Luxury flat.
At the dining table.
The man’s eyes were full of impatience, his tone cool. “Call off the engagement. Little Li is back.”
Shen Yan leaned back in his chair, quietly watching the man sitting across from him.
Hah!
He had transmigrated into a book!
In the blink of an eye!
He had become the tiny cannon fodder in Overbearing Movie Star’s Nightly Pet, a character who shared his exact name: Shen Yan.
And the man opposite him was called Lu Xingchuan. He was currently his fiancé, and also the male lead of this book.
The “Little Li” Lu Xingchuan mentioned was his white moonlight, whose full name was Xie Li.
In the novel, Lu Xingchuan and Xie Li loved and fought over each other in a vicious tug-of-war, while he, the villain, kept jumping in and out of the plot, only to die horribly in the end.
Hiss.
Since I’m here, I might as well do this properly.
Genius baby, step one…
Sweep away morality!
Be myself again!
Having quickly accepted the fact that he had transmigrated into a book, Shen Yan picked at his ear and spun the phone in his hand. “What did you just say? I didn’t hear you clearly.”
The impatience on Lu Xingchuan’s face deepened.
“Stop putting on an act. Do you really think I’d marry you? Don’t be delusional. You’re not even worth a single hair on Little Li’s head. Sign the agreement already, and we’ll call off the engagement.”
Shen Yan glanced at the engagement termination agreement laid out in front of him.
He skimmed through it. What the hell? Not giving him a single benefit and still expecting to break off the engagement?
Break it off my ass!
He tapped the table with his fingers. “Two million,” Shen Yan said to Lu Xingchuan.
The disgust in Lu Xingchuan’s eyes deepened at once. “Don’t think I don’t know. No matter what conditions you propose, your real goal is to get my body. You disgust me!”
With that, Lu Xingchuan stood up angrily and turned to leave.
Shen Yan: …
How bold!
You’re actually comparing yourself to money?
Flies don’t bite a seamless egg.
Whether you’re a fly is not for you to decide!
The instant Lu Xingchuan turned to leave, Shen Yan sprang onto the table.
“When we first set the engagement, your career hit a bottleneck and you took two million from me. What now? Since you’re breaking off the engagement, you’re not paying back the money?
“People live for face and trees live for bark. Having a mistress doesn’t make you righteous.
“Pay me back!”
He had no megaphone, just his own mouth, yet he could still shout clear across the horizon.
Lu Xingchuan froze mid-step and turned back in shock, looking at Shen Yan standing on the table.
Then his eyes turned cold, and he sneered. “Pay you back? That two million was money you knelt and begged me to accept. I feel sick just looking at you one more time. Don’t you think you made a profit by trading two million for me being your boyfriend for three years?”
A profit, my ass!
They had dated for three years, and Lu Xingchuan had never publicly acknowledged the original owner’s identity.
Instead, he had used the original owner’s connections in the circle to step on him and fight for resources.
Over three years, Lu Xingchuan had grown hotter and hotter, rising all the way to become a popular movie star.
Meanwhile, the original owner had gone from a fresh-faced rising star three years ago to a rat that everyone in the entertainment industry wanted to beat.
Heh!
Tremble!
The gears of fate are about to start flying!
“During our chat just now, I recorded it. If you don’t pay me back, I’ll send it to your new mistress, post it online, print it into flyers, and distribute them all over every street and every colorectal hospital!”
The fury on Lu Xingchuan’s face surged visibly.
Shen Yan tilted his head, smiling so broadly that all eight teeth showed.
“Two million. Transfer it to me within five minutes, and we’ll wipe the slate clean. Otherwise…”
The next second.
He took out his phone.
Pressed play.
“Call off the engagement…”
Lu Xingchuan’s voice played out from the phone.
Lu Xingchuan’s heart tightened, and panic and rage surged in his eyes. This bitch had actually recorded it.
He wasn’t afraid of the recording, but he was afraid that this bitch’s constant talk about a mistress would hurt Xie Li.
Grinding his teeth, Lu Xingchuan said, “Shen Yan, you are revolting!”
After that, he strode forward, reaching out to drag Shen Yan off the table.
He had to get that recording back.
Shen Yan raised an eyebrow.
Using the advantage of standing on the table, he lifted his foot and kicked Lu Xingchuan straight in the face.
Bang!
Lu Xingchuan immediately sprayed blood from his nose and was kicked so hard that stars burst in front of his eyes as he smashed backward into the door.
He stared at Shen Yan in shock and fury.
Shen Yan had actually dared to hit him?
“Shen Yan, you…”
Shen Yan’s smile widened as he cut Lu Xingchuan off. “Add another two million, and I’ll sell you the recording. Otherwise, I’ll call the police and say you scammed me out of money and marriage!”
Burning with rage, Lu Xingchuan left.
Three minutes later.
Shen Yan successfully received a text saying four million had been deposited.
Along with a WeChat message that practically dripped with gritted teeth.
『I gave you the money. Don’t bother me again. If you dare bully Little Li on tomorrow’s variety show, don’t blame me for blacklisting you directly!』
Shen Yan clicked his tongue.
So this is how you play the male lead? Look at that… you just handed me another handle.
Tap-tap~
He double-tapped the screen and saved a screenshot.
Sure enough, three seconds later, the other party recalled a message.
Shen Yan bared his teeth and grinned smugly. Too late to take it back.
Just as he was feeling pleased, his phone popped up with a push notification.
The original owner was madly in love with Lu Xingchuan and had set him as a special follow on Weibo, so as long as Lu Xingchuan posted anything, he would know immediately.
#Lu Xingchuan Xie Li#
This hashtag was sitting at the very top of the trending list, already blown up to deep purple-red.
Shen Yan followed the tag in.
It was a Weibo post Xie Li had made one minute ago.
『Xie Li』: I’m back. Did anyone miss me?
Three years ago, at the height of his fame, Xie Li had suddenly chosen to leave the entertainment industry and study abroad.
Back then, it made his fans cry in misery.
Now that he was back, his fans were cheering wildly, but after all, even at his peak he could only barely be counted as a rising star.
The entertainment industry never lacks fresh faces.
Three years had passed, and more than half his fans had already switched to new favorites.
That his first Weibo post after returning could blow up like this was due not only to his new company’s full-force promotion, but also to another reason.
Lu Xingchuan had reposted Xie Li’s Weibo.
『Lu Xingchuan』: I’ve been waiting for you @Xie Li.
Lu Xingchuan was a hot star on the rise, and that one sentence directly sent Xie Li to the top trending spot.
『Ahhhhhh, the dead CP is attacking me!』
『According to reliable sources, Lu Xingchuan and Xie Li are going to appear together on a dating variety show!』
Feeling the festive, New Year’s-like atmosphere on Weibo, Shen Yan couldn’t hold back the joy of suddenly having four million. He moved his fingers and posted on Weibo too.
『Shen Yan』: Excited heart, trembling hands, a dumbass waiting like a dog, just wanting to have a drink with you!!!
The instant this post went out, it immediately drew a flood of comments.
『Shen Bitch’s ass itching again? No cucumbers at home? Come out and embarrass yourself!』
『He’s obviously jealous. Everyone knows Shen Yan likes Lu Xingchuan, but Lu Xingchuan only has Xie Li in his heart and won’t even look at him.』
『Seeing Lu Xingchuan and Xie Li about to get back together, he’s jumping around for attention like a clown. So disgusting.』
Shen Yan looked at the overwhelming abuse pouring in and happily moved his fingers again.
Then he sent out the screenshot he had just saved.
