Just as Lin Wanfu thought she was doomed, someone suddenly tapped on the car window.
“Brother Congyan, are you in there?”
A clear, youthful voice came from outside, breaking the car’s intimate, suggestive atmosphere.
Shen Congyan’s eyes gradually cleared. He let go of Lin Wanfu, whom he had pinned against the back seat.
Then he quickly took off his suit jacket and draped it over her.
The jacket was saturated with Shen Congyan’s scent, which Lin Wanfu found utterly revolting. She wanted nothing more than to throw it as far away as possible.
But her dress had been torn to shreds by that bastard Shen Congyan. If she didn’t want to expose herself, she had no choice but to swallow her humiliation and put on his jacket.
What on earth was wrong with this man? He was always tearing her clothes.
Shen Congyan caught sight of Lin Wanfu obediently putting on his jacket from the corner of his eye. Only then did he lower the window and look at the handsome young man standing beside the car. “What do you want?”
“Brother Congyan, Grandpa asked me to see if you’re free to come over to my place for dinner tonight.”
As Su Yu looked at Shen Congyan’s strikingly handsome face, a trace of unconscious admiration flickered in his eyes.
Before he transmigrated into this book, his favorite novel had been The Abandoned Young Heir: He Is the Uncrowned King. The male lead, Shen Congyan, was written as a man with immense personal charisma, perfect in every way. He was not only devilishly handsome, brilliant, and exceptionally capable, but also a rare male lead in a male-oriented novel who didn’t keep a harem.
When he first read the book, there was only one thing he’d been especially dissatisfied with: a man as flawless as the male lead deserved a better woman.
But the damn author had to make him fall for a vicious female supporting character with not a single redeeming quality.
That was the male lead’s greatest flaw!
The vicious female supporting character, Lin Wanfu, was a beautiful but spoiled, willful, selfish, troublesome young lady.
Worse still, Lin Wanfu was fickle and promiscuous. To be with the male lead’s villainous older brother, Shen Huaijin, she and Shen Huaijin had plotted together to frame the male lead, leaving him to endure three whole years of intrigue and betrayal overseas.
When he got to the part where the male lead returned home to take revenge on the Lin family, Su Yu had thought the man had finally come to his senses.
But the more he read, the more something seemed off. Every time the male lead ran into Lin Wanfu, he started getting dumber.
In the end, he even spent the rest of his life alone because of her.
“I’m busy.” Shen Congyan glanced at Su Yu, who seemed lost in thought, then started to raise the window.
If he weren’t doing business with Su Group, he wouldn’t even bother dealing with Su Yu, who clearly wasn’t right in the head.
Who knew where Su Yu had come from? The lunatic kept going on about helping him find true love.
Did he look like someone who was starved for love?
In his panic, Su Yu didn’t stop to think. He reached out and blocked the window with his hand.
“I know you’re usually busy, Brother Congyan, but tonight is my grandfather’s eightieth birthday banquet. Could you make time to come to my house and wish him a happy birthday? You’ve helped me out several times before, so please do this for me.”
Three years ago, he had transmigrated into this fictional world and become the young master of the top-tier Su family—a minor character barely mentioned in the book.
But that didn’t matter. People who transmigrated into books like him were usually there to change the fate of one of the characters!
And without a doubt, the character whose fate he had to change was the male lead, Shen Congyan!
So when he heard that the male lead had been exiled overseas by the Shen family, he had followed him to Kesili without telling his family, using his knowledge of the plot to help him several times.
“Would you mind if I brought someone along?”
Shen Congyan lowered his raven-dark lashes, casting a small shadow over his eyes and hiding the brief flash of scrutiny in them.
As a matter of fact, he was rather curious.
Back in Kesili, how had Su Yu managed to know the plans of his enemies in advance every single time?
If Su Yu hadn’t been the young master of the Su family, Shen Congyan might already have used less-than-conventional methods to get the answer out of him.
“Of course not!”
Su Yu suddenly spotted a glimpse of a red skirt hem. It seemed there was someone else in the car besides Shen Congyan. The smile that had just spread across his face froze at the corners of his mouth.
