No matter how one looked at it, Lin Qingxue’s heart could no longer remain calm. She gripped the diary tightly, as if it were her only lifeline, a sacred scripture.
“No matter what, if Song Yunyi comes over tomorrow, I need to pay attention to this Qin Luo and see whether he really is a transmigrator.” Lin Qingxue closed the diary and thought silently.
After finishing the diary, she was wondering where she should hide it when the diary suddenly vanished into the void.
Lin Qingxue’s heart jolted. Before she could recover, there seemed to be an additional connection in her mind. As long as she wanted to read the diary, the copy that belonged exclusively to her would appear before her.
“So magical.”
A look of wonder appeared on Lin Qingxue’s face. She believed the things written in the diary even more now. This world was probably truly the world inside a novel. Otherwise, there was no way to explain the mysterious diary before her eyes.
Song Group, office on the 39th floor.
Night.
Song Hongyan was still handling documents when she suddenly discovered a strange red diary on her desk.
“Whose thing is this?”
Song Hongyan picked up the diary. At first, she thought some employee had accidentally placed it inside a folder and delivered it to her. However, when Song Hongyan saw the words written on the diary, Qin Luo’s Diary Copy, Exclusive to Song Hongyan, she let out a surprised sound, just like Lin Qingxue had.
Of course, Song Hongyan knew who Qin Luo was. He was one of the bodyguards beside her nephew, Song Yunyi. However, Song Hongyan usually regarded these bodyguards as Song Yunyi’s lackeys.
They followed Song Yunyi, that useless wastrel who never learned anything, around all day and threw their weight around. If they were not lackeys, then what were they?
At this moment, Song Hongyan had no interest in reading Qin Luo’s diary at all. She smiled coldly and murmured, “How bold. Has he set his sights on me now?”
She thought Qin Luo was trying to flirt with her.
As the beautiful CEO of Song Group, Song Hongyan was usually passionate like fire and carried herself with a powerful, forceful style. In Qingzhou, she and Lin Qingxue were known together as the 2 queen CEOs of the business world.
However, compared to Lin Qingxue’s cold, aloof beauty that kept people 1,000 kilometers away, Song Hongyan was enchantingly alluring to the bone, like a blooming rose, mature and seductive enough to seem as though water could be squeezed from her.
She was not a queen.
She was an empress.
Perhaps all worldly men were the same. They believed that if a woman’s style was fiery, then her private life must also be passionate and open.
Because of this, countless men wanted to seize the chance to climb up through Song Hongyan and struggle 30 years less.
Song Hongyan had long grown used to this. Usually, she would merely give a disdainful cold laugh.
However, she was still very puzzled. How had this diary passed through the many layers of security in the group and ended up on her desk?
“Could it be that brat Song Yunyi did this? Hehe. Helping someone else handle his own aunt?”
A dangerous gleam appeared in Song Hongyan’s eyes. It seemed she still needed to reduce the expenses of those useless members of the Song family, making them tighten their belts whenever they went out.
Only then would they understand her authority.
If Qin Luo knew what Song Hongyan was thinking, he would definitely feel helpless. Among the many female leads in the entire novel The Dragon King’s Return, if he had to choose one female lead he was unwilling to provoke, it would definitely be Song Hongyan.
Song Hongyan was the youngest daughter of the Song family and the biological aunt of the villain Song Yunyi. She controlled the entire Song Group, and her word was law. Even Song Yunyi trembled with fear whenever he saw her.
This was also one of the sources of satisfaction in the novel. Song Yunyi, the villain who opposed the Dragon King Ye Beichen, had a dignified and imposing aunt, yet in front of Ye Beichen, she would occasionally reveal the posture of a delicate woman. This contrast made many readers howl with excitement.
But Qin Luo, who had finished reading the entire novel, understood that even showing goodwill to Ye Beichen was only one of Song Hongyan’s methods. Her control over Song Group was actually the most insignificant of all her assets.
Overseas, she sold arms and was the largest arms smuggler. The mercenary organization under her command had swept through several small nations.
The research institute she established was the first to develop supernatural abilities. In the later stages, it could contend with ancient martial arts without falling behind, and it even allowed Song Yunyi to completely transform himself and continue becoming the ultimate villain opposing Ye Beichen.
The diamond mines and oil wells she had seized were worth hundreds of billions of dollars. In the underground world, she controlled the Rose Assassin Organization, ranked fourth. She…
In any case, there were countless deeds like these. As for how many hidden cards Song Hongyan had behind her, even Qin Luo could not be certain.
Of course, these things would only make Qin Luo marvel that Song Hongyan was truly worthy of being an extraordinary woman in the novel. It was not enough to make him unwilling to provoke her.
The real reason even Qin Luo kept his distance was Song Hongyan’s view of relationships.
She believed that anything men could do, women could also do, and do even better. Because of this, her preferences meant she could feel attraction toward men, but she was also aggressive toward women.
Not only that, with her empress-like personality, Song Hongyan also had to occupy the dominant position when doing that kind of thing.
She would not allow anyone to press her beneath them.
Even from the brief descriptions in the novel, Qin Luo knew that beneath this woman’s charming and seductive appearance was a powerful female lead. Even when it came to men, she felt the more, the better.
However, in the entire novel The Dragon King’s Return, even by the time it ended, Song Hongyan had never found any other man. The reason was actually very simple. First, she looked down on them. Second, that lousy author did not dare write it that way.
Even with the protagonist Ye Beichen, it was only because of a series of strange coincidences that the lousy author forcefully arranged them together in the end. But even so, many readers still felt they were not a good match.
On top of that, under the supervision of the powerful censorship beast, until the very end, the whole novel remained as clean as scallions mixed with tofu. It was only simple ambiguity. They had not even touched fingers, making people cry out that it was a “eunuch novel” wearing the skin of a harem plotline.
Song Hongyan picked up the diary and tossed it aside. But then she thought about it again. Work was already so tiring. Taking a look at a joke to relax a little did not seem bad either. Only then did she open the diary.
“???”
“Hm?”
Song Hongyan let out a soft sound of surprise. The words written in the diary were not the deliberate attempts to attract her attention that she had imagined. However, she had to admit that she was indeed drawn in by the information inside the diary. The information was enough to overturn her understanding, and even Song Hongyan could not help widening her eyes.
“Transmigrating into the world of a novel.”
“The protagonist, Dragon King Ye Beichen?”
“Playing a role and correcting the mutated plot.”
“Writing a diary gives rewards.”
“…”
“Interesting. Very interesting.”
Song Hongyan’s face revealed a thoughtful look. Bit by bit, she digested the information written in the diary, then calmly judged whether it was true or false.
If an ordinary person were told that the world they had always lived in was actually the world inside a novel, they would surely be so shocked that their eyes lost focus. But Song Hongyan only pondered for a while before her thoughts immediately shifted elsewhere.
Song Hongyan was an extremely strong-willed female lead.
Her way of thinking was completely different from other women. Whether this world was the world inside a novel was not important to her.
What mattered was how she should dig out more information from Qin Luo next, then obtain what she wanted and satisfy her ambition.
