- Chapter 14 - Utterly Chaotic Plot
The restaurant downstairs was a fusion-style eatery, and the food turned out to be surprisingly good.
Â
Jiang Ciqiu sat in the corner, facing the entrance. After glancing at her phone for a while, she looked up just in time to see Jiang Wanhe walk in with a woman.
Â
Upon closer inspection, that woman was none other than the female lead?!
Â
Her heart instantly sank. Why were these two together? Had they already… on their first meeting?
Â
But in the original plot, after the female lead was fired from the club, Jiang Wanhe would frequently visit the café where she found new work.
Â
He didn’t do anything special—just brought his laptop, ordered an iced Americano, and sat there all afternoon. When the female lead got off work, he would leave.
Â
Then, Jiang Ciqiu watched as Jiang Wanhe ordered… an iced Americano at the fusion restaurant.
Â
That was all he ordered—just an iced Americano.
Â
Meanwhile, the female lead asked for a glass of water.
Â
Jiang Ciqiu quickly realized that, despite all the changes so far, the general direction of the plot remained unchanged.
Â
Since this was a romance novel, the core theme was the development of the main couple’s relationship.
Â
Everything else might change, but not that.
Â
Jiang Ciqiu glared at the patch of sky visible through the window and cursed under her breath, “Damn it, what kind of ridiculous plot is this?!”
Â
If it was going to stick to the original storyline, why throw in all these twists? How was she supposed to maintain her god’s-eye view now?
Â
Rely on the romantic undertones for foresight?
Â
She wasn’t the damn world’s consciousness—how could she possibly know everything?
Â
Jiang Wanhe and the female lead began chatting, laughing and smiling as if they were getting along well. Watching from a distance, Jiang Ciqiu felt so agitated she lost her appetite entirely.
Â
Matters of the heart were unpredictable. If she interfered carelessly and accidentally sped up their relationship, wouldn’t she be digging her own grave?
Â
Before Jiang Ciqiu could figure out what to do, another person suddenly walked through the door.
Â
That familiar profile instantly reminded her of the woman’s sharp, scolding tone toward her.
Â
A surge of resentment mixed with frustration welled up in her chest.
Â
Great. Chu Han was here too.
Â
This plot was beyond messed up now.
Â
She stood up from her seat and strode toward the newcomer.
Â
Chu Han was still scanning the room when she finally spotted someone waving at her from the far corner.
Â
She started heading that way, but just as she was about to enter, a woman suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into an embrace, then half-dragged her toward the exit.
Â
The move was so abrupt that Chu Han didn’t react in time, allowing herself to be led.
Â
Jiang Ciqiu managed to pull her a few steps forward before hearing someone call out, “Ye Zi? What are you doing?”
Â
Jiang Wanhe had risen from his seat, looking like he was about to approach.
Â
Finally snapping out of her daze, Chu Han said coldly, “Miss Jiang, what are you doing? Let go.”
Â
Jiang Ciqiu cursed inwardly but had no choice but to retreat with her.
Â
These two couldn’t meet yet—who knew what would happen next if they did?
Â
“Ye Zi?”
Â
Her cheap brother was still calling. Jiang Ciqiu forced a fake smile in his direction. She had intended to drag Chu Han into the restroom, but the door was inexplicably locked.
Â
Panicking, she pulled her into another door, only to find it filled with stacked supplies.
Â
Clearly, this was a storage room.
Â
Jiang Wanhe knocked on the door. “Ye Zi, what are you doing? Why are you avoiding me?”
Â
After several unanswered knocks, he leaned against the nearby wall to wait.
Â
Only when the commotion outside died down did Jiang Ciqiu finally exhale in relief.
Â
“What are you doing?” Chu Han asked.
Â
Jiang Ciqiu glanced back and said, “Do me a favor—don’t go out yet.”
Â
Chu Han replied bluntly, “No.”
Â
“Just one, just one favor, okay?” Jiang Ciqiu held up a finger. “I helped you twice before, so let’s call it even.”
