I Don’t Want To Be A Villain - Chapter 20 Part 2
The next day, the alarm clock rang on time, indicating that his birthday had finally arrived.
Tang Mingxi, who had suffered a sleepless night, looked a little pale. While he sat in front of the mirror and was fiddled with by the stylist, the stylist was still carefully flattering him.
“Second young master’s skin is so good. I have done makeup for many celebrities, but they are not as good as you!”
“Second young master’s nose is so straight that it is even straighter than those made with tens of millions of yuan. His eyelashes are so long. He is simply the most desired plastic surgery template.”
Tang Mingxi’s heart was unmoved by the flattery.
Tang Mingxi’s birthday party was held at the estuary of Repulse Bay.
The Black Swan Yacht, which was worth 400 million USD, had been approved a month ago. It entered Repulse Bay and waited for this extravagant banquet.
An invitation to the Second Young Master’s birthday party is hard to come by among the upper class in Ningcheng.
Money alone might not be enough to get in. A certain social status and reputation is also required.
Tang Mingxi had been kidnapped when he was young. Since then, Tang Yun had paid special attention to his participation in such a large-scale party.
Hundreds of security personnel checked the guests for the banquet carefully. They were just short of investigating the family background of the guests.
Only when they confirmed that the guests were innocent would they be allowed to enter the banquet.
On the day of the birthday party, Tang Mingxi did not have to do anything.
At eight o’clock in the morning, the styling team came in to give him a makeover from head to toe. He didn’t even wake up at first. While he was half-awake, he was pushed into the changing room, where he changed into no less than a dozen suits.
It was not until noon that they decided which suits to wear for different occasions.
In order to maintain the fit of his figure and clothes, Tang Mingxi was only allowed to eat a small piece of melon at noon. He was so hungry that he was dizzy even before night fell.
When the banquet finally started, Tang Mingxi felt that he was walking on air.
As a foil to the expensive vase, Ye Heng naturally didn’t have to be tormented from morning to night like Tang Mingxi.
He organised a meeting in the morning and spent all his time in the afternoon waiting for Tang Mingxi to freshen up.
It had to be said that waiting was truly a torturous thing.
Even Ye Heng, who had a calm temperament, felt inexplicably irritated after a few hours.
He picked up the financial newspaper that he had ironed in the morning and began to read it quickly.
At first, his gaze fell on the newspaper and he could still read it.
Later, the English in the newspaper was somehow distorted and turned into a landscape painting.
Tang Mingxi’s appearance in his equestrian attire that day had left a deep impression on Ye Heng.
Although he did not like Tang Mingxi, he had to admit that Tang Mingxi was a competent and expensive vase.
The equestrian suit was very tight on his body. His waist was so thin that he could wrap his arm around it with one hand.
The sun in Rose Villa shone brightly that day, and this scene was deeply engraved in the youth’s mind.
He had been unable to get rid of it for the past few days, which made him a little impatient.
Is it not done yet?
Ye Heng glanced at his watch coldly.
When Tang Mingxi came out, Ye Heng’s impatience had reached its peak, and his face darkened a little.
Then, he looked up and his breathing stagnated for a moment before he quickly looked away.
Tang Mingxi had changed into a light-coloured, hand-made suit. Every inch of it was tailored to his figure. The lines were smooth and it was extremely fitting.
His skin was very pale to begin with, and today, the stylist had applied a thin layer of foundation to cover the dark circles under his eyes from a night of insomnia. The corners of his eyes seemed to have been outlined with very light brown eyeliner.
Tang Mingxi’s eyes were usually a little downcast, but today, they were slightly raised, increasing the lethality of his beauty by several degrees.
With just a glance, the charm in his eyes was breathtaking.
Tang Mingxi was obviously very satisfied with his appearance today. After getting into the car, he looked at the car window several times.
Ye Heng noticed that he had secretly looked at him twice. He felt an indescribable anxiety and his body was a little hot.
What is he looking at?
What does he mean by looking at me like that?
Tang Mingxi was completely unaware of Ye Heng’s inner thoughts. He lowered his head and quickly typed on WeChat: [Is he dead?
Ridiculous, I dressed up for the whole day, and I didn’t even get a single compliment??]
Wang Min immediately replied: [That’s right, that’s right. He doesn’t know what’s good for him. How dare he ignore our princess’s earth-shattering beauty? Unless he goes to the hospital and gets a certificate showing that his physiological functions are normal, I have reason to suspect that he has sexual apathy!]
Wang Min: [Baby, take a picture for us mortals to admire the fairy’s beauty (scattering flowers ~)]
Tang Mingxi: [Picture.jpg]
Wang Min: [!!!]
Wang Min: [TvT!!]
Wang Min: [I imagined it would be good, but I didn’t expect it to be so good!]
Wang Min: [Do you fairies have KPIs that can make mortals die of beauty? I announce that your performance this month has left everyone else in the dust!]
Wang Min: [I’m a human life after all. What good will it do you to make me die of beauty? Baby, are you going to go out with this face? Does the Ningcheng government not care about it?! It will affect public transportation safety!! TvT]
Tang Mingxi: [Cat head proud.jpg]
Tang Mingxi was very satisfied with the praise. He looked at the car window again.
