【Oh no, the female supporting character is here to cause trouble again—she’s like a lingering ghost!】
【What were the staff thinking? They actually let her in—do they really believe she’s Lu Wenxi’s girlfriend?】
【She’s wearing the Male Lead’s clothes, so those people just misunderstood!】
【Are the Female Lead and the female supporting character really about to appear in the same scene this soon? Which one will the Male Lead choose?】
【He’ll definitely choose the female supporting character right now—he and the Female Lead just met. Damn it, she’s going to get her way again!】
Li Si had already been on the verge of backing out at the door. Hearing so many voices inside made her dizzy, and she thought she should just hurry home!
But seeing the bullet chat say that Lu Wenxi would surely choose her actually emboldened her to push the door open and walk in.
Even though she’d known from the start that there were many people inside, actually seeing more than a dozen young people dressed to the nines, all turning to look at her at once, frightened her so much she couldn’t utter a single word.
Li Si had always been in poor health. From childhood to now, she had mostly stayed at home and rarely went to school.
This made her worse and worse at interacting with people, and she was especially afraid of crowded places.
Later, after certain things happened, she left home. She fell ill on the roadside and nearly died, but fortunately Lu Wenxi found her and took her home—that was the only reason she was alive today.
The once-noisy private room instantly fell dead silent.
Every gaze landed on the girl who had suddenly barged in.
She wore an oversized coat that ended just above her knees, revealing a pair of slender, fair calves.
Her face bore no carefully applied makeup—completely bare and unadorned—yet she was stunningly beautiful. Most striking of all was the ethereal, almost insubstantial quality about her, as if she might vanish the moment you looked away.
Where had this girl come from?
No one had ever heard of such a beautiful girl—at least, no one like her existed in their circle.
The young man closest to her snapped out of it and said warmly, “Miss, are you a friend of Xingye’s too? Come sit over here.”
As he spoke, he reached out to grab Li Si’s arm.
“Don’t touch her!”
Lu Wenxi barked sharply, his expression terrifying, as if he were ready to devour someone, and he strode toward Li Si.
The moment he saw Li Si, he even thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. How could she possibly be here?
When that young man spoke to her and tried to touch her, he realized with complete clarity—it really was her!
A chill surged in his eyes, his lips pressed into a cold, hard line, and a dark aura seemed to radiate from his entire body, making everyone shrink back, not daring to come near.
【Hahaha! The Male Lead is furious. This female supporting character actually dared to follow him here—she’s digging her own grave!】
【Right? Chasing after him will only make the Male Lead hate her more.】
【Am I the only one who thinks the Male Lead is jealous?】
【Jealous of what? She’s just a female supporting character—who else would fight over her?】
【But everyone here is staring, dumbfounded. Honestly, every time I see the female supporting character, I stare too.】
【Same, actually…】
Li Si no longer had any attention to spare for the bullet chat, because she could clearly feel Lu Wenxi’s anger.
Her voice trembling, she said, “Wenxi…”
“Let’s talk outside.”
Lu Wenxi wrapped an arm around Li Si’s shoulders, shielding her against his chest, unwilling to let the people here keep staring at her—he couldn’t bear it even for a second.
He led her out in such an intimate, possessive manner that even a fool could guess what their relationship was.
“Is that girl Wenxi’s girlfriend?”
“She’s so gorgeous! I’ve never seen a girl that beautiful in my life.”
“Seriously, I couldn’t even dream of someone like that. My eyes have been blessed.”
“Like a fairy descended from heaven—no exaggeration at all.”
Those people stared blankly toward the doorway, and even though she was no longer there, they couldn’t bear to look away.
Su Yumeng’s mood instantly turned sour.
She was supposed to be the center of attention today, but the moment that woman showed up, everyone’s focus shifted, treating her like she was invisible. This was the first time she’d ever suffered such humiliating treatment!
How infuriating. Who on earth was that woman?
The others were too intimidated by Lu Wenxi’s anger to follow him out, but Si Yueying was different—he wasn’t afraid of Lu Wenxi at all.
The moment he’d seen Li Si, he’d been overjoyed. He’d been racking his brain trying to find her, and then she appeared on her own!
He’d thought he’d have a chance to talk to her, but she got whisked away by Lu Wenxi.
He wasn’t stupid either. Judging by how intimate they looked, their relationship was clearly anything but ordinary. And they claimed she was just a stranger—were they deliberately keeping him at arm’s length?
Just thinking about it made him furious, so he immediately chased after them.
Seeing Si Yueying going to watch the drama, Shen Xingye and Tang Yi also followed him out the door.
They were curious too—who exactly was that woman?
Lu Wenxi led Li Si out of the private room, still holding her in his arms, his hand gripping her shoulder unconsciously tightening.
“You’re hurting me!”
Only when he heard Li Si’s cry of pain did he seem to come back to his senses and release her. Then he pinned her against the wall and demanded, “Sisi, can you explain why you’re here?”
He had already done his utmost to suppress his rage, speaking to her in a relatively calm tone.
Li Si had already prepared her strategy—she went on the offensive and accused him instead: “It’s your own fault for lying to me! You clearly promised you’d stay home with me today, but you snuck out while I was asleep, so I followed you…”
【She actually thinks she’s in the right! Why would the Male Lead need to report his whereabouts to her?】
【But the Male Lead did promise her! He’s the one who broke his promise—why blame the female supporting character?】
【The female supporting character lives off the Male Lead’s money. What right does she have to throw a tantrum at him?】
【Let her keep acting up. The more she does, the faster the Male Lead will get sick of her. Can’t wait to see her go down!】
The bullet chat’s cold mockery drained Li Si’s confidence, and she began playing the victim.
“I was just so insecure. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have secretly followed you, but I was really scared you’d leave me. Wenxi, you’re all I have…”
Her tears came effortlessly, and she wept so pitifully, so heartbreakingly beautiful, that under normal circumstances Lu Wenxi wouldn’t have stood a chance—he’d have lost all his anger long ago and started comforting her.
But today’s events had crossed his bottom line. She had actually dared to sneak out without his permission!
Not only had the people in the private room seen her, but who knew how many more people had seen her on the way here.
The mere thought of all those people staring at her with those greasy, infatuated eyes made Lu Wenxi so furious he could kill.
His eyes were as black as stagnant water, and he said in a low, eerie voice, “Sisi, don’t tell me you think a few tears will make this whole thing go away? We’re going home first. Then we’ll talk.”
He was about to take Li Si home when he turned around and discovered that the three men had followed them at some point.
Only when they heard Lu Wenxi call her Sisi did it dawn on them—the stray cat they’d picked up was actually the girl standing before them?!
