Chapter 49 I would never cheat! [VIP]

Such a scandal occurred at the engagement party...

Tang Zuo, one of the representatives of the young and promising, sat smiling in the back row, and sitting in front of him was Xia Xiaoqiao, whose engagement and marriage proposal had been rejected by Qin Yuzhen.

Listening to the constant whispers around him, Tang Zuo looked at Xia Xiaoqiao with great interest.

"See, this is the result of his refusal to grant your request. Are you happy now?"

Xia Xiaoqiao's innocent face was filled with gloom. He glared at Tang Zuo resentfully and said bitterly, "That Qin Yuzhen guy! He really won't listen to reason!"

Tang Zuo chuckled, raised his hand, and leisurely selected some desserts from the table to savor.

He couldn't taste the food here, but he could still pretend it was delicious.

Xia Xiaoqiao was still dissatisfied: "I really don't understand, what is it about my Xia family that makes us inferior to that guy? He's skinny and poor, and apart from his barely presentable face, what else makes him worthy of being chosen?"

Xia Xiaoqiao gritted her teeth: "I want to see if their engagement banquet can still go on after this kind of thing is exposed!"

When the time comes, he will use the Xia family's name to go to Qin's mother. Qin Yuzhen is infatuated with love, but Qin's mother won't be!

He is determined to marry into Qinyu Town... For the wealth and luxury he has enjoyed since childhood, no one can stop him!

Tang Zuo was also very curious.

Those involved are often blinded by their own perspective; Ziyu himself couldn't see it, but he could clearly see how much Ziyu's tolerance for that person exceeded...

Upon learning that Qin Yuzhen is indeed behaving recklessly as depicted in the story, will Ziyu be happy that the plot can continue, or will she realize her own feelings beforehand?

Her gaze was cast into the distance, landing like an arrow on the soon-to-be-engaged couple in the center of the crowd.

Ziyu kept his head down, so his expression was not visible.

For the first time, Qin Yuzhen, who was usually calm and arrogant, showed signs of panic.

Qin's mother was so frightened that she took a few steps back and fell into Qin's father's arms.

Qin's father hugged Qin's mother, his square face almost completely red with anger. If it weren't for the fact that there were so many people around, he probably would have already slapped Qin Yuzhen!

Their family has never taught their children to treat relationships so chaotically!

Qin's father was furious: "Qin Yuzhen, tell me, is all of this true or false?!"

Qin Yuzhen took a deep breath and glanced at Ziyu. Ziyu's hair was very long, so he couldn't see the emotions in his eyes. He could only see the tightness of his lips.

Qinyu Town seemed to have suddenly lost its spirit.

Qin's mother quickly grabbed Qin's father: "How could it be true? Can't you see how much Yuzhen likes Ziyu? This must be someone trying to harm Yuzhen! How can you say such a thing?"

Qin's mother looked at Qin Yuzhen: "Yuzhen, Ziyu, don't be afraid. Mom will call someone. Mom will go and contact people to catch this person who is spreading rumors. You can continue with your engagement..."

"...It's true."

Qin Yuzhen's voice was calm, but if you listened carefully, you could hear a slight ripple in it.

Qin's mother was incredulous.

"What did you say?"

Qin Yuzhen repeated once more, "It's true."

“The photos he posted are all real; I did take those photos.”

"Absurd!" Qin's father shouted angrily.

Qin Yuzhen had just raised his head when a palm strike carrying anger suddenly came hurtling towards him.

In an instant, a red mark appeared on Qin Yuzhen's already pale cheeks.

Ziyu then realized what was happening and quickly pulled Qin Yuzhen over.

"Uncle Qin!"

Qin Yuzhen looked dazed and incredulous at Ziyu, who was protecting him.

—He's still protecting me...?

Ziyu... Ziyu...

Qin Yuzhen lowered his eyes and silently tightened his grip on Ziyu's hand.

Standing before the furious Qin's father, Ziyu was completely unaware of Qin Yuzhen's inner turmoil. He nervously said, "Let's settle this privately!"

This scene isn't in the story!

Even if the plot is going to fall apart, it shouldn't fall apart like this, right?

Qin's father looked at Ziyu, his anger barely concealed.

It's all his fault!

It's all because of that vixen!

It's disgusting enough that a man would willingly submit to others, but now he's turned his most prized son into this state!

Qin's father was absolutely furious.

Previously, Qin's father dared not say much because of his mother's protection, but seeing this completely out-of-control scene, his pride was so great that anger burned in his brain, making him unable to think.

Even now, he refuses to believe that his son was born gay. He stubbornly believes that it must have been someone else who seduced him, and that Ziyu was the culprit.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his other hand and was about to swing it down at Ziyu's face!

"Bang!"

Qin Yuzhen strode forward instantly, ignoring what he bumped into, and grabbed his father's wrist.

Those dark eyes were filled with a deep, sinister glint, and the fierce force of his gaze startled even Qin's father, who was burning with rage.

"Enough!"

Qin's mother finally came to her senses.

Seeing that the scene before her was about to become a laughing stock among the guests, she instantly regained her composure and manners as a lady of high society.

As the previous head of the Qin family, she quickly calmed down.

She forced a smile and said to the guests, "I'm truly sorry for wasting everyone's time. Our Qin family will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. We are absolutely not afraid of rumors, and we will give the public an explanation of the truth as soon as possible. Please be rational. This engagement banquet will be canceled for now..."

"no!"

The crowd erupted in uproar.

