The room stayed quiet for a long while. Song Hongyan’s eyes flickered slightly before she asked leisurely, “What do you think of Ye Beichen?”
Through the diary, Song Hongyan naturally knew that Ye Beichen was the mysterious Dragon King, the child of destiny, and the protagonist of the novel. It could be said that the entire world revolved around Ye Beichen. However, Qin Luo was a transmigrator, so she wanted to hear Qin Luo’s opinion.
So she still mentioned Ye Beichen.
Qin Luo thought to himself that the protagonist truly lived up to his role. The moment he appeared, he had already attracted the female lead’s attention.
If this had been before, Qin Luo would have been very happy that Song Hongyan was interested in Ye Beichen. After all, as a reincarnator, he needed to maintain the smooth development of the plot. The protagonist and the female lead gradually becoming attracted to each other was a good thing for him.
However, for some reason, after meeting the stunningly beautiful Song Hongyan, he suddenly did not really want to hear her talk about Ye Beichen.
Even so, Qin Luo still answered, “He’s a top-tier expert. CEO Song should pay more attention to that man.”
“Is that so?”
Song Hongyan parted her pink lips and spoke softly, without much astonishment, as if she had lost interest in the protagonist.
This made Qin Luo somewhat puzzled. This woman’s aura was difficult to figure out, and even the way she handled things was hard to understand.
After pondering for a moment, Song Hongyan suddenly asked gently, “Would you like something to drink?”
Qin Luo felt that something was a little off, but he remained calm and composed. “A glass of water.”
Song Hongyan nodded and instructed Assistant Xiaolan.
Before long, Xiaolan brought over a glass of water and placed it in front of Qin Luo. Then she secretly glanced at Song Hongyan with curiosity before leaving.
Qin Luo picked up the glass and took a sip. His eyes still lifted slightly, watching Song Hongyan. This made the corner of Song Hongyan’s lips rise in an almost imperceptible curve, her beauty beyond compare.
“Don’t be in such a hurry. Sit with me a little longer and finish this cup of tea.”
She also lifted her clear tea. Her expression was relaxed as she slowly took a sip.
There was an easy comfort about her, as if the two of them were old friends meeting again.
A long while passed.
Song Hongyan suddenly smiled and asked, “Do you want to change jobs and become my bodyguard?”
This had definitely changed.
In the original novel, Song Hongyan had no bodyguards around her. She only had subordinates loyal to herself.
Qin Luo’s gaze moved slightly.
He had not expected that Lin Qingxue, the first female lead, would have no problem, while Song Hongyan, the second female lead, would change so greatly. He did not know that because of a single diary, all the female leads had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Qin Luo shook his head directly. “No need.”
Song Hongyan did not force him. She very much wanted Qin Luo to become her subordinate, but she was unwilling to pressure him, because what she needed were the most loyal subordinates.
“Your name is Qin Luo, right? I’ll remember you.”
Song Hongyan suddenly smiled.
“If you have any requests, you can report them directly to me. This is my private number.”
Song Hongyan left Qin Luo a phone number.
Qin Luo did not say anything and accepted it.
Song Hongyan said calmly, “Call it and check.”
Qin Luo took out his phone and called Song Hongyan. A ringtone sounded.
“This number is one only you have in the entire company.”
The corner of Song Hongyan’s lips lifted into a tempting smile as she coaxed him. The aura around her suddenly changed from faint and graceful like misty willows to alluring and passionate.
Qin Luo’s heart stirred. This woman was too enchanting. Not only was she charming in appearance, but even her every movement and every word were seductive.
Especially when she dressed like a gentle lady from Jiangnan while saying such enticing words. That contrast made one’s blood run hot.
The two chatted idly for a few more sentences. Qin Luo felt there was nothing else, so he turned and took his leave. Song Hongyan did not try to keep him.
After returning to his personal dormitory, Qin Luo carefully recalled everything. He felt that Song Hongyan meeting him seemed reasonable, yet also extremely strange. However, after thinking about it, he decided that it did not have much impact on the plot, so he stopped dwelling on it. He took out the diary and began writing.
[I met Song Hongyan and chatted privately with her for a while. It felt very strange, but I can’t say exactly what was strange. Maybe I’m overthinking it.]
[Song Hongyan only asked me about what happened at the Tang family birthday banquet. On the surface, it doesn’t seem to have any effect on the plot, but she herself completely overturned my imagination.]
As information appeared in the diary, the many female leads sensed it. One after another, they opened their diary copies.
Lin Qingxue put down the work in her hands, took out the diary copy, and stared at the page.
Qin Luo had met Song Hongyan. She very much wanted to know what had happened between them, especially how Qin Luo felt after seeing Song Hongyan.
