As she was thinking, three people walked toward her from the small path opposite her.
One walked in front while the other two followed behind.
When they drew closer, she finally saw the face of the man leading them.
Damn, he was handsome.
She had seen all sorts of people in her life, yet she had never seen a man this attractive before.
A perfectly sculpted face, sharp jawline.
High brow bones, fierce brows, and deep set eyes.
His nose bridge was so straight it looked like someone could slide down it, while his thin lips were lightly pressed together.
He wore a meticulously tailored black suit that made his shoulders appear especially broad and straight.
He was extremely tall, at least one meter eighty eight or taller by her estimate.
And his proportions were outrageously good, long legs and a narrow waist.
Every step he took practically landed right on her heart.
Until the original owner’s memories informed her that this man was the male lead, Lin Yanchen.
Alright then.
She silently tucked away the little thoughts she had just entertained about approaching him in the future.
What a pity. Such a terrible pity.
Such a handsome man just had to be Lin Yanchen.
She could not afford to provoke him at all.
Clearly, Lin Yanchen had no intention of speaking to her either.
He merely glanced at her indifferently before withdrawing his gaze and stepping onto the main road.
Instead, it was the two men following behind him who kept staring at her.
The two smaller paths merged into the main road leading toward the entrance, so Song Tang inevitably ended up walking alongside Lin Yanchen and the others.
Song Zhenkun’s eyes were sharp enough to recognize Lin Yanchen at once.
“Tangtang, isn’t that your boyfriend?”
Song Tang had just been about to reply when her cheap father said, “Come on, let’s go say hello.”
What?!
Song Tang’s scalp tingled. “Dad, maybe that’s not a good idea.”
But her attempt to stop him was useless. Song Zhenkun had already staggered toward Lin Yanchen.
Song Tang tugged at Song Zhenkun’s sleeve from behind, attempting physical restraint.
But it was no use.
Song Zhenkun had already reached the three men.
Lin Yanchen, Pei Qian, and Gu Zhao all greeted him politely.
“Uncle Song.”
It was entirely out of courtesy, without the slightest warmth behind it.
Yet Song Zhenkun was very pleased and immediately opened up the conversation.
“Yanchen.”
“How have you been lately? Too busy? Why haven’t you taken our Tangtang out recently?”
Standing beside them, Song Tang took a deep breath.
The original owner’s dad, please just stop talking already.
The man did not like your daughter at all. They had just crossed paths face to face earlier, and he had practically acted as though she did not exist.
At this point, she was completely certain.
This male lead truly did not like “Song Tang,” his girlfriend, even a little.
Lin Yanchen stopped walking.
His gaze swept across Song Zhenkun’s face before falling briefly on Song Tang beside him.
After only one glance, he quickly looked away again.
“I’ve been fairly busy lately.”
His tone was flat, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
Song Zhenkun smiled. “Busy is good. The Lin Corporation is so massive, your work must be exhausting too.”
As he spoke, his tone carried the kindness of an elder.
“Our Tangtang can be a little spoiled sometimes, so I hope you’ll be more tolerant of her.”
Standing beside him, Song Tang nearly failed to maintain the smile on her face.
Tolerant of what exactly?
They were breaking up in half a month.
But she could not say any of that, so she maintained a polite smile while praying inwardly for this conversation to end quickly.
Seeing that Lin Yanchen still seemed willing to continue chatting, she finally could not help lifting her head to look at him.
With a sweet enough to kill smile, she said, “Yanchen.”
“If you’re busy, then you should go ahead first.”
You dislike her this much, so why keep standing here talking?
Anyone could tell from those words that she was trying to send him away.
As the person being dismissed, Lin Yanchen unexpectedly lifted his eyes and glanced at Song Tang.
Alright then. He withdrew his gaze and gave Song Zhenkun a slight nod.
“Uncle Song, we still have things to do, so we’ll leave first.”
Song Zhenkun waved his hand. “Alright, go ahead and get busy.”
