Chapter 2 – The Simp Is Forcibly Loved by the Overbearing CEO 2
“Sir, hello. You look a little unwell. Do you need any help?”
A petite woman in a kitchen staff uniform saw Shuang Yu emerge from the restroom and enthusiastically approached him with an offer of assistance.
Thanks to the original host’s memories, Shuang Yu knew this woman had taken money from Yan Qianqian to deliberately present herself to him.
Under the guise of helping the original host, she would lead him to a location specified by Yan Qianqian. Then, when the drug took full effect, Yan Qianqian would arrive with people just in time to see the original host, naked and flashing, seemingly attempting to rape the woman.
The outcome was predictable. After the photos and videos were leaked, the original host paid a huge sum in hush money and became the laughingstock of City A.
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as Shuang Yu nodded cooperatively. “I’ve been drugged. Can you take me somewhere private?”
“Oh my god, are you alright? There are too many people here. Follow me.”
The woman covered her mouth with an exaggerated expression, glanced left and right, and then took Shuang Yu’s hand to lead him away.
Having been a Ghost Messenger for three hundred years, Shuang Yu had only ever dealt with deceased souls; the souls he touched had no warmth. The woman was probably nervous, as her palm was sweaty. The sticky sensation and warmth made him frown involuntarily, a flicker of disgust crossing his eyes.
He resisted the urge to fling her hand away and let the woman pull him forward, his mind already calculating how to begin his plan of revenge and eliminate the Vicious Ghost’s resentment.
The woman led him on a winding path, avoiding surveillance cameras, and finally arrived at the place where the original host had met his downfall: a secluded greenhouse.
A triumphant smile touched her lips as she stumbled, pretending to fall.
Shuang Yu hadn’t drunk much of the wine. Although his body was reacting, his mind was still clear.
The moment the woman fell, he abruptly let go of her hand.
The woman was stunned. Her body, having lost its balance, was beyond her control. She fell straight down, her forehead tragically hitting the ground. She didn’t bleed, but she was knocked out cold.
Shuang Yu looked down at the unconscious woman with an indifferent expression. He took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweaty palm, then crouched down, rolled the woman over, and used the handkerchief to fish through her pants pocket.
From a distance, the scene looked as if he were molesting her.
He had no idea that a third person was present in the greenhouse.
A spark of interest flashed in Feng Yan’s eyes as he continued to watch the amusing scene with great curiosity.
He recognized the man—the profligate son of the nouveau riche Bai family, an arrogant and domineering fellow who acted as if his father were the richest man in the world.
Is he… planning to have public sex on my territory?
He was quite bold.
Feng Yan had no interest in the banquet and had been looking for a place to slack off, but he had stumbled upon an unexpected windfall.
Completely unaware that he was being watched, Shuang Yu grabbed the woman’s finger to unlock her phone and quickly sent a message to Yan Qianqian’s burner phone.
[Something unexpected happened. You’d better come over.]
***
In the banquet hall, Yan Qianqian was busy trying to raise Sheng Xiaoran’s favorability score.
At this point, Sheng Xiaoran hadn’t fallen in love with her yet; they were still in the ambiguous, flirtatious stage.
Since her rebirth, she had been carefully cultivating her public persona, and her career was progressing much more smoothly than in her previous life. She had ditched her useless management agency and joined Star Brilliance Entertainment, which was under Sheng Xiaoran’s umbrella.
The current Yan Qianqian was no longer an eighteenth-tier nobody. With the full backing of Star Brilliance, she had become a lead young actress.
In her past life, she had gone to great lengths, coaxing Bai Shuangyu to spend a fortune just to get an admission ticket to this star-studded charity gala.
But now, she was a completely different person. She no longer had to beg anyone and could even attend as Sheng Xiaoran’s date.
As for that good-for-nothing Bai Shuangyu, upon hearing that she would be attending, he had foolishly spent a great deal of money to get an invitation, just like in her past life.
He thought he had victory in his grasp, but little did he know, this was just her luring him into her trap!
Yan Qianqian gave Sheng Xiaoran an apologetic look.
“President Sheng, I just got a message from my mother’s caregiver…”
Sheng Xiaoran knew that her mother had a rare genetic blood disease and required a lot of money to be cared for, which was why she worked so hard taking on acting roles to support her family.
He felt a deep sympathy for this hardworking and filial girl, which was why he treated her with extra tenderness.
“Go ahead and call her back. If you need my help with anything, don’t hesitate to ask.”
Sheng Xiaoran’s gaze softened as he spoke to Yan Qianqian.
“Thank you, President Sheng.”
She gave him a grateful smile and hurried to a secluded corner, where she took out her burner Nokia phone to check the message.
The content of the message made her frown.
That idiot. She can’t even handle such a small task. She deserves to be stuck in the lowest-paying jobs for the rest of her life.
Worried that the plan might go awry, Yan Qianqian ultimately decided to go to the greenhouse herself.
***
In the greenhouse, Shuang Yu forced himself to endure his discomfort and began to undress the woman.
Even when she was completely naked, he felt no sensual thoughts.
Although his body was reacting to the drug, he had been devoid of desire for so many years that the naked form before him looked no different from a dead pig hanging on a butcher’s block.
Hidden in the shadows, Feng Yan’s thin lips curled into a slight smile as he shook his head. He had long heard that Bai Shuangyu was a wild player, but he never expected him to be so bold as to play around in a place like this.
If anyone else had seen this, they would have surely stepped in to stop it.
But Feng Yan was no good Samaritan. He had no interest in meddling in others’ affairs. He preferred watching the show to being a hero.
He had assumed that after stripping the woman, Bai Shuangyu would eagerly begin his assault.
To his surprise, after getting her naked, he didn’t touch her. Instead, he quietly sat down to rest.
They weren’t far apart. He could even see the evidence of his arousal, yet he made no move.
Feng Yan’s interest deepened. This nouveau riche had piqued his curiosity.
Click-clack, click-clack—
The sound of high heels tapping against the ground echoed.
Hearing the sound, Shuang Yu immediately pulled himself together. He slowly exhaled a hot breath, stood up, and quickly moved to a hidden corner. The greenhouse’s lush greenery became his shield.
How should I get Yan Qianqian’s attention and make her lower her guard enough to walk over here?
An idea formed in Shuang Yu’s mind. He cleared his throat, and just as the footsteps approached the greenhouse entrance, he began to let out soft moans.
The original host’s looks were only average, but he had an excellent voice. It was usually clear and pleasant, but now, due to the drug, it was slightly hoarse.
It wasn’t the fake kind of moaning one might hear in a movie; it was a soft yet heavy panting, tinged with a hint of suppression. The quality of his voice could only be described as rich—lethally sexy.
Hearing this sound, both Yan Qianqian and Feng Yan froze in unison.
Yan Qianqian had been married to Bai Shuangyu in her past life, so she was very familiar with his voice. A voice she had once found utterly repulsive now sounded strangely alluring.
Have I gone mad? How could I find Bai Shuangyu’s voice pleasant?!
Elsewhere, Feng Yan’s eyes darkened. He narrowed his eyes and licked the back of his teeth, surprised by his body’s reaction.
He had been at the top for too long. He had seen countless men and women of all kinds try to seduce him. Even the most bewitching beauties, standing naked before him, had failed to arouse his interest.
This was the first time someone had managed to stir a reaction in him with just a few pants.
