My Villain Is Super Sweet (GL) - Chapter 4

Perhaps having held back for these past few days, Lin Lang clearly stated, “I am on your side,” and Ruan Qingci, like a drowning person grabbing onto a piece of driftwood, couldn’t help but want to confide.

After rambling on for a while, realizing that she had said too much, she blushed and said, “Did I talk too much?”

She just, just feels like she has no one to confide in. Her mom is in a dilemma, hesitating and unable to decide, telling her these things would be like torturing her heart, so she can’t say anything. As for her dad and that group of relatives, it’s out of the question.

What about her own friends?

She didn’t want to bring it up with her friends either. It wasn’t that she found the experience unbearable, but rather that her family’s attitude towards it made her feel embarrassed.

Perhaps deep down, she no longer wants to hear anyone advising her not to make a big deal out of things or that her reputation will be ruined.

I also don’t want to become a topic of gossip for others.

After thinking it over, the only person she could talk to and confide in was Lin Lang, who had saved her by chance that night.

As for the reason, first, she was already aware of it, and second, she wasn’t in her own social circle. After this matter is settled, they might never have any more interactions in their lifetime.

Just as Lawyer Zhang reminded us to send someone to keep Lin Lang stable, or rather, to try to prevent Lin Lang from siding with the He family, it would be best to meet and test the waters.

So she just came over on her own, as if compelled by some unseen force.

However, the corners of her mouth slightly lifted, and her expression visibly relaxed a lot. Treating Lin Lang as a sounding board, she poured out the words that had been weighing on her mind, and
with gentle affirmation from someone, her mood indeed improved.

Lin Lang, who was intently listening and extracting information from Ruan Qingci’s words, was suddenly called out. Without missing a beat, he revealed a smile that felt like a breath of fresh air.

“How could it be?” The tone was lively and cheerful, with a hint of disbelief: “You are willing to tell me these things, this is a sign of trust, I am very happy, really.”

In the end, I still don’t forget to emphasize that I am indeed sincere.

Ruan Qingci was amused by her reaction.

In that very moment, like the warmth of spring and the blooming flowers, all the depression and frustration completely vanished.

Facing the sweet smile attack, Lin Lang was momentarily stunned, and only after a while did he come to his senses.

She said softly, “I can understand how you feel now because I have had similar experiences.”

How to get someone to open to you further and be willing to self-disclose?

Of course, you can take the initiative to appropriately expose yourself first, reducing the risk of the other person “self-disclosing,” making her feel a sense of resonance with you, and better
empathizing.

The best entry point is, “I’m just like you,” sharing the same experiences.

Look, Ruan Qingci’s almond-shaped eyes are about to pop out.

Stammering, he said, “H-how, how, how could it be?”

Lin Lang is so tough, and they still dare to act against her. They really have some big guts! Are they a suicide squad or something?

It seemed that Lin Lang had some inkling of what she was thinking, and he felt a bit helpless.

“It’s not what you think.” Her voice grew softer, almost a whisper: “It’s the kind of experience where your parents and family treat you well, but it’s also about weighing the pros and cons,
calculating gains and losses.”

Ruan Qingci felt a sudden pang in her heart.

Yeah, she has been resentful and sad during this time, not because she suddenly discovered that her good dad could abandon his daughter for profit and even wanted to use her to exchange for more benefits.

The real world revealed its sinister face before her eyes, and more than half of her understanding built over the past twenty years was overturned, leaving her rarely feeling confused and lost.

Lin Lang’s narration was calm and devoid of much emotion.

“Let’s put it this way, if it weren’t for the nine-year compulsory education, my dad probably wouldn’t even want me to go to school.”

Ruan Qingci was shocked.

Currently, and especially in a place like Rong City, can you believe there are parents who don’t want to send their kids to school because of a few hundred yuan a year?!

This is just too…

She didn’t know whether to describe such a father as short-sighted or to say he had lost all sense of morality.

“Then, then what happened later…”

How did you read the book?

Moreover, looking at the company where Lin Lang is currently working, you at least need to have a university degree, and it must be from a good university, to get in.

“Because he can’t beat me anymore.” Lin Lang’s tone rose, a smile at the corner of his mouth: “See, it’s that simple.”

Ruan Qingci was greatly shocked. Her long eyelashes drooped, and she remained silent for a long time.

The restaurant that Ruan Qingci booked is not far away.

The environment here is excellent, the dishes are quite good, and the two of them hit it off well. After this meal, both sides were quite pleased.

After finishing dinner and stepping outside, the sun was just about to set, but it wasn’t dark yet.

