My Villain Is Super Sweet (GL) - CHAPTER 76

Lin Lang stared at Chen Cheng, who shared the same type of over-the-top energy as Fang Baihui, and couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

How on earth did their family raise kids like this?

Why did every single one of them seem so determined to squander their good looks?

Their personalities didn’t match their appearances at all.

Zero stars. Would not recommend.

Hmm. If she remembered her dream correctly, the heroine’s family had a strong military and political background. Despite that, the heroine stubbornly pursued a career in showbiz, refusing to give up even though her family didn’t support her.

Later, through a twist of fate, she met He Jikai. The first time they met, he “rescued” her from a crisis. After getting to know her, he encouraged her to chase her dreams, even using his connections to provide her with relatively high-quality resources.

Lin Lang clicked her tongue.

“Rescued her from a crisis”? More like he created the crisis himself!
For instance, what if he already knew about the heroine’s background, deliberately orchestrated the scenario to get close to her, and left a positive impression so she’d think he was someone trustworthy?

As for “encouraging her dreams,” wasn’t that just a clever way to keep her estranged from her family? That way, he could max out her trust and affection for him, making it easier to pursue her. With her emotionally invested and her sunk cost growing, she’d become even more reliant on him.

In the end, even if her family didn’t fully approve, as long as he had the heroine on his side, he’d still benefit from their influence.

Don’t blame her for immediately assuming the worst about He Jikai—it was hard not to, considering everything shady he’d done before.

Lin Lang glanced thoughtfully at Chen Cheng.

Could it be that last night was supposed to be the moment when the male and female leads first met?

But because Gu Qingci, the “villain,” sent He Jikai off to jail, the universe decided to shift the burden onto her, arranging for her to “rescue” the heroine instead?

Apparently, the plot wouldn’t allow the heroine to truly suffer!

What a double standard!

For a moment, Lin Lang felt a pang of sympathy for Gu Qingci.

Poor woman, constantly being wrung dry by fate. The universe clearly wanted her to sacrifice everything for the male lead—her time, her energy, and ideally, her fortune too.

But Gu Qingci wasn’t having it.

Not only did she refuse, but she went full “villain mode,” plotting day and night about how to completely ruin He Jikai’s life.
The heavens could only keep suppressing her, constantly making things difficult for her. They couldn’t allow her to grow too strong, because that would overshadow their “favorite son.”

Lin Lang felt a moment of sympathy for Gu Qingci, but that only lasted three seconds before she remembered—she had no right to feel sorry for her. If anyone had been taken advantage of the most, it had to be Lin Lang herself!

Not only had her family background been stolen and handed over to He Jikai, but after that, she still wasn’t safe. It was too risky, so her own life had been sacrificed as a stepping stone for someone else.

Since the heavens were being so biased, Lin Lang decided not to hold back!

She was going to strike right at their weak spot!

Had He Jikai already hit rock bottom?

Oh, he could definitely be made to suffer even more!

Gu Qingci noticed Lin Lang zoning out and looked at her with confusion, her eyes clearly asking, What are you up to now?
How dare she get lost in her thoughts while right in front of her?

That little pouty expression was just too cute, so cute that Lin Lang felt a little itchy inside and almost wanted to kiss her.

Just as she leaned in, Chen Cheng turned to Gu Qingci with a bright smile and said, “Qingci Jie, my brother said you’ll be taking care of me for the time being.”

Lin Lang’s almost stolen kiss was instantly interrupted. She sighed inwardly. As expected, the male lead was annoying, but the female lead wasn’t much better either.

They were all just trying to mess with her and disturb the sweet, loving moments she was having with the young lady!

Gu Qingci, puzzled, replied, “You’re an adult now.”

An adult who’s physically healthy and only a few years younger than her. Why on earth did she need Gu Qingci to take care of her?

She had just turned 27!

If they were worried about her, they could have just arranged a couple of bodyguards!

Chen Cheng immediately turned to argue with Fang Baihui: “Did you hear that? I’m an adult now! I can handle my own business!”

Oh, so you just interrupted me trying to sneak a kiss to argue with your brother?

With such a big, clueless “light bulb” in the room, Lin Lang could no longer kiss her, so she reluctantly took Gu Qingci’s hand, held it gently, and started to caress it. The young lady’s hand was delicate and smooth, perfectly nurtured—soft, fair, and long, just like the “spring onion fingers” in her mind.

Gu Qingci let her play with her hand, lowering her voice in a soft, almost sultry tone, “What’s wrong?”

She looked a bit displeased.

Lin Lang leaned closer to her ear, replying in a mysterious tone, “Ming Fang, the girlfriend of He Jikai in my dream.”

Gu Qingci’s face was filled with shock. “Really?”

Lin Lang nodded firmly. It’s absolutely true!

Seeing the confirmation, Gu Qingci’s expression changed in a whirlwind of emotions: shock, disbelief, suspicion, and even disdain, before finally settling into a contemplative look.

She didn’t understand, couldn’t understand, and was deeply shocked.

To her, He Jikai had no charm. She hadn’t been attracted to him before, and after what had happened, her feelings had shifted to pure disgust and hatred.

He had become someone she despised even more with each passing day.

