Chapter 210
“He’s despicable to the core. He doesn’t want me anywhere near that girl because he’s afraid my presence will trigger his insecurities again. So, he hits me, insults me…”
“Yesterday, when I saw him using the classic ‘carrot and stick’ approach on a beauty like you, I just couldn’t hold back. It was as if heaven heard my fervent prayers and led me to find you again in this vast sea of people.”
“I’m telling you all this so you can see what kind of person Long Aotian really is. I can’t just stand by and watch you be deceived by him!”
After hearing Ye Liangchen’s long-winded speech, Shen Mengjie felt a bit dazed.
Is the Long Aotian he’s talking about really the same person she knows?
Ye Liangchen tossed his hair back, a confident smile playing on his lips. “After all, we’ve been friends for a whole minute since yesterday.”
Shen Mengjie rolled her eyes. “Can you not toss your hair in front of me?”
“What’s wrong with that?” Ye Liangchen instinctively flicked his hair again. “Honestly, I don’t want to, but so many people say it makes me look cool.”
At this point, he shrugged and tossed his hair again. “Okay, I’ll accept that they think I’m cool, so I’ll keep doing it.”
“Forget about that for now. You really need to watch out for Long Aotian.”
Saying this, Ye Liangchen was taking a gamble.
He was betting that someone like Long Aotian, who couldn’t resist beautiful women, would reveal his true, vile nature.
Shen Mengjie frowned, wanting to say something, but a sudden realization struck her.
Her gaze towards Ye Liangchen softened with a hint of moisture.
“So you’re saying Long Aotian is actually a bad person?”
Seeing the change in Shen Mengjie’s expression, Ye Liangchen let out a sigh of relief. He knew he had won this bet.
“Exactly! He’s utterly deranged!”
“Don’t be fooled by his looks. Inside, he’s rotten to the core.”
“Unlike me, who, up to this point, has a heart as pure as a flawless white lotus.”
Shen Mengjie couldn’t help but twitch her lips. Watching him act like a green tea princess (a term for someone who pretends to be innocent and pure), she thought, how should she put it… it was just a bit amusing.
“What should I do then? If what you say is true, Long Aotian won’t stop until he gets what he wants, right?”
“Should I report him to the instructor?”
Hearing Shen Mengjie ask what to do, Ye Liangchen couldn’t help but smirk with a sense of triumph.
Confidently shaking his head, he replied, “Reporting him to the instructor won’t help. I know Long Aotian too well; unless you transfer schools, otherwise…”

“But don’t worry. Since fate brought us together, it’s likely that I’m here to save you!”
Watching Ye Liangchen’s self-satisfied expression, Shen Mengjie found this game to be quite entertaining.
Ye Liangchen pretended to think for a moment. “Long Aotian is definitely the type who won’t stop until he gets what he wants. He might even do something crazy to get you, and I can’t always be by your side to protect you.”
Taking a deep breath, he furrowed his brow tightly.
Shen Mengjie quietly watched Ye Liangchen’s performance.
When he looked over at her, she quickly put on a worried expression.
Seeing her concern, Ye Liangchen finally revealed his plan. “If you trust me, just do as I say. This might be the only way to help you escape Long Aotian’s clutches!”
“What’s the plan?”
“Pretend to comply with Long Aotian.” As he said this, Ye Liangchen’s pace quickened a bit. “What I mean is to feign compliance. Only then can you avoid his extreme measures against you.”
“Shen Mengjie, you’re beautiful. Among the people I know, you rank in the top four for looks and figure.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Mengjie frowned, clearly displeased. But Ye Liangchen’s next words made her smile.
“However, to Long Aotian, you’re a breath of fresh air. As long as you pretend to comply and make him fall for you completely, when he loves you the most, just come to my side. At that point, you’ll have taken half of Long Aotian’s life, and he won’t be a threat anymore!”
This was Ye Liangchen’s little scheme. If Shen Mengjie agreed, he could use her to gather evidence of Long Aotian’s infidelity.
