I Don’t Want To Be A Villain - Chapter 25

Tang Mingxi took a screenshot of his conversation with Ye Heng and purposely deleted some of his boot licking comments.

He only left Ye Heng’s messages and forwarded it to Wang Min.

[Who wants him to vent his anger? (smile)]

Wang Min: [?]

Wang Min: [Give me a warning before abusing the single dog (Goodbye)]

After a while, Wang Min replied again.

Wang Min: [Baby, I think you’re focusing on the wrong thing.]

Wang Min: [Why didn’t he deny the fact that you’re his wife? (Shocked)]

Tang Mingxi: “…”

I seem to be even more angry.

[Who’s your wife? Don’t flatter yourself.]

Tang Mingxi quickly replied to Ye Heng.

But after replying a few minutes later, he felt like he was giving himself away.

Tang Mingxi withdrew the message.

In the end, As a result, Ye Heng immediately sent him a screenshot, which was the message that Tang Mingxi had withdrawn.

…

Tang Mingxi mocked him without hesitation. [Your hand speed is so fast? Did you practice it after being single for 18 years?]

As soon as he said this, he felt that something was not quite right.

But it was too late to withdraw the message.

Ye Heng seemed to be waiting for him to send a message and immediately sent a cold message: [What, you need a partner? Someone to practice with?]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Tang Mingxi frantically wanted to withdraw the message, but his hand slipped and he pressed the delete button.

This flirtatious sentence completely disappeared from Tang Mingxi’s WeChat box.

Tang Mingxi placed his hand over his heart and comforted himself. ‘Life is short. It will pass by very quickly.’

Perhaps because of his obvious distress, Ye Yue noticed something wasn’t quite right and turned around. “Brother Mingxi, what’s wrong?”

Tang Mingxi instinctively held onto his phone, thinking that minors should not look at these things.

But when he saw Ye Yue’s lifeless peach blossom eyes, he paused before remembering that Ye Yue had lost her sight long ago.

“It’s nothing. Your brother will come over later to avenge you!” Tang Mingxi patted Ye Yue’s head affectionately.

Ye Yue didn’t seem to be used to the closeness, and she seemed a little embarrassed.

However, she approached Tang Mingxi in a daze and boldly rubbed her head against Tang Mingxi’s palm.

Why was he acting like a puppy?

Tang Mingxi cursed inwardly.

Ye Heng came very quickly, together with Secretary Zhou.

She was a capable and attentive female secretary, so Tang Mingxi had some impression of her.

However, Secretary Zhou looked terrified and anxious, as if she had been called out in a hurry.

As soon as Tang Mingxi saw Ye Heng, he recalled the awkward incident just now.

He wondered where this shameless man had learned to cultivate such thick skin, standing before him without batting an eye after what had just happened!

It was only when Secretary Zhou called the middle-aged man “Dad” that Tang Mingxi finally understood what was going on.

No one knew where Secretary Zhou’s father got the news from, but when he heard that his daughter’s boss was young, he became a little greedy and kept persuading his daughter to have a good talk with the boss.

Secretary Zhou was annoyed by her father, so she brushed him off a few times.

In fact, at this time, Secretary Zhou already had a boyfriend. Her father did not know the inside story and misunderstood that Secretary Zhou was dating Ye Heng.

That was why today’s blunder happened.

When the middle-aged man learned from Secretary Zhou that Tang Mingxi was Ye Heng’s “wife”, his face turned pale.

Later on, when he apologized and slid down on his knees, he didn’t have any of the stubbornness he had earlier.

Tang Mingxi didn’t want to make things difficult for Secretary Zhou. Besides, the other party didn’t know at all.

After the man apologized to Ye Yue, Tang Mingxi waved his hand and asked the middle-aged man to pay off the clothes and debt and let him leave.

After the matter was over, Tang Mingxi looked at Ye Heng, who had been standing by the side without saying a word.

The other party seemed to have felt his gaze and turned his head. A sentence was clearly written on his face: Are you appeased?

Tang Mingxi recalled the awkward conversation on WeChat just now and quickly averted his gaze and looked at Secretary Zhou’s back.

Ye Heng asked coldly, “What are you looking at?”

Tang Mingxi: “Is it really so improper to look at my sister whom I’ve never met before?”

Ye Heng: “…”

“I have nothing to do with her,” Ye Heng explained.

Nonsense, of course I know you have nothing to do with her. Can’t you tell that I’m changing the topic?

