The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

"Pick up a friend? Do you think I'd believe that?"

Su Shiyu couldn't bring herself to say a harsh word to Ye Linyuan, but when it came to her contractual husband, she displayed the aloof and domineering aura of a female CEO.

"I know all your shady friends. Tell me, who are you here to pick up? You're not going to tell me you're here to pick up A-Yuan, are you?!"

"Yes...yes..."

Zhao Jinyan instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He had no idea who he was supposed to pick up, and he couldn't very well just go along with Su Shiyu's suggestion and pick up this man in front of him...

Seeing Zhao Jinyan's embarrassed look, Su Shiyu sneered, her tone extremely cold.

"So, you're not here to pick up your friend, you're just following me! Zhao Jinyan, who do you think you are, daring to follow me?!"

"No, Shiyu, I didn't, I didn't, I..."

Seeing Su Shiyu's face grow increasingly gloomy, Zhao Jinyan knew that Su Shiyu had seen through him, so he quickly changed his tune.

"Shiyu, I was just worried about you. You know today is our wedding anniversary, and you said you had to work overtime at the company, so I planned to bring you some food. But as soon as I got to the company, I saw your car driving away, so I..."

"So you followed me here?"

Su Shiyu almost laughed out of anger. In her eyes, Zhao Jinyan was nothing but a petty person who took advantage of her kindness. How dare he still have such wishful thinking about her?

If it weren't for A Yuan being here, she would have shown Zhao Jinyan today whether she, the president of the Su Group, had a good temper or not!

The mere thought of Ye Linyuan caused Su Shiyu's confidence to vanish instantly. She couldn't help but look at Ye Linyuan nervously, cautiously attempting to explain...

"Ah Yuan, it's not what you think, it's about him and me..."

Before Su Shiyu could finish speaking, Ye Linyuan glanced at Zhao Jinyan, who bore a slight resemblance to him, gave Su Shiyu a look that said "I believe you," and then interrupted her.

"I understand, I understand everything."

Upon hearing this, Su Shiyu instantly quieted down. Her beautiful, watery eyes were overflowing with love as she looked at Ye Linyuan. She tightened her grip on Ye Linyuan's arms, as if she wanted their flesh and blood to completely merge together.

Ah Yuan, you're so wonderful, I love you the most...

Ignoring Su Shiyu, who would have tried to force herself on him if the location hadn't been wrong, Ye Linyuan had already heard all this. If he was still certain, then he had truly wasted his time traveling.

This scene is the classic "female lead picking up her white moonlight" plot from those gender-swapped angst novels from my past life, where it's fun to abuse your husband for a while, but then you have to go through a hellish chase to win him back." And this Zhao Jinyan can basically be identified as this type of turtle male lead.

Among all the random female-oriented gender-swap angst novels I read in my past life, the most famous plot is that a cold female CEO abandons her contractual husband who has always silently loved her on her birthday or wedding anniversary, and picks up her white moonlight at the airport when she returns from abroad.

Then the so-called "white moonlight" makes various reasons to explain why he had to leave back then, and that he only wants to see her now that he has returned to China.

Just then, the male protagonist, who was acting as the husband in a contractual relationship, happened to arrive at the airport and witnessed this scene. Because he deeply loved the aloof female CEO and had never given up, he could only suppress his obvious jealousy and pretend nothing was wrong as he left dejectedly...

Afterwards, the so-called "white moonlight" used various manipulative tactics to seduce the aloof female CEO for his own purposes, sowing discord between the couple. He would occasionally ask the aloof female CEO to come out and keep him company, and the two of them would engage in various ambiguous relationships without explanation. The manipulative "white moonlight" would even pretend to have some incurable disease, such as a disease that would kill him if he didn't marry the aloof female CEO.

In the end, the aloof female CEO, for the sake of her "white moonlight" (her first love), ruthlessly divorced her contractual husband and turned to him.

Next comes the climax!

At this point, the aloof female CEO realizes that her feelings for her "white moonlight" were just childhood obsessions, and that she truly loves her contractual husband. Thus begins her tumultuous journey of pursuing him relentlessly...

As for the villainous second male lead who is the green tea bitch's white moonlight at this point, he is naturally part of the male and female leads' play of him running away and her chasing, and him having no way to escape.

Tsk, life and death are never truly in our own hands anymore...

But that was the disgusting, scheming second male lead's white moonlight in a gender-swapped angst novel, not me!

I'm not some weak, manipulative second male lead in a gender-swap angst novel who only pretends to be sick and weak and only whines. I'm a man with a system!

Even without the system, I would never pretend to be weak like those manipulative second male leads!

After all, green tea and such is just too disgusting!

Besides, I've never wasted my talent!

Hmph, if you don't provoke me, I won't bother dealing with you. But if you really dare to provoke me, then I'll let you know how powerful the green tea male second lead with a golden finger... ptooey, I mean the white moonlight, the white moonlight with a golden finger, really is!

You have the destiny of a male protagonist, and I have a cheat system. Who can say who will win and who will lose in the end!

Moreover, judging from the plots of the gender-swapped, body-swap angst novels I've read, theoretically, as long as the white moonlight doesn't cause trouble, the male protagonist is completely overwhelmed by the white moonlight filter.

Unfortunately, sometimes trouble will find you even if you don't want to cause it.

Seeing that Su Shiyu was calmed down by just one look from Ye Linyuan, and that her gaze towards Ye Linyuan was almost drooling, Zhao Jinyan, as a man, even if he was a turtle, couldn't help but speak up.

"Shiyu, how could you do this? We're husband and wife! Even if we wanted a divorce, we're not divorced yet. As long as we haven't gone to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce certificate, we're legally married. What you're doing is called adultery, do you know that?!"

"I know, it's all his fault. He's come back to deceive you again, Shiyu. Have you forgotten how he abandoned you four years ago? You can't trust him anymore."

"Do you want to be dumped by this man again?!"

"Poetry Rain..."

Listening to Zhao Jinyan's incessant chatter, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but laugh.

Although he couldn't investigate, Ye Linyuan was confident in his guess. So, as soon as he returned to the country, he not only had to face the real young master in the novel about the real and fake young masters, but also the turtle-like male lead in the novel about the substitute male lead and his contractual husband.

Hehehehe, Zhao Jinyan, I may not be a match for the real young master, but I don't care about your mere contract husband. Besides, you chose to stand up against me, so please bear the first half of your predetermined fate!

As for the fate of going through the "chasing after her husband" phase in the second half, that's not for you!

Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan, seeing Su Shiyu's initial bewilderment followed by joy, pulled her into his arms. Only then did he give Zhao Jinyan, whose face was now as black as the bottom of a pot and who was speechless, a gentle smile.

"Mr. Zhao, Shiyu and I grew up together. We haven't seen each other for four years, so we're planning to get together with some friends to catch up. Would you like to come?"

To kill someone, you must first destroy their spirit!

"Boss!!!!!" x2
