21: Chapter 21: Liu Ruyan's devoted second male lead? How utterly brain-dead!

Chu Yang quietly leaned behind Shen Yuan, poked him in the kidney with his elbow, and winked, "Quite a few people came today!"

Shen Yuan nodded, "It's quite lively, indeed. Too bad our sister didn't come back; we're missing a dining partner."

Chu Yang froze, "Our sister?"

Shen Yuan slapped his head and laughed it off, "Oh, your sister!"

Chu Yang: "Your sister!"

The next moment, he realized, "Oh, our sister!"

Chu Yang smiled, "She's dealing with jet lag over there. Don't be so petty; she should have messaged you by now, right?"

"Ah, right, right, right!"

Shen Yuan waved his hand perfunctorily, then changed the subject, lowering his voice with a cheeky grin, "Anyway, I have 45,000 villain points now, get it?"

Chu Yang's eyes widened like copper bells, "The hell?"

"Forgot to tell you."

Shen Yuan said with a cheeky grin, "I farmed it off Liu Ruyan last night—a full 45,000. Huge profit, no losses!"

Chu Yang's face instantly fell, looking aggrieved, "With so many villain points, you still beat me up this morning?"

"Yang Zi, that won't do!"

"You farmed 45,000 from Liu Ruyan, but how much did you farm from me?"

"You need to beat me up a few more times to make up for it!"

Chu Yang said solemnly.

Shen Yuan was amused by his outrageous request.

"What the hell do you know!"

"Ten villain points exchange for one primary healing pill. Chop it into four pieces to farm four times; five pills make twenty times."

"If you get injured, the recovery is such a hassle. It's a huge loss and not worth it, you get it?"

Shen Yuan smiled slightly.

Chu Yang: "..."

You really have forgotten the old for the new.

I was your first!

Have I gone from being the white moonlight to a bloodstain on a mosquito?

"I can suppress my cultivation!" Chu Yang persisted, patting his chest in guarantee, "Just treat me as an ordinary person..."

"Bullshit!"

Shen Yuan raised his middle finger, "You're already in the Qi Refining stage. Even if you don't use spiritual power, is your body the same as an ordinary person's?"

"Liu Ruyan can do ten to three thousand, but you're only ten to seven hundred and fifty!"

"The cost-effectiveness really isn't worth it!"

Shen Yuan chuckled.

Chu Yang clutched his chest, looking sorrowful, "But I was your first..."

Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow, replying slowly, "You said it yourself, one shouldn't be too petty."

Chu Yang: Damn it! This boomerang hit harder than a rocket!

"Brother, what are you talking about? What 'first time'?"

Chu Yiyi walked over, led by Uncle Gou, her big eyes full of curiosity, like a gossiping little squirrel.

"Nothing!"

Both shook their heads at the same time, speaking in unison, "Kids shouldn't ask so many questions!"

"Young Master, when the banquet start is announced in a moment, it will be your turn to go on stage!"

Uncle Gou, holding Shi Yuanyuan, reminded him earnestly.

Miss Yiyi, don't ask anymore!

If you ask...

Your two brothers... one of them you'll have to call sister-in-law in the future!

"Uncle Gou, I understand." Shen Yuan nodded and looked ahead, "You take Yiyi over there first!"

"Alright!"

Uncle Gou took Chu Yiyi and walked inside.

"By the way..."

Chu Yang poked Shen Yuan again, "So many people came today; did our fiancées show up?"

"They didn't come!"

Shen Yuan yawned, nonchalant, "They went abroad for business! Haven't returned yet!"

"After they return, I'm going to break off the engagement!"

"You handle the rest."

Shen Yuan smiled slightly.

Chu Yang quickly waved his hands, "No thanks!"

"Don't let her come up and say, 'I only have one fiancé!'"

"'The only one I love is Brother Yuan!'"

"'Don't you even think about getting my heart!'"

