The Protagonist is Confused

Seeing Tang Ao's frustrated and helpless expression, Lin Ruoxue couldn't help but feel delighted inside.

So, you're afraid of Ye Chen.

Ye Chen, whose thunder had been stolen, walked over with a dark face, stepping between Tang Ao and Lin Ruoxue. "Tang, Ruoxue doesn't like you. Stop wasting your time!"

He gave Lin Ruoxue a reassuring look. "To tell you the truth, Ruoxue and I are already engaged. We are the true love. As for you, get lost!"

In Ye Chen's mind, Lin Ruoxue definitely didn't like Tang Ao and was troubled by his persistence. By becoming Lin Ruoxue's shield, he could provide a strong excuse for her to reject Tang Ao, thereby bringing them closer together.

As the Dragon King returning with strength, Lin Pharmaceuticals, under Lin Ruoxue's control, was his first step in rising again in the Dragon Nation!

Using Lin Pharmaceuticals as a stepping stone, he would grow stronger and achieve great success once more in the Dragon Nation!

As for Lin Ruoxue~

Such a stunning beauty would undoubtedly be included in his harem!

The colder and more aloof she was, the stronger Ye Chen's desire to conquer her became. He was determined to win her over!

[Finally! The plot is back on track! Ye Chen, I love you! To think you could pull the plot back together like this, you truly are the protagonist!]

Tang Ao, suppressing his inner excitement, put on a haughty and arrogant demeanor.

"You? Who do you think you are to be engaged to me?"

Seeing the cold and icy aura emanating from Lin Ruoxue, Tang Ao was dumbfounded.

What the hell?

[Aren't those supposed to be my lines? How did they come out of Lin Ruoxue's mouth?]

[Director! This script is wrong!]

Seeing Tang Ao's frustration, Lin Ruoxue felt even happier inside.

Daring to say she was lovesick, broken, and a foolish woman, if he wanted to cooperate with Ye Chen to show off, she would just do the opposite today!

Moreover...

Ye Chen not only exuded a rogue aura but also intended to include her in his harem. The thought of Ye Chen made Lin Ruoxue feel nauseous!

On the other hand, looking at Tang Ao now, she no longer felt that same disgust.

Ye Chen clenched his fists, his nails almost digging into his flesh.

"President Lin!" Ye Chen said in a low voice. "I'm Ye Chen, your bodyguard. Trust me, I can solve the problem of Tang Ao once and for all!"

[Is this Ye Chen an idiot? I'm still standing right here. Can't he talk out of my earshot?]

[Forget it, for the sake of the plot, I'll pretend I didn't hear anything. Lin Ruoxue, you stupid woman, you better go along with it and agree. If you don't, the plot can't move forward!]

"Tang Ao has never been my problem!" Lin Ruoxue's words were shocking. "Let me tell you all, the reason I haven't accepted him is because I was testing his sincerity. Now, I officially announce, I accept Tang Ao's proposal. From now on, I am Tang Ao's girlfriend!"

Lin Ruoxue's face was flushed, no longer having the appearance of an icy beauty.

"Lin Ruoxue!"

Ye Chen was about to explode with anger. If they weren't in the Dragon Nation, he would have killed Tang Ao on the spot!

As the Dragon King, he had never suffered such humiliation!

"Where did this delusional man come from? Doesn't he realize he's competing with Young Master Tang?"

"Exactly! Young Master Tang has the looks and the money. He completely outshines this poor guy. Where did he get the courage to say such things?"

Ye Chen's fierce gaze made Tang Ao shudder.

[It's over, Lin Ruoxue has gone crazy. Ye Chen will hold a grudge against me. I might not survive the next episode!]

[Oh no, this is a disaster!]

Hearing Tang Ao's thoughts, Lin Ruoxue couldn't help but chuckle at his predicament.

Her laughter stunned everyone who knew her.

"Oh my god, did you see that? President Lin smiled! She smiled at Young Master Tang!"

"It's been three years, and President Lin hasn't smiled once. Only Young Master Tang can make her smile like that!"

"This is true love! They should get married right here and now!"

Lin Ruoxue's smile left Tang Ao dazed.

Her smile was beautiful, but Tang Ao couldn't appreciate it.

His ears were filled with the sound of cracking bones, each crack felt like a heavy hammer hitting his heart.

Sensing Tang Ao's fear, and remembering how he had just helped her with the fake patient, Lin Ruoxue stepped in front of Tang Ao, facing the furious Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, if you dare lay a finger on Tang Ao, I guarantee you will regret it for the rest of your life!"

[Oh my god! Lin Ruoxue has really gone mad. This is the Dragon King we're talking about, your future husband! Are you trying to get me killed?]

[No, I can't let Lin Ruoxue mess things up any further. The plot must return to normal!]

With this thought, Tang Ao's eyes lit up, and he put on a look of great excitement: "Really? Ruoxue, I never thought you'd love me so much. How about this, let's prove our love with a French kiss right here in front of everyone!"

Seeing Lin Ruoxue's slightly open mouth and shocked expression, Tang Ao felt a surge of satisfaction:

[There's no way Lin Ruoxue likes me. She's like an eternal ice block. Whoever marries her will be miserable. Having a woman like her as a girlfriend would bring disaster!]

[I don't know what Ye Chen did to upset Lin Ruoxue, but a French kiss will definitely disgust her. Faced with such an unreasonable request from me, Lin Ruoxue will surely agree to Ye Chen being her shield!]

[This way, the plot can continue smoothly. Perfect! I'm a genius!]

Ye Chen, suppressing his urge to kill Tang Ao, sincerely said: "Ruoxue, there's no need to be angry with me anymore. I was wrong yesterday, and I promise in front of everyone that I will never make you angry again!"

[See, this is the protagonist! So dedicated and magnanimous! Lin Ruoxue, you can't be foolish anymore. Angering the protagonist won't end well!]

As Tang Ao thought this, he puckered his lips and even stuck out his tongue, trying to disgust Lin Ruoxue.

What he didn't know was that every thought in his mind was heard by Lin Ruoxue.

At this moment, Lin Ruoxue's face was indeed turning blue and white, clearly furious and humiliated!

Just when Ye Chen and Tang Ao thought Lin Ruoxue would logically accept Ye Chen's offer and kick Tang Ao away, Lin Ruoxue did something that shocked everyone.
