I Don’t Want To Be A Villain - Chapter 10

“Grandma. Happy New Year. “Tang Mingxi braced himself and continued to be a loving couple with Ye Heng.

The old lady was obviously very satisfied with the couple’s relationship. She knew nothing about the hardships Ye Heng had suffered in the Tang family. She pulled Tang Mingxi into the house and asked them to eat at the table.

Tang Nuo had already arrived. He stood up and nodded at Tang Mingxi. After getting a response, he sat down again.

Beside him was a gentle and elegant man sitting in a wheelchair with a smile. It was Tang Mingxi’s second uncle, Tang Xuejin.

Tang Xuejin had been sick since he was young. He had been blind for many years and his legs were disabled. He didn’t want to fight for the family fortune and had been living in seclusion. He rarely appeared in public.

“Second Uncle, Happy New Year,” Tang Mingxi greeted him honestly.

Tang Xuejin asked the servants to give Tang Mingxi and Ye Heng red envelopes. He smiled and said, “You’re so sweet. I’ll feel bad if I don’t give you a red envelope.”

After receiving the red envelope, Tang Mingxi couldn’t help but feel its thickness. He felt satisfied and happy. “It’s so thick!” As expected of one of the top ten wealthy families in Ning City.

Tang Xuejin heard his voice and saw that he was just like when he was young. When he received money, he was like a cat stealing fish. He couldn’t help but shake his head with a smile.

After Tang Mingxi put the red envelope away, he was quickly attracted by the fragrant dishes on the table. Since he transmigrated, he had been on tenterhooks and hadn’t had a good meal.

Now, looking at the table full of home-cooked dishes, Tang Mingxi’s appetite was quickly aroused.

Ye Heng sat quietly. The old lady occasionally asked him a few questions, but his answers were flawless. It was as if there was really something going on between him and Tang Mingxi.

When the old lady asked when they were going to have a child, Tang Mingxi, who was immersed in eating, coughed loudly.

Ye Heng’s acting was real. He patted his back gently and said in an indescribably gentle tone, “Eat slowly.”

Tang Mingxi felt his hair stand on end. It was as if a cold poisonous snake had coiled around his neck.

“Grandma, what are you talking about? How can two men have a child?” Tang Mingxi pretended to be calm. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

A trace of doubt appeared in the old lady’s eyes. Ever since the old master passed away, the old lady had been in low spirits. She was too sad and confused. “Little Xi can have a child.”

Just as he was about to reply, Ye Heng replied, “It’s not time yet. Xiao Xi’s health isn’t good, so he’s planning to have a child a year later. ”

At this moment, Tang Mingxi couldn’t help but admire Ye Heng’s professionalism. As the male lead of a qidian novel, he could actually calmly talk about such an explosive topic.

Do you have an account in Jinjiang?

The old lady nodded. “Yes, yes. You can’t just rely on Xiao Xi to give birth to a child. Both of you have to work hard. ”

Tang Mingxi gave a professional fake laugh. “Hahaha … Of course, of course.”

Ye Heng looked meaningfully at his stomach as a trace of mockery flashed across his eyes.

After dinner, Tang Xuejin was sent to the second floor by Tang Nuo because he wasn’t feeling well.

It was getting late. The butler, Uncle Wang, had already arranged the rooms. This made Tang Mingxi face an epic problem. He had no choice but to sleep in the same room as Ye Heng.

The two of them stood at the door of the room, feeling a little awkward.

Logically speaking, Tang Mingxi should have already kicked him, then thrown a tantrum and said, “You want to stay in the same room as me?” Then, she slammed the door and shut Ye Heng outside.

However, when he turned his head, Old Lady Tang was looking at him expectantly. She also glanced at his stomach lovingly.

Tang Mingxi braced himself and opened the door expressionlessly.

Ye Heng stood behind him and didn’t move. Tang Mingxi didn’t close the door either.

A few seconds later, Ye Heng stepped into the room under the eager eyes of the old lady.

The bedroom on the third floor had a garden room. On the right side of the room was a floor-to-ceiling window, and outside the window was a quiet lake.

Ye Heng opened the door of the cabinet and took out a quilt. He picked a place far away from Tang Mingxi’s bed and spread it on the ground.

He made the bed very naturally. It was impossible to tell that he was the young master of the Ye family in Yunjing. A young man about his age would probably still be worried about the college entrance examination. However, Ye Heng had already experienced a lot of torture that ordinary people couldn’t bear.

The white shirt that was a little old from washing was pulled up on his arm, and the clothes were pressed into a few well-proportioned folds.

He had a light complexion, and his figure was tall and thin. He was still young and immature, but he already had the calm temperament of a future helmsman.

Looking down, Ye Heng’s finger bones were a little red.

Tang Mingxi didn’t know why he touched the frostbite ointment in his pocket again.

“Will you sleep on the ground?” Tang Mingxi broke the silence.

Ye Heng’s body obviously paused. “The old lady is at the door. If I sleep in the corridor, I will be discovered.”

… I don’t mean you should sleep in the corridor.

Tang Mingxi found that because the original host did too many bad things, everything he said could be misinterpreted by Ye Heng.

Since Ye Heng had already said so, Tang Mingxi felt that he wasn’t someone who liked to be snubbed.

Moreover, if he proposed to sleep in the same bed, his image as the scumbag second young master would be easily destroyed.

So it was a dreamless night.

