Chapter 56: The Male Lead Ye Bai, Ready to Show Off Again!
“…” Damn it, why is this heroine changing the script again? Shouldn’t she be calling security the moment she sees me show up with people to cause trouble?
Lu Ziyan, aren’t you supposed to be an artistic young woman? What’s with that smirk on your face? What kind of expression is that? Why does it feel like I’m the one being teased?
Lin Tai’s mind was flooded with question marks. Lu Ziyan, you’re playing me, and I can’t keep up!
There was no doubt that Lu Ziyan had once again derailed the plot. How was he supposed to follow the script now? The next part was supposed to involve him starting a fight with the security guards, only for Ye Bai to step in, take down his group in a few moves, and showcase the male lead’s charm.
Now what was he supposed to do? Fight or not fight?
Lin Tai’s head ached. Lu Ziyan was no pushover—she was deliberately sabotaging him. Just as the two were locked in a standoff, the security guards, alerted to the situation, rushed over and surrounded Lin Tai and his group.
Seeing the circle of security guards, Lin Tai immediately understood why Lu Ziyan had suddenly changed her lines—she was setting a trap for him. Well played, as expected of a heroine. She’d thought it through, even stalling for time. What a cunning little scheme.
But a mere group of security guards? They couldn’t stop him from completing the plot.
“I’m warning you, don’t think I won’t hit you just because you’re a woman!” Lin Tai decided to throw out a threat first. He didn’t believe Lu Ziyan could stay calm. This artistic young woman was full of hot-blooded passion. Hearing him say this, she’d surely lose her cool and try to fight him. He had Lu Ziyan’s personality pinned down perfectly.
“I don’t think you’d hit me at all,” Lu Ziyan said, seeing through Lin Tai’s poorly veiled attempt to cover his tracks. Her heart swelled with joy—Lin Tai was just too adorable when teased, and she was starting to get addicted to it.
Lu Ziyan took a step forward, closing the distance between her and Lin Tai. She could feel her heart racing. In both her past and present lives, this was the first time she’d been so close to him. The last time, at the Lu family’s place, she thought her “Seven-Day Boyfriend Plan” was about to succeed. But then Ye Bai came out of nowhere, and she genuinely wanted to strangle him for ruining her perfect plan!
Later, when Ye Bai leaked the video, her Seven-Day Boyfriend Plan was completely derailed, and she was too embarrassed to bring up her earlier promises. But Lu Ziyan’s feelings had never faded despite that failure.
With memories of her past life, she knew Lin Tai would come to cause trouble today, so she woke up early, carefully did her makeup, and rushed to the set. Sure enough, Lin Tai showed up.
Having finally gotten a chance to get close to Lin Tai, she wasn’t going to let it slip away! Lu Ziyan silently swore to herself.
“You’ve got a problem with me, so take it up with me!” While Lu Ziyan was fantasizing about her boyfriend-conquering plan, Ye Bai, who had been watching the drama unfold from the sidelines, stepped forward.
He had originally planned to wait until Lin Tai made a move before stepping in. But who could’ve predicted Lu Ziyan would go off-script again, getting closer and closer to Lin Tai? There was even a faint hint of flirtation between them.
Ye Bai couldn’t stand it. Though Lu Ziyan had deeply hurt him, he still considered her his possession in his heart. He was determined to make her submit to him eventually, and he absolutely wouldn’t allow any ambiguity between her and Lin Tai.
“You’ve got some guts!” Lin Tai felt utterly helpless dealing with Lu Ziyan, who was completely ignoring the script. She had just gotten right in his face—should he hit her or not? Hitting her would completely derail the plot, and he wouldn’t know how to salvage it. Not hitting her would make him look like a paper tiger, completely lacking any intimidation.
Just as Lin Tai was struggling to figure out how to resolve the situation, Ye Bai stepped up.
Looking at Ye Bai’s righteous demeanor, Lin Tai inwardly sighed. The male lead was indeed the male lead, always stepping in at the critical moment to save the awkward villain from embarrassment.
Well done!
If he didn’t properly “greet” Ye Bai now, it’d be a disservice to his timely intervention. The next part of the plot was straightforward: Lin Tai would order his men to attack Ye Bai, only for his group to get taken down, perfectly showcasing the male lead’s prowess.
“Brothers, get him! Beat the crap out of him!” Lin Tai waved his hand, immediately signaling Zhao Gang and his lackeys to make their move.
Zhao Gang didn’t hold back, grabbing an iron rod and charging at Ye Bai. Of course, his attack was fake—he barely made two moves before Ye Bai knocked him to the ground.
While Zhao Gang was faking it, the lackeys under him were genuine street thugs, temporarily recruited by Zhao Gang. They went straight for Ye Bai’s vital spots with real intent.
But even their genuine attacks were useless against Ye Bai—they were nothing but trash in his eyes.
“What are you all doing?!” Seeing Ye Bai heroically take down the thugs, the security guards were itching to jump in and help, but Lu Ziyan stopped them.
“Director Lu, shouldn’t we help?” the head of security asked, confused.
“Help with what? Does he need your help? Just stand there and watch how strong the ‘Three-Second God’ really is!” If looks could kill, Lu Ziyan was sure she’d have killed Ye Bai ten thousand times over!
It was this guy again, haunting her like a persistent ghost. Last time, he ruined her Seven-Day Boyfriend Plan. Now, when she finally had an excuse to get close to Lin Tai, he was ruining her plans again!
What’s more, this jerk had even deeper schemes to frame her precious little cutie.
Lu Ziyan wanted to slap this bastard to death. And let the security help him? What a joke!
As for Lin Tai, the thugs her little cutie brought were no match for Ye Bai. Would Lin Tai end up getting hurt by Ye Bai’s hands?
Worried, Lu Ziyan pulled out her phone and sent a message to her family’s bodyguards.
On the scene, Ye Bai was getting more comfortable as he fought. Since recovering from his illness, it was about time to stretch his muscles. Apart from Zhao Gang, no one there was a match for him.
Lin Tai stood at the back, watching Ye Bai perform. Suddenly, a thought struck him: if all the thugs got taken down, what would he do? He couldn’t just stand there and take a beating, could he?
The problem was, he couldn’t just run like last time either—there was still more plot to play out.
Just as Lin Tai was trying to think of a perfect solution, a swift figure dashed into the fray.
The newcomer’s skills were impressive, landing three rapid punches that forced Ye Bai to retreat several steps.
“Hiss!” Lin Tai sucked in a sharp breath. Damn it, why is she here?!
