Chapter 34 - I Won't Go Out, I Just Won't Go Out

Ye Aotian’s plan was simple. Sending Chen Fan to prison was the first gift for Lin Qingyue. The second gift was capital.

Lin Qingyue was short on money, so he planned to send her some. Not much, just Five Billion. Enough to help Lin Qingyue through her financial crisis.

With the gift of money, Ye Aotian believed that inviting Lin Qingyue out on a date again would be incredibly easy. However, things seemed to have taken an odd turn.

“She … impossible. How could she possibly bail out that useless Chen Fan? This must be the Chen family’s threat or the Lin family elders’ pressure. Damn Chen Fan, using your family’s influence to make my woman do such things. Just wait and see.”

Meanwhile, at the detention center, Chen Fan was looking at the order in front of him, frustrated.

“You can leave now. Someone has bailed you out.”

Damn it, I’ve only had a few hours of peace, and now someone’s bailing me out?

“Is it Sister Jin Lan?”

“No, it’s not Jin Lan.”

Then who the hell is it?

“It’s Lin Qingyue who bailed you out.”

What the hell?! This female lead, are you crazy? What’s wrong with you? Have you lost your mind? Could it be that my father threatened her? But that doesn’t seem right. My father isn’t that bored, and the trivial matters in Qincheng aren’t worth his attention.

My mother? If my mom was going to bail me out, she would have come herself. Normally, she’d just scold me a little and take me out.

But Lin Qingyue, what are you doing here so fast? Did you skip breakfast because you were in a hurry to eat some Oreos? Damn it, if you come near me, I’ll use the thunder spell I just learned and zap you!

“I’m not leaving! No matter what, I won’t leave. How can you just arrest me whenever you feel like it, and now you’re telling me to leave? No way, I’m telling you!”

Might as well stick to my role as the useless rich second-generation. That’s the best approach.

The officers were at a loss, looking at Chen Fan throwing a tantrum.

Come on, man, stop causing trouble. The new guy didn’t know better and arrested you, but at least give us old-timers a little face, right?

At that moment, Jin Lan stood by the door and said, “Since you can leave, you should go.”

Seeing Jin Lan, Chen Fan hesitated, then with a miserable expression, said, “Sister Jin, they arrested me! I want to make sure these people all die! How dare they arrest me!”

Jin Lan looked at Chen Fan helplessly. Come on, man, stop acting. Are you addicted to playing this role?

“In fact, I ordered them to arrest you, and there are reasons for that.”

“Huh? What’s going on?”

“Li Wenqiang touched something he shouldn’t have. You know I have zero tolerance for that.”

That made sense, but also didn’t. I don’t care why I was arrested; I care about why I am being released!

“Was it Lin Qingyue who bailed me out?”

“Yes, she’s waiting at the entrance.”

Chen Fan immediately switched to his bootlicker mode and ran outside.

Seeing Lin Qingyue standing there holding an umbrella, he beamed and said, “Xiaoyue, I didn’t expect you to be the one who cares about me the most.”

“Our families have always been close. Since you got into trouble, of course, I’d come. Don’t read too much into it.”

“I know … I know. Xiaoyue, have you had breakfast yet? Are you a little hungry? Let me treat you to breakfast, okay?”

If the Oscars don’t nominate me, then they might as well cancel the entire award.

Reject me. Come on, reject me. I’ve already thought of my next lines.

“Sure.”

“Give me a second … What did you say?”

Lin Qingyue looked at Chen Fan and said, “I said sure. What’s wrong?”

I … you … what the hell?! Chen Fan couldn’t believe it and pointed at Lin Qingyue.

Seeing Chen Fan’s stunned reaction, Lin Qingyue couldn’t help but chuckle. That laugh stunned everyone at the police station.

She was truly beautiful, no wonder she was known as the most beautiful woman in Qincheng.

How could you agree? You shouldn’t have agreed! Big sis, you’re on the wrong path—you can’t do this. You … damn it.

Jin Lan said, “Since we’re having breakfast, let’s all go. After that, we’ll tidy up and head to work.”

Chen Fan nodded helplessly. He could only follow the two women out.

The investigation into Li Wenqiang’s murder revealed that it was carried out decisively, so it clearly wasn’t Chen Fan. Besides, Chen Fan had no motive to kill Li Wenqiang.

This situation made Li Long furious, and the police were working overtime on the investigation.

It wouldn’t take long for Li Long to trace everything back to Ye Aotian. The two of them would soon find themselves locked in a deadly conflict.

As for how things would develop, Chen Fan didn’t care—he didn’t have much involvement in the plot anyway.

But with Lin Qingyue by my side, this feels too strange, doesn’t it? Damn it, in the entire novel, there weren’t this many scenes with Chen Fan and Lin Qingyue together. Most of the time, it was just Chen Fan having a one-sided crush on her.

The breakfast place they chose was a simple little restaurant nearby called “Sanbao Congee Shop.”

After ordering breakfast, Chen Fan started thinking.

Damn it, what should I do now? Both female leads are sitting beside me. But this scene wasn’t supposed to happen. Damn it, I’m the villain. What am I supposed to do now? Should I stick to the bootlicker role? Maintain the character? Or should I ignore them? But if I drop the act, I’ll definitely get suspicious looks.

“This is hot, be careful.”

Lin Qingyue nodded.

“Mhm, this bun is your favorite, isn’t it?”

Lin Qingyue nodded again and said, “Thank you.”

Compared to hypocrites, Lin Qingyue didn’t hate Chen Fan as much.

But as for Ye Aotian, she genuinely disliked him.

Damn it, Chen Fan thought, there’s something wrong with women nowadays. I have to straighten out this plot. That means I need to do something to make this woman hate me.

After thinking for a moment, he reached out and pinched Lin Qingyue’s ear.

“Your ear is really pretty.”

Zzzt—Lin Qingyue shivered and jumped in surprise.

What just happened? Static electricity?

Chen Fan had already moved his face closer. Hit me, I’m ready. Come on, do what a female lead is supposed to do!
