I Don’t Want To Be A Villain - Chapter 21 Part 3

Tang Mingxi snorted coldly. For some reason, he felt a little happy.

At least he had good taste.

Less than a week after Tang Mingxi’s birthday, the person who kidnapped him on the yacht that night was caught.

After an interrogation at the police station, they found the mastermind. It was indeed Tang Yu.

According to Tang Yu, his initial target was not Tang Mingxi at all.

Because he had a conflict of interest with Ye Heng over the Qingluo Bay project, he didn’t think it through and went down the wrong path. He wanted to hire two thugs to beat Ye Heng up at the banquet and throw him into the sea to embarrass him.

He insisted that he had no intention of harming Ye Heng’s life.

Who knew that these two thugs were unreliable? Not only did they not recognize Tang Mingxi, but they also threw him into the sea by mistake.

In the end, it blew up. Tang Mingxi knew everything that happened after that.

It was not until more than a month later when Tang Yu was arrested by the Ningcheng Public Security Bureau that Wang Min found out about this.

That day, she invited Tang Mingxi to a newly opened cake shop to clock in.

She complained as she posed with the cake.

“I can’t believe Tang Yu’s words. He deceived me when we were dating. Now that he’s in the police station, he deserves it. It’s best if he stays there for the rest of his life!”

Wang Min said with lingering fear, “Fortunately, you’re fine this time. Otherwise, I definitely won’t let him off.”

Tang Mingxi picked up a spoon and took a bite of the cake.

Recently, in order to lose weight, Wang Min usually ordered cakes to be arranged. After the cake was arranged, she would not eat it.

Tang Mingxi would eat a little occasionally, but his taste for sweets was average.

As she ate, Wang Min suddenly lowered her voice. “Xiao Xi, how is your friend doing with the man you mentioned last time?”àa

Tang Mingxi looked away guiltily and coughed dryly. “Nothing. Why are you so curious?”

Wang Min choked for a moment.

Ever since Tang Mingxi’s birthday, because of this knot in his heart, he usually tried to avoid Ye Heng.

Of course, more importantly, from the situation that night when he fell into the water, Tang Mingxi did not completely master the ability to save himself in the water!

Therefore, when he came back the next day, Tang Mingxi went to the private swimming pool and asked the coach to increase the intensity of his training.

Just swimming back and forth was not enough. He also had to learn how to save himself in the pool.

His level of effort had increased by several times compared to before.

As a result, the coach could not help but look at the calendar every time. The words that hung on the tip of his tongue became, “The Olympics are coming…”

After more than a month of training, the results were obvious.

Tang Mingxi’s lower abdomen had a very beautiful waistline, and he could successfully overcome his fear of heights. He could jump down from a height of ten metres without even blinking.

However, even the shortest cliff in Qinuo Bay was thirty metres high. Tang Mingxi’s ten metre dive was not enough.

“Sigh.” Tang Mingxi sighed from the bottom of his heart.

It was August. The end of the year had passed, and Ye Heng would return to Yunjing.

He didn’t have much time left.

Ding, ding, ding, ding…

Wang Min’s phone rang.

She glanced at him and hung up the phone.

The ringing continued several times.

Tang Mingxi raised his chin slightly. “Take it.”

Wang Min whispered, “I’m sorry …”

Fifteen minutes later, Wang Min returned with a helpless expression.

Tang Mingxi asked her what was going on. Wang Min said, “Isn’t it Qixi Festival today? The blind date that my father arranged for me last time called and asked me to have dinner tonight.”

It was Qixi Festival?

Tang Mingxi froze for a moment. He really did not realise that today was a special day.

However, even if he knew, it was useless. He could not celebrate Qixi Festival.

Could he celebrate with Ye Heng?

It would be good if the male protagonist did not celebrate Qixi Festival with him.

Wang Min had a date in the evening, so Tang Mingxi left early with her.

Since he had nothing to do in the afternoon, he went to the swimming pool to swim.

It was not until he walked out of the house in the evening that Tang Mingxi realised that the atmosphere of Qixi Festival was very strong.

The streets and alleys were filled with couples who were intimate with each other.

Flower stalls and light balloons could be seen everywhere on the roadside.

Tang Mingxi had never been in a relationship before, but he had experienced a lot of PDA.

Some people saw that he was handsome and alone, so they plucked up the courage to hit on him.

Those who wanted to use WeChat felt that he was unapproachable. He was cold and noble, and his whole body exuded an aura of “I am very expensive”. Before they could get close, they wanted to retreat.

The only person who stopped Tang Mingxi was a little girl carrying a basket on the road. She was handing out birth control products.

She said that she was a university student who came out to do part-time jobs. On this beautiful day, she wanted to promote some good social ethics.

She was quite bold to dare to stuff condoms into Tang Mingxi’s hands.

Tang Mingxi casually took one and dealt with it. His driver, Lao Yang, had been waiting by the roadside for a long time.

Without thinking, he casually stuffed the condom into his pocket and forgot about it in the blink of an eye.

After Tang Mingxi returned home, he lay on the bed and felt bored. He opened his WeChat Moments and was even more bored.

All they did was show their affection, which made him inexplicably irritated.

