Adopting and Raising the Male Lead and the Villain - Chapter 298

Li Jinyuan directly cut her off. “I know what you want to say. You don’t have to say it.”

He wanted to save her a bit of face, so not confessing out loud naturally wouldn’t be as embarrassing as actually going ahead and saying it.

Ling Lan shook her head and said, “No, you don’t know.”

She still decided to try what happened in the original plot!

Pretend to be a fan!

Ling Lan’s expression showed longing and admiration. She took a deep breath and, like a shy little girl, softly said, “I’m your fan. I’ve been stanning you for many many many years… I’ve liked you a lot ever since you modeled abroad. When we filmed the reality show together, I was ecstatic. But I was afraid that I’d bring you negative influence under the cameras, so I’ve never shown my admiration.

“After you left the show, I’ve always missed you. I didn’t expect that we would meet here. It must be fate. So, so, I thought… I should try to be bold and tell you these things.”

Li Jinyuan’s expression slowly grew colder.

His eyes held a bit of ridicule.

She thought… Was he ever like the way he was on screen, a gentle person?

Ling Lan finished what she thought was a very heartfelt and touching monologue, but after she finished, one second passed, then two, three…

A total of forty-nine seconds passed.

In front of her, Li Jinyuan still looked at her with a ridiculing gaze, not saying a word.

Ling Lan’s confidence immediately faded.

No way!

He’s Li Jinyuan!

The male lead in the book!

So why… Why isn’t it working? Aren’t the male and female leads in a book fated to be together?

After a long time, Li Jinyuan finally spoke. “Are you done?”

Ling Lan couldn’t understand his thoughts, so she could only reply, “Yes.”

“Then please leave. You’re blocking my way to the dressing room.” Li Jinyuan’s attitude was indifferent, bordering on cold.

Ling Lan had long known from the story that the male lead was actually gentle on the outside but black-hearted and indifferent on the inside, in line with the preference of the ‘overbearing CEO’ novel readers.

So she didn’t find Li Jinyuan showing this kind of expression strange.

But… the strange thing was, wasn’t she the female lead? It was very strange of Li Jinyuan to show her this expression!

If I were to pretend that this was a dating game, there would probably be an affection meter, right? So the reason that he’s showing this expression could be because his progress meter isn’t high enough…

Ling Lan reluctantly stepped aside, then lowered her head and began thinking about other methods.

And as he walked past her, Li Jinyuan pulled his phone out and dialed. “Hello, Huanhuan…”

That name drilled into Ling Lan’s ears a bit jarringly.

Zhong Yuhuan…

The female cannon fodder in the original story!

She’s only a side character…

So why does she have so much more than me?

Ling Lan lowered her head even more.

But still, in stories, don’t all the Cinderella female leads succeed and the daughters from rich families end up tragically?

This is only the beginning of the story, so of course, Zhong Yuhuan would have more than me.

Countless thoughts flashed through Ling Lan’s mind.

Including the recent news exposing that Li Jinyuan was a young master of the Jinghua Group.

She had already experienced the feeling of being rich, even more, the feeling of being famous, having lots of fans, and being completely separated from her past of poverty and life without dignity… So now, the name Li Jinyuan to her wasn’t just the name of the male lead, but also… another peak of fame and wealth!

How could she let go of something that originally belonged to her?

Although Li Jinyuan didn’t care about her now, she wasn’t anxious. She could go find the second and third male leads and get their help.

Wasn’t it all thanks to the efforts of the supporting male leads that the male lead would realize his feelings?

Zhong Yuhuan still didn’t know that the female lead had gotten the original novel and had developed various fantasies in her mind already.

The female lead had already begun planning on how to punch Huo Chengming and kick Zhong Yuhuan.

Zhong Yuhuan was currently talking with Li Jinyuan on the phone.

“Sorry,” Zhong Yuhuan said quietly.

“Why is Huanhuan apologizing to me?” Li Jinyuan’s smile could be heard in his voice.

“Sorry, I forgot that I promised you a dance,” Zhong Yuhuan sincerely apologized.

“No problem.” Li Jinyuan said, “You never need to apologize to me. You can never do anything wrong.”

Zhong Yuhuan was shocked to hear this.

Was it because she had taught them to be more open-minded?

Why does Li Jinyuan understand so well now?!

Every sentence was flirty, or almost flirty…

This was basically the answer that high EQ boyfriends would give.
