As soon as Fu Yichen stepped into the venue, he felt an invisible aura surround his body. Obviously, he was in a comfortable environment, but an unexpected burst of cold air rushed over his face, making him shudder. Fu Yichen raised his brows and saw the crowd of twos or threes in front of him. Although they were standing in the same position as before, their eyes were all looking towards a certain direction in unison. It was the kind of look that showed that they wanted to look but didn’t dare to look. Especially the women. Their eyes were obviously so eager while looking in that direction that they didn’t even notice when Fu Yichen came back into the venue.

Fu Yichen raised his eyebrows. There was no one else other than the Male Lead that could completely overwhelm the Second Male’s aura. Sure enough, is this the mysterious power of the Male Lead?

Fu Yichen followed everyone’s line of sight and saw a tall figure standing in an inconspicuous corner at the back of the venue. Even if it was the back view, that most inconspicuous corner instantly became the centre of attention of the entire venue.

There was no need to think about it, this was definitely the Male Lead, Gu Chenfeng. Not to mention how could Fu Yichen, who had met several Male Leads of the Mary Sue world, not recognize that familiar figure?

Unlike Li Hao1, even with only a back view, the other person’s meticulousness could be seen. A straight suit perfectly outlined his figure, especially when viewed from the back. His slender and straight long legs were perfectly displayed. His slightly curved elbow showed that he was currently holding a wine glass at this time.

Fu Yichen shifted his body slightly, seeing a petite lady standing opposite him. After another look, he realized that it was the Second Male’s mother. Fu Yichen realized that although at this time there were a group of women that were staring at the figure like wolves and tigers, no one dared to approach Gu Chenfeng within a five metre radius. In this way, it could be said that the Second Male’s mother was also a person with enough aura and face.

Although at this moment Fu Yichen almost couldn’t hold back his heart and lungs, he still wasn’t stupid enough to just attack instantly. Even though he knew that hiding underneath that shell of a ruthless and domineering boss was a maiden-like hamster who always pretended to be dead at first flirt. After all, in front of Gu Chenfeng’s character design, he as a playboy would have a hot face and cold ass2 if he were to approach him. Maybe Su Zhan wouldn’t even give him a look. It would be embarrassing. In the original text, the two of them had always disliked each other.

In the blink of an eye, only Su Zhan was left standing there. Fu Yichen chose a good angle and leant against the wall, looking at him blatantly. It only took half a glass of wine before a well-dressed and elegant rich daughter boldly approached the Male Lead. She probably felt that she was different from the other ‘coquettish b*tches’ who were acting like tigers and wolves.

The distance was too far, so Fu Yichen couldn’t hear what the other woman was saying. He just saw her walk over to the Male Lead cautiously, as if introducing herself in the name of a toast. This woman definitely belonged to the category of ‘Women with an outstanding temperament’. Whether it was the smile or her manners, she was very decent. However, Gu Chenfeng didn’t seem to be moved at all.

From a distance, Fu Yichen could only see the woman’s smile freeze on her face. She didn’t put down her raised wine glass, nor did she hold it up. It seemed like everyone’s eyes were on her. Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, it was especially embarrassing.

However, Gu Chenfeng made her even more embarrassed. Fu Yichen saw that the figure who had been facing away from him suddenly turned around. In the next second, Su Zhan’s delicate profile came into Fu Yichen’s sight. As always, he had exquisite facial features coupled with his slightly pursed lips and the coldness showing from the corner of his eyes. He gave off the aura of an arrogant king. Fu Yichen’s lips couldn’t help but move slightly as he looked at the other person dressed in an all-black suit. The suit was neat, the tie and white shirt were meticulous. It was the most common and simplest get-up, but it gave him an unparalleled aura and made him look unexpectedly abstinent to Fu Yichen.

Fu Yichen’s heart moved unconsciously. He had to admit, the way he looked at Su Zhan was probably not normal anymore.

There was not a single wave on Su Zhan’s face as he turned around with a blank expression. Then as if he didn’t see the other person at all, he turned a blind eye to his surroundings and left indifferently. As he left, his eyes didn’t fall on that girl from the beginning to the end.

The girl was left alone holding a glass of wine in full view of the crowd. She held her self-esteem as a rich daughter after offering herself to others, only to be trampled on. It was like he didn’t see her at all. What’s more terrible was that there were so many pairs of eyes watching her. The girl’s body swayed as she almost fainted. She then ran away crying while covering her face, probably getting a shadow of a lifetime in her heart.

