Adopting and Raising the Male Lead and the Villain 329

“Sister Lan, hurry up. They’re waiting in the lounge,” her assistant urged.

Ling Lan knew she couldn’t escape, so she took a deep breath and walked into the lounge with weak and trembling legs.

In the lounge, two handsome and powerful men sat beside each other.

They were the two most powerful characters in the book, but they both favored Zhong Yuhuan.

Ling Lan felt a bit jealous but didn’t dare show it.

Huo Chengming opened his mouth, telling the bodyguards to bring the person over.

Ling Lan blankly stared at the weak man, unable to believe that he was the same person as the one who had pursued her so eagerly before.

In the story, he was one of the supporting male leads, a loyal dog persona. So, with the slightest temptation, he was immediately enamored with her. However, a supporting role was just that, unable to compare with the villain, not to mention the male lead. Now that both the villain and the male lead have joined hands, he would obviously end up with a terrible fate.

Ling Lan grew pale, her lips uncontrollably trembling.

I’m the female lead, I’m the female lead… Ling Lan repeated this many times in her heart, but this type of psychological cue could not curb her fear.

Although she was reborn, her vision was limited. Without her female lead halo, she was just a common girl with a miserable background. She didn’t have a strong mentality, nor the ability to handle difficult situations.

When the villain and male lead joined hands, the plot had already gone completely off-track.

Ling Lan had to face this fact.

It should be very easy for them to deal with a female lead when they join hands, right?

Ling Lan pursed her lips and didn’t dare to conceal anything, confessing everything she had done.

“I don’t know what he did. I never had any intention of harming Zhong Yuhuan…” Ling Lan’s skin had turned pale, and her lips shook even more. She had to admit a truth she had perceived long ago. “I know that I can’t compare to Zhong Yuhuan and that I can’t do anything to her.”

Li Jinyuan lightly spoke, “Wouldn’t it have been much better if you smartened up earlier?”

Huo Chengming was still frowning and only spoke after a long time, “I heard of a story.”

He didn’t say that Li Jinyuan was the one who told him of the story, simply summarizing it.

Ling Lan became paler and paler. It turns out they knew… Turns out that every character knew the events concerning themselves? Then wasn’t my solicitous attitude towards Li Jinyuan akin to fooling around?

Ling Lan was instantly too embarrassed to even think about pulling the plot back on the right track.

Now that I think about it, I’m the female lead of the story, so, of course, I’d want everything to act out according to the original story.

But what about other people?

Especially to a villain like Huo Chengming, who is doomed to have a tragic end and a cannon fodder like Zhong Yuhuan destined to only end up as ashes for someone else.

They definitely wouldn’t be willing to just be a side character in the story! Their destinies could be so easily determined by others…

Ling Lan was immediately even more scared and unconsciously started crying. She hurriedly said, “I know I’m wrong. I really know that I’m wrong. Rest assured, I definitely won’t appear in front of you again…”

She was too afraid to say that she knew of the original plot.

She was afraid that they’d kill her on the spot to keep the secret.

She had witnessed Huo Chengming’s violence. He would definitely kill her.

Huo Chengming didn’t respond for so long that Ling Lan was about to faint from fear. He finally spoke, “Remember your words. Don’t bother trying to stir trouble any further. As long as you have a part in it, Li Jinyuan and I will always find out.”

Ling Lan suppressed her tears. “Yes, yes…”

Huo Chengming and Li Jinyuan got up and left.

The man was naturally brought away as well.

Ling Lan stayed in the lounge and took deep breaths.

She must forget that story, completely forget it… She can’t ever think of it again.

For her, that book wasn’t a halo. It was poison! It was killing her! Ling Lan shivered, went to the washroom to wash her face, and returned to the film site.

The film crew saw that Huo Chengming and Li Jinyuan came to find her. They didn’t know the real reason, so they just thought that they still had some positive feelings towards her from《Time Travel》.

After that, everything went extremely well for Ling Lan in the film crew.

Afterwards, she was always on guard, afraid that someone would find out about the story. She was too afraid to even be jealous of Zhong Yuhuan.

When Huo Chengming was halfway home, he received a call from his assistant, saying that there was something urgent at the office he needed to take care of.

Huo Chengming frowned and called Zhong Yuhuan.

“Huanhuan, can you go to my room and bring my laptop to my company?”

“Oh, okay.”

They had disappeared early in the morning and Zhong Yuhuan was curious about what they were doing. Now that she received Huo Chengming’s call, she assumed that they were probably delayed by something. She quickly went to Huo Chengming’s room.

Their rooms seemed to never be locked from her.
