Chapter 38 The male lead is jealous!

Yun Yang was so shocked that her pupils dilated.

"You've taken a liking to him?"

Shen Mingyue: "What's with that expression? He saved me, is it so strange that I like him?"

Yun Yang shook her head, her expression indescribable.

"Not strange, but very eerie."

Did I save you?

Sister, you understand how to redefine the word "rescue".

The image of Gu Yan pushing Shen Mingyue face-first into the dirt flashed through Yun Yang's mind.

If that counts as saving someone... then I would truly thank you.

Only then did she belatedly realize that, given Shen Mingyue's temper, why didn't she twist Gu Yan's head off and kick it like a ball on the spot?

That's definitely not scientific.

Yunyang's mental radar started spinning, and she decided to try another trick.

She carefully chose her words and tentatively asked, "So... you're not planning to try and win over Fu Xiaoting?"

"Strategy guide?"

Shen Mingyue was indeed taken aback for a moment, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing slightly, as if she was savoring the word.

Why did you use the word 'strategy guide'? It's so unique.

She then waved her hand: "Of course the strategy will continue, but that has nothing to do with my feelings for Gu Yan. It doesn't conflict with anything. Arranged marriages between wealthy families are just like that. Don't think I can't see that Fu Xiaoting is interested in you."

Yun Yang: "!"

Is Shen Mingyue giving her a warning?

As they spoke, the two had already arrived at Gu Yan's door.

Shen Mingyue stopped, but instead of going forward herself, she nudged Yun Yang with her elbow.

"you go."

Yun Yang: "?"

Shen Mingyue pouted as if it were the most natural thing in the world: "He's avoiding me. He definitely won't open the door if I knock."

Yun Yang glanced at Shen Mingyue sideways and teased, "What, you knelt down and called him 'my god'?"

Unexpectedly, a suspicious blush appeared on Shen Mingyue's bright face.

"How could I!" she said coquettishly. "How could I bear to disgust my little darling like that?"

Yun Yang shuddered, goosebumps erupting all over her body.

She quickly stepped forward and knocked on the door three times.

"Mr. Gu, Miss Shen is looking for you."

After shouting, Yun Yang, like a tool that had completed its task, didn't look back and slipped into the room opposite hers.

The door slammed shut with a "bang".

The sound of Shen Mingyue stomping her feet in frustration came from outside the door.

"Yun Yang! You're getting bolder and bolder!"

Yun Yang ignored her, but her ears were glued to the door like radar.

The corridor was quiet for a few seconds.

“Clatter.”

With a soft click, the door opened.

Yun Yang's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't expected that Gu Yan would actually open the door for Shen Mingyue.

She immediately held her breath and pressed her ear even closer.

All that could be heard was Shen Mingyue's sweet, delicate voice, as sweet as honey.

"You're wearing it? Do you like the clothes I bought for you?"

Immediately following was Gu Yan's voice, slightly raised, tinged with surprise.

"You gave it to me?"

"Otherwise what?" Shen Mingyue's voice instantly took on that familiar, haughty tone again. "You're an orphan with no parents, who else would send you things?"

Yun Yang, inside the door, pursed her lips into a silent line.

What a... what a vicious mouth!

The sad children's song instantly echoed in her mind:

You have lost your father and mother, none of you have a home...

"This dress is very special, let's both try it on."

Shen Mingyue's excited voice.

Want to try it on? Aren't you already dressed?

"Sizzle—!"

A clear sound, like fabric being violently torn, pierced through the door and exploded in Yun Yang's ears!

Yunyang: !!!

Holy crap!

Is this really that explosive?

No, did you leave the door open or did you start fighting right there in the hallway?

Curiosity triumphed over everything.

Yunyang quietly, quietly, opened the door a crack.

Then, she witnessed a scene she would never forget.

Under the corridor lights, Shen Mingyue, like a female tyrant, pinned Gu Yan firmly against the wall.

The thin, sheer black suit that Gu Yan was wearing had now turned into tattered strips of cloth, hanging limply on his body.

Beneath the fabric were clearly defined, dazzlingly white abs and V-lines, glistening with a thin layer of sweat under the light.

His face, which always carried a gentle smile, was now filled with panic and helplessness. His eyes were red and his lips were slightly parted, making him look pitiful and inexplicably carrying a broken and tender feeling.

Yun Yang's eyes were fixed intently on those eight-pack abs, without blinking.

Oh my god, Mom said you'll get big bellies if you do that.

[Hehe, the plot finally stayed on track!]

[The male lead will arrive soon, he's definitely going to be jealous! Host, your chance has come!]

The system is here.

Yun Yang was startled.

The male lead? Fu Xiaoting?

She instinctively peeked out the window, looking down the corridor—

At the end of the dim light, a tall, slender figure sat quietly.

The man in the wheelchair, with his unfathomable black eyes, pierced through half the corridor, landing precisely and coldly on her face as she peeked out...

Their eyes met.

The air condensed.

Yun Yang's brain went blank!

"Bang!"

She slammed the door shut with all her might!

My heart started racing instantly.

The system's voice boomed again: "[Hahaha, look how dark the male lead's face is! He must be jealous, because you're jealous, host! Hahaha!]"

A moment later, another "bang" came from outside the door, as if Gu Yan's door had also been closed.

The entire corridor was instantly plunged into a deathly silence.

Yunyang leaned against the door, her legs feeling weak.

She didn't know what she was avoiding Fu Xiaoting for, or what she was so nervous about.

Quick! Quickly forget all those densely packed images of Xiaoting in your mind!

She closed her eyes, forced herself to calm down, and began to review the events.

Shen Mingyue...

She said she liked Gu Yan, but then hurt him with the most vicious words.

Could it be... that her saying she liked Gu Yan was just to mislead me? Or was she testing me?

Or perhaps it's simply to make the male lead jealous...

Yun Yang's mind was a complete mess. Forget it, forget it, I'm not going to think about it anymore, my CPU is going to burn out.

She suddenly remembered the package she had brought back from the security room.

Haha, Jinzi, here I come!

He rushed to the table in a few strides, picked up the small box, about the size of his palm, and carefully opened it.

One layer, and another.

Finally, a photo fell out.

Yunyang picked it up with great anticipation.

Then, the smile on her face froze.

The photo shows abs stacked up like chocolate bars.

But it's black.

Yun Yang: "..."

That quiet, alluring darkness.

"Knock knock knock," the knocking sounded again.

Yunyang casually tossed the photo onto the table.

"who?"

A maid's voice came from outside the door.

"Manager Yun, the gentleman said he wants to eat grilled cold noodles. Would you like to come and make one now?"

Didn't you just eat vinegar?

How can you still be in the mood to eat?

Oh, the sourness is appetizing.

Yun Yang complained inwardly as she opened the door and went out.

She had barely left when the door to the room was silently pushed open from the outside.

Fu Xiaoting maneuvered his electric wheelchair and slid in.

His gaze swept around the room, finally landing precisely on the photo that Yun Yang had casually tossed onto the table.

Long, slender fingers picked up the photograph.

I only glanced at it.

The next second, his well-defined fingers suddenly tightened, and his knuckles turned bluish-white from the force.

The thin photograph was instantly crumpled into a ball of unrecognizable waste paper in his palm...
