Seduced the Obsessive NPC and Ran - Chapter 55

Chapter 55

Yan Jinge had a few drinks while having dinner with Director Xu and the others that evening. Alcohol always made him sleepier than usual, and it didn’t help that Song Zhengjun was making him watch such a slow-paced art film.

Before long, Yan Jinge’s eyes drifted shut, and he fell into a deep sleep.

A while later, the lightly sleeping Yan Jinge felt a nudge on his arm. Sensing the person beside him moving, he blearily opened his eyes and sat up, rubbing his stiff neck. “What’s wrong?”

Song Zhengjun’s lips twitched. “…The movie’s over.”

“Mm.”

Yan Jinge gave a low mumble, scooted further down into the bed, and turned his back to Song Zhengjun. “Finally. Let’s get some sleep.”

Song Zhengjun: “…”

Dammit.

He was absolutely fuming!

He had specifically sought out advice from others to plan all of this.

According to the plan, Song Zhengjun was supposed to play an art film first to set the mood. As they watched the movie quietly together, the emotions of the characters on screen would naturally transition into their own feelings. They would lock eyes, share an irresistible kiss, the atmosphere would heat up, and things would progress further. Even the props he had prepared would have come into play!

But he never expected that Yan Jinge would just fall asleep.

This wasn’t how it was supposed to go!!!

Song Zhengjun seethed in silent, helpless rage.

But what could he do if his lover wanted to sleep?

He could only wait for another suitable opportunity.

Feeling somewhat unsatisfied, Song Zhengjun pulled Yan Jinge into his arms and gave him a sharp, fierce bite on the lips before finally settling down to sleep.

…

The owner of the video Song Zhengjun had contacted was very efficient. Just as they had been quick and decisive when giving the video to Yi Haotian’s assistant, they created a burner account the very night they received the money. They posted the video directly and, acting like a spectator looking for trouble, proactively tagged several big influencers who had been following the situation.

Their ability to muddy the waters was top-tier.

There were plenty of night owls on the internet. As soon as they saw the video and realized what it was, they became instantly energized. They rolled up their sleeves and began working overtime late into the night to edit clips and organize the timeline of the entire scandal.

In an instant, Weibo descended into a frenzy.

“I thought this idol was actually filming a comedy skit, but I didn’t expect such a plot twist. In the original version of the ‘whitewashing’ video edited by the idol, the before and after actually looked like this-”

“The Yi Haotian ‘Sea King’ incident has been completely overturned! The person who filmed the original video was actually just a passerby! The video was purchased by his assistant.”

“Holy crap, is this for real? I’m stunned.”

“Is this ever going to end? I’m getting sick of seeing the name Yi Haotian.”

“Do you have to post this in the middle of the night? Now nobody can sleep. I was just about to fix my sleep schedule, but now I’m wide awake! [ReallySmellsGood.jpg]”

“[EatingPopcorn.jpg] I said a long time ago that Yi Haotian wasn’t as simple as he looked and that videos can be faked. Back then, so many of his fans came to my Weibo to attack me. How does it feel to get slapped in the face now? Hahahaha.”

“You love to see it!”

“So he really is a Sea King? He’s actually involved with so many people. That’s kind of disgusting…”

“Can you stop slandering my Gege? If this video is fake, then why didn’t the people in the video come out to clarify things back then? So the video must be real!”

“Exactly. Where did all these anti-fans come from, constantly framing my brother?”

“Do you think the assistant by his side is an idiot? If the assistant bought the video, why wouldn’t they make sure the person deleted it? They would have signed a non-disclosure agreement too; it would be impossible for it to leak! This is all a conspiracy, think about it.”

“The person who posted the video is a total moron. [ProfilePictureAsAFuneralPhoto.jpg]. If you keep slandering my brother, you can spiral right up to heaven and find your mother in the underworld.”

Yi Haotian’s manager hadn’t slept either.

He happened to stumble upon the video and immediately frowned. He tried to contact Yi Haotian, but the man was unreachable. He turned his fury on the assistant instead, unleashing a torrent of abuse: “What happened? You bought a video and didn’t even know how to clean up the loose ends?”

The assistant argued back, “That’s not it! I watched that person delete the video right then and there! I thought it was settled… It looks like that person kept a backup!”

The manager sucked in a sharp breath. “Get your ass down to the office and give me that person’s contact information.”

Some people were destined for a sleepless night.

The next day, around ten in the morning.

At the Desa Hotel.

Yi Haotian woke up in a soft, large bed.

President Li had returned the previous night and asked to meet him immediately. Yi Haotian had canceled a livestream to make the appointment. After a short chat, they had gotten straight to the point.

Although the aftermath was a bit… painful…

Yi Haotian felt that this kind of sacrifice was worth it.

At the very least, he would never have to act according to Yan Jinge’s whims again.

He was now on equal footing with Yan Jinge.

He finally didn’t have to fear being blacklisted by his manager over trivial matters anymore. He could hold his head high and move on with his life.

