When the Scumbag Man is Caught on the Spot

Su Chen gazed at the woman before him, her eyes brimming with affection towards him, and he couldn't help but shiver slightly. "She doesn't seem too sharp!" he thought. "Could she really fall in love with me at first sight?" Considering Su Chen's many years of experience in this world, she undoubtedly seemed like the main female character. "If I can't confront her, can't I at least avoid her?" With that thought, Su Chen quickly pulled his hand back. He nonchalantly said, "Forget it, I have important matters today, so I'll spare you." After speaking, he deliberately moved to a corner far from Chen Tong.

"What a sad turn of events," he lamented. "From a clear villain role, I've turned into the main lead." Annoyed, Su Chen felt even more frustrated. On the other side, Chen Tong was still in shock. She couldn't have imagined that this seemingly sleazy man could resolve an issue that even a supremely powerful being like her couldn't handle. However, just as she was about to be completely healed, he withdrew his hand, leaving her in agony.

Chen Tong felt extremely uncomfortable. A thought popped into her head; she wished for the man to touch her again. Meanwhile, Su Chen was secretly observing her. To his surprise, she began walking towards him, her eyes gleaming as if she'd found a priceless treasure. A chill ran down Su Chen's spine.

Soon after, a middle-aged man's voice echoed from outside. "Tong'er, what are you doing here?" Turning to look at him, Chen Tong's usually stern face broke into a smile. "Father, why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the main hall chatting with the guests?" "Qin Yu is coming, and I wanted you to be ready. The whole world knows about you and Qin Yu now," he informed her.

Su Chen, upon hearing Chen Tong's name, had an epiphany. "Qin Yu? Chen Tong? Why are they together? So, this woman is Chen Tong?" In the original plot, Chen Tong was a powerful figure in Shanghai. Her business acumen was no less than that of Lin Qingyan, and her ability to win over people was terrifying. Nothing seemed to escape her notice.

The only person the main character, Qin Yu, had ever lost to was Chen Tong. Su Chen didn't know the specifics, but the appearance of Chen Tong felt like a sudden plot twist. Still, he held a positive impression of her, seeing her as the kind of woman many men would want to conquer. Remembering his recent encounter with Chen Tong, a smile crept onto Su Chen's face. He believed she was a formidable character.

From the middle-aged man's words, it seemed something had transpired between Qin Yu and Chen Tong, implying she was indeed the main female lead. "Have they officially started a relationship? I'm not sure," Su Chen pondered. As he continued to contemplate, the middle-aged man approached Chen Tong.

Evidently, he was Chen Tong's father, the leader of the Chen family in Shanghai, named Chen Dalong. The difference between the families of Shanghai and Beijing was the old traditions versus new powers. Although the original plot had powerful Shanghai families trying to expand into Beijing through the Lin family, Chen Dalong was never part of it.

Approaching his daughter, Chen Dalong said indulgently, "My dear, how did you suddenly find a boyfriend?" Continuing, he said, "I can't imagine what luck Qin Yu had to be so liked by my daughter." Chen Tong didn't answer.

To her, Qin Yu's unique character was intriguing, but it was his destiny and aura that truly piqued her curiosity. Suddenly, she glanced at Su Chen. Her curiosity towards him was even stronger. "What's so special about this man?" she wondered. Moreover, her body, which had experienced Su Chen's energy, seemed to yearn for another encounter.

Pressing her moist lips together, Chen Tong gently said, "Father, please go to the banquet first, I'll be there shortly." "Haha, alright!" Chen Dalong, who deeply loved his daughter, naturally agreed. However, before leaving, he cast a meaningful glance at Su Chen, who was not too far away. Once her father left, Chen Tong let out a sigh of relief.

Because of what she intended to do next, Chen Tong felt utterly embarrassed. She approached Su Chen, head lowered, and asked pointedly, "What's your relationship with the Lin family? You're not one of them, are you?"

Su Chen merely chuckled in response. He had already discerned that the woman before him, Chen Tong, was involved with the male lead, Qin Yu. Su Chen decided to continue observing the situation, thinking that if Qin Yu could gain the support of Chen Dalong, the male lead's dominance would undoubtedly return.

"Such is the luck of the male lead," Su Chen mused. "Losing the support of the major power in Beijing, he can instantly find new allies."

Though Chen Tong was indeed formidable, Su Chen felt confident about handling them, but only after ensuring his safety. But of course, the opportunity to create enmity, especially when dealing with someone as influential as Chen Tong, shouldn't be wasted.

"It doesn't matter who I am," he responded. "What's important is why you approached me. Are you trying to confront me?"

He posed these questions in quick succession. "You might not be able to handle the consequences of offending me," he warned. "At that time, you'll regret it."