The corners of Fu Yichen’s mouth twitched and he thought that this person’s character design was really great. He had to admit that Su Zhan’s acting skills were indeed amazing. If he didn’t know that there was someone else in that shell, he really wouldn’t be able to tell. Whether it was body movements or subtle facial expressions, he performed all of them very well. It looked completely natural. When he had turned around just now, obviously no words were said, nor were there any facial expressions, but he still showed the domineering aura of a heavenly king which made people look up to him unconsciously. Chasing after him, but not daring to get any closer. At this moment, he wasn’t Su Zhan but the king of a business empire.

Fu Yichen knew that the other person was a good actor, from his disdain at the beginning to his admiration after watching him privately. He had never seen Su Zhan’s performance so closely like now. He had to admit, aside from personal feelings, the rest of his administration was all based on Su Zhan’s acting skills. These skills alone were enough for Fu Yichen to appreciate him.

However, seeing Su Zhan turn and walk out of the venue, Fu Yichen suddenly became worried. At this moment, his phone rang.

“Li-shao, it’s done.” After hearing this, Fu Yichen unconsciously raised the corners of his lips. They were very efficient.

Not to mention that the cruise ship was owned by the Second Male’s family, his room was absolutely grand and luxurious even only by the virtue of his Second Male status. As for the Male Lead, the ‘business emperor’, it goes without saying that he must be treated the same. It was simply a coincidence that the rooms of the two of them were next to each other.

Because of this, the Female Lead who was originally supposed to be sent to the Second Male’s room, was sent to the Male Lead’s room. Let’s not talk about how sloppy the security of this luxury cruise ship was, just how were they able to enter the ‘grand luxury suite’ so easily? Fortunately, Fu Yichen had gotten used to the plot holes that could normally be seen everywhere in the Mary Sue world.

In the original plot, the two men hired by the Female Side Character remembered the wrong room number because of how nervous they were and thus they sent her to the wrong bed. So Fu Yichen simply swapped the room numbers of the two rooms. According to the original plot, they would send the person to the room according to the wrong room number. In this way, wouldn’t they just send the Female Lead to Fu Yichen’s room?

Although according to the sh*tty nature of the plot, the Male and Female Leads would definitely meet by coincidence later. But at the very least, it can prevent them from having s*x when they meet for the first time. Of course, Fu Yichen believed in Su Zhan’s character. But he didn’t believe in the power of the plot that was becoming more and more strange.

So until he entered his bedroom, Fu Yichen had thought so firmly. Although he hadn’t overestimated the IQ of the author, he definitely underestimated the power of the plot. As the system said, the system became weaker and the plot became stronger for no reason.

The first thing Fu Yichen did when he returned to his room was to go straight to his bed. But to his surprise, the Female Lead wasn’t lying on his bed as he expected.

Fu Yichen was taken aback. His first reaction was that he came back early. But he quickly overturned this possibility because he had watched Su Zhan go upstairs. Among other things, Su Zhan knew the plot. According to the clues from the previous worlds, he was following the plot line. Although Fu Yichen didn’t know what his purpose was, under such circumstances, it was impossible for him to go back early.

Fu Yichen realized the problem. The plot stated that the Female Lead was sent to the Male Lead’s bed by accident. That is to say, no matter if he changed the room number or not, the Female Lead would still be sent to Su Zhan. It was at this time that Fu Yichen truly realized the meaning of the system’s words. The power of the plot was indeed much stronger.

But because of this, Fu Yichen became anxious. Would the plot force Su Zhan to do something with the Female Lead? Thinking of this, Fu Yichen couldn’t sit still. After thinking about it, Fu Yichen finally got up and walked out. He then knocked on Su Zhan’s door.

The moment the door opened, Fu Yichen’s eyes met with a very displeased face. Especially when the other person saw Fu Yichen leaning against the door frame, the displeasure on his face became even more obvious. Fu Yichen was sure that when the other person saw him, for a moment a flash of doubt flickered in his eyes. It was soon replaced by coldness. As always, he was able to conceal his emotions very well and was fully integrated into the character.

Of course, Su Zhan would be puzzled. There was no such scene in the original plot at all. A strange voice seemed to be still echoing in his mind, “From now on, you are Gu Chenfeng. Please follow Gu Chenfeng’s plot trajectory to the end… you are Gu Chenfeng…”. He didn’t know who the hell it was. He didn’t know why he encountered such an abnormal thing. Additionally, this thing was such a brain-dead Mary Sue novel.

Su Zhan had acted in multiple Mary Sue dramas before, but he had never seen such a stupid and unreasonable Mary Sue as this one. He had a headache for a long time before accepting that this was his new reality. After all, this was the only way for him to go back to reality. But the plot had just begun, why was it suddenly so different from the original plot that appeared in his mind?

