Kawashima Mie fell silent for a moment after hearing this.

Lying is pointless in front of Wei Tianci, who seems to know everything.

But telling the truth is obviously not an option.

Finally, she said, half truthfully and half falsely, "I have a friend in Zhonghai, and he invited me to come here."

“I’ve been free lately, so I came over.”

Wei Tianci was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized.

[How stupid of me! What did this ruthless female swordswoman have to do with me? The only reason must be because of Ye Fan.]

Then, combined with her furtive behavior during the day, the answer becomes obvious.

This woman must have come to steal the hard drive back for Ye Fan.

He smiled faintly: "A male friend, right? He must be very outstanding."

[To be honest, Kawashima Mie was really unlucky. Even though she barely became the female lead, she was actually the least popular one.]

Ye Fan at least had feelings for the other female leads before pursuing them, but with Kawashima Mie, it was purely exploitation.

[In the early stages, she was used as a tool to carry out various missions, and no one ever felt sorry for her.]

Later on, because Ye Fan couldn't gather enough women with pure Yin energy, he even planned to force Kawashima Mie to take her place.

Completely disregarding her life or death.

Kawashima Mie was taken aback.

She herself is a renowned female swordswoman and the next head of the Kawashima family.

How could I possibly become the female lead for that bastard Ye Fan?

And they were treated unfairly?

This is outrageous!

Unforgivable!

Her face was as cold as ice as she said, "My friend has no redeeming qualities whatsoever; he's just trash."

“If it weren’t for the previous generation, he would be worthless in my eyes.”

"He is a disgusting and nauseating person."

Wei Tianci's face darkened upon hearing this.

[Ye Fan and her relationship seems to be very bad? What's going on?]

He shook his head, too lazy to think about it: "Since we can't sleep anyway, shall we watch some interesting short videos?"

Wei Tianci then took a laptop from the bedside table.

He sat leaning against the headboard, his notebook in front of him.

Kawashima Mie's expression changed slightly after seeing his actions. How could a Japanese person not know what adult films were?

Men are all the same!

She said calmly, "What are you going to show me?"

Wei Tianci gave her a mysterious smile: "You'll know once you see it."

He also patted the spot next to him.

Kawashima Mie glared at her expressionlessly, but then heard an unexpected thought.

"You're just here for this, woman, what are you pretending for?"

Kawashima Mie had a sudden thought, then sat up and stood next to Wei Tianci, looking at the screen.

With just one glance, her heart stirred.

It turned out to be a video of Ye Fan stealing formulas from the Tianxing Group's storage facility.

It's crystal clear from every angle.

She glanced at the USB drive on the laptop.

"It seems this is the final video base."

However, she felt inexplicably agitated.

She, a dignified female swordswoman, was repaying a favor from a previous generation.

Now he's somehow ended up helping a thief steal things, and he's become a thief himself.

That's utterly absurd.

She suddenly felt incredibly worthless and meaningless, thinking that Ye Fan was truly low-class.

After repaying this favor, I will return to Japan immediately and never have anything to do with Ye Fan again, giving him no chance whatsoever.

She then said, "Let's watch a different movie, something more interesting."

Wei Tianci nodded and then put on a comedy movie by Stephen Chow.

He burst into laughter shortly after watching it.

Without his noticing, Kawashima Mie's lips curved into a smile, which she then immediately suppressed.

After laughing loudly, Wei Tianci noticed the silence around him and was taken aback.

[Sigh, it seems like Mie Kawashima really has a problem with her laughter mechanism.]

[Then watching comedy movies might be a bit hurtful to me; I didn't think it through.]

He then turned his head and said, "Actually, after watching too many comedy movies, they're all the same. Let's change to another one."

He voluntarily put on a serious, heartwarming romantic drama.

Kawashima Mie stared blankly at his profile for a long while before softly saying, "Okay."

In the blink of an eye, two hours have passed.

Wei Tianci fell asleep while holding his laptop.

Kawashima Mie glanced at him quietly, then slowly and gently rested her head on his shoulder.

Then, as if he had done something wrong, he dared not breathe too loudly and watched the whole movie by himself.

After the movie ended.

Kawashima Mie's face showed a complicated expression. She said softly, "Young Master, you're already asleep. I'm going back to my room."

Wei Tianci did not respond.

Kawashima Mie then got out of bed and placed the notebook on the bedside table.

She still remembered her two tasks.

First: Get the hard drive back.

Second: He became Wei Tianci.

She casually unplugged the USB drive containing the surveillance footage and put it in her pocket.

Then she waved her hand again, summoning the Cicada Wing Scimitar.

She held the knife, staring blankly at the sleeping Wei Tianci, her arm remaining still for a long time.

If people in the martial arts world knew about this scene, they would be greatly surprised.

Kawashima Mie always took people's heads swiftly and decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

So although she killed countless people, no one ever saw what her scimitar looked like.

Because she acted too quickly, without the slightest compassion.

None of her targets survived.

That's why she earned the title of Ruthless Blade King!

But at this moment, she hesitated!

Indecisiveness is a major taboo in navigating the world.

The ruthless female swordswoman made such a basic mistake.

Kawashima Mie looked at Wei Tianci with her bright eyes filled with complex emotions.

In just one day, she felt as if she and Wei Tianci had been together for ten years.

She will never forget that feeling!

She couldn't bring herself to do it!

With a whoosh, Kawashima Mie finally sheathed her knife, turned around, closed the door, and left without looking back.

[Well, Miho and I were, after all, master and servant, so consider this hard drive a gift from me to her.]

According to the original plot, after the Kawashima family was about to have an internal conflict, Miho was stripped of her power and then fled to Nakami.

Then Ye Fan seized the opportunity, sheltered her, and treated her with care and concern, making her work for him.

[But for this reason, Ye Fan always had a benefactor mentality towards Kawashima Mie.]

Therefore, he never respected Mei Hui, often scolding her as if she were a subordinate of the Dragon Emperor's Palace.

Since the plot unfolded ahead of schedule this time, Meihui's triumphant return with the hard drive today makes her the hero.

[Then she must hold an even greater place in Ye Fan's heart, right?]

Although it's still for advancing the plot, if it can make Miho's life better, then I guess I'm doing a good deed.

Oh, my damned kindness.

Wei Tianci sat up and leaned against the headboard, lost in thought.

Kawashima Mie stood outside the door, dumbfounded.

"Is he pretending to be asleep?"

"Did he deliberately let me take the hard drive?"