At that point, he didn’t believe that Hu Yuying, Li Qingxue, and Lin Wanning could tolerate Long Aotian’s infidelity.
As long as there was a crack in their hearts, he could slip in.
Ye Liangchen was confident that during the time he won over Hu Yuying and the others, he could also make Shen Mengjie fall for him completely.
In this way, he would not only win over Hu Yuying and the others but also have Shen Mengjie.
Sorry, but this time, I win!

“I really didn’t expect Long Aotian to be this kind of person. I didn’t notice anything during our daily interactions. You’re not lying to me, are you?”
Shen Mengjie’s astonished expression, tinged with a hint of confusion, greatly satisfied Ye Liangchen’s desire to perform.
“Sometimes, you really can’t judge a person by their surface. Long Aotian knows how to disguise himself. If you hadn’t met me, when Long Aotian revealed his true nature, you would be the one getting hurt.”
“I know that when I suddenly tell you all this, you’ll find it hard to believe. You might think, how can there be such a wicked person in this world? But the truth is, Long Aotian’s depravity far exceeds your imagination.”
Ye Liangchen spoke with heartfelt sincerity, almost ready to kneel and swear an oath to convince Shen Mengjie.
The reason he was willing to go this far was that he saw hope in Shen Mengjie to defeat Long Aotian and reclaim everything that originally belonged to him.
He wanted to use Shen Mengjie to show Hu Yuying, Li Qingxue, and Lin Wanning that they had misjudged him. Long Aotian was nothing but a heartless playboy, always chasing after novelty.
Only by doing this could he possibly make them lose faith in Long Aotian.
On the other hand, the more emotionally invested he appeared, the more he could leave a lasting impression on Shen Mengjie.
Ye Liangchen was confident that with his looks and charm, combined with this strong impression, he would make Shen Mengjie fall for him completely.
Everything would be like a dream; he would become their little sun, cherished as their one and only.
“Don’t do that. I… I believe you.” As she saw Ye Liangchen kneeling, ready to swear an oath, Shen Mengjie took a step back, unknowingly standing right in front of him, and perhaps by coincidence, her finger brushed against her phone, opening the camera mode.
Hearing Shen Mengjie say she believed him, Ye Liangchen confidently flicked his hair back, a smile spreading across his face. “Thank you for your trust. I knew my efforts wouldn’t be in vain.”
“Can you get up now?”
Only then did Ye Liangchen realize he was still kneeling. He quickly stood up, feeling a bit awkward. “Sorry, I got a bit carried away and lost my composure.”
“You must really hate Long Aotian, right?” Shen Mengjie asked softly.
In Ye Liangchen’s words, Long Aotian seemed like a villain beyond redemption.
They must have had many interesting and amusing encounters.
Shen Mengjie enjoyed the intrigue and wanted to know more about what had happened between them.
Of course, there might be some truth and some lies, but it had to be said, this was indeed an entertaining little game.
Ye Liangchen clenched his fists tightly. “Hate? How could I not hate him?”
“There’s a café up ahead. How about I treat you to some coffee?” Shen Mengjie said gently, not wanting to stand there like a fool...
“Ah, I’ve been rude. How could I let you treat me, Mengjie? As a gentleman, I should be the one treating you.” Ye Liangchen smiled, feeling pleased.
Great, it seemed he had piqued her interest. Even when he called her Mengjie, she didn’t object. Oh, this damned, uncontainable charm of mine.
Once inside the café, Shen Mengjie crossed her legs, quietly watching Ye Liangchen.
“Wait a moment while I gather my emotions,” he said, taking a deep breath, the image of Long Aotian slapping him flashing in his mind.
In the next second, he clenched his fists tightly. “Hate? How could I not hate him?”
“You have no idea what happened to me.”
In Ye Liangchen’s narrative, he recounted how he met the treasure girl, how they got to know each other, fell in love, only for Long Aotian, that beast, to take advantage of his absence and force his treasure girl.
