I Don’t Want To Be A Villain - Chapter 9

The next morning, Tang Mingxi was woken up by the sound of his phone ringing.

After Tang Mingxi finished reading the masterpiece “Seductive Aunt and Lewd Brother-in-law”, which was a postmodern fantasy tribute to romantic realism, Tang Mingxi had nightmares for the whole night because of its brainwashing ability.

In the dream, Tang Nuo was wearing his pyjamas and sitting in his room. Ye Heng hugged him from behind and said, “Why are you wearing Tang Mingxi’s clothes?” In the end, Tang Mingxi caught him red-handed.

In the dream, Tang Mingxi was extremely shocked and spat out blood. “You, you!” After saying a few words, he was so angry that his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Why did this scene feel so familiar after waking up? Wasn’t this the famous seduction scene of the novel?

Tang Mingxi decided to warn Auntie Wang to read less novels.

The phone was still vibrating. Tang Mingxi picked it up half-asleep and saw that the caller was “He Wenfang”.

The next second, a cold male voice came from the phone. “Mr. Tang, you have to attend the land development tender meeting in Qingluo Bay today. There are still two hours before the tender meeting begins. I can’t contact Assistant Ye. I hope you can make preparations early.”

Qingluo Bay tender meeting?

Hearing this keyword, Tang Mingxi woke up from his sleepy state and was frightened.

Good lord, Qingluo Bay. Wasn’t that the bay where “Tang Mingxi” died without a burial place in the original novel?

Tang Mingxi instantly recalled the identity of the man on the other side of the phone.

He Wenfang, the secretary of the original owner’s company. He was a reliable and intelligent man.

Tang Mingxi remembered him clearly because He Wenfang had concealed his strength in the beginning. Later on, he used all his connections and resources to find a good master and became Ye Heng’s right-hand man. This was also why Ye Heng was able to destroy the Tang family so quickly.

Tang Mingxi then remembered that when the old master was still alive, he had asked Tang Mingxi and Ye Heng to manage the branch company together.

However, the original owner was very careless and had actually given the branch company to Ye Heng. This gave Ye Heng enough time to cultivate his own power.

However, the company was already an empty shell. Not only did it not make any money, but one also had to put money into it. It did not make a single profit.

Ye Heng had a high fever last night, and He Wenfang could not contact him, so he contacted him instead.

Tang Mingxi thought of this and could not help but sigh.

Ye Heng was only seventeen now, right? He was only seventeen years old, but he was already close to taking over Tang Mingxi’s small branch company.

How could there be a secretary who contacted the first-in-command because he couldn’t get in touch with the second-in-command!

Of course, the male lead could do whatever he wanted. Right now, Tang Mingxi was most concerned about his own life.

As for the tender meeting? He was about to lose his life, yet he still wanted to participate in the bidding. Summoning spirits was more suitable for him!

After hanging up the phone, Tang Mingxi lay back on the bed and began to think of a plan to escape.

He remembered that in the original novel, Ye Heng had personally pushed the cannon fodder’s wife off the cliff of Qingluo Bay.

In order to prevent a tragedy from happening, Tang Mingxi came up with a plan and suddenly sat up from the bed.

“Auntie Wang, I’m going out today. I won’t meet anyone who comes looking for me! ”

–

Ye Heng woke up from his unconscious state and saw Tang Nuo the moment he opened his eyes.

He didn’t know how long the other party had been lying on the bed. When he heard the noise, he looked at him with sleepy eyes.

From Ye Heng’s point of view, it was undoubtedly a picture of a beauty in spring.

“Are you feeling better?” His voice was gentle, just like Tang Nuo’s appearance.

Ye Heng looked at the saline bottle above his head indifferently. Then, he expressionlessly pulled out the needle, causing a trace of blood to appear. “Where is Tang Mingxi?”

Tang Nuo paused and looked a little unhappy.

He had been waiting here for half the night, but when Ye Heng woke up, he asked where Tang Mingxi was.

“Second Brother seemed to have something to do this morning.” Tang Nuo squeezed out a smile. “Yiran went to look for him but couldn’t find him.”

Hearing Huo Yiran’s name, a trace of blood flashed across Ye Heng’s eyes.

“Your body has just recovered. Don’t stand there.” Tang Nuo said considerately, “Second Brother might have something urgent to do, so he didn’t come to see you. Don’t blame him.”

Ye Heng picked up the scarf on the table that was half-burned. The youth’s feathered eyelashes were drooping, and his expression couldn’t be seen clearly.

However, his tightly clenched hands betrayed him. Tang Nuo was about to comfort him when he saw Ye Heng release the scarf and indifferently throw it into the trash can.

As a reincarnator, Tang Nuo naturally knew how important this scarf was to Ye Heng. Therefore, when he saw this scene, Tang Nuo’s expression almost collapsed. “Ye Heng, it’s just a little burned. It can be used after some patches.”

“Of course I have to throw away something that’s broken.” Ye Heng’s face was expressionless.

If Tang Mingxi was here at this moment, he would have realized that something was wrong!

In the original novel, throwing away his sister’s scarf was the first step in Ye Heng’s blackening.

It meant that he had completely bid farewell to his weak past self.

At the same time, he was one step closer to the cannon fodder scumbag himself.

Outside the swimming pool, Tang Mingxi shivered.

He looked up and saw that it was indeed worthy of being the largest private swimming pool in Ningcheng. From today onwards, he, Tang Mingxi, would undergo a year of special survival training here.

Last night, he had been lying in bed thinking about how to escape, but he still had no idea.