Finishing his threat, Su Chen stared intensely at Chen Tong. Truthfully, she was indeed beautiful, and he sensed a unique aura about her. Chen Tong shivered slightly. She was afraid, a feeling she hadn't expected. Even when she faced the 99 deadly celestial thunders during the Cheng Emperor tribulation, she hadn't felt a shred of fear.

However, in front of this aura-deprived young man from the blue star, she genuinely felt terrified. Still, Chen Tong realized there wasn't a hint of malice or hostility in Su Chen's gaze. Clearly, he hadn't killed anyone. But she wondered, why did he hide his true intentions behind such a facade?

Chen Tong decided to test him, "You talk a big game. If you really want me, why don't I just agree?"

Free benefits without paying?

Su Chen thought, "What's she up to? It's frightening!" He believed he had a good eye for women, but someone like Chen Tong scared him. "If she's the wife, not even eating goji berries every meal could cure you," he thought humorously.

"Why are you hesitating? Get on with it!" Chen Tong urged impatiently. She wasn't offering herself; she just wanted Su Chen's help to heal her injuries. Chen Tong approached him, her gaze mysterious, "Why are you so slow?" She playfully grabbed Su Chen's hand.

However, to her disappointment, the magical sensation she was hoping for didn't occur. Puzzled, she furrowed her brows. Su Chen felt the softness from his hand and couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Physical intimacy with a woman like Chen Tong was enjoyable, but for Su Chen, it was more like a nightmare. He promptly pulled his arm away from Chen Tong's grip. Yet, in that fleeting moment, she sensed a magical sensation again. Being a former empress with vast experiences, she quickly understood the situation.

For the magical effect to manifest, the man had to initiate the touch. Pondering on this, she directly seized Su Chen's hand and placed it on her waist. Sure enough, the toxins within her were being cleansed at a much faster rate than before. This method was undeniably effective.

A radiant smile spread across Chen Tong's face. Not only could she purge the remaining toxins in her body, but she also felt her power gradually elevating. She wasn't afraid that Su Chen would be unwilling.

No matter his intentions, he wouldn't resist when such a beautiful woman took the initiative. In her eyes, Qin Yu's aura was nowhere near as potent as the man before her. However, Chen Tong pondered, "What does he want? I've been so forward, yet he remains indifferent."

Noticing that Su Chen had kept his hand at her waist and not gone further, Chen Tong felt a hint of dissatisfaction. If Su Chen knew of her thoughts, he would surely be exasperated. "What more do you expect from me?" He internally lamented the proximity between his hand and her shapely figure. Coupled with her flushed appearance, anyone would surely misunderstand their situation.

"How is it? Feels good, right?" After speaking, Chen Tong shot him a coquettish look, hinting at something. Pretending not to notice, Su Chen chose to remain silent.

In no time, both Chen Tong and Su Chen heard footsteps approaching. At a critical moment, Chen Tong wouldn't voluntarily move away from Su Chen. She didn't care about others' opinions of her. However, when Su Chen turned to look, he was immediately stunned.

Lin Qingyan was looking at him with a strange expression. It felt as if time had stopped. Su Chen felt just like a man caught cheating.

He asked, "You came out so quickly?"

Lin Qingyan didn't reply, her gaze fixed on Chen Tong with evident hostility. She was curious about who this Chen Tong was. She didn't seem like an ordinary person and was likely here for the banquet. Why didn't this event occur in her past life? Did her return change the story's trajectory?

Regardless of who it was, Lin Qingyan wouldn't let anyone get close. She stormed over, glaring at Su Chen, "Still looking? Let's go now!" Su Chen initially wanted to take the opportunity to provoke Lin Qingyan and get closer to Chen Tong. He had begun to understand Chen Tong's motives. This cunning woman must be trying to cause a misunderstanding between him and Lin Qingyan. Su Chen thought, why not go along with it? Unfortunately, Lin Qingyan kept creating complications.

"Although she's clearly jealous, she's acting all lovey-dovey with me. What's going on?" Su Chen thought.

Chen Tong wasn't intimidated by Lin Qingyan's cold demeanor.

"I'm just curious. They call you the aloof goddess, but now you're so close to a man. Are you dating him?"

Everyone knew Lin Qingyan as the ice queen who never smiled at any man. But to Chen Tong, Lin Qingyan seemed coquettish.

Lin Qingyan responded coldly, "What I do has nothing to do with you."

Su Chen thought: That's the attitude you should have, Lin Qingyan. Proud, and always acting as if you're doing someone a favor just by speaking to them. Why do you become all sweet and cute only around me?

Chen Tong teased, "So the goddess can either be ice-cold or completely fall for someone."

Lin Qingyan raised an eyebrow, "What I'm like is none of your business!" She wondered how this woman could be so intimidating. Should she get someone to get rid of her? But something Chen Tong said made her alert about people's perceptions of her engagement with Su Chen.

