Chapter 19: Oh! Everyone Knows the Plot Now!

"..."

Sheng Yanqi had not expected the ending to turn out this way; although he felt extreme loathing toward the fact that he had to get engaged to Luo Xixi, seeing now that Luo Xixi was even more disgusted by the engagement than he was, he felt a bit unsettled inside.

He stared fixedly at Luo Xixi again and asked with some disbelief: "Luo Xixi, are you really unwilling to get engaged to me?"

If he could truly hear Luo Xixi's inner voice, then now that he was asking her this question, she absolutely could not hide it from him!

"..."

Seeing Sheng Yanqi's posture of being unwilling to give up and wanting to get to the bottom of things, Luo Xixi was truly speechless.

【Sheng Yanqi, are you having a mental breakdown? Me being unwilling is exactly what fulfills you and the heroine, yet you still ask! Ask my foot! Even if you ask me ten thousand times, I still won't be willing, OK? Narcissistic men are so off-putting! Pfft!】

???

Hearing Luo Xixi's inner voice, Sheng Yanqi's face darkened by several shades.

This woman!!

She actually thought of him like this!

Although Luo Xixi had already cursed Sheng Yanqi to high heaven in her heart, on the surface, she still said to Sheng Yanqi with a sincere face: "Mr. Sheng, you and I are not related by blood or marriage, why must I get engaged to you? Anyway, Mom and Dad both respect our opinions, so of course I fully support you in pursuing your true love. Good luck! I believe you and Shiqing will definitely be happy!"

【As if! You're just a third male lead; the heroine has already gone to find her true love at this moment. Do you really think she wants to marry you? Actually, she's been wanting to kick you to the curb for a long time! I reckon the heroine has probably already hooked up with the male lead by now, right? Sigh, I just don't know if the heroine will tear me to shreds after she comes back and finds out the plot has changed again!】

?????

As soon as Luo Xixi's inner voice came out.

Everyone was shocked.

Shiqing went to find her true love? What kind of situation is this?!

The Luo couple, as well as the eldest brother Luo Xichuan, the third brother Luo Xinian, and Sheng Yanqi, although they remained calm on the surface, were already experiencing turbulent waves within their hearts.

Isn't the person Shiqing likes Sheng Yanqi?

Just now, although she kept yielding in her words, saying she must return everything of hers to Xixi, the reluctance and grievance in her eyes were clear to everyone. But now, Xixi was saying that the person Shiqing likes is someone else, and that she ran out now to find that person.

This...

This, this, this...

What on earth is going on?!

Because everyone did not know at this moment that they could all hear Luo Xixi's inner voice, and having suddenly learned such heavy news, no one dared to express their stance rashly.

After all, the fact that they could hear inner voices was already absurd; if they suddenly asked about it, others might think they had gone insane.

But this did not mean everyone would pretend they hadn't heard it. They would have to deliberate on this matter long-term and find an opportunity to verify whether Shiqing really had someone else she liked. If she really did...

Then what was the purpose of her behavior tonight?

The Luo family members thought of this point simultaneously, and their moods turned heavy one after another, because once it was confirmed that Luo Shiqing had someone in her heart yet still feigned generosity to call off the engagement, wouldn't that make her a textbook green tea?

No.

They had watched Shiqing grow up; they did not believe that kind and considerate child would do something so calculating!

This matter must be investigated clearly; they absolutely could not wrong an innocent person.

As for Sheng Yanqi, he did not have the same psychological fortitude as the Luo family. Learning from Luo Xixi that Luo Shiqing actually liked someone else, what was the meaning of her constantly expressing her love to him before?

He had to investigate!

He was going to find Luo Shiqing right now and ask her what on earth she was doing!

"Uncle Luo, Aunt Luo, since Luo Xixi is unwilling to get engaged to me, then let the engagement between me and Shiqing remain in effect! I have some matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first."

After speaking.

Sheng Yanqi left the Luo residence in a hurry.

Luo Shiqing did not yet know that the fact she had run out to find Sheng Tinglan had already been spoiled by Luo Xixi.

She had already arrived at the club at this moment and successfully triggered the plot with the male lead, Sheng Tinglan.

Luo Shiqing's face was now flushed, her eyes hazy, and her slender, soft waist was bent into an incredible arc. Leaning forward, she wrapped her arms around the neck of Sheng Tinglan, who was sitting on the sofa looking lazy and relaxed, and said with a tipsy smile: "I'm unhappy today, come keep me company, I'll give you however much money you want~"

According to the plot.

At this moment, Luo Shiqing mistook Sheng Tinglan for a male escort at the club, and Sheng Tinglan was attracted by this "bold little kitten" Luo Shiqing and played along with her. Of course, amidst this, there was no lack of gasps from the people around them.

"My god! Where did this woman come from? How is she so bold, daring to throw herself at President Sheng!"

"I heard President Sheng has always kept his distance from women. He's been abroad for many years, yet he hasn't had a single scandal, and he's incredibly clean in private. What is the situation now?"

"Should we drag this woman away?"

"Why are you meddling? Didn't you see President Sheng didn't push her away? Do you need to step in? Leave it alone!"

Hearing the whispers of the passersby around her, Luo Shiqing was very satisfied.

The plot was moving along nicely~ To ensure nothing went wrong and to make the male lead completely obsessed with her, she had used another bottle of Charm Water. But high-level characters were just different; previously, when she used Charm Water on Luo Xinian, it instantly maxed out his Disgust Value toward Luo Xixi, but now that she used Charm Water on Sheng Tinglan, it only raised his favorability toward her by 10 points.

Now, Luo Shiqing truly felt a pang of regret for the bottle of Charm Water she had spent on Luo Xinian.

To actually use it on a piece of Cannon Fodder.

What a waste!

Sheng Tinglan watched Luo Shiqing's performance quietly, unable to help but sneer in his heart: 【This is my destined woman? She throws herself into a man's arms the moment she arrives? How could I possibly like such an unchaste woman?】

The system came online to respond: 【As a female-oriented novel, this is a common interactive plot trigger. Moreover, Luo Shiqing is bound to the Heartthrob System, which can forcibly create plot points where the villain's intelligence drops, which is also a great help to your career, Host.】

【Heh, fine then.】

Although he was disdainful and his whole being was repulsed, Sheng Tinglan still decided to cooperate with this heroine and finish acting out this scene properly.

After all.

Only by completing the mission could he win back the person he had lost.

Xixi.

Wait for me.

"Achoo!!"

Over here.

Luo Xixi suddenly sneezed.

"Xixi, what's wrong? Did you catch a cold?"

Seeing Luo Xixi sneeze, Luo Xichuan asked with concern.

"I'm fine, Big Brother. (⊙v⊙)" Luo Xixi said with a well-behaved appearance.

【Damn! Why do I always feel like some scoundrel is plotting against me? Is it just my imagination?】

Luo Xichuan: "..."

Hmm.

Although her inner world has some discrepancies with her well-behaved appearance, Xixi is still very cute.

【Ding-dong! Host, Luo Xichuan's Favorability Value toward you has increased by 5 points, it is now 35 points! n(*≧▽≦*)n】

Luo Xixi: "..."

Um... (speechless)

Even sneezing can increase Favorability Value; he is truly worthy of being Big Brother!

"Miss Luo, what is your opinion?"

The voice of the second male lead, Yan Yu, suddenly intervened.

"Huh?"

Luo Xixi had been distracted just now and hadn't heard a word Yan Yu said.

Luo Xinian said irritably from the side: "Teacher Yan is asking if you want to participate in the Wilderness Survival variety show; if you are willing, we can take you with us."