Ye Yue’s illness made it impossible for her to stay outside for long.

In the inpatient ward of Shiyi hospital, Ye Yue changed into a hospital gown and lay on the bed.

Tang Mingxi sensibly retreated to the door, leaving the two siblings alone.

Ye Yue suddenly asked, “Brother, aren’t you going to ask me why I went out with sister-in-law today?”

Ye Heng’s hand paused and he said, “Why?”

Ye Yue couldn’t hide her thoughts and said excitedly, “I went to buy you a birthday present.”

To be honest, Ye Heng had almost forgotten that he had a birthday.

Other than Ye Yue, no one else in the world would remember his birthday.

Ye Yue only revealed a pair of eyes outside the blanket and said softly, “I heard that Brother Mingxi also picked a present.”

Ye Heng’s calm gaze flickered and he covered Ye Yue with the blanket.

The subject of discussion, Tang Mingxi, sat on the stainless steel chair in the hospital lobby, his cell phone vibrating lightly twice.

Shen Yuan: [Brother, save me. Saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda QVQ]

Shen Yuan: [Do you have any money? Lend me some. One million is enough.]

Tang Mingxi sneered and blacklisted Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan did not give up. He used another account to contact him. [Brother, I was wrong. I won’t borrow money anymore. I’m here to bring you news!]

Tang Mingxi accepted his friend request and was prepared to see what Shen Yuan was going to tell him.

[Cousin, did you know that He Lingzhi has returned?]

[Did he contact you?]

[I remember that He Lingzhi used to be quite close to you O.O]

[Didn’t you secretly have a crush on him in the past?]

When he saw the last sentence, Tang Mingxi suddenly felt a headache coming on.

The name He Lingzhi also appeared in his mind.

The “Second Young Master Tang” in the original novel was the standard childhood sweetheart, the brother next door.

He replied expressionlessly: [Who has a crush on whom?]

Shen Yuan sensed hostility and quickly changed his words. [You didn’t have a crush on him! Cousin, I was wrong!]

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Tang Mingxi blocked Shen Yuan’s account without hesitation.

Seeing that the message he sent had turned into a red exclamation mark, Shen Yuan covered his face and sighed.

His cousin had been so stubborn since he was young.

If he had not heard about He Lingzhi, Shen Yuan would never have believed that there would be a day when his superior cousin would have a crush on someone else.

However, looking at his ruthless demonic appearance on WeChat, it did not seem like he was embarrassed when he heard that He Lingzhi had returned.

Could it be that the rumors were wrong?

Shen Yuan was thinking about this when Tang Nuo’s office opened and Tang Nuo walked out.

Shen Yuan quickly said, “Third Brother!”

Although he did not really like Tang Nuo, this illegitimate son, he could only borrow from Tang Nuo since he could not get money from Tang Mingxi.

Tang Nuo stopped in his tracks and said gently, “Why is Xiao Yuan here?”

Shen Yuan said, “I’ve been thinking of… investing in a project recently, but I’m a little short on cash. I wanted to ask if Third Brother is interested in coming over to play.”

Tang Nuo’s probing gaze swept across his face, then he smiled and said, “Sure. However, Third Brother doesn’t understand the things you youngsters play with. I’ll give you the money. How about you help me invest? ”

That was exactly what Shen Yuan wanted!!

“Third Brother, you’re such a nice person.”

Shen Yuan immediately switched sides with Tang Nuo.

Tang Nuo pretended to ask casually, “Aren’t you usually the closest with Second Brother? Why didn’t you ask him to invest in a good project this time? Why did you come to me instead?”

“Don’t mention it.” Shen Yuan sighed and said, “Second Brother must be worried about He Lingzhi’s return. I won’t disturb him.”

He Lingzhi had returned?

Tang Nuo calmly suppressed his surprise.

He Lingzhi was no stranger to the Tang Family.

He had grown up with Tang Mingxi, and it was said that he had even gone abroad because of Tang Mingxi.

At that time, the Tang Family had discovered Tang Mingxi’s special feelings for He Lingzhi and promptly sent He Lingzhi abroad, extinguishing this budding relationship and destroying all of his future in the country.

“However, that was so many years ago. Isn’t Cousin about to get married now?” Shen Yuan continued, “I think his relationship with Ye Heng is quite good now. He’s not as hostile as before when he meets him. I even heard Cousin picked out a birthday present for Ye Heng in Huating today.”

