Zhao Meng'er stared blankly at the food Luo Chen had picked up for her, somewhat bewildered.
Whether it was a coincidence or not, the fish that Luo Chen picked up was exactly the kind of fish she liked to eat.
[Sigh, Meng'er's favorite food is fish, especially the boneless kind. With the sauce, a bite of rice with it is just so delicious! But in this situation, she wouldn't dare do that; it would be unbecoming of her image, not at all like a young lady from a wealthy family.]

"..."
Zhao Meng'er was once again deeply moved. She had become accustomed to being able to hear Luo Chen's thoughts.
But what did Luo Chen call her?
Meng'er.
Such an intimate way of addressing him, and it didn't feel strange at all; it seemed that Luo Chen had called him that many times before.
Thinking back to their previous meetings, Luo Chen either ignored her or simply said "Hey," "Miss Zhao," or even her full name.
I've never called her "Meng'er".
Zhao Meng'er's feelings became complicated.
She was already dissatisfied with the marriage; Luo Chen didn't like her, never paid attention to her, and didn't care about her.
All I ever hear is Fang Xue, Fang Xue's name.
This clearly indicates that he only likes Fang Xue.
She was initially very angry. He was clearly his fiancée, yet he liked another girl. Besides, she was no less capable than Fang Xue; apart from her family background, she was superior in every way.
Luo Chen still didn't focus his attention on her, relentlessly pursuing Fang Xue time and time again.
Originally, Zhao Meng'er wanted to express her thoughts today and break off her engagement with Luo Chen.
But at this moment, upon hearing Luo Chen's thoughts, Zhao Meng'er hesitated.
The word "Meng'er" in particular evoked indescribable emotions in her.
"Thanks."
Zhao Meng'er thanked him gently, while taking small bites of the fish that Luo Chen had put on her plate.
The fish was delicious, and Zhao Meng'er looked satisfied.
[Knowing you like fish with lots of seasoning, I made it especially for you. Look at your undisguised satisfaction! Be careful, or your image might crumble. But I'm clever enough that no one noticed. I'm such a little devil, hehehe.]
Hearing Luo Chen's smug remark, Zhao Meng'er couldn't help but chuckle, then coughed, making her extremely embarrassed.
[What's she doing? It's just a piece of fish, why is she so excited? She must be really hungry, otherwise why would she be eating so eagerly?]
[Host successfully dissed, reward 1111 coins]
"System, what do you mean by this! What are you implying!" Luo Chen questioned, dissatisfied, upon seeing another 1111 gold reward.
The system did not respond, leaving Luo Chen with nowhere to vent his frustration.
Zhao Meng'er was speechless. She was eating so slowly and gracefully, behaving like a proper young lady, yet this guy called her impatient. If she hadn't heard Luo Chen's thoughts, she wouldn't have acted that way.
The sweet feeling that had been there vanished instantly, and she gave Luo Chen a soft hum.
"???"
Luo Chen was puzzled, indicating that he didn't understand why Zhao Meng'er would suddenly do such a thing.
Half of the mealtime had passed, and apart from the first time Luo Chen served Zhao Meng'er food at the beginning, he hadn't served her any more.
Chen Fen's hints were useless; Luo Chen resisted, lest the plot fall apart.
Patting his round, bulging belly, Luo Chen felt completely satisfied.
Chen Fen felt the atmosphere was right and asked Luo Chen, "Chen'er, are you satisfied with the food?"
"Satisfied, satisfied, I'm stuffed."
"So, when are you and Meng'er getting engaged?"
"What?"
"Stop pretending. Meng'er is such a wonderful girl, don't you like her?"
Chen Fen raised her voice, and Zhao Meng'er and her mother also looked at Luo Chen.
Zhao Meng'er, in particular, was very curious about Luo Chen's thoughts.
"Mom, I like Fang Xue!" Luo Chen said bluntly.
Chen Fen's face immediately darkened.
Even Zhao Meng'er's mother looked displeased.
Even if she disliked her daughter, she shouldn't have said it to her face. The Zhao family was indeed inferior to the Luo family, but such a humiliating thing still displeased her.
Zhao Meng'er felt the same way, and inevitably felt a sense of loss.
She couldn't understand what she lacked compared to Fang Xue, that made Luo Chen so infatuated.
She's clearly not bad at all; the line of guys who like her could stretch beyond Ningcheng.
[Ugh, this idiotic plot. I don't know what that lousy author was thinking, giving me this kind of character. Too bad I can't fight back. Now, it's all awkward silence.]
Luo Chen was displeased.
Zhao Meng'er was shocked.
What's the plot?
What kind of persona is this?
They cannot resist yet.
What does this mean?
[Actually, if I had to choose, I'd probably pick Meng'er. If Meng'er didn't dislike being compared to Fang Xue, it's hard to say who's prettier. But I have no choice; I'm a simp, and I can't let my persona fall apart.]
Zhao Meng'er's eyes lit up. Her heart didn't lie; if she had a choice, Luo Chen would choose her.
Is this true?
Zhao Meng'er felt a sense of joy, though she didn't know why.
But it also felt strange that Luo Chen couldn't make a choice.
What is the reason?
Also, what exactly does Luo Chen mean by "character setting"?
"Chen'er, is it really okay for you to say that in front of everyone?"
Chen Fen was implying to Luo Chen that there were other people present, unlike at home.
It's one thing for him to talk nonsense at home, but now, with his fiancée and mother-in-law present, how can he still be so inconsiderate?
[Baby's heart is also aching. I have absolutely no feelings for Fang Xue. She's the female lead, the protagonist's wife! How could I possibly have any thoughts about her? And I wouldn't even consider it. Wouldn't it have been better if I chose Meng'er? Although she's a bit gluttonous, has a bit of a strange temper, and is a bit ruthless, she's still better than Fang Xue in every way. But I can't help it. In this book, I'm just a villainous simp. I have no choice.]
boom!
Luo Chen's words struck Zhao Meng'er like a thunderclap.
The female lead.
main character.
Villain's sycophant.
Book.
Zhao Meng'er immediately understood the connection between the events.
Luo Chen doesn't like Fang Xue, but he has to pretend to like her. Fang Xue is the female lead and the protagonist's wife.
Luo Chen is just a villain's sycophant.
There are also books.
Does that mean that the world she's in right now is actually the story of a book?
Fang Xue is the female lead, and there is another main character.
Luo Chen plays the villain who gives the protagonist experience points.
So what role does she play?
"Mom, I'm telling the truth. I only like Fang Xue," Luo Chen said firmly.
[No, that's a lie. I don't like Fang Xue!]
Pfft!
Zhao Meng'er couldn't help but laugh out loud, which made them look at her strangely.
Zhao Meng'er couldn't help but say, "I've thought of something happy."
"???"
The group looked puzzled. In such a serious situation, how could Zhao Meng'er still be laughing and giving such an excuse? Was she sure there was really no problem?