Â
“Helped me twice?”
Â
Chu Han shook her head. “You’re so forgetful. Which two times are you talking about? Last time at the club, or back in M Country?”
Â
“Oh, M Country doesn’t count, but I apologized, and afterward, I did help you out a little. But at the Summer Club, I really did help you, didn’t I?”
Â
“So, if you help me this time, we’ll be even, okay?”
Â
Chu Han couldn’t be bothered to argue and repeated, “I already said no. I have plans—let me out.”
Â
With that, she tried to move past Jiang Ciqiu.
Â
Seeing that the other woman was completely unyielding, the young mistress’ temper flared up instantly.
Â
Her spoiled arrogance ignited.
Â
“Chu Han, I said stay put! Can’t whoever you’re meeting wait a little longer?”
Â
But Chu Han didn’t seem intimidated. Instead, she looked at Jiang Ciqiu’s puffed-up cheeks and suddenly smiled.
Â
Her peach-blossom eyes curved slightly, glimmering with amusement.
Â
Jiang Ciqiu had never encountered someone who laughed in a situation like this and was momentarily at a loss.
Â
“W-what are you doing? Didn’t you hear what I said?”
Â
“I heard,” Chu Han took a few steps forward, tilting her head slightly. “Miss Jiang really is domineering.”
Â
The words made Jiang Ciqiu uncomfortable, but she didn’t dwell on it. “So just stay here quietly, and I’ll talk to my father about your family’s business later.”
Â
Chu Han chuckled, her dark eyes fixed on Jiang Ciqiu’s. “Oh, so I should be grateful then?”
Â
Jiang Ciqiu frowned, catching the mockery in her tone, but now wasn’t the time to argue.
Â
“Just stay here.”
Â
The knocking outside started again.
Â
Jiang Wanhe called through the door, “Ye Zi, what are you doing in there? Is something wrong?”
Â
“Ye Zi? If something’s wrong, your brother can help.”
Â
“Ye Zi!”
Â
“…”
Â
When the knocking stopped, Chu Han, seeing Jiang Ciqiu’s expressionless face, asked, “Aren’t you going to answer?”
Â
Jiang Ciqiu exhaled slowly and looked at her seriously. “Stay here. Don’t come out until I come back for you, understand?”
Â
Chu Han stayed silent, so Jiang Ciqiu took it as agreement.
Â
She turned and walked toward the door.
Â
Just then, Chu Han added from behind her, “Your brother seems very concerned about you.”
Â
Jiang Ciqiu glanced back and saw her expression unchanged, as if she’d just made an offhand remark without expecting a response.
Â
She clicked her tongue lightly. “In a way, I suppose.”
Â
Then she stepped forward and quietly opened the door to leave.
Â
Once outside, Jiang Ciqiu was glad she’d come out when she did.
Â
Jiang Wanhe had just arrived with a group of security guards and a staff member holding a key, ready to unlock the door.
Â
Jiang Ciqiu immediately shut it behind her. “What do you think you’re doing?”
Â
“I was worried. You were dragged in there, and when I knocked, you didn’t answer. I thought something happened.”
Â
The man spoke, but his eyes kept darting toward the door.
Â
Jiang Ciqiu scoffed inwardly—was he blind? Couldn’t he see she was the one who had dragged someone in?
Â
But the chances of that were slim. Most likely, he was lying through his teeth, wanting to see who was inside.
Â
Could he already be suspicious?
Â
“I’m fine, so can these people leave now?”
Â
Since Jiang Wanhe had said those words, he couldn’t contradict himself so quickly, so he waved his hand to dismiss them.
Â
But he wasn’t completely convinced. With a fake smile, he asked, “Who’s inside? A friend of Ye Zi’s?”
Â
“What difference does it make? Don’t tell me you want to befriend my friends too?”
Â
Jiang Ciqiu narrowed his eyes: “So once wasn’t enough for you?”