Chu Yang licked his lips, "I've been watching short dramas these past two days; I know all the tropes!"

Shen Yuan raised his middle finger, "It's just a business marriage, there's no emotion involved."

"Shen Yuan!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came.

A man who looked somewhat refined walked over, his face carrying a trace of suppressed anger.

Shen Yuan recognized him.

This was the young master of the Song Corporation, Song Mian.

"What do you want?"

Shen Yuan squinted, "Looking for trouble?"

"Did you do what happened to Liu Ruyan?"

Song Mian pointed at Shen Yuan's nose and started scolding, "How could you treat her like that?"

"She is just a pure, kind, and cute girl..."

"Isn't it just breaking one of your porcelain vases?"

"Hmm!?"

"You were actually so heartless, firing her directly..."

"Do you know how heartbroken Liu Ruyan was crying today?"

Song Mian shouted.

Shen Yuan stroked his chin and fell into thought.

Came for Liu Ruyan?

A moment later, Shen Yuan realized.

Understood, understood!

By the side of a female lead in a female-oriented novel, there must be a gentle second male lead!

Don't know when Liu Ruyan hooked up with him.

As expected of Great Emperor Ruyan, her speed at seducing men is outrageous!

"Young Master Song!"

Shen Yuan's tone instantly turned cold, his eyes filled with oppression, "First, this is my birthday banquet. Since you were invited, you need to know etiquette!"

"At my birthday banquet, I can lose my temper, but you cannot!"

"You're making a fool of yourself here, pressing the face of the Song Family into the ground and smashing it into eight pieces!"

"Or could it be... you came, but left your dignity on the floor?"

"Second, Liu Ruyan is an employee of my company. How I choose to handle her has anything to do with the Song Corporation?"

Shen Yuan's voice held a trace of ice, "Does your father know you came to find me like this?"

A mere 300 billion corporation, and you dare to come and jump around in front of me?

Have I been too kind?

"No, you know that's not what I meant!"

Song Mian's face looked ugly, "I'm just standing up for Liu Ruyan! Why are you so cold-blooded?"

"I'm cold, I'm heartless, and I'm unreasonable!"

Shen Yuan sneered, "That's what you mean, right?"

"Chu Yang, take him and come with me!"

Shen Yuan turned around.

"Got it!"

Chu Yang rubbed his hands, and before Song Mian could react, he punched him in the temple.

Song Mian rolled his eyes and passed out cold.

Chu Yang carried the person and followed Shen Yuan, smiling happily, "How was that? High efficiency, right?"

Shen Yuan's mouth twitched, "I told you to take him..."

"Didn't I take him?" Chu Yang smiled slightly.

Shen Yuan's mouth twitched twice.

That's not what I meant!

Did you have to knock him out?

The two arrived in front of a middle-aged man.

Chu Yang casually threw Song Mian over.

The middle-aged man was startled.

"Mr. Song, your son's brain doesn't seem to work very well."

Shen Yuan's tone was flat, "Yang Zi, wake him up."

"Oh!"

Chu Yang kicked Song Mian in the crotch.

"Awoo!"

Song Mian let out a miserable scream and jumped up.

Mr. Song's face looked ugly, "Young Master Shen, aren't you being a bit too..."

"Make him shut up!"

Shen Yuan said, "Don't knock him out!"

Chu Yang poked a finger into Song Mian's throat.

Song Mian: "Abba abba abba..."

Mr. Song's face turned livid, "Young Master Shen, don't think that your Shen Family..."

"So and so, this and that!" Shen Yuan interrupted him.

Mr. Song: "..."

"I want to know... my intern broke my porcelain vase, and Song Mian ran over to demand an explanation from me?"

"Mr. Song, if an intern at your company were similarly careless and caused you a loss of over ten million..."

"Would Mr. Song do the same as your son and go up to hug her?"

"And then say, 'It's okay'?"

"Are you an idiot?"