The next morning, Tang Mingxi got up first. He didn’t know if Ye Heng had suffered too much in the past two days and didn’t sleep well.

Tang Mingxi saw that his eyes were slightly blue and he didn’t sleep very well in his dreams.

He squatted down and lifted Ye Heng’s quilt. Anyway, the male protagonist was sleeping and wouldn’t find out that he violated his image.

Before leaving, he put the frostbite ointment on the coffee table.

As soon as Tang Mingxi left, Ye Heng opened his eyes.

His eyes were clear and didn’t look like he had just woken up.

He picked up the frostbite ointment on the table and glanced at it. Then, without any expression, he threw it into the trash can.

On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Tang Mingxi and Ye Heng were sent to the car under Old Lady Tang’s eager gaze.

After getting in the car, Ye Heng’s smile completely disappeared. His face changed so fast that even Sichuan opera could not compare.

Tang Mingxi had been very focused on dealing with the old lady. Although he wasn’t physically tired, he was mentally exhausted. After getting in the car, he couldn’t be bothered to talk and waste energy.

From the corner of his eye, he saw that Ye Heng’s hands were casually placed on his knees. His fingers were covered with a thin layer of ointment.

Of course, Tang Mingxi didn’t know that his frostbite ointment had been thrown into the trash can and then picked up on the table and stared at by the patient for more than ten minutes. In the end, the patient used a very strange and subtle expression to squeeze a bit of the ointment on his hand.

He then realised that it was really just a simple tube of frostbite ointment.

It wasn’t a tube of poison mixed with arsenic.

If the frostbite ointment could speak one day, it would definitely jump up and yell at Ye Heng, who had thrown it into the trash can and pulled it out with mixed feelings: Are you crazy?!

However, other than the uncertain future, the reason why Tang Mingxi was in a bad mood was because he didn’t know how to deal with the debt of more than 20 million yuan.

He couldn’t count on the investment company that lost 10 million yuan every quarter. Although Tang Mingxi was confident in investments, he didn’t understand the market set in the novel at all. The possibility of him making a comeback in the short term was zero.

However, he felt that it was very strange. The lousy company of the original owner was losing money every year and he was in debt every year. Why did he still owe 20 million yuan every year and start from scratch the next year?

In the next second, Tang Mingxi knew the reason.

Tang Yun’s WeChat message came as promised: [Did you have fun at Grandma’s house? Big Brother was busy with work and didn’t have time to come back to accompany you. Xiao Xi, don’t be angry.]

…Big Brother, I’m twenty, not two years old. Do you still need to use a coaxing tone?

There was a ding-dong sound, and the next WeChat message came again.

Tang Yun: [The New Year’s red envelope has been transferred to your card. Little Xi, have fun ^ – ^]

Tang Mingxi was speechless. If WeChat was so convenient, why didn’t he use WeChat to transfer it?

His younger brother was already an adult, yet he still spoke so intimately. He despised him even more.

Then, his phone sent a notification: Your account ending with xxxx has completed a transaction … one, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand …

Eight zeros.

Tang Mingxi replied decisively: [Thank you, Big Brother QVQ]

Tang Mingxi: [Big Brother is the best QVQ]

Isn’t it just acting spoiled? Who doesn’t know how to do that?

This is what a fierce man should do.

Tang Yun: [Big Brother also thinks that Little Xi is the best. I remember you mentioned that you wanted to see the aurora before the New Year?
The cities overseas aren’t safe. I asked Chen Zhu to buy you a small island in Northern Europe. Remember to take some time to sign it.]

Tang Mingxi knelt down for him. This is my brother, right? Is it not appropriate for me not to kowtow three times during the New Year?!

He thought of the 20 million yuan he owed.

It doesn’t seem like a lot anymore.

Ye Heng saw that Tang Mingxi’s mood had improved.

If he wasn’t present, Tang Mingxi would have been humming in the car.

Did this trash pick up money?

Tang Mingxi was in a good mood, and he found Ye Heng more pleasing to the eye.

He remembered that he hadn’t given Ye Heng a red envelope yet, and then he remembered that the original owner only gave Ye Heng 100 yuan a day as pocket money.

This was too stingy. Tang Mingxi immediately decided to give Ye Heng more pocket money.

Ye Heng found his gaze strange. Tang Mingxi took out 1,000 yuan from his wallet, like a rich man who had become rich overnight, preparing to support a pretty boy. “Since I’m in a good mood, I’ll give you more pocket money. From today onwards, I’ll give you 1,000 yuan a day.”

Ye Heng: …

For some reason, Ye Heng didn’t feel the humiliation of Tang Mingxi giving him pocket money in the past.

Was it an illusion? Tang Mingxi’s facial features were bright. At this moment, he looked like a little fox who had secretly eaten a chicken.

“Why don’t you express your gratitude?”

Perhaps it was because he had money in his hands, Tang Mingxi wasn’t afraid of his murderer.

After all, money makes people bold.

Ye Heng’s voice was cold. “How do you want me to express it?”

Like before, he wanted him to kneel on the ground to express his gratitude?

Tang Mingxi was surprised. “You’ve already gotten a raise. Aren’t you going to treat me to a meal?”

Ye Heng: …

In the end, the two of them ate 1,500 yuan in a western restaurant.

Ye Heng even gave him an additional 500 yuan.

This made things worse for the young man who wasn’t very rich to begin with.