"Now, neither the Su family nor the Lin family seems optimistic about our engagement," she thought. "The reason is we don't interact much. Everyone sees me as outstanding, so no one would think I'd like Su Chen. Including Su Chen's parents."

Lin Qingyan grumbled internally, "When did i ever say that i didn't like Su Chen?" She had forgotten how she had once rejected Su Chen.

The solution was Su Chen. As long as something happened between them, people's perceptions would change. Lin Qingyan felt a strong sense of urgency. Men are naturally drawn to multiple women, and Su Chen had many around him. Although on the surface, she had the advantage of their engagement, she didn't know Su Chen's true feelings.

Various thoughts raced through Lin Qingyan's mind. She felt like the lead in a palace drama, having to both woo Su Chen and fend off potential rivals like Yang Yuxin, Su Xian'er, and others that might appear.

Lin Qingyan didn't want to waste time talking with Chen Tong any longer. She was ready to execute her plan. Striding over to Su Chen with her long legs, she abruptly pulled him away.

Before leaving, she gave Chen Tong a fierce look and commanded Su Chen, "Put your hand on my waist!"

Then, she playfully scolded, "I told you to put it on my waist, not anywhere else!" Su Chen was bewildered. How could he be seen in such a light? In his heart, he knew he wasn't like that. He felt Lin Qingyan was making things up.

Seeing the situation, Jiang Yu quickly followed. Chen Tong, left behind, gazed at Su Chen's retreating figure, her eyes filled with a scrutinizing look. "Interesting, so you are Su Chen!" The primary reason Chen Tong came to the Lin family this time was to assist Qin Yu in dealing with Su Chen, aiming to sabotage their engagement.

But she hadn't expected Su Chen to be like this, so different from the rumors. Shortly after, Chen Tong took out her phone and dialed a number, "Prepare a new dress for me!"

"Big sister, why?" "I think your current outfit looks pretty!" A voice as melodious as an oriole came from the other end.

Blushing, Chen Tong didn't hide the truth, "I accidentally wet my pants, I want a more elegant evening gown."

After ending the call, Chen Tong gazed in the direction Su Chen had left, murmuring softly, "No wonder Qin Yu was so thoroughly defeated, even I'm captivated."

Elsewhere, as Lin Qingyan walked beside Su Chen, she wasn't actually that angry and quickly adjusted her mood. She couldn't miss a good opportunity to bond with Su Chen.

"Su Chen, let me show you around our house. It's quite beautiful!"

Jiang Yu, trailing behind, almost choked on hearing this. Lin Qingyan, the number one goddess of Jingdu, was actually going to personally give a tour to this notorious playboy? Was this something Lin Qingyan would do?

She wondered why Lin Qingyan wasn't more angry seeing Su Chen converse intimately with another strikingly beautiful woman. Unless... Jiang Yu had a terrifying thought: maybe it was actually Lin Qingyan who was besotted with Su Chen, not the other way around.

Suddenly aware of something, Lin Qingyan stopped and glanced at Jiang Yu.

"Jiang Yu, don't you have other things to do? Go handle them." The implicit message was clear: Jiang Yu, leave, don't be a third wheel. "What could I possibly have to do in the Lin residence?" Jiang Yu seemed oblivious to the situation. Lin Qingyan's gaze turned icy.

At that moment, she was incredibly wary. Did this ugly woman not understand, or was she deliberately hinting at having feelings for Su Chen? After pondering, Su Chen would definitely not be interested in a woman with such a flat chest like her.

Lin Qingyan whispered something in Jiang Yu's ear. "Huh?" Jiang Yu looked shocked and promptly turned to leave. Seeing this, Su Chen felt something was amiss. What's going on? He felt like a lamb awaiting slaughter in front of Lin Qingyan.

As Su Chen pondered, Lin Qingyan spoke, "Su Chen, let me show you what I went through growing up." Saying that, she blushed deeply. Su Chen was at a loss for words. Weren't you supposed to be cool and aloof? Why are you blushing when I haven't even done anything? He found it rather ridiculous.

As Su Chen internally grumbled, he noticed Lin Qingyan moving closer until they were just centimeters apart. He wanted to make a move but held back when he realized she had sprayed some perfume. It was too alluring, and he was defenseless. Some things might be external, but in a moment of impulse, they can become internal.

Lin Qingyan seemed to notice the change in Su Chen. She thought, let's see if you dare to flirt with other women now. Her rosy face coupled with an upturned mouth hinted, "I have prepared a big gift for you. Oh, you have a younger brother, right? I've got something for him too." As she said this, Lin Qingyan moved even closer, about to press against Su Chen.

Su Chen felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. He wondered if he was overthinking. On reflection, he did have a younger cousin, and conveniently, Lin Qingyan had a younger female cousin. He should arrange a meeting between the two. That way, he could finally shut Lin Qingyan up.
