“…”
Qu Mengjun’s words left Wei Yan completely speechless.
How was it that he had set the trap, yet he was the one who ended up caught in it?!
Instinctively, he glanced toward the window. Fortunately, the escape route he had planned earlier wasn’t far from the bed.
With that distance, he believed escaping from a woman shouldn’t be a problem.
His face turned pale. Knowing he couldn’t delay any longer, Wei Yan took a deep breath, his muscles tensing instantly as he prepared to flee.
But the very next second, he froze.
Qu Mengjun tilted her head, looking at him with eyes curved into crescent moons.
“Let’s see~ where~ you~ think~ you’re~ running~ to~”
A light, bell-like laugh escaped her lips as she slowly began pulling him back.
No matter how desperately he struggled, it didn’t change the outcome in the slightest.
His jaw nearly dropped. Wei Yan had never imagined that in a contest of strength, he would lose to a woman.
Where on earth did she get such strength?!
“Hehehe~ hehehehe~”
Her glossy lips parted slightly as Qu Mengjun let out a laugh like some lecherous old man, even a trace of drool slipping from the corner of her mouth.
Yet her face was so beautiful that even such shameless behavior only made her seem oddly cute.
Only Wei Yan found it terrifying.
He couldn’t outmatch her in strength, and he couldn’t escape.
Naturally, he was dragged back without resistance.
One hand braced against the bed, Qu Mengjun slowly stood up. One foot pressed onto his shoulder as she looked down at him from above.
“Do you know what a woman should do when the man she likes is mischievous and refuses to listen?”
Her red lips curved into a charming yet cunning smile. At this moment, the way she looked at Wei Yan was like a white fox that had caught its prey.
Wei Yan didn’t answer. His gaze drifted toward the long legs beside his head, wrapped in white stockings beneath the torn wedding dress. His throat bobbed unconsciously.
“The answer, of course, is… to give him a proper~ proper~ lesson.”
A dark red gleam flickered in her beautiful eyes.
Right now, the way she looked at Wei Yan was like a wolf staring at a delicious little rabbit.
Logically speaking, having a beauty like Qu Mengjun want to do something to him should have been something to celebrate.
After all, no matter what, Wei Yan wasn’t at a loss.
But only he knew what would happen if he did something that defied the laws of this world.
He would be erased from existence.
Suddenly, he felt a cold little hand pat his shoulder. Startled, Wei Yan jerked and quickly turned his head.
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.
But when he turned back, Qu Mengjun was already sitting on his lap.
A giant warning sign seemed to flash above his head.
Wei Yan shook his head, pupils dilated, completely unable to accept what was happening.
At this moment, there was only one sentence in his mind.
Where the hell is the protagonist?!
This is your wedding! Hurry up and come save me!
He had entered the bridal chamber at 22:00, and now it was already 01:00.
He had done everything possible to buy the protagonist three full hours.
Even if the guy had gone to deliver a baby, he should have finished by now!
Sob… anyone, please, just come save this pitiful little villain…
…
At the same time, the very protagonist Wei Yan was desperately thinking about was currently drinking in a private room with his newly made brothers.
On the last night before the wedding, they naturally had to indulge themselves properly.
“Didn’t expect you’d be getting married tomorrow, Brother Lin. And to one of the top beauties in Magic Capital at that. I’m really envious. Damn it, I haven’t even held a woman’s hand yet!”
“Hah, nothing to envy. Marriage is a man’s grave. After getting married, I probably won’t have many chances to come out and have fun like this with you guys anymore. It’s a shame we met too late—just yesterday. Who would’ve thought I’d find such kindred spirits like you? No more words. Let me raise a toast to everyone!”
“Hahaha! Brother Lin is straightforward!”
Naturally, Lin Dineng and his newfound brothers drank to their hearts’ content all night.
After that, he was somehow dragged to a nightclub.
As for those brothers he had just met, he had no idea where they went.
Rubbing his slightly dizzy head, Lin Dineng casually grabbed a phone nearby and checked the time.
“About time to go prepare for tonight’s wedding,” he muttered.
Then he glanced at the date.
His expression changed instantly.
“The 8th? Shouldn’t it be the 7th today?!”
Thinking the phone was faulty, he picked up another phone from the floor and checked again.
There were many phones scattered around, but only his own had the date lagging behind by one day.
“…”
“!!!”
Only then did Lin Dineng realize.
“Damn it, which bastard changed the date on me?!”
…
Night fell, and a bright full moon hung high in the dark sky.
Suddenly jolting awake, Wei Yan sprang up from the soft bed like a carp leaping from water. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his face still filled with lingering fear.
The first thing he did after waking up was reach for his phone, intending to complain to his friends about the nightmare he had just had.
He had dreamed that the Qu Family’s young lady—the famous beauty of Magic Capital—had…
To be honest, it had felt incredibly real.
Strangely, though, no matter how much he searched, he couldn’t find his phone.
And then he realized something terrifying.
Could it be…
No, impossible!
The moment the thought appeared, he rejected it outright.
After all, for Qu Mengjun—a female lead—to say she liked him… that was something that could only happen in dreams. How could it possibly happen in reality?
“Right, it must be one of the maids at home. How annoying. Which little troublemaker did this? If I find out, I’ll definitely teach her a lesson.”
Wei Yan forced a stiff expression, muttering to himself in an attempt to reassure himself.
But unfortunately…
Even this last bit of hope he clung to was quickly shattered.
“Mmm… darling, can you not talk so loudly… I’m so tired… I want to rest a little more…”
A soft, drowsy murmur from a girl echoed by his ear.
Wei Yan’s body froze as if petrified. Even the night sky outside seemed to flash with lightning at that moment.
Like a puppet on strings, he slowly turned his neck, inch by inch, to look beside him.
The girl from his nightmare lay there, curled on her side.
If it were any ordinary man, seeing such a scene would probably make him so excited he’d get a nosebleed on the spot.
But Wei Yan felt his limbs turn ice-cold in an instant.
Letting out a scream, he shouted “No!” as he scrambled to grab his clothes from the floor and rushed out of the room in panic.
Only Qu Mengjun remained behind, staring resentfully at the open door.
Because only Wei Yan understood what had just happened.
He, Wei Yan.
A mere villain who could be erased at any moment by the world’s governing system if he deviated even slightly.
After nine lives of struggle, just when he thought he could finally follow the script properly and return to his original world…
He had actually slept with the female lead.
