DLOBML CHAPTER 9

Chapter 9 — F*** Your Abusive Romance (7) | The Daily Routine of “Strategizing” the Male Lead

Under Mrs. Chen’s relentless nudging, Xing Ge started dating again. She was just about to spend a romantic evening with her new girlfriend, stargazing and waxing poetic about life and philosophy, when the male lead struck again.

Remembering Lord Egg’s teaching, Xing Ge refused to stoop to the brain-dead level of the male lead. Unfortunately, he had developed a taste for stealing people’s partners. Mrs. Chen, still without a grandchild in sight, had fallen into despair. Every day she jabbed pins into paper dolls and muttered curses like, “May Wei Yue get hit by a car when he goes out, and may he choke on water when he drinks.”

When Xing Ge caught her ninth girlfriend flirting with Wei Yue outside a hotel room, she decided:

I. Am. Done.

She rolled up her sleeves, grabbed the male lead by the collar, and tossed him onto the carpeted floor inside the room. With a sharp click, she locked the door, cutting off the girl’s shout from outside.

Wei Yue sensed danger. He scrambled up to bolt, but Xing Ge timed a kick that sent him flying, boot first to the backside.

He hit the pristine white bed like a flailing duck diving into a pond.

Xing Ge folded her arms and looked down at him from above.

After all the trouble he had caused, how should she “thank” him properly?

“What… what are you trying to do?” The tall man shrank to the side of the bed.

“What do you think?”

Xing Ge smiled. In a flash she yanked down his trousers.

Yanked down his trousers.

Yanked… down…

Wei Yue was stunned.

“Y-you… you…” He could not even speak. His shirt had already been ripped, revealing a lean, sculpted chest.

“You beast! You’re lower than a dog! Filthy. Despicable!”

Realizing his predicament, Wei Yue shouted in outrage and sank his teeth into Xing Ge’s forearm.

She smacked him across the face, expression icy. “Behave. Or I will make you mute in under a minute.”

“Y-you… shameless!”

His eyes filled with tears, his cheeks flushed as red as a ripe peach.

He had never imagined that gentlemanly Chen Feng would be a wolf in disguise. How had he been so blind as to provoke this man, only to end up a plaything in his hands?

The great male lead was drowning in melancholy.

Of course, he told himself, Chen Feng must have coveted him for ages and used Meng Hui to get close. Otherwise, as a perfect golden bachelor, how could Chen Feng possibly have looked twice at someone as untalented and plain as Meng Hui?

Wei Yue was convinced he had discovered the truth.

While he spiraled, the elegant man above him pinned him with one hand and began loosening his belt. The snap of leather made Wei Yue’s head spin. Never had the full force of another man’s raw presence invaded his senses like this.

Was this it? Was there no escape today?

A tear slid from the corner of his eye.

And Chen Feng, that brute, was not only good-looking but built like a statue. Wei Yue could feel eight distinct abs under his palm. The slate-gray suit had given him the aura of an ascetic god, but once he turned violent, it made hearts hammer even harder.

Wei Yue blushed as he watched the mesmerizing motion of the man unbuckling his belt.

Xing Ge was about to use the belt to tie him when she looked down and found the great male lead crying prettily, chest rising and falling, fair skin flushed with the faint pink of a rose.

Uh…

This atmosphere felt a little off.

“What are you staring at? Keep it up and I will dig your eyeballs out,” she growled.

With inky hair scattered messily over the sheets, Wei Yue bit his red lower lip. Tears shimmered in his eyes. He looked like a respectable married woman bullied by a neighborhood thug. Hearing the threat, he closed his eyes obediently, presenting himself like a lamb awaiting the butcher’s knife.

“…”

Faced with such a “docile” male lead, Xing Ge could not bring herself to bully him after all. She muttered a few perfunctory threats and, when he pouted and nodded, the strangeness in her chest only grew.

She took the chance to slip away.

After that, the male lead did not prance around in front of her and Xing Ge tossed the whole incident from her mind. She smoothly entered a marriage alliance with a certain wealthy family’s daughter.

The priest began, “Mr. Chen Feng, do you take Miss Jiang as your lawfully wedded wife, for better or for worse…”

“I…”

“I do not!”

A deep voice rang from the church doors, firm enough to shake the rafters.

Gasps rippled through the guests.

A man in a snow-white suit strode in with regal confidence.

The bride threw back her veil and cried out in delight. “Ah Yue!”

Mr. and Mrs. Chen both turned mottled green and white with rage. They nearly swore out loud.

Because of Wei Yue’s previous, shameless girlfriend-poaching, they had scheduled the wedding for when that demon king was supposed to be overseas on business. They had guarded against every possibility, and yet he still showed up.

The guests were stunned. Everyone knew about Wei Yue’s dirty tricks. They had whispered jokes on the way in, never expecting the real scene to be even more dramatic than a soap opera.

And look at the bride, tears sparkling and cheeks flushing.

Mu Qing, serving as best man, volunteered on the spot to lead the groomsmen in throwing the idiot out. A hand shot out to stop him.

The groom, Xing Ge, loosened the red tie at her throat and narrowed her eyes at Wei Yue’s slow approach. The warning in her gaze was unmistakable.

“Ah Yue, I am willing! I am willing to run away with you!” The bride lifted her gown and ran straight to Wei Yue, ignoring the frantic signals from her parents.

Wei Yue smiled, cool and light.

Xing Ge’s irritation reached the boiling point. She shrugged off her jacket, methodically rolled up her sleeves, and revealed strong wrists. Her goal for the day was simple: he would enter upright and leave horizontal.

The bride threw herself between them, pleading for them not to fight.

“Chen Feng, please let him go. We truly love each other…”

“Get lost.”

Nothing made her angrier than being given a green hat. Not even from a same-sex rival.

She had bared her heart to this girl, confessed that she could not perform, and suggested a platonic, crystal-clear marriage. The girl had cried buckets and vowed to try. Then she went and hooked up with the male lead behind her back.

Xing Ge brushed aside the fickle woman and grabbed Wei Yue by the tie again, smiling with a hint of bloodlust. “President Wei, you really will not learn until you see your own coffin, will you?”

“I think you misunderstood,” he said softly.

“Heh.” Xing Ge smirked, already imagining a hundred perfect ways for the male lead to meet an untimely end.

The beautiful man was silent for a long moment. Then he rose on his toes and kissed her.

“Actually, I came to steal the groom.”

What the—

What the, what the, what the????!!

The world went white in a flash. Wei Yue’s peach-blossom face, eyes smoldering, vanished. In its place appeared a miserable egg.

“…”

“Lord Egg, I remember you used to have hair.”

All your fault! Ji Dan fumed silently. You tell me. As a delicate, fragile cannon fodder, why did you have to pick a fight with the male lead? Picking a fight was bad enough, but you went and bent the rival’s orientation!

Does your family know how outrageous you are?

“Forget it. What is done is done.”

Ji Dan plopped down in defeat. “The newbie trials end here. In short, do not over-interfere with the main plot. As for the rest, let fate decide.”

He sounded like an old monk who had seen through the world.

Xing Ge chuckled awkwardly. “I will remember your advice.”

“Go on. Do not stay here.”

Ji Dan gave a little shiver and sent her out. In his heart, he prayed he would never see this troublemaking woman again. No, she was absolutely not a woman. What woman was this shameless, this brazen, this indecent?

No. He needed to go burn incense and pray. Clearly the Buddha had sent this creature to torment him because his devotion had been lacking.

Yes. That had to be it.
