A wedding dress was far more fragile than a young girl’s heart.
Even Qu Mengjun’s spirit had already been shattered like this, so the fabric on her body was even less resilient. After just a few rough pulls, it was already completely ruined.
Her pitiful, heart-wrenching cries did not stir any guilt in Wei Yan. Instead, they only made him more excited.
After all, he knew very well that he would not let things go all the way. He would never actually do anything to Qu Mengjun.
The protagonist would appear at the most critical moment. When that happened, all he had to do was retreat safely.
He was paving the way for the protagonist. Since he was helping unite a pair of lovers, why would he feel guilty?
Before long, Qu Mengjun’s clothes had been almost completely torn apart by him.
Sensing that if he continued, things might go too far, and that certain things not meant to be seen were already faintly visible, Wei Yan wisely chose to stop.
Calculating the time, the protagonist should be arriving soon, right?
But when he glanced back at the tightly shut door, he still couldn’t hear even the slightest movement from outside.
Why isn’t he here yet?!
There was no way to stop halfway through the act. That would look too fake. But looking at the beauty beneath him… damn it, just looking at her was enough to make his nose bleed.
At a loss for what to do, Wei Yan could only start symbolically taking off his own clothes.
Of course, he wasn’t actually going to strip.
After all, he still had to fight the protagonist later and then jump out the window to escape.
Wei Yan had some dignity. There was no way he would run through the streets naked.
And so… time passed, second by second.
Second by second…
Wei Yan dragged things out like this…
But after what felt like forever, there was still no movement outside the door!
Logically, even if the protagonist hadn’t reached the room yet, there should at least be some commotion in the courtyard downstairs.
Inside the bridal chamber, the atmosphere suddenly turned awkward.
No need to ask—Wei Yan must now look like a complete idiot in Qu Mengjun’s eyes, someone who couldn’t even take off his own clothes properly.
“Damn it! Who designed these clothes? So many messy zippers everywhere. Why is this so hard to undo?!”
To ease the awkwardness, Wei Yan could only shift the blame onto the designer.
“So slow…”
“…?”
Maybe it was just his imagination.
For a brief moment, Wei Yan thought he heard an impatient voice near his ear.
Yes… the kind of voice that came from someone who had waited too long and had completely run out of patience.
But there was clearly no third person in this room.
He paused, lifting his head to look at Qu Mengjun.
She was still wearing that tattered wedding dress, her slender arms desperately trying to cover her body.
At this moment, her head was turned slightly away. She wasn’t even looking at him.
So… he must have misheard.
There was no way a girl about to be violated would feel impatient just because the attacker was too slow at undressing, right?
With that thought, Wei Yan could only continue acting.
Another ten minutes passed.
Altogether, he had spent half an hour just trying to undo the collar of his suit… and still hadn’t managed to open it!
“You were so quick when tearing my wedding dress, but now you’re dragging your feet just to undo a button.”
“Huh? What?”
Wei Yan didn’t catch her first sentence clearly.
“I said… why don’t you just rip this damn zipper off like you did with my dress?”
“That won’t do. I didn’t bring spare clothes. If I tear it, how am I supposed to go back? I don’t want tomorrow’s news headline to be ‘Mr. Wei detained for 15 days for running naked in the street.’”
So immersed in his acting, Wei Yan answered naturally.
But soon, he sensed something was off and looked at her again.
At this moment, the face that could topple nations no longer had any trace of those tearful, pitiful expressions from before.
“Seriously annoying! Wei Yan, you’re a grown man and you don’t even know how to take off your clothes? Have you been pampered so much that maids always do it for you? You’ve become completely useless!”
“Honestly… move aside. Let me do it!”
The next second, under Wei Yan’s stunned gaze, Qu Mengjun casually twisted her slender arm and slipped her wrist free from the rope.
Wei Yan froze.
What the hell… bone-shrinking technique?!
Sitting upright, she actually began taking off his clothes for him.
“You’re really stupid. You’re trying to take off your shirt without removing your tie first? Who taught you that? What, are you going to eat a banana without peeling it next?”
“…What are you doing?”
Wei Yan was completely dumbfounded.
“I’m teaching you step by step how to take off a suit. Are your eyes broken or your ears? I say, Young Master Wei, is this how you play the villain? You can’t even take off your clothes properly, and you still want to sleep with me? Don’t waste your brain—just donate it to a pig!”
Wei Yan admitted he was provoked.
But then he thought about it—he wasn’t actually incompetent. He had just been acting. Did she really think he was that useless rich young master from the plot who couldn’t accomplish anything?
“Move aside! I’ll do it myself. Just wait!”
But when he actually tried, Wei Yan suddenly realized…
After all that fumbling, the stylish zipper on his inner lining had genuinely gotten stuck.
“Heh.”
Qu Mengjun didn’t hide the cold mockery in her beautiful eyes at all.
“Go on, say it again. Who doesn’t need a brain? Say it again and I’ll show you what cruelty really means.”
Being looked down on like an idiot and unable to prove himself, Wei Yan felt a surge of frustration.
“If you’re so capable, you do it! It’s clearly the designer’s fault. If you can undo it, I’ll kneel down and kiss your toes!”
“Heh.”
She sneered, clearly not believing him at all.
“You said it. If I can undo it, you’d better suck on my toes.”
“Fine! That’s only if you can undo it!”