At Song Group, in the office on the 39th floor, Song Hongyan’s lovely face carried a smile as she watched Qin Luo write in the diary.
Today’s meeting had only been a test, an attempt to take Qin Luo in as her subordinate.
[There is one thing I feel very conflicted about.]
[Originally, according to what the system said, I thought I would become a reincarnator, correct the abnormal plot of The Dragon King’s Return, then take the rewards and return to enjoy my own life. But after meeting Song Hongyan today, I hesitated.]
When the contents appeared in the diary, the many female leads looked at the words and could not help glancing sideways. After meeting Song Hongyan, Qin Luo seemed to have been attracted by her.
Was there really someone that beautiful?
After Lin Qingxue saw the words in the diary, she rolled her eyes. This transmigrator’s will did not seem very firm. Was Song Hongyan’s charm really that great? She had actually bewitched Qin Luo so much that he could no longer tell north from south.
It seemed… she really did.
Lin Qingxue also admitted that Song Hongyan was indeed ridiculously beautiful.
[She is very beautiful, far more beautiful than I imagined. Or rather, she overturned my imagination. This feeling is hard to describe. It’s like when you originally push open a door thinking you will see a bouquet of roses, only to find a bouquet of lilies instead.]
[According to the description in the original novel The Dragon King’s Return, Song Hongyan is a woman of endless charm. She is a fiery, sexy stunner, dazzling and full of temptation, intensely aggressive and provocative. Any man who sees her peerless beauty would wish he could press her onto a bed and ravage her fiercely. But because of her empress-like pressure, most men lower their heads and cannot even look directly at her.]
“That is indeed the case. His evaluation is very fair. That woman does have that kind of fatal temptation. Even when women see her, they can’t help feeling dazzled and bewitched.”
Looking at what was written in the diary, Lin Qingxue nodded and agreed with it.
She had thought Qin Luo was the same as ordinary men, bewitched by Song Hongyan’s fiery sensuality. But judging from the words written in the diary, it seemed that was not the case.
Filled with doubt, Lin Qingxue focused even more intently on the diary copy.
[At first, I also thought Song Hongyan would carry a strong air of worldly seduction. However, when I saw her, she was not like the description in the novel at all. Instead, her aura was cold and clear like the moon, as if she were a graceful lady from Jiangnan. If she had not said she was Song Hongyan herself, I absolutely would not have recognized her.]
Was he still talking about Song Hongyan? That woman had always seemed eager to attract the gaze of every man in the world. Her style had always been bold, open, and fiery.
Did Qin Luo see the wrong person?
After seeing the diary’s contents, Lin Qingxue’s first reaction was that it was impossible. The person Qin Luo met was not Song Hongyan, or at least not the Song Hongyan she knew.
But then she thought again. Song Hongyan had obtained the diary copy. Perhaps what she was playing with was a method. That woman was the best at disguising herself and deceiving men.
[Before meeting Song Hongyan, I always felt that she was only a character in a novel, while my identity was that of a reincarnator responsible for correcting the abnormalities that appeared in this world. Song Hongyan’s plot was to constantly pull and clash with the protagonist Ye Beichen before eventually getting together with him. That was the destined ending.]
[But after I met Song Hongyan, I discovered that she is a living, breathing person. More than that, she is a woman overflowing with vivid fragrance and beauty. Her beauty is both bright and sharp, possessing powerful lethality. As a man, guiding her toward Ye Beichen is an extremely difficult thing. I admit that in that moment, my heart wavered.]
[If I continue carrying out the reincarnator’s mission, I need to watch Song Hongyan become Ye Beichen’s woman. I can hardly do that.]
[I have no choice but to imagine in my mind that she is only a puppet. Only then can I forget the lethal power of her beauty.]
Seeing the words in Qin Luo’s diary, the many female leads could feel the conflict in Qin Luo’s heart. As a reincarnator, guiding Song Hongyan to be with the protagonist Ye Beichen was truly difficult for him.
Perhaps for any man, it would not be an easy thing.
At this moment, the many female leads also had the same thought. Song Hongyan must be very beautiful. Otherwise, she would not have made Qin Luo so conflicted and reluctant. If it were them, would Qin Luo feel this same contradiction? They must not be compared unfavorably against Song Hongyan.
Being able to obtain a diary copy meant they were all female leads in the novel The Dragon King’s Return. Every one of them possessed extraordinary beauty, along with many strengths. Otherwise, they could not possibly have become female leads.
Since they were outstanding women, they naturally had pride in their hearts and were unwilling to lose to another woman. Song Hongyan was excellent, but they were not inferior either. This was not a competition. It was merely a matter of showing their own charm.
