyue felt a little annoyed. How could he be so clueless?

You should have told me the location where I’d be kidnapped; otherwise, how would I know where to go? Honestly. So inconsiderate.

Lin Qingyue quietly hailed a taxi, saying, “Driver, take me to the park.”

“The park? Alright, young lady, what are you doing at the park so early?”

“Waiting to be kidnapped. Driver, could you go a bit faster?”

Kidnapped? What’s that about? These young people today are really something else.

Upon reaching the park, Lin Qingyue took out a mirror from her pocket and checked her makeup.

Hmm, I look good today.
