With a gentle and refined demeanor, Lin Dineng took the breakfast from Wei Yan’s hands.
Although he was clearly speaking in Wei Yan’s direction, he didn’t even spare him a glance, as if Wei Yan didn’t exist at all. Instead, he simply smiled politely at Qu Mengjun.
Tilting her head slightly, Qu Mengjun looked back at him, the corners of her lips curving into a charming smile.
To outsiders, it might seem like the two were exchanging affectionate glances.
But only Qu Mengjun herself knew… she was smiling purely because things were unfolding exactly the way she wanted.
After all, in just a moment, she would finally be able to atone for what she had done in her first life.
It was almost her turn to perform.
She remembered it clearly.
In her first life, the next part of the plot had been controlled by the original setting, as if she had lost her mind. After enduring seven whole years of Wei Yan’s “disgusting” persistence—a 1.85-meter-tall, eight-pack, ridiculously handsome young master and the most powerful rich second-generation in the Magic Capital—she had decided to use Lin Dineng to get rid of him.
So after taking the breakfast from Wei Yan… she had actually thrown it straight into the trash in front of him.
Even now, just thinking about it made her want to dig that breakfast out of the trash, kneel in front of Wei Yan, and eat it while kowtowing.
With both mouths if necessary.
After being treated like that, how many men could stay calm?
Naturally, Wei Yan had exploded in anger upon seeing that scene and even tried to lay hands on her.
But in the end, Lin Dineng had stepped in and stopped him.
As for what followed… Qu Mengjun didn’t even want to remember.
That had been the first time she betrayed the man who truly loved her… sob sob.
Thinking back on it now, her first life had been unbelievably foolish.
All because of that damn author!
But this life was different.
This time, without the influence of the setting, she would never let something like that happen again.
Because she was intervening, the plot would be rewritten.
When Wei Yan got angry, the two close friends she had arranged in advance would step in as planned, hold him back, and prevent him from making a scene.
Afterward, things would proceed as planned—Wei Yan would end up embracing both of them, and those two stunning beauties would completely outshine her, making her and Lin Dineng look like clowns.
However, just as Qu Mengjun was quietly delighted…
The next moment, something unexpected happened.
“Qu Mengjun, that’s enough! I’ve chased you for seven years—seven whole years! Every single day, I’ve diligently brought you breakfast. And how have you treated me? Not only do you refuse my food, you’re even going to eat breakfast with another man? Don’t think I don’t know where all the breakfasts I gave you before ended up!” Follow the newest chapters on NovelPing.
“Huh?”
Wei Yan, who was supposed to lose his temper only after she threw the breakfast into the trash, suddenly erupted in anger ahead of time.
“Today, you’re going to eat these buns right in front of me!”
Caught off guard by the sudden barrage of shouting, Qu Mengjun was completely stunned.
Wait… what was going on?!
This wasn’t right. This was completely wrong. She clearly remembered the plot wasn’t supposed to go like this.
Why was Wei Yan suddenly scolding her?
At first glance, it might not seem like a big issue—it was just that Wei Yan got angry earlier than expected.
But Qu Mengjun’s goal today was to restore Wei Yan’s reputation.
In her original plan, she would first throw the breakfast into the trash, and then Wei Yan would get angry. That way, his anger would only be because she had disrespected him.
It would be her fault.
It would have nothing to do with Wei Yan.
But now… if he got angry before she even did anything…
Wouldn’t that make him the one at fault? Wouldn’t it make him seem unreasonable?
That couldn’t happen!
Had she done something extra this time that caused a butterfly effect?
Was it… because of that phone call?!
At that thought, Qu Mengjun suddenly understood.
In her previous life, she and Lin Dineng had run into each other by chance. They hadn’t arranged to have breakfast together beforehand.
So it was very likely that Wei Yan, after hearing from Lin Dineng that they were going to eat together, immediately realized that her earlier claim of having oatmeal was just an excuse to reject him… and that’s why he got angry.
Soon enough, as Wei Yan signaled, a group of black-suited bodyguards surrounded them.
Just as Qu Mengjun expected, the surrounding students immediately began pointing fingers at Wei Yan.
“What the hell? What kind of person is he? She just didn’t accept his breakfast and he’s already acting like he wants to hit her?”
“Hah, I saw through him long ago. You really think being a simp means he’s devoted? That ‘devotion’ is just a persona he deliberately built. For someone like Qu Mengjun, it’s worth it for him to spend seven years. But now that he knows he can’t have her, he’s showing his true colors.”
“Damn, that’s disgusting. No wonder our campus belle would rather eat with that guy Lin than him. Even I’m better than him.”
Hearing the insults directed at Wei Yan, Qu Mengjun stood frozen, as if her mind had crashed.
Lin Dineng, however, had no idea what she was thinking. With a wicked smile that twisted his lips almost ninety degrees, he stepped forward and stood in front of her protectively.
Facing more than a dozen bodyguards alone, he showed no fear at all.
After all, having mastered countless extraordinary ancient martial arts overseas, his goal was to overturn the Four Great Families of the Magic Capital and uncover the truth behind the annihilation of the Lin Family. Get faster updates on novelping.com.
So how could he possibly fear a mere spoiled young master like Wei Yan?
“Miss Qu has already agreed to have breakfast with me today. So you can keep your lousy buns for yourself.”
Without hesitation, he threw the breakfast Wei Yan had prepared into the nearby trash can.
His gaze turned icy as he looked at Wei Yan, his tone arrogant.
The onlookers hadn’t expected him to stand up in such a situation, and their opinion of him instantly soared.
“Didn’t expect this Lin guy to actually step up—he’s got guts!”
“I thought he’d back down, but he’s actually a real man. So handsome I’m about to switch teams!”
“Go for it, handsome! Take down that tyrant young master and his bodyguards! If you can do it, I’ll sleep with you tonight!”
A flamboyantly dressed man with heavy makeup shouted this.
“Me too! If you beat him, Senior Wu Tao will belong to you!”
The atmosphere instantly grew heated.
But listening to the cheers, Lin Dineng suddenly felt an inexplicable chill… especially somewhere behind.
“Lin Dineng, you’d better think carefully. In the Magic Capital, opposing the Wei Family comes with consequences!”
Wei Yan gritted his teeth as he threatened, as if he hadn’t expected Lin Dineng to be so bold.
In reality, though… he was almost grinning from ear to ear inside.
“The Wei Family? Heh, sorry, but even if it’s the King of Heaven himself, if he bullies a woman, I, Lin Dineng, will still stand up!”
As his words fell, he assumed a fighting stance.
Almost instantly, the tension in the air surged.
Just as the battle—one against more than a dozen—was about to begin…
“Miss Qu, how can you just throw away perfectly good food? Didn’t Grandfather Qu Jing teach you to cherish food?”
A graceful figure suddenly stepped out from the crowd.
Everyone present was caught off guard. At such a critical moment, someone had actually intervened, and all eyes turned toward her.
They had assumed that anyone speaking up now would be one of Wei Yan’s lackeys.
But upon closer look…
Wasn’t this the globally famous top-tier idol, Qiu Yurou?!
