The Rich Second-Generation Villain With No Morals

Chapter 026: Plan B Begins, Wang Cheng, Are You Ready?:

“Lan Yuxi… y-you… why did you give that bastard a bottle of water?”

Watching Lan Yuxi sit down, Wang Cheng’s lips trembled.

His eyes held confusion, pain, and jealousy.

Seeing the sadness in Wang Cheng’s expression, Lan Yuxi sighed inwardly.

But she had already come up with an explanation.

“Didn’t Qi Lin just drive us back to school? Giving him a bottle of water was simply repaying a favor. Now we owe each other nothing.”

She spoke softly.

Wang Cheng’s tone was still agitated. “But… but I could have done that! If you had told me, I would have bought him one. You’re a girl—if you give him water, what will the classmates think?”

Lan Yuxi’s earlobes grew hot.

Just the thought of their classmates assuming she liked Qi Lin made her feel both embarrassed and annoyed.

But what could she do? Qi Lin had threatened her.

If she didn’t go along with it and he released the pictures of them kissing, there would be no way to explain herself.

“Why are you so stubborn? Can’t I act on your behalf?”

Seeing Wang Cheng losing his composure, Lan Yuxi grew a little impatient.

But her words worked.

Wang Cheng froze for a moment before suddenly feeling much better.

Was she saying that she represented him? Wasn’t that indirectly admitting that she was his girlfriend?

“Lan Yuxi, are you agreeing to be with me?”

He lowered his voice, his excitement barely contained.

Lan Yuxi bit her lower lip. “I never said that. But just like I told you before—if we get into the same university, I’ll be your girlfriend.”

Though he didn’t get the answer he wanted, Wang Cheng quickly forgot about what had just happened.

Their academic performance was similar. Getting into the same university wouldn’t be difficult at all.

“Hmph! That bastard Qi Lin thinks he can compete with me for Yuxi? She’s mine.”

“Less than a year… in less than a year, we’ll take the college entrance exam. Once I step into society, start my own business, and make a fortune, I’ll make sure to crush that bastard.”

A cold sneer surfaced in Wang Cheng’s heart.

Hatred often stems from jealousy.

In his past life, even though Qi Lin treated Wang Cheng well, Wang Cheng still betrayed him. Now, the reason was clear.

It was pure jealousy.

Wang Cheng resented the fact that Qi Lin was born into wealth, effortlessly obtaining everything he had always dreamed of. That hatred had taken root.

Perhaps wanting to assert his dominance over Lan Yuxi, Wang Cheng turned his head to admire her breathtakingly beautiful face.

“I sit next to Lan Yuxi, so I can turn my head anytime and see her gorgeous face. Can Qi Lin do that? No, he can only sit in the back row, struggling to catch even a glimpse of the back of her head.”

Since he couldn’t compete with Qi Lin in wealth, Wang Cheng sought comfort in other aspects.

Satisfied, he continued admiring Lan Yuxi’s stunning features.

But soon, he noticed something strange.

From his angle, he saw that Lan Yuxi’s lips were slightly swollen. Her once pure and elegant face now had an inexplicable hint of allure.

“Lan Yuxi, why are your lips swollen?”

He blurted out the question instinctively.

Swish!

The moment he said it, Lan Yuxi’s face turned bright red.

Inwardly, she cursed Qi Lin furiously.

It was all because of that bastard kissing her for so long!

He had only let go after more than ten minutes—how could her lips not be swollen?

Afraid Wang Cheng might get suspicious, Lan Yuxi quickly turned her face away and mumbled, “I ate some spicy strips at lunch. They must’ve irritated my lips.”

“Again with the spicy strips?”

Wang Cheng looked skeptical.

Just last night, his younger sister Wang Siling had swollen lips too. She also claimed it was because of spicy strips.

Was this really just a coincidence?

But fortunately, Wang Cheng was still inexperienced in romance. He had never kissed anyone, so he didn’t make the connection.

“It’s probably an allergic reaction. My sister’s lips swelled up after eating spicy strips last night too. Lan Yuxi, you should avoid them for now.”

He spoke with concern.

His words were casual, but Lan Yuxi was instantly alarmed.

“Qi Lin is clearly taking revenge on Wang Cheng, so he threatened me and stole my first kiss. Now, his sister’s lips are swollen too… Could it be…?”

A mix of anger and embarrassment surged in Lan Yuxi’s heart.

Not only had Qi Lin messed with her, but he had also harmed Wang Cheng’s sister?

Should she tell Wang Cheng about this?

For a brief moment, she wanted to.

But she quickly dismissed the thought.

If she told him that his sister had been bullied by Qi Lin and that her lips were swollen from kissing, wouldn’t that expose herself as well?

“Forget it. I won’t tell him for now. I’ll ask Wang Siling about it after the exam.”

Because she had been classmates with Wang Cheng for six years, Lan Yuxi had a good relationship with Wang Siling too.

Ding-ling-ling~

The class bell rang.

Rustle, rustle.

Homeroom teacher Mei Sanyuan started distributing the test papers.

“The exam is starting. No talking or whispering.”

As he handed out the papers, he repeated the exam rules.

…

“Plan B to sow discord has begun. Wang Cheng, are you ready?”

Qi Lin looked at the blank test paper in his hand, the corners of his mouth curving into a smirk.