Pei Qian and Gu Zhao also nodded slightly before following Lin Yanchen away.
But in truth, they had not wanted to leave so soon.
Earlier, both of them had secretly glanced at Song Tang several extra times.
There was a strange feeling they could not quite describe.
It just felt like Song Tang had not only become prettier, but her entire aura had changed as well.
They still wanted to keep watching her, yet she had already chased them away.
Song Tang stood where she was, watching their figures disappear into the night.
Finally gone. She turned to look at Song Zhenkun.
“Dad, let’s go. The driver is waiting outside the entrance.”
Song Zhenkun was still smiling as he watched the direction Lin Yanchen had left, sighing emotionally.
“That child Yanchen is so polite.”
“He’s just too busy.”
As he spoke, he looked at his daughter.
“Yanchen is the heir to the corporation, so it’s normal for him to be busy. You should try to understand him more and stop throwing tantrums at him.”
Hearing this, Song Tang felt conflicted.
When it came to relationships, her father was still far too naive.
He genuinely believed Lin Yanchen sincerely cared about Song Tang. He believed their relationship would last, believed his daughter had found a good man to rely on.
There was no point telling Song Zhenkun the truth now. In half a month, he would naturally find out.
Outside the entrance. Pei Qian and Gu Zhao climbed into Lin Yanchen’s car.
The black Rolls Royce slowly drove away.
Sitting in the front passenger seat, Pei Qian turned around and spoke to Lin Yanchen and Gu Zhao in the back.
“Don’t you guys think Song Tang was really different today?”
“Very different,” Gu Zhao replied directly, getting straight to the point. “Was Song Tang just trying to send Yanchen away earlier?”
Pei Qian could not help laughing softly. “Come on, at least give Yanchen some dignity.”
Lin Yanchen remained expressionless. “I don’t care.”
But Gu Zhao was now extremely interested. “I think Song Tang has become pretty interesting. Why don’t you postpone the breakup for a while?”
Lin Yanchen shot him a glare. “We agreed on one month, so it’s one month. Not a single extra day.”
“Alright then.” Gu Zhao gave up. “Go ahead and break up. Congratulations in advance on your freedom.”
Song Tang helped Song Zhenkun into the Song family’s car.
The moment he sat down, he fell asleep.
Leaning against the seat, Song Tang closed her eyes and mentally reviewed her plans.
Half a month later, although Lin Yanchen would propose breaking up, he would also give her a huge breakup settlement.
She needed to find a way to get as much money as possible. Free money was free money.
After that, she would need to intervene in Song Zhenkun’s business and change the Song family’s fate of bankruptcy.
Before transmigrating here, she herself had also been born into a wealthy and prestigious family.
Unfortunately, just after resolving the internal power struggle within her family, she had transmigrated into this world.
She had not even gotten the chance to properly enjoy life yet.
She certainly did not want the Song family to go bankrupt either.
Having long grown accustomed to a luxurious life, she could not endure hardship at all now.
As for Lin Yanchen and the female lead, that had nothing to do with her.
She would not frame the female lead, nor would she cling to the male lead and do all those suicidal things.
She only wanted to live well together with the original owner’s somewhat foolish father.
The car drove into a villa district.
Song Tang looked outside through the window.
The villa district under the night sky was so quiet it resembled a painting.
Neatly trimmed ornamental trees lined both sides of the wide roads, and every few dozen meters stood a vintage style courtyard lamp.
The warm light gently spilled downward, spreading soft golden pools across the ground.
In the distance, detached villas could vaguely be seen scattered throughout the area, each separated by enough distance to ensure privacy while still standing independently.
The car stopped in front of a villa.
Song Tang pushed open the door and stepped out first before circling around to help Song Zhenkun out of the car.
Song Zhenkun was still asleep. As she helped him out, he grunted twice before falling silent again.
The butler waiting at the entrance immediately came forward and took Song Zhenkun from her.
“Miss, leave him to me.”
“Alright.” Song Tang loosened her grip.
