Chapter 39 - What is a Queen?
“I think, revenge should have a limit.”
Zhu Yeqing paused her movements, then applied some lotion, and said, “Then, in your opinion, if this girl gives up on revenge, what else would she have in her life?”
What else? There were many things.
Jin Lan replied, “That’s her own business, her own challenge that she has to overcome. However, I can assure you of one thing—if this girl makes a move against Chen Fan, I will mercilessly crush her.”
Zhu Yeqing responded, “How could she possibly attack Chen Fan? There’s not much hatred between them, right? Shouldn’t she hate the Chen family more?”
“Is that so? Hopefully, that’s the case. If you encounter her, remember to let her know.”
“I will.”
Outside, Chen Fan had no idea what was happening in the room.
He now preferred enjoying his own time, taking in the scenery, wandering around, and finding some snacks to eat.
This was what life was about.
It was much better than the bitter, vengeance-driven protagonist.
After a while, Zhu Yeqing came out.
“Where is my boss?”
“She’s applying a face mask and needs some time to absorb it. She fell asleep, so I didn’t stay in the room with her.”
“You’ve worked hard. So, how’s it going? Have you thought about it? Will you follow me?”
Zhu Yeqing softly said, “I don’t know much; I can only do massages and occasionally work out. As for those professional things, I’m clueless.”
What acting! Honestly, how could any man resist a woman like this?
Young girls may be appealing to many, but a mature woman with charm? She’s irresistible to men of all ages.
With her impressive height, even when she lowered her head, Chen Fan still felt the pressure.
Chen Fan continued, “It’s okay, as long as you can serve tea and water. Can you cook?”
“Yes, that I can.”
“That’s all that’s needed. When I get off work, you can cook for me. Also, if I have tasks to assign, you can pass them along.”
Chen Fan followed the script, saying everything that needed to be said.
Anyway, in the end, you’re definitely going undercover for me. Even if I insult you by calling you a pig today, you’ll still end up being my undercover agent.
Zhu Yeqing asked, “What about my shop?”
Still acting? How could you get so caught up in the role?
Chen Fan helplessly said, “Don’t worry, just leave it be. If you don’t want to run it, toss it. I couldn’t care less about such small money.”
“Uh, wouldn’t Sister Lin Qingyue mind?”
“Why bring her up? I don’t like her that much; it’s all family business. The truth is, I like you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed Zhu Yeqing.
Damn, what a stupid script setup.
In the story, Chen Fan was indeed infatuated with Lin Qingyue, but as time progressed, he would interact with other women. In short, he treated other women like Lin Qingyue, to alleviate the pain of longing for her or something.
And as Ye Aotian gradually handled Li Long’s side, Chen Fan’s character also shifted slightly, revealing a more playboy side.
After all, it’s a novel—highlighting the protagonist is normal.
How do you make the protagonist stand out? Naturally, by tarnishing the female lead’s image.
The first hundred thousand words of the plot mostly revolved around the protagonist flirting with women and accumulating power. Learning ancient martial arts. Once he had built up enough power, Chen Fan made his real debut, and that’s when the story began to smear his character.
He had to be a playboy; without that, how could he be a villain? Of course, all his infatuation was still centered on Lin Qingyue.
In short, he had always loved Lin Qingyue, but the other women were merely tools for him to vent his frustrations.
However, pleasantries still had to be exchanged.
Zhu Yeqing looked at Chen Fan with disdain.
You’re pretty good at acting too. Honestly, this whole segment must be part of the novel’s plot. If you followed the diary’s description, the real Chen Fan would undoubtedly be a terrifying person. He knew everything and still wanted me to go undercover? Liked me?
Zhu Yeqing didn’t believe it. This man’s thoughts were more focused on completing the plot.
Did he want me to seek revenge? What was he thinking, drunk or just purely bored?
“Well then, I’ll leave it all to Young Master Chen’s discretion.”
Hahaha.
Chen Fan laughed arrogantly, hugging Zhu Yeqing and saying, “Don’t worry, following me won’t cause you any harm. By the way, can you fight?”
Zhu Yeqing replied, “I can a little. Ordinary people can’t get close to me.”
Zhu Yeqing was indeed a skilled fighter.
Many times, when Chen Fan faced difficulties, it was Zhu Yeqing who helped resolve them.
Her only goal was to bring down the Chen family. If something happened to Chen Fan, she wouldn’t be able to stay in the Chen family anymore.
“I can’t fight, so you’ll protect me from now on. How about that? Many people have told me you’re not ordinary.”
“I’m alright. Don’t worry, Young Master. I’ll definitely not harm you.”
“Of course, I’ve always believed in not doubting the people I use and not using the people I doubt. I don’t care how others view you; I only need you to be by my side, and everything will be possible.”
Zhu Yeqing nodded.
Chen Fan looked at the woman with satisfaction.
Look at her—now, this is professionalism.
Damn, that long speech felt so satisfying to deliver. Finally, things were back on track.
Although her appearance came early, it didn’t matter.
As long as she hadn’t interacted with Ye Aotian yet, the plot hadn’t truly begun.
After chatting with Zhu Yeqing for a while, the woman went back to continue with her skincare routine.
Meanwhile, Ye Aotian, having finished his training, looked at the documents sent by Song Ming, a smile naturally appearing on his lips.
Interesting, interesting, hahaha.
Unexpectedly, this Zhu Yeqing turned out to be such a woman, carrying such deep hatred.
The enemy of my enemy is naturally my friend.
However, the most pressing issue now was dealing with Li Long.