Ruan Qingci hesitated for a moment, looked at Lin Lang, and said, “Then, shall we go back? I’ll walk you home.”

She didn’t want to go back early. Being alone would inevitably lead her to ponder those philosophical questions that tear apart the interplay between emotion and reason—

For example, who is right and who is wrong, why her father is so cold and rational that he seems like a stranger.

No, no, no, he’s even worse than a stranger.

At least one stranger, has no way and no position to use “for your own good” as an excuse to pack her up and send her away for profit.

Lin Lang: ……

Hmm, I don’t know why, but she doesn’t really want to part ways just yet. She’s feeling quite reluctant and wants to stay with the person a bit longer.

She thought to herself, perhaps she wanted to keep boosting her favorability, urging this ultimate villain to hurry up and deal with that cursed male lead, so she could cling to her life a little longer.

That’s right! It must be like that!

Having made up her mind, she lifted her eyes, looking at Ruan Qingci with full of anticipation, pretending to casually ask, “It’s still quite early. How about we find a place to sit for a bit?”

“Sure.” Ruan Qingci readily agreed, even feeling a bit excited.

Not wanting to part ways and not wanting to go back, the two hit it off and quickly reached an agreement.

It’s not far from the river here, and besides, it’s the peak time for traffic jams. The two decided to walk over. They wouldn’t walk far, just stroll along the river to digest their food. If they
got tired, they could find a nearby place to have a drink and take a break.

On the way here, most people were hurriedly rushing home. Once we reached the riverbank, even though it was just a road apart, the pace of life suddenly slowed down.

There are young couples walking hand in hand, playfully teasing each other, some people running with big dogs, making it hard to tell if the person is walking the dog or the dog is walking the
person, there are also elderly couples strolling leisurely to digest their food, and families of three, with two young parents and a bouncing child, or pushing a baby in a stroller…

But without exception, these people all have happy smiles on their faces.

The warmth of human life is the most comforting to ordinary hearts.

Walking and looking around, Ruan Qingci’s heart gradually calmed down.

It’s not a big deal, right? As Lin Lang said, she can’t seek justice on her own right now. If she relies on others, she must be prepared for the possibility that they might refuse. Whether that person is her biological father or someone else.

But she will grow up, and one day she will spread her wings. At that time, no one will be able to influence her, force her to compromise, or pressure her to yield.

When the two of them got back into the car, it was already past ten o’clock.

Ruan Qingci started the car: “I’ll take you home first. Where do you live?”

Lin Lang mentioned the name of a neighborhood, and Ruan Qingci, who was about to input the name into the navigation system, suddenly stopped and looked up in surprise.

This neighborhood is famous for its good security, expensive property management, and the housing prices are among the top ten in the city.

Even if it’s not a purchase but a rental, the rent is still quite expensive.

Are people who code these days making this much money?

Curiosity aside, she wouldn’t pry; she just smiled and said, “What a coincidence, I’ve been staying here recently too.”

Lin Lang was also somewhat surprised. However, what surprised her was not that Ruan Qingci happened to be living here recently, but that Ruan Qingci had a house here.

Hey, rich people, having a few more properties are nothing, it’s just basic stuff!

“That’s perfect, saves you the trouble of taking a detour to drop me off.”

Now there’s no need for navigation; I just drove back easily and familiar with the route.

Even more coincidentally, the two of them live in the same building. It’s just that one is on the 7th floor and the other on the 17th floor.

Ruan Qingci: ……

My apologies.

This building is the king of the community, with the best location, the best view, and the most attractive price.

As far as she knows, there are no rentals available in this building.

She can live here because Ms. Gu Minglan’s hobby is acquiring property. Five years ago, when the community was first launched, she bought the entire top floor of the building. Coincidentally, she
had just turned eighteen, so it had considered her coming-of-age gift and registered in her name.

They say it’s a whole floor, but it’s just two units.

Back then, the top floor of the building certainly had its prestige, with only 17 floors in total, two units per floor, and direct elevator access to each unit. Ms. Gu Minglan didn’t like the idea
of running into neighbors frequently, so she bought both units on one floor.

Lin Lang can buy this place. This is way too profitable, isn’t it?

Especially since she is unlikely to receive support from her family.

No wonder he can casually say something like “because he can’t beat me” without a second thought.

Ruan Qingci parked the car in the underground garage directly facing the entrance hall of Building 7. The two of them swiped their cards to enter the elevator, and the number buttons in the elevator lit up sequentially with “7” and “17.”

When the elevator stopped on the seventh floor, the two waved goodbye.

