Elbow, Come Inside with Me

"Then go ahead and hit me. Let's see where you're going to hit."

Wang Yixue rolled her eyes.

I was so cute that if she landed one punch, I'd probably cry for ages.

"Come on, what do you want? Just tell me already."

Tang Yu shook his head vigorously, his tone heavy.

If that video got out, he'd really be done for!

Damn it, had anyone ever seen a villain survive after kissing the male lead's harem?

A cuckold could never beat a true-love warrior!

"Elbow, come inside with me."

Wang Yixue had already learned how to handle Tang Yu, and she was overjoyed inside as she grabbed his arm and urged him on.

"No... I really can't."

Tang Yu shook his head frantically. Every cell in his body was resisting.

"Don't make me get rough with you. Elbow, come inside with me."

"..."

After Wang Yixue threatened him again and again, Tang Yu obediently followed her inside.

Whatever. It's just going inside. That's still better than having the video posted.

If she really tries anything, I swear I'll defend my chastity to the death.

How could a dignified villain let the heroine have her way with him?

Hearing Tang Yu muttering to himself, Wang Yixue laughed wildly inside.

This guy really had a vivid imagination.

Wang Yixue was unquestionably one of Suhang's most refined young ladies. She was flawless in every way.

Her room, though, was another story.

This was Tang Yu's first time in her bedroom.

It was a mess, with things scattered everywhere and several pieces of clothing tossed on the bed and sofa.

Tang Yu glanced over and immediately spotted a pair of black panties.

This woman's room is such a mess. She just leaves everything lying around.

But these black stockings are nice. A qipao with black stockings? I'm all for it.

Damn, why are there fishnet stockings too? Not my thing. White stockings would be better than these.

"Why is your room such a mess? You don't even have someone come tidy it up?"

Tang Yu deliberately put on a stern face and spoke coldly.

He refused to believe it. Even the dogs back home went out of their way to avoid him.

Was it really that hard to get a proud beauty to hate him a little?

"I was just about to have someone come clean it."

Wang Yixue smiled sweetly, staring intently at Tang Yu.

"???"

Tang Yu looked utterly baffled. She wanted him to clean her room?

"Get to it. Other people don't even get the chance to tidy my room. Besides, it's not like you've never helped me clean it before. You did it several times when we were in college!"

Wang Yixue grinned triumphantly, like a little fox that had tricked a crow out of its meat.

"Just this once."

Tang Yu snorted and helped tidy up, deliberately keeping a cold expression.

It's just cleaning a room. Better than doing something else.

But can stockings give you athlete's foot? What if I catch it from them?

I'd better wash my hands properly when I'm done.

Wang Yixue had been happily eavesdropping on his thoughts, but her face suddenly darkened.

You're the one with athlete's foot!

She snorted and asked, "All these years since we broke up, have you been seeing any other girls besides playing lapdog to Su Muyue?"

"I'm not Su Muyue's lapdog. That was just an act, so I could secretly fool around with other girls. To be honest, I have four girlfriends right now."

Tang Yu knew women hated unfaithful men most, so he didn't hesitate to smear himself.

Got you, right? Do you think I'm disgusting now? Hilarious. I've spent all these years playing lapdog. I haven't even touched a girl's hand, okay?

If you're not happy, just kick me out already. Remember, a rich, handsome guy like me can't be trusted!

"Really? I never thought you were such a playboy. Looks like I misjudged you."

Wang Yixue's expression brightened again.

"You definitely misjudged me. I only pursued you back then for fun."

Tang Yu taunted her as he expertly folded the quilt.

There, you can get mad now. Hurry up and kick me out. Why are you making me do all this?

"Oh? So what was it about me that caught your eye when you were pursuing me for fun?"

"You looked easy to fool." Tang Yu went into full-on mockery mode.

You looked pretty, obviously. If you hadn't been beautiful, graceful, and well-built back then, who the hell would have pursued you?

"Hmph, you scumbag."

Wang Yixue feigned displeasure, but inside, she was bubbling with joy.

Words spoken aloud might not be true.

But thoughts never lied!

Those words—"you scumbag"—made Tang Yu's heart sing. The woman clearly couldn't stand him anymore.

He needed to find a way to provoke her even more. If she got angry and kicked him out, that would be perfect.

He had no idea how to make women like him. But getting them to spit at him? That was easy.

His eyes darted around before settling on a cute white bra.

I'll act like a sleazy creep, just being myself. Let's see if she still doesn't find me disgusting.

"Your taste isn't great. Want me to pick out a few pieces for you myself sometime?"

He brought it up on purpose, flashed a lewd grin, then turned to Wang Yixue and leered at her.

"Click."

The sound of a camera shutter rang out.

Wang Yixue sighed, phone in hand.

"Oops, I accidentally took a picture. And just like that, I've got a record of your crimes. First you kissed me, now you're doing this. How am I, an innocent girl, supposed to protect my reputation?"

"???"

Tang Yu was stunned.

What the hell? Why aren't you following the script? Why take a picture with your phone?

Wasn't the normal plot to call me a pervert and tell me to get lost?

It's only been a few years. How did you get so devious? Wake up! This isn't your character!

"Ugh, what should I do? My ex-boyfriend keeps harassing me. If word gets out, I'll be in an impossible position."

Wang Yixue sighed, her eyes curving into crescents.

Tang Yu was completely numb.

Damn it, there was no way Wang Yixue would have done this in the original story!

"I was joking. Don't do this."

Tang Yu reluctantly put down the bra and obediently folded it with the rest of the laundry.

Fine, I give up. I won't do anything, all right?

I'm done fighting!

At first, I thought I could keep my head down and avoid Ye Chen!

Now it looks like I need to keep my head down and avoid all these heroines too!

Wang Yixue happily whistled twice.

With all this leverage in her hands, wouldn't Tang Yu have to behave himself from now on?

Heh, he wasn't getting away. (¯﹃¯)

"By the way, let's talk about something serious."

Seeing that Tang Yu was almost finished cleaning, Wang Yixue said with a smile, "I'm thinking of investing in new energy. What do you think?"

Tang Yu's eyes lit up. Well, would you look at that? She was finally getting the hang of things!

Ye Chen might be an idiot, but that didn't stop him from playing matchmaker for the guy today!

That's right. I'm the villain who repays evil with kindness!

The sooner you two fall in love, the sooner I can retire and enjoy life!

"New energy? That's a great business. The business world will be ruled by new energy over the next decade, and the government is giving it plenty of support. You can't miss out on this opportunity."

He gave her an approving smile and a thumbs-up.

Go invest in new energy. Have faith in yourself. This project is guaranteed to make you a fortune.

That is, as long as your partners are decent. Hilarious. You're partnering with Fals, aren't you? That company is a complete disaster.

Once the project goes belly-up, Ye Chen will make his entrance.

I see. The plot's still on track. Wang Yixue and Ye Chen clashed today to set up their feelings deepening later.

After Ye Chen saves Wang Yixue, she'll feel so guilty that she falls in love with him. As expected of you, you dog of an author. Was this all part of your plan too?
