"Let me help you to the sofa to rest," Tang Yu said in a flat tone.
[I wouldn't even help my grandmother, why should I help you? I'll help you and then make my escape, okay?]
Hearing Tang Yu's inner thoughts, Wang Yixue smiled until her eyes narrowed into crescents.
Want to escape? No way.
After getting back to the sofa, seeing Tang Yu about to leave, she quickly called out.
"Tang Yu, I twisted my ankle, could you massage it for me?"
"I don't know how," Tang Yu flatly refused.
He just wanted to come here today to get through the plot and receive his reward.
Getting intimate with the second female lead would be suicide!
"You're lying. Back in college when I twisted my ankle playing tennis, you were the one who massaged it better. Do you hate me that much?"
Wang Yixue said with reddened eyes, looking hurt.
"Yes, so if you're really uncomfortable, I can call your family doctor for you."
Tang Yu nodded coldly.
[Yes, yes, yes, just think that I hate you and stay away from me, okay?]
[We're not compatible anyway. You belong in Ye Chen's harem, and I'm written as the villain cannon fodder. If he finds out about this, I'll be dead by tonight.]
Hearing Tang Yu's thoughts again, Wang Yixue snorted inwardly.
You think I'll stay away just because you tell me to?
Seeing how wary he was of this Ye Chen person, she decided to threaten him.
"You won't massage my foot? Fine, leave then. Later I'll tell everyone about how you took advantage of me."
"???"
Tang Yu, who had just lifted his foot to leave, stopped in his tracks with a shocked expression.
[Damn, don't be like this, can we be reasonable?]
[If you go around spreading rumors, Ye Chen will definitely hold a grudge against me!]
[I've never seen any villain in these power fantasy novels successfully compete with the protagonist for women and survive!]
"Don't do this... We can't go back to the past, let's just let bygones be bygones, okay?"
Tang Yu could only try to persuade her earnestly.
"Not listening to your nonsense, I'll give you one minute to think about it, or I'm posting on social media."
Wang Yixue took out her phone and waved it.
"Posting on social media means certain death, massaging the foot gives me a slim chance of survival... Damn it, I'll do it."
After pondering for a moment, Tang Yu chose the latter option.
"I'll massage it, but don't tell anyone about this."
Tang Yu warned as he reluctantly sat on the sofa and took Wang Yixue's delicate foot onto his lap.
While gently massaging her ankle, Tang Yu's peripheral vision took in Wang Yixue's stunning figure.
[When we were dating back then, she wasn't this well-developed, was she? What has she been eating these past few years?]
[And why is she wearing safety shorts under that qipao? Where's the trust between people?]
Lying on the sofa enjoying the foot massage, Wang Yixue's face showed a hint of shyness.
This secretly perverted guy, acting all tough but actually so weak!
"That's enough."
Hearing Tang Yu's thoughts becoming more and more unrestrained, she couldn't take it anymore.
Pulling her foot back, she pretended to twist it around and said, "Much better now. I'll find you next time I'm hurt."
"There's going to be a next time?"
Tang Yu's eyes widened – was she trying to get him killed?
"Of course." Wang Yixue smiled happily with narrowed eyes.
Being able to hear this guy's thoughts and having dirt on him.
How could she be Wang Yixue if she just let him go like this?
Hmph!
"You damn system, come out and tell me why Wang Yixue's character setting is broken too?"
Tang Yu roared internally.
This is another traitor trying to get him killed!
"Pfft..."
The system laughed.
Wang Yixue's phone on the table suddenly rang.
She picked up the phone and after chatting briefly, frowned and said,
"I understand. Delay the new energy meeting by another half hour, I'll be there soon."
After hanging up, she gave Tang Yu a sweet smile.
"There's an urgent meeting at the company, I need to go attend it. I'll come find you later."
"Just go take care of your business."
Tang Yu couldn't be more pleased – the sooner this woman left, the better.
[New energy project? Now I remember, isn't this a trap set up by Wang Rulong and Ye Chen?]
[The Wang family invested 50 billion in cash flow into this project, leading Teng Wang Group to face a severe crisis.]
[Wang Rulong took the opportunity to seize power, while Ye Chen played the good guy helping Wang Yixue resolve the crisis, successfully adding her to his harem, then having Wang Rulong killed, ultimately getting the Wang family under his control?]
Wang Yixue, who was about to stand up, trembled, her eyes full of shock.
How did Tang Yu know all this?
This investment was top secret in the company! Only a handful of people knew about it!
And the one pushing this project was her cousin Wang Rulong!
"Could it really be true?"
Wang Yixue bit her lip, looking at Tang Yu with more admiration and gratitude in her eyes.
He must have been secretly looking out for her, using the Tang family's resources to investigate all this!
She wanted to ask Tang Yu for clarification and thank him properly, but found herself unable to speak when she opened her mouth.
With no choice, she could only say goodbye to Tang Yu before hurrying to the company to investigate the matter.
As she left, her face was cold as frost and her heart was filled with murderous intent!
Well played, Wang Rulong!
Well played, Ye Chen!
If I confirm this, neither of you will live!
After Wang Yixue left, Tang Yu immediately let out a big sigh of relief, leaning back on the sofa with a grin.
Master, I understand now!
Although Wang Yixue was acting strange today too.
But the plot setting is what it is!
After Ye Chen comes to show off at the Wang family!
The kingly aura he emanates will definitely conquer Wang Yixue!
When she compares Ye Chen to me then, she'll definitely fall for him immediately!
As for that little incident with me, she definitely won't tell Ye Chen!
"As long as I keep a low profile today, Ye Chen will be too busy chasing girls and showing off to bother with me. Once he realizes Su Muyue has nothing to do with me, I should be able to survive until the grand finale this time."
Tang Yu thought gleefully to himself.
At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside.
Tang Yu looked towards the door and saw it was a beautiful petite girl.
Though the girl was small in stature, certain parts of her were extremely well-developed, causing slight swaying when she walked.
Plus she was deliberately wearing Lolita fashion, making her look like an anime beauty who had stepped out of 2D.
Seeing Tang Yu, the girl immediately showed a sweet smile and greeted him.
"Hello, Brother Tang Yu."
"Oh... Little Yue, long time no see."
Tang Yu hurriedly greeted back, quickly recalling her identity.
She was Jiang Xiaoyue, the most famous female divine doctor in Suzhou! Only twenty years old this year, but her medical skills ranked in the top ten in Huaxia!
Her grandfather was even more impressive as Divine Doctor Jiang, a towering figure in Huaxia's traditional medicine, honored as the Medical Saint of his generation!
With superb medical skills and extraordinary beauty, such a heaven-blessed girl was naturally destined for Dragon King Ye Chen's harem.
