Villain: My Thoughts Are Being Overheard by the Heroines!

Chapter 8: Lin Zhixin’s Rebellious Mindset!:

Clenching her delicate fists, Liu Ruoyun glanced at the scowling Gu Jinnian and spoke helplessly, “You go out first. I’ll think of a solution.”

Hearing that, Gu Jinnian’s mouth twitched again.

Seriously, what was this woman doing now?

Just like that, she told him to leave? The matter wasn’t even resolved yet!

Aunt, your dear nephew begs you, stop adding scenes for yourself, alright? You’re making this really hard for me!

Although he was complaining inside, there was nothing he could do. Since she had told him to leave, of course he couldn’t just stay in the office.

“Then, Aunt, I’ll head out first,” he said, with a confused look on his face, then turned and left.

As soon as he stepped out the door, Liu Ruoyun heard Jinnian’s inner voice again:

[Liu Ruoyun, oh Liu Ruoyun, can you stop giving yourself extra scenes already? Why don’t you ever follow the script?]

[Forget it, the plotline’s not completely broken anyway. Ye Chen’s still bound to show up sooner or later.]

[Tsk! But honestly, this turned out pretty well. Not only did I not get scolded or beaten, I might even avoid being locked up. This is too damn comfortable!]

[That’s a wrap! Haha~ burp!]

Just like that, Gu Jinnian walked out of the office with a grin on his face.

As he took the elevator downstairs, several female employees saw him leave the CEO’s office smiling and couldn’t help whispering among themselves.

“This is the first time I’ve seen him come out of the CEO’s office with a smile.”

“That can’t be right. I heard he kidnapped the Lin family’s granddaughter today. There’s no way the CEO would let him off so easily.”

“Sigh, the CEO really spoils him more and more. If this keeps up, something bad’s going to happen.”

“Shh, keep it down. Don’t let the CEO hear you.”

…

Top floor of the Liu Group.

After Gu Jinnian left, Liu Ruoyun leaned over her desk in a daze. She had completely put aside her work.

Which was understandable.

After all… she really had heard Gu Jinnian’s inner voice.

Something so unbelievable and strange had actually happened…

It was hard to accept.

After a long while, Liu Ruoyun finally came back to her senses. She extended her fair hand and picked up the phone.

She quickly dialed.

Once the call connected, her usual demeanor returned—expression cold and voice stern:

“Qianxue, investigate Liu Qingshan and the other company elders. Find out if they’re secretly plotting anything.”

“Oh, and check if there’s anyone named Ye Chen in the Lin family.”

The voice on the other end replied, “Yes.”

After hanging up, Liu Ruoyun still couldn’t calm down.

Her brows were slightly furrowed.

At this moment, she didn’t even feel like doing the work she usually loved most.

When she closed her eyes, all she could see was Gu Jinnian’s face.

“What the hell is that little bastard up to?”

“Sigh, Jinnian seems to know a lot… As his aunt, I really don’t know him well enough.”

“And… it seems like Jinnian… might have those kinds of feelings for me?”

Just thinking of that made a blush flash across Liu Ruoyun’s face. She quickly shook her head hard, forcing herself to stop imagining things.

Then she forced herself to calm down and turned back to work.

…

Lin Family.

Inside a luxury villa, in the bedroom.

Lin Zhixin, wearing pink pajamas, lay on her stomach on the bed, playfully kicking her bare feet.

She stared blankly at the floor, lost in thought.

No one knew what she was thinking—one moment she looked angry, the next she had a faint smile.

She was quite unpredictable.

Right now, the only person capable of throwing the proud Lin Zhixin into such emotional chaos was likely Gu Jinnian.

Honestly, that bastard’s inner thoughts had seriously hurt her pride.

From what she heard in his thoughts, it was clear—he didn’t like her.

But that raised a question. If he didn’t like her, then why did he spend the last three years doing everything he could to win her over?

Lin Zhixin wasn’t unfamiliar with the term “simp.”

It was a pathetic word.

And Gu Jinnian…

He had truly taken it to the extreme over those three years.

Sending flowers, bringing meals, saying good morning no matter the weather…

But now…

Turns out, he had just been pretending.

Just thinking about Gu Jinnian’s thoughts made Lin Zhixin’s anger flare up again.

Still, although she was angry, what she felt more was curiosity.

If what Gu Jinnian was thinking was true, then this world they lived in must really be a novel.

But if that was the case, then why did Gu Jinnian care so much about the plotline?

Sigh, it was all so confusing.

She couldn’t make sense of it.

But there was one thing Lin Zhixin understood clearly.

Gu Jinnian cared a lot about how the plot developed.

Fine then!

You don’t like me, right?

No problem! But don’t think you’ll get to go through the plotline smoothly either!

Once a rebellious mindset is formed, there’s no getting rid of it.

How proud was Lin Zhixin?

She had always been adored and chased by many.

But never had a man like Gu Jinnian faked his feelings for her. Pretended to like her.

She absolutely could not allow that.

Don’t like me?

Fine!

Then I’ll make sure you fall for me!

Lin Zhixin clenched her little pink fists and swung them angrily at the air, swearing in her heart.

After calming down, she suddenly remembered the name Ye Chen.

From Gu Jinnian’s inner thoughts, she had learned that this guy was supposedly the protagonist of this world.

Just thinking about that guy made Lin Zhixin shiver.

He was way too ugly, wasn’t he?

He wasn’t even half as handsome as Gu Jinnian…

And it seemed like Ye Chen’s character was shady, too?

No way. She had to stay far away from that guy in the future!

That’s what Lin Zhixin decided in her heart.

At the same time—

In Tongyun City, at the Gu family’s private villa.

Gu Jinnian got out of the car and walked into the house.

As soon as he opened the door, a young girl in a maid outfit with twin ponytails walked over.

“Young Master, you’re back.”

Gu Jinnian lit a cigarette and didn’t respond until the smoke rose around him. “Mm.”

The twin-tailed girl before him was named Qianxue.

She had grown up in the Lin family and was later sent by Liu Ruoyun to take care of Jinnian’s daily life.

But on the surface, she was there to serve him.

In truth, she was an informant Liu Ruoyun had planted, afraid that Jinnian would cause trouble if left alone.

See?

It was Qianxue who reported the kidnapping incident.

Otherwise, how would Liu Ruoyun have known?

“Young Master, let me take off your shoes so you can rest.”

As she spoke, Qianxue knelt down beside Gu Jinnian and carefully helped him remove his shoes.

Gu Jinnian didn’t say a word the entire time.

He just stared at her, lost in thought.

This woman—don’t be fooled by her gentle, obedient appearance.

In reality, she was a cold, ruthless expert who wouldn’t hesitate to kill.

If you got tricked by her cute looks, your end would be miserable.

Since she was a child, Qianxue had been sent overseas by Liu Ruoyun, trained through five years of life-and-death trials, and had mastered countless assassination skills.

She was terrifying to the core—

And one of Liu Ruoyun’s most trusted people.