After finishing my shower, it was already nearly eleven o’clock.

Lin Lang turned on his phone, and the latest WeChat message from Ruan Qingci read: “I had a great time tonight, thank you.” It was accompanied by a “heart” emoji.

Lin Lang casually replied with a “happy spinning” emoji.

Then I exited the conversation page and opened the chat window for “Tinge.”

“Brother Ting, help me look up someone.”

“Name.”

Lin Lang simply sent over Ruan Mingjie’s Baidu Baike page.

The other person made a shocked expression.

Then, completely contrary to his earlier reluctance to speak, he typed away at lightning speed.

“Ah San, you’ve really made it now, huh? You go all out right from the start?”

“Are you okay? Did you offend someone?”

“Did he finally go too far and hit a wall?”

“Quick, tell me how miserable you’ve been lately so I can have a good laugh!!!”

The last sentence, with three exclamation marks in a row, the tone is almost soaring!

Lin Lang ignored it and typed leisurely.

“Can it be checked?”

“What do you want to check?”

“Over the past two or three years, we need to look into all his personal financial transactions, both open and hidden.”

“How much is it?”

“One hundred thousand.”

“How long?”

“Five days.”

“Okay.”

Lin Lang directly transferred 100,000 to someone.

This is the rule of “Ting Ge.” Pay first, then the service. If you don’t trust, fine. If you’re afraid of being scammed, fine. If you’re not satisfied in the end, fine.

Lin Lang has been dealing with him for seven years; otherwise, I wouldn’t dare to have someone investigate.

All night long, she hesitated, wondering whether to tell Ruan Qingci about her suspicion that Ruan’s father might have an illegitimate child.

Of course, in the end, nothing was said.

One reason is that they are not close, another is that there is no evidence, and the last point, and the most important one, is that she and Ruan Qingci have just started communicating. They only
officially established contact today and added each other on WeChat. If she is too eager, the other party is not naive and sweet, how could they not be on guard?

You just had to rub your lips together and my dad ended up with an illegitimate child. Who are you to care so much about my family’s affairs? What’s your motive? What do you want?

By then, don’t even think about joining the ultimate villain camp. Just trying to survive with the male lead will probably get us double-teamed by both sides and die even faster!

So, she might as well bite the bullet and spend some money to investigate first; once she has evidence, it will be easier to speak up.

No matter how much you cherish money, it can’t compare to life!

17th floor.

Ruan Qingci, wearing a silk nightgown, leaned against the balcony sofa, lightly tapping her phone with her fingertip, her gaze landing on the “happy spinning” emoji sent by Lin Lang.

After a while, he finally let out a light laugh.

Under the influence of the drugs that night, theoretically, she would be like someone who gets blackout drunk and wakes up not remembering anything.

But who made Lin Lang work so hard?

Wrap her whole body in a blanket, then soak a towel in ice water and press it firmly against her face.

So, she remembers far more than everyone else thinks.

I remember being right next to Lin Lang, unable to control myself, moaning and writhing on the bed.

I remember that guy Lin Lang used ice water to cool her down.

An entire hour! If she hadn’t frozen her face into a paralysis, I really must thank her!

I remember this guy was particularly ruthless, wrapping me up in a blanket when I threw myself at him.

I remember being wrapped around her at the time, reaching out and forcefully touching her waist

Hiss, to be honest, Lin Lang’s figure is good. Smooth, firm, and with a thin layer of muscle, it feels particularly nice to the touch.

Of course, I also remember when she kicked the door open, He Jikai, in shock and with a hint of fear, blurted out those two words.

“It’s you?!”

Ruan Qingci slightly curled his lips, swirled the red wine in his glass, and downed it in one go.

It’s obvious that these two people have some kind of connection. However, she hasn’t figured it out yet.

However, it’s not like we can’t take a guess.

He Jikai’s fear at the time, was it because he knew Lin Lang’s combat power, or was it something else? At that moment, she didn’t know, but through the past incident where the He family insisted on
meeting Lin Lang, she confirmed it wasn’t the former.

What exactly does Lin Lang have that makes He Jikai wary?

On the other hand, Lin Lang seems to also have some reservations about He Jikai, or rather the entire He family.

This person not only saved me at just the right moment but also firmly rejected the He family’s overtures, unhesitatingly showing that she is on my side. She even indirectly suggested that I should
hurry up and mature so that I could deal with He Jikai without any reservations. It’s clear to see.

From the look on her face, it seems like she can’t wait to wave a flag and shout, “Fight, fight, fight!”

This is getting interesting.
