“Are you trying to sabotage me on purpose?”
Su Yu turned around angrily, but when he met Lin Wanfu’s clear, bottomless peach-blossom eyes, he swallowed all the curses he was about to spit out and only said, “Given your malicious intentions, you’re not allowed to eat my family’s cake.”
After saying this, he snatched the plate and small fork from Lin Wanfu’s hands with a stern face.
Lin Wanfu lowered her head to look at the small cream stain on her skirt. She pouted in dissatisfaction. “You stained my new dress, and you’re yelling at me. I’m going to tell on you.”
“Just you wait!”
Seeing Lin Wanfu’s intention to go find Shen Huaijin, Su Yu immediately panicked.
He quickly grabbed Lin Wanfu. “My dear, please don’t tell on me. I’m guilty, I was ungrateful and blind. I was wrong. Here, take it.”
As he spoke, he returned the plate and small fork to Lin Wanfu exactly as they were, as if tossing away a hot potato.
No joke—if the villainess went crying to the antagonist to complain about him, he would most likely die a miserable death.
After all, the antagonist Shen Huaijin in the book was a madman who would even stab himself when pushed to the edge.
After the villainess Lin Wanfu died, Shen Huaijin’s life had only one goal left: to perish together with the male lead, Shen Congyan.
“I don’t want it anymore!” Lin Wanfu showed no mercy. She shook off Su Yu’s hand and threw away the plate.
Watching Lin Wanfu turn to leave, Su Yu’s brain worked at lightning speed, racking his mind for ways to placate her. Suddenly, inspiration struck.
“Your dress is stained, and it doesn’t look as good on you anymore. Why don’t you come upstairs with me to change into another one? My sister ordered two evening gowns, and one of them hasn’t been worn yet. Oh, and there are desserts upstairs too. Once you change, you can enjoy all kinds of sweets without anyone bothering you.”
He vaguely remembered that the villainess Lin Wanfu was someone who loved to eat, hated work, and was extremely vain.
Lin Wanfu lowered her head to look at her chest. “I probably won’t fit into your sister’s evening gown.”
Hearing this, Su Yu’s gaze involuntarily drifted toward Lin Wanfu’s chest.
The next second, his fair face flushed bright red.
He was beginning to seriously suspect that the villainess was actually the author’s favorite daughter.
Otherwise, how could all the good things be monopolized by Lin Wanfu alone? She was born into a wealthy family, possessed top-tier beauty and an enviable figure, and had a doting father who let her live a carefree life for 23 years.
And that wasn’t all.
In the book, both the male lead, who had looks and power, and the antagonist were Lin Wanfu’s devoted admirers.
He hadn’t wanted to admit that the male lead he admired was a lovesick fool, but that was the reality.
Lin Wanfu’s spoiled and willful personality was largely shaped by their indulgence toward her.
To put it bluntly, she was spoiled rotten.
When he first read the book, he had a vague feeling that Lin Wanfu’s downfall was entirely her own doing.
If Lin Wanfu had just humbled herself and said a few nice words to the male lead, he would bet that the male lead would have forgiven her without a second thought, pretending none of her actions had ever happened.
He wouldn’t be surprised if, even if Lin Wanfu had someone else’s child, the male lead would have found a way to become the stepfather.Lin Wanfu looked at Su Yu, whose face was as colorful as a palette, and said impatiently, “What are you thinking about? Forget it, I’d rather go find Shen Huaijin.”
Su Yu gritted his teeth and said, “You can squeeze into it.” Without hesitation, he pulled Lin Wanfu upstairs.
Thus, he failed to notice the ambiguous smile that curled at the corner of Lin Wanfu’s lips.
In the past, she had only cared about eating, drinking, and having fun, paying no attention to people or matters in the business circle and having little interaction with them.
Now, if she wanted to collect energy for System 0573, she had to understand who Shen Congyan’s partners and competitors were in the business world.
According to the information she had gathered, the projects recently developed by Shen Congyan’s company were mostly in collaboration with the Su family.
So, before attending the Su family’s banquet, she had researched information about the Su family.
Besides Su Yu, the young master, the Su family also had a second daughter, Su Yue, and an eldest son—Su Che, the biological brother of Su Yu and Su Yue.
Su Che’s resume was exceptionally impressive: he studied abroad, graduated from a prestigious university, took over the family business, Su Group, and doubled the company’s assets in just one year.
However, there was very little information about Su Che online, with only one or two blurry photos from business collaborations. Still, one could vaguely see that his facial features were quite outstanding—he probably wasn’t ugly.
Moreover, Su Yu had rosy lips and fair skin, with an exceptionally delicate appearance, looking every bit like a cute little puppy.
From a genetic perspective, as Su Yu’s biological brother, Su Che couldn’t possibly be ugly either.
But she still had to see Su Che in person.
If Su Che wasn’t good-looking, she would have no choice but to reluctantly look for other targets.
She was a sucker for good looks and didn’t want to settle for less.
Before long, Lin Wanfu followed Su Yu upstairs and entered a room decorated in cool tones.
“You can change in my room. I’ll wait for you in the living room on the second floor,” Su Yu said, handing Lin Wanfu a brand-new evening gown he had taken from his sister’s room.
Before leaving, he added with concern, “Don’t go to the wrong room. It’s fine if you enter other rooms by mistake, but whatever you do, don’t go into the room diagonally opposite mine. That’s my brother’s room. He’s not feeling well today, and if you disturb his rest, he’ll get angry at you.”
Lin Wanfu nodded obediently. Only after seeing Su Yu go downstairs reassured did she toss the evening gown aside.
This Su Yu was more naive than she had expected.
She had been worrying about how to get close to his brother, Su Che, and he had handed her the opportunity.
After a moment of thought, Lin Wanfu walked down the corridor and pushed open the slightly ajar door diagonally opposite Su Yu’s room, stepping inside.
The room was dimly lit, with the curtains drawn tightly.
As soon as Lin Wanfu entered the room, she heard a deep, hoarse voice beside her ear.
“Get me a glass of water.”
Hearing the somewhat slurred words, Lin Wanfu turned on the room’s light and looked toward the bed.
There, a man lay covered with a thin blanket, his cold face flushed with an unusual redness. His brows were tightly furrowed, and his hair was tousled, yet none of this detracted from his appearance. Instead, it added a touch of fragile, sickly charm.

】Lin Wanfu walked slowly to the bedside, looking at the man lying there in a daze. She reached out and touched his forehead—it was burning hot with fever.
Feeling the coolness of Lin Wanfu’s hand, Su Che nuzzled greedily against her palm.
A continuous tingling sensation from her palm made Lin Wanfu instinctively want to pull her hand back.
But just as she was about to move, her hand was firmly grasped by Su Che.
Then, still in a daze, Su Che gently pressed her hand against his own face. His scorching cheek felt like a piece of red-hot iron, unbearably hot.
“What are you doing? Let go of me.”
As if sensing Lin Wanfu’s displeasure, Su Che let out a few faint, fragmented murmurs from between his lips.
“Don’t go… I feel terrible…”
