“Welcome home, young mistress!”
Yu Xiyue released her luggage and walked out with light steps, showing no signs of being four months pregnant.
Five years!
She could finally bid farewell to bland Western food and return home.
Damn plot armor!
She had gone abroad to study at eighteen, and every time she wanted to return home, something would go wrong.
There’d be a car accident on the way to the airport, a storm preventing takeoff at the airport, or even if the plane took off, it would turn back for various reasons.
She could even travel to other countries, but the moment she tried to transfer flights back home, accidents would still happen.
It was as if the plot was determined to keep her trapped abroad, forcing her to play the role of the White Moonlight who’d been away for five years.
Six months ago, stubborn as ever, she went to the airport again, only to collapse dramatically while checking in.
When she woke up, Yu Xiyue suddenly realized she was the villainous female supporting character—the White Moonlight—in a novel.
The female lead was her Substitute, An Wanwan.
The male lead was her Childhood sweetheart, Gu Feiran.
Hah.
This White Moonlight Substitute trope was such a cliché!
Gu Feiran, a domineering CEO, actually couldn’t take a plane abroad to see his White Moonlight.
Was he restricted from high-consumption activities?
If so, she’d clap her hands in delight.
In the original novel, after Yu Xiyue returned home, she deliberately targeted An Wanwan because her Childhood sweetheart had changed his heart. Her Simps all bullied An Wanwan.
In the end, she died, her younger brother’s legs were broken, her family went bankrupt, and her Simps were all driven to bankruptcy by Gu Feiran.
After gaining awareness, Yu Xiyue cursed for three days and three nights.
Stupid plot, damn nonsense!
Gu Feiran hadn’t come to see her in five whole years—what feelings were left?
That damn man wasn’t worth her efforts.
Her own life was more important.
Given that she hadn’t been able to return home for five years due to various reasons, she worried she’d still be controlled by the plot after returning. So, four months ago, she went all out.
Childhood sweethearts, Simps—stay away from her!
She was pregnant now!
As for the baby’s father…
Thanks for the genes.
That guy was pretty handsome.
“After five years apart, young mistress is still as beautiful! But young mistress seems to have gained a little weight…”
Uncle Lin pushed the luggage cart, tears streaming down his face, “Young mistress suffered so much abroad…”
She had suffered indeed.
Every time she tried to return home, she was tormented.
But now, she had taken the first step in resisting the plot.
With a baby in her belly, how could she play the villainous female supporting character?
She was going to be a gentle, beautiful single mother.
“Yu Xiyue?”
Who was that???
Turning around, she saw the legendary male and female leads. Plot Master, can’t you just leave me alone?
Do I look like a rich young lady who’d ruin her family over a man?
Gu Feiran was accompanied by two people—his male assistant and the original female lead, An Wanwan.
Yu Xiyue’s eyes were drawn to the beauty. An Wanwan had fair skin, her long hair tied up simply, wearing a plain professional outfit.
No wonder she was her Substitute.
Even with only forty percent resemblance, she was this beautiful!
No wonder someone fell for her.
“After five years apart, your taste is still the same, huh? Still into this type…” Yu Xiyue swept a disdainful glance over An Wanwan, “Was she hired just because she looks like me?”
OMG!
What is my mouth saying?
This isn’t what I think inside!
Plot Master, enough already!
Enough is enough!
Female lead, female lead, I bear no ill will toward you!
“President Gu, is this why you hired me back then?” An Wanwan’s eyes welled with tears, “I joined the company to work, not to date!”
After saying that, she pushed her luggage and ran off.
“Hurry and chase after her!”
Yu Xiyue pointed at An Wanwan’s retreating back, exasperated, “Why are you just standing there? Be careful of the Chasing Wife Crematorium later!”
If those two got together quickly, maybe the Plot Master would leave her alone?
After five years apart, the Gu Feiran who was just over twenty back then had matured greatly. Wearing a well-tailored high-end suit, the domineering CEO’s signature slicked-back hair, he coldly adjusted his glasses.
He said, “We have a purely professional superior-subordinate relationship. Don’t misunderstand.”
Hah.
Male leads in Substitute trope stories always say that at first.
In the end, they still get the White Moonlight killed.
Screw you!
Yu Xiyue rolled her eyes hard. Could a man who didn’t even know who he liked really have the ability to bankrupt so many companies?
The male lead’s halo was truly powerful.
Plot Master, you’ve wronged me!!!
Gu Feiran took long strides, catching up to Yu Xiyue in two steps, “After you return this time, are you leaving again?”
“I’m not leaving.”
This time back home, she was determined to reclaim everything that belonged to her—her wealth and family.
And those Simps.
Was calling those big shots Simps a bit narcissistic?
Oh well, the plot sets the female supporting character as a beautiful femme fatale.
When she was young, she did many good deeds, becoming the White Moonlight for many people.
Gu Feiran’s gaze remained fixed on Yu Xiyue the entire time, burning intensely, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, “I’ll make arrangements and host a welcome party for you tonight.”
“Let’s do it in a few days. I need to adjust to the time difference.”
He looked slightly disappointed, “Actually, these past five years, I wanted to go abroad to see you. But every time I tried to find you, something would happen. Yueyue, are you angry with me?”
They were Childhood sweethearts. Yueyue had always been well-mannered since childhood. The sarcastic remarks she made earlier didn’t sound like her.
Gu Feiran felt she must be angry to speak so carelessly.
He couldn’t blame her.
Yu Xiyue smiled lightly, looking indifferent, “So that’s what happened. I thought you were restricted from high-consumption activities.”
What a pity.
He wasn’t restricted from high consumption after all.
The male lead was indeed the male lead.
Wealthy, powerful, well-connected—no difficulty could defeat him.
Except for the White Moonlight.
“Yueyue has become more humorous after five years abroad.” Gu Feiran opened the car door for her, “Rest well first. I’ll schedule the welcome party for three days later, is that okay?”
“Sure.”
Yu Xiyue closed the car door, her smile instantly vanishing.
Uncle Lin placed the luggage and sat in the passenger seat, turning around cheerfully, “Our young mistress and President Gu are still such a perfect match! Now that you’re back, you’ll probably get married, right? It’s been so long since our family had a happy occasion.”
Yu Xiyue swiftly refused, “No! Uncle Lin, No! We’re not a match. Gu Feiran and I are absolutely impossible.”
Uncle Lin looked as if his favorite ship had sunk, “Young mistress doesn’t like President Gu anymore?”
Yu Xiyue touched her pregnant belly, “No, I don’t. I dated someone abroad. I even have his child. Unfortunately, he died in an accident. I’ve decided to return home and raise the fruit of our love properly.”
Uncle Lin: !!!∑(°Д°ノ)ノ
Driver: (」°ロ°)」
Three shocked faces inside the car.
Yu Xiyue was shocked because she saw a giant billboard of the man she claimed had died.
The baby’s father was named Feng Jingche.
He was actually a top-tier film emperor domestically.
It was all her fault for staying abroad these years, not paying much attention to the domestic entertainment industry. She didn’t even know the man from that night was a big celebrity.
This is bad, this is bad.
She had to hide this well.
Otherwise, the entertainment industry would have another “new child” scandal.
Uncle Lin followed Yu Xiyue’s gaze outside—a jewelry advertisement. He’d arrange to get that for the young mistress right away.
Completely missing the enormous Feng Jingche billboard beside it.
“Young mistress, you’re pregnant!!!!”
The two in front spoke in unison.
