Chapter 19
Chapter 019:
[And you, the protagonist!]
[Are you not a bit too incompetent?! Throughout all my years as a villain, you’re the most incompetent protagonist I’ve ever encountered!]
[You’d better stick to being a security guard. What’s with pretending to be a university official and getting exposed, huh?]
[You were slapped in the face, and just the thought of it embarrasses me!]
[Sigh, Ye Chen, I guessed the beginning, but I didn’t anticipate this ending.]
[I knew there would be a significant misunderstanding at the auction, but I didn’t expect you being the cause!]
[I expected you to rise in the upper class of Nanjiang, but I didn’t expect it to happen in such a ludicrous manner!]
[Regardless, I think you would attract Jiang Mengyao’s attention…]
[After all, your appearance at the auction was so unusual!]
[But why does it feel like Jiang Mengyao is giving me strange looks instead…]
Chen Lang set aside his phone and asked the system.
“System, there were some minor flaws in today’s plot details,”
“But the ultimate outcome was essentially achieved, so it shouldn’t have any repercussions, right?”
He waited for a long time, but the system didn’t respond.
“Ugh! Useless system!”
[Forget it, it’s almost time, it’s not as if it concerns me being the villain, it’s not as if I performed poorly…]
Chen Lang promptly shifted the blame. As long as the plot didn’t stray too far from the plot, it was acceptable.
[Nothing to worry about]
[Because the plot will assuredly be back on track tomorrow]
[Tomorrow, Ye Chen will investigate the gang that demolished his orphanage in his childhood]
[And confront those individuals at Jiang Mengyao’s club.]
[Then I’ll mobilize my people to seek revenge from time in the auction, and attempt to teach Ye Chen a lesson]
[Thus, under Jiang Mengyao’s watchful gaze, Ye Chen will display his prowess, defeat everyone, and directly captivate Jiang Mengyao,]
[Causing Jiang Mengyao to admire and be moved by him.]
[Very good, very reasonable. It’s simply a matter of slapping someone in the face, quite straightforward.]
[…]
[But, why does it feel like something is amiss…]
[Darn it, isn’t Ye Chen still in detention now?!]
[Darn it… this useless protagonist better not delay me from following the plot!]
[Will he be released, right?!]
[After all, He, the Satan should possess considerable assets in the abroad, he should be able to afford 1.9 billion yuan…]
[Forget it, let’s just follow my plot honestly. Tomorrow I’ll find some of the weakest bodyguards to assist you in flaunting your prowess.]
[Protagonist, strike my face hard, show off with style! Restore the plot! Utilize your charm and protagonist aura to conquer Jiang Mengyao! But don’t be as incompetent as today!]
After Chen Lang finished his diary, he heard a system sound in his mind.
[Ding! Diary uploaded successfully! System reward, Chen Lang’s charm +1!]
???
What in the world? Couldn’t you reward something useful?
His charm had increased last time, and now again…
Chen Lang’s body trembled. He rolled out of bed and hobbled to the bathroom with a cane.
After a moment, an earth-shattering roar emanated from the bathroom.
“System, do you think you’re Goddess Nuwa? Are you playing with clay dolls here?!!!”
Fortunately, subsequent testing revealed that Chen Lang’s functionality remained intact.
And even his appearance appeared more imposing than before…
…
Jiang Family Villa.
Having just bathed, Jiang Mengyao wore a black silk pajamas, exuding an air of aloofness, mystery, and allure.
As she read the updated villain’s diary on her phone, a smile suddenly graced her lips.
Chen Lang was truly interesting. He nearly had her laughing herself to death!!
Ye Chen was indeed a bumbling fool, but the auctioneer lady wasn’t in a hurry to get off work!
Of course, she acted that way under her command.
Jiang Mengyao continued reading.
Could she genuinely be moved by Ye Chen’s handsomeness??
It was simply laughable and ridiculous!
In terms of looks, Ye Chen paled in comparison to Chen Lang,
Any individual with a right would know whom to choose!
Ye Chen looked handsome when he didn’t smile, but he looked stupid when he smiled.
Conversely, Chen Lang was simply a handsome figure from every angle! He perfectly fits
her childhood fantasy of a prince charming!
And in reality, Chen Lang was that prince charming!
He was the prince capable of saving the Jiang family from tough times..
After finishing reading the diary, Jiang Mengyao stowed away her phone.
She didn’t expect her own plot again so soon.
As she approached her closet, she picked out one piece after another.
She would be meeting Chen Lang tomorrow, so she pondered which dress he would favor?
The closet brimmed with simple black garments, reflecting her personal preferences. After all, she had never thought about pleasing men with her dressing before.
Given her standing in upper-class circles, Jiang Mengyao naturally discerned that Chen Lang was Xiao Mingyue’s licking dog, and she was aware that they would wed once Chen Lang’s leg healed from injury.
Yet Jiang Mengyao harbored confidence that within the month of Chen Lang’s convalescence, she could vie for his affection!
…
Within the CEO’s office of Mingyue Fashion Company.
Xiao Mingyue smiled as she put down her phone.
Chen Lang possessed quite the knack for humor, and he was quite good at writing diaries.
There had been no recent plot developments involving her, and she had some time to relax.
Chen Lang had mentioned in his diary that their marriage wasn’t forced by the Chen family, there was actually another hidden reason.
Xiao Mingyue did a thorough investigation, but unfortunately, she found nothing.
She pondered what hidden reason Chen Lang mentioned was, so she thought of contacting him proactively and asking indirectly.
Yet her pride and arrogance made her hesitant to do so!
Xiao Mingyue suddenly found herself feeling disheartened.
Humph! Chen Lang!
It had been days since the accident, yet he hadn’t sent a single message to her!
Unlike previously, he always sent her morning and evening greetings daily.
Although she never replied, he persisted…
“…”
It appeared she couldn’t fault Chen Lang for this…
Xiao Mingyue gazed out the window, feeling somewhat disheartened.
Could it be that she really couldn’t avoid marrying Chen Lang?
Perhaps, as a daughter of the big family, she wasn’t destined to have the right to decide her own marriage…
