When you get home today and see Yu Xinyu washing clothes in the washing machine, be sure to scold him! Scold him! Tell him he's careless; how can he not even hand-wash your clothes and underwear?!
Cen Yu: "..."
"Dude, this guy is such a loser!"
He really couldn't help but complain!
Putting aside how I suddenly transmigrated a month ago, and putting aside how I suddenly became bound to a system and transmigrated into some kind of popular romance novel, the role I'm supposed to play is just utterly absurd!
"Sweet Desire! I Became a Heartthrob After Dumping My Jerk!" is the title of this novel.
The story revolves around a pampered wife who falls in love with a bad man after seeing him, only to find that he doesn't care about her at all. In order to be with her true love, the scumbag, she refuses to contact her wealthy family and insists on digging for wild vegetables with him to prevent them from using her for a marriage alliance.
Furthermore, the scumbag himself is a true "phoenix man" (a man from a poor background who achieves success in society), and he loves to make things difficult for the protagonist.
Fortunately, at this time, the protagonist's friend A, who couldn't stand it anymore, the scumbag's boss B, and the scumbag's friend C (who was also his marriage partner) were all attracted by the protagonist's kindness and fragility, and fell in love with this innocent and resilient (and indeed wealthy) young master.
Under the warmth of everyone's kindness, the wife realized that the scumbag was indeed not a good man, and she resolutely divorced him, making him regret it deeply.
This sets the stage for the story's "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" trope, where the protagonist never looks back, leaving the scumbag heartbroken and ultimately jumping off a building.
—Anyway, according to the information the system sent him, when he transmigrated, these people were still performing a skit and hadn't finished their tussle yet.
Yes, that's right. Cen Yu's time travel and the role he needs to play is this incredibly wealthy and successful man from humble beginnings.
The system was considerate of him being new to the novel and didn't assign him any tasks or increase his difficulty level a while ago, but it seems what was bound to happen has finally arrived today...
Cen Yu frowned as she watched this part of the story. Although she didn't understand how this scumbag could have the exact same name as her, the plot was just too infuriating!
When the scumbag returned home, he saw his beautiful wife, Yu Xinyu, washing his clothes and underwear. Instead of being moved by his wife's thoughtfulness, he was not touched at all.
Instead, they accused Yu Xinyu of wasting electricity!
These clothes and underwear are so small, hand washing would be perfectly fine. Why waste time using a washing machine?
"I can't stand it, this guy is such an idiot." Cen Yu couldn't help but complain to the system again.
He even suspected that the novel's author hated him, otherwise how could such an idiot have the exact same name as him?
[Host, be patient! Once the main male leads discover Yu Xinyu's beauty, you can retire.]
The system was a large orange cat. It seemed to sense Cen Yu's impatience and rubbed its head against Cen Yu's leg a few times, as if trying to comfort him.
Just as Cen Yu was about to say something, he heard the system say—
Follow the plot! Follow the plot!
When Yu Xinyu saw Cen Yu returning home in a suit, his eyes lit up as he was about to turn off the washing machine, and he immediately went to the door—
"..."
No matter how many times he watched it, seeing Yu Xinyu's docile and dependent appearance always made Cen Yu feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Yu Xinyu was wearing an apron, her medium-length hair was tied back with a rubber band, leaving only a few strands hanging on her cheeks. When she saw Cen Yu, her eyes lit up and her cheeks flushed, showing the shy and bashful appearance of a young girl in spring.
Then, taking small, quick steps, she arrived in front of Cen Yu.
She slightly bent her knees and buried her face in Cen Yu's shoulder, "You're back~ Honey, I missed you so much~"
Cen Yu looked at Yu Xinyu, who was slightly kneeling, with a subtle expression. He actually suspected that another reason why Cen Yu in the original story spoke so harshly to this person was—
Yu Xinyu was actually taller than him.
Cen Yu is just over 180cm tall, while Yu Xinyu is about 185cm tall. However, Yu Xinyu is slender and tall, and she is also very beautiful, so her coquettish behavior is not offensive.
—But who is Cen Yu playing?
A cold-blooded, ruthless, chauvinistic scumbag!
He suddenly shoved Yu Xinyu away, and then began to unleash his fury as instructed in the script—
"No wonder you do laundry so fast every day." Cen Yu had left work early today because she wasn't feeling well. "Turns out you're just putting on a show! You're not actually washing properly!"
He pointed to the washing machine that had just been turned off and said, "Didn't I tell you? You have to hand wash your clothes. You can't be lazy!"
"Especially my underwear, it has to be hand-washed!"
While internally ranting and raving, Cen Yu was simultaneously unleashing his fury—
"You really don't know the cost of living when you're not in charge of the household. How much do you think the electricity bill is every month?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xinyu immediately looked up, "...I can pay you the electricity bill."
Cen Yu knew, of course, that Yu Xinyu was rich. He considered the reaction of this kind of scumbag from a poor background to hearing this, and immediately started to retort, "I said it's not about money."
"It's a problem with your attitude."
As he spoke, he took off his suit jacket and threw it onto the sofa next to him.
Then he loosened his tie, stretched his shoulders and neck slightly, and said to Yu Xinyu—
"Alright, stop making excuses!"
"Go and hand wash my clothes right now."
After saying that, he didn't even look at Yu Xinyu, who was looking down and fidgeting with her fingers as if she had suffered a great injustice, and pushed her away and walked into the bedroom.