At that thought, the corners of Yi Haotian’s mouth curled up. However, as his vision focused and he saw the woman weighing nearly 200 pounds lying on the bed, he couldn’t help but knit his brows.

Fat pig.

Even though the woman had told him during their chat last night that she was only this heavy because of hormone treatments for an illness, Yi Haotian didn’t care.
-If you really want to lose weight, you can do it through exercise and dieting.

President Li was definitely just using that as an excuse for her own laziness.

Yi Haotian thought coldly to himself. He shifted his arm slightly, only to feel a sharp pang of pain-the woman’s head had been resting on his arm for so long that it had long since gone numb.

As he cursed inwardly, his mind somehow drifted to Yan Jinge’s sugar daddy.

Why did Yan Jinge get to meet such a high-quality benefactor?

With Song Zhengjun’s looks, he could definitely have carved out a place for himself in the entertainment industry. Even a one-night stand would have been worth it… not to mention President Song’s achievements and how much he doted on Yan Jinge…

Sigh, if only Song Zhengjun had taken an interest in him instead.

Of course, Yi Haotian was only dreaming.

The priority right now was to keep President Li steady.

Yi Haotian had a decent grasp of his situation. He knew they had just met, and even if she liked his face, he wasn’t exactly irreplaceable to her yet. He couldn’t afford to upset his benefactor so early. Instead of waking her, he moved stealthily, reaching out to grab his phone.

To serve President Li better, he had specifically put it on silent mode.

The moment he turned the screen on, Yi Haotian frowned.

-Why were there so many missed calls and text messages?

Could something have happened?

No, that was impossible.

Before meeting President Li, he had taken a long, circuitous route to shake off any tailing paparazzi. This hotel was one she frequented; their privacy measures were top-notch and they would never leak information.

Yi Haotian glanced at the woman beside him again.

He couldn’t make a call while lying in President Li’s bed, so he opened his messages first. He found his manager cursing him out, telling him to check Weibo immediately, while his assistant was begging him to return to the company at once.

Yi Haotian hurriedly opened the app.

The software lagged for a second, and then a sea of red notification numbers flooded his vision. As a trending idol, he usually received many reposts and tags, but this amount… it seemed a bit too much.

Anxious and startled, Yi Haotian quickly pieced together what had happened.

If it had been any day before today, Yi Haotian might have been terrified. He would have lashed out at his assistant for being incompetent and failing to ensure the video was deleted, or he would have rushed to apologize to his manager to find a solution.

But now, a strange sense of calm settled over him.

So what if this happened?

He had someone to settle everything for him.

“Mmh…”

With a sleepy mumble, the woman in front of him happened to wake up with a frown. The timing was perfect, as if tailored just for him!

Though Yi Haotian disliked the woman’s appearance, the thought that she was a rich woman who was about to work hard on his behalf made him suppress his internal revulsion. He called out softly, “Juan’er, you’re awake? Are you hungry? Do you want me to order something for you to eat?”

President Li, addressed as Juan’er, looked at the handsome man before her, her face flushing a deep crimson.

She really was lucky.

***

Yan Jinge felt a bit of difficulty breathing when he woke up.

Opening his eyes, he realized that Song Zhengjun’s arm and one of his legs were pinned over him. The man was sleeping soundly.

Yan Jinge: “…”

So heavy.

Yan Jinge reached out and shoved Song Zhengjun’s arm aside, then kicked his leg off. When he got up to wash his face and put his toothbrush in his mouth, he suddenly felt a sting on his lip. Startled, he looked into the mirror.

There was a row of faint teeth marks on his lip.

…It didn’t take a genius to know who was responsible.

Yan Jinge: “…”

Why was he launching sneak attacks in the middle of the night while he was sleeping?

Yan Jinge gave a low huff and continued brushing his teeth.

A moment later, a bedheaded, bleary-eyed Song Zhengjun walked in to wash up as well. The two stood side by side, one tall and one slightly shorter, looking incredibly harmonious.

Yan Jinge finished up quickly. He turned around and suddenly launched a sneak attack of his own, lunging forward with his mouth wide open to take a bite out of Song Zhengjun’s face!

Song Zhengjun: “!!!”

Song Zhengjun froze with his toothbrush in hand, turning to look at Yan Jinge in shock.

A small patch of his face had turned red, and the teeth marks right in the center were even clearer than the ones on Yan Jinge’s lip.

Seeing Song Zhengjun’s eyes widen slightly in disbelief, Yan Jinge burst out laughing. As if afraid of retaliation, he said, “I’m going down to eat first,” before backing away and making a run for it.

Song Zhengjun stood alone in the bathroom, still frozen in his previous posture.

He raised his free hand and touched his face. His expression remained neutral, but when his fingertips brushed against the indentation, his gaze faltered. After a moment, a tender smile suddenly bloomed on his face, and even his usually dark and piercing eyes seemed tinged with the sweetness of flowers.

Consequently, when the company employees arrived at work that day, they saw their stern, perpetually cold Chairman Song deigning to ride the employee elevator.

And…

He was sporting a massive bite mark on his face.

Burp.