Therefore, Su Zhan decided to wait and see what will happen before he could find out the specific situation, “Is there anything?”

His voice was cold, but it was unexpectedly pleasant sounding. Well it was Su Zhan’s voice. It could be seen that he really didn’t want to see Fu Yichen at the moment.

After learning that the Male Lead was Su Zhan himself, it was the first time that Fu Yichen was able to face him at such a close distance without any purpose. Undoubtedly, Fu Yichen was currently in a happy mood. But at the same time, it also felt painful as the other party didn’t know him at all. Not only that, he didn’t even have the memory of the previous worlds. This made his liver ache in pain.

Fu Yichen stood up straight, removing the casual manner of a rich second-generation ancestor. It was best for him to make a good impression on the other person when meeting for the first time. But the words that he said inexplicably made him sound like a hooligan. Fu Yichen was also helpless about this.

“Can I… borrow Mr. Gu’s bathroom? Mine is broken.” Fu Yichen knew that this was a very bad excuse. But this was the only thing he had in mind at the moment. After all, his purpose was to just simply to see whether the Female Lead was in this room or not. If she was, Su Zhan would definitely not let him in. What he never expected was that the other person’s reaction would be so simple and rude.

Bathroom out of order? Su Zhan just thought that there was something wrong with this person’s brain. This whole cruise ship belonged to his family, why was he asking him to lend him his bathroom? Besides, what does he want to do? Casually borrowing someone else’s bathroom in the middle of the night like this. Those who don’t know what he wants would think that he was trying to imply something! Sure enough, this person wasn’t a good thing.

[The favorability of the Male Lead towards the Second Male -2.]

With a ‘bang’, the door was slammed shut without a reply. At that moment, Fu Yichen felt embarrassment spread all over his body as he rubbed his temples painfully. He must have been out of his mind previously. How did he come up with such a mentally retarded excuse? Well, Fu Yichen swore that the purpose of him asking that sentence was really just to test the other person. He didn’t really want to borrow his bathroom or anything else.

However, Su Zhan who had opened the door had taken off his coat and was only wearing a white shirt just now. His tie was ripped off and two buttons on his neckline were unbuttoned. Fu Yichen caught a glimpse of his cuffs stained with water and was concerned about that matter. He could almost conclude with certainty that the Female Lead was in his room at this moment.

So Fu Yichen gritted his teeth and cheekily knocked on the door again. In fact, Fu Yichen was also a man with strong self-esteem. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so ignorant of the rules and stick to his so-called principles even after being in the entertainment circle for so many years. But his actions and feelings weren’t all an act. Although everything was done in order to complete his task and return to reality, the most important thing was that the other person in the room at this moment was Su Zhan, that’s why he was willing to do it.

“What’s the matter?” Su Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly. This domineering president was obviously impatient.

“Is the daughter of the Zhu family with you?” Fu Yichen went straight to the point and continued under the changed expression of the other party, “She’s mine. You can’t touch her.” Although Fu Yichen was talking about the Female Lead, his eyes were staring straight into Su Zhan’s eyes. What was revealed in those eyes was not the look a love rival should have.

There was not much difference in their heights, they were both tall men with really long legs. But their temperaments were completely different. Fu Yichen was obviously more casual and lazy and his body looked stronger and more powerful. Su Zhan’s body looked rigorous and indifferent, a lot more slender than Fu Yichen with a frosty and cold face, revealing abstinence.

Su Zhan was unexpectedly caught by this look. This person’s appearance and figure were definitely outstanding. Even in the entertainment industry, he couldn’t find such a man that could almost completely fit his aesthetics. But the key point was that this second-generation ancestor’s character design was the type that he hated the most. Besides, Su Zhan didn’t have any good feelings towards his behaviour just now. Not to mention that Su Zhan knew that the other person was just a fake novel character.

But he had to admit, being stared at by such a pair of eyes made him feel inexplicably hot. He had a strange feeling that the other person’s eyes didn’t seem to be looking at Gu Chenfeng. But Su Zhan was a rational person. His self-control was also top-notch. Since he needed to go through the plot, the Female Lead must stay in his room and not leave for tonight.

Therefore, Su Zhan’s eyes and face darkened immediately, “Li Hao, please pay attention to your words and deeds.” A sneer of disdain flashed on his face. Without hiding the look in his eyes, he said, “Not everyone is like you. Having such a vulgar and boring hobby.”

The corners of Fu Yichen’s mouth twitched. Where was the cutie who pretended to be dead and didn’t dare to move as soon as he approached? Such poisonous words? He himself was also disappointed in this scumbag character design.
