After I Transmigrated into the Novel, I made the Heroine Fall for Me - Chapter 26.2

Fang Qingyu stepped out of the car first, drawing puzzled glances as he opened the passenger door.

A fair, slender hand reached out and lightly rested on Fang Qingyu’s palm. With a gentle tug, he helped the girl inside step out.

Most people had no idea the Fang couple had a pampered daughter, they had hidden Fang Qingying’s existence well.

When she was a child, Fang Qingying had been involved in an accident, which made her parents too afraid to let anyone know about her.

Therefore, many people present did not know whose daughter Fang Qingying was. They only recognized her as the somewhat notorious internet celebrity standing beside Fang Qingyu, who had recently gained both fame and infamy online.

Moreover, quite a few were eagerly waiting to see Fang Qingyu and Yun Yifan make fools of themselves, given that this controversial female celebrity had once pursued Yun Yifan with great fervor but was now seen cozying up to Fang Qingyu.

If these two high-flyers in the business world were to fall out over a woman, who knew how many others might seize the opportunity to step in?

When it came to the big pie of profits, the more people there were to share it, the smaller each slice would be. Thus, they secretly hoped that some would bow out of the competition especially if those someones were behemoths like the Yun and Fang families.

Although this was ostensibly Yun’s birthday banquet, the number of reporters invited was beyond count.

Given Yun’s intentions, it seemed there might be more hidden beneath the surface, ready to surprise everyone present.

A birthday banquet that Yun had gone to such lengths to organize, how could it possibly be just a simple birthday celebration?

By around seven in the evening, more and more guests began to arrive. Fang Qingyu and Fang Qingying sat to the side, watching the Yun family receive the newcomers.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the distance. Fang Qingying couldn’t quite make out what was happening, only that some heavyweight figure had appeared though she had no idea who it was.

Fang Qingyu gently ruffled her hair and whispered, “I’ll go get you a small cake. Stay here and don’t wander off, okay?”

He was a little worried that Fang Qingying might not be comfortable in such an environment, as she rarely attended these kinds of banquets mainly for her own protection.

The kidnapping incident from their childhood was still etched deeply in their minds. Even though Fang Qingying had only been collateral damage, they dared not let their guard down.

If she hadn’t been an unintended victim, could little Fang Qingying have possibly run off on her own to get kidnapped?

That was simply impossible.

Back then, Fang Qingying had been only six or seven years old, an age of innocence and naivety. How could she have willingly put herself in harm’s way?

“Okay,” Fang Qingying nodded slightly.

As Fang Qingyu walked away, she could feel the unfriendly gazes of the surrounding girls and their condescending, almost disdainful looks, which made her somewhat uncomfortable.

Fang Qingyu was something of a celebrity in high society, a 27-year-old diamond bachelor with no romantic experience, still single since birth.

How could such a man not make their hearts flutter?

After all, first love was the most unforgettable. Even if they didn’t end up marrying Fang Qingyu, becoming his first love would still be quite the achievement.

This very notion had turned Fang Qingying into the target of countless girls’ envy.

Tonight, Fang Qingying wore a pale blue strapless gown, with a delicate silver chain resting on her swan-like neck, its pendant dangling like a star above her collarbone. The dress featured a subtle, lace-cut back that perfectly accentuated her figure.

Her slightly curled hair was playful yet alluring, paired with understated makeup that gave her an air of both innocence and seduction, instantly capturing the mesmerized gazes of many men.

The moment Fang Qingyu left, the faint sense of threat dissipated entirely. Left alone, Fang Qingying resembled a docile little white rabbit dressed in fox’s clothing, unwittingly drawing the attention of those around her.

Fang Qingying waited for a while and noticed that Fang Qingyu was stopped on his way back, likely discussing business.

She swayed her little feet hidden beneath her skirt, the diamonds embedded in the hem shimmering faintly with her movement.

For a moment, she seemed to become the most dazzling presence in the room.

Fang Qingying frowned slightly, hesitantly pulling out her phone from her small purse and staring at the chat interface she had unconsciously opened.

She had to admit, she really missed Gu Shengxiao a little.

That unreliable “888” hadn’t told her at all whether Gu Shengxiao had arrived or not.

If Gu Shengxiao were here, she could at least go find her and complete the mission in passing. That would be better than sitting here like some kind of spectacle.

Perhaps the heavens had heard Fang Qingying’s prayers, because she suddenly spotted a lone male lead slipping away was this a godsent opportunity?

Perfect. To complete her mission, she needed to ask Yun Yifan that question. No matter how he answered, “888” had said it would count as mission completion.

Fang Qingying lowered her head and sent Fang Qingyu a message, saying she was going to the restroom and would be back soon.

The message had just been sent, and Fang Qingyu hadn’t even had time to read it when he turned his head and realized his little princess was gone.

Instantly, Fang Qingyu felt his heart nearly stop, and even the expressions of the three or four executives in front of him turned strange.

Only when his phone buzzed did Fang Qingyu finally relax and continue his conversation with the executives.

After following Yun Yifan for a while, just as he was about to enter the restroom, Fang Qingying lifted her skirt and hurried after him.

“Yun Yifan! Wait a second?” Fang Qingying quickly called out to Yun Yifan, who was already halfway into the restroom.

Hearing his name, he turned around in confusion, about to ask what was going on, only to see Fang Qingying clutching her skirt, panting slightly.

Yun Yifan froze for a few seconds, then, with lightning speed, spun around and bolted straight into the restroom.

Fang Qingying’s eyes widened at the sight, her face full of disbelief.

What kind of person was this? He clearly heard someone call his name, took one look at her, and then dashed into the restroom? Was he really in that much of a hurry?

Honestly, this was her first time meeting the male lead, and already, her image of the domineering CEO had shattered.

Was this cowardly “domineering CEO” really not just the author’s idea of a joke?

Fang Qingying began to suspect that the so-called “domineering CEO” from The CEO’s Darling is an Actress was a fake.

Because, in most novels, shouldn’t the domineering CEO turn around with an imposing aura when called and ask what the matter was?

And especially when seeing a cannon-fodder female side character like her, shouldn’t he at least show a look of disdain?

But no, Yun Yifan, this so-called “domineering CEO,” completely defied expectations.

Despite how quickly he turned and fled, Fang Qingying was certain she had clearly seen sheer terror in his eyes.

An unsolved mystery of this transmigrated world: Why was the domineering CEO afraid of a cannon-fodder female side character?

Just as Fang Qingying was puzzling over what was wrong with this novel’s world, the “fake domineering CEO” Yun Yifan was sitting ungracefully on a toilet lid inside the restroom.