Xia Xiaoqiao, sitting in the back row, stared wide-eyed at Qinyu Town.

Tang Zuo also put down the dessert in his hand.

Ziyu, caught in the middle of the line of sight, was in complete confusion.

Unconcerned about the chaos, Qin Yuzhen coldly repeated, "The engagement banquet continues."

Qin's mother frowned; she simply couldn't understand Qin Yuzhen.

The host looked at Qin's mother and then at Qin Yuzhen, standing there awkwardly.

"You've taken all these photos! And you still want to get engaged?" A clear voice suddenly rang out in the silence, "This is the first time I've heard of Mr. Qin being like this..."

Seeing all eyes on him, the man curled his lips, a smug look flashing across his face, which bore a resemblance to Qin Yuzhen.

"...Shameless."

It's Mingyu.

Mingyu, who has lost his memory.

Ziyu let out a heavy sigh; he was completely at a loss for what to do.

Although Mingyu is an artist under QY Company, he is backed by the Lin family, who have considerable wealth in City A.

He didn't know why he couldn't stand Qin Yuzhen standing with Ziyu.

"President Qin just admitted it himself, right? You were involved in taking these photos, so it's impossible for them to be fabricated rumors... Since the photos are real, then the rumors are real too, right?"

Mingyu sneered: "I didn't know that President Qin liked to put on a deep and affectionate persona in public. He's even better at it than us actors!"

The guests began to whisper among themselves again.

"I really didn't expect that."

"With President Qin's acting skills, who needs an actor? He could do it himself."

"Enough! Stop talking! Are you out of your mind?"

Qin Yuzhen gripped Ziyu's hand tightly, faced the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "These were indeed all taken by me."

He declared emphatically, "But the so-called infidelity is completely fabricated!"

Ziyu turned her head in shock to meet Qin Yuzhen's eyes.

Actually, he's come to terms with things now that they've developed to this point.

As for what the post revealed, Ziyu thought it was only barely close to the plot, since in the previous playthrough, Qin Yuzhen had been involved in various scandals since graduating from university.

However, it didn't appear in this playthrough. Ziyu was worried that the plot might break down, but unexpectedly, it reappeared here.

Although the timing of his appearance made him a little uncomfortable.

Ziyu forcibly ignored his dissatisfaction.

Since he's already a scumbag seme, does he really have to feel bad about his subsequent actions because of the NPC's out-of-character behavior in the past?

It's just a bunch of data. Whether it's Qinyu Town or Mingyu, it's all the same.

With a slight modification to the main system, everything they and the players experienced will disappear.

Ziyu felt a sharp pang in his heart at the thought that Qinyu Town might disappear.

He thought of Qin Yuzhen, who had knelt in the rain for days and nights in the previous playthrough, pleading desperately; he thought of Qin Yuzhen, who had spoken of upholding male virtues in the private room in this playthrough; he thought of Qin Yuzhen, who had taken meticulous care of him during the six years he was in a coma; and he also thought of Qin Yuzhen, who had run desperately towards him in the cave…

Will such a character also lose all data during the main system's cleanup?

Ziyu lowered his eyes.

What's there to be reluctant about? Could he really have fallen in love with a filthy, chaotic, scumbag NPC?

Ziyu had originally planned to just let things continue as they were, admitting to the mess in Qinyu Town and refusing to hold the engagement banquet, which would have allowed him to indirectly reverse the plot.

Anyway, he's just a player.

But what is Qinyu Town planning to do now?!

Qin Yuzhen seemed to have been relieved of something, and the heavy expression on his face disappeared.

"These photos are all Lin Keyi's last wishes."

Ziyu: ?

Guest: ...What?

Ziyu's heart skipped a beat.

He suddenly realized that if he wanted to salvage the situation, he had to stop Qin Yuzhen from saying what he was about to say!

Before he could even speak, Qin Yuzhen blurted out everything he had kept hidden for so many years.

“I have never cheated on anyone, and I have never fallen in love with anyone other than Ziyu.”

"All the photos and rumors were taken on purpose by me out of gratitude and to fulfill a friend's last wish."

"All of this is to create the image of me as a playboy in the public eye."

Qin Yuzhen's gaze slowly shifted to Ziyu's face, which showed a dazed expression.

He spoke firmly, word by word.

"I only love Ziyu, and I only have feelings for Ziyu. I have no sexual desire for any other man or woman. I would never cheat on you."

?

Ziyu staggered back two steps.

If he hadn't remembered that so many eyes were staring at him, he probably would have screamed out in alarm.

One character is portrayed as a cold-hearted, arrogant scumbag who's a womanizer, but now he's publicly admitting he's frigid?!

Are you crazy?!

At the same time, the assistant's voice finally came through again.

[Plot deviation 100%! Plot deviation 100%!]

[Warning! Warning! The host's mission has failed. The final deadline for redemption is three months. If the plot deviation remains at 100% after three months, the host will be trapped in the game world forever!]

Ziyu looked at the chaotic engagement banquet in despair. His gaze fell on the surprised Mingyu, the smiling Tang Zuo, and the Xia Xiaoqiao who was covering her face, and finally settled on the face of the scumbag—Qin Yuzhen.

He thought in despair, "Everyone's character is out of character this time!"

How could he possibly save this plot?!

A note from the author:

I've been laughing as I write this... Qin Yuzhen himself has slipped out of my control. This wasn't how I originally envisioned him, but he's completely speaking for himself through my pen...
