Chapter 60: The Third Heroine, Su Qingyan, Makes Her Entrance!
While lost in thought, Lin Tai casually grabbed a pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.
Huh, not bad—there was actually some improvement in the taste today. Lin Tai could finally tell it was a pastry, though he couldn’t quite pinpoint the flavor. As long as it was sweet, that was enough. The last time, that ridiculously salty osmanthus cake nearly sent his soul out of his body, almost making him leave this world early.
Lin Ziyue’s cooking skills had improved—cause for celebration! At least he wouldn’t be poisoned anymore.
“The taste is pretty good. Tell her to make it for someone else,” Lin Tai said. It wasn’t exactly delicious, but it was edible. It was time for Lin Ziyue to go feed Ye Bai and stop bothering him.
“Alright, I’ll pass that on to Miss Ziyue,” Hecate said, putting away the lunchbox. Her heart stirred slightly—she knew her beloved boy wouldn’t suspect her motives for being here.
He was always so naive, completely unaware when he was being schemed against. It made her heart ache. She really wanted to pat Lin Tai’s head.
“Are you okay?” Lu Ziyan approached Lin Tai, her voice filled with concern.
Like Hecate, Lu Ziyan knew Lin Tai’s kind heart and assumed he wouldn’t like witnessing such a bloody, violent scene.
It must be tough for him.
“You weren’t scared, were you?”
“No,” Lin Tai replied, shaking his head instinctively. Scared? What was there to be scared of? Was she kidding him?
Lin Tai rolled his eyes in exasperation.
Sure, he was a villainous side character, but he wasn’t an idiot or a child. How could he be scared by a scene like this? Annoyed, yes, but scared? No way.
Wait a second—something’s off!
Lin Tai looked at Lu Ziyan, who was gazing at him with genuine concern.
Heroine, are you caring about the wrong person? The male lead is over there—the one who looks like a dead dog!
Why was Lu Ziyan ignoring Ye Bai and fussing over him? Worried he was scared?
Come on, Ye Bai’s practically bleeding out over there, and you’re worried about whether I’m scared? Something’s not right with you, little heroine!
Lin Tai stared into Lu Ziyan’s eyes, trying to figure out what she was up to. But her eyes showed nothing but concern—no ulterior motives.
Wow, what amazing acting! Ye Bai was so badly injured, yet Lu Ziyan could act completely unfazed. Lin Tai was genuinely impressed.
It wasn’t just Lin Tai who was baffled. The crew and security guards were equally dumbfounded. Their director wasn’t tending to the half-dead Ye Bai but was instead fussing over Lin Tai, the troublemaker?
This bizarre behavior left them confused.
Wasn’t Lin Tai supposed to be unpopular? Didn’t Lu Ziyan expose a video of him fighting not long ago? Weren’t they supposed to be at odds?
What was going on?
It almost seemed like Lin Tai was Lu Ziyan’s secret boyfriend!
“Uh … Director, look at Ye Bai … he’s bleeding a lot, he might die …” The head of security glanced at Ye Bai, feeling a bit sorry for him.
Poor male lead—ignored by the director and beaten to a pulp with no one caring.
“Call 120! What, you want him to die here?” Lu Ziyan glanced back at Ye Bai. Care about him? She was already being polite by not going over and stabbing him herself.
Lu Ziyan didn’t care what others thought of her. As long as her beloved boy didn’t misunderstand her, that was enough.
“And lock down all information. I don’t want today’s events leaking out.”
This time, she’d make sure Ye Bai couldn’t hurt Lin Tai, no matter what.
“Yes …” The crew got to work—some called 120, others went about their tasks. They felt sorry for Ye Bai, but they relied on Lu Ziyan for their jobs, so they couldn’t defy her.
And so, as the set buzzed with activity, Ye Bai lay there like a corpse, ignored by everyone.
Hecate, the instigator, hadn’t taken her eyes off Lin Tai from start to finish.
Lu Ziyan was even more blatant. If not for the steel pipe lying on the ground, the crew might have thought Lin Tai was visiting the set and Ye Bai was the troublemaker.
Everyone was cold and indifferent, except for Zhao Gang, lying on the ground, his eyes fixed on his boss. He wanted to rush over and save Ye Bai …
But thinking of the plan, he didn’t move.
As he suspected, Hecate clearly didn’t dare reveal her identity in front of Lin Tai, which meant she couldn’t expose him either. He still had a chance to complete his mission.
So, he pretended not to see anything.
“Ziyan, are you okay?” Amid the bustling set, a woman in a princess dress hurried over, her face full of worry.
Her voice was clear as an oriole’s, soft and unforgettable.
Lin Tai followed the sound and saw her—the third heroine of the novel, Su Qingyan, making her entrance!
Su Qingyan was like a fairy descended from the heavens, exuding an ethereal aura. Yet, her face was filled with anxiety as she ran over in high heels.
She was called the third heroine because her status was just below Xia Shihan and Xiao Yuxuan. In Ye Bai’s heart, she was the only heroine he fell for at first sight.
“I’m fine,” Lu Ziyan replied instinctively, but then she felt something was off.
Lin Tai causing trouble had just happened, and Su Qingyan didn’t have any spies around her. How did she know something was wrong?
More importantly, even if Su Qingyan knew, why was she staring at Lin Tai when she was supposedly here to check on her?
Lu Ziyan felt something was strange, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
Maybe … Qingyan was just curious about Lin Tai’s identity?
“Let me introduce you—this is the young master of the Lin family, Lin Tai,” Lu Ziyan said to her close friend.
“Hello, I’m Su Qingyan,” Su Qingyan said, naturally extending her hand upon hearing the introduction.
“???” Lin Tai looked at Su Qingyan, so close to him. The plot … isn’t supposed to go like this, right?
