Major Brawl Among the Female Leads

Su Chen felt as if the whole world was conspiring against him, especially these female leads who seemed to have their own hidden agendas. Especially Chen Tong, who, even with the spaciousness of the bed, seemed to intentionally move closer to him. But before Su Chen could respond, Zhao Menghan entered the room.

She cautiously scanned the surroundings, moving stealthily, clearly apprehensive. Similarly, Zhao Menghan, like Chen Tong, seemed to harbor mischievous intentions as she approached Su Chen with an anxious demeanor, appearing ready for mischief. Even with his eyes shut, Su Chen could clearly sense Zhao Menghan's heart pounding, with the beats growing louder as she drew nearer. The situation was making Su Chen increasingly uncomfortable. He hadn't expected Zhao Menghan to be so bold as to venture into his room with dubious intentions. He seriously considered standing up and scolding her, but realizing that Chen Tong was also in her energetic state, he decided against it, feeling overwhelmed by the prospect of confronting them both.

Zhao Menghan began by shedding a piece of light clothing, her gaze fixed on Su Chen's handsome face, revealing a mischievous grin. "Young Master Su, you've been so good to me; I must repay your kindness properly." Just when she was about to make her move, the bedroom door unexpectedly swung open.

Su Chen was taken aback! He was certain he had locked the door; how had it been opened so effortlessly? The person entering was none other than Chen Yuxin. She had, unbeknownst to Su Chen, procured a key to his room. Upon her entrance, her eyes immediately landed on Zhao Menghan, who was by Su Chen's bed with mischief in mind.

"Zhao Menghan, what are you doing here?" Chen Yuxin demanded, her tone filled with ire. The sudden appearance of Chen Yuxin left Zhao Menghan stunned. She had ventured here after ensuring Chen Yuxin was asleep, not expecting her to be so alert. Chen Yuxin, having taken an elaborate hour-long bath earlier, had similar suspicions about Zhao Menghan's presence.

In a solemn tone, Zhao Menghan replied, "I was concerned someone might pose a threat to Young Master Su, so I came to ensure his safety." The audacity of her words stunned Su Chen, making him somewhat embarrassed on her behalf. Yet, what was even more astonishing was Chen Yuxin's mirrored response.

In that moment, a tacit understanding seemed to form between the two women, leading them to exit the bedroom together. They even seemed to engage in light-hearted chatter. "Yuxin, did you take a bath?" "Of course, but unlike you, I don't require over an hour." "That's not true. My baths usually take half an hour; attending to Young Master Su is what prolongs it."

While their conversation seemed casual, a palpable tension existed between them. This tense atmosphere lingered even after they had departed.

Su Chen felt the need to feign sleep, especially with Chen Tong right beside him. Why the act? Because if he appeared awake, Chen Tong might refrain from acting on her intentions. Su Chen deliberately turned over in bed, startling Chen Tong.

She quickly scrambled out of the covers, her face flushing with embarrassment. She glared at Su Chen, remarking, "You truly are sneaky, even in sleep you're full of mischief." Perhaps the arrival of Zhao Menghan and Chen Yuxin had unnerved Chen Tong. She coldly huffed, "I'll let you off this time, but next time, sit still and behave."

After saying that, Chen Tong quickly exited through the window. However, Zhao Menghan and Chen Yuxin seemed to have been waiting outside. They both possessed formidable abilities. Added to that, a strange aura was detected, hinting that someone had sneaked into the room - and it was a woman. This immediately put Chen Yuxin and Zhao Menghan on high alert.

Chen Tong was taken aback by their presence. She had been so focused on Su Chen that she hadn't anticipated being outwitted by these two. It was an odd feeling for Chen Tong. In her past life, she was a fearsome and revered entity. Now, sneaking into a man's room and getting caught left her with an uneasy feeling. Her heart raced.

She thought, "I must leave quickly, especially if there's a chance of waking Su Chen." However, while Chen Tong wanted to leave, Zhao Menghan swiftly moved to block her way. This provided a reprieve for Su Chen, who had been feigning sleep. He could now hear a fierce altercation taking place outside the window.

This piqued Su Chen's interest. He had never seen women fighting before, especially three stunning beauties in a skirmish. The scenario seemed incredibly entertaining. Just imagining it made him think of how entertaining it would be. However, it wasn't the hair-pulling, clothes-tearing altercation he had imagined, which left Su Chen somewhat disappointed.

"Hey, what are you all doing here?" Since he hadn't witnessed the spectacle he hoped for, Su Chen decided to intervene and put an end to their fight. Otherwise, given their momentum, they might brawl till dawn. Su Chen's words seemed to have caught the three off guard, especially Chen Tong. She seemed reluctant to face Su Chen.