A red skirt—and someone in the male lead Shen Congyan’s car at this hour. He immediately thought of the vicious female supporting character who made his teeth ache with hatred: Lin Wanfu.
He couldn’t believe that after all the effort he’d made, the male lead was still getting mixed up with that vicious woman.
Lin Wanfu had been starting to doze off as she listened. But when she heard Shen Congyan say he wanted to bring someone along, she complained without a second thought, “That kind of banquet is so boring. If you want to go, go by yourself. I’m not going…”
“You don’t get to refuse.” Shen Congyan reached over and clamped a hand over Lin Wanfu’s noisy mouth. When she looked ready to bite him, he said coolly, “If you want my people to beat your father to death, go ahead and bite.”
Did she think he was still the Shen Congyan who used to do whatever she said?
“Mmph… Mmph…”
Lin Wanfu struggled to pull Shen Congyan’s hand away from her mouth, then gritted her teeth and cursed him. “All you know how to do is threaten me, you bastard!”
Su Yu stared at Lin Wanfu in shock. As expected of a brainless, vicious female supporting character—she actually dared to insult someone who had built the largest organization in the most chaotic region of Kesili.
When Lin Wanfu met Su Yu’s gaze, his personal information appeared before her eyes.

It took Su Yu a long while to recover from the shock of Lin Wanfu’s beauty. He awkwardly looked away, repeatedly reminding himself that she was an obnoxious, vicious female supporting character and that he couldn’t let her looks fool him.
“Brother Congyan, she called you a bastard.” His unspoken meaning was perfectly clear: Lin Wanfu had insulted you like that, and you’re not going to kill her?
Shen Congyan replied without expression, “I’m not deaf. You don’t need to repeat the insult.”
Su Yu: “…”
He wanted to demand that Shen Congyan explain why, if he’d heard her, he wasn’t taking revenge on Lin Wanfu. But he didn’t dare.
The male lead took vicious revenge on everyone else who crossed him, never stopping until he’d ruined them. With Lin Wanfu, though, he let her off lightly every time. The double standard was unbelievable.
Lin Wanfu was a little interested in Su Yu, a character who had never appeared in the plot, but she was hungry now and didn’t have the energy to worry about anything else.
“I hadn’t even had breakfast this morning when they drove me out of the Lin family’s old residence.” She tugged at Shen Congyan’s sleeve with her pale little hand, looking aggrieved.
Shen Congyan coldly pulled her hand away. “I’m the bastard who only knows how to threaten you. I’m not feeding you.”
“Shen Congyan, are you trying to starve me to death?”
Tears rolled down Lin Wanfu’s cheeks one after another, like pearls falling from a broken string. Anyone who saw her would find it hard to resist granting her every wish.
Shen Congyan furrowed his brows. “Stop crying. You’re getting my car dirty.”
Lin Wanfu snapped, “I don’t even want to ride in your lousy car. Open the door and let me out.”
“Do you have money for food?” Shen Congyan asked, one brow lifting slightly.
One question hit Lin Wanfu right where it hurt. She obediently sat back down. “I’m not getting out. Will you take me to eat crystal shrimp?”
“No. I don’t like crystal shrimp.”
Lin Wanfu pouted. “Then what do you like?”
“Guess. If you get it right, I’ll take you to get something to eat. If you get it wrong, starve to death.”
“How am I supposed to guess that? You’re deliberately making things difficult for me. You might as well let me starve to death in your car.”
Lin Wanfu knew her tears were the best weapon she had against Shen Congyan, so she cried even harder.
“Do you eat salmon?”
Watching Shen Congyan give in to Lin Wanfu yet again, Su Yu was nearly speechless.
He couldn’t understand why a perfectly good male lead lost IQ points whenever he ran into the vicious female supporting character.
He’d said he was going to take cruel revenge on her and make her wish she were dead, but every time, he barely did anything.
The most ridiculous part was that the moment the vicious female supporting character started crying, the male lead would put on a cold face and comfort her.
What was that if not a cold-faced man doing laundry?
Maybe Lin Wanfu had been right to call him a bastard.