Tang Nuo listened and slowly tightened his grip on the document.

Tang Mingxi and Ye Heng’s relationship was getting better day by day, which made him feel very threatened.

In his previous life, the two of them were like fire and water. In his rebirth, Tang Nuo didn’t know which part of the process went wrong, but Tang Mingxi seemed to have become a different person. His attitude toward Ye Heng had also undergone a 180-degree change.

It was simply a fantasy for Tang Mingxi to pick out a birthday present for Ye Heng.

Don’t tell him that his useless second brother had fallen in love with Ye Heng?

That was too funny.

However, if things continued to develop like this, would Ye Heng change his opinion of Tang Mingxi?

Tang Nuo’s eyes darkened. Could it be the same as before? Tang Mingxi could easily get something that he couldn’t get even if he tried his best?

In his previous life, the only chance he had left to turn the tables was Ye Heng’s favor toward him.

Now, he definitely couldn’t watch Tang Mingxi take away this special thing!

On Monday morning, the Tang Group’s internal meeting was held on time.

After the morning passed, the weekly meeting finally ended. Ye Heng glanced at his phone, his WeChat was empty and there were no messages.

His chat with Tang Mingxi was still from two days ago.

Tang Mingxi had been ignoring him recently. He didn’t know if he had offended him again.

Out of the blue, Ye Heng sent a message over.

[Have you eaten?]

Tang Mingxi quickly sent a screenshot over, which was a schedule showing that it was only ten o’clock in the morning.

At the same time, he arrogantly retorted: [Did you take the wrong medicine?]

Who eats at ten.

Ye Heng sent over a link. It was the address of Baiyang Private Kitchen.

[Baiyang Private Kitchen has a few new dishes.]

Tang Mingxi: [What do you mean?]

Ye Heng paused for a moment before replying: [Are you going to eat?]

It was his birthday.

Ye Heng didn’t realize why he had chosen this day to ask Tang Mingxi out for a meal.

It had never happened before.

Ye Heng remembered that when he first came to the Tang family, Tang Mingxi was arrogant, stupid, and bad. He had humiliated him countless times.

If it wasn’t for Ye Yue’s bone marrow transplant, he would have left the Tang family long ago.

But then, Tang Mingxi changed.

Although he was still arrogant, there was something different.

Tang Mingxi used to be like a vase with a bad personality. Although he was beautiful, he was disgusting.

He didn’t know when it started, but Tang Mingxi had become lively in his eyes. He was so bright that it was hard for him to look away.

Tang Mingxi: [Is this the attitude you should have when you treat someone to a meal?]

Ye Heng’s lips curled up. He replied on WeChat: [Then can I treat you to a meal?]

…

[.]

[Alright, since you helped me that day, I’ll consider it.]

“Ye Heng!” Tang Nuo called out to Ye Heng. Before the elevator doors closed, he walked in and smiled. “Long time no see.”

Ye Heng nodded at him and didn’t say anything else.

If it was in the past, Tang Nuo wouldn’t have cared about Ye Heng’s cold attitude.

He knew in his heart that he was special in Ye Heng’s eyes.

But now, he didn’t know how special he was.

Tang Nuo couldn’t help but worry. Did Ye Heng not hate Tang Mingxi anymore? If he didn’t hate Tang Mingxi, how could he replace Tang Mingxi and take over the Tang family in the future?

“I heard from Xiao Yuan that he saw you in Huating last time. Were you shopping with Second Brother?”

“Yeah.”

Seeing that Ye Heng didn’t deny it, Tang Nuo’s heart sank.

He gritted his teeth and said softly, “I knew it. But I didn’t expect that with Second Brother’s personality, I thought he didn’t like to go shopping.”

“It may be because Big Brother He is back. I heard from Xiao Yuan that Second Brother also received the news. It seems that you even picked a gift for him in Huating.” Tang Nuo smiled warmly and said, “Second Brother is still the same as before. Ever since we were young, he’s been the most concerned about Big Brother He. He even picked a gift himself. If my dad hadn’t stopped him back then… I’m afraid they would’ve been together a long time ago.”

He paused for a moment and glanced at Ye Heng’s gradually turning cold expression. He lowered his voice and said, “Sorry, I shouldn’t have brought this up.”

Tang Nuo’s words stopped there. After he finished speaking, he quietly waited for Ye Heng’s reply.

After a while, he heard the youth’s cold voice. “Since you know you’re sorry, then don’t mention it and annoy me.'”