But this time, he realised that Ye Heng was looking at him from the reflection of the window.
Ye Heng was caught off guard. He didn’t even have time to turn his head to hide his gaze.
Their gazes met in the air for a moment.
Then, there was a “thump” sound.
Coincidentally, they all heard a loud heartbeat in their ears.
Damn.
The heat on Tang Mingxi’s face did not dissipate even after he boarded the steps of the Black Swan Yacht.
What the hell.
Why was the male lead so handsome for a moment just now?!
Alright, although he liked Ye Heng a lot when he read the novel, he was just a 2D person at that time!
Who doesn’t like the male protagonist when reading a novel? TvT!
Tang Mingxi was inexplicably depressed, but when he saw Ye Heng on the yacht, the strange feeling of his heart beating faster disappeared.
So it was an illusion. That’s right, it was definitely an illusion.
Everything on the Black Swan Yacht was prepared according to the highest standards. The dishes from Michelin restaurants that usually cost three to four thousand yuan could be seen everywhere at the dinner party.
It was a gathering of celebrities. Tang Mingxi, as the main character of the night, was surrounded by people from the moment he entered the yacht.
He had as many as four personal assistants around him, including one who helped him drink, one who acted as a prompter, a translator who could speak four languages, and a personal assistant who was mainly responsible for checking whether the food and drinks in Tang Mingxi’s mouth had been spiked.
The four of them were carefully selected elites. They stood beside Tang Mingxi and paid attention to his etiquette. They monitored every type of alcohol he drank, afraid that something would go wrong. This also put him under a lot of pressure.
At this time, Tang Mingxi missed Aunty Wang’s simple, direct, violent, and effective methods.
After an hour, Tang Mingxi was a little tipsy.
Upon seeing this, the personal assistant hurriedly reported to Tang Yun. A few minutes later, the hangover medicine was sent up.
Tang Mingxi was feeling uncomfortable on the yacht. He waved his hand and said that he wanted to take a walk on the deck.
The four of them immediately followed him. Tang Mingxi was about to break down. At this time, he would be happier with Ye Heng than with these four robot AIs.
He quickly changed his words and said that he wanted to go to Ye Heng. The four of them looked at him hesitantly and made way for him.
After all, the second young master was going to find the young master. They couldn’t possibly be third wheels.
Tang Mingxi ran into the washroom and washed his face to wake himself up.
Then, he sneaked into the escape route and went to the deck from the other side.
At this moment, the conversation between the two men in the dark reached his ears.
“There are too many people. I can’t find a chance to do it.”
“Put some of this medicine on his cup. This kind of good stuff works very quickly.”
“After he passes out, throw him into the sea and drown him.”
“Clang!”
“Who is it?!”
Tang Mingxi’s eyes widened. Realising that he had been discovered, he quickly ran back.
When the two men saw that their plan had been exposed, their faces immediately turned ferocious and they grabbed Tang Mingxi.
All of this happened in the span of a few seconds. Tang Mingxi felt his vision darken, and he lost consciousness instantly.
Ye Heng’s alcohol tolerance was not good, so he purposely avoided drinking tonight.
After entertaining a few business clients, he turned around and saw Tang Mingxi’s personal assistant.
The other party was also very surprised to see him and hurriedly said, “Young Master, Second Young Master isn’t with you? He said he was coming to see you.”
Ye Heng frowned slightly. “I haven’t seen him tonight.”
The personal assistant’s expression changed. At this moment, Ye Heng seemed to have realised something.
He had a bad premonition.
Five minutes later, the security guards on the ship began to search for Tang Mingxi.
However, Tang Mingxi seemed to have evaporated into thin air and disappeared.
Something had happened!
Tang Mingxi was woken up by the bone-chilling seawater.
He seemed to have been thrown off the yacht. Tang Mingxi suddenly came to his senses and realised that he was already some distance away from the slowly moving yacht.
“Help … anyone …”
“Help … someone fell into the water …”
His weak cries for help did not change anything. The temperature of his body was slowly disappearing. Under the influence of alcohol, Tang Mingxi only managed to stay on the surface of the sea for a while before he sank due to exhaustion.
The seawater was above his head, and the pain of suffocation assaulted him. Tang Mingxi struggled in the water.
Was he going to die?
It seemed like he was about to die.
He wasn’t even killed by the male lead.
Well, drowning in the sea was better than being bitten to death by sharks.
If he was lucky, he might even be able to float to the surface of the sea and have a complete corpse.
However …
Tang Mingxi’s throat loosened slightly, and a string of bubbles rose from the dark seawater.
Before he died, he wasn’t sure if he had called out Ye Heng’s name.
Just as his consciousness was gradually fading away, he suddenly felt someone grab his waist.
Tang Mingxi’s survival instinct made him struggle again. He opened his eyes and saw a blurry shadow hugging him tightly in the water.
At this moment, Tang Mingxi’s desire for oxygen had reached it’s peak.
He didn’t even see who it was before he leaned forward and blocked the person’s lips with his. He pried open his lips arrogantly and took a breath of oxygen.
