"Xue'er, what's going on?"

He didn't answer, but instead questioned the current situation, his tone completely treating Fang Xue as his woman.

"Lin Ye, watch your tone. Don't think that just because you've done our family a favor, you can act like this." Fang Xue naturally understood what she meant, but out of consideration for their relationship, she didn't say anything too outrageous.

Luo Chen, however, was too lazy to care about their grudges and stared intently at the young man named "Lin Ye".

[My savior... I used to think you, the protagonist, were disgusting, and I wanted to slap you in the face. But in this critical moment, you stepped forward. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have cursed you. With such a despicable act, you're practically my god.]

[The plot is back on track, finally it's not falling apart anymore, hahaha!]

Luo Chen appeared wary and hostile towards this person's appearance, but in reality, he was overjoyed!

Fang Xue's head was buzzing at this moment.

Lin Ye... is actually the protagonist. If he weren't the protagonist, why would Luo Chen be so happy?

So, this guy is the husband Luo Chen was talking about!

impossible!

Absolutely not!

She had absolutely no liking for Lin Ye!

Fang Xue suppressed her questioning and introduced the situation to Luo Chen.

"Luo Chen, his name is Lin Ye. I got to know him because of some connections."

After saying this, Fang Xue immediately realized something was wrong, and her face turned a little red.

"Wow, President Fang is so cute! She hurriedly explained to Young Master Luo that they haven't even officially gotten together yet, but she's already siding with Young Master Luo."

"That's right, that's right. It seems that President Fang already has feelings for Young Master Luo, otherwise he wouldn't have made that explanation."

"If that's what you all say, then this guy who suddenly appeared has no chance?"

"It's not just hopeless, did you see how impatient President Fang was with him? I guess this guy is just deluding himself."

"..."

Fang Xue's mouth opened slightly. She was just trying to get Luo Chen's thoughts out of him; it wasn't as exaggerated as they were saying.

"Xue'er, it seems you have some misunderstandings about me, but before that, let me help you deal with this trouble."

The young man called Lin Ye turned his head and stared intently at Luo Chen with a gloomy expression.

"Lin Ye, what do you want to do?" Fang Xue didn't care about Lin Ye; she didn't like Lin Ye interfering in her affairs.

Lin Ye didn't answer Fang Xue, but stared coldly at Luo Chen and said, "You're Luo Chen? The guy who's been relentlessly pursuing Xue'er?"

[Goodness, this is definitely a classic trope. Whenever the female lead gets into trouble, the protagonist always shows up to fix things. Tsk tsk, I used to find it a bit annoying when reading novels, but now, well, it's quite interesting. After all, he's her benefactor.]

[But why did you suddenly change your name to Lin Ye? Wasn't your real name Ye Lin? Does that do justice to the name your father (the author) gave you? Whatever, it's none of my business.]

"Who do you think you are? Can't you see I'm busy? And who are you to call me by my name? What status do you have? What right do you have to interfere in my affairs?"

Luo Chen was not to be outdone, and even looked at Ye Lin with disdain, as if he were looking at a cat or a dog.

"you!"

Ye Lin was filled with murderous intent and anger. As the Dragon King and the highest authority in the Dragon King Palace, he could wipe out the Luo family with a single command.

This was the first time Ye Lin had ever heard Luo Chen ask him about his status and qualifications.

If this were abroad, Ye Lin would have already made his move; he's managing to suppress his murderous intent now.

Luo Chen's attitude was contemptuous, his disdainful sneer perfectly showcasing his villainous side.

With her chin held high, she looked down at him and said in a condescending tone, "You speak so weakly, what makes you think you can talk back to me? Don't think that just because you work under Xue'er, I can't deal with you. I can make you lose your job and get out of Ningcheng anytime!"

[Hehe, the dialogue is perfect. According to the main plot, Ye Lin works under the Ice Queen. Although he had some problems at the beginning and was arrested by the Inspection Bureau, well, the protagonist is the protagonist, there's no need to worry. He has his own way of getting close to the female lead. So now, Ye Lin should be the department head, right? In the main story, the Ice Queen saw Ye Lin's exceptional skills and brought him to the group as the security department head.]

[The host successfully dissed the opponent; reward: +3 to physique.]

The system's reward made Luo Chen feel even more relaxed.

Fang Xue was shocked. This Lin Ye was actually Ye Lin, the name Luo Chen had mentioned at the train station.

Fang Xue had this guess as soon as Luo Chen uttered the word "protagonist." No wonder she always felt a sense of familiarity when she heard Lin Ye's name, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.

Now, Luo Chen has given her the answer, but it has only increased her doubts.

Ye Lin's security minister was appointed by her father, Fang Wu, and was to take office today. However, Ye Lin has not yet arrived, so the announcement has not been made yet.

Luo Chen, however, already knew, along with the plot he had been talking about, the female lead, and the protagonist.

This has already made Fang Xue doubt the reality of this world.

Is this world fake, created out of thin air?

"Hahaha, what arrogance! Although you are the young master of the Luo family, this is the Fang family's territory. No matter how powerful your Luo family is, do you think you can order the Fang family around?"

Ye Lin's words were malicious, sowing discord. He seemed to be supporting the Fang family, but in reality, he wanted to anger Luo Chen and planned to use this discord between the two families to the point that a fight would be the best outcome.

He had already obtained Luo Chen's information; he was a good-for-nothing, useless, and ill-tempered playboy.

Luo Chen indeed showed anger and pointed at Ye Lin.

"Do you really think I have no choice? If I weren't going to confess my feelings to Xue'er today, would I allow you to act so presumptuously here!"

Ye Lin's expression turned cold. Only he was allowed to say the name "Xue'er," and no one else was permitted to say it. Luo Chen had provoked him time and time again, and this was no longer a matter that could be easily resolved.

"As the head of the security department of the Fang Group, I naturally have the right to protect Xue'er here. You keep bothering Xue'er, so of course I have to step forward and drive away this fly."

Ye Lin revealed his signature wicked smile. He had used this reassuring phrase many times before, and he was very professional at it. Coupled with his smile, the matter was already settled.

There really isn't a girl who can resist his double power.

[Here it comes, here it comes, the Dragon King's signature smile has appeared. Looks like it's almost over. As long as Fang Xue comes out to stop it, I can say a few more lines and it'll be over.]

[After all, they're calling each other "Xue'er" so intimately; their relationship must be progressing well. It seems like the plot is set this time.]

[The host successfully dissed the opponent; charm points increased by one.]

Fang Xue didn't move. Instead, because of Luo Chen's words, she looked at Ye Lin. Ye Lin smiled even more smugly, thinking that he had conquered Fang Xue.

The Dragon King gave a wicked smile, and his power grew even stronger.

vomit!

Luo Chen's words, coupled with Ye Lin's deliberate showing off, almost made her vomit.