Yes, he looked good, but she couldn’t just ignore everything for the sake of his looks, could she? Even back when he was trying to get close to her and seemed to be pursuing her, she never saw any genuine sincerity. All she saw was a performance of deep affection.

She remembered a scene that kept replaying in her mind.

“He Jikai looked up slightly, gazing at her with deep, meaningful eyes. To anyone else, his gaze seemed so full of emotion that it could drown someone in it. Yet, it only made her more irritated.”

It was always like that—him endlessly showing off how deeply in love he was, no matter where or when.

It was all just a show!

It didn’t just fail to move her; it made her want to punch him.

Ugh, just thinking about him made her feel sick, like he was polluting her thoughts!

It was time to clear her head and get her eyes checked.

Lin Lang was different. When she focused on you, it felt like you were the center of her world.

She could make Lin Lang’s heart race.

She just wanted to sink into her love.

After finally finishing the argument with her brother and claiming her independence, Chen Cheng was in a good mood and wanted to share her joy with the two young ladies.

But suddenly, she noticed the room had fallen eerily quiet.
Upon closer inspection—

Hey, what are you two doing? Just holding hands, staring at each other like that? You look like you can’t bear to part, smiling unconsciously, almost sticking together…

She was a bit confused. Aren’t you two just a boss and assistant/bodyguard?

Why does it feel so… peachy?

The pink bubbles around them were so thick it could give anyone goosebumps.

Did her brother have some huge secret he hadn’t told her?

She cleared her throat and coughed loudly.

Lin Lang and Gu Qingci finally snapped out of it, their gazes shifting to her. They silently asked, What’s wrong?

Chen Cheng suddenly felt a bit suffocated.

Ahh, why were their movements so coordinated and natural? Their subtle expressions and small actions were eerily in sync… it really was peachy!

She shook her head, trying to shake the thought of “peachy” from her mind, reminding herself that it was very rude to ship real-life couples when you’re standing right in front of them.

“My brother said he can’t directly support me.” Chen Cheng stuck out her tongue. If their family found out he was helping her directly, they’d probably punish him, and that’d be worse than anything—he’d probably end up with his belt broken.

She didn’t need to explain all that in detail to the two young ladies. She had to give her brother some face.

“So?” Gu Qingci had a bad feeling creeping up on her.

“So…” Chen Cheng smiled sweetly, her tone full of servitude. It seemed like she wanted to come over and massage Gu Qingci’s shoulders, or offer some other form of service: “I’m counting on you, Qingci Jie!”

She quickly added, “My brother said he’d talk to you about it.”

As for what kind of deal he’d make with Gu Qingci for her to help her out in Beijing, that wasn’t her concern!

What could Gu Qingci say to that?

At least she and Fang Baihui had been cooperating happily on several fronts. A small request like this, she could agree to.

She rubbed her forehead, pouted a bit, and then looked at Lin Lang with a soft tone, calling her name like a cute little whine: “Lin Lang.”
The last syllable almost seemed to hook her, making Lin Lang’s heart flutter.

Clearly, she couldn’t resist the young lady’s charm. She gently responded, “Okay. Leave it to me.”

She thought for a moment. Staying at a hotel wasn’t ideal, and it wasn’t secure enough either.

Hmm, the upstairs suite had been vacant for over a month. She could check if anything needed changing or replacing, and then let Chen Cheng stay there for the time being.

Originally, they had planned to tidy it up for when Gu Minglan came over.

Even though the young lady had come out, and Gu Minglan had accepted it, it still felt a bit awkward if they were going to live together.

For now, they’d let Chen Cheng stay there temporarily.

Chen Cheng’s eyes widened slightly.

The words “peachy” kept flashing through her mind, like they were on repeat.

What’s going on here?

Qingci Jie, you’re her boss!

Why is she using such a cute, girly method to get her assistant to do things?

Shouldn’t she just be all serious and commanding, saying, “Lin Lang, take care of this. Do a good job!”

That would have been enough.

But she quickly figured out why it was like this.

While Lin Lang was making arrangements for her, she secretly texted her brother: Did you forget to tell me something?

Fang Baihui replied quickly: “Nope.”

Then, the next second, he added, “I don’t think so?”

Chen Cheng: …

Oh my god, brother, are you really this unsure?

Can’t you be a bit more confident? This is making me scared.

Since the question was about something personal, she instinctively typed more quietly: “I mean, what’s their relationship?”

There was a brief pause on Fang Baihui’s end, then he seemed to have made up his mind.

“Well, since you’re asking, you must have figured it out, right?”

Oh, come on, brother, don’t tease me! You know I don’t have the patience for this!

“Yeah, it’s exactly what you think.”

What do I think? You’re not in my head!

As Chen Cheng anxiously waited and ranted in her mind, Fang Baihui finally got to the point.

“Yes, they’re a couple. You’re smart enough to figure it out, so even if you don’t like it, at least be polite.”

The guess had been confirmed, and Chen Cheng felt a huge sense of relief.

She pouted. Her brother was really worrying over nothing.

It’s not like she didn’t like them or couldn’t accept it. She just wanted to confirm things so she could figure out how to behave around them.
