The Heroine's Schemes Run Deep—I Want to Go Back to the Countryside

"I'll help you over to the sofa to rest," Tang Yu said flatly.

[I wouldn't even help an old lady, yet I'm helping you. Once I'm done, I'm making a run for it, okay?]

Hearing Tang Yu's inner thoughts, Wang Yixue smiled until her eyes narrowed into crescents.

Trying to run away? No chance.

After they returned to the sofa, she saw Tang Yu rise to leave and hurriedly called out.

"Tang Yu, I twisted my ankle. Could you massage it for me?"

"I can't." Tang Yu refused decisively.

Today, he had only wanted to lie low, get through the plot, and collect his reward.

Getting intimate with the second heroine was practically handing over his head on a platter!

"You're lying. Back when we were dating in college, I twisted my ankle playing tennis, and you were the one who massaged it. Do you hate me that much?"

Wang Yixue's eyes reddened as she spoke aggrievedly.

"Yes. So if you're really uncomfortable, I can call your family doctor over."

Tang Yu nodded coldly.

[Yes, yes, just assume I hate you. Hurry up and stay away from me, got it?]

[Anyway, the two of us aren't meant to be. You're part of Ye Chen's harem, and I'm supposed to be cannon fodder villain trash. If he finds out about this, I'll be dead tonight.]

After hearing Tang Yu's thoughts again, Wang Yixue snorted coldly inside.

You want me to stay away, so I should stay away?

But seeing how wary this guy was of some Ye Chen, she simply decided to threaten him.

"You won't massage it, right? Fine, then leave. Later, I'll tell everyone you took advantage of me."

"???"

Tang Yu froze with one foot raised, his face filled with shock.

[Holy crap, don't do this. Can't we be reasonable?]

[If you go out and spread nonsense, Ye Chen will definitely hold a grudge against me, okay?]

[I've never seen a power-fantasy novel where a villain could steal a woman from the protagonist and still survive!]

"Don't be like this... We can't go back. Let the past stay in the past, okay?"

Tang Yu could only try to persuade her earnestly.

"Not listening, not listening, a turtle chanting sutras. You have one minute to think it over, or I'm posting it on Moments."

Wang Yixue took out her phone and waved it around.

"Posting on Moments is a road to death; massaging your foot still offers a sliver of life... Damn it, I'm doing it."

After pondering for a moment, Tang Yu chose the latter.

"I'll massage it, but don't tell anyone."

Tang Yu gave her a warning, then sat on the sofa with a reluctant expression and took Wang Yixue's slender jade foot onto his lap.

As he gently massaged her ankle, Tang Yu secretly sized up Wang Yixue's explosive figure from the corner of his eye.

[When we were dating, this girl's figure wasn't this developed, right? What the hell has she been eating these past few years?]

[And why is she wearing safety shorts under that cheongsam? Where's the trust between people?]

Lying facedown on the sofa and enjoying the foot massage, Wang Yixue's face gained a trace of shyness.

This damned closet pervert—nothing soft or hard could move him on the surface, but inside, he was soft enough to go mmm!

"That's enough."

Hearing Tang Yu's thoughts grow increasingly outrageous, she was starting to lose her nerve too.

Pulling her foot back, she pretended to twist it a little and said, "It feels much better. Next time I get hurt, I'll come find you again."

"There'll be a next time?"

Tang Yu's eyes widened. Was she determined to make things difficult for him?

"What else?" Wang Yixue narrowed her eyes and smiled happily.

She could hear this guy's thoughts, and she had even caught him by the tail.

Would she really let him go that easily? Was she still Wang Yixue if she did?

"Dog System, get the hell out here. Why has Wang Yixue's character setting collapsed too?"

Tang Yu roared inwardly.

Damn it, another traitor trying to get him beaten to death!

"Pfft..."

The system laughed.

Wang Yixue's phone, sitting on the table, suddenly rang.

She picked it up and answered it. After speaking for a few moments, she frowned and said.

"Got it. Delay the new energy meeting by another half hour. I'll be there later."

After hanging up, she gave Tang Yu a sweet smile.

"There's an urgent meeting at the company. I'll go attend it first, then come find you later."

"Go ahead and get busy."

Tang Yu couldn't have asked for more. Hurry up and leave, woman.

[A new energy project? I remember now. Isn't this a trap Wang Rulong and Ye Chen set?]

[To invest in this project, all fifty billion of the Wang Family's cash flow gets tied up, leaving Tengwang Group facing a severe crisis.]

[Wang Rulong uses the opportunity to make trouble and seize power, while Ye Chen plays the good guy and helps Wang Yixue resolve the crisis. He successfully brings Wang Yixue into his harem, then has Wang Rulong killed. In the end, won't the Wang Family still fall into his hands?]

Just as Wang Yixue was about to rise and leave, her delicate body trembled, her eyes full of shock.

How did Tang Yu know all this?

This investment was the company's top secret! Only a tiny handful of people knew about it!

And the one pushing this project was her cousin, Wang Rulong!

"Could it really be true?"

Wang Yixue lightly bit her lip. When she looked at Tang Yu again, there was more affection and gratitude in her eyes.

He had to have been secretly looking out for her, using the Tang Family's influence to investigate this for her!

She wanted to ask Tang Yu about it and properly thank him, but when she opened her mouth, no sound came out.

Helpless, she could only greet Tang Yu before hurrying off to the company to investigate the matter.

When she left, her face was frosty, her heart brimming with killing intent!

Well played, Wang Rulong!

Well played, Ye Chen!

If I find out the truth, neither of you will live!

Once Wang Yixue left, Tang Yu immediately let out a huge sigh of relief, leaned back on the sofa, and chuckled.

Master, I have attained enlightenment!

Although Wang Yixue had been acting strange today too.

The plot settings were right there!

Once Ye Chen came to the Wang Family later and finished showing off!

The kingly aura he gave off would definitely conquer Wang Yixue!

Once she compared Ye Chen with him, she would surely fall for Ye Chen at once!

As for that little mess between her and himself, she definitely would not tell Ye Chen!

[As long as I keep a low profile today, Ye Chen, busy chasing girls and showing off, definitely won't have the mind to care about me. Then, once he learns that Su Muyue has nothing to do with me, I should be able to survive until the finale this time.]

Tang Yu thought to himself blissfully.

At that moment, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.

Tang Yu looked toward the entrance and discovered it was a beautiful, petite girl.

Though the girl was petite, certain parts of her had developed spectacularly, even swaying slightly as she walked.

On top of that, she had deliberately dressed in Lolita fashion, making her look like a beautiful girl who had stepped straight out of an anime.

The moment the girl saw Tang Yu, she immediately revealed a sweet smile and greeted him.

"Hello, Brother Tang Yu."

"Oh... Xiaoyue. Long time no see."

Tang Yu hurriedly greeted her back, quickly recalling who she was.

She was Jiang Xiaoyue, Suhang's most famous genius doctor! She was only twenty this year, yet her medical skills ranked among the top ten in Huaxia!

Her grandfather was Jiang Tianyi, a towering pillar of Huaxia's traditional medicine, revered as a medical saint of his generation!

With medical skills beyond compare and beauty beyond measure, such a heaven's favored daughter would naturally end up in Dragon King Ye Chen's harem.