However, Tang Mingxi did not intend to sit still and wait for death. Since he already knew how he would die in the future, he would start learning how to swim now. At least when he fell into the water, he would still have a chance of survival.

When he entered the door, the private swimming coach walked over. Tang Mingxi did not wait for him to speak and directly asked, “Do you teach swimming here?”

It was a shame to say that Tang Mingxi was actually a non-swimmer.

“Yes,” the coach said solemnly. “Handsome, what do you want to learn?”

Tang Mingxi said seriously, “Do you teach marathon swimming?”

The coach was surprised. “Sure. Handsome, how far do you want to try? ”

Tang Mingxi made a conservative estimate and said calmly, “About twenty kilometres!”

…

…

The air froze for a few seconds.

The coach said, “Handsome, are you planning to participate in the Olympics and win glory for our country? I don’t mean to say this, but you’re … a little old. ”

“Don’t bully a young man because he’s poor. I just look old.” Tang Mingxi coughed dryly. “Oh right, do you teach high-platform diving?”

The coach said, “Of course. Handsome, you’re quite versatile. Roughly how many metres do you want to dive? ”

Tang Mingxi touched his nose and said firmly, “About two to three hundred metres.”

…

…

The air froze even more than before.

“What’s wrong?” Tang Mingxi thought unhappily. Was two to three hundred metres very high? He was going to jump down from such a high cliff!

How could he not practise in advance?

The coach was speechless, “Are you high diving or diving to commit suicide? The Gillis record for high diving is only sixty-one metres, people have broken their spines jumping off.”

Tang Mingxi said confidently, “It’s fine. I have faith. You just have to teach me.”

–

Tang Mingxi soaked in the swimming pool for the whole morning and finally swam ten metres forward without the lifebuoy. Seeing this, the coach quickly praised him for his talent.

Tang Mingxi’s originally fair skin became even whiter after soaking in the transparent pool. As a second young master who lived a pampered life, Tang Mingxi’s appearance and figure could be said to be the best. His facial features were handsome, and his eyebrows and eyes were extremely beautiful. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been arranged to be the male lead’s first wife.

If he were a vase, then he would be the only limited edition treasure in the world.

Looking back at Second Young Master Tang’s life, he was either racing or riding horses, attending cruise parties, swiping his eldest brother’s card and sitting in a glittering castle piled up with gems.

The only thing that didn’t go well in his life was marrying the male lead.

The swimming pool was at a constant temperature, giving Tang Mingxi the illusion that he was soaking in a hot spring.

If not for Tang Yun’s call, Tang Mingxi, who was sitting by the pool, would have thought that this was just a dream.

On the phone, Tang Yun told him not to forget to pay Old Madam Tang a visit on the first day of the New Year and to bring Ye Heng along.

Only then did Tang Mingxi remember that he still had to deal with a difficult old lady.

In the original novel, Tang Mingxi’s parents died in a car accident due to the struggle between the rich and powerful families. In addition, Old Master Tang suddenly passed away half a year ago. The only elders left in the family were Second Uncle Tang Xuejin and Old Madam Liang Ru.

After Old Master Tang’s death, Old Madam Tang’s mental state hadn’t been very good, but she only liked Ye Heng, this outsider grandson-in-law.

Although Ye Heng hated the Tang family, he respected Old Master Tang and his wife very much.

This was also the main reason why the original owner couldn’t chase Ye Heng out of the Tang family no matter how much he humiliated him.

Not only that, every time he visited Old Madam Tang, the original owner had to pretend to be deeply in love with Ye Heng, which really disgusted the two of them.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Mingxi left the swimming pool and went to the pharmacy. He also asked Auntie Wang to inform Ye Heng.

Half an hour later, Tang Mingxi and Ye Heng sat in the same car. The car drove toward a small French-style courtyard in the eastern suburbs of Ningcheng. Probably because of the commotion last night, the two of them were more silent than usual.

Ye Heng’s expression didn’t reveal any emotions as he stared indifferently ahead.

Or it could be said that after experiencing too much humiliation, he was used to facing Tang Mingxi the next day without anything happening.

Only Tang Mingxi was a little bothered by what happened last night.

Tang Mingxi glanced at the frostbite on Ye Heng’s hand and pinched the frostbite ointment in his pocket.

Tang Mingxi actually felt a little guilty about the matter with Huo Yiran, but he couldn’t bring himself to talk to Ye Heng. After pondering for a long time, he said, “You…”

“Don’t worry.” Ye Heng’s voice had a unique cold charm between a young man and a man. “I will cooperate with you and act well. Old Madam won’t find out.”

Tang Mingxi: …

Alright, since the male lead said so, what was there to worry about?!

After getting out of the car, Tang Mingxi finally understood what Ye Heng meant by “I will cooperate with you and act well.”

The old madam heard the sound of the engine in the courtyard from her room on the second floor. She first called out, “Xiao Xi” then called out, “Aheng”. She had the nanny help her down the stairs.

Tang Mingxi was about to answer when he suddenly felt a hot hand wrap around his waist. Thus, the reply he shouted out became: “… Ah?”

His waist was very thin, and Ye Heng held it with one hand.

He was clearly six years younger than him, but he was a head taller than him.

This was the first time in Tang Mingxi’s life that he was in such a helpless position. He was even nestled in another man’s embrace. Goosebumps immediately appeared all over his body. His body was so stiff that he almost walked with his hands and feet.

The old madam went out, and Ye Heng revealed a very clean smile that suited his age. “Grandma, happy new year. Xiao Xi and I have come to wish you a happy new year. ”

Tang Mingxi: …This is too dedicated.
