Today's Victory: Young Master Fei's Victory

Want me to go instead?

She even imitated a coy demeanor she had seen before and said, "And I won't tell anyone, especially Gu Xiyue."

"Pfft!" Young Master Fei almost choked up blood and died on the spot, saying with a dark face, "Is this what you should be thinking about!"

You are the female lead, after all! Just listen to yourself—did you ever hear of a female lead throwing herself at a villain?

Utterly topsy-turvy!

And now you're making threats?

"Go, go, go! Take her to rest first!" Young Master Fei, having sustained internal injuries, didn't want to say another word to her.

He first led the two of them into the car to return to the villa, still feeling speechless when he tossed A Jiu onto the guest bed.

Young Master Fei felt that this A Jiu was simply his nemesis.

This Jiang Anran was an even greater nemesis; he couldn't figure her out, truly couldn't figure out what on earth this female lead was thinking!

First, she came to the Fei family to be a maid, which sounded completely wrong from the start.

Although her previous job paid poorly and could barely sustain her livelihood, and her boss wasn't a kind person, at least she didn't have to endure the scowls of a wicked young master.

Just look at what kind of contract she had signed—it was clearly a deed of indentured servitude!

And then, now she was eagerly offering herself.

What? Was he, Young Master Fei, so charming? Enough to entice an upright and self-reliant female lead into throwing herself at him?

If Fei Yangyao were truly that charming, could the original book still make him a villain?

Even Ye Chen could only shine his shoes!

He couldn't figure it out, just couldn't figure it out.

Whatever, since he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it anymore.

Young Master Fei decided to find an opportunity later to send Jiang Anran away or slip away himself, otherwise, would he really end up having Jiu Yun bear a child?

After all, he only wanted to lower Jiang Anran's impression of him and slightly broke the devoted lover persona as an exception; if things really turned from fake to real, not only would Ye Chen beat him to death, but the Heavenly Dao would beat him to death too.

Jiu Yun was one of the keys that Ye Chen kept for his breakthrough.

What excuse should he use?

[Temporary Quest: Take Jiang Anran to buy clothes]
[Quest Synopsis: Jiang Anran's tattered and worn-out clothes are truly a mismatch for her status and standing as a servant of the Fei family. It severely damages the reputation of the Young Master of the Fei Family and the family's dignity. As the future successor of the Fei Family, upholding the family image is of utmost importance, so this shopping trip brooks no delay.]
[Quest Requirements: Purchase no less than fifteen sets of clothes for Jiang Anran, with no fewer than seven maid outfits.]

Right! Young Master Fei looked at her worn-out school uniform washed to a pale color, and the system's quest came just in time.

"Jiang Anran, these clothes of yours won't do. How can a servant of mine, Young Master Fei, wear clothes like this?"

Young Master Fei handed her a black gold card: "Change out of this tattered school uniform and go buy twenty sets of clothes."

To be safe, buying a few more sets was good; anyway, Young Master Fei had plenty of money.

"But Young Master Fei, these clothes are still fine and wearable. Why buy so many clothes?"

Wearable?

Listen to what kind of talk this was!

Jiang Anran was good at everything except that she was too thrifty. Perhaps it was because of her impoverished background from childhood, so even after returning to high society in the later stages, she still calculated every penny and couldn't bear to spend money.

Young Master Fei knew that if he didn't accompany her and let Jiang Anran go buy clothes by herself, she probably wouldn't even dare to buy a single piece after wandering around several times.

Anyway, sending her away and sneaking away himself amounted to the same thing; he didn't have to face the mess on the bed.

"Alright, stop talking so much. I'll go with you. Since you are my person, Young Master Fei, what you represent is the face of our Fei family after all. We can't go out making a spectacle of ourselves wearing such tattered clothes! Doesn't this disgrace the Fei family?"

"But..." Jiang Anran wanted to say something more, but was directly interrupted by Young Master Fei, "Alright, stop 'but-ing', let's go quickly and come with me to the mall."

"Fine..." Jiang Anran had no choice but to reluctantly follow Young Master Fei to the mall.

Today's victory: Young Master Fei's victory.

Outside the hospital, just a few steps past the intersection, the boss of the roadside supermarket was reading a rather niche magazine, ignoring the scene outside, and savoring a serialized novel in detail: "The next paragraph might be a bit heavy on the taste, please read with caution..."

"Mister, are you Ye Chen?"

A police car blocked Ye Chen, who was on his way to buy medicine elsewhere, and several uncle officers stepped down from it.

"What?!" Ye Chen was in a rather bad mood right now, his temper a bit fiery.

Well, both above and below.

"We received a call from citizens. You are arrested for allegedly provoking troubles. Please come with us."

Two police officers showed him their badges and said with serious expressions.

"Scram!" Ye Chen impatiently brushed his hand away, pushing them aside with a single palm.

However, at this moment, he felt a surging and powerful force stirring within his body, as if something was waiting at the floodgate, awaiting release.

No... was it already no good? I don't want that kind of thing to happen!

A trace of despair surged into Ye Chen's heart. He tightly closed his eyes, ignored the voices of the people around him, forced himself to calm down, and tried to concentrate on fighting this impending explosive power.

However, faced with Ye Chen's arrogant attitude, ignoring their multiple warnings and still resisting stubbornly.

After exchanging glances, the several police officers decided to tolerate it no longer.

They quickly stepped forward, forcefully pinning Ye Chen to the ground, and without hesitation, pulled out the silvery-white handcuffs, preparing to cuff him.

"Click~ Pfft pfft pfft~"

The moment the handcuffs were locked on, something unexpected happened—Ye Chen's body seemed to suddenly open a sluice gate, and a gush of blue-yellow liquid poured out like a breached dam.

Bystanders by the roadside pointed fingers: "Did you see that? That guy's lower body..." "Ew~ So disgusting."

Unable to stop the force erupting from his lower body, coupled with the mocking laughter and discussions from the surrounding crowd, Ye Chen's self-esteem suffered a severe blow.

This infuriated Ye Chen, and he struggled fiercely. However, his lower body went pfft pfft and couldn't muster any strength; his weakness wasn't well protected, and even if Tyson came, he would have been beyond saving. In an instant, he was completely subdued by the uncle officers.

"This..." The uncle officers had seen all sorts of scenes, but this kind of scene was truly unprecedented. "Clean up first, and then go see a doctor."

Inside the police station.

Ye Chen's heart was filled with resentment and unwillingness: "Damn it, damn it, damn it! How could I, Ye Chen, suffer today's humiliation!"

He never expected that he, someone who once ran amok in the Dragon King Palace and casually sent ants to sink into the sea without ever being caught, would now be detained in a police station because of a minor "provoking troubles" incident!

What made it even more unbearable for him was the unprecedented, utter humiliation he suffered today.

Rage burned in his heart, and he secretly swore that once he regained his freedom, he would make that breakfast shop owner wish he were dead, and completely make those two people who brought him this disaster disappear.

However, even so, the resentment in his heart could not be calmed.

Even he himself hadn't realized that the trace of grievance toward Jiu Yun, which had been deeply buried at the bottom of his heart, was now involuntarily welling up in his mind at this moment, growing increasingly intense.