Thus, he decided to represent justice. He started to leave his noble and elegant comments in the friend circles of these d*mned second-generation rich playboys.

XX Young Master Lin: With you around, it’s 520 every day.

Tang Mingxi: Anyone who likes you is an idiot.

XX Young Master Zuo: Life is full of flavours. Thank you for the sweetness.

Tang Mingxi: You’ve given them all the bitterness. Shameless.

Xx President Liu: I haven’t seen much of the world, but I only love one face in my life.

Tang Mingxi: This is the 108th one I’ve seen.

Why are you pretending to be affectionate?

Don’t harm other girls, okay? You can change three women in one morning and afternoon. Whoever meets you is unlucky.

After Tang Mingxi scolded a bunch of scumbags in his circle of friends, he felt much better.

He opened Ye Heng’s chat history and was still stuck on the cheesy flattery that Ye Heng had sent him last time.

Tang Mingxi sent him a red envelope of 1,000 yuan and added a message,

[I’m in a good mood. I’ll give you some pocket money.]

Ye Heng’s phone buzzed.

He looked up and saw that it was a WeChat message from Tang Mingxi.

1,000 yuan of pocket money and a message.

It was a very ordinary opening, but Ye Heng’s gaze lingered on it for a long time.

He picked up his phone and was about to reply when someone knocked on the door of the president’s office.

It was his assistant, Xiao Zhou, who came in. She was a capable and meticulous young woman.

“President Ye, all the information for today is here. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.”

Ye Heng looked at the time. It was just time to get off work. It was completely out of line with Assistant Zhou’s behaviour.

Assistant Zhou seemed to have noticed Ye Heng’s gaze and said embarrassedly, “President Ye, today is Qixi Festival. I want to get off work early to accompany my boyfriend.”

Ye Heng was slightly stunned. “Qixi Festival?”

“Yes.” Assistant Zhou thought to herself, ‘It can’t be. Although President Ye is very young, he should know about Qixi Festival, right?!’

Fortunately, Ye Heng did not ask further. He was only stunned for a second before saying, “Then you should leave early.”

Assistant Zhou smiled and said, “Thank you, President Ye.”

Just as she reached the door, Ye Heng suddenly stopped her. “Wait.”

Assistant Zhou hurriedly stopped. She could not help but feel her heart beating like a drum. She was afraid that something had happened to her work.

Although Ye Heng was young, he was serious and had accumulated a lot of power. He had massacred the senior managers several times, making his subordinates feel uneasy.

“Do you have anything else to say?” Assistant Zhou responded carefully.

Who knew that after thinking for a long time, Ye Heng would say, “How do you spend Qixi Festival?”

If it wasn’t for the fact that Ye Heng was with the Tang family’s second young master, Assistant Zhou would have thought that this young President Ye was interested in her!

She pondered for a moment and said something common, “It’s just eating dinner together, watching a movie, or giving out red envelopes?”

Ye Heng seemed to have caught the main point and asked, “Giving out red envelopes?”

Assistant Zhou: “Yes, we will give each other red envelopes.”

So that’s what Tang Mingxi meant.

Tang Mingxi fell asleep after giving out the red envelopes. He had secretly trained for an entire afternoon and had used up a lot of energy.

When he woke up again, the aroma of food wafted from the living room, enticing his stomach to growl.

Why did the male lead come back so early today?

Tang Mingxi stretched and slowly walked from the third floor to the first floor in his slippers.

Ye Heng’s figure appeared on the edge of the kitchen island. There were already a few delicious dishes on the table.

Tang Mingxi’s appetite was aroused.

The male lead’s awareness was quite high.

He just got his pocket money and he already knows how to make good food for me. Not bad, he has improved a lot compared to before.

Tang Mingxi asked reservedly, “Why did you come back so early today?”

Ye Heng gave him a look that clearly meant, “Didn’t you ask me to come back?”

Tang Mingxi didn’t understand the meaning and his eyes fell on the food.

After dinner, Ye Heng put all the dishes into the dishwasher.

Tang Mingxi saw his virtuous appearance and couldn’t help but think.

If only he had transmigrated earlier, before the original owner humiliated Ye Heng. Maybe at that time, their bad relationship could have been saved?

He wouldn’t have to be cannon fodder.

He felt that Ye Heng’s personality was quite good. It was a pity that they couldn’t be friends.

But it was useless to think so much. First, he had to pity the few days he had left. After Tang Mingxi finished eating, he went upstairs as usual. Ye Heng stopped him. “Tang Mingxi.”

He stopped in his tracks and heard Ye Heng suggest, “Do you want to watch a movie?”

Watch… a movie?

Were they in a relationship where they could sit together and watch a movie?

Tang Mingxi was speechless and was about to reply that he didn’t want to watch a movie.

However, he felt as if his head had been knocked hard by someone. He only remembered in hindsight.

Today was Qixi Festival.

The words of rejection were stuck in his throat as if they were blocked by a mysterious force.

Seeing that Tang Mingxi didn’t move, Ye Heng skillfully changed his question.

This time, his voice was much lower than before.

“I mean, can I nvite you to watch a movie?”