Seeing Su Chen awake, she no longer wished to stay. Seizing the moment while Zhao Menghan and Chen Yuxin were still in shock, she swiftly departed. Zhao Menghan wanted to give chase, but was promptly stopped by Su Chen.

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. If you all are itching for a fight, come at me, the main villain! Su Chen sat in the living room, gazing sternly at Chen Yuxin and Zhao Menghan. "Who was that just now?" Su Chen inquired coldly, evidently still irritated.

He knew deep down it was that woman, Chen Tong. Was this revenge for taking some minor advantage of her? However, neither Zhao Menghan nor Chen Yuxin knew Chen Tong, so Su Chen's question rendered them both silent, unsure of how to respond. "Young Master Su, don't worry. I'll retrieve her and give her a strict punishment," Zhao Menghan said with determination, causing Su Chen to momentarily pause. Punish Chen Tong severely?

"Hold on, there's no need. What's the point of going when you didn't even notice an intruder?" Su Chen began to reprimand them, treating Chen Yuxin and Zhao Menghan as if they were two aggrieved children. Su Chen thought to himself, even after scolding them this much, there's no reaction. Are they really this forgiving? Especially you, Chen Yuxin. You should be pointing a finger at me and accusing, "Isn't this all because of your misdeeds, bringing someone, especially a woman, into our home?" "If it weren't for me and Zhao Menghan, you might've been confined to bed for days after tonight."

Su Chen waved it off, "Alright, I don't blame you for this. Go get some rest." 

"Okay, if you need anything, just let me know!" Chen Yuxin replied, then happily returned to her room. She was genuinely elated for not being scolded by Su Chen. Meanwhile, Zhao Menghan was left behind, likely to be criticized by Su Chen. But she had received Su Chen's forgiveness, which made her pleased. However, the only thing that irked her was having taken that bath for no reason.

Contrary to Chen Yuxin, Zhao Menghan had a different perspective. Young Master Su allowed Chen Yuxin to leave but kept her back. Was there something he wanted to discuss? Regardless, she now had a chance to be alone with Young Master Su, and that was a good thing. "Young Master Su, it was my negligence," said Zhao Menghan, who was not only Su Chen's maid but also his bodyguard. This oversight was definitely her responsibility.

Pretending to be quite upset, Su Chen responded, "I'm really angry now. Can't you handle even this small matter?" Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Zhao Menghan didn't appear upset. Instead, there was a hint of joy in her eyes. "Young Master Su, you seem very agitated now, let me help you." 

Help me?

"What do you mean?" Su Chen pondered, "Pushing me to make a move? Where did she learn that from?"

Su Chen swallowed hard, resisting the inner urge. What was she thinking, making him feel the need at such a time? Over the next few days, Su Chen stayed at home. He felt too lazy to step out, enjoying his leisure. Going out would mean brainstorming on how to progress the story. Staying at home seemed more relaxing.

However, before he could truly settle in, Su Chen found himself driving out early today. With Chen Qing's influence, he had pretty much solidified deals with Yang Yuxin and Lin Qingyan's companies. And after hearing the delay in Su Chen's engagement with Lin Qingyan, Chen Qing was so excited that she couldn't sleep. She called multiple times a day to verify the news, fearing it might be false. Su Chen found this both amusing and exasperating. But this also increased his concerns.

Now, Chen Qing was pushing him to get acquainted with Yang Yuxin swiftly. Su Chen felt cornered. He didn't want to break Chen Qing's heart. So, he came up with an excellent solution. His mother liked Yang Yuxin, right? Then, he would inform Su Xian'er about this. He wanted to see how his mother would react when faced with the choice between Yang Yuxin and Su Xian'er. Surely, Chen Qing would have to make a choice. After all, he can't possibly marry both.

Of course, this was a plan for the future. Today, Su Chen intended to visit the company and perhaps indulge in some extravagant spending. He was now a legitimate spendthrift. Not only did this solidify his playboy image, but it also complicated Lin Qingyan's plans. Su Chen's destination was Yang Yuxin's company. Though the three of them had started the company together, clearly, Yang Yuxin and Lin Qingyan had disagreements leading them to establish separate branches. While technically still a singular company, the two sides behaved more like adversaries, almost wishing the other's downfall.

The moment Su Chen stepped through the company's doors, the long-silent system in his mind reactivated. 

[Congratulations, Host. The antagonist card has been activated. Your script will change for the next three days.]

Su Chen was puzzled, "What's happening? I just made a minor move, why did you automatically activate?"
