Villain: Without morals, you can’t be manipulated!

Chapter 24: Planting Seeds of Suspicion

Yuxi went to find this guy?

Yuxi even treated this bastard to a meal?

Yuxi hasn’t even treated me to a meal before!

Qi Lin, you dog, I’m going to kill you.

Yuxi’s fresh breath—how dare you smell it? Why don’t you just drop dead, you pervert!

Wang Cheng was so consumed with jealousy that he was about to go mad, his fists clenched tightly. But he hadn’t lost his composure completely. He still managed to maintain a smile on his face, pretending to listen to Qi Lin talk.

On the other side, sitting in the back of the car, Lan Yuxi looked like she had lost the will to live, covering her face, her delicate cheeks flushed crimson.

Forget the breath—Qi Lin had kissed her all over her mouth.

French style, no less.

It was too much. She had already guessed that Qi Lin couldn’t possibly be as well-behaved as he seemed. He was definitely saying all of this on purpose, just to let Wang Cheng hear it.

“The class monitor is really a good person, taking the initiative to comfort you… By the way, did the class monitor go back to school after comforting you?”

People are like this— the more jealous they are, the more they want to know what happened next.

“Go back? No, she’s sitting right behind you. Are your eyes okay? You can’t even see someone so close?”

Qi Lin couldn’t hold back anymore, his lips curling up into a wide grin.

“Uh!”

Wang Cheng felt like his neck had rusted; he didn’t even know how he managed to turn it around. When he saw Lan Yuxi sitting behind him, looking awkward and avoiding his gaze, his heart turned ice-cold.

Yuxi was actually in Qi Lin’s car?

Treating this bastard to a meal wasn’t enough—now she was even comforting him in his car? At this moment, their gazes met.

Wang Cheng’s eyes were filled with suspicion, pain, confusion, and heartbreak…

Lan Yuxi’s were filled with guilt, embarrassment, grievance, and helplessness…

“Hey, Wang Cheng, why are you two staring at each other? Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for each other? Didn’t you say you don’t like the class monitor?”

“I’m actually interested in the class monitor now, planning to pursue her. Don’t tell me you’re trying to get in my way?”

Qi Lin’s inappropriate interruption shattered the moment, and he grinned slyly.

Get in your way, my ass!

Wang Cheng cursed Qi Lin furiously in his heart.

Now he understood—Qi Lin really had his eyes on the girl he liked.

“Ahem, Qi Lin, what nonsense are you talking about? We’re still in high school. We shouldn’t be thinking about relationships. If the teachers find out, we’d get into trouble.”

Wang Cheng wasn’t going to admit that he liked Lan Yuxi. What if Qi Lin reported him to the teachers?

At the same time, he wanted to deter Qi Lin and make him give up any ideas about Lan Yuxi.

“You’re you, and I’m me. Don’t lump us together. You’re a top student—you need to study hard, make progress every day, and contribute to society in the future. I’m just a rich second-generation bum. It’s normal for someone like me to date in high school, wouldn’t you say?”@@novelbin@@

Qi Lin smirked, provoking Wang Cheng even further. Wang Cheng’s lips twitched, he didn’t know how to respond anymore.

He realized something—a rich second-generation kid with principles, morals, and a sense of loyalty was easy to deal with. .But a shameless, rule-breaking, layabout rich kid—now that was invincible.

“How strange, though. You two are deskmates, but you act like you don’t know each other. Makes me wonder if you’re secretly seeing each other behind my back.”

Qi Lin sneered, starting the car.

Lan Yuxi finally snapped out of it, her face bright red with anger and shame.

“Qi Lin, if you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll fight you! I already told you—I only have a classmate relationship with Wang Cheng!”

Hearing this, Wang Cheng felt a sharp pang in his heart.

A jealous guy in love can’t tell what’s true and what’s false anymore.

Forcing a smile, he said, “Qi Lin, we’re not what you think. I was just surprised to see the class monitor in your car. And she’s a girl—you shouldn’t joke about her like that.”

Qi Lin had only wanted to sow discord. Now that his goal was achieved, he laughed and said, “It was just a joke. Why’s everyone taking it so seriously?”

When they arrived at the school, Qi Lin said to the two of them, “You guys get out first. I’ll go park the car.”

The seeds of suspicion had already been planted in Wang Cheng’s heart. Qi Lin figured it was time to leave and let the two of them argue.

Hearing this, both Wang Cheng and Lan Yuxi heaved a sigh of relief.

Wang Cheng had so many questions he wanted to ask Lan Yuxi.

And Lan Yuxi just wanted to escape from Qi Lin, the devil, and never be around him again.

“Yuxi, why on earth would you comfort someone like Qi Lin? Did you hear what he said just now? He’s obviously after you!”

Walking along the campus path, Wang Cheng could no longer hold back and questioned Lan Yuxi.

Lan Yuxi didn’t like Wang Cheng’s tone, which made it seem as if she had done something wrong.

“Don’t talk about me. Let’s talk about you. I told you not to get involved with him before. How did you respond? Didn’t you voluntarily befriend him? What right do you have to lecture me?”

Lan Yuxi retorted with a displeased expression.

Wang Cheng, anxious, blurted out without thinking, “Yuxi, I never wanted to be friends with that idiot rich kid. I was just using him, messing with him. Don’t you get it?”

Hearing Wang Cheng’s slip of the tongue, Lan Yuxi was stunned.

At the same time, she started to understand something. No wonder Qi Lin had targeted her. No wonder Qi Lin was messing with Wang Cheng. It turned out Qi Lin had already figured out Wang Cheng’s despicable actions and was taking revenge.

“Yuxi, be honest with me. Why were you with that bastard? And why were you in his car?”

Wang Cheng was still hung up on what had just happened, his jealousy boiling over.
