Qin Heye got out of his car, picked up the pillow Shi Ning had thrown, then calmly got back in and drove away. Shi Ning watched his Rolls-Royce disappear into the distance, and her anger intensified. She wanted to bombard him with angry messages, but then she remembered he was driving, and safety was paramount. Grudgingly, she gave up the idea.
Instead, she stormed into Qin Heye’s room, flopped onto his bed, and hugged his pillow tight. “Just a beating!” she muttered, pummeling the pillow. “Son of a bitch, big bastard! You don’t believe me at all! You said you had a crush on me for ten years, but you can’t even tell! I’m so mad! I could just beat him to death!”
She continued to pummel the pillow, grumbling about Qin Heye, while scrolling through the barrages.
[What is the big villain doing?! The ambiguous atmosphere was so intense, and he just left without doing anything?!]
[Just now they were kissing, and my pants were practically thrown off. I had tissues ready, and there’s no follow-up?!]
[Can Qin Heye figure out his role? He’s the big villain! Not the gentle, affectionate second male lead who silently protects! He shouldn’t care if Shi Ning is willing or not; he should just force his love on her, using the gold chain! The attic wasn’t built for him to cry in; it was meant to imprison and force the female antagonist!]
[This is the first time I’ve been so disappointed in the big villain! The female antagonist actually took the initiative to hug his neck and kiss him, and he just didn’t want it anymore!]
[Why does the big villain want not only her body but also her heart?! Anyway, sooner or later he’s going to force himself on her, so if he can’t get her heart, getting her body is still acceptable!]
[What kind of ‘melon’ are you all eating?! When you’re hungry and thirsty, even melons forcibly pulled off the vine are super sweet and quench your thirst!]
[I’m going to the fanfiction forums and write my own version where they fought for three hundred rounds!]
Shi Ning watched for half an hour, realizing that these “big yellow girls”—the raunchier commenters—were all frustrated that she and Qin Heye had only kissed and gone no further. And the way some of them wrote sequels directly in the barrage… it was utterly unbroadcastable.
Shi Ning’s face was flushed, her heart pounding. Her anger toward Qin Heye had mostly evaporated, especially after reading some of the more insightful comments among the “big yellow” ones.
[The big villain, who just wants to cling to his wife all day, is purer than all you big yellow girls! It’s not that he didn’t want to; he wanted it so badly he could explode! But he was incredibly sad!]
[Qin Heye felt that Shi Ning threw herself into his arms just to get him to give the West City land to Shen Xizhou. He was happy about her initiative, but he was even more heartbroken that she didn’t love him and was dedicating herself to another man.]
[Qin Heye wanted to take Shi Ning regardless of everything, but he truly didn’t want her to compromise herself for the unworthy Shen Xizhou!]
[Shi Ning said there was a problem with the West City land and that giving it to Shen Xizhou would result in losses, but Qin Heye didn’t believe her. He bit Shi Ning’s lips and couldn’t comprehend that he’d been secretly in love with her for ten years.]
[I haven’t seen how much he loves her; he’s just brainless. He deserves to go bankrupt, lose his wife, and be killed by his wife in the future!]
Reading that last comment, Shi Ning pouted. “Don’t say that about Qin Heye! He’s different from me!” She might be upset with Qin Heye for not believing her, but no one else had the right to criticize him! Shi Ning was fiercely protective. Besides, Qin Heye’s situation was different from hers. She only knew about the West City land’s problems because of the barrage spoilers. After all, the government was fully backing the West City land, planning it as a future city center and even relocating government offices there. The Qin Group had acquired the land only after extensive surveys and data analysis. So, she couldn’t really blame Qin Heye for not believing her about the land.
[Qin Heye’s character is a yandere and crazy! He only bit Shi Ning’s lips, which was incredibly restrained!]
[Qin Heye even compromised for Shi Ning. Seeing her unhappiness, he was still willing to give the East City land to Shen Xizhou. Isn’t that peak love-brained behavior?!]
[Huh? How did Shi Ning know there was something wrong with the West City land? Logically, she shouldn’t. Could she be reborn?]
Shi Ning: “…”
Not reborn, just saw the barrage and it spoiled everything for her. If she were truly reborn, she would have experienced the tragic ending mentioned in the barrage. Given her personality, she would have probably strapped a bomb to herself and taken Shen Xizhou and Shi Qingyin down with her!
[It must be that Shi Ning deliberately said there was something wrong with the West City land to convince Qin Heye to give it to Shen Xizhou. She just said it by accident.]
[Yes, that’s how she told Qin Heye about the East City land, which is how Shen Xizhou got his chance.]
[As for Shi Ning, this pig-brained, love-brained woman, rebirth would be useless for her; the ending would be just as miserable.]
Shi Ning: “???”
This is too much of a personal attack, isn’t it? She decided to skip the negative reviews! She had a sensitive heart! She wanted to fight back! Next one!
[Qin Heye arrived at the company, hugging Shi Ning’s battered pillow, sitting in his office in a daze, looking incredibly well-behaved!]
[Qin Heye: ‘The pillow used by my wife has my wife’s scent; it means my wife is with me. Happiness~’]
[The big villain was just teased by Shi Ning last night. Will he take Shi Ning’s underwear, think about kissing his wife at night, and ‘solve’ himself?]
[The big villain went to take a shower. Mosaic, can’t see. What a pity! But it doesn’t matter, I know how many centimeters the setting is!]
[This stupid and awful female antagonist, eating so well, let me go through the book and live out two episodes! I’m not afraid of the rich, beautiful, big villain’s ‘forced love’!]
Shi Ning: “…”
Although the “big yellow girls” were a little crude, they were much better than the barrages that just cursed her stupidity. That’s right, she had a glass heart; she didn’t like comments that said bad things about her!
After watching the comments for a while, Qin Heye had finished showering and gone to work in his office. There was nothing interesting left to watch, so the comments dwindled. Shi Ning stopped scrolling and went to take a shower herself.
She tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, consumed by the thought that she absolutely could not let Qin Heye invest in the West City land’s development. Her only option, she concluded, was to coax Qin Heye. But she wasn’t very good at coaxing men.
So, she sent a message to Mu Tiantian: [Tian, how do you coax a man?]
[Queen Sweet: Coax who? Shen Xizhou? Falling in love again? I knew it! I won’t say bad things about him to you now, it affects our friendship!]
Shi Ning: “…”
It seemed that this was how it always went with girlfriends. One day they declared they’d never love again, and the next they’d be back to being head-over-heels. But this time, she was serious!
[Ning: Coax Qin Heye! My dear husband!]
[Queen Sweet: Go straight for it! Sleep with him!]
[Ning: ???]
[Queen Sweet: 128TG video, watch and learn!]
Shi Ning clicked on the video Mu Tiantian sent, her face instantly turning scarlet, like a shocked Minion. “!!!” Not ‘sister,’ your name is Mu Tiantian! Not Mu Huanghuang [Mu Queen Yellow, suggesting lewdness]!
The “Sweet Queen” sent another message. Shi Ning clicked on it, and her face changed color again: “!!!”
