"Miss Ji, my name is Pei Yuchen," Pei Yuchen said with an upturned corner of his mouth.
When Ji Nian heard his name, she was instantly doused with a basin of cold water, still immersed in the beauty of the man's face.
She stared wide-eyed and couldn't help but cry out in shock, "What? Your name is Pei Yuchen?"
Seeing the woman's unbelievable expression, Pei Yuchen was puzzled, but his face still held a gentle smile as he asked, "What's wrong? From Miss Ji's expression, have you heard my name before?"
Ji Nian was stunned speechless. The biggest villain of the whole book appeared just like that, without any foreshadowing or suspense.
She had almost been fooled by his harmless appearance just now. She was really careless!
Pei Yuchen looked gentle and refined on the outside, well-mannered and courteous in his behavior, carrying an aloof and unapproachable aura about him, like a god high above.
In summary, he was the kind of man with charm and wealth in one body.
However! As the biggest villain of this book, he was a real psycho who almost bankrupted the male lead's family and caused deaths in his fight over the female lead later on. If not for Ye Jingzhan's plot armor, this guy would have snatched Shen Shuyao for himself.
"Miss Ji?" Pei Yuchen saw that the woman was standing there stunned without speaking, and called out in puzzlement.
Ji Nian regained her senses and saw that the man still had a gentle smile. She shivered, this psycho shouldn't be provoked. He was even harder to deal with than the male lead.
"Um... Doctor Pei, I have something to do and need to go back first," Ji Nian said with a dry laugh. "See you."
After speaking, she quickly walked away, her heart thumping. Staying by the female lead's side was also extremely dangerous. With the appearance of this villain, she had almost been scared to death.
Seeing the woman leaving as if she was escaping, a trace of coldness flashed in Pei Yuchen's deep eyes. Did he hear wrongly just now? This woman had called him Doctor Pei?
All the way back to the villa in a panicky state, Ji Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief as she sat on the luxurious leather sofa, trying hard to recall the plot of the novel.
But no matter how she tried, she couldn't remember the details clearly. After all, she had read the novel before coming here, but who would remember so clearly afterwards?
As everyone knew, every CEO had a doctor friend behind him, and every CEO would call that doctor over in the middle of the night because of the female lead several times.
That's right, Pei Yuchen was that legendary doctor friend of CEOs.
This doctor friend was no simple character. He grew up together with the male lead Ye Jingzhan since childhood, and their families were also generations-old friends. Their families' wealth were on par.
The Ye family mainly developed domestically, so they were a famous family in the country. The low-key Pei family mainly had more overseas businesses, but they were still a match for the Ye family domestically.
However, more people paid attention to the Ye family. Many knew that the Ye and Pei families were business partners and old friends, but didn't know that the Pei family's strength was actually immeasurable.
As a result, in the fights between the two men over the female lead later on, Pei Yuchen almost bankrupted the male lead's family and caused loss of lives.
Speaking of this villain, Ji Nian particularly admired him. When reading the novel, she had always shipped the CP of Ye Jingzhan and Shen Shuyao, and was annoyed by this villain who kept destroying the main couple's relationship and creating misunderstandings.
It was said that birds of a feather flock together. Ye Jingzhan as the male lead, the people he hung out with were quite similar, all having some problems. The male lead was repulsed by women due to childhood trauma.
As for the villain Pei Yuchen, he also became extremely possessive due to childhood trauma. Although gentle and approachable on the outside, only Ji Nian knew that it was just a facade.
"Goodness!" Ji Nian sat on the sofa hugging a pillow, completely dumbfounded.
Why did she stay? Because she had to hug the female lead's thighs tightly. The book wrote that the female celebrities who helped Shen Shuyao did not end up too badly eventually.
She was supposed to have disappeared from this world as a minor character, but came here by accident.
She must ride on the female lead's coattails. At least she couldn't end up too miserably. Bringing the male and female leads together was her biggest mission now.
What were the male and female leads? Heaven's favorites. No matter what bad things happened to them, it would get resolved eventually. Although the appearance of this villain did play a role in pushing their relationship forward, it also created a lot of trouble.
So Ji Nian decided! She must stop Pei Yuchen from approaching the female lead! He must not get close to Shen Shuyao, so as to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings for the male lead.
With this thought, she still felt somewhat troubled. Shen Shuyao was not by her side all the time. If something really happened, she wouldn't know about it either!
She should think of ways to find more opportunities to get closer to the female lead, best if they could stick together everyday.
At this time, after filming her scenes, Shen Shuyao took more than two hours to drive back to Jingdu.
Before she even reached the company, she received a notice from Liu Yi asking her to have lunch with Ye Jingzhan at noon.
When He Yi came to the company and received information from higher management that Shen Shuyao had a background, she didn't expect that background to be a famous prince of Jingdu and the big boss behind Huayu.
So He Yi still had a dumbfounded look now as she looked at the displeased Shen Shuyao and said, "Uh, Shuyao, Assistant Liu said he'll come by later to pick you up."
Shen Shuyao was a little unhappy. With a pout, she said, "Alright."
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Liu Yi arrived in his car. Seeing the woman get into the car, He Yi still had that dumbfounded expression in her eyes. Her artist had a promising future in this company!
In the car, Shen Shuyao looked at the cold and stern man. Dressed in a black suit, he sat with an unapproachable manner, emitting a keep-away aura.
"Mr. Ye, did you ask me to come over for something?" Shen Shuyao asked.
Ye Jingzhan turned his head. Strangely, this woman seemed to have some kind of power to instantly calm him down a lot. His mind kept unconsciously thinking back to that night.
Seeing the woman's fair and delicate neck, his mouth went dry as he said, "As my woman, do I still need a reason to find you?"
Hearing this, Shen Shuyao's earlobes turned slightly red. As his woman? This sentence sounded very overbearing, but there was no denying that although this man had a bad attitude, his family background and looks were what every woman dreamed of having in a boyfriend.
"Does Mr. Ye mean..." Shen Shuyao turned to look over, only to be stunned by the sharp contours of his profile and near perfect side view. She couldn't help asking in a daze, "Are we considered to be dating?"
"Dating?" Surprise flashed in Ye Jingzhan's eyes. Wasn't he just sponsoring this woman? He had never thought about the word dating before. "How does one date?"
Liu Yi was driving and almost took a sudden turn upon hearing this. He held in his laugh and explained, "Mr. Ye, dating is the stage before marriage when a couple gets along, like going on dates, having meals together, going out to play together..."
It was as if Ye Jingzhan had opened the doors to a new world. He rarely interacted with women, so while he had heard of the term dating, he didn't know what it entailed.
Shen Shuyao's cheeks were slightly red. She hadn't dated before either, and lost her virginity directly to him...
