Ah! The Villains I Forced to Turn Evil Can Read My Mind

Qiao Chuchu stood by Shen Zhuoyan's hospital bed, waiting until the CT room doors slowly opened. She then pushed the bed inside.

Pei Che stood at a distance, watching quietly.

After a while, Qiao Chuchu came out and picked up her phone to make a call.

Pei Che tilted his head, listening closely.

"Sister Lin Qing, something unexpected happened here, and I can't make it... Yes, it's about Shen Zhuoyan. He got hit by a car, and I'm at my second brother's hospital for checkups."

"I'm not injured, don't worry!"

"Oh, by the way, I bought bags for both you and Sister Yu Can, one for each of you. I forgot to give them to you earlier at the nightclub. The bags are on the sofa, go ahead and take a look! It's a New Year's gift for you!"

"Really?~ I'm glad you both like them. I'll stay here a bit longer to accompany him for the checkups!"

After hanging up, Qiao Chuchu leaned against the wall.

[Should I call my second brother to inform him?]

[No, better not. My second brother isn't idle. If I tell him, he might come over, and that would be troublesome.]

Pei Che showed no expression, his gaze locked onto Qiao Chuchu's profile.

An hour earlier, they had returned home to rest, but Pei Ci had suddenly called an urgent family meeting.

Pei Ci leaned on the dining table, speaking with a sarcastic tone: "I'm honored to inform everyone that the reason I beat Pei Buxian was because he confessed to Qiao Chuchu!"

All the brothers looked shocked, turning toward Pei Buxian.

Pei Buxian held his dog, the secret abruptly exposed, but he remained calm: "It's fine, I managed to spin the confession, so the good news is she didn’t notice, and the bad news is she thinks I'm mentally unwell."

Pei Ci slammed the table: "Is this about whether she noticed or not?!"

Pei Buxian stood up, his voice cold as he retorted: "If she didn't notice, then there's no problem."

Pei Ci was seething: "If you had really confessed, have you thought about what kind of family life we would have? You're too selfish!"

Pei Buxian sneered: "Pei Ci, stop being hypocritical. Three years ago, you had a physical reaction to your own sister, yet you're lecturing me?"

Enraged, Pei Ci threw a glass against the wall: "Yes, I was aroused, but so what? Can't I get aroused by a woman I like? Did I press her against a wall and kiss her like you did?!"

Pei Fengnong: "? Where did he kiss her?!"

Pei Youchuan let out a laugh, finding it absurd: "Well, this day has finally arrived, just as I imagined, insane."

Pei Che rested his chin on his hand, looking like a lazy cat observing his brothers quarrel.

Pei Fengnong clenched his teeth, glaring at the two younger brothers: "Listen, if you're going crazy, go to the mental hospital. How can you even say such things?"

Pei Mu chimed in sarcastically: "What’s wrong with saying it? We're already at this stage, it's just a matter of time."

He sneered: "Anyone who wants to back out, leave the table now. Just pretend this never happened."

The words fell, and none of the brothers left their seats.

Pei Buxian patted his chair: "I'm sticking to this chair today! I won't leave!"

Pei Ci, unwilling to back down, sat back: "You stay, so will I!"

Pei Buxian sneered at him: "Weren't you against these kinds of things?"

Pei Ci gritted his teeth, challenging Pei Buxian: "I can adapt, can't I?"

Pei Fengnong felt a pain in his stomach: "Brother, say something."

The other brothers, hearing this, turned their eyes to Pei Yuan, seated at the head of the table.

From the beginning, Pei Yuan had been thinking with his head bowed, seemingly unconcerned.

When he heard Pei Fengnong's plea, he responded calmly: "If that's how it is, then everyone should follow their heart."

Everyone was stunned.

This was an unexpected answer.

Pei Che raised an eyebrow, his finger tapping lightly on the table as he said with interest: "Since we've all laid it out, I have a question."

He fixed his gaze on Pei Yuan: "Brother, after Qiao Chuchu and Lin Qing got kidnapped, Qiao Chuchu fell unconscious in the hospital for a whole day. Once she woke up, she said someone had kissed her. Was that person you?"

The brothers were stunned, their eyes again falling on Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan, still seated at the head, calmly smiled at Pei Che but did not answer.

It seemed as if he had said nothing.

Yet, it also seemed as if he had said everything.