Blinded by anger, Wei Yan forgot everything else. He had completely forgotten why he was here.
Their gazes clashed as if sparks were flying.
Qu Mengjun said nothing more and began seriously studying the stuck zipper.
The entire bridal chamber fell silent again.
But as time passed…
She slowly realized…
She actually couldn’t undo it!
Not only that, during the process, this annoying man kept talking nonsense, mocking her and distracting her.
And the clothes still wouldn’t come off!
Who wouldn’t get frustrated in that situation?!
She lost her patience and resorted to brute force.
Rip!
The poor suit was torn clean in half.
“What the hell?!”
Wei Yan was stunned again.
Why did this woman seem fiercer than him?
“I’m done playing!” Qu Mengjun declared angrily.
Now it was Wei Yan’s turn to laugh.
Wasn’t she just mocking him for not being able to undress?
“Well, well, weren’t you so confident just now? Anyone who didn’t know would think you designed the clothes yourself,” Wei Yan laughed loudly.
“Heh…” She crossed her arms and turned her head away, clearly unconvinced.
“What ‘heh’? You lost, so you lost. You were busy mocking me earlier. As for your punishment… call me ‘Dad,’ and I might let you off.”
“Yes, yes, I lost. Dad, I lost. Are you satisfied now? If you are, can you hurry up and take off your pants? I’ve been waiting so long the flowers have withered.”
Amazing… absolutely amazing.
Winning the bet felt good. But hearing such a beauty call him “Dad” so unwillingly felt even better.
Especially considering he had been her simping follower for seven or eight years in the plot.
What could be more satisfying than making his goddess submit?
But after that moment of satisfaction, Wei Yan suddenly came back to his senses.
“Wait, wait, what?! Qu Mengjun, have you lost your mind? I’m not your husband, okay? Your husband is probably getting beaten up somewhere right now. Why are you telling me to take off my pants? Are you seriously planning to sleep with me?!”
Now Wei Yan was genuinely confused.
What was wrong with this girl?! A villain was trying to assault her, and not only did she not resist, she was helping him undress and even calling him “Dad”!
This was beyond absurd!
“So you still remember what you came here to do? If you keep dragging things out like this, he’ll be back soon.”
Rolling her charming eyes, Qu Mengjun spoke in a tone almost like a dissatisfied wife having an affair.
Not wanting to waste any more time, her soft hand grabbed his collar and easily tore off the already damaged clothing.
Then her attention shifted to the belt at his waist.
“???”
Wei Yan was completely stunned.
Looking at the breathtakingly beautiful face so close to him, he was utterly confused.
What kind of plot development was this?!
This wasn’t how the system’s script was supposed to go!
Something was wrong. Very wrong.
If things didn’t follow the original plan, he would die!
And this wasn’t just a slight deviation anymore. The entire plot was going off the rails!
The female lead was trying to sleep with him!
That was a female lead!
If Wei Yan slept with Qu Mengjun, would he still survive in this wish-fulfillment novel? He would definitely be erased!
He absolutely couldn’t let things continue like this!
The moment he imagined that girl—dragging a blood-soaked blade taller than herself, shrouded in black aura, with glowing red eyes chasing him—his back turned cold.
“Don’t come any closer! Don’t think I’m easy to deal with! I’m warning you!”
Backing away in fear, Wei Yan swallowed hard and, in a panic, slapped her soft hand away.
Clearly confused, Qu Mengjun looked at the back of her hand, now slightly red from the slap.
“What? Just now, who was the one trying to sleep with me? To match your twisted desire to dominate, I even watched several movies last night to practice my acting. What, was I not convincing? Did I not look like a struggling, humiliated girl?”
“I… I was just practicing acting too! Our Wei Family is planning to make a movie recently, and we still need a female lead. I think your acting is pretty good. Are you interested?”
With a stiff smile, Wei Yan no longer cared about the protagonist or the mission.
Right now, he had to escape. Immediately.
No matter what, Qu Mengjun was still just a pampered young lady with no real strength.
Even if the plan had gone wrong, escaping should still be possible… right?
“Sure. As long as it’s something you ask, I won’t refuse… but before filming starts, how about we shoot the bed scene first?”
“No, no, no! This is a wholesome film for all ages 8+! There’s no bed scene!”
The thing women hated most was people who made empty promises.
Clearly displeased, Qu Mengjun’s expression turned visibly dark.
“Can you stop being so shameless, Wei Yan? When I kept my legs together, you forced them apart like you were going to devour me. Now that I’m willing, you’re backing off?”
“I’m telling you, you don’t have a choice today! Either I turn you into a eunuch so you can go find whoever you want, or you behave like a man and show me what you’ve got!”
Climbing onto the bed, Qu Mengjun knelt and slowly crawled toward him.
Her knees pressed into the bed, faintly flushed pink. Her movements were as nimble as a cat.
And with her wedding dress already in tatters, her crawling posture made the already fragile coverage even more precarious.
Her graceful body swayed with each movement, almost making Wei Yan dizzy.
Yet she didn’t seem to care at all.
For a girl, this should have been a shy and important moment.
But if it was Wei Yan, it didn’t matter.
But it mattered to Wei Yan!
“Is there anyone out there?! Help! Uncle Hua! Where are you?! What kind of butler are you? Your young lady has gone crazy!”
“Didn’t you just say it yourself? Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you, okay?”