The brothers all drew in a breath sharply, as if struck by lightning.

Pei Yuan ignored their expressions, speaking lightly: "I don’t care what you do, but you must not quarrel amongst yourselves. No infighting, and there must be no more fights. If anyone causes trouble, bringing it before Qiao Chuchu, don’t blame me."

Pei Yuan’s gaze sharpened: "And no one is to hurt Xiao Ba. Anyone who does will be kicked out of the Pei Family."

Pei Che came back to the present, his gaze on Qiao Chuchu as she paced anxiously in the corridor.

His eyes darkened, as if a stealthy mist was quietly spreading: "How did Shen Zhuoyan appear again, as if out of nowhere?"

Shortly after, the door of the CT room opened.

Qiao Chuchu pushed Shen Zhuoyan out, walking toward the direction of Pei Che: "Before the results come out, we should rest well."

Pei Che concealed himself, avoiding being seen by Qiao Chuchu.

Shen Zhuoyan lay on the bed, tranquil like a newly awakened beauty, his tone tinged with a hint of probing: "Then... will you be with me?"

Qiao Chuchu responded decisively: "Don't worry, I've already said I'll cover the costs, so naturally, I have to stay with you until you're safe. Back when I was studying, you helped me through a lot."

She passed by Pei Che, leaving behind a faint scent that lingered in his nostrils.

Pei Che watched their retreating figures.

Qiao Chuchu’s slender body, easily tossed onto a bed, was surprisingly pushing the heavy hospital bed.

An assistant by Pei Che's side remarked: "Chairman, it seems your sister is a very gentle girlfriend, this lad she's with must be really lucky."

Pei Che scoffed: "He's not her boyfriend."

The assistant was puzzled: "Ah?"

Pei Che’s eyes darkened with a sinister gleam, his voice sharp: "He won’t be her boyfriend either."

Meanwhile, Qiao Chuchu sat beside Shen Zhuoyan's hospital bed. As she relaxed, she began to lose focus.

Pei Che stood not far from the emergency room, stepping toward her.

Qiao Chuchu sighed inwardly.

[I just saw a new future for myself. It turns out I’ll have a downhill life because I offended a powerful force. So, no matter what, I have to make that person mine, or I have to become that powerful force.]

She tapped the edge of her phone absentmindedly, her expression turning deep.

[If I fail to grasp that power, the ones I love, the ones I care about, will all perish.]

[The only one to survive will be me.]

[The new ending I saw proves that I’ll be humiliated by the two old men of the Dragon Family, yet I feel… it won’t just be those two.]

[Those men will bring more. They’ll humiliate me in a mental hospital, possibly even using my body for transactions.]

Feeling an indescribable frustration in her chest, Qiao Chuchu absentmindedly scrolled through videos on her phone, the more she thought, the angrier she became!

[Damn it, I never imagined Xia Xuechun would go so far as to arrange for me to be raped. I thought her worst act would be trying to kill me!]

[Since she’s so vindictive, then I’ll send her to a mental hospital and let those two men who tried to humiliate me taste the shame of being violated themselves! I’ll make them suffer horribly!!]

Her phone was suddenly covered by a hand.

Qiao Chuchu was startled, her gaze meeting Shen Zhuoyan’s deep and dark eyes.

Her anger had brought a sparkle of moisture to her eyes, despite her attempts to control it, her facial expression still showed a vicious fierceness.

Like a trapped beast growling behind a corner.

Shen Zhuoyan lifted his upper body slightly, his cool phoenix-like eyes mirroring her silhouette, and slowly moved closer to her: "Qiao Chu, can you offer me a job?"

Qiao Chuchu frowned: "What kind of job do you want?"

With a focused gaze, Shen Zhuoyan’s cold eyes looked directly at her: "Become your bodyguard."

"?" Qiao Chuchu thought she had misheard: "Become my bodyguard? I don't need a bodyguard."

"No, you do," Shen Zhuoyan propped himself up, moving closer to her, his voice a gentle persuasion: "I'm very capable. You don't have to pay me, I just need room and board and to be by your side every day."@@novelbin@@

He took her hand: "I can be your most loyal dog, trust me."

Qiao Chuchu grew more and more shocked with each word.

Shen Zhuoyan's eyes, intense and deep, sparkled with a passionate fire. "What do you think? Do you want me?"
